North Carolina Crops.

The crops rep ort for the week just
ended shows that the weather has
been remarkably fine. No rain fall
anywhere and every day was bright
and warm. The excess in tempera-
ture for the week averaged over six
degrees, while the rainfall was def
Gent about 100 inches.
Cotton is opening rapidly and pick
ing has become general. The leaves
are beginning to fall, enabling the
sunshine to reach the bolls and open
them. The crop is from three to five
weeks late.
|, The weather has been excellent for
harvesting work of all kind. Rain is
needed to enable farmers to prepare
land for wheat and oats, of which q
larger quantity than usual will be
seeded this year. The prospects are
for continued warm weather, no frost
being probable next week. The pre-
sent condition of crops is as follows
Eastern district, cotton u, corn SO
tobacco 80. Central district, cotton
70, corn SO, tobacco 70. Western
district, cotton "a, corn 81, tobacco
85. For the State, cotton rs, corn
81, tobacco 80. One hundred and
| ten reports were received.

a Friendly Hand After Profession.

Mr.. Norman remarked in his Sun
days sermon that it was often the
case that man in church might
be almost persuaded to give his
heart to God, yet he needed the
touch Of a friendly hand, the admo-
milton of friendly. voice to move him
to this resolution. We might add
here and we think it pertinent to DO
so, he still needs that friendly hand
to guide him, that friendly voice to
admonish him after he has become a
member of the church. It is so Of
ten the case that after a young man
joins the church resolved to lead a
better life he is thrown in contact
with old associates and starts down
grade again. He has not the
strength within him to stop and
longs for the touch Of a friendly
hand; but the friendly hand don't
come; the friendly voice IS heard
but it is in the distance making re
marks about how the fellow is goin g
to the bad. This is why so many
men fail in leading christian lives
and turn back to the flesh pots of
Egypt. They need help to enable
them to stand.

FORSYTH TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
ItOpened Monday Morning Under Fai
vorable Conditions.

vorable Conditions.
The Forsyth County Teachers In
stitute was opened by Professors AL
derman and McIver Monday morning
with forty teachers present.
Professor Alderman addressed the
teachers, at length, detailing in gen
eral the program for the week and
speaking of the fundamental princi-
pals that should be adopted in the
organization, government and teach
ing of public schools. He laid great
stress upon the teacher-the necessi-
ty of affability and courtesy toward
their pupils and of the Importance
and the dignity of the profession.
He instructed in the organization
and government of school-of de-
votional exercises at the opening and
of the manner to become disciple
marian of influence, at the same time
loved and,, respected by the pupils. No
remarks could:have' been more appro-
pirate, more highly essential to the
occasion or more benehcent to the
teachers.
Supt. Butner arranged the roll and
Prof. W. A. Blair, at the request of
Prof. Alderman, addressed the teach
ers, extending them a cordial vel
come to the city, inviting them on
behalf of Superintendent CitySchools
to visit the North and West Winston
Schools while here and observe the
the mode of teaching The Institute
met again this afternoon at 2:3O at
which exercises in the common school
branches were dealt with in order.
There is nothing, perhaps, more
instructive and more benefcent to
county school teachers, than these
Institu: es. They add dignity to the
profession and stimulates the teachers
to rent red zeal in their work, giving
them a; the same time better ideas
and better notions as to their labor
and the efforts they should employ
in making their sch ools a success.
It is hoped that every teacher in the
county will drop in at the Institute
this week and especially the young
ladies and gentlemen who anticipate
entering the profession. Professors
Al. .nan and McIver are practical
to-. : OF many years and they
kA. ;, !, " to instruct those, certain
ly, that have had less experience.
The lecturing system is unquestlon-
ably the best in the world and by
strict adherrance to what is being
said and done in the Institute this
week will be worth to the teachers
what weeks would be in the ordinary
text book Institution, for the accom-
plishment Of their specific work.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Tobacco Maturcd and Cotton Pros
poets Improved.

Dun's weekly review of trade says:
With extraordinary favoring weather
tobacco as well as corn has matured
and the cotton prospects has much
improved. But while stocks were
active and rising until Thursday,
there came that day a surprising
break in Missouri Pacific and Union
Pacific, with rumors that the reor-
ganization of the latter would be de-
feated and that Missouri Pacific
would Indefinitely postpone its divi-
dend, so that this stock fell about 10
per cent.
Money became closer, notwith-
standing the arrival and considerable
further shipment of gold from
Europe. The impression prevailing
that some large lenders would pro-
duce a temporary artificial pressure.
None of the disturbances threaten to
effect the general prosperity which
the enormous crops now promise,
and the failure of a house of extra
ordinary repute and strength to sus-
tain the price of corn is at once
proof of the general prosperity.
/ Reports from other cities indicate
the continuance of the general i'm
provement in trade.
An improvement is seen at Gal
weston at New Orleans, wheat and
cotton are slightly advanced and rice
is steady, and at Savannah, where
the cotton receipts are heavy.
Reports as to the money markets
are generally favorable, but very
active at New Orleans. Collections
are very good almost everywhere.
The great industries are doing
well. In cotton goods buying is
larger than for years in many lines.
The earnings of the railroads arr
good. Enormous crops are moving
and the Trunk Line rates eastbouno
are to be- advanced 2sc by the Asso
| citation.
The business failures during the
past week number, for the United
States 21O, Canada 81. Total "a
failures, compared with 239 las

riny.one Acce..ions to the Church

Fifty.Oue Acces.iOns to the Church.
Fifty one people joined the Cente-
nary NJ. E. church Sunday-six by
letter and forty,6ve by profession of
faith. Pastor W. C. Norman re-
marked, after reading the list Of
names over. that it was the largest
number of people he had eve, seen
join the church at any one ffmes be-
fore. Mr.. Norman has been hold
ing protracted meeting in. heSGen-
/, tenary church, for the past two
weeks, and every night during that
time the church has been filed with
people--in fact no such congrega-
tons have been seen in the church
since the great Evangelist Pearson
was here. =
There has been no excitement,
the meetings have gOne. On. IN a
smooth and even sort of way. t:bht
the undercurrent ofsincerity has been
strong and with its tide went out
the hearts of the great ma sses.. There
| was touch of earnestneSs that. per.
vaded the entire assemblage. Mr.
Norman is to be congratulated upon
the result of his labors; it's q rich
harvest of souls he gathers into the
church and tells palmer than any
other language could of the deep
| piety and sincerity of this man Of
God.
We might mention, in connection
with this that this is Mr.. Norman
last year with us, and it is now near
ing the close of. this last year, and a.
the time draws near for his depart
ure there is a feeling Of profount
regret that prevails-not only hi
ccngregation-bu this entire com
munity over his leaving. He is nov
closing his fourth year with us whicl
is the limit permitted by the N
G. Methodist Conferences matte
so much to be regretted in case o
this kind. Mr.. Norman has grown
nearer and nearer our people eacl
succeeding year until he seems
member of each household, helping
us bear our burdens, sharing GU
sorrows and rejoicing at our pros
perity and happiness. We can onl
wish that his lot may be cast anon
| people who will love and respec
him as ours have done. We ar
quite sure Mr.. Norman viii ask fo
no more. =

A~rested for Horse Stealing.

A negro named Mack Reed was
arrested here last week upon a var
rant from the Sheriff of Randolph
county charging him with stealing g
horse in that county few days ago.
Mack VOWS that he did not COMMIT
the theft; that he traded his horse to
a white man for mule with the, un-
Outstanding that if the mule did not
prove all o. K. the trade was not to
be valid. The mule was a kicker
rs well as failure all around. Mack
says, and in accordance with the
trade, he took the mule back to the
mans house, and, finding no one at
home, he took his horse from the
pasture and left the mule in it's
place.
