There is tendency to Improvement
in the Atlanta district, but conditions
do not show material change. Cotton
mills are ut full capacity and new
mills are under construction. Agricul-
tural prospects are bright.
The Dallas district cotton crop will
be materially required and much of
1t probably will be held under ware
house receipts to save the market.
Live stock. lumber and oil show i'm
provement.
Boston reports optimism and be-
lief that Improvement, although slow,
may be expected New York reports
Improvement in the steel leather and
textile industries, but building opera
tions are curtailed.
The outlook in Philadelphia is said
to be uncertain. with Improvement in
other parts of the district.
The steel business in the Cleveland
district shows a decided advance and
there is better feeling among whole
salers and retailers.
In the Chicago district there are
signs of general Improvement The
1t. Louis district shows little change.
Confidence in the crop outlook is
reported from Minneapolis. The har-
vest in the Kansas City district will
be less than last year, but crop condi-
tions are good. Crop conditions in
the San Francisco district are report
ed good, but lack of bottom for ex-
port is filling warehouses and delay
ing trade activity.

NEWS FROM WISACKY.
Crop Condition Seemingly UnfnvOrabI
Little Interest i'm EIcctiOn--Eami-
lies to Move Away.

Wisacky, Aug. 3.-News is as
scarce as the rain. We are swelter-
ing with the heat, suffOcated with the
dust and if the corn crops continue
to burn, as they have done the past
week, in another week we will have
no fodder to save, and not much corn
TO harvest. The oorn crops are bad
ly injured especially young corn.
Our cotton stands the heat and dry
weather remarkably well and is
green and throwing off very little.
Peas planted in corn are a failure.
Our forage crops are promising, so
Is the potato crop. Fruit TO a great
extent is very inferior Gardens are
gone. Our people show very little in
terest in the coming election on the
question of State prohibition, and |
fear many will be prevented from
voting, for want of registration GER
tificates. Very little has been done to
arouse the people on either side for
or against the movement Those who
favor prohibition have little hopes of
removing the evil if we carry the cleo
ton. And those who oppose pro-
hibitiOn have no fear of the results
if the measure is enacted into law,
therefore the Indifference.
There was a gOOdly number of our
citizens who met in Bishopville last
week organized, elected committees,
took up collection and adjourned. l
trust the committee will bestir them
selves to awaken in the voters of

prove this opportunity to free our
State from this curse.

ABOUT SUMTERS TREES.
w. ID. Woods Calls Attention OF Value
of Giving Trees Proper Care.
Editor Daily Item.


Please allow the writer space to
most heartily endorse the articles,
which have recently appeared in your
columns. urging the citizens to take
an interest in the trees of the city
and to contribute something for their
care and for the planting of others.
The writer is we'll acquainted with
the condition of the trees in Sumter
the beauty and comfort they afford
and no work or expense ought to be
spared for their preservation. The
city is growing and provision ought
to be made for the systematic plant
ing OF trees in all the places where
there are none growing. 1t Is more
than probable that city and town in
the State has spent enough money in
planting out trees to have every street
well supplied with them but the trou-
BILE is that the money has been prac-
itchllv thrown aawav by ignorance in
putting out trees tnat were O. worth
less varieties and when the right va
rietics were used lnuug them IN
he wrong way, " no attention TO
proper Spacing vi anything ciSc, 80
far as the future was concerned. The
planting and care of trees is a busi-
ness or profession of itself, and any
knowledge of it can only be gained by
years of study and experience. Trees
are often planted and after the lapse
OF some years found practically
worthless and then, Of course, it Is
seen that both time and money has
been thrown away. and that it would
have been cheaper to have hired the
services. of an expert. In fact no
tree ought to be put out on the street
unless the work Is superintended by
some competent man who is employ
ed by the city for this purpose, for it
is of the utmost importance that
thcre should be uniformity in the
planting, If the best results are TO be
expected. If street is ten miles long
1t ought to have the same variety of
trees for hte whole distance, placed at
a uniform distance apart and then
properly cared for, instead of, as is
usually the case. being allowed to look
out for themselves. Trees that receive
proper attention will never have any
| holes or rotten places on them.
The writer earnestly trusts that ar
rangements can be perfected that will
| make 1t possible to put out d great
| many young trees in the fall, but the
trouble is to arouse public sentiment
to the point of backing the Civic
League and the individual citizens
who are so anxious to provide for the
future beauty of the city
Beauty has financial aspect, but
very few people recognize this and
think that everything is useless that
can't be converted into money. The
people Of Sumter are noted for their
liberalty in contributing to worthy
objects and the writer earnestly
trusts that they will make Il generous
the trees. and i'm this way very large
ly enhance the beauty of their city.
