One hundred people interested in the con-
troversy over the passage of the bill for
the reorganization of the State Board of
Education attended the meeting of the Sem
ate committee on education last night, and
the merits Of the bill were thoroughly dis
cussed from both sides by the presidents
of both the state and nonstate colleges. The
committee did not reach any conclusions in
the matter and will not report on the bill

the only two bills disposed of, and will
hand in divided reports on both of them
this morning. One of the bills is by Sen

William Wallace Badly Wanted by
the Authorities There.

AS soon as the requisite papers are Sc
cured William Wallace, who was arrested
here for swindling, will be taken to Cleve-
land, Q. This is on the advice of William
A. Pinkerton, chief of the Chicago detective
agency, who wrote Superintendent Qugley
that a strong case could be made against
Wallace for defrauding the Citizens Saving
and Lean Association, of Cleveland, out of
5000. The Cleveland authorities are anxious
to have Wallace answer their accusation
first. The offense for which he was held
here consisted of an attempt to secure So 0JO

beaS corpus proceedings.

CROP CONDITIONS.
The conditions during the week ending
Monday were extremely unfaVorabe for
crops and for farm work throughout the
greater portion of the state. great deal
of damage was done by northeast gales
to all crops in the eastern and north
central districts. Cotton was blown down,
tangled, or tossed by the wind. much
corn is on the ground; fodder was whip
ped to pieces. and tobacco was badly
bruised. Lower crops. such as field peas,
peanuts, and potatoes We're not so mucn
injured. Minor damage resulted from the
submergence of swamp lands near the
coast, where the rainfall was heavy or
the tides high Fruit was broken from
the trees in the southeast portion. There
was q remarkable contrast between the
weather conditions over the eastern ana
western sections. West of a line drawn
north and south through Raleigh the wea-
Their has been very dry during the WeeN'
and the drought prevails with greater
severity on account Of the high north
west winds which dried out the son anu
parched vegetation. All sections IN we
west need rain. and fall ploughing Is pro-
crossing very slowly.
COTTON AND CORN.
Cotton continues 10 shed forms and
bolls. Besides the damage by wind, rust
appears TO be increasing and spreading.
In the south the crop is opening rapidly
and picking has commenced. Late corn -
now firing in the west where rain is
needed: elsewhere IL is generally good;
saving fodder continues; the loss Of iod-
der by the wind In the east was very
great. In the extreme northwest some
tobacco IS ready for cutting; further east
considerable damage 10 leaves resulted
from continual rubbing together; fortu-
natelv the chief part Of the crop had all
ready been cured I'm the southeast portion.
Some poor cures were reported, caused
bv the difficulty Of regulating the heat
during the wind-storm. Field peas, pea
nuts. rice. and sweet-pOtatoes continue
fine. but are suffering for want OF mois-
ture in the west. Turnips are coming up;
seeding has been much delayed. Grapes
are ripe. and wnc-making has COM
mcnced.
The Baptist Female University here
opens September 9th 10 will have at least

The news that Judge Purnell, OF tho
United States District Court, would ask
for the resignation of j. b. Fortune

ago to a few Republicans. They say the
reason is that Fortune is not from this

the appointment, IL is said While there
is a rumor that the Judge has intimated
a purpose to appoint George Green now
a deputy clerk at New Berne, TO fill the
vacancy, there is a little doubt expressed
as TO this.
So far l41 recruits for the regulars and
