C, August The week ending
Saturday, August 'lid, was
more favorable for crona ami espec
ially for farm work thau any since
the middle erf July. The first two
days of the week continued warm,
but on the 18th very beneficial rains
occurred at a large number of places,
following which the. temperature
dropped below the normal, with
some agreeably cool nights. The
rain-fall was not sufficient to break
the drought generally, but caused
aome improvement in the crop conditions.
Eastern District. Past week was
favorable. Good rains occurred on
sjveral dates, chiefly on the 18th,
but small in amount, and were fol
lowed by several agreeably cooler
days. Late corn, peas, turnips and
potatoes were beue6ted. The ex
tent to which cotton has been cut
o3 over the State is variously esti
mated from one-fourth to one-half.
Cotton is opening rapidly and will
all be picked out by the middle of
of October. It needs more rain to
mature bolls, though rain would
probably not causa any new bolls to
form. Early corn came through all
right, but late is poor, though aided
by showers this week. Fodder is
nearly all polled in south. Curing
tobacco about finished. Making
sorghum yrnp has begun. Rains
brought out turnip seeds and further
planting is progressing. Peas are
forming frnit fairly; rice and sweet
potatoes are still very good; peanuts
suffered considerably from the
drought.

Tbe wtather lias been as favorable as

But the seigc is not yet ended, for there

This has been the best we--k for the far

pressing, turnios and fill potatos were
gentrallj planted. A nice tain this week
has helpid 'vegetation very much and
gras9 has taken a Dew start, we nmy get
s rue good hay yet, but the extremes of
wet and dry have seriously hindered it till
this week.
Old corn is good but late corn is gener
ally poor, peas are not bearing lull yet
but vine? are growing well. Cotton is
very much hurt, some stalks have lost
halt their fruit und it seems now that 2j
per ctnt is a moderate estimate of loss to
1 1 at crop. Well a sevrn million bale
crop is worth as much as a ten million
crop and costs hss to gather it.
We have passed through the heated
term with very I'm!, damage to health in
our midt, only v.ne c:.se ot serious huit,
an old colored man has been partially
paralized and speechless for more than
two weeks supposed to e caused from

Speed and Safety.
It ia a curious fact that the rail
way systems, in England and in thi;
country that inn their trains at
highest htHX'il have fewest accidents.
These .same roads have much fewer
fatalities and injuries to persons to
account for now than they did ten
or twenty' years aero.
The British bo;inl of trade returns
show that while a speed of sixty to
1 seventy milis an hour is
maintained
daiiy ty many trains, mishaps are
rare, compared to those of twenty
i years ti ijo It is, moreover, proved
'that with the steady increase of
-peei
and more numerous trams.
tne saterv or 1 11 . average nasseneer
has become far greater. Another
popular misconception was also cor
rected. It is generally believed that
the high speed of express trains un
nerves the drivers of the locomotives
and brings on various maladies, be
sides rendering them unfit for the
strain of the work after ;i compara
tively she rt term of service. This
view is not supported by facts. One
of the best o3omotive drivers in
England has been at the throttle
over fifty years, and can be trusted
! any day with the fastest train in
j the country. Sir Henry Oakley, the
general manager of the Great Nor-
them railway, on which probaly ;
higher average rate of speed is main
tamed than on any other English
railway, says that of sixty men who
were driving express trains reg
ularly in 1S8G forty three are still at
j their posts. Of the rest only five
have died, all from acute diseases
hernia, pneumonia, etc., one being
killed by an accident, the others
having retired. It is doubtfu
whether better prospects are enjoyed
by sixty men of the same ae engra-
ged in any other responsible occu
nation, It is further stated that no
confirmation can be obtained of the
view that habitual travelers suffer
from vibration caused by high
speed, and this immunity is attribu
ted to the comfortable fittings of
even third-class cars on most rail
roads in England.
These statements all apply to the
great east and west and north and
south trunk lines of the country.
New York Central, Pennsylvania,
Illinois Central, and others. The
greater safety of high speed lines
comes from their more scientific
construction and thorough manage
ment. Sach a road must be as near
absolute perfection as possible to
make it. It must be handled by the
best talent iu the business, regard
less of wages and salaries. Of course
there is a limit to speed, fixed by
natural laws, but we have abuntant
proof that speed and danger are not
synonymous terms, by any means.
The movement in Great Britain
for lower speed to secure greater
safety is in reality for the purpose
of redu?ing cost of operation.
And the notion that the strain on
engineers and trainmen is severe on
high-speed trains is disposed of by
statistics which prove the reverse.
A man of good health and habits is
hardened and toughened by such
work, rather than weakened.

African Carriers.
Caravan roads in Africa are nar
row paths for marching in single
file through long grass that cuts like
a knife, or through woods; the
natives indistinctively know when
they are passing under thorn trees;
they slow their pace, as the path is
always strewn with thorns. In the
dry season the carrier covers him
self with a cotton rag and sleeps in
apparent comfort in a temperature
and uncer conditions which would
compel the white man to cover him
self with a pair of blankets A car
rier, as a rule, has a few cobs of
of corn or pouch of flour of mapira
pr maize wrapped around his waist
in his loin cloth; he has besides this
always a stock of snuff in an empty
cartridge case or little gourd; the
snuff is composed of powdered to
bacco, the ashes ol aromatic leaf, and
seeds of the castor oil plant. Men,
vomen, and children incessantly
take snuff. Only a few persons
smoke, and then not a long smoke.
but a few violent draws, which they
inhale into their lungs until they
are to an extent stupefied. This ap
plies to all the' people in this part of
the world.
Some of the carriages have a small
mat to sit on or to lie on at night,
or to cover themselves with in case
of rain, and some have a side of a
biscuit tin with a handle fixed to it.
The tin is turned up at the sides,
forming a kind of flat dish, and
popcorn is made on this. This is
the favorite way of eating dry corn.
When the corn is green it is toasted,
boiled, or sttame 1 by being baked in
the husk. The carrier sometimes
has little pockets of dried fish or
paste of baked ants, but he is quite
a nabob if he possesses such luxuries.
He will take a load weighing fifty
pounds; sometimes he carries the
load on his head with a ring of reeds
as a pad for his head. He always
carries a stick, so that when the load
is on one shoulder he can pass the
stick over the other shoulder and
under the load, so that the labor is
divided. The Century.
