CROP SITUATION IN LAURENS.
Views of Mr. J. I). Sullivan. Who Has
Traveled Over Much of (he County.
The general lateness of the crops in
Laurens county, particularly cotton, is
a subject of much concern, although
there is plenty of time, with favorable
conditions, to overcome this. Knowing
these conditions a representative of
The Advertiser obtained from Mr.
Jared I). Sullivan, special field agent of
the co-operative demonstration work
being conducted in ibis county, some
views on the crop situation. Mr. Sulli
van is in position to know what he is
talking about, having traveled over
much of the county since the planting
season opened.
He says up to the 15th of the present
month that the prospect for a normal
cot ton crop was very poor. The crop
is late, bad stands in mail) sections and
replanting has been necessary. The
cold weather ten days ago caused much
to die, while 0:1 certain soils unsatisfac
tory stands of cotton were secured
from the first planting, due, Mr. Sulli
van thinks, to the method of planting
the seed too deep, lb- also finds that
the acreage is smaller ami that labor is
scarcer. Under these conditions, there
fore, a normal crop of cotton is not ex
pected.
Fairly good stands of corn have been
obtained and there is much yet to be
planted, especially on lowlands. The
farmers are, he finds, greatly inter
ested in this crop, which be regards as
oneof the most encouraging signs of the
times. Corn land has been well pre
pared, as a rule, and heavily fertilized.
Early planted corn is looking vigorous
and growing nicely.
While the small grain crop is consid
erably off in acreage, Mr. Sullivan says
fall oats are good and thai the spring
sowing yet has a chance to make a fair
yield. Hut he advises farmers to sow
oats in the fall, from the loth of Sep
tember to lbth of October.
Gardens are fairly good, but have
needed rain. Peaches and apples, in
fact all fruit crops, promise a pretty
full yield.
Woodruff Boys Defeated.
fn a very fast game at Woodruff last
Saturday afternoon the Watts mills
team defeated the Woodrull' boys, S to
I. Prom Cue very beginning it was
seen that the game would go to Watts,
and it. was a question of just by how
much.
Prince was on the slab for Watt-, ami
it was the seventh inning before a
Woodruff man reached first base, which
shows that iie was pitching some and
had the proper backing. Irby at short
and Nesbitt at second lor Watts wore
also in the game from start finish,
while Kinninglon at first and tic out
field all went like clock work. In fncl
Watts outclassed Woodruff at evorj
stage of tlie game. Swygel'l caught
his usual steady game, and bis head
work was all right.
For Woodruff tin outfield plnyedgood
ball, but. the infield blow up several
times, and Watts never failed to take
advantage; of the miscilOS.

STATE DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION MEETS
Hon. Mendel L. Smith May Presidc-ln
struction of Denver Delegates
Likely to Cause a Fight.
Columbia, May 19.?Tho State Demo*
cratic convention will be called to order
at noon tomorrow by Gen. Wilie Jones,
chairman of the State Executive com
mittee. Gen. Jones has asked Rev. K.
G. Pinlay, rector of Trinity church, to
open the proceedings with prayer.
Tho first business of the convention
will be tho roll call ot the counties and
as Gen. Jones has had prepared the list
of delegates elected there will be little
trouble in securing a proper list for the
convention, since there are no contests
in any of the counties.
Chairman Jones has designated as
temporary secretaries of the convention
Messrs. T. C. Hamer, of Marlboro, and
J. Wilson Gibbes ami George R. Koos
ter, of Columbia, all of whom have had
experience in this sort of work. Mr.
John S. Wilson, of Lancaster, sergoant
at-arms of the house, has been re
quested to act as temporary sergeant
at arms of the convention.
The convention when organized will
elect ii president and seven vice-presi
dents, one from each congressional dis
trict, three secretaries and a sergeant
at-arms. The election of four dele
Kates at large, with four alternates at
huge will bo made by the convention
and the selection of two delegates and
two alternates from each of the seven
congressional districts will be made by
the delegations from the different dis
tricts, making fourteen district dele
gates, the election of whom is ratified
by the convention.
There will be a committee on plat form
and resolutions, to which all resolut ions
and proposed platforms will be referred,
ami stiel) other committees as the con
vention may deem necessary. The con
vention, after organizing, will, if the
usual course is pursued, take a recess
until night, so that the committees may
have the afternoon in which to formu
late their reports, and it will be at the
night session that the fight over in
structions or anything eist? will come.
The selection of president of the con
vention is a very important matter, as
i he president should be one experienced
in parliamentary law and able to handle
the convention. For this reason the
name of lion. Mendel L. Smith, of
Camden, has been suggested by his
friends, Mr. Smith having been a former
speaker of the house. The name of
speaker Whaley, of Charleston, has
also been suggested, but it is not known
that Mr. Whaley will serve.
The trip to Denver is a costly and
tiresome one, but nevertheless there
an quito a number of loyal Democrats
w ho want to go to the National Con
vention as delegates from this State.
11 is taken for granted that Senator
Tillman will, as a matter of courtesy,
be elected one of the delegates at large,
i hough he will no', attend, and an al
ternate can take his place. Others
who arc active aspirants for delegates
at large are Con. Wilie Jone;; anil ('apt.
W. Bi Gonzales, of Columbia, Senator
Frank B. Gary, of Abbeville, and Cant.
II. II. Watkins, of Anderson. For ?lis
triet delegates tho following are some
of the name.-; that have been suggested:
Major J. C. Ilemphill. of Charleston,
and Senator N. Christensen, Jr., of
Beaufort; Hon. J. B. Harley, of Barn
well; Senator R. F. TownsCnd, of
Union; lion. W. F. Stevenson,of Ches
terfield, and others.

Rev. W. A. Massaboau, of Greenville.

essary to make the change.

class by Dr. R. P. Pell, of Spartan
burg.

Tho people of Laurens woro elated
ovor tho news from Washington Fridaj
to tho ofTcct thnl Iho public buildings

for a Federal building at I,aureus bad
passed i he house. Practical assurances
of the successful passage of the bill
with this item had been given some
days before, but the fact of its success
caused great satisfaction here, the llrsl
news coming in u dispatch to Mayor
Babb Friday afternoon.
Of course everybody Knew thai Con
gressman Johnson would take care of
I-aureus, and this appropriation was
secured for this city through his efforts
and the showing made by the postal
receipts. It is a very handsome thing
for Laurens and is greatly appreciated,
The building will he used for the
postotlice and its locution is already a
matter of much speculation. A number
of sites have been suggested, including
the Hall property, on Laurens street,
the Robertson hotel, Fleming ware
house lot, city opera house and others.
Of course this is all merely speculative
and it. will probably be some lime be
j fore anything at all definite is decided
upon in this mallei. The fact that Iho
appropriation has been obtained menna
that Laurens will have a nice Redend
building, and probably no one is proud
er of this than Joe Johnson himself,
