CROPS OVER IN CAROLINA.
They Range from Good to Very Poor
Throughout the State.

THROUGHOUT the STATE
Columbia, S. c., May 17.-Ths
weather, crop and climate bulletin for
South Carolina, issued to-day, says:
THE rainfall deficiency continues in
prevailing except in the extreme
northwestern and limited localities in
the central and northeastern counties
where heavy showers occurred. The
weeks rainfall ranged from none to
O.64 inch; the normal is 0.90 inch.
Since the beginning Of the crop season
the accumulated deficiency ranges
from four to seven inches. The drought
has become serious in the coast re.
gions. In the upper Savannah valley
and in the Sand Hill region wells are
falling and water courses are dry.
Stands of corn range from good to
very poor, the latter caused mainly by
the ravages of worms and BIRDS al.
though in places poor termination
from lack of moisture, is the cause,
Growth is generally slow, although
with exceptions, it has now a good
color, and, under thorough cultivation
a general improvement has taken
place. Fields are remarkably free from
weeds and grass.
Cotton stands range from good to
very poor Cne FORMER on sandy lands,
the latter on clay and red lands. Some
late paintings are not yet up, especial
~ in the dryest sections. Replanting
continues, particularly of early cotton,
which makes the stands of that por-
ton of the crop broken and irregular.
An Improvement in condition is noted
where the rainfall was heaviest, and
deterioration where it was light, OF
where none fell. The nights have been
too cool for rapid growth, and plants
are dying in the southern counties. Sea
island cotton is suffering for rain.
Tobacco is being worked, but its
growth is slow.
Rice is doing well in the George.
town districts, but in the southerly
districts freshet water is needed for
flooding, as the rivers have become
brackish. Planting continues.
Wheat has improved and is prom
ising in the western parts, but is very
poor in the central counties. Oats
vary in condition directly as the rain
fall. In the droughty regions the straw
is short, too short to cut. Spring oats
are poor. Harvest has begun in the
southern parts.
Peaches have undergone no change;
apple and pear trees are blighting.
Stands of melons are poor, except in
Barnwen county. Truck yields have
been reduced one-half, by drought, in
the coast regions; in the interior ths
conditions are more favorable.

forecast, which showed relief in the
drought-stricken districts by good
rains which practically insures sue
cess for the present crop The con-
ditions, or rather the general belief in
comparatively favorable condition of
new cotton crop is the predominating
feature in the markets of the world.
The season is now we'll advanced and
chances are very slim for a great set
back, such as killing frost, which rare
ly comes so late in the year. and from
now on gradual improvement in the
situation will no doubt be chronicled
from day to day with the growing be-
lief in the bumpercrop. Under the cir
cumstances, we look for further de-
cline, at least until after the first gov

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, May 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened steady at unchanged prices,
10 an advance of points. This was a
very poor response to better cables
than expected. but It looked as though
rather more favorable weather condi-
lions were encouraging liquidation.
There was a comparatively little de-
mand and no sign of support from any
quarter, and soon after the opening.

WARE ~ LELAND.
Advise Buying of October on Any
Good Break.

New York. May 1.-THE market to-
day acted just like it did last Tues
day. Always sells off after the re-
port, no matter what kind of a re-
port it is In addition to the usual
tendency on the weekly report, there
were rains in the Atlantic states. We
have been waiting for rains for some
time and regarded the decline as out
of the question as long as drought re-
ports continued. But now 1t looks as
though good rains would be had this
week. Showers started yesterday:
some rains fell last night, and general
rains were predicted for tomorrow.
This takes away the prime factor on
the buying side, and We are not as in
clined to look for an advance as before.
on a good break in October we would
be inclined to buy moderately. 1t will
require the best kind of weather to
depress the market very much.

NEW YORK, July IL. - "Clark-La
Chappelle = On May 25. 1901. at Mar
seilles, France, w. A Clark to Anna f.
La Chappelle. both of Butte. Montana" I"
In this announcement the public is
apprised of the marriage of United
States Senator William A. Clark 10
Miss Anna E. La Chappelle, the cul-
mination of a romance that began
about nine years ago. Tardy. is the an
nouncement. it is true, for three years
have elapsed since in MarseiIIes, France,
the ceremony was performed that made
the handsome child of the Western
mining fields the bride of the many
times millionaire and United States
Senator. With the announcement of the
marriage comes the tidings that it has
been blessed by the birth of girl,
now quite two years old.
Senator Clark informed his daugh-
ters, Mrs. Clark Culver and Mrs. Lewis
Rutherford Norris, of his marriage
shortly after his arrival from the Eu-
ropean steamship Teutonic on June 80.
He was then on his way to st. Louis
to take part in the convention pro-
ceedings. The daughters were much
surprised when he made known the
secret that he had kept so well for
three years. The surprise was particu-
larly keen because they had never OBJ
jected to their father remarrying.

E. La Chappelle.
Senator Clark learned that La
Chappelle, the father of the girl, was
a French-Canadian physician who,
with his wife and family, had turned
I to the United States and its Western
field for livelihood.
La Chappelle died suddenly in Chi

ward soon afterward and provided her
with opportunities for such tuition as
he considered she should have.
Mrs. Clark is at present in Paris.
