that ex-Attorney General Knox pre-
sented his bill and received a fee Of
100000 as an attorney Of the Steel

The above advertisement, taken
from the columns Of The State. ex-
plains itself; it being very evident
that the birds are wanted for shoot
ing match, and it is against such a
cruel and useless sport, If it can be
called by such name, that the writer,
as he has done several times before
this wishes to enter an emphatic pro-
test. 1t is hard to conceive how any
one with the least spark Of humanity
in bis heart can inflict so much suffer.
ing Oh these beautiful and helpless
birds. Everything that partakes OF
cruelty is in itself brutalizing, and no
man can indulge in acts of this kind
and not become lower and more bru-
tai in his nature.
The man who has no computations
in regard to shedding, without cause,
the blood Of the lower creatures, will
not hesitate, under some supposed
provocation and provided he could do
so with impunity, to stain his hands
with the blood Of his fellowman; for
it is very certain that no noble or
generous impulse would restrain him
from the commission Of this crime.
Exhibitions OF this kind ought to
be against the law, but it is perfectly
possible to put stop to them by the
force OF public opinion. The cultured
and Christian people Of Spar5anburg
owe it to themselves to make a pro.
test against sport, or rather cruelty,
OF this kind and unless they take some
measures to express their diSapproba-
tion they cannot reasonably complain
if some Of the ooium attached to this
brutality is put upon them.
This is not, by any means, tie
writer's first protest against this So
called sport, and it won't be the last,
for he proposes to keep up the fight
against it until it is no longer in

The Indian, in his savage state, did
not hesitate to wear the scalp Of his
fallen enemy on his belt, but he never
tortured bird or beast; this particular
form Of cruelty having originated with
the cultured Anglo-Saxon.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
In Parts Of the State Practically
Everything Suffering Of Drought.

Very low temperatures during first
four days and rising temperature to
nearly normal warmth during the last
three. The extremes were a mini
mum Of 81 at Florence. Greenville
and Spartanburg on the 14th and 18th,
and a maximum Of 95 at Blackville on
the 18th. The relative humidity was
abnormally low until the 10Th, and
the winds were fresh to brisk easterly
until the last two days when they
shifted to southerly. The sunshine
exceeded the normal, but with gener-
ally cloudy weather on the 18th and
18th. The week was without rain, OF
with only very light, scattered show
ers, until the 18th, when showers set
in over the extreme west, and contin-
ued during the 10th, but confined to
the western aud southwestern coun-
ties, with maximum faal OF 2.44
inches at Spartanburg. gaer other
western counties had frons one-half
to one inch. In the othess- parts Of
the State the soil has agaA become
very dry, and in places the srought is
very severe, especially in PORTIONS Of
York county. In most Of the central
counties wells are failing and all but
the largest streams are dry, so that
water for domestic use and for cattle
is scarce.
The absence Of rain, and the DfiYnt
sunshine. and drying Win?s:3were "a
vorable for ridding fields of gsass and
weeds, and most fields are cSesan and
well cultivated. These. ccnditions
were also favorable for fniShieg wheat
and oats harvest, and for beginning
threshing, but the cool uaSsSts and
dry weather checked the groy:sh Of all
crops, particularly cotton, pastures
and gard: rs.
The condition OF corn Continues
promising, but it needs rain % nnost
sections as early corn is in tie tassel-
ling st,ge. Much of it hasSasen laid
by. Worns in the tops are damaging
the crop in one county. Roasting
ears are available nthe southernmost
portions.
Cool nights materially checked the
growth of cotton early in the week,
but higher temperatures at it: close
were more favorable. Lice i2fest
fields over practically the entire State.
AS rule the plants are smA but
thrifty, and fields are clean and well
cultivated. C)tton is fruiting well
on sandy lands, and occasional blooms
are repe. ted from the southern coun-
ties. Sea island cotton is doing well.
Tobacco continues promising, but
needs rain. Rice planting IS finished;
early rice has received its harvest
flooding. Melon vines are vigorous,
but late. It has been too dry to con-
tinue to plant sweet potato slips, and
stands of those set out previously are
generally poor. The commercial peach
crop is good, but in many localities
peaches and apples are dropping ex-
cessively. Pastures and gardens are
parched, and in need Of rain. Sowing
reas on stubble lands progressed SLOW

Contest for Seat in Legislature,

The election of G.. G. Kenoyer to
a seat in the legislature from the
eighth representative district will
probably be contested by T. A.
White, the democratic nominee, who
according to the official returns, was
eleven votes behind Kenoyer in the
race. Mr.. White was in Colfax
Monday from his home at St. John.
When asked if he intended to con-
test the election of Mr.. Kenoyer,
Mr.. White hesitated, and before he
had time to answer, H. w. Garfield,
a we'll known democratic politician
and attorney, who was with Mr.
White, said: eve have no state
ment to make at this time"
Wilbur S. Yearsley, chairman of
the democratic county central COM
mittee, was seen and asked if Mr..
White intends to make a contest.
Mr.. Yearsley said: His friends
are urging him to contest the cleo
ton, but l cannot say now what
will be done. Mr.. White is not in
town for that purpose today, how
ever" But from sources quite
close to Mr.. White and members of
the democratic executive committee
II is learned that a contest is more
than likely when the legislature
meets, and it is understood that Mr..
Garfield has been retained to rep
resent Mr.. White before the house
of representatives, to which his
friends claim he was elected.
The grounds for contest are that
in Palouse 40 votes were illegally
counted for G. c. Kenoyer. The
claim is that 40 republican ballots
which were marked with an x at
the head of the republican column
had also been marked with an x
after the name of J. O. Hankins,
one of the democratic nominees for
representative in that district.
1t is charged that the judge counted
each of these ballots as having voted
for Mr.. Hankins and Mr.. Kenoyer.
The law is quite plain on this sub
ject, according to the claims of Mr..
Whites friends, who say that IN
j a case of this kind the vote can be
counted for but one legislator, the
one marked with an x. 1t IS
claimed that at the time these votes
were counted protests were made
4 by democrats at Palouse, but that
these ballots, 40 in number, were
counted for Kenoyer and Hanklns.
II these are thrown out, Mr.. White
would have a plurality OF 20 over
I Kenoyer.
