COTTON OUTLOOK BETTER.
But in Many Sections Rotting and Rust
Have Been Caused by Rain

The crop report for North Carolian
issued yesterday by the Weather Bureau
for the week ending Monday, September
18TH says:
During the week ending Monday
September 18th, 1898, there occurred a
decided change in the weather cOndi-
tions, making the week close very fa-
yorably. Rains continued to and includ-
ing Thursday, the Sth. Needless to say
that the rainfall was unnecessary and
continued to damage crops, causing
rotting of corn, and cotton bolls, injur-
ing fodder and otherwise damaging crop
prospects. But since Thursday fair
weather has prevailed, with more sun
shine. especially in the central portion
of the State. The temperature remained
above normal to the Sth, followed by a
decided change to cooler, which con-
tinued, with temperatures below normal,
the last five days. The latter part of the
week. therefore, has been decidedly
more favorable for harvesting, fall
blowing and other farm work. and,
though the change has come too late to
cause any material improvement in grow
ing crops, it will favor the ripening of
fodder, and fall seeding. Country roads
continue to be i'll poor condition.
Some correspondents state that the
outlook is now favorable Gf dry weather
continues for a large crop of cotton.
but the majority continue to report dam
age by rotton and rust, which seems to
be causing premature opening in many
sections Cotton which opened during
the rainy spell is badly stained and of
poor grade. The top crop is short, but
in some sections the plants are still
heavily fruited. Though opening rapid
ly now the crop is late; picking has be-
come more active and viii be pushed
rapidly during the fair season. Cutting
and curing tobacco is approaching COM
pletion. with most of the crop yet to be
housed limited to some half dozen coun-
ties. Late cures are not as fine as the
early crop and are reported from poor
to moderately good.
Much of the lowland corn crop was
lost or suffered from rotting, but in gem
eral the yield of this staple will be large
and fine Cutting and gathering is UNI
der way There is still much fodder
which can be saved in the west. The
greatest loss of fodder occurred in
southern counties, but the prospects are
that the late hay crop will be abundant
and fine. Saving clover seed has begun.
Turnips are doing well. Field peas are
being gathered, with an abundant yield
except whore too much vine formed.
Peanuts are being dug, with excellent
results. Sweet potatoes are generally
good. Rice is ripening rapidly and will
mostly be cut by the end of September.
Fall blowing and seeding are late, but
will now make more rapid progress.

which the hide was off the Doctor OK

that that speech was so momuxed mp

TO REMOVE REGISTRARS.
Mecklenbug Populists Complain That the
Men Chosen by Them Have Not Been
Appointed.

Chairman T. A. Cooper, of the Meek
lenburg county Populist executive COM
mittee, writes to State Chairman Cyrus
Thompson, objecting to the appointment
of certain persons in that county as
registrars.
1--WE recommended a full list" he
writes, "and twenty-three of our recon-
mcpdations were turned down and in
their places weak, ignorant Populsts or
Democrats were appointed. We hope
you will at once take such steps as
you think best to bring the parties to
justice"
The following registrars are objected
to by the chairman on the ground Of
Democratic leanings: John F. Wood
side W. ]. Hutchinson, J. r. Porter. W.
S. Flenniken, w. S. Stewart and J. A.
Bakery.
Auditor Aver, to whom the complaint
has been referred by State Chairman
Thompson. thinks it likely that proceed
ings will be instituted to have the regis
trars complained of removed and those
first recommended appointed. This is
to be done. he says, under Section { of
the new election law, which gives any
judge power Of removal of registrars
upon complaint Of the chairman of any
political party or of ten good citizens
of any county.
The part of the section bearing on
such cases as this is as follows:
THE judges of the Supreme and Supe-
ror courts shall exercise supervision and
control over the county board as to
the appointment of registrars and Judges
of elections. and shall have the power
upon the complaint of the chairman of
either of the political parties of any coun-
ty, or on the complaint of ten good citi-
zcns of any county, to remove any regis
trar or election officer appointed by the
county board, and to name any qualified
person of the same political faith in the
place of such officer so removed-and
said judges are hereby invested with
plenary powers to oversee, supervise and
control the county board or other cleo
ton officers, as to any and every duty
imposed upon them by this election
law And if any judge shall remove
any election officer appointed by any
other judge, such action shall be regarded
as conflict of decision between judges,
and may be appealed to the Supreme
court by any party aggrieved, by the
person removed, or by the county chair
man of either Of the political parties, or
by the State chairman of either Of the
political parties"

Letter Will Ask the. Iowa Clergyman

withdraw will shortly be presented by
his opponents to Rev. DR.. Thomas E.
Green of Cedar Rapids, chosen by the
diocesan convention at Davenport last
week to succeed the late Bishop Perry.

including one or two who supported DR..
Green, and including the six clerical
deputies to the triennia1 general con-
VentiOn at Philadelphia next month, re-
fused to sign the form prescribed by the
church recommending the candidate to
the general convention as proper per-

In the letter to DR.. Green this will be
represented as the reason why he
should withdraw. If he refuses the
fight will be carried before the general
convention.
DR.. Green is accused of having made a
stumping tour Of the diocese to get the
support of the delegates, but the objec-
ton to him before the general conven-
ton will be based on other grounds.

Senator Platt will not permit Colonel
Roosevelt to be nominated by the Repub

find the Independents have filed their petit
ton of nomination with the secretary of
state previous to the Republican conven-
ton.
Roosevelt's candidacy on two tickets,
the independent and the Republican, is an
impOssibility from the Republican ma
chine standpoint. It would mean the loss
of votes to the entire Republican ticket
through error of voters in affixing their
marks over the wrong column, and every
independent vote for Roosevelt would
mean a vote against the Republican legis-
latiVe candidates.

NEW HAMPSHIRE POLITICS
The Issue Among the Republicans-A
Question of Railroad Domination.

Boston, Sept. IA lively contest is
in progress for the Republican nominal
ton for governor of New Hampshire.
The contestants are Frank W. Rollins,
of the firm of E. H. Rollins & Co. of
Boston, who retains a voting residence
in Concord, and Franklin Worcester.
For time mention was made of o. S.
Greenleaf of the Hotel Vendome, in
Boston, who also keeps his voting resi-
dence in New Hampshire, but the re-
port from the Granite state is that he
has dropped out. The rural conscience
was confronted with the question, do
you want to vote for a man who sells
liquor over a bar?'' and for that rea-
son, among others. Mr.. Greenleaf has
ceased to pose as a candidate.
The issue in the state is said to be
steam VS.. trolley, or the domination in
politics by the Boston and Maine rail-
road. It is charged that the latter
company has protected itself against
the competition of the trolley in SUI
burban service in New Hampshire by
its control of the Legislature, from which
body railroad franchises must be OBJ
tanned. Nearly all the Republican pa.
pers in the state are supporting Rollins,
but the LacOnia Democrat, independent
in state matters, but Republican on ma
tionaI issues, is opposing him. It is cir
culating a special edition, in which 1t

officers, paid from the state treasury, are
also receiving salaries from the Boston
and Maine railroad, two of these being
members of the state railroad commits

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 14.-'War be-
tween America and the English people
is political absurdity and a moral i'm
possibility" said Rev. DR.. Washington
GLADDEN. in a lecture on England in his
church, it being his first address since
his return from his summer campaign
in England for closer friendship between
the two nations. THE English people, p"
he said, had never been at war with
America
1T was war by ministers that misrep-
resented the people," he said. But
England today is not the England of
Pitt and CastIereagh. No ministry will
dare antagonize the people as Lords
North and Palmerston did. Anyone
who tries to stir up strife between ma
lions having so much in common is en-
gagged in the most deYilish business since
Satan made war in heaven
Mr.. GLADDEN. heard only expressions of
good will toward America in England.
In conclusion he said that wherever
England had extended her power men
have been freer. Ireland seemed an
exception, but there are great obstacles
there, and he believed that if Ireland
could agree on what it wanted it could
secure it from the English government.
