J. Watson, commis? si sioner agriculture, yesterday. "Tho acreage this year was at ast per cent In advance of that last year, and the yield per acre this year was exceptionally large. The farmers experienced little difficulty last fall In gathering the cotton crop, which was small in comparison With that of the previous year. The weath? er was mild, and when the cotton picking season closed earlier than us-; ual, the farmers lost no time in put? ting In heavy crops of grain.

Then the month of May was particularly I suitable for small grains. All these things taken together enabled South Carolina to produce a 'bumper' crop of wheat, oats and rye. The thing for the farmers to do now is to BOW the stubble land in peas." John McGee and Serena Green were lined $10 each in the Magis? trate's court Momlay for lighting.
