Tho week ending 8 n. M, Monday,
June 8. had Il mean temperature uf

companying thunder storms. There
was more than the usual amount OF
clnudiness.

Owing to interrupted mail commun-
ication, reports from the extreme

ing. These excessive rains did great
damage by washing lands, and Hood
Ing bottom lands. All crops are de-
stroyed on bottom lands in the wcS-
tern part of the state by Hoods. The
ground is too wet in all parts to per-
nit cultivation, and fields are becom-

damaging hail occurred in Abbeyille,

the total destruction oI hundreds OF
acres of corn, tobacco an some cot

uncut oats. The rainfall was Of great
benefit To crops where it was not ex-
cesSive, and where not accompanied

ment In their prospects.
Cotton improved in stand, color

tion made slow progress. Lice have
appeared In a few places. The plants
