PALMETTO CROP BULLETIN
a Favorable Week for Cultivation, bu.
Too Dry for Growth.

The week ending a. M, May Goth,
had a mean temperature Of Z degrees
which is above normal, due to higher
day and night temperatures. The aN-
tremes were maximum Of 96 at
Blackville on the 2Sth, and a minimum
of 50 at Greenville on the Gath. There
was an excess of bright sunshine, and
the winds were generally light to fresh
and westerly during the first. part,
southerly during the middle, and east
erly at the close Of the week. The
relative humidity was exceedingly low
during.the greater part.
Light rains occurred on the 9th over
the eastern parts, amounting to
slightly more than trace at few
places only, and copious showers dur
ing the night OF the 29th In Lexington,
Edgefield, Saluda, Laurens, Union and
Spartanburg counties. the amounts
ranging from trace to over an inch.
This rain occurred after the correspon-
dents reports had been mailed, and
will materially improve the conditions
set, forth by them. The drought is un-
relieved over the rest Of the State. One
correspondent reports the reeordss5aVe
seen kept. In laces#s1ls hav
failed, and stleamsIave dried; in most
places the~e1ects of the drought are
naaRgT to the various crops which are
suffering severely.
Farm work made uninterrupted prog
9ass with cultivation active and
Thorough, and all field crops clean OF
grass and weeds.
Except in the driest sections where
corn has become withered and yellow,
there is an improvement in its condi-
tior, although it continues small fof
the season. Laye paintings and re-
paintings have not come up to stands,
while worms continue destructive, and
stands are broken as q rule, although
good stand reports are more numerous
than heretofore. Old corn has received
it's second cultivation.
The hot weather caused noticeable
Improvement in the color and growth
Of cotton, but the continued dry wealth
er has ben detrimental by preventing
it's coming up on clay and red lands
both first and replantings. The
plants are small for the season. Chop
ping has been finished in many places.
Cultivation has been thorough, and
fields are remarkably clean. Sea ISL
and cotton is in poor condition on ac-
count Of the severe drought that pre-
walls along the coast.
Oats are ripening IN all sections and
harvest is well under way. The crop is
good in few places, fair in many, and
failure in some. Wheat is an average
crop; some has been cut. Peach ship
ments arel light, but increasing. Fruits
are plentiful in most sections; berries
need rain to ripen them. Pastures, gar
deus and truck generally are badly
parched. Melons are backward. The
ground is too dry to set sweet potato
slips.

Mauoral priuilene.

A curious privilege attaches 70 the
office of mayor of Limerick. From
time immemorial the mayor has
claimed the right to a quarter OF a
ton of coal out Of every cargo import
ed into the town. The coal merchants
recently objected to paying this trib-
ute, and test case w1s taken to the
local quarter sessions. The magis-
trates decided in favor of the mayor.
That official receives over 100 tons of
coal from this source every year and
distributes it among the poor of the
town, although there is no legal rea-
son why he should not use it for his
own private purposes.
