RACE SUICIDE A FACT.
View Deducted from Review Of Pitts
burg Death Rate.

Pittsburg, PA table of the
births and deaths in Pittsburg dur
ing the past fourteen years, pre-
pared by City Physician DR.. B. A.
Booth for the bureau of health,
shows a startling decrease in the
number of births, Notwithstanding
a large increase in population.
In 1901 there were 1907 births,
the rate per 1000 being 2S.61. In
the same year there were 1882
deaths, the rate per 1000 being
1851.
The table is complete to the end
of 1904, which shows a decrease
in the birth rate to 21.74, more
than 7 per cent. The death rate
decreased from 1901 to 1870 from
1891 to 1904.
In commenting upon the report
DR.. Booth said:
The figures show that race
suicide is a fact, and I think more
so in Pittsburg than any of the

CROP BULLETIN.
What Director Bauer Says About
Crops tho Past Week. il

The week ending Monday, May 1st,
had practically normal temperature.
Though the first of the week was
cooler than usual, the last few days
we're very warm, with maximum tenn.
peratures above 80 dsgrees cn the
29th.
There were rains on the 26th, 9th
and Goth, with hail in few places,
and destructive high winds in Union
and Saluda counties. The precipita.
tion averaged somewhat over an inch
for the State, though many places re-
ported less than an inch, but over the
entire State enough moisture was sup
piled for the present need OF all crops
and for terminating recently planted
seeds. There We're excessive rains Ia
the central and eastern counties that
delayed teamwork from one to three
days, but, as rule, the precipitation
was needed and proved very benef-
cial.
Flowing and planting were inter
rupted, but made fair progress with
the soil generally in excellent condi-
tion. Cotton planting is more than
three-fourtbs finished, and early plant
ings are coming up to good stands;
some cotton has been chopped in the
eastern counties. There has been
some replanting done in the central
counties where the nights have been
too cool. Corn planting Is now con.
fined to bottom lands, and generally
to the western counties. Early corn
has good stands but Is being severely
damaged by cut and bud worms, me-
cessitating considerable replanting.
The corn that was cut down by the
recent frosts is coming out again and
will not need to be replanted. Early
corn is being cultivated.
The wheat crop is being damaged
by the fly In several northwestern
counties, but is otherwise promising.
The oats crop was scarcely injured by
the froSts and, with exceptions in the
southeastern counties; Is In promis-
Ing condition though heading too low
in places.
Truck was greatly benefited by the
showers OF the week and Is promising,
except peas which were injured by the
cold weather of February and again
in April Some white potatoes were
completely destroyed by the frost,
while the larger portion of the crop
Is making Few growth. Large
shipments Of Strawberries are being
made.
Protected peach and other fruit
trees were only lightly touched by the
frost OF the 18th Of April, in the ex.
treme northwest, while exposed trees
had all their fruit killed; the damage
is less in the central counties and very
small in the eastern one. Apples are
not promising. Pear trees are blight
ing badly. Rice planting has not yet
begun in the Georgetown district,
and is about finished In other dis
tricts. Tobacco transplanting Is we'll
advanced generally, and finished in a
few sections. Melons and other minor
crops are now doing well. Pastures
afford excellent grazing. The season

Bucket Shops and Exchanges.

Before the Supreme Court at Wash
ington the other day Judge Crumpack-
er boldly asserted that the Board OF
Trade OF Chicago was nothing better
than an institution established for the
promotion Of gambling. He was de-
tending the bucket shops in a case
that is now pending against them,
and he did so by declaring that there
was no essential difference between
them and the large institution of the
country In which commodities and
securities are dealt in on margin. He
ridiculed the contention that an &C.
tual delivery OF grain is contemplated
when there Is a purchase or sale of
wheat or corn In the pits at Chicago.
He admitted that some actual sales
take place, but he declared that the
boards OF trade Of the country could
not be maintained except for the tran.
sactions Of purely speculative nature
that took place In them. He did not
deny that bucket shops are places
where gambling pure and simple.
goes forward, but he did contend that
their transactions are Identical with
- idoJCiipJ Va CIlRGScu Ill Dy Ulc
members OF the legitimate exchanges
In either instance he contended that
the so called business done was bet
ting, nothing more and nothing less;
and he could not see why any legal
hair splitting should be done about
the matter. In commenting on the
position takenb by Judge Crumpacker
The News and Courier saws "if the
Supreme Court snail now hold with
Judge Crumpacker on this point it
will be interesting to watch what the
result will be. A legal declaration that

more than gamblers might make 1t

TIE State is urging the Columbia

name OF the library to "The Timrod

deserved compliment to the memory
OF South Cardinals sweetest singer.

appreciated during life as he should
have been. No man can read the
