The Field of Politics
No Tariff Revision.


The Hon. Serene E. Payne has Off
cially declared that there will be no
revision of the tariff at the forthcoming
session of Congress, and the Hon. Serene
E. Payne ought to know If any one

some of the schedules may be lowered,

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Report OF Station Director Bauer At
Columbia on Them.-

Station Director J. w. Bauer has
issued the following crop report for
the week ending September %:
The week ending s A. Nj. Monday,
September 2l, had mean tempera-
ture OF 20 degrees, which is about )
degrees below normal. The night
temperatures fell TO about 30 degrees
in the northwestern counties during
the latter part of the week. There
was much cloudineSS early in the
week, while the closing days were gen
orally clear. The prevailing winds
were fresh to brisk, eastcrly.
General rains occurred early in the
week. They were comparatively light
over the western half OF the State
and heavy to excessive over the
eastern half, the amounts ranging
from less than an inch in the western
to over : Inches in the eastern pur-
tion. The average for the State was
3. SO inches.
The rains relieved the d!ought and
put the ground in good condition for
fall ploughing, and benefited late corn
and late cotton SOmewhat; also peas
and sweet potatoes, and started new
growth of pastures, but interfered
with farm work, particularly haying
and rice harvest. SCme lOwland rice
fields were Hooded, causing consider
able damage to rice i'm stacks. Rice
harvest made rapid progress where the
fields were in tit condition.
Late corn improved slightly after
the rains, but the weather was too
cool for its rapid development. Fod-
der pulling is active in tie extreme
west.
Premature opening Of cotton was
checked 10y the rains and cooler
weather, but much Of the open cotton
was stained and some SpTOutcd in the
hOllS. y Rust continues To spread i'm
the western counties. CaterpillarS
are doing damage over limited iocali-
ties. Fruiting has practically ceased
and there is poor prospect for top
crop. Sea island cotton continues
dwarfcdjand has blight in spots, and
it is frpitinR slowly. Cotton picking
was delayed by the rainy weather
early in the week, but again became
active at the close Of the week. In
places in the eastern counties picking
is nearly half finished, while i'm the
western counties it has only begun.
llaying was delayed by the rains
and some mOwn hay damaged. The
hay crop is poor in places and is very
heavy in other sections. Peas have
improved. Poor stands of turnipS
have been secured. The weather was
Ideal for strawberry plants. 1t was
too cool for truck TO come up rapidly.
Some oats, rye and barley have been
shown.

young married couple hailing from
the everlasting hills of North Carolina
where the candle light yet holds sway

meath the rocks and boulders, narrow
ly escaped asphyxiation at the Spar
tan Inn at an early hour Wednesday
morning. But for the acute nostrils
OF Night Clerk Goodlett the coroner
might have had job Thursday, and
what seemed to all to be a honey
moon to have ended in a double
tragedy.
Between the hours OF and Thurs
day morning Mr.. Goodlett scented
escaping gas about the hotel. He at
first paid but little attention to the
smell, thinking it was probably issu-
ing from a broken pipe in the street
or defective meter In the building.
AS time passed the gas increased aud
e''S S'''Ni' cSSth1S 1De
night clerk went out to seek the orr
gin of the trouble and found that the
escaping gas had permeated the entire
building, but as yet it had not reached
anything like dangerous stage, be-
ing only bit nauseating.
The clerk went to the Office, secured
to the room. The key worked and
the door was opened, aud upon the
bed in slumber that was fast deepen
ing with the gas lay the young bride
and groom. They were aroused with
some effort and informed OF their
peril. There were no ceremonies and
formalitieS were dispendsed with. The
jet was examined and was found to
be turnee on full tilt. The groom de-
MED having blown out the gas, but
the evidence was against him.
The couple went TO the theatre and
returned to the hotel at about IL
o'clock. But for the transom being
open IL is not likely that their danger
would have become known before
morning. Besides slight headache
they were not affected. They regis
tered from North Carolina. Their
names are withheld for fear the gold
brick or green goods people will get
after them.

A FIENDISH CRIME.
A Buggy Blown UP With Dynamite
and Man Killed.

One OF the most tiendish and blood
thirsty murders and robberies in the
history OF Washington county, Pa.
occurred Friday afternoon on the Mid
dletown road, about Is miles from
Washington Pa. Samuel L. Fergu-
son OF the Ferguson Construction
company Of Pittsburg, was instantly
killed aud his secretary, Charles Mar
tin of Cincinnati, was fatally Injured.
The two men were driving along
the road In buggy, carrying 80, 800
in cash with which to pay Off some of
their men employed on construction
work along the line OF the Wabash
railroad, when suddenly an explosion
of dynamite in the roadway literally
tore the rig to pieces, killing Fergu-
son outright and throwing Martin 200
feet, tearing his left arm almost from
the socket. 1t has been learned that
two men supposed to be Poles placed
the dynamite in the road for the
purpose OF killing Paymaster Fer
guSOn and had arranged TO explode it
by means Of an electric battery. The
Satchel containing the money is miss
ing.
Two suspects are under arrest in the
camp Of the construction company
near the village, but the farmers Of
the section, who are securing tie
county for traces OF the murderers,
believe they have one or them i

A Lot Of French Canadians to Settle
Near Summerv lie.
A PIONEER BAND HAS ARRIVED,

The News and Courier, OF Thursday,
says Mr.. l.. Scott Allen, who is con-
nected with the land and Industrial
department OF the Southern Railway,
with headquarters in Washinpto ton,
arrived i'm Charleston Wednesday
morning and Immediately afterwal ds
went up to Summerville. Wednesday
night he returned to the city and Is
located at the st. John Hotel. His
visit to this section Is in the interest
OF colony OF French Canadians
which Is TO be established on the line
of the Southern Railway near Sum-
inerville, and all OF this is direct re-
suit from visit paid by a number OF
French Canadians last Nay.
1t will be recalled that early In the
spring party right from the manu-
featuring districts Of Massachusetts,
visited Charleston under the chaperon-
age OF Mr.. Allen, and inspected the
lands here and at Summerville. They
seemed much pleased with conditions
and prospects and indicated that they
would consider the advisability of
bringing large number Of their coun-
trymen, French Canadians, then
working in the mills, to the Sunny
South, where they could once more
engage In agricultural pursuits as
they desired
The first OF the colonists have ar
rived, the contingent numbe ing two
families, 10 persons In all. The site
OF the colony is about mile and a
half out Of town and Civil Engineer
Hale OF the Southern railway put his
services at the disposal Of the colon
lists in running the lines for the fences
and houses. The contingent is Just
in advance corps OF the many people
who will arrive here next month and
in November from Canada and New
England.
The Southern railway land agents
have arranged to bring large numbers
OF Canadians south, to settle at vari-
Gus points In South Carolina and the
Summerville colony will be one of the
largest and most encouraging. Land
Agent Scott Allen of the Southern
has the particular colony in charge,
accompanying the pioneers, and will
be here for several days assisting them
In. their settlement. The Canadians
are all fine class OF people and their
arrival in Summerville means a big
thing for the town and vicinity. The
Canadians will engage extensively IN
farming and raising cattle. They will
build their own schools and churches
and the colony will be a settlement of
some proportions and Importance.
