Climate and Crop Report,

The weather for the week ending Aug.
18th has been wet and rather cool. Copious
showers were frequent and general over the
entire section. The rains were very heavy
in the southern counties. where the previ.
Gus drought conditions prevailed so extern
sively, in fact the rains in these districts
were most too heavy for the best good.
Vegetation is now everywhere in good
growing condition, with tendency to rank
growth in some districts. Pastures have
been revived Corn is very much improved,
and gives promise for good crop. Late
potatoes and tomatoes are doing we'll, ex-
cept some report of blight in tomatoes, and
tendency to top in potatoes. Truck crops
have been benefited and are in fine condi.
ton. Early tobacco was most too far gone
to receive full benefit from rain; it has been
largely topped down. Late tobacco, how
ever, is growing nicely, but the crop at best
will be scant. Peaches are being marketed
and are reported plentiful in the vicinity of
Boonsboro, Washington Co. Elsewhere
they. with all other fruits except pears, are
scarce. Considerable fall plowing and fall
lowing has been done. but during the past
week 1t was too vet for much work of that
kind:

up to the average of former years, if not
in excess. The season, however,

order came Thursday evening for moving
at 7.3O this morning by train to the new
camp near Middletown, Pa, few miles
from Harrisburg, where some 25,OOo or
10000 troops will be stationed. They will
be instructed in guard duty especially and
in the fall will probably go to Cuba Porto

people have said "Barcus is willin'," but
there have been many regrets expressed
between the boys and the towns people
since Thursday evening at the separation.

officer who is alleged to have defrauded

dollars while in charge of river and

punishment more severe than was ever
imposed on any officer tried in this

Carter has been found guilty and sem
fenced by the court to dismissal from
the army, imprisonment in the peni-
tentiary for period of between ten
and twenty years and to forfeit all pay.
In addition to all these penalties is an
additional one, which provides that the
article of war shall apply to his case,
and Carter shall become an outcast so
far as his personal relations with any
member of the army is concerned. Any
officer speaking to or addressing Carter
will be accused and tried for scandalous
conduct. The findings of the court
are still before the Secretary Of War
for action, and ty him will be for
warded to the President.

that this Government could not COM

the best thing the Cubans could do was
to advise the men in arms to disband,
retire to their homes and engage in
peaceful pursuits. That the mem
bers of the Cuban Junta recognized
that this is the only thing to do is seen
in the fact that emissaries have already
been dispatched to Cuba with view
of carrying out the desire of the Unit
