MAGNOLIA NEWS NOTES.

Magnolia, July 26.-The recent
showers have greatly improved the ap-
pearance of the cotton crops around
this place, and it may fully recover
from the effects of the drouth, but corn
is off from 10 to 20 per cent. as ap-
plies to this Immediate section.
Some Of the farms about three miles
southwest and west of this place have
not suffered a day from lack of rain,
and guess this is the case all over
the state. The showers have operated
in peculiar way, favoring certain
spots, and passing invariably around
others. This correspondent has OBJ
served that when the land underwent
sub-soiling process, broken up, say
u inches deep, that the crop shows
no signs of injury. but held its own,
while adjoining fields. prepared in the
usual manner, with same kind and
quantity of fertilizers, shows unmis.
taxable signs Of deterioration. The
proof in this section is clear.
Mr.. Joe Joye OF Sumter is visiting
relatives in this place.
Mr.. M. Z. Mcintosh has returned
from a visit to Providence Springs,
and speaks of the crops in that section
in Aattering terms, as also the springs.
Mr. 7. Gordon Grifin's millinery
store will soon be completed. Gordon
is looking out for tho ia" trade and
means to be ready.
Rev. T. M. Dent, is conducting a
protracted meeting at Wells Church
near this place.
sold uncle" Billie Smith, the old
colored man whose name we mention

his last, he being seriously i'll. He

Smiths great grandfather, Mr..
Arhur Smiths place about four miles
from this place in the year 1900. His
younger brother, cold Uncle, Nat'' is
81 years old and gets around pretty
lively.
Next Friday is campaign day at
this place, and it will be day of
smiles. Lee county has SO candidates
for offce-and all the best CT men,

small number of them. Friend Bill

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Columbia, July 26.-The week end
ing a. NJ, July 25th, had mean
temperature of 80 degrees, which is
nearly two below normal, due to ex-
cessive heat during the first half and
atnormally low temperatures during
the last half. The extremes we're a
minimum of 56 at Greenville on the
Oath and maximum of 104 at Black
vile, and other places, on the 21st.
There were numerous damaging high
winds and hail storms accompanying
thunder storms, but the resulting in
jury to crops was confined to small
area. The sunshine was deficient,
and the relative humidity below nor
NAL. causing corn and cotton to wilt,
during the first half and was above
normal during the latter half.
Numerous and we'll distributed
showers occurred in all parts of the
State, materially reducing the extent
of the droughty areas, but there are
still a number of widely scattered Sec
tiens where crops are suffering for the
want of moisture and where the need
of rain is urgent. The week rainfall
-Nged from "trace' to s. "A inches,
th latter in eastern Chesterfield coun-
l., where lands were badly washed
and lowlands flooded. destroying the
fn'e crops on them; lowlands were so
flooded in parts OF Spartanburg coun-
ty. Wells and streams continue very
low in the central Savannah valley
counties, but generally stock-water is
more plentiful. There is need Of more
fresh water for flooding rice fields, as
the lower reaches of the river are very
low.
As a rule all crops have been laid
by althouh excessive rain in a few
localities delayed the work, and in
some sections cotton is still small
enough to be cultivated. Generally
fields are clean, but there is an in
creasing number of exceptions especi-
ally in the northeastern counties
where the fields are grassy.
The high temperature early in the
week caused corn to wilt and fire, but
the fall in temperature and the ac-
conlpanying rains checked the damage
before it had become serious. Old
corn was too nearly ripe to be much
benefited by the improved weather
conditions, and in the driest sections
is nearly failure; young corn is
generally promising.
Cotton continues to make satisfac-
tory growth and is fruiting we'll.
The middle crop gives indications Of
being heavy one. There are numer-
Gus reports of cotton shedding leaves
and squares, but as yet the injury is
not serious. The crop as whole con-
tinues very promising, with less COM
plant of insects and disease than last
weGk. Sea-island cotton is small, Of
good color and blooming profosely.
Tobacco curing made only fair pro-
gress owing to the numerous showers
that hindered the work. Early rice
is heading we'll; late needs more
fresh water for flooding than is avail

getting will soon De able to eros, bats

try.
A game between the married and
single men was played on the diamond
Friday. 1t was good game through
out and was enjoyed by big crowd of
spectators. The married men won the
game by close margin.
Many Norualites witnessed the game
ard cheered the 'boys" on by such
yells as "Young men once; young men
twice, Rah, Rab, R,h. They're nlI
NICE" and "What's the matter with the
young men2 They're all right. Who
says SOP Everybody. Who's every
body? All the girls"
| Ga Saturday second ball game was
played between Beaver aud Fulton.
Neither team had their regular players
and the game could hardly be termed
Beaver vs.. Fulton, as a number Of the
regular Beaver players helped Fulton
out in filling up their ranks.
| The game was a good one and fur
nished much amusement for the crowd.
Several of the players on botn sides
were krocke out on account of being
hit with the ball. Fulton won the
game but they credit their success to
the girls who helped them out wonders
fully by their cheers aud hoodoocd
the opposing team with their "roasts." !"
Another game is planned for tomor-
row. Every body whet up your voice
aud get ready to cheer.

Saturday @. p. Hatton suffered a Sc.

charge OF shot gun
lie was canyilg an armful of grocer
les and gun which was loaded with
buckshot. Iu some way he dropped the
gun 10 such manner as to di.charge
it and the load struck Mr.. Halion in
the left shoulder, making severe flesh
wound but breaking no bones or caus.
ing no fatal results.
The shot struck some article which
Mr. Hatton had in bis vest pocket, aud
glanced uf. Had it not been for this
fact no doubt his entire left arm would
have been severed from his body and
Il is not improbable but that he would
have been killed instantly. Mr.. Ilatton
returned to town as soon as possible
after the injury and DR.. Martin dressed
the wouad. At present, aside from
being very painful, the injury is doing
nicely.
His escape from instant death was
almost miraculous and Of course, be
has learned lesson which he will never
forget. Hereafter firearms will be
handled by Mr.. Hatton with the ut
most care but not so with others. A.
long as time shall be, accidents will
occur from the careless handling Of
guns and not until one has undergone
just such an experience as this oI
worse, will they learn that gun is
dangerous even without lock, stock OIL
barrel.
We regret very much to learn of TIE
accident but feel that Mr.. Hatton wa.
Providcntally favored IN that the injury
was not fatal.
