vice-president; b. S. Jerman, treasurer;
j. N. Holding, attorney, George Allen
secretary and manager. w. 5. Primrose

bers the return of all payments, togeth-
er with profit of fifty per cent in 100
months. The payment of 2 cents per
day, which is 60 cents per month, for
100 months, natures one share of 500.
The loaning plan guarantees the re-
turn to the borrower of all his payments
less three per cent per annnm on the
amount advanced to him. Both the
investing and borrowing members are
fully protected by the guarantee fund,
which promises and agrees to mature the
stock, MAXI the monthly payments for
the widow should death occur. This Sc
cures the home to the family without
further cost after death. For full par

ATHEIST FOR RAIN
ALL OVER DIXIE
Copious General Rains Have
Fallen in Cuba.
ALL COTTON CROP OPEN
PICKING GOES on APACE; TOP
CROP A FAILURE.
THE TOBACCO CROP CUT AND HOUSED
Excellent Progress Made During the Week
With Flowing and Fall Seeding in the
Ohio Valley. Middle Atlantic
States and New England.

Washington, Sept. 26-FOllowing is
the Weather Bureaus Weekly summary
of crop conditions:
No rain having fallen over a large
part of the Southern States, the drough-
ty conditions of the previous week con-
tinue in that section. Rain is also need
ed over portions of Illinois, Iowa, Ne
braska and in the Southern Rocky
Mountain region. Throughout the CEN
trail and Northern portions of the coun-
try and on the Pacific coast the wealth
er conditions have been generally ia
vorable for maturing crops, and for
farm work. Except over portions of
Pinar del Rio, Havana and Santa Clara
Provinces, much needed and copious
general rains have fallen in Cuba, prov
ing of inestimable value to all crops and
putting the soil in excellent condition for
planting.
The corn crop has experienced gener-
ally favorable weather conditions during
the week. In the States of the Ohio
Valley and Lake Region, large part
of the crop is cut and some husking has
been done. As previously stated the re-
ports indicate that late corn hos failed to
develop well in the Central Valleys ard
southern states.
The absence OF rain or the Pacific
coast has beer favorable for the COM
pletion of grain harvest and for thresh-
ing in Washington and Oregon, where
the reports continue to show that the
damage from August rains is much less
than was expected.
Under favorable weather conditions
cotton picking has made rapid progress.
Nearly the whole of the crop is open
and the bulk has been gathered over a
large part of the cotton region. The
marked features of this seasons crop
are premature opening, early gathering,
and a very short top crop, the latter in
some sections being a complete failure.
The tobacco crop has been cut and
housed, except over limited areas in
Virginia and North Carolina, where cut
ting will be completed by October LIST.
The weuther of the past week has been
generalIy favorable for curing.
Excellent progress has been made du-
ring the week with blowing and fall
seeding in the Ohio Valley, Middle At
lanfie States and New England, but gem
orally throughout the Southern States
and i'm the upper Mississippi Valley the
soil has been too dry, and slow progress
with this work has been made. In the
Ohio Valley and Middle Atlantic States
early sown grain is terminating finely.
NOTE.-This is the last weekly issue
Of the climate and crop bulletin for the
season of 1899 Until the opening of
the next season, the bulletin will be
issued monthly.

AS the advance in cotton from D
to 615 cents amounts to 30 per cent
it will appear how the rise in the price
of the goods and of the raw material
compare" My informant said that mills
have done better for the past twelve
months than in five or six years, burt
declared that he knew of no mill IN the
State that could pay eight cents for cot
ton and sell goods at present prices
without losing money. One trouble, he
said. is that some mills will soon fix
their prices for spring delivery and
then they can not be changed no matter
what the market does. In denims alone
the additional cost per yard with cotton
at eight cents would be ~ cents, which
would mean positive loss to the makers
he said.
Mr.. ]. S. Wynne, of the Raleigh
Yarn Mill, said that he could not oper-
ate his mill except at a loss if cotton
went to cents and yarn failed to keep
pace with it, Sat this time last year"
said ne, cotton was selling at "a cents
and yarn at 161a; now cotton is selling
at 61a and yarn 1T 16. Cotton has risen
III, yarn has fallen II cent per pound
The demand for yarn however Us 100
per cent better and an advance lis prob
able. We are running over time now.
Beside the price of yarn usually follows
cotton, though not at once. We are
operating on the basis that cotton will
go to or cents"

90 ND to s cents if the price of goods
would rise in anything like the same
ratio. Some mills could perhaps run
at present prices for their goods and cot
ton at s cents but yarn mills and most
Of the others would lose money. A
mistaken idea seems to have gotten
abroad in regard to cotton mills any
way They are not, as a rule, making
as much as formerly and my experience
has been that business fell off after the
war with Spain began and has not yet
fully recovered"
Another mill representative when
asked about the situation, said: Il think
the rise in the price of cotton goods has
been practically on a parity with the
rise in the price of cotton. The rise
in the price of grays and browns has
been larger than in ginghams, the latter
being the goods made by the Caralelgh
mills here. The advance in cotton
goods as compared with the prices of
one year ago are about as follows:

The Admiral laughed outright and

wood lying on the deck, some yards
away, at the same time saying:
MY SON knows as much about what
my politics are as that piece of stick"
The Admiral would not say a word
about the alleged interference of the
German Admiral Diedrichs at Manila.
The unexpected arrival of the cruiser
Olympia with Admiral George Dewey
for a time completely upset the elaborate
plans of the reception committee. Be
fore proceeding further in the arrange

Admiral When the program was ex-

was very satisfactory, and that he
would remain aboard the Olympia until
Friday morning and then would receive
the official visit of Mayor Van Wyck.
