Weather Conditions Given Out by the
Department Observer.


The week ending a. m. Of the 10th,
had mean temperature slightly in ex-
cess of the normal, although there was
some complaint Of too cool nights near
the close Of the week, from the western
portions of the State. The extremes for
the week were maximum Of 100 de-
grees at Columbia on the 3rd, and a
minimum Of 62 degrees at Greenville
on the Sth. There were destructive high
winds in the western and central coun-
ties accompanying thunderstorms but
the damage was confined to small areas.
There was more than the usual amount
Of cloudiness, especially during the af-
ternoons, with mornings and nights
generally clear.
The average precipitation was some
what in excess Of the normal, with,
however, many places in the east CEN
trail and northern counties that had lit
tie or no rain and where the drought
was intensified and is now very detri-
mental to all growing crops. In Oconee,
Anderson, and parts of Pickens and the
central Savannah valley counties there
were very heavy rains that washed
lands, flooded bottom lands and re-
tarded cultivation; over the greater
portion Of the State the rainfall was
wholly beneficial, though scarcely suf-
flcient for the needs Of crops.
There was a general improvement in
the condition of cotton, confined largely
to clayed soils, while on sandy lands
there was improvement in spots only.
The plants have grown too fast In the
western counties, and generally under
sized elsewhere, though healthy. Rust
has appeared in Anderson county. and
BLACK root" in Clarendon. Sharp
shooters have done considerable dam
age in Anderson and Pickens counties.
In sections where the rainfall has been
deficient, and the plants are in conse-
quence small, they are blooming to the
tops. In most places the plants are
fruiting normally.
The rains came too late to benefit old
corn, which is poor in every part Of the
State, while young corn has become
very promising, except on bottom lands,
In a few counties, where what is left
after the floods has become very
grassy.
Tobacco curing has made fair prog
ress, but the crop is light one. Rice
is doing fairly well. A large cage
of cow-peas has been planted on wheat
and oats stubble lands, and they have
come up to good stands. Gardens are
poor, in places ruined by the drought.
Pastures have improved recently. Mel
ons are plentiful. Peaches scarce ex-
cept where raised on commercial
scale.-J. w. Bauer, Section Director.

The Dargan Case.

columbia Special.-The coroner's
fury in the case of R. Keith Dargan,
the former president Of the Indepen-
dent Cotton Oil Cimpany, Of Darling
ton, who committed suicide Monday,
returned a verdict that the deceased
came to his death by taking carbolic
acid. 1t was developed at the inquest
that Mr.. Pegram Dargan, the brother
of the dead man, was in the room with
the suicide when he took the poison,
and stayed with him until he died.
This brother was placed on the stand,
but declined to make statement,
saying that the note left by Dargan
would explain all. This note was
read, and in it the dead man said
that although he had mismanaged he
was not a coward.
The physician who was called to the
dead mans aid testified that Pegram
Dargan said that he bought the acid
and saw his brother drink it. Pegram
Dargan made no reference to this,
however in his testimony.
The parents of the suicide are Ill,
suffering from shock.

Charged With Assault.

Spartanburg, Special-B. A. Lowe, a
white Baptist minister living at Lolo,
has taken out warrants for Robert
Gossett, superintendent, and Dan
Moore, Ed. Tanner and Jack Gaines,
operatives of the Valley Falls mill,
charging them with assault and bat
terry on his person. The warrants were
issued by Magistrate Kirby, Of this
city. Lowe alleges that on July 6
Gossett struck him on the head sever
al times and subsequently on the
same day the others encountered him
on the highway. The trouble appears
to have arisen from Lowe writing an
official of the cotton mill in Columbia
that Gossett was not fit person for
the management of the mill. The
case will be investigated in Magts-
trate Kirby's court.

The following story illustrates
the ready wit of an old New Eng
lander:
The report that Eli Green, farmer
residing in Shelburne, N. H., had kill
ed deer out of season, reached the
ears of the game warden Of that Sec
ton. About the same time sporting
marty. who called themselves the Ap-
palachian Club, passed through Shell
burne en- route to the White noun
tains, on snowshoes.
The game wardens thought to take
the wary Eli by surprise, so, arming
themselves with a quart Of the best
whisky to be had, and disguised as a
sporting party, they crossed the fields
on snowshoes, and reaching the house,
introduced themselves as the Appala-
chan Club, told Green what a pleas
ant trip they had, and, producing the
bottle, offered him drink.
The delighted farmer partook freely,

and soon was in very confidential
mood. The visitors then added that
they lacked but one thing to make a
success of the trip. I'VE haven't had
any deer meat" they said. "Of course,
it's out of season, but couldn't you
get us some? No one will know it
up here"
At first he said he couldn't, but
money persuaded him, and taking a
shovel, he started in the direction Of
the barn, and soon returned, dragging
a large piece of meat.
But just then his wife called from
the house: "Why, Eli, what yer doin'?
What yer diggin' up thet pork for?"
Eyer jest mind yer bizness, will yer;
thet's deer meat, tell yer. Why,
now, eff 'taint I never see no deer
