upon one of the most pathetic scenes in
history. one of the greatest generals
in the annals of war. Twice the Chief
Executive of this great Republic. The
foremost American citizen. The most
popular hero OF his age, penniless and
homeless.
Brilliant as Grant was in planning
his campaigns and winning his battles,
to me, his greatest battle was not
fought on southern soil, his grandest
victory not that of the "Wilderness"
Petersburg, or any battle field from
Fort Henry to Appomattox Court
House. But it was fought and won in
the borrowed cottage of Joseph Drexel
near Saratoga, N. Y, during the last
five weeks Of his life. Bankrupt in es :.
tate, enfeebled by disease, racked with
with pain, riding an invalid chair in
place of his old war charger he shook
his fist in the face of death and held
the grim monster at bay until he had
finished his book which should provide
widOwn and children with homo and
comfort.
lowering between life and death.
The cruel cancer robbing him of sleep
and speech, he struggled through his
daily task surrendering his pen only
four days before his death.
He was heroic when before Donelson
he sent to Buckner his reply of"uncon-

when at SpOttsylvania he electrified
the Nation with his eight it out on

was sublimely heroic when at Mount

Some Garden Enemies.

How plant can survive nowadays
is a mystery, for a!mcst everyone has
some special enemy or enemies; in
fac.. their name IS legion, says the
Garden Magazine. There are biters,
borers. suckers and cutters; there are
nildew, rust, blight and scab. While
there are wholesale methods of de-
stroyirg most cf them. there are about
two Cc.e2 CRITTERS" that have to be
known by sight and fought by special
methods. All insects may be divided
into two classes. the biters and the
suckers. The way to get rid of the
PESTS that bite and chew is to poison
their food, but the fellows that suck
the juices and pay no attention what
ever to poison on the outside surface
of plant have to be met and slain in
open battle.

sOuTd CAROLINA CROP BULLETIN
Conditions Fer Past Week as Given
Out by the Department.


The section director for the South
Carolina section OF the Department OF
Agriculture issue the following bulle-
lin: The week ending Monday, July
3rd. had nearly normal mean tenn
perature, it having been very high at
the beginning OF the week, with mnx-
imum Of 90 degrees at Blackville on
June eth. and was comparatively cool
during the middle Of the week with a
minimum of g. at Allendale on June
Goth. There was more than an aver
age amount of cloudiness. The winds
were mostly easterly and drying.
Copious rains fell in the Savannah
valley counties and along the southern
coast; excessive rains in the extreme
western and northwestern counties.
The cooperative observer at WaIhaIla
reported over thirteen inches for the
week. Scattered showers, generally
light occurred in the central, eastern
and northeastern counties, where the
drought has only been partially re-
lieved. Lands were washed and bot
tom lands flooded in 0conee, Fckens
and parts Of Greenville, Anderson and
Barnwell counties; in all other sections
the rainfall was wholly beneficial.
Cotton improved in general appear
ance, although it has not attained
normal size except in few scattered
localities. The cotton crop is uneven
and Negular in size, growth and fruit,
age Though it is blooming normally
ovt practically the whole State. There
are fewer complaints Of deterioration,
lice and shedding than last week. In
the dry sections, some plants are
blooming to the top. Sea island cotton
continues small, though generally
healthy.
There Is little. If any improvement,
in the early planted corn, which con-
tinues unpromising; later paintings
have improved in color and growth,
but are still being seriously injured by
chinch bugs in places.
Wheat threshing is under way and
the yields are very poor. Rice is do
ing well. Tobacco is being cured; the
crop is poor and shows the bad effects
Of drought. Peas are being sown ex-
tensively. Pastures and gardens are
parched, except where the recent rains
have partially revived them. Water
melons are being marketed. Sweet po-
tota slips are being set out since the
rains and where set out earlier are do
ing well. The general crop outlook
is more promising than heretofore, but
is still poor where moisture is def
cient, which Includes about half the
State.
