WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

The crop outlook in York county is
unusually good just now, according to
Mr. John r. Blair, county demonstra-
tion agent, who Is pretty familiar with
conditions in all sections. Mr.. Blair
was in Yorkville yesterday and when
questioned about the situation, gave
information that was quite interesting.
There have been good rains in ev-
cry section Of the county" he said, "ex-
cept Immediately around Hickory
Grove, and over in the Hoodtown
neighborhood. There have been show
ers in these neighborhoods also, but
hardly enough since cotton and corn
were planted. to interfere with satis-
factory plowing. All the territory be-
tween Yorkville and Rock Hill, and
thence on to Catawba river has had
fine rains and the same Is true Of the
country to the south toward Chester.
Bethel and Kings Mountain town
ships have more and better wheat than
all the balance Of the county together.
The straw is not quite so large In these
townships as 1t was last year; but
there is more grain.
"Oats are looking much better than
a month ago, and taking the county as
a whole they are fine. Among the best
crops | have seen are those of ]. F.
PurSley, near Glover, and Latham
Bros, of Bullock's Creek. Mr.. Pursley
has a field Of between 20 and 25 acres
that looks like 1t ought to yield up
wards of 35 bushels to the acre, and
Latham Bros, have about the same
acreage that looks rs II 1t should be
good for between 40 and so bushels.
The land was prepared well and sowed
early IN both cases. Spring oats do
not appear to be doing as we'll as US
ual.
Although some corn has been work.
ed over once, 1 have seen no cotton
that has been chopped out; but know
of quite a lot of cotton and corn that
is still to be planted. More cotton
came to a stand on Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday than during any

1t was the poorest he ever had-that
he never saw its equal for the time of

trouble. II seems. Is that they have no

prospects until there comes a real

Newport. Aug. 23.-Maurice e Nc
Loughlin of California, the idol of the
American tennis court defeated Will

straight sets in the tournament here
yesterday and left the impression
among the 1000 spectators that Nc
Loughlin is the greatest tennis player
in the country today and fit success
sor to William A Larned The latter
was a spectator of yesterdays match
and several times was noticed to shake
his head in admiration Of the all
around for2r that Mclaughlin showed.
Meeting the versatile and heavy
Clothier. himself champion in 1906,
Mclaughlin showed tennis deserving
of the crown of champion. He played
every conceivable kind of tennis and
always seemed to lave strength in re-
serve. Odds OF 5 to on him went
begging.
Clothier made 1t a real test for the
champion. playing beautiful tennis in
every game. England should be in
terested to learn that C1othier allowed
Mclaughlin practically no serving
aces. He seemed to solve the famous
hurricane serve by waiting for it tc
break before touching the ball The
score was Ga. 7-5. ga.
