THE CLOSING CAMPAIGN.
Candidates Addressed the largest
Crowd of the County Campaign.

From The Daily Item, August 81
The county campaign which was
held in the court house today closed
the county campaign. 1t was the
most largely attended Of the meet
ings, the court house being crowded
TO the doors. The speakers were all
on their metal and while covering the
same ground as heretofore, made
probably the best speeches they have
yet delivered.
DR.. Ray. who Is opposing Congress
man Lever, made decidedly his best
effort today. His criticism of Mr..
Levers lumber vote was close-cut
and he made a logical presentation of
his own view Of the duty of a
congressman to abide by the letter
OF the platform.
Mr.. Lever made about his usual
speech, except that he devoted a part
of his time to caustive criticism Of
the Columbia State for it's refusal to
print his defense of his course in con-
gress in voting for the tariff on lum-
ber, although The State had printed
column after column Of biased criti-
cism of his vote. This defense was
embraced in a speech he made at the
campaign meeting in Columbia last
Saturday night, and he had furnish
ed the reporters Of The State with a
typewriter copy Of the speech.
Mr.. Lever briefly stated his reason
for voting for the lumber tariff, and
closed with the request that the
people vote for him on his record. He
thanked the people of Sumter for all
they had done for him In the past. It
being dinner time when Mr.. Lever
commenced and the crowd beginning
to disperse. 1t was decided to adjourn
the meeting until after dinner, at
which time the candidates for the
House Of Representatives and others
who had not spoken at the morning
session, made their speeches.

COTTON CROP CONDITIONS.

cipitatiOn Was of Local Benefit
OklahOma's Progress Good.

Memphis, Tenn. Aug. 2S.-The cot-
ton crop situation will be sumnar,-
zed thus by The Commercial-Ap-
peal tomorrow morning:
1T is evident that the recent rain
fall in Texas has been of scattered
and of local benefit, the precipita-
ton being too light in most cases
to relieve the drought. In central
and southern parts of the State bolIs
are opening Very rapidly and almost
the entire crop, unless rain falls soon,
VIII very shortly be ready for the
plckers. The yield promises some
what better than last year, however
Inc crop in northern counties is
good. Oklahoma's prospect con-
tinues excellent, a record production
being indicated.
I'm other States returns do not
average quite so favorable as during
the preceding four weeks The rain
fall has been unevenly distributed
and there are places where shedding
is complained of, the serious COM
plant coming from southern and
central Alabama. The crop in Lou
siana and southern Mississippi will
not be increased beyond its present
promise because of the activity of
the boil weevil.
In all Eastern and Central States
where rain has fallen in the past
two weeks reports are good and there
are some fine crops The plant gen
orally has fruited we'll, but a late
frost is needed for maturing every
thing in sight AS a rule cotton is
opening slowly, but the fruit is be-
ginning to mature more rapidly than
heretofore.

general characterization difficult.

COTTON MARKET Dull.
Condition Figures Are q Paramount
Issue and the Trade is Uncertain
in Regard to Them.

New Orleans, Aug. 2S.-This week
tfe market is liable to be rather a
duh affair. In the first place the
Old season will end on Wednesday
and the trade will be anxious TO know
all about the statistics of the OLD
crop before entering extensively into
commitments in the new, and in the
second place the end of the markat
week will come on Friday because
Of Labor Day. On Friday the gov
ernment's report on the condition
OF the crop on August 25, will be is
used and with such an important re-
port right at the weekend and fol-
lowed by the triple holiday traders
VIII hardly care to do much new busi-
ness but rather will even up their ac-
counts.
AS is generally the case. the trade
does not know what to expect for
the old crop statistical totals. The
crop itself may be larger or smaller
than generally expected and surprises
may be found in spinners takings or
In the on hand figures. Toward the
end Of each season, the amateur
statlsticians are rather apt to say little
for the figures from Hester. which
are rather likely to upset estimates
from people who are inclined to
lean one way or another in the fu-
ture market. With the statistics of
the old crop at hand, the trade will
know where it stands, which is a
very good reason for waiting until
the figures are out before beginning
large operations.
AS yet the trade does not know
what to expect in the way of con-
dition figures A month ago the con-
dition of the crop was put at 1876
per cent. Of the normal. Bears have
not said much about what they ex-
pect yet, but 1t is very probable that
the bureaus that lean toward the
short side will come out early in the
week with claims of a percentage Of
at least 76. Such claims would be
based on improvement in the crops
of the State in the central and cas-
tern portions of the belt. The bulls
will probably claim a loss of from
to points, perhaps more, although
even the bulls have been impressed
with the good accounts from Missis-
sippi. Alabama and Georgia. This
coming condition report is important
for it will form the basis Of the first
serious crop estimate of the season.
1t Is now approaching time for such
guesses and they will be soon issued,
and while a guess is a guess, esti-
mates Of the yield from prominent
and responsible houses always have
some effect on the market.
The movement of new cotton will
be feature Of great Importance this
week, for from it 1t may be learned
the attitude of farmers toward the
market. The trade is convinced that
If the movement keeps up at the rate
it has it will exert severe pressure
on prices; If it falls off this week il
will be taken as proof that farmers
are sharing the same view and are
marketing with more caution and
Judgment. The future market will
have tendency to follow the spot
