The Excessive Rams.
J. A. GoREE,
FELIX A. GUNTER

Farmers IN all sections Of the
county are complaining of the ex
cessiye rains. Crops. which {
week ago made the best showing
which this section has had for a
long time. now show unmistaka-
bly, the effects of the wet weather
and, il the rains continue another
week, the crop will be irrepara-
bly, damaged.
This applies to all sections. the
prairie as we'll as the sandy
land country. The rains have
been general and continuous and
cotton has suffered greatly there
from. One conservative man
gave his estimate of the damage
done at fully fifteen per cent,
and said il the weather continued
for another week the prospect
would be cut down fully thirty
per cent. Cotton is in the
crucial stage now. dry weather
is needed, and if the rains con-
tinue they will cost this section
hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The Standard Stove Works.


Stove Works. and Mr.. Frank
Rogers. its superintendent, the
former from Birmingham and
the latter from Fort Payne. ar
rived in the city on Monday af-
ternoon. They came over for
the purpose of inspecting the
work being done on their build
ings here and to prepare for the
installation of the machinery,
which will begin to arrive this
week.
MIR. Folsom stated to a DIS
PATCH representative that they
expected to be here. organized
and running iron. that is mould
ing stoves, by the middle of Sep
TENDER. The company is far be
hind with it's orders, and while
they are working a fall force at
Fort Payne at present, they have
been unable to supply the de
mand for their stoves. The
company will move from Fort
Payne to Columbus With as little
delay as possible. All Of the
old machinery at their present
plant, such as boilers, engines,
etc, has been sold and new ma
chinery throughout will be in
stalled here. The orders for the
engines have been placed and
the manufacturers contracted to
have the engines on the cars,
ready for shipment, yesterday.
The boilers will be shipped in a
few days and the cupola, for the
melting OF the iron is being
built by the Birmjngh INA Bridge
Works. and will be shipped TO
this city in sections ready for
erection. In this way the new
plant will be ready to blow in F"
as soon as the patterns arrive
and they will be kept at Fort
Payne until the last moment. I'M
til the local plant is thoroughly
complete.
Mr.. Folsom said that it would
REQUIRE about two weeks to move
the patterns and other necessary
equipment from Fort Payne to
Columbus and to get things
started here. They will be

crew of men and moulders

He expressed some apprehen-
sion that his men would be I'M
able to find homes and cottages
here. 1T looks serious" said
he, TO use his exact language,
and Colum bus people are not
preparing for them. He said
if he could complete the dis
position of his Birmingham
property in time he would not
mind erecting twenty or thirty
good cottages here in good
neighborhoods, but he has large
realty interests in Birmingham
which must be sold before such
an enterprise could be under
taken.
Mr.. Folsom will bring his
wife and family here in the
fall and Mr.. Rogers will bring
his family with him, having
rented the Ussery home on
North Third Avenue yesterday.
Mr.. Saunders will arrive with
his family in the fall. and all

progressing satisfactorily and,
under the supervision of Mr..
Price. everything will be ready
by the middle of next month.

Trees in French Cities.

One of the chief beauties OF the
larger French cities and second only
to their edihces and monuments are
the trees. Tt: almost interminable
vistas Of chestnuts and acaciaS
stretching along the broad and well
paved avenues as far as the eye can
reach, their bending branches almost
touching one another in an endless
arch of vendure, form not only de-
lightful perspective for the eye, but
serve to add beauty to cities already
beautiful and grace and symmetry to
whatever might be harsh and forbid
ding.
This. however, is not the result of
natures handiwork alone, for science
and art have lent their aid. The
planting, as we'll as the maintenance
of the trees in French cities, is an
item OF no little importance in the an
nual budget prepared by the. munich
pal council. which does not look upon
their preservation Of less conse-
their preservation as of less conse-
roadways or the lighting of the
streets

FARMERS OIL MILL.
Running Battery of Six Gins To Ut
Most Capacity.

The ginning department of the
Farmers Oil Mill is now in full
blast. The mill was formally OPEN
ed Saturday and test run was made,
but it was not until this week that the
ginning began in earnest.
The ginning machinery consists OF
Z battery OF six gins, with total
capacity OF from seventy-hve to one
hundred bales per day. Tie cotton
is coming in very fast and the indi-
cations are that all six gins will be
kept constantly busy.
The oil mill proper is still in pro-
cess Of completion and it will be at
least ten days, and perhaps two
weeks, before the machinery in that
department can be put in running
order. The management of the mill

THE STORM.
Struck On Both Sides Of Newberry
On Wednesday.

South Carolina has seldom been
visited by such a gale as swept over
the state on "Wednesday. and the
counties which were fortunate
enough to be out of the path
and the counties which were for
tunate enough to be out of the path
of the storm have good reason for
rejoicing. Spartanburg county on
one side was struck by the wind blow
ing at the rate of ten miles per hour,
and Florence one the other side was
visited by a still fercer hurricane,
while Newberry and the adjacent
counties enjoyed an almost perfect
calm. The sky on Wednesday in New
berry county was for the most part
clear and the stars at night were
shining brightly, while indications of
the winds and thunder-storms were
entirely lacking In view Of the fact
that in many parts Of the state crops
were ruined and even buildings were
razed to the ground, this county is
to be certainly congratulated on the
lucky escape.

Many years ago, when collecting

shot on the salt marshes a swallow,
