WEATHER AND CROPS.
4 Very General Improvement in the
Cotton Crop.

Section Director Bauer Monday
issued the following report Of the croE
conditions for the past week:
The week ending s a. NJ, June 9Th
had mean temperature of IS degrees
which is practically normal. The eS'
tremes were max mum Of 50 al
Clark's Hill and Little Mountain or
the 4th, and a minimum or SO at
Greenville on the .3rd. The relative
humidity was about normal, ano
much higher than last week. The
winds were generally light to fresh
southerly. The sunshine was slightly
below normal.
The weeks rainfall averaged nearly
twice the normal amount, with a
maximum fall of 8 05 inches at Wal
halla. It was well distributed, but
was insufficient in parts of Charleston,
Chesterfield, Barnwell, Marion, New.
berry, Richland, Fairfield, Williams
burg and York counties where the
drought was only partially relieved.
In number Of localities the rainfall
was excessive and lands were badly
washed, damaging corn and cotton to
a slight extent. A few places report
the occurrences of damaging hail on
May 31St.
Although teamwork was interrupt
ed bv the heavy rains that rendered
cultivation impracticable, it is gen.
orally up with the needs Of field crops,
but with numerous reports OF grass
and weeds springing up rapidly since
the rains, especially in cotton fields,
Such reports originate in localities
where the rainfall was heaviest and
where the crops could not be worked.
Generally all feli crops are clean.
There was general improvement
noted in the growth and color OF corn.
Bottom lands and stubble fields have
been planted, and the late paintings
are coming up to very good STANDS.
Early corn has received its third cultl-
vation, and some has been laid by.
Stands of cotton have improved,
since the rains, on red and clay lands,
with late paintings and replantiDgs
all up to good stands. There is a gen.
eral improvement in color and looks
of cotton, extending to the sea-island
variety that was suffering seriously
from lack of moisture The weeks
growth was rapid, due to the more
favorable moisture and temperature
conditions. The whole crop is now
quite promising. Squares have been
noted in Colleton and Hampton coun-
ties; lice in Greenyille county.
The rains benefited both wheat
and oats; harvesting made slow pro-
gress. Rice is growing nicely, and
June sowiDgs have begun. Tobacco is
doing well, but is small, and it con-
tinues too dry in places. A large
number of sweet potato slips were
transp,anted. Truck shipments con-
tinue heavy, with generally poor yields
of white potatoes. Peach shipments
are increasing; the quality Of peaches
Is normal. Sugar care has poor stands.
Melons ara late but have improved,
as have pastures and gardens. All
miror crops are flourishing.

A PITCHED BATTLE
In Which Number Of Union Nike
Are Killed
AT THE TOWN OF DUNv111r, COL.
Soldiers Securing the Mountains, and
the Miners Firing Upon Them.
Intense Excitement in
Mining Region.

A pitched battle between the mill
tary and union miners was fought at
DunnVille, the new mining camp, 13
miles out OF Victor, Colorado, shortly
after o'clock p. u. Wednesday. John
Carley, a union miner, was killed and
FIVE others. The troops returned to
Victor at o'clock Wednesday Eight
bringing with them IA capti7es.
Before the special train left Victor
bearing the force under Gen. Bell it
was reported that the miners in the
hills about Dunnville numbered about
250 men, and that it was their inten-
tion to march into Victor Wednesday
night in body and attempt to libe-
rate by force the inmates OF the tenn
porary bull pen" in Victor. That
the force actually consisted OF but q
men Is the statement Of one Of the II
who were captured by the militia.
The train proceeded in the after
noon to the immediate vicinity OF
Dunnville without unusual incident.
When about a quarter Of a mile dis
tant from the Dunnville temporary
station the officers could see the camp
OF the miners. It included one cabin
and six or seven tents. The officers
left the train at the command Of Gen.
Bell and prepared to advance upon
the camp OF the unionis.s in regular:
skirmish order. As they emerged:
from the cut in which the train had
cone to a stop they were greeted with
volley Of shots, which came from
points Of vantage surrounding the
hills. -
The deputies returned the fire and
promiseuous shooting was INDUCED IN
for a period Of ten minutes. From
the character Of the shooting from
the hills Gen. Bell Immediately recog-
nized the fact that the strength Of
the miners had been greatly overesti-,
mated and that he had sufficient force
under his command to make an I'M
mediate roundup and capture the en-
tire opposing force.
The captured miners include John
James, charged with shoot1ng John
Davis in the riot at Victor. Among
the dead was John Carley, q union
miner OF Cripple Creek. Great excite
ment prevailed in this city upon the
receipt Of the news Of the battle
The deputies secured the arms ands
ammunition Of parts OF the miners
AS the special train bearing the
deputies drew up at Dunnville the
union miners, entrenched in the neigh
borhood, opened fire. Gen. Bell gotH
his men out and stormed the entfenchss
ment, capturing Is, the arms and am
munition being captured. In the
fierce fight which followed six union
miners were killed.
The miners occupy well entrenched
positions In the hills and are shooting
down at the soldiers and guards at
every opportunity. The surrounding
country is favorable to the miners,
and it seems that Gen. Bell will have
to take every defense separately.

and child were together, but they
were thrown in opposite directions
from the base Of the tree.

THE COTTON STALK WEEVIL.
Director Bauer Says the Matter Is
Much Overdrawn.

Ihe cotton stalk weevil," a new
insect which has made it's appearance
in Georgia and is almost as dangerous
as the boil Weevil, according to the
Augusta Chronicle, does net exist In
this State, so far as Section Director
Bauer is informed and believes. Mr.
Bauer Was shown this clipping from
the Augusta paper Friday:
"a new insect, known as the cotton
stalk weevil, has made its appearance
in Georgia and is raising havoc with
the young cotton in Terrell county.
State Entomologist Willmon Newell
has just returned from Dawson, where
be made thorough examination OF
the weevil and it's work, and he is now
arranging for a treatment OF the
cotton plants which have been at
tackled by the insect and for a remedy
that will completely destroy it.
The insect attacks the stem OF the
stalk Of the cotton and nearly every
plant attacked dies very shortly after
wards. The farmers in Terrell coun-
ty are very much alarmed over the
appearance Of the new kind Of bug.
Entomologist Newell states that he
has never seen OF heard Of such an in
sect before.
The bug is almost as dangerous as
the boil weevil, as it destroys the
stalks OF the cotton before the boil
Weevil appears. II the insect should
scatter over the State as fast as it is
scattering in Terrell county it will be
a serious thing for the farmers to con-
tend with this yeal, and the cotton cot
ton crop in Georgia will be materially
shortened.
''Entomologist Newell says he will
exert every effort to destroy the in
sect before it makes spread Of the
State. BE does not think that the boil
weevil has as yet made it's appearance
in Georgia, but be regards the new in
sect which has appeared and which at
tacks young cotton stalks as a very
dangerous factor and be is anxious to
get rid Of it as soon as possible" ]"
Mr.. Bauer thought after reading the
clipping that about the only thing
that could be calmly reported as haV-
ing been discovered was an excited i'm
agination of another Georgia news
paper reporter. he was Of the opinion
that the Georgia State entomologfst's
estimate of the importance Of the sub
ject had been very materially changed
and colored almost beyond identihca-
tion after percolating through the
brain at the newspaper man.
"Never heard of such an insect"
Mr.. Bauer said. There is none such
in this State, so far as l have been in
formed; and I don't believe 1t exists
in Georgia.
st will propably end like my new
hickory nut insect ended this week. a
correspondent in Charleston reported
the appearance there OF new insect
which be thought would eventually
put the hickory nut out OF business. l
wrote him to hold his :base while be
sent me up some specimens OF these
terrible pests. l forwarded them to
Clemson and have just received a for
NAL report from that institution to the
effect that our new insect was a very
old and very common insect indeed and
to dismiss any harassing fear or my
correspondent might have regarding
the future Of the hickory nut CROP"

that the Sheba Is now a demonstrated
success, ana points 10 the manner IN
which the first ore chute developed by
the new tunnel Is opening up. At the
last measurement, taken after drifting
over 30 feet, the vein measured nearly
seven feet between walls, and as TO
values, Mr. Wilson called attention 10
the fact that concentrates made at
the first run OF the mill were from ore
taken from the face Of the drift where
It Was six feet wide.
The face Of the new tunnel Is also
beginning to show mineral again and
Mr.. Wilson says he found samples or
the face which would run not far from
] 900 ounces to the ton. According 10
calculations made after measuring up
the ore bodies In the upper workings,
Il should not be necessary 10 run much
further In order TO encounter another
ore chute, while the hanging wall Is
still more than 100 feet ahead, None
the less interesting Is the fact that the
largest ore bodies have been developed
on the hanging wall side of the vein.
IN addition 10 the prosecution Of de-
velopments on the ore chute to the
north and the work in the face Of the
tunnel, a drift has now been started
south on the ore chute which will open
the vein in the direction Of the s hiatt
and viii develop the ore bodies along
assure which intersects the man
Sheba ledge 200 feet north OF the shaft
and Is known as the cross course
Considerable ore was developed in the
upper levels along this strata and II Is
thought that the opening up Of the same
az It's intersection with the ore chute
on which the drift Is being run VIII
bring sOme very good reeults.
