"Again 1 assure you that I feel certain ot your willing cooperation In the way of throwing every proper safeguard around these unfortunate people." Dr. Hayne had informed the governor of the case of a young white prisoner from Fairfield county who nearly died from heat exhaustion. "His life was saved only because a widow of the neiehborhood furnished a drink of whiskey to revive, the poor fellow and to stimulate him," the health officer COLUMBIA. July 11.

Apparently, high-reading temperatures have come for an unwelcome stay to keep residents sweltering and farms suffering from a partial drought.

Yesterday's temperature began, oddly enough, with the comparatively low reading of 78 at 8 o'clock in the morning. By 12:30 in the afternoon, the mercury had slowly climbed and reached 93, 5 degrees less than the same hour's reading Thursday.

At the trial of the case, the jury found for the plaintiff yesterday's decision by Judge Maul BEANS nt, out also substantiates predictions of the local weather bureau for heat sustained in duration and intensity.

The week-end will be climatically the same, and as a result, the city's population will become sadly depleted as residents will rush to the mountain and resorts for a gasp of refreshing coolness. Those unable to leave the city will continue to look for cool, reviving shadows and retreats. WILL HURT CROPS Continuation of high temperatures, authorities say, will be ruinous to Greenville county crops. While cotton In its hardy growth has not appreciably suffered, other i'ops are gradually becoming burnt and lifeless, and an increasing anxiety is noticeable among farmers. Nevertheless, the mercury persistently maintains its high marks, and meanwhile hope Is being held that showers, even though light, will bring the saving moisture.

But the weather will remain unchanged, as G. C. Merchant, local weather observer, looks for brief, If any, respite. Labor Officials Endorse D. R.

Cain At a recent meeting of the Greenville Central Trades and Labor council a resolution endorsing the candidacy of Daniel R. Cain for the House of ReDre-ientatives was Introduced and approved, according to J. L. Sowers, president of the body. In commenting on the endorsement.

Mr. Sowers said: "Several of the members of the Central Trades and Labor council have worked for the past eteht years with Mr. Cain in the comoosing room of the Greenville Piedmont, and we have known him tntlmafelv durine that time.

"It takes too long for a case to go through the ordinary channels, several years often elapsing before a criminal, Darticularly murderers, are brought to trial. Judges, lawyers, and others find it too easy to postpone trial in a case, and ear fcime it costs the government money.

This is a needless expenditure, and machinery needs considerable pepping up."
