Consul General Mason, OF Berlin,
gives an interesting word picture OF
the damage already caused or immi-
nent in Germany because of intense
heat and drought from which that en-
pire, aud particularly Prussia, has
suffered. Rain was lacking III May
and the weather was cool but dry
early in June. Following this came
four weeks of drought. with tempera-
lures of ninety to ninety-four degrees
in the shade in Berlin. The hay crop
was light, the winter. sown grin crop
showed lightly filled heads, though
grain was OF good quality, and the
spring sown crops ripened premature
]y. Serious apprehensious are felt as
to the potato crop, of which 80, 600, 600
tons were raised in 1901, that crop
meaning SO much more TO Germany
than to almost any other country, ow-
ing to its wide use in manufacturing
alcohol, starch, dextrine and large
variety of special food products.
The early crop was poor in yield and
quality, and the crop to be harvested
in October depends upon July and Au-
gust rains. Sugar beets baving long,
deep roots can stand drought better
than any other crop, and no serious
apprehension is felt. All in all, how
ever, the food value of the 1904 crop
promises to be much below the nor
NAL. Lack of rain likewise affect the
streams and canals which Germany
depends upon so much for the moving
of coarse freight like grain. coal
Io rt,1I
The effects of the drought are felt in
the fuel markets, grain cannot be
ground for -four freely, and water
power fol- generating electricity and
driving mills is at low ebb. There
would seem to be good opening for
American corn in Germany this year
if we have it to spare-and likewise for
lumber in all it's forms.

The South Carolina editors are not
following the advice given by John
Temple Graves in his address to the
Press Association at White Stone
LitIlia Springs last month, for many Of
them are running for Office of one kind

ion that no man can be really and tru
ly a great editor until he gives up the
hope and the desire of holding office,
and he is pretty nearly right, too.

G0VERNOR REWARDS sCATH-
ING COMMENT,

Seyeraor HeyWard said today he
mas amazed at the action of Coroner
RIrers, IN not binding over j. B.
Bennett for the killing Of his wife.
snotWi thsgnding the fact that the eoro-
nerss jury returned verdict that de-
ceased came TO her death by mis-
chsnce, for the criminal laws posi-
EsFely direct the coroner, under such
circumstances, to bind over the de-
fardanS to the Court Of General Ses-
sions, that the matter may be then
and there inquired into.
The euormity of the action Of the
coroner is further aggravated by the
fact, as published, that Bennett said at
xhe Investigation that he thought the
object he fred at was sheriff or a
constable, who had come to arrest
him, as though he had any right to
shoot such officers, especially when his
presence in the State was in direct
violation of the term of the pardon
granted by GoyernorS McSweeaey, and
in she face of a recent refusal on my
part TO allow him to return.
Governor Heyward adds that for
reasons OF policy be deems it inadyisa-
Bile now to advertise the details OF
such action, as he will take to appre-
hend the fugitive, but expresses his un-
qualified determination to exhaust
every resource at bis command to.thas
end.
Governor Heyward is as powerless as
q babe with any county officer, no
matter how he acts or what he does in
sach cases. County officers are re-
sponsible to the voters who ielecg them
and to the grand juries of the county,
unfortunately.
