WHAT GENTRY's OWNER SAYS.
Mr.. l. Banks Holt Attributes His De-
feat to His Bad Condition, but Feels
no Doubt that He Is Great Horse.

Mr. Il DdHhs NUT AttiDutcs II rs Dt~
feat to His Bad Condition, but Feels
no Doubt that He Is a Great Horse.
Mr.. L. Banks Holt, Of Graham, N. c.,
and the owner of John r. Gentry, said
a few days ago concerning his famous
stallion that he had noted with pleasure
the very complimentary article in re-
cent issue of the NEWS AND OBSERVER,
together with the cuts of the
horse and the accounts of the
race. He seemed much panied when
he learned that Gentry had been de-
feated in Chicago. However" con-
tinued Mr.. Holt, Ibis condition at the
time was not the best, and there is no
doubt but that Gentry is yet great
horse, and feel that there is a posi-
bility for him to reduce his record before
the season shall come to a close. ?
Concerning the Fleetwood contests
which came off after the conversation
herein related, Mr.. Holt said: 1T will
certainly be one Of the grandest and
most holly contested races the country
has ever witnessed, and Gentry will be
among the first, If not the first How
ever, think is hardly possible for him
to win, as his condition is not yet to
par
How we'll Mr.. Holt knew his horse is
evidenced by the above, and how truly
he has spoken is evidenced by the unan-
unity with which he is endorsed here
abouts by those who know the doings
and the ways of distinguished racers.

Capt. oke. He was a big man-big in
brain, big in heart and big in statue
and one Of the most loyable men | ever
knew. Warmhearted and generous, he
made no enemies, but retained as his
friends even those who differed with
him. He ardently loved the Democratic
party, and at a heavy pecuniary
sacrifice, led it, as Chairman Of the State
Committee, to victory on two occasions.
He gave to the party much more than he
ever got from it.
His death will make sad many
heart IN North Carolina, and the lowly
homes VIII contain the sincere mourners
because he loved the plain people and
they loved him. The death of no son of
the State would cast a greater gloom
over the people. To me his death is a
great blow"
Said Mr.. Armistead Jones: 81 have
known Col. Coke since 1875, and he was
the very soul of honor in all the walks of
life. He was as frank and candid in
political matters as in any other, very
firm and positive when he believed he
was right and did not hesitate to go for
ward in any undertaking when he was
satisfied that he was right. A warm
and sincere friend of a cheerful DISPOSE
ton, and ever ready to serve a friend.
He was endowed with superior mind
and entertained broad views l regard
him as a great loss to the State
Mr.. A. B. Andrews, Vice President
of the Southern railway said: 81 have
known him for twenty years. We were
warm friends. He was a genial COM
panion, devoted to his friends as we'll as
to the state, and always ready to serve
them when in bis power The State has
lost noble man.
The beauty of the character of Gotta
vius Coke was not that of the vine that
clings, its lines were not Of the tendril
kind. He did not depend. He stood. He
did not culver against the breath of cri-
ses; he was strong against storm. His lines
were those of the oak. He had the
Irregularities of greatness, but as a whole,
he was symmetrical in his strength. In
his main tendency, he was big, and
gnarled and fashioned for resistance. In
the higher branches of his life be was ten
der, and versatile, voiceful with vitality
There was noon-time in the constant
suggestion of the man. His body was
fashioned for the wear of public cares.
He was of great physical power, a man
of blood and bone and body that
rally other men. His face was brusque
almost in its manliness, with an eye of
tender blue, quick moving with humor
and perceptions of distinction ''Comel"
was written over the Threshold of his
heart. The anecdote Of the man was
simply the lawn play of the sunshine of
his nature: it was but a fringing Of the
intensity, the courage, the warmth, the
passion, of his personality turned upon
the growth Of a principle be loved.
But he sinks out Of 9igpt. and those
who look upon the twilight tints only,
but feel still the after glow Of high
noon heart that is set these do but
wonder.

AUGUST CROP CONDITIONS.
The General Conditions Remain AbOu
as Indicated in July.


as Indicated in July.
The North Carolina Department Of
Agriculture, will publish next week in
the August Bulletin the following
summary Of the condition of the crops
in this State compiled from data sent in
ty the 900 correspondents during the
month
1t will be noted that some improve
ments are reported, but the general con
dltion remains about as indicated in
July, The climatic conditions since the
July report have been in the main en-
tirely favorable, over the State, and
this fact has relieved to some extent
apprehensions on the part of some far
mers, INDUCED month ago But, as
to conditions; perhaps
RICE
shows the least progress; indeed it is re-
ported IL of a point below its July
record, which was 81 1-2, but there is
time yet for this crop to come out.
CORN.
This crop has improved Stree last re.
port about four points, standing now at
50. In this report it is but fair to ad-
NIT that it is a normal condition. Some
authorities think the prospect above nor
NAL In addition to the question as to
condition of the crops, it was asked what
acreage had been seeded, compared with
average years, and the gratifying re-
turns, indicated by 1903 40, shows that
larger planting has characterized this
year, which means that our people are
going back to the old and safe methods
of long ago-raising home supplies.
COTTON.
This crop, reported last month at rs;
the Washington report made it "A ; and
now for August the returns make "A Ia
as the average condition. This persist
emily low average for condition, forces
the conviction that the crop will be short
for the amount of land in cultivation,
and also short in the number of acres
seeded, as indicated in the first report of
this seasons crops.
TOBACCO.
Here again we have the same condi.
ton reported for August as obtained in
July SO. This condition is hard to ex-
plain, as some sections report the crop
fully normal, and there has been no
complaint from any particular region
no cause is attributed to reduce the gen
eral average to so low figure. AS to the
acreage planted, it is reported at Oh
V r. nearly ormal.
FIELD PEAS
This crop is represented in figures at
SO. The condition seems remarkably
low, and no complaint Of any kind is re-.
ported to account for it.
SWEET POTATOES
The present condition of this valuable
crop is stated at S112 Low as this
appears, we anticipate no want in this
direction.
PEANUTS
are reported at IS, which gives promise
of fair crop.
SORGHUM
is reported a little better, SIS 4, which
is not far from the exact condition.
CABBAGE.
This valuable crop is reported, present
condition, at 80, which is about normal.
IRISH POTATOES.
The condition of the late planted crop
is reported at 81 13 This crop should
receive more attention from our farmers.

Rosenthal some years ago, and as soon as
he became convinced that the watch had
belonged to Mr.. Shaw he went to Mr..
Rosenthal for an explanation.
Mr.. Rosenthal took the watch and re-
funded the money. He said he had pur-
chased II from Charles Nuss, the con-
tractor, and the latter when seen said he
had bought il from a gambler in the Occur
q Alenes IL years ago. He named the man
from whom he had bought il and it hap
pened TO be the very man Mr.. Shaw had
suspected of the theft. The man has been
in Butte for several years. Recently he
left for the east and il is said he is now
in Chicago.
Mr.. Shaw demanded the watch from
Rosenthal on Saturday, but the latter re-
fused to give it up, and the suit TO recover
II or its value was commenced to-day. A
writ of replevin was issued. but even then
Rosenthal refused to give the watch up,
but gave bond to the sheriff to cover the
amount sued for.
