Washington, September 5.-The fol-
lowing is the weather bureaus weekly
summary of crop conditions:
A very large part of the country is
now suffering from drought of greater
or less severity, and as high average
temperatures have generally prevailed
during the week ending September 4,
1899, with no rain in nearly all districts
suffering from lack Of rain at the close
Of the previous week, the complaints
of drought are more pronounced. Very
favorable weather conditions prevailed
on the Atlantic coast, although the
drought continues in portions of New
England and North Carolina.
As a whole, the week has been very
favorable for early corn, which has
made rapid progress toward maturity,
but has been less favorable to the late
crop, premature ripening being general
ly reported, while cotton picking has
been retarded by rains in portions OF
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and
on the Texas coast; in other portions Oh
the cotton belt rapid progress has been
made. All reports indicate that the
crop is opening rapidly, much prema-
turely. Reports of rust and shedding,
as a rule are less numerous and are
confined principally to the entra1 por-
ton Of the cotton belt. In portions OF
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida ii
has sustained injury by rain, sprouting
and rotting in bolls being reported from
some sections; in Georgia, however, the
general condition OF the crop has i'm
proved, there being fewer reports OF
rust, with some new growth as a results
of late rains. The general conditions OF
outstanding tobacco, which is maturing
rapidly, is very favorable, and rapid
progress has been made during the
week, in curing and housing.
The condition Of the soil has been
more favorable for blowing and seeding
in the middle Atlantic states, but in the
states of the central valleys and south.
west Of this work has been largely sus.
pended, owing to extreme dryness.

Mr.. w. J.. McDiarmid. of Spount
Springs; Mr.. M. l.. Marley, Of Lumber
Bridge, and Mrs. M. A. Buie, of Red
Springs, all three we'll known saw NAL
men, spent yesterday in the city on
business
They report that all the valuable tim
Der lands in Robson, Cumberland, Bla-
den and adjoining counties are being
gobbled up by buyers at home and from
the north. The timber is bought as it
stands in the forests, but in nan in
stances the land is purchased also. The
owners Of timber are getting better
prices than for many years past.
The activity in the purchase of timber
lands prevails in all the counties Of
eastern North Carolina. A prominent
mill men said yesterday that before
many months there would not be much
left on the market. He says he don't
know of a better investment. at this
time than timber lands in eastern North
Carolina. A northern man who has
purchased a large area of timber, says
he would not take three times as much
for his purchase as he gave for it.
The lands we refer to contain princi-
palfy long leaf or yellow pine timber,
but we learn that there is also as much
demand for hard woods, including
sweet and black gum.

GREAT THINGS AHEAD
What the Proposed Railroad to South"
port Will DevelOp-A COalinS Station
and Cotton Compress-It Will Open
the North Carolina Coal Fields

A great lee Of interest is felt here
in the revival of the enterprise to build
a railroad from Southport to Whining
ton, and from what we learn there are
~stupendous enterprises in contemplation
if the road is built,
One of the aims is to make Southport
a great coaling station for steamships,
as a railroad will place that port in di-
rect communication with the bal fields
of Virginia and sooner or later with he
coal and iron region of Tennessee, when
General HOke's railroad chem is COM
pleted.
A northern gentleman who is an ex-
pert coal operator, says the railroad to
Southport will do more to develop the
Of North Carolina. than any
enterprise he knows of. It will open
up the coal fields of North Carolina.
He has an option or a large coal area
in this state and he says it means that
this property win be developed. Some
people have al idea that h a found
in this state is not of good quality, but
he tells us that the va found in his
property is Of as good quality as can
be found in the United States.
Another enterprise down on the pa
per for Southport is a big cotton COM
press, besides others that will be sure
to come in the wake of the new develop
ment.
It is said the road will be ready for
operation by next fall.

The past few days in Wilmington
have been among the arm of the
season. The sun came down hot yes
terday AND at one time during the day
the temperature registered 80 degrees in
the shade.
Sunstrokes are very rare here, but
yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock Mr..
Charles Williams, a young carpenter,
was overcome by the sun while he was
at work on some casing on the roof Of
the Delgado cotton mills. While at
work n OF the men near him noticed
hat something was wrong with him
and when he sank down and was about
to fall from the building his companion
seized him just in time to keep him
from failing a distance of thirty feet or
more from the top of the two-story fac
tory building.
Mr.. Williams was unconscious when
taken down from the top Of the build
ing, and was i'm a serious condition some
time. Dr.. w. J. H Bellamy was call
ed to him, and last evening his condi-
ton was much improved.

In q sr,ecial to The New York Herald
from Newport, r. l., last Friday giving
an account of the brilliant wedding Oh
Lieutenant Chase, Of the navy, n
Miss Taylor, at which Lieutenant Vic
tor Blue was one of the ushers, the
writer adds this bit of information that
will be of interest t 0 the gallant South
Carolinian's many friends:
.It was announced here today that
Morristown, N. J., is to have a brilliant
and interesting naval wedding on DC
tober 18th, the contracting persons be-
ing Lieutenant Victor Blue, U. 5. N,
of the cruiser Brooklyn, and Miss
Eleanor Stewart, a niece or captain
Philip Fl. Cooper, U. S. N.
Lieutenant Blue is one of the heroes
of the war as we'll as one of the most
modest men in the service Wh1le an
officer on the little SuWanee last June
he was commissioned with the very
hazardous duty of making a journey
into Cuba and to the shore of Santiago
Bay to ascertain if Cervera's ships were
really trapped or not. He saw them
and reported, and was sent into Cuba
again to determine their exact loca-
ton, that they might be fired upon by
the United States ships.
For his conspicuous bravery and
gallantry it was recommended that he
be promoted ten numbers. The matter
of the engagement and approaching
wedding of Lieutenant Blue and Miss
Stewart was not generally known here
till today, and naturally created quite a
futter in naval circles. Many of the Of
ficers of the North Atlantic Squadron
and their families will arrange to be
present"
