ported rs Good.
Section Director Bauer says the
week ending Monday, May 18th, was
considerably warmer than usual with
the daily maximum temperatures
ranging from 80 to 90, and the night
temperatures from IS TO Is. There
was considerable cloudiness, more
than usual to the season, and there
were damaging high winds locally in
the northwest and northeastern coun-
ties.
With the exception Of the south
western counties where the precipita.
tion was generally light and where
cultivation made rapid and favorable
progress, the week was very wet from
Anderson county In the west along
the North Carolina border to Marlbo-
ro, as well as over the eastern portions
generally, so that teamwork was
further delayed and blowing or culti-
waiting impracticable except on one or
two days. Lands were badly washed
and bottoms oveItlowed in the north
ern and east central counties.
The weather conditions were favor
able for termination and growth, but
all field crops are in need of cultiva-
tion and are foul with grass and
weeds. Some replanting has been
done on account t the grass. Stands
OF both corn and tton are uniformly
good, and the same applies to all mi.
nor crops except to rice in the George.
town district.
Early corn is growing nicely, and in
many places has received its first
working, but cut and bud worms are
still damaging. 1t has been general
ly too wet to plant bottom lands to
corn.
Cotton planting continues over the
western counties where this work has
been e. eatly delayed by the recent
rains. Chopping is in progress in al

Capt. Walter Thorn, Civil war
veteran, Of Brooklyn, N. Y, has de-
clined to serve on the staff of the
grand marshal at the Grand Army
parade on Decoration day, My 3Oth,
because cx Confederates have been
invited to join in the parade. Capt.
Thorn refers to them as ex.rebels",
and expresses the fear that "the un-
thinking crowd will lloniZe them. "
The Newberry Observer says the only
really strange thing about this is that
the captain Is sp ken Of as "a Civil
war veteran. 1t would be safe to
bet that he was a war sutler or some
sort of camp follower-not a real sol.

The Fort Motto Shortage.

j. N. Croswell has been elected dis
penser at Fort Motto and the dis.
pedsary at that place has been reopen.
ed after having been closed for sever.
al weeks. The State says Bozzard, the
former dispenser, was short in his ac.
counts about 800, although the an.
nual report OF the dispensary shows
its business for an entire year to have
been but about $4,000. The shortage
was discovered by Inspector Nichols,
who found the place filled with empty
cases which had been nailed up and
apparently had never been opened.
The inspectors who visited the place
before must have accepted empty cases
for packages, for it Is hardly probable
for such large quantity of liquor to
have been lost sight OF between In.
Spection. The dispenser who had this
shortage was indemniticd by a surety
bond and 1T Is probable that the State
VIII be reimbursed for the entire loss.
There have been two convictions un.
der the criminal law for shortages In
dispensarles, the celebrated case from
kingstree and the Holtzclaw case from
Greenville. There is another pending,
the Sullivan case I'm Iaurcns.
