No rule OF conduct is less Diplomatic

held by such mistaken persons appears
to be this: That the man who means

that the world takes each individual
at his own valuation, the ignorant
nincompoop sets himself up as one who
has scarcely time to breathe, much
less to smile, SO vast are the rcspon-
sibilities that his important position
entails But he Is taking absolutely
q mistaken line. His opposite in
manners tcmpers his inoxperience
with u softened air Of diflldencc, meets
his. contemporaries with a smile OF

scowl, and goes out Of his way to be

spare tho Birds.

~ plea comes to the women from The
Audubon Society OF South Carolina to
wear no birds on their headgcar. That
The plea comes just at this time is
significant. For the roses that bloom
on summer hats, be they blue, black,
green or purple, are alphabetically crush
cd and fadcdi and tile feminine heart
is yoarning for the new fall hats, with
their scagulls, cgretS, humming birds
and Indian parrots. Here the Andu-
bon Society sends up q protest. The
scagullS, which are now being killed
0y thousands for use as ornaments, arc
the scaYcngers Of our hays and har-

skins OF humming birds and 228,,28o
bundles OF Indian parrots were sold

Carolina was organized IN Charleston,
January 4, 1900, with membership of
thirty-six, which has grown to over two
hundred. The object is not merely
the suppression Of wild birds for orna-
ment, but the organization of Il per
mancnt society for the diffusion Of in
formation concerning the utility of
our birds, for encouraging tho study OF
wild birds, and for aiding the passage
and proper enlargement Of good game
and bird laws. There arc no dues, cx-
pcnscs being betrayed by voluntary
contributions. On tho list Of officers
and board OF directors are names Of re-
preventative men and women from all
parts Of the State. The society is open
TO all men, women and children who
are interested in the preservation Of
our birds, and names will be put on

~ Flower Crusade.

Several years ago, says The ndlan-
apOlis Journal, flowcr-lOving citizen
Of Cleveland, o., organized Il club for
the ornamcntation OF the home. Out
Of this small beginning has grown the
Cleveland Home Gardening Associa-
tl0n, otherwise known as tho flower
crusade. Children are enlisted in the
movement, which is under the man
agcmcnt Of tho association. This Or
ganization distributes seeds among
school children, examines the garden
exhibits in competition, and distrib-
utcs the prizes, number Of which arc
offered. The seeds went to 10000
homes last year. Not only are homes
bcautiiled by these flowers, but school
yards. Last year the children planted
In all 10000 packages Of seeds.
The results are SO evident that the
casual observer notes the change In
the smoky city, and IL Is. known
throughout the State as the "city of
flowers" st. Louis has now taken the
matter up. a botanical club has pre-
pared q system Of seed distribution
In cooperation with ono OF the seed
companies. The reward offered In
this case to tho children who arc most
successful Is u diploma signed by the
Mayor, indicating that the holder is
worthy OF merit for aiding in the
bcautifying Of st. Louis. This sort
Of enterprise will show results long
after the flowers Of any given year
have faded. The experience Of the
children will not be forgotten by thcm,
but will be renewed when they arc In
possession Of homes Of their own.
And this form Of ornamcntation will
open their eyes to the needs aIdl pos
sibilitlcs In other directions. SIS

Hurrah for the Farmer.

Piping times Of plonLy these should
DC for the farmers In our great West If
the recent government crop report is
to be trusted, says tho Spartanburg
Journal. According to the figures, we
shall have invested, when the fields
are all cut and the shocks all gathered
in, the greatest crop ever known in
the history Of ouragricuIture. 1t will
consist, so the Official estimate runs,
Of Y corn crop Of 2,422 100000 bushels,
G34 100000 bushels of wheat and S0G,-
100000 bushels Of oats, an aggregate or
3,SG2 10000 bushels for the three
grains The general effect of tho crop
prospects is reflected IN tho way mcr-
chants in all sections save those in
Texas, Whero tho crops were damaged
by tho reCcnt droughts, are in&Ihc
markets us free buyers Of goods Their
stocks have been allowed TO
run down, and they are buying
freely for the trade and taking IL bet
ter class Of goods than heretofore.
The feature OF the trade is that goods
arc wanted earlier than in previous
seasons, All tho factories are said TO
be busy. Railroads arc having a larger
movement OF merchandise to tho agri-
cultural sections than last year, and
tralicgcnerally is fully us heavy as last
year: Money Is plenty and cheap, and
the West never had SO much prospcri-
tIy IN sight. So, hurrah for corn! hurrah
for wheat! hurrah tor oatsl Ilurrah
for al Of us, hut especially hurrah for
the farsiThtcd, hardworking farmer
who planted tho crop that has broken
the record! In THIS connection we
would ask why should not the South
crn farmer show in this great prospcri-
ty that has overwhelmed the farmers
OF the West? There Is but one an
swcr, and that is that our farmers
stick to cotton, while tho farmers OF
the West diversity their crops.

Not Encouraging.
Mr.. j. w. Bauer in his weekly re-
port says: The temperature was alb
normally high during the first, and de-
cldcdly cool during the second half OF
the week ending Monday, August 2h,
with an average OF rs degrees, Il maxi
mum Of 101 degrees at Anderson on

Anderson, Grecnvlllc and Ncwbcrry
.countlcS, accompanied by destructive
High winds, but the injury to crops
was confined to limited areas. There
was more than a normal amount OF
sunshine during the first Of tho week
followed sncccssivcly by much cloldi-
ness and then clear weather.
Quite general rains fell on Lhc 18th,
too late to be reported for last weeks
bulletin, and scattered showers oc-
CURED on the Goth, 2lst, 22d and 23d,
the latter nearly general over the
gcrater portion OF the State. Some
points continue to stand In ncod of
rain, but generally the ground has
sufficient moisture for the present
need of crops. In places the rain in
tcrferred with current teamwork, but
on the whole it was beneficial to grow
ing crops.
Late corn continues to make good
progress, and with limited exceptions
promises fair yields. Bottom land
corn is very fine.
Cotton failed to share fully In the
general improvement Of growing crops
due largely to the spread Of rust that
stopped further growth, and caused
shedding and premature opening, al
though on claycy soils there is a new
growth that continues to bloom and
fruit. Tho outlook for a large top
crop is not promising, except ON low
spots where there has bccn plenty OF
moisture throughout the season. On
sandy up'ands the plants have put on
all tho fruit they will do, and are now
dying. Cotton is oping rapidly over
the whole State. Some correspondents
report nearly half the bolls opcn.
Picking is actively under way in all
sections, but showers and extreme
heat intcrfcrrcd at times with this
work. In places open cotton was
damaged by the heavy rains and high
winds. The crop ranges from poor TO
very good; and this diversity in condi-
tion exists in all portions OF the State,
and even in the same townships. The
season as whole is earlier than the
average.
Peas, sweet potatoes and corn i'm
proved. Rice is ripenng and harvest
has begun in a small way.
