MAGNOLIA NEWS LETTER.
Some Crop omments-PersonaI Men-
tion and Items of Local Interest.

Magnolia, July 20.-Judging from
the present outlook, some of the
farmers in this immediate section
will make full average crop of corn
and cotton-in fact the prospect with
this class is brighter than it was
last year at this season. There are
others who will make, with favorable
seasons, two-thiirds Of a crop of
cotton, and hardly half crop of corn
but out Of this immediate section
except in some spots, the prospect is
the poorest I ever saw, cotton and corn
very small and yellowish. The low
and level land, where well drained,
fertilized and properly cultivated, will
make a full crop, if no disaster; but
the crop on rolling or sandy land, with
few exceptions is poor in the ex-
treme. Taking everything into con-
sideration I would say that 60 per
cent. of a full crop is all that can be
reasonably expected. I am satisfied
that these figures do not over estimate
the crop. This writer is no pessimist.
Mrs. Annie Lilies is visiting her
father, Mr.. Jno. NJ. Miller, in this

Hon. T. G. Mcleod, now of Bish-

Not. Sumter Paupers.

The following paragraph appeared
Saturday in the Charleston correspon-
dence Of the Columbia State:
81. D. Hambrick and wife, a blind
couple of Sumter, were picked up on
the streets today and lodged at police
headquarters. They had been in
formed that there was a home here
for the blind which would be open to
them and they had come to Charles
ton for the purpose. Unfortunately,
there is no such place, and the blind
couple will probably be sent back to
Sumter
These people were in this city a
few days ago and applied to the city
authorities for transportation to Char
lesion, which was given them on their
representation that they would be taken
care Of if they could reach Charleston.
They stated that they had been liv-
ing in Columbia and that their
way had been paid to Sumter by the
Columbia authorities. They are not
Sumter's paupers, and SO far as is
known had not spent moro than twelve
hour In this city. The statement made
by the Charleston correspondent does
an injustice to this place, for Sum-
ter is not given to dumping its pau
pers on other places.

AN EXPLANATION.
A Statement That Shows Why it Was
Necessary TO Offer Reward for State.
burg lncendiary

To the Watchman and Southron:
> In last weeks paper you say that you
have been informed that the person
guilty Of burning the barn and stables
of Mr.. Il. L. Pinckney of this place,
has been located for several weeks
and RIO arrest has been made which
you think peculiar. MIR. Pinckney
has had reason to believe that he has
located the guilty person from the &C
tions of man living near his place,
and also from what the colored peo-
pie ON the place have told him, all
circunlstantial evidence, and several
of his neighbors agreed with him
that the colored people might be in
duced to tell enough to convict the in
cendiarist by the nope of reward, and
decided to ask the Governor to offer
one. A man has been arrested and
lodged in Jail, and it is hoped, that
with the reward offered by the Gov
ernor and the s25 offered by the COM
pany with which the buildings were
insured, that evidence sufficient to
convict may be obtained. [ agree with
you in thinking it PECULIAR to ask
for reward if the guilty person had
been positively known, but I think
when only known by reasonable sus-
picion, a person is justified in asking
for reward. I have written this ex-
planation because [ was one of those
present when it was decided to ask
for the reward and was requested to
write 10 the Governor, which did.

HOT WEATHER ON ANIMALS.
Be MercifuI to Dumb Brutes.

Why should not the good citizens
of Sumter organize society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals? Not
but what the majority are mercifully
inclined toward all brute creation,
but there are exceptions to all rules,
and OCCASIONALLY instances are seen
where q salutary lesson in the way OF
a five dollar fine would be of much
service.
A few suggestions regarding the
treatment Of our animals during the
heated termgmight not be amiss.
Be merciful with the check rein on
horses, and treat them to straw hat
to wear in the sun. Put vet sponge
in the hat and see that it is kept wet,
taking off the hat at sun down. TO
protect from flies and. d.insects make 8
preparation Of one ounce Of pennyreyal
to pint of olive oil and rub it over
the animal lightly. These little pre-
cautions may save you valuable ami
NAL.
Give your dog plenty of water and
don't permit him to run after your
carriage or bicycle. Don't tie him up
to fret, and if you see dog acting
strangely on the street, don't yell
mad dog" for. rabies is one of the
rarest diseases known, and he is only a
sufferer from the hsat and needs
treatment the same as you would.
Then again don't forget your little
birds-prisoners in cage-see they
have plenty of water, fresh air, and
but little sun.

but generally the crop improved and is
in bloom over the whole State, but
looks yellow, is small, and is not
fruiting well and shedding some on
sandy lands. The east central coun-
ties show least improvement. Many
fields will not be in full bloom until
aboat August 1st. Some cotton has
been laid by, and most of it has been
rid of grass, while much is still grassy
and will be- laid by in that condition.
Sea-island cotton is doing well.
Tobacco curing continues, and the
crop is about half gathered. Rice is
shooting and heading, although about
two weeks late. Peas and sweet pota-
toes doing well. Fruit is variable,
but much rotting OF peaches is still
complained of, The general condition
of minor crops is good. Fall truck
planting continues.

weekly Crop Bulletin.

Columbia, July 21-The week end
ing s a. n, Monday, July Goth, had a
mean temperature Of 70 degrees, which
IS about 2 degrees below normal.
Daring the middle CT the week the
nights were too cool for the best de-
veiopment and growth Of cotton, but
no other crop was apparently adverse
II affected. and the last three days
again had more seasonable tempera-
tures. There was considerable cloudi-
ness, and the air was humid early II
the week, but the last half was sun
ny, with very low relative humidity
and fresh to brisk. drying winds dur
ing the daytime.
On the 18th there vas rain over the
State, heavy in places, and it was gen.
orally beneficial, though not needed in
the east central counties, where low
lands are still too wet to cultivate,
and are grassy, and where some corn
and cotton have been destroyed by
she wetness, or will be abandoned ow-
ing to their foul condition and the
impraeticability of cleaning them.
There is need of more rain in the north
central counties where corn and cot
son are beginning to suffer, but over
the rest of the State there is plenty OF
moisture for the continued rapid
growth Of all crops. The rainfall
averaged LA inches, and in places ex-
ceeded four inches.
There was general improvement in
crop conditions during the week, very
slight in the east central and north
central counties, and on sandy lands
generally, but marked in the west CEN
tral and western ones, and about
normal in the Pee Dee sections. The
improvement is confined to feds and
crops that have been properly cultivat-
ed. Laying by made rapid progress,
bat is much later than usual, with
indications that many fields will be
laid by in grassy condition.
Early corn is made in the eastern
counties, and is generally we'll cared,
and being laid by in other sections.
Young corn has good color and looks
promising.
The cools nights checked the other

A PROTEST FROM SUMTER.
City Clerk Writes That Blind and Home
less Couple, Were Sent From Sumter
to Charleston at Their Request.

A story was printed in Saturdays
issue of The News and Courier con-
cerning blind couple, Mr.. and Mrs.
j. d. Hambrick, who were found
wandering helpless and penniless about
the streets, and who we're taken to the
Police Station for safekeeping. They
stated that the good people of Sum
ter had provided money sufficient
to bring them to this city and that
they would find home in Charleston.
Chief of Police Boyle yesterday re-
ceived letter from the city clerk Of
Sumter, part of which reads as fol-
lows:
"These people do not belong in Sum
ter. They came here this week and
said they were on their way to Char
lesion, that they had been sent out of
Columbia, their passage being paid
this far. Sumter never dumps her IN
fortuates on other communities. AS
an act of humanity we paid their way
to their destination. We did not
send them forty miles to another town
to pass along to the next. What city
or county is responsible for the sup
port of this poor old couple I do not
know. Never heard of them or saw
them except for the few minutes the
old lady was in my Office. -
Very truly,
G. M. Hurst, City Clerk
When at the Police Station the old
lady stated that she had been told
in Sumter that home would be pro-
vided for her in Charleston. 1t is
probable that she misunderstood her
informant. After a days stay in this
city the afflicted couple were provid-
ed with sufficient funds to take them
back to Sumter. They were sent to
that city at their own request.
The Sunday Augusta Herald re-
prints the account in the News, after
the following introduction A few
days ago the Herald told of the pitiful
case of blind husband and wife call
ing at the police station and asking
aid. They, so far as the Augusta po-
lice know, had gone to Savannah, after
having been furnished with passes to
that city and a sum of money kindly
raised by the police. Now comes a
sequel to the story-a story which
reads much like the one told Of in the
Herald, but the scene is laid at the
Charleston Police Station.
It appears that they are without
kith or kindred and can find no home.

of so interesting a nature that we ask
its republication in your columns.

(" "signers'' must have lived in what is
now Sumter county. Wood Furman,
one of the signers, was member OF
the famous Jacksonborough As

and of which Gen. McCrady, in his
ss History of South Carolina in the
Revolution says, ga more dis
tinguished body of men had never be-
fore, and never after, met in the State
of South Carolina, nor perhaps in any
State in the Union" This was the
first legislative session after the Re
volution and was a most important
body. Gen. McCrady gives full and
interesting account of it, also list
of the members. Mr.. Furman was
