Weather and Crops.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions says:
Cotton has suffered materially from
heavy rains and lack of sunshine over
large part of the central and eastern
districts Of the cotton region, where,
as in the previous weeks, rapid
growth, and in some localities too
much stalk, excessive shedding and
rust are reported. The plant, how
ever, is generally well fruited through
out the belt. In Texas the boil weevil
is doing much damage, except in the
northern counties, and boil worms are
more numerous and destructive. A
little picking has been done through
out the southern portions Of the belt,
but this work is not yet general.
The condition of tobacco in Tennes-
see is exceptionally favorable and a
fair crop is promised in Kentucky,
where an improvement is indicated. A
fair to good crop is being cut in
Maryland and Virginia. In Penn
sylvania,. though backward, tobacco
has made fair progress, but drought
has materially lessened its condition
in Ohio.

September Eyerybody's.

Everybody's Magazine for Septem-
Der reaches the highest standard OF
magazine publishing it has yet attain
ed. A glance through its pages con-
vinces one that the publishers are at
least approximating their expressed
purpose to make magazine for Every
body. The IA pages which they are
running enables them to cover vastly
larger number and vastly wider va
riety of subjects than is possible to
the average ten-cent magazine with
its 96 pages. In this September num-
Der of EVerybody's it would seem as
if every phase of human activity and
human interest has representation. A
happy faculty is shown by the publish
ers in selecting their writer's. Thus
for the article which appeared IN the
August number entitled GA Successor
to Pope Leo, - matter Of intense in
terest to Catholics, was secured F..
Marion Crawford, the most eminent
Catholic writer in the world and the
official biographer Of the Pope. And
in the September number each writer
is especially well fitted to handle
the subject he undertakes. The politi-
cal interets of the number is sustain
ed by Emily Crawford, who displays
her intimate knowledge of the games
of nations in an article on the diplo-
matte relations of the various courts
of Europe. Biographical interest is
supplied in a striking character study
Of Joseph Pulitzer. "Radium and
Human Life,'' by Theodore Waters,
discusses IN simple style this wonder
full discovery of modern science. The
children's feature and the stage fea-
ture are embraced in one article, en-
titled "Children " Of the Stage" by
Alexander Hume Ford. Of intense
interest to "The Men who Toll, "
Lawrence Perry tells how W. J. Miles,
the tower director, swings 500 trains
a day in and out Of the Grand Central
Station, New York. And for the "The
Women who Toil' there is an account
by Marian West Of how DR.. Dunning,
the first woman ambulance surgeon,
won her appointment. In "The Gods

Lewis tells several good stories Of Lin

WEATHER CONDITIONS.

The barometer pressure is lowest
over the lake regions and on the entire
Pacific slope, and it is the highest
over the South Atlantic States. Mod
erately heavy rains occurred in the
lake regions, the lower Missouri val
ley and in Texas. There was light
scattered showers over the central
and eastern parts of the cotton belt.
The heat wave continues to occupy
the central valleys and southeastern
States with the area Of greatest heat
over the Carolinas Ohio valley, Illi-
nois and Missouri. 1t is cooler in the
lake regions and upper parts.lof the
central valleys. The highest tempera-
ture reported was 96 at Cincinnati,
Richmond and st. Louis, the lowest

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Columbia, Aug. 25.-The week end
ing a. ~, Monday, August 24th,
had mean temperature of IS degrees,
which is 2 degrees below normal, due
to low day temperatures during the
first four days, that were entirely
cloudy, humid and rainy. The last
three days were clear and dry. There
wore local high winds in Oconee,
Pickens, Anderson and Fairfield coun-
ties that did some damage, and there
was light hail-storm in Oconee.
Generally heavy, in places excessive,
rains occurred over the whole State
during the first four days, with local
amounts ranging from one inch in
the western counties to over six inches
in the southeastern counties. In,
places lands were badly washed and
crops damaged, but where not exces-
sive, the rains were beneficial on all
crops except cotton. The average
amout for the State was 2.38 inches.
The condition of young corn con-
tinues to improve, except on bottom
lands that are too wet, where corn is
firing. Old corn is about ripe, and
fodder is being pulled from it in all
sections.
The rains damaged some fodder
while curing.
The rains of the week were harmful
to cotton by causing increased she'd
ding of squares and young bolls, and
rust has appeared in nearly all sections.
In places the rains caused too rank a
growth of weed at the expense of fruit
age that was already on the stalks.
These unfavorable conditions were
general, while caterpillars, sharp
shooters and boll-worms appeared
locally, but have as yet caused small
damage. Cotton is opening slowly in
the eastern and central counties, and
has not begun to open in the western
ones. Picking is as yet sporadic. Sea-
island cotton continues to make sea
sonable improvement.
Rice improved rapidly, and early
rice is ripening. Harvest will begin
next week. Sweet potatoes and cane
are improving steadily. Grasses for
hay and pastures are making good
growth. Turnips sowing continues un-
der favorable conditions for rapid ger
mination. There was too much rain
for truck just coming up. Fruit con-
tinues plentiful in the extreme wes-
fern cnunfieS

MAGNOLIA NEWS NOTES.

Magnolia, Aug. 24-Now that we
have some solid fair weather after such
a long wet spell, our farmers. and
merchants of course-are looking much
more cheerful. Cotton is opening
right along now, and in six or eight
more days picking season" will open
up, and then small change will be in
demand. Guess the opening price
will be 40 cents per hunded, but hands
may contend for moreno telling.
Miss Matte Tarrant, after several
days visit in this place left for
Orangeburg Sunday morning.
Misses Anna and Eva Stuckey after

der the circumstances.
