Condition or Cotton.
The following is Section Director
Bauer's weekly crop bulletin:
Tie week ending a. m., August
22d, had a mean temperature Of 80
degrees, which is also the norma! for
the week; there was Slight deficiency
IN temperature on the coast. The
extremes we're minimum of SO at
Batesburg on the 18th, and maximum
OF 90 at Batesburg, Blackvlle and
Bowman OH several dates. The sun.
shine averaged about 65 per centum
OF the possible and was very beneficial
after the recent cloudy weather. Hail
and high winds did considerable dam
age locally on the 18th, from Aiken
county westward to OcOnee, and in
Williamsburg; also in Georgetown Oh
the 10Th.
There were quite general showers
mostly In the form Of thunderstorms
on the 18th and l9th, with heavy rain
locally in nearly every part OF the
State, and there were occasional light
showers on other dates except the last
two OF the week, which were practical
ly without rain. Lands and crops
were damaged in few places, but
generally this weeks precipitation
was not unfavorable, although week
OF dry weather would prove beneficial.
The average precipitation was below
normal, with, however, excessive
amounts In localities scattered over the
whole State.
The general condition of corn is
slightly better than heretofore, and
the weather enabled considera BILE fod.
der to be saved from old corn; all
reports on young corn continue favor
able SO that a good crop is practically
assured.
There Is no material change In the
average condition Of cotton, for while
on sandy lands it continues to shed
excessively and rust is spreading. the
plants are turning yellow and are dy-
ing in places, and In many places have
ceased to fruit, on red lands there is
marked Improvement in fruitage
and growth, though the weed is too
large on clay lands generally and some
fields have become foul, and while the
bottom crop is light, the middle crop
Is heavy. Bolls have begun to open
in the southeastern counties and some
cotton mas been picked, but picking
Will not be general in those sections
until about September lst. Sea- island
cotton Is blooming profuSely and is
well fruited.
Tobacco curing is practically finish

HANGED FoR MURDER.
Death Penalty Enforced Friday ON
Negro in Piokens.

The Plckens correspondent OF The
State says Henry Jones, the negro
murderer Of Constable Columbus
Jones, who was hanged Friday went
upon the death trap few minutes
after IL O'Clock, and before the plac.
Ing or the death cap upon the doomed
man the usual opportunity was given
him to make a statement.
Jones avOwed his readiness for
heaven and beseeched everybody to
meet him up there. He warned his
race against the possession and use OF
fire arms. Fully 1900 people, outside
the walls of the building, listened
with bated breath at the last words
of the man soon to be hurled into
eternity. At the conclusion of his
confession he chose to pray, and hav-
ing prayed for some time, and SEEM
ingly drawing to conclusion, Sheriff
Mcdaniel descended the steps, one Of
which, as the sheriff stepped upon it,
sprung the death trap, and in the

the vast crowd that assembled at the
jail there were not more than so ne

Sheriff Mcdaniel and the people Of
Pickens generally feel relieved that
the execution is over aid not the
slightest trouble arose, although
some threats had been made by the
negroes in the past few days. Sheriff
Mcdaniel did not take them seriously,
though he took the pr, caution to
telegraph the governor Tuesday for a
company Of State militia. TLis was
not thought necessary by the COVER
nor, who instead requested the sheriff
to deputize enough trusty men to see
that the law was carried out.
1t has been authoritatively learned

company in Greenviile Friday night
remained in their armory ready to
move at moments notice and could
have been transported to Pickens In

Cotton Is King.

1t is said that probably never since
the Civil War has there been such Suf-
ferlng as now exists in Old England
and New England among cotton
operatives and manufacturers. The
New Orleans Picayune says: ''There
have been many years when English
spinners have reaped great profits
from the low price Of American cot
ton, while at the same time Ameri-
can producers who had the cotton to
sell were driven to desperation. Now
the boot Is on the other leg, and the
conditions are reversed. The foreign
spinners suffer because of the high
prices, due to consumption outstrip-
ping production, and producers are
reaping the benefit Of the enhanced
value Of their product.
Ol course, L,ISent strained con.
ditionS will disappear anG the vari-
Gus branches OF the trade will read just
their relations with each other. The
Increase in consumption will stimu-
late production, and in course of time
the supply will again equal the de-
mand, and with the backward swing
or the pendulum the other extreme
VIII be reached and oyrl reduction
VIII again give spinnt rs an advantage
over producers. There is, the refore,
no reason to feel any too much con
Germ over the present dis ress of Brit.
iSh Spinners." We do not believe
that cotton will ever go below the
cost of production again as 1t did
few years ago, unless some business
depression that occurred Their occurs
again. Under normal conditions OF
business we do not believe that the
South can produce cotton crop large
enough to depress the price OF the
staple below living figure.

The Passing of the Brilliant and
Gentle Carl. Mckinley.
New-York tribune., 1904-10-30

The wealthy residents of the villages about
the deer shooting grounds strongly opposed
to permitting the shooting of deer because of
the many acts of Iawlessness which per-
petrated. The members Of the South Side Club
and large guard of special deputies is re-
quired to protect their property while the rao-
BILE are congregated In the vicinity. On the
other hand, the farmers. whose crops are de-
stroyed by the deer. and the hotel keepers, who
realize augmentation of profits through the
presence Of many strangers in the locality,
are anxious that the present law should not be
repealed.
The permitting of an intervening close season
between the open days is regarded by sports
detrimental to the interests of the shoot
ing. il permits the deer TO recover from their
fright of the first day and to return to the pub
lie grounds. Moreover, many sportsmen who
remain the grounds until the close of the
son persist in shooting the deer in the close time
while apparently engaged in hunting partridges
and quail. In former years the shooting was
practised on consecutive days.
AS might be naturally supposed. the deer
killed on the opening day of the season will
considerably exceed in number the aggregate
of the remaining three days. While they are not
5 large those killed in lore northern regions,
some of them will weigh more than two hun
dred pounds Such is the eagerness of the
sportsmen to secure a deer that high $50
is sometimes paid for buck on the grounds.
1t is reported that the prospects for shoot
ing deer on Long Island this fall more fa-
vorable than has been the case in many years,
a knowledge of which fact will greatly augment
the numbers of those who will participate in
the shooting.

DEER ON LONG ISLAND
-Four Days Season for Shooting
Them Opens on Wednesday Nert.

Sportsmen of this city and its suburbs who
aspire TO the shooting of large game IN ITS native
haunts but command neither the time nor
money TO enjoy an excursion 10 the Adirondacks
or the Maine woods enthusiastically con-
ternplating the opening of the legal season for
shooting deer on Long Island next "Wednesday
In this region within hours railroad journey
from the City Hall may be found hundreds OF
deer on unposted land, wh,re any one may en-
5oy the privilege Of shooting them on the first
two Wednesdays and Fridays after the hrst
Tuesday in November of each year, which days
represent the entire open season. The tract,
occupying about a hundred square miles, lies
along the north side OF the tracks OF the Long
Island Railroad between 1slip and SayVilie.
Contiguous TO this tract are the preserves OF
the South Side Club where the deer are exempt
from rno,estation at any season OF the year.
To the presence Of these preserves, where the
animals seek refuge Immediately after the season
opens may be ascribed the preservation OF the
game from total determination.
The reputation OF these deer shooting grounds
IS known not only by sportsnen in this city, but
nv those of Nex-Jersey Pennsylvania, Connect
gcut Rhode Island and Massachusetts,, many
of whose number will arrive on Tuesday next
in an.icipaticn OF the opening season.
While the season may not be regarded to have
opened legally before daylight on "wednesday

morning, the tollng of the midnight hour by the
old clock in the belfry at Sayville will be the
signal for the sportsmen to issue forth Then,
after unleashing the hounds, they will plunge
into the brush and through shouts and beating
of cans and blowing horns seek to drive the
deer from their coverts. Through this kind OF
barbarian hunting many deer will be killed be-
fore dawn when the more systematic shooting
will begin. Then the sportsmen will take sta
tions along the 'runways." while all the hounds
will be freed on tracks of deer. AS soon as the
game approaches within range OF the hunters
a veritable fusade Of musketry is heard, and
the course of the fleeing animal may be known
through the reports of the firearms The cessa-
tion of shooting is invariably a sign that the
game has been killed.
A favorite line upon which the sportsmen
gather is that dividing the South Side Clubs
preserves from the public grounds. Here the
sportsmen are located, with only a few yards
of space intervening between them That more
casualties do not occur as a result of this sta
tioning Of the men and the promiscuous char
acter of the shooting seems miraculous AS
several men sometimes shoot at the same deer
heated disputes occur as to the possession of the
carcass. These usually terminate in the strong
er party carrying the game of In triumph
against the protestations of the other one.
There is a law observed on the grounds for
the disposition of the game among the various
members of party. 1t requires a division of
the venison. while the head is awarded to the
! ran killing the game. and the skin belongs to
| the dogs. AS parties very large the
| division often results III very small allotment

While some rifles used on the grounds
their employment is generally discountenanced
through the greater liability of accidents which
