Washington, Sept. 27.-Cotton in
creased rapidly in sections premature
ly in Georgia and Mississippi and
picking being pushed, but was delay
ed somewhat by rains in Florida, Mis-
sissippi, Oklahoma, and Texas. Scar
city Of pickers reported from localities
in central and eastern districts, re-

crop may be expected. The salient
points of statements from principal
cotton producing states are summar-
lied as follows: Georgia principal

rust and shed but those adverse condi-
tions are not so general as previously
reported Mississippi-open cotton ir-
jured in east by heavy rains AMI boil

southwest. Louisiana-worns, cater
pillars damaging, bolls weevils local
ly numerous. In one parish and
spreading in another, crop detoriated.
Arkansas-yery little shedding but
crop made only slight improvement.
Texas-little injury to the staple by

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Columbia, Sept 27.-The week end
ing 8 a. m., September 26, had mean
temperature of II degrees, which is
two degrees below the normal. The
deficiency was greatest in the interior
and was nearly normal along the coast.
The first two days were warm, but
the 22d, 23rd and 25th were consider
ably below normal. The extremes
were minimum of A degrees on
the 24th at .Greenville, and a maxi
mum of 95 at Kingstree on the 21st
and 22nd.
The precipitation occurred generally
on the 2ist and 23rd, and was light,
except on the coast from Charleston
southwark, where it was moderately
heavy. The week has been favorable
for farm work, and all kinds were
pushed as fast as possible.
Cotton is opening fast throughout
the state and picking is general, bat
in many parts Of the state pickers
are scarce. The crop will not be as
5ood as was expected earlier in the
season Rust is still doing some dam
age On light soils. Not much of the
top crop of cotton will mature on ac-
count of the cool, dry weather. Sea
Island cotton is in good condition and
being picked.
Corn is reported to be in good con-
dition generally Fodder is about all
pulled, and the harvesting of the crop
has begun in Darlington county with
good yield. Harvesting of corn Will
be begun in other sections next week.
Late corn was slightly damaged by the
cool, dry weather.
Rice is being harvested and thresh-
ed, but the yield is not as good as ex.
pected.
The weather has been favorable for
naying, and large amounts of hay and
pea vines have been housed in good
condition, Potatoes are generally
good. Gardens and fall crops are DO
ing we'll, but are badly in need of rain
in some sections. No small grain has

A Call to Democrats.

Nh. Editor: Sixteen hundred and
sixty two persons voted for the candi-
dates of their choice in the recent pri-
mary. Is it asking too much of the
voters that they cast 1852 votes for
the entire Democratic ticket on Nov.
9Th? To be able to do so, some OF
them will need to qualify. The regis
tration books will be open next Mon
day, Sd of October for enrolling all
qualified electors. Fellow democrats

ceipts, procure new registration GER

blood of '76 still courses through yuor

jority that the worst South hater OF

tion his election to the 18th Congress

lima!

the idea that the party primary settles
the election in South Carolina.
While the primary has, for the past
few years, settled the electi on in thi
State conditions are changing rapidly
and unless the Democrats are vigilant
they will awake some ine Gay to find
that the Republican voters, altho ugh
in minority, have carried the gen
eral election. We do not apprehend
such result this year, tut the condi-
tions are such that unless the Demo
Gratis of the Seventh District poll full
vote for Congressman Lever be will
be unseated by the Republicans in Con-
gress. This is their hope and expecta-
tion, and counting on the apathy of
the Democrats they will prepare a
great list of negroes who would have
voted for the Republican nominee save
for the South Carolina election law.
They do not expect to poll sufi-
cient vote to elect their candidate,
and the campaign they will make will
be solely for the purose of providing
basis for contest. If the Democrats
turn out to a man and vote for Mr..
Lever, the Republicans will have no
grounds for contest and the showing
that they will make will give the
Republicans in Congress no excuse for
unseating our representative. Demo
crats who voted in the primary but are
still unregistered should register OH
Monday next. We want and need
full vote and every Democrat should
do his duty on election day.

The belief is gaining ground that
the present cotton crop will prove to be
the most valuable ever grown, al
though not the largest. The world is
using more cotton than ever before
and the crops of the past few years
have not been equal to the needs OF
the world. The South has practically
monopoly Of cotton production and
is st last in position to have voice
in fixing the price. The south should
prosper as never before and will-pro-
vided our people do not go cotton
crazy and neglect the food crops and
other products that are the backbone
of the South.

Gov. Heyward occupies q position
that is above criticism in declining

sag a sheriff not to carry prisoner to

bility of lynching. The responsible

own discretion. He alone is response
BILE for the safety Of his prisoners

J0og3 faIheT has lsSuSu UIs AoiAios
letter of acceptance of the Democratic
nomination for president. It is quite
lengthy, as of necessity it must be
to discuss the issues of the campaign
of which he is the leader. It is,
however, less than half as long as the
acceptance of President Roosevelt. 1t
discusses the important questions that
this campaign brings before the peo-
pie for settlement In clear cut de-
cided and concise manner. He states
his personal opinion and his reasons
therefor, on the money question, i'm
pefialism, tariff, reciprocity trusts,
trust remedies the Philippines, Amer
lean citizenship, civil service, national
irrigation, the Panama Canal, Ameri-
can shipping interests, corruption in
Government departments, the army
and navy, pension, foreign relations
and reform in government expendi-
lures, and his position on each and
every question is Democratic and in
full accord with the principles as laid
down by the greatest American states
men who were democratic in faith and
practice. In conclusion he says:
I haze put aside congenial work,
to which / had expected to devote my
life, in order to assume, as best I
can, the responsibilities your conven-
tion put upon me- solicit the cor

Cotton may go higher later in the
season, some cotton experts claim to
think so at any rate, but ter. to ten
and half cents for cotton just out Of
the fields is a good price and should
satisfy the majority of the farmers.
We know that tbe current price will
be of more benefit to the average far
mer and the South as whole than
twice that price after January 1st. A
large percentage of the cotton pro-
ducers must sell their crop as rapidly
as it is ginned to meet obligations
maturing in September and October,
and if they realize ten cents for the
bulk of the crop they will be in pos
ition to hold few bales for higher
prices, if they care to speculate.
