Truce Is Confirmed.

The statements made in these dis.
patches several days ago that the rev.
olutionaries bad announced a truce
pending the decision of the government
on the question of convoking sort of
elective national assent by TO pass up
on the zemstvo program Is confirmed
from several quarters and fear Is ex-
pressed that if the whole zemstvo pro-
gran, is rejected there may be reviv-
al of the old terroristic duel.
The reactionists and bureaucrats
profess TO see no danger in the present
situation, declaring their belief that
the agitation provoked by the Gems
tvoists will soon sink out of sight and
affairs resume their normal sway, If
concessions are made, they say, they
Will be slight and mean little.
Prince Syiapolk Mirsky himself, al
though for different reasons, is repre-
scented as also opposed to the radical
departure of liberal regime. Accord
ing to his opinion it must come grad
ually and without shock. In this re-
spect his opinion is shared 10y many
liberals who believe that concessions
in the right direction must inevitably
lead to a full realization of their hopes.
Others believe that the real crisis will
be postponed TO the end of the war.

Tbe poetic Temperan, emit.

A recent book published in Munich
called, "Ulrika Won Leye zow and Her
Recollections of Goethe" shows us
Goethe at the age of seventy-four,
possessing still 4 youths capacity for
emotion. which Eckermann refers to
as "a fresh riracity Of heart" 1t
was for the seventeen-year-old Ul-
rika. says Harper's Weekly, that
Goethe wrote the impasSioned "Elegy
OF Marienbad." poem compact of
stress and intensity, having, says Eek
ermann. something immediate about
it as Of a single jet of feeling"
Glrika denies that she was, at the
age Oh seventeen, sentimental Char
lotte and Goethe an aged Werther.
She tells very ingenuously Of being
called from her embroidery one day
by her grandmother 10 meet an old
gentleman. Unaware OF his name and
his celebrity, she met him with the
utmost unconcern and Indifference.
1t WAS doubtless this ingenuousness
coupled with childlike and charming
appearance which won the poets
heart The acquaintance ripened Gin
to friendship and into deep devotion
on the poets side. The two. took long
daily walks together" Goethe, in his
mineralogical excursions, has found an
'immortal violet" writes contem-
pnrary. 'He is distractedly in love

a GOOD THING TO DO.

1t is a good idea to spend good
deal of time among the chickens in the
different breeding yards, for in this
way only can q fancier become famil-
lar with all his chickens and their ma
lures. What farmer would keep q fe-
male for breeding purposes after he
has discovered that she is barren, and
what careful breeder Of poultry will
keep a hen that does not lay or that
lays only few eggs. In the first in
stance the hog would be fattened and
sent to the slaughter house, and in the
second instance the specirlcn could
be roasted and served with oyster
dressing to appreciative invited guests
or even to the family. ,.

Evscuates New Chwana.

st. Petersburg, BY Cable.-Colonel
.Novitsky, Of the general staff, in an in
teryiew said:
"The result of the loss of Kai Chou
will probably be the evacuation of
New Chwang. General Kuropatkin's
position is more difficult than that
which confronted Lord Roberts in
South Africa. 1t is as il Lord Roberts
received his supplies by rail via Con-
stantinople, Cairo and Central Africa.
1t will be long time before General
kuropatkin will have enough supplies
and men to assume the offensive. In
the meantime he will have to fight rear
guard actions. perhaps giving up i'm
portant positions, like New Chwang,
which are of vastly more consequence
than Kai Chou"

PALMETTO CROP BULLETIN
Conditions for the Growth Of Crops
Have Been Favorable:

The week ending s a: M, July 18th,
had mean temperature Of 81 degrees
which is about above normal, due
to very even night temperatures and
moderately hot days. The extremes
were a minimum of 81 at Greenville on
the 5th, and maximum of SO ct
Blackviile and Yemassee on the 7th.
There were several local high winds
accompanying thunder storms, most
damaging in part of Sumter county
The relative humidity was above nor
nal along the coast, and normal, or
below, in the interior The sunshine
was generally deficient
There were frequent thunder storms
In the central and northeastern coun-
Ties throughout the week. and over the
extreme northwestern ones during the
closing days, with practically no rlin,
CT widely scattered light showers, in
the Savannah valley from Anderson
county southwark to Hampton. The
weekly amounts ranged from trace"
to over three inches Over the great
er portion Of the State the rainfall was
ample for all crops, and in parts of
Chesterfield, Darlington and Marlboro
counties it was excessive to an injuri-
Gus extent. The moisture deficiency
appears to be most injurious in Green
wood Saluda, .Barnwell and Hampton
counties, with many other localities
that are suffering. Additional reports
indicate that the hail storm Of the End
in Marion and York counties was more
destructive tllan at first indicated.
There were numerous hail storms on
the 7th, but they we're destructive over
very small, widely separated areas
only.
The week was generally favorable for
farm work and for laying by crops, ex-
cept in the counties named as having
had excessive rains. AS rule crops
continue clean and we'll cultivated,
though some places report grassy and
weedy fields.
In many parts of the State corn is
sfiring" owing to insufficient moisture,
but where rains occurred the corn crop
continues very promising, especially
young corn on bottom lands.
The majority of the reports on cot
ton indicate further improvement, but
some deterioration is noted due to both
I lack of moisture and excessive moist
ure, causing the plants to yellow, shed
their foliage and squares. Insects that
puncture squares and young bolls have
been noted in Greenville and Pickens
counties. by some thought to be boil
worms, by others to be boil weeyils.
The plants are blooming freely IN
places and bolls have been noted in
few localities. Sandy land cotton is
better than that on clay soils, the lat
ter being unseasonably small. Sea ISL
and cotton has good color and growth
and is blooming freely.
Tobacco is very promising, with Sc
Iecting and curing making fair prog
ress. The rains were very beneficial
! TO rice. Melons are ripening generally
and shipments are heavy. Stock wa
ter still scarce in places. Fruit Is
scarce in the eastern counties and plen>
tiful in the western ones. j. W. Bauer,
Section Director.

A Hint ON WEDDING.

The earth is seemingly able to pro.
duce weeds OF grass, whether fertile
or poor, ind they always appear at
the SAM? time, when the crops need
the most care. Weeds are beneficial
to certain extent, although injuri-
Gus, for the gardener is o1ten COM
PEELED to eradicate them when he
would .ot otherwis givS the garden
lis attention. By so doing he keeps
the soil in fine, friable condition Tor
the desired crop. Weeds, however,
should be removed as soon as they ap-
pear; by so doing the work can be
more easily done, and the stirring Of
the soil will then only be required to
q moderate depth. =.
