Cotton In South Carolina.
Columbia, 8. C. August IB. The heat
and drought of tbe past 17 daya have
ioae great damage to crops in Soulb
Carolina. During that period the least
maximum temperature recorded" was 98
legretts.- The average temperature was
101 degrees in the ahaJe.
The heaviest loss falls on cotton plan
ters. Allowing a falling off of 10 per
cent, on so average yield the loss
Will be 100,000 bales, or $4,100,000. The
loss on other crops will make the total
$9,000,000.
Cotton fields are as white as they gen
erally are late In September. More than
bait the open bolls are unmatured, hav.
Ing been burst open by the heat. The
lint Is without value. .. . Many of the
plants arc dying. Nothing can save
tbe farmers from the . loss snstalned,
but rains will, start tbe cotton plants
to blossoming again, and .late frosts
would permit the the new bolls formed
to mature. ; . . , ? ', . . iy .. ..
