the 1911 cotton crop in South Carolina

be equally as good if not better than
last year.
No section of the State, from re-
ports, has suffered materially; but to
the contrary, in a number of counties
larger yields are indicated than I'm a
number of years.
Taking the State as a whole, the
condition up to the end of last week
indicates that the cotton crop this
year will not be off on account of the
drought that for time was feared
would materially affect the yield.
Conditions may be said at this time
to indicate 100 per cent. crop, al
though in some scattering sections
where cotton was replanted and did
not get good stand the Weld will net
he more than two-thirds or three
fourths; but in other sections from 15
TO 25 per cent. more cotton is expected
than last year.
Heavy fertilization and the unusu-
ally fine preparation of the soil, deeper
plowing and the application of new
methods is telling this season, but for
which it is safe to say that the drought
would have proved Of greater damage;
but compared with last year at this
time the crop Is in far better condi-
tion. The fields are clean, there Is no
grass, and indications are that much

working right yesterday. He threw 0

work and were very satisfactory.

SATURDAYS GAME

The islanders COPIED an interesting
game Saturday from Dubuque by a
score of 6 to s. Timely hitting coupled
with two errors by the visitors did the
business. Manager Rowland's men
easily outhit the winners, but the bin.
giles were kept pretty well scattered

the pinches held down the scores.

The directors of the club felt that
they could take that option in order
to see just how the fans stood on the
subject. Yet in some of the leading
baseball centers in the city it was de-
clared that the association had made a
great mistake, that If it were really n

charged double fare for the Sunday

to indicate that the association might
