CLIMATE AND CROP SERVICE
Warm Weather Gave Vegetation
a Good Start.

The crop and weather bulletin
issued from the Weather bureau
fer the week ending May 10, says ::
The week was fair and warm with
abundant sunshine. The maxi
mum temperatures ranged from
80 to IS degrees, and minimum
from 40 to 6S degrees. Light show
ers fell on Tuesday, Sunday and
Monday, but the rainfall was def
cient. The mean temperature av-
eraged about 8 degrees per day
above the normal. Warmth and
sunshine had their effect, and
brought vegetation forward rap
idly. Wheat and rye are improV-
ing, but are generally thin on the
ground with poor prospects. Oats
are coming up nicely, and grow
ing fast. Flowing is well along,
and corn is being planted. Grass
and pastures are making good
growth, and stock is generally IN
fair condition, and has been turn
ed cut. Gardens are nearly all
made, and are coming up. Pota-
toes have been mostly planted,
and are coming up. Fruit trees
have an unusually heavy bloom
over the northern section except
some early cherry and plum, and
the prospects is for a large crop
of apples in the northern section,
and a fair crop of peaches, pears,
late cherries and plums; in the
southern section, fruit suffered
greater injury (being more adj
vanced) and the prospect is not SO
favorable; rain is now needed.

The Yellow Peril.

That people should feel and express
sympathies on one side or the other, as
between two warning nations, is very
natural: but it does not always follow
that these sympathies are well found
ed.
The enterprise and courage of little
Japan in graphing with giant nation
like Russia. necessarily commands ad-
miration wherever courage and en-
terprise are held in esteem; but In the
light of comprehensive knowledge OF
the possible outcome of the success OF
either of these belligerents it is we'll
enough not to become too enthusiastic
for one or the other, for beyond the
mere question as to which OF these
movers might be victorious in this
struggle there are other considerations
that are of tremendous consequence to
the prese mt future of the world.
The nation that wins in this struggle
will at once BECOME more powerful
than either of them has ever been.
The possible outcome, of course. is
beyond comprehension: but there are
probabilities that leave but small room
for speculation to'the contrary. THESE
probabilities include the domination by
the winner of the millions of fierce
people i'm China and Southern Asia
about one fourth the population OF the
globe-and therein lies the great ul-
innate consideration of present derel-
opments.
Japan is the leading representative
of the Mongolian or yellow race. and
Russia is composed of Il mongrel half
and half breed-half white and half
yellow. half European and half Asiat-
ic The sympathies of Russia are
more Caucasian than Mongolian; but
more Russian, more selfish than eth
er. Japan is apparently an under

Frances great fleet to guard her trans
ports. France will be willing to lend
her navy for this purpose very shortly.
1t is known in Paris that the Combes
cabinet cannot retain control of the
chamber Of deputies much longer. The
Combes cabinet has heretofore been
the only assurance Of French neutral
ity, but it's power is waning. 1t Is
known that it is torn by internal dis
sensions. Preparations are already be-
ing made by the politicians of Paris
aided by the newspapers to create a
new cabinet. In order to do this, M.
Pellatin's administration of the navy
is to be attacked and his resignation
will shortly be demanded. NJ. Pellatin
is not popular in the cabinet and his
fellow members would be glad to see
him raked by an investigation, even
though such an investigation should
lead to the dissolution of the whole
body. The cabinet of M. Combes is to
be dissolved within a short time. This
is regarded as certain and London fears
the worst.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Rents are too low In YorkVille.
The question Of erecting a munich
pal building Is still under considera-
tion; but no definite steps have been
taken.
Capt. w. B. Moore Of the Jasper
Light Infantry has been ordered to
have his company in readiness for in
spection on March 81. D..
.-Yorkville now has banking re-
sources that aggregate $350,00, and
this sum would seem ample for the
stimulation of business and industrial
activity.
- Mr.. D. F. Willis announces that
he has become the owner Of the Howe
shaving parlor next door to the First
National Bank and promises to con-
tinue the business in accordance with
the very satisfactory standard that
has been heretofore maintained. Mr..
Willis has been in Yorkville for sew
eral months, and has made quite a
favorable impression upon all with
whom he has come in contact, both as
to knowledge Of his trade and as to
personal conduct. That he will con-
tinue the highly creditable service that
been rendered by his shaving parlor,
there is no reason to doubt, and the
many friends he has made since his
coming to Yorkville will see that he
does not lack for patronage.

WE did not receive that issue of the
Newberry Herald and News, but find
it quoted in the News and Courier as
follows:
THE Legislature gave the right to
the people of every county to vote In
or to vote out a dispensary, and the
election can be held whenever 25 per
cent of the electors petition for such
an election. That is local self-govern-
ment by counties and the rule or the
people. What else do you want?"
How does that sound to the man
who knows that instead Of giving the
right to vote an untrammelled vote on
this question, the legislature has ar
ranged to fine every man who votes
against the dispensary fifty cents n
year for each one thousand dollars
that he returns for taxation? Local
self government by counties" the idea
Wonder whom the Herald and News,
published under the shadow of the
chairman of the state board Of dis
pensary directors. hopes to deceive
with a statement like that. To US 1t
looks more like government by the
dispensary and the rule of vicious des-
pots. Such a thing would hardly be
tolerated in any other civilized country
on earth, except Russia.
