SOUTH CAROLINA CROP BULLETIN
Weather Conditions Given Out by the

The South Carolina section OF the
climate and crop service Of the De-

following official bulletin of weather

The first of the wee; ending Mon

usual and the latter part was un-
seasonahly cooi. with the minimum
temperature at Columbia the second
lowest ever recorded i'll August, 1t
having been one degree lower III 1876.
The average for the week ranged
from four degrees. III the upper por-
ton. to one degree. III the lower por-
tionS. below the normal. The air was
generally humid during the hot pc
riod and very dry at the close OF the
week

From many localities come reports
that the cotton crops has deteriorated
rapidly during the week due to con-
tinued rust, and shedding and tina.
practically all Of the top crop had
fallen off and that on early cotton
fruiting had ceased; few reports
of Improvement were received, and
that the plants continued green and
growing rapidly and fruiting satisfac-
torily. while most of the reports IN
dicate that there has been 70 material
change in conditions during the week
except that on sandy lands the plants
were not fruiting and that the top
crop would be light. bolls opened
rapidly over the eastern half and
slowly over the western. Picking
made slow progress but will soon be
active over the entire State. Cater
pillars infeSt sea-island cotton and
some rust has appeared, but the crop
generally is in good condition.
Tobacco curing will be finished by
the first of September: some OF the
cured tobacco lacks brightness due to

made favorable progress. Turnlps
xere planted extensively and came up
to fair stands. Pastures are fine.

Durham, N. Notwithstanding
the reports that continue of boycott
on American-made goods by Chinese
buyers, the Southern cotton mills con-
tinue to make shipments of their pro-
ducts to the Far East. This is indi-
Gated by a dispatch from Dunn, n.
c., which refers to the shipment of
100000 yeards of cloth to Shanghai
by the No. 2 mill Of the Erwin Cotton
Mills Co., of this place. The No. 2
mill is located at Duke, near Dunn.
1t was planned for 10000 spindles
and 1000 looms, but only half that
equipment is in position at present,
and the product is denim cloths. This
is one Of several recent instances Of
big foreign order for Southern mills.

was purchased at public auction by
Robert j. Collier, of this city, is to be
restored and preserved. Mr.. Collier
said recently that he had not decided
exactly what course to pursue with
regard to the estate. 1t could be, he
said, turned over to the national gov
ernment and the farm counld be main
tanned as a park. The surrounding
country is beautiful and the place is
not far from a railroad. Perhaps one
Of the patriotic societies may be inter-

UNDEVELoPED WATER POWER
Which Are Susceptible of Producing
Vast Store IF Motive Power.

1t is staid That the United States
geological survey is soon to have pre-
pared a map showing the extent to
which the water powers of this State
are susceptible of development. The
work will show the water powers on
the Broad river north of Aston and
onthe Catawba river between Cam
den and the North CaCrolina line.
On the Catawba river (also known
below the Great Falls as the Wa
teree) in the so miles between Cam
der and the State line the fall Is
about $50 feet. The greatest fall Oc-
ours at the head of navigation, five
miles above Camden where the drop
is 50 feet in five miles; at Rocky
Mount where the fall is 173 feet i'll
eight miles, and at Landsford, where
the fall is 40 feet in two miles. At
each of these points small naviga-
tion canals were constructed about
IS years ago by the State.
Very little power is now being used
at these shoals. The principal devel-
oped water power on the river Is
the new plant at Rock Hill, where
the dam and working head are about
3 feet.
- On Broad river the fail is about $40
5feet in the Is miles between Aston
anG the State line. The principal
shoals are The Locbhart shoals, where
the fall is As feet on Cne and a half
miles and series of shoals, including
Cherokee shoals, near Gaffney where
the fall is 104 fet in six miles. An eX-
animation and report OF this river
was made in 1870 and 1880 by the
corps of engineers of the United
States army.
