Fine Fruit Exhibit.

Clemson College, Specialize the
upcountrymen especially, but to all
South Carolina farmers ,one Of the
most encouraging exhibits made at
Clemson College this year is that
made by Prof. C. C. Newman Of the
department of horticulture. He has
made an exhibit of grapes, peaches,
apples, Irish potatoes and onions.
OF grapes the exhibit is intended to
show the methods of culture and va
rieties that may be grown successfully
in Sotuh Carolina. Prof. Newman
shows 81 varieties Of grapes, all
grown on the college farm and all de-
veloped to the highest degree. In
color, size and flavor the grapes are
excellent and what has been done at
Clemson Prof. Newman thinks can be
done throughout South Carolina, prob
ably more successfully in the low
country and middle South Carolina
than in the Piedmont. But the prod
uct Of the Piedmont as shown by this
exhibit will compare favorably with
grapes from any part Of the world.

Telegraphic Briefs.

1t is pleasant to learn that the China
men are discarding their queues and
the BARRIERS in some cities are doing a
good business removing them. 1t is a
singular fact that the queue, once
symbol of salvation, became step by
step a mark of dignity and patriotism.
But there has arisen society, known
IS the Bow Wong Woy, which has be-
come very active in instrlcung the
Chinese in their own history, and the
removal of thousands of queues is the
result. The wearing of queues has
ctten been cited as an evidence that the
Chinese refuse to become American

style they look very much like other

mass of steel was carried to the flats

S0UTa CAROLINA CROPS
Report on Conditions by the Depart
nnent of Agriculture.

1
The week ending 8 a. m, August
Is, had a mean temperature Of II
degrees, which is about three below
normal. The extremes for the week
were a minimum of SO at Greenville
on the 9th and maximum Of 90 at
J Blackville on the 18th. The first
five days were generally cloudy, the
last two generally clear. There were
local high winds accompanying thun-
derstorms that did slight damage to
corn principally.
There were almost daily rains from
the Sth to the 18th, and less frequent
showers on the last two days. The
precipitation was evenly distributed
throughout the State, but was not as
heavy as during the previous week,
but the ground continued thoroughly
saturated, and the injury to crops was
aggravated by the cloudy weather,
and very high relative humidity that
prevailed. Some bottom lands were
overfowed and the crops on them de-
stroyed. The injury from the rains
was confined largely to cotton on san
| dy lands.
The early corn was not affected by
the wet weather except that fodder
pulling was hindered and some fodder
that was pulled was damaged; late
fcorn continued its recent rapid i'm
provement and has reached a stage
Of growth which assures it to be
good crop, regardless Of subsequent
weather conditions.
A few localities in the south Gen.
trail and southeastern parts report no
injury from the rain to cotton, but
over the greater part it has grown
too much weed and Is not fruiting
correspondingly, on clay and red lands
while on sandy lands it has turned
yellow and continues to shed exten-
sively, with rust more prevalent than
last week. A few open bolls have
been noted in the southeastern coun-
ties, and a first bale" was marketed
on the 18th, although that is not indi-
cative that picking has begun.
Tobacco curing is nearly finished:
uncut tobacco Is making new and
damaging growth; some injury to the
leaf by the damp weather, tobacco
in barns. Rice made substantial i'm.
provement, but is ripening slowly.
Peas are growing nicely. Late mel
ons are watery. Late peaches are
rotting extensively. Pastures, gar.
dens and minor crops are doing well,
but need more sunshine. The condi-
tions were favorable for fall truck
planting and germination.-J. W.

Russians From Violating Her Neu-
trality by Making Repairs on the
A kold and the Grosovoi, the Japa-
nese Take the Bull by the Horns.

Shanghai, By Cable.-Shanghai was
thrown into fever Of excitement Sun
day afternoon by the arrival Of Japa-
nese torpedo boat She passed the
Wocsung at full speed and started up
the river at Iu for Shanghai. The
United States torpedo destroyer
Cbauncey. slipped her cable and fol-
lowed the Japanese destroyer. The
japanese boat was cleared for action.
She anchored off the Cosmopolitan
dock, where the Russian cruised Askold
IS undergoing repairs.
The taotai has notified American
Consul Goodnow, who is the dean Of
the consular body, that China cannot
protect the foreign settlements. He
contends that Russia ignores the or
ders issued by China, and that China
mas not the means of making her obey
them.
Consul Goodnow called meeting Of
the consular body to take joint action
for the protection of foreign inhabi-
tants. The Askold has docked adjacent
to the warehouses here of the Stanard
Oil Company, which are valued at over
81 900 000 The Standard Oil Company
has demanded protection for its prop
erty from Consul Goodnow. The dock
where the Askold lies is owned by Brit
ish interests. Inside this dock is Ger
man and Dutch property, and on the
other side American property.
There are eight American, one Ger
man, two British and four French war
ships here.
SURPRISE CREATED IN LONDON.
London. By Cable-The interven-
ton of the American squadron at
Shanghai in the japanese operations
against the Russian cruiser Askold,
created considerable surprise in official
circles here. An official of the lega-
ton said: IF the report is not untrue,
the American commander must have
had good reason for his action, such as
the protection of American interests,
which would have been endangered by
flying shells.
Japan has been very reluctant to
send ships into the harbor, for she rec
osnized the international character OF
Shanghai. and the laws of neutrality
demanded that China should order the
Askold and the Grozovi to dismantle
cr leave the port, she having given
the order and the Russian ships hav-
ing refused, it was then incumbent for
Japan to act, thereby protecting the
Chinese neutrality and at the same
time exerting her rights as a belliger-
ent 1t would never have done to per-
nit Russian ships to remain in a Chi
nese port deliberately and avowedly
violating the neutrality Of the country.
Whatever reason actuated the Ameri-
can commander, if he really did as re-
rorted. it is certain that no complica-
tions will follow"

torpedo boat destroyer Grozovoi has
been ordered to stop repairing and
either to leave this harbor at once or
to disarm. The Russian cruiser Ask
old must leave here Monday at noon.
These orders were issued by the tao
