AToucH EXPERIENCE
That MIR. and Mrs. j. n. Abbott Of
This City Went Through.

Readers of the PRESS will remember the
interesting articles written for this nanar nv
mr: o. d. Abbott on the gold mines of Dutch
uuiana a snort time ago. Mr.. Abbott, at the
slne 'he articles were written, was in Port
hno' where he was visiting, and where he
soon married Miss Emma Yeaton of No. 1O3
Oongress street. After the wedding Mr..
Aopott sailed from New York in the steam
sup Aiiianca of the United States and Bra
I'll Mail Steamship Company, on July 1, and
intended to get off at Barbados to transfer
to Trinidad and from there to Surinam. The
Alliance stopped at St. Thomas July 5 for
coal, and Captain Griffith, knowing that he
had to put three of his passengers ashore at
Barbados, and knowing. also, the jealousy
that exists between the two ports on ac-
count Of their rivalry In the coaling trade,
kept his vessel in quarantine all the time she
was coaling and allowed no communication
whatever with the shore.
He left st. Thomas accordingly with a
clean bill of health and arrived at Barbados
July Is. But when he prepared to land Mr..
Abbott and his companions he was CURLY in
formed by the quarantine authorities there
that he could not land them because there
had been case of smallpox reported In st.
Thomas four weeks before. Captain Grit
fifth explained that he had not gone near,the
shore or allowed any communication, and
showed his clean bill of health signed by all
the consuls, but to no purpose. Mr.. Abbott
said he was willing to 60 into quarantine for
IA days. but the doctor said that tie place
was already full. He, however, gladly took
all the New York papers that the passen-
gers would give him, although il there had
been any danger of sickness they would
have been among the first things infected.
Finally he agreed, although the clerk of the
coaling station vigorously objected, that if
Mr.. Abbott and his friends would 20 on. to
Para and come back on the next vessel he
would let them land
This they did, coming back on the steam
ship Finance Of the same line, which left
Para on July "a, and reached Barbados four
days later. But to the great discomfort of
the travellers and to the surprise of Captain
ZolliDg, the quarantine authorities, with the
coal clerk close at their elbows, refused
again to land them, giving as excuse that
they had heard of case of smallpox in Rio
July s. As the Finance had left that port
July II and had heard nothing of the case
and had been II days on the voyage, which
is three days over the time allowed for the
incubation and showing of smallpox germs,
Captain Zolling made most vigorous tro-
test against this arbitrary action. 1t was no
use, however, and he had to bring the three
passengers back to New York. They can't
get to Surinam for at laas Of civ mnnthc nou
on account of the fever season. and are at
serious pecuniary loss thereby. They seem
to have no redress, however. as the authori-
ty of the quarantine officials in all the West
Indies is absolute.

ing on at a few places. A correspondent
at Dunn, Harnett county, reports first
new bale sold on SeptemberS 8. Cotton is
in best condition in the southern portion
of the central district, in Union, Rich
mond, Harnett and perhaps a few other
counties, where its condition is reported
as high as 90 per cent. An early frost
would iuf1ict serious injury to the cotton
crop. Tobacco has been considerably
damaged by previous rains and is not
curing so well curings will be light. In
many counties the crop is reported poor.
The corn crop has been the standby of
the farmer this year. Seeding of oats
and wheat in progress. The PROSPECTS
are for more rain the early part of the
week, becoming slightly warmer.

GOOD ENOUGH.
The News and Observer says:

1uC News anu ODS0EVCT says:
Within the next ten days the News and
Observer will appear in a new dress. A
column will be added to each page, and
the appearance of the paper otherwise
improved. We have provided ourselves
with a new outfit all around. We are
gratifed to inform readers that our
subscription list is steadily increasing,
and this applies both to the daily and
weekly editions.
The encouragement we are receiving
from all sections Of the state, and from
all classes of our felloW-citizens, is most
complimentary and substantial. We are
grateful for it. Many of our brethren of
the press have placed US under pleasant
obligations by their kind words, and have
our sincere thanks.
This is cheerful news. The News and
Observer is the democratic organ of Raj
eigh and of the state. 1t is printed at the
capital and it pays it's own bills. The
battered wreck calling itself the Chronicle
is an upstart, an interleper, and preys off
the state. We use the names which we
haze employed, because little joe daniels
once called this old man an upstart and
an inteTloper. The difference was, we
paid for our outfit kept clear of politi-
clans and have paid expenses on legiti.
mate business. Any beggar, like daniels
is and has been, becomes an upstart. The
News and Observer will be the winner
and will be the paper of Raleigh, always,
as it is to-day.

THE CROP CONDITION..

The reports of correspondents of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued by
the North Carolina experiment station
and state weather service for the week
ending Friday, September II, 1891, show
q still further decrease in the percentage
condition of the staple crops, although
the weather has not been decidedly un-
favorable during the past week. Very
little rain has fallen, which was favora-
bic for all kinds of farm work. The first
part of the week was slightly above the
normal in temperature, the latter part de-
cidedly below the average, with unfavor-
able effect on cotton and tobacco, which
have both deteriorated since the last re-
port. The condition of cotton is proba-
bly, as low as it has been at any time this
season. Shedding continues and rust is
doing considerable damage. Opening
very slowly and picking as yet only GO
