A Progressive Pup.

Mother Florence, the good old soul
who sells War Crys at the State
House in Topeka, tells a good dog
story. A little boy had pup which
he wanted to sell. 1t was during
political campaign. One morning he
gathered the pup up in his arms and
went to the home of the Democratic
candidate.
"Piease mister, won't you buy 10y
pup?" asked the boy.
"I don't need any pup" replied the
candidate.
"But this is such fine pup" said
the boy. "It is regular Democratic
pup"
Get out of here, you little imp
growled the Democrat. How dare
you insult me by calling that dog a
Democrat"
The boy moved on with his pup.
That day the Democratic candidate
met his Republican opponent and told
him of the insult. The next morning,
bright and early, the boy with his
pup appeared at the nome of the Re.
publican candidate.
Please, mister, won't you buy my
pup?" he asked.
what kind of a pup is it?" asked
the candidate
"oh, its a fine pup" said the boy
with his eyes lighting up. "Why,
mister, it is regular Republican
pup"

SOUTH CAROLINA CROP BULLETIN
Weather Conditions Given Out by the
Department Observer.

Weather Conditions Given Out by the
Department Observer.
The South Carolina section Of the De
partment Of Agriculture issues the fol-
lowing official bulletin of weather and
crop conditions for the past week:
The week ending Monday, July Gath,
had q mean temperature about 2 de-
grees per day above normal. The ex-
tremes were maximum of 100 de-
grees at Blackville and Florence on the
Goth and minimum Of 81 degrees at
Charleston on the 18th and at Green
vile on the Goth. It was somewhat
cooler at the close of the week. The
sunshine was normal, or slightly above,
and was highly beneficial. There were
a few local high winds, but no serious
damage was done.
There was practically no rain over
the eastern half of the State; in the
central counties there were numerous
local showers, some Of which were
heavy; there were also scattered light
showers over the western counties.
What rain fell was highly beneficial, as
it occurred in localities that needed it.
Over the greater portion OF the central
and southern counties the ground has
become very dry and rain is needed.
Where the rainfall was heavy last week
crops did exceptionally we'll, but where
1t was light last week and none fell
this week, crops suffered and general
ly deteriorated cotton by whiting under
the high temperature, and rusting,
turning yellow and shedding; corn by
firing and whiting. Cultivation made
fair progress and over large portion
OF the State crops have been laid by
although this work will not be COM
pleted for several weeks.
Cotton continued to make rapid
growth generally and has too large
weed and too little fruit over the
greater portion, while a number of re-
ports indicate that growth has stop
ped, and that the plants are blooming
to the top. There are fewer reports Of
damage from insects, and more of rust
and shedding and Of plants turning yell
low. Cotton Is beginning to open in
lower Barnwell county.
There is a general improvement in
both old and late corn, although the
former is too nearly ripe to
be greatly benefited by the recent rains
Fodder pulling has begun. Some old
corn fired" to the ears. Bottom lands
that were flooded are recovering slow
ly. The heat and insects have injured
growing tobacco. Selecting and curing
are active. Peas for forage are promis-
ing. Rice is beginning to head in the
Colleton district; June rice being cul-
tivated in the Georgetown district. Pas
tures excellent. Peaches are fairly plen-
tiful but many are rotting on the trees.
LeConte pears are .ripening. Sweet po-
tatoes and cane are doing well.

TERROR OF THE SEA.
Greatest Danger That confronts

Greatest Danger That confronts
Mariners Is the Derelict.
Of all the spectacles of the seas,
none is so tragic as the derelict, the
errant Of the trackless deep, writes
P. T. McGrath in McClure's. Weird
beyond description is the picture pre-
sented by some broken and battered
hulk, as she swings into view against
the sky line, with the turgid green
seas sweeping over her moss-grown
decks, and a splintered fragment OF
mast pointing upward, as il in protest
against her undoing. It is sight also
to arouse fear.
For the derelict is the most potent
of all the dangers that threaten the
seafarer. Silent, stealthy, invisible, it
is the terror of the mariner. It Is the
arch-hypocrite of the deep. Against
it skill of seamarship, vigilance in
watching, avail not Lights and whis-
ties, beams and buoys proclaim the
proximity Of land; the throbbing Of
engines, the noise of shipboard life
tell of an approaching vessel; icebergs
and ice foes betray>- themselves by
their ghostly radiance and surround
ing fngiddty1 OF: air. The idereNet gives
