COTTON SERIOUSLY DAMAGED.
Rains Play Havoc With Fleecy Staple
In This County.

The incessant rains for the past
two weeks have wrought havoc to the
cotton crop in this county, according
to farmers and business men with
whom we have talked. For some ten
days rain fell in torrents almost daily,
and sometimes practically all day
and night. The number of inches of
rainfall is not known here. but it
must have been something fearful.
Hundreds of acres of cotton have
been under water for days, the re-
suit of which is. according to the cot
ton planters, the cotton is practi-
cally, if not quite, dead. The low
lands suffered most from the rains.
The rains were followed by days
of hot sunshine. and this has caused
a great deal of "shedding." One
prominent planter estimates that the
crop in the county this season will
not go above 10000 bales. as COM
pared with $4,000 last season. 9th
ers estimate the crop even lower,
some stating that there will not be
more than one-third of an average
crop harvested.
The voluntary reduction in cotton
acreage in the county is variously es-
timated. While the pledge cards Sc
cured from the farmers at the be-
ginning of the season indicated that
there had been a reduction of abou
one-fourth, later estimates greatly
reduce the acreage cut. But the un-
favorable cotton weather that has
prevailed this season has served to
reduce the acreage perhaps to as
great if not greater extent than at
first estimated. Acres upon acres
have been abandoned because of
grass and inability to cultivate. On
top of this, the crop has been un-
doubtedly seriously damaged by the
rainfall, which means that nothing
like an average crop can possibly be
hoped for.

FARMERS SELLING TOBACCO.
Prices Prove Disappointing to the
Planters of the Weed.

A great deal of tobacco has been
shipped from Bamberg county with
in the past two weeks to the markets
of the Piedmont section. The prices
received have proved very disappoint-
ing to the farmers here. and it is not
likely that very large dividends will
be realized by the tobacco growers
this season. 1t appears that the very
good grades Of tobacco are selling
for a fancy price, while the lower
grades are scarcely wanted by the
buyers at any price. The prices re-
ceived by local growers have ranged
from four cents pound to so cents.
The average for the earlier pickings
ranged from II cents to 20 cents.
While these prices are much lower
than those received last season, it
is yet likely that where good crops
were made handsome profit will be
realized, as the earlier pickings are
usually low grades, or "sand lugs. "
Tobacco marketed hereafter will COM
mand much better prices and will
doubtless carry the average price to
a considerably higher figure.
A carload of the weed was shipped
from here this week. No returns on
this tobacco have been received yet,
but better average prices are expect
ed. It has been Calculated, accord
ing to one local plante", that the cost
of growing tobacco this year is about
12 cents pound. If this estimate is
correct, there is no cause for alarm
on the part of the growers here; as,
even at that price, it is likely that
more profit will be made on tobacco
than on cotton.

TRESTLE CLOSED.
No Trains Have Passed Over The Ed
isto Sine Monday Morning.

On account of the unprecedented
high water Of the Edisto river. traf-
fic over the Southern railway cross
ing at Embree was closed Monday
morning. No trains have crossed the
Edisto at this point since. The river
had begun to recede. when the break
ing of a large dam in Orangeburg
county caused the river to rise again
about a foot. This last food of water
made it impossible to keep the rail
way crossing in safe condition, and all
attempts to cross the river were aban-
doned Monday until after the water
sufficiently recedes to allow the tres
tie to be repaired. Water was over
the track in many places.
At present the trains are backed
from Blackville to Embree, which is
just this side of the Edisto. No mails
or passengers have been transferred
across the river as yet.
Up to Monday a large gang Of
workmen worked constantly to keep
the crossing in a safe condition for
the trains to cross the river, but the
terrific force of the onrushing waters
after the breaking of the dam wash
ed away all materials as fast as they
could be placed in the river.

rIf thu latter. were successful" he
said, ''the police forces of every city and

lied In sixty days. Unionization of the
soldiers and sailors would be logical

Government.
UNLESS some branch of the Govern

accomplish nothing toward solving the

Notwithstanding that President VIII

Myers urged enactment of legislation
