Weekly Crop Bulletin

Raleigh, N. c., September 20.
The Gather during week ending yes
terday continued very favorable for
maturing crops and for farm work.
While the first two or three days were
quite cool for the season, there follow
ed a gradual rise in temperature to
above normal on Sunday, 18th, when
the maximum reached 80 degrees. The
deficiency for the week averaged less
than 1 degree. Small amounts of rain
occurred on the 18TH and 18th, chiefly
on the coast; elsewhere dry weather
prevailed, with more abundant sun
shine towards the end of the week.
These conditions have been just what
was needed for the final work of the
season, which made rapid progress.
Corn is turning out fairly well, ex-
cept in a few counties. Much of it is
being cut n gathered early to lessen
the possibility of injury by weavels.
Fodder pulling is practically over; the
results this week were better, but any
deficiency in the supply Of corn fodder
will be balanced by the large and ex-
cellent yield Of meadow and pea vine
hay, of which considerable remains to
be cut.
LIN q VI ~ "
maturing cotton Picking cotton is the
principal work now and the crop is
opening so rapidly that there is a great
demand for pickerS. The crop is re-
ported as short of what was expected
Some premature opening is still re-
ported. The bOlls generally seem to be
small and pointed, locks hin INC lint
short; the top or August crop is small
In specially favorable localities, how
yer there are some fine fields of cot
ton.
Cutting and curing tobacco is prac-
tically finished in the chief tobacco
counties of the state, but continues
in the west and northwest. Grading
n marketing the crop is proceeding
rapidly. Minor crops are yielding well
especially peanuts and rice, though
sweet potatoes are reported DOC in
some southern counties. Turnips are
doing well. Making sorghum syrup
continues. Farmers are busy blowing
for winter wheat and good progress
was made in this work Some winter
oats and rye have been planted. Early
sown oats look we'll.
[NOTE.-On account of the advanced
condition of crops, which are now
beyond the influence of changing
weather conditions, the bulletin fol
the week ending September 26th will be
the last for this season. Crop CORE
%spondents will confer a favor by send
ing two more weekly reports, the last
on Saturday, October 1st. giving a
final report or the progress of fall
work and an estimate of the amount
of cotton remaining unpicked and of
tobacco uncut on that day.

When Dockery opens his mouth now
a-days Sir Oracle is there, and dema-
gogy runs rapidly and and strong. He
made a speech the other day some
where, and he is said to have out Dock
cried Dockery, which was an achieve
ment indeed for the old moss-back
demagogue and topper. He particu-
larly addressed himself to his dear
friend Russell's "savages" and his
antics and deliverances were quite
worthy of the political harlequin and
acrobat. An exchange reporting 1--WE
clipped but neglected to write the name
of the paper but believe that it was
the Wadesbor Messenger,) told of his
base Pedagogical performances, as he
sought ito play upon their passions and
stir them up against the whites. He
told them that if the democrats carried
the election that the poor whites and
negroes (poor whites and negroes are
always spoken of in the same breath
by Dockery, showing that he thinks as
much Of one as he does the other)
would be DISTINGUISHED" Does Oliver
Dockery ever appeal to an ignorant
mans mind and not to his passions?
Does he ever speak to the reason of
men? The paper reporting says:
"The second lie that we call atten-
ton to is the speech, (there were in
Vulnerable others) was his denial Of
the charge, made in the democratic
press, hat Jim Young has inspected
the apartments of the white blind chill
dren at Raleigh. The speaker said
that John E.. Ray, the principal of the
school, and a democrat, had said that
Young had made no such inspection.
This Dockery knew to be a lie; Ray
said no such thing. What he did say
was that he knew of no such inspec-
ton by Young. But if Dockery want
ed to be fair about this matter why
did he mo- say that an official report,
signed by Young himself, showed that
he (Young) had made the inspection
as claimed by the democrats"
But the climax of Dockery's great
two-horse act was when he crawled in
the dirt and poured forth nauseating
eulogy of Dan Russell whom he hates
as the devil is said to hate holy water,
and who robbed him by and through
his "savages" of the nomination for
governor in 1896. This was to put the
cap-stone upon his column Of humili-
alton and most abject fawning. Rus
sell one of the best of all North Car
DINA governors! Monstrum horren-
dunn, informe, ingens, cui lumen ademp-
tum. Oliver should remember the
words of good old pious Herbert
Dare to be true. Nothing can need
a lie" But the agony and. the despair
came when the gallant "Kurnel" event
further and endorsed John r. Smith,
the man who Russell himself said was
squandering the states resources. He
said that Smith was one of the best
men in the state and his management
of the p~enitentiary was a splendid
success" Pitiful and false!

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face. Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Hunors- How a Cure
Was Effected.
when five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open n run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
TO be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsa parilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles CT Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

over $500.

comes necessary to send them to the

regiments there is very little sickness.
Clarence +. Brayton. sergeant major
of the Third New York regiment, died
today of spinal meningitis at Harris
burg. DR.. II. S. Hoteling of Syracuse,
n. Y, who attended Brayton says
death was caused by neglect. The
young soldier was taken sick two
weeks ago and was sent to the division
hospital. The surgeon there said he
was suffering from quinine poisoning
and that there was nothing else wrong
with him. He was removed TO Harris
burg and a few days later taken to
the Bolton house. The military hos
pital authorities did not notify his
parents until several days after he
was taken sick and they will demand
an investigation.

HOME FOLKS.

Speaking Of the great cigarette trust
reminds us that quite recently in Eas-
tern Carolina a youth of excellent fam
lily came home from school a mental
wreck from the cigarette. He is now
in a hospital in a city north of Vir-
ginia. The deadly cigarette gets in it's
work with great certainty, insidious
but sure. A gentleman tells us he was
recently travelling in the cars with a
boy who pulled off his coat and smoked
cigarettes all the time. He will either
die from nervous p%rostration or go to
a lunatic asylum. But one cheering
fact, thanks to a part of an enlighten-
ed press, the sale of cigarettes has
greatly diminished in North Carolina.
1t should be suppressed by law that is
rigidly enforced. n..,
