habfa recibido de manos de los mismos
republicanos, encontrandose al abrir

fenderse, pues habia centralizado en-

claro. No siendo optimistas. puede
juzgarse Ia situaci6n con calma, no
dej6ndose guar solo por inducciones,
pues 10 que SO necesita son hechos y
aetos que demuestren una parcialidad
absolute, Ia situaci6n es distinta. No
hacemos critica. 10 que hacemos es ma
rrar y dar al p1blico el conocimiento
de hechos Concretos.

Dear Sirs: Clothing is jusv <-paint.

goes out of fashion.
What do we wear clothes forp Did
you ever think Of iiP Different persons
have diffe ent reasons, no doubt. but ore
paints Devoe for beau y, to be in the
fashion, and keep out water.
Fashion says paint: we all paint
There is beauty in paint; we paint a
good deal for that. And briidings are
costly and fashionable; mt on a water
proof two or three coats of paint, and
your buildings last as long as you keep
them dry. It costs nothing to paint: il
costs your buildings not to.
Devoe is the paint that lasts: disapr
ppinting paints are the paints that cost.

Weekly &sop Bulletin.


The week ending 8 a. M, April
l1th, had . mean temperature of
about $50 Yhick' is nearly 80 below
normal, dud to she cool weather at
the beginnfDg and the close, and
warm duripgIhe middle of the week.
The lowest tSemperature along the
coast ranged from 400 at Charleston
to 3l0 at Conway, with an extreme
minimum fof the week of go at Lib.
erty, Pickens county. Thin ice was
noted generally. on the morning of
tue 4,h, and light to heavy to killing
f,ost on the 5th. The frost was
very damaging at places, killing. or
seriously irjuriug peaches, fig.
plums, corn and garden truck. La
many localities fruit e, capped serious
injury, and in the commercial peach
orchards of the ridge section, it is
estimated that three fourth of full
crop remains. Apples and cherries
suffered only slight injury, although
some correspondents report both de
stroyed. Corn and white po,atoao
were nipped, the latter killed in
places. The frost was not destruct-
i've in the commercial truck raising
districts. except to cucumbers that
will have to be rep|an'ed, and to
sirawbe: ries in the interior that were
left exposed. Timely frost warning
made II practicable to cover large
part of the strawberry crop. Rains
IL on the 9Th, 7th, 9Th and 9th, bur
the weeks rainfall was comparative
ly light, averaging less than quarter
Of an inch. Scattered localities had
amounts ranging from half to over
an inch. The rainfall was entirely
insufficient along the coast where
droughty conditions prevail, and ia
the Dcrth central counties whclc the
ground is becoming too hard TO plow
a general rain would prove very
beneficial.
Farmwork made rapid progress.
and the preparation of lands is we'll
advanced. Planting ope, a'ions were
confined largely to corn, rice and sea
island cotton, Though some upland
cotton has been planted in all parts
of the State. The soil is in excel
lent tilth, but the temperature has
been too low for favorable germina-
tion of cotton.
Corn planting is nearly finished
in the eastern half, and is well ad-
vanced in the western parts. Cn-
siderable is up to fairly coed stands
with exceptions where worms and
birds have been estluctive, necessi

Corn has received its first cultivation.
Rice planting made uninterrupted
progress. Lands have been prepar>
ed for tobacco, but none will be
transplanted until the moisture con-
ditions are more favorable. The
acreage will be much less than last
Year. Plants are plentiful in beds.
Wheat and oats continue to i'm
