TO the Editor Of the Dispatch
aAll quiet along the Potomac to-
night" This is the condition here.
No news of interest. +, rners are
all busy gathering cotton and hay:
A cotton merchant said in Colum-
bia Saturday that cotton is of and
would continue to fall. Why so,
was asked. The government report
as to the crop condition is in, and
gentlemen, what do you suppose!
Why, the cotton crop of the State is
quoted at 80 per cent. Well it may
be so per cent, but it is not in this
section, and I have not heard OF it
being 80 per cent. in any other Sec
ton of the State from those who
ought to know. have met several
friends in Columbia and they were

ton was doing pretty we'll when the
drought set in but it has played
havoc with the young cotton and
hurt the old cotton pretty bad.
Somebody is lying, I don't know who.
Well, so it is, a poor farmer works
and is urged on and when he gathers
his crop these reporters make false
returns and the Speculation is bene-
fitted, the poor farmer hardly pays
expenses, bat then he is good hearted,
poes to work and tries it over next

the dead tomato plant Mr.. Bauer
said: "A cursory glance at this
shows that it was killed by some
blight. Had it been destroyed by
frost it would have been as black as
your hat. No frost has occurred in
this State as the lowest temperature
registered during the recent cold
wave was 40 at a point in Pickens
county and I am not sure that that
was correct, particularly as there ia

q point in the same county a temper

"Frost occurs sometimes at a tenn
perature of AZ but only when the
weather conditions are exceedingly
in it's favor. There must be no
wind, q clear sky, and the ground
must be absolutely dry. During the
cold snap there was wind almost all
the time. No, I think that this plant
was killed by q blight, particularly as
certain spots Of the disease appear
upon it."

Blessing Of Sunshine.

New York Sum-.
Prof. Lugeon of tie University of
Lausanne has been studying the pop
ulation of The valley of the Rhone
between Martigny and the Rhone
glacier. The statistics show that the
right bank of the river between these
points has q population of $4,000
while only 10000 persons live along
the left bank.
There are two reasons for this Diff
ference in the density of population
of two banks of the Rhone. One
is that the right bank is less billy and
therefore offers better natural condi-
tions for the building of hamlets and
towns; but Prof. Lugeon is convinced
that a more important influence is ex-
erted by the different degrees of SUM-
shine enjoyed by the two banks.
He has found that along a part Of
the river banks which present exactly
the same topographic conditions the
population of the side which is most
exposed to the sun has from four to
five times as many inhabitants as the
other bank, which is in the shadow
of the mountains that ward off most
of the direct rays Of the sun. With
one or two exceptions all the villages
have been built on the bank which is
most fully exposed to the Gums rays.
This influence of the presence or
absence of sunlight also manifests it.
self in the psychic characteristics
and the material conditions of the
population of the two river banks.
On the right side of the river in the
sun the population live more at their
ease, are more prosperous and pre-
SCENTS a degree of civilization more
advanced than those of the opposite
shore.
He calls those who are most favor
ed with sunlight the solar aristocracy
and says that they contemplate with a
certain disdain the inferior population
who dwell in the shadow across the
river.
The people of the village of Reck.
lingen, which occupies both banks of
the Rhone, are notably divided into
two distinct castles whose origin, in
the last analysis, may be attribut-
ed to the difference of sunshine to
which the two groups are exposed.
