Condition of the Crops.

Following is the weekly summary OF crop
conditions issued by the weather bureau:
The most unfavorahle features OF the
week ended May 18th were the unseason-
ably low temperatures on the North Iaciic
Coast, the continued absence of rain over
the greater part of the Gulf States and eN-
ccssivc rains, which retarded farming OPP
erations, in the Ohio and Mississippi al
levs. Except on the North Pacific Coast
the temperature conditions of the week
have been favorable and crops generally
have made good growth, except i'll portions
of the Gulf States, where they are suffer
ing from drought. Frosts were frequent
in portions of the lake region, Upper
Mississippi and Upper Missouri Valleys,
but on the whole no serious damage is re-
ported.
Excessive rains have delayed corn plant
ing in Missouri, Illinois, Iowa and Indiana,
but elsewhere over the northern portions
of the country planting progressed favor
ably, about half of the proposed acreage
having been planted in Illinois and Ohio.
The early planted corn is recei:ing its first
cultivation in the States of the Lower
Missouri, Central Mississippi and Ohio
Valleys, the stands being generally re-
ported goo l. In the Central Gulf States
the crop is needing rain and is being in
iured to some extent by insects. In Okla
homa and Southern Missouri much corn
hoc l,na hoo In
Texas good yield from the early planted
seems assured
Winter wheat has made rapid growth
during the week in the States of tie Cen
Chinch bugs and Hessian fly are causing
injury in portions of Missouri and Illinois;
the crop needs rain in Nebraska and is
suffering from drought in the East Gulf
States.
Over the Southern portions Of the spring
wheat region the crop is making good
growth and IS stooling well. South Dakota
reports frost injury to spring wheat gen
ducive to luXurant stooling.'
Oats have been injured by frost in South
Dakota and are suffering for rain in the
Central Gulf States, South Carolina and
Nebraska, but generally the crop is in
promising condition and has made rapid
growth during the week. Harvest is in
progress in Florida.
Some tobacco has been transplanted in
Kentucky, Ohio and Virginia; farther
north no transplanting has been done, but
preparations are well advanced and plants
are generally plentiful.

Berry Convicted.

John Berry, the colored youth who on
| and very nearly murdered her sister Miss
Annic Clark, at their home, near Bowie
| in this county, was on Tuesday convicted
! by the jury in the Criminal Court of Baltl
| more CITY of murder in the first degree
and was sentenced to be har gcd by Judge
Wright The jury were out one hour and
| a-half, and at first stood nine for Elr>t and
| three for second degree murder.
In passing sentence on Berry. Judge
Wright said You have been tried by
an impartial jury: you have been defend
ed by able counsel, who, probably contrary
to their inmost wishes, felt it their duty
to do all they could in order that you
should obtain a fair trial. The jury have
found verdict and if they should have
found any other verdict it would have
been IA humiliation and Il disgrace to this
court NJ other punishment but death is
proper in such Il case as this. This very
great outbreak of crime all over the coun-
try must be punished speedily. am CRATE
full and thankful to the jury that they
measured up to the duty which the law aud
evidence demanded Of them. The SEN
tence of the court is that you be hence
taken to the Baltimore City Jail, from
whence you were brought, and there held
subject to the order of the sheriff of Prince
Georges county, and upon the demand of
said sheriff, delivered to him, and by him
taken to the jail of Prince Georges county,
and upon i. day to be designated by the
Governor of this state to be hanged by the
neck until you are dead
The young murderer gave but slight in
dication of being affected either by the
verdict of the jury or the sentence of the
judge.
The only evidence offered on the part
of the defense was that of Assistant SUI
perintendent John S. Pyle, of the Colorcd
House of Reformation at Cheltcnham, Of
Mr. J. H. Forbes, Il teacher at the lefor
matory, and of Charles S. Early, Jr., of
Brandywine. formerly assistant teacher
at the institution, each of whom testified
that Berry bore a fairly good reputation
while an inmate. Berry was committed
to the House of Reformation on July %
1891, and was sent out 20 service in April
1897, with the Misses Clark, who liked his
appearance, and selected him from num-
Der of boys. The commitment, when he
was received, stated he was nine years old
which would make his present age seven
teen years. Berry was not placed on the
stand; in fact, he said he did not desire
to testify.
States Attorney Roger Bells made the
opening al gumcnt for the state, and was
followed by Messrs. c. c. Magruder and
Charles H. Stanley, respectively, for the
defense, States Attorney Henry Duffy
closing for the state.
The record in the case was sent to
Governor Lowndes on Tuesday ight. The
costs of the trial will amount to about
$4OO.

Ian says he did tell Alger a year ago
that he would not be a candidate for
reelection, but that he is not prepar-
ed to say as much now, owing to
changed circumstances. Tie changed
circumstances" are believed to have
been brought about by AGciIillan's
failure to secure a big diplomatic
plum, which Alger made him believe
was in Lis reach, for the express pur-
pose Of getting linn to declare that
be would not be a candidate for re-
election to the Senate.

Since the destruction of Gen. Wade
Hampton's home, South Caroliniaas
could not do a more grateful act, than
to respond to the call which has
been made to build a home for the
gallant cheiftain. General Hampton
is an octoseDarian, and of course his
race is nearly run, but if the people
of South Carolina for whom he has
spent his life build a champion
home" after the general has passed
away, it could be converted into a
home for aged, and infrm confeder-
ate soldiers. Let the movement to
build a champion home take root
in every county, and let each county
contribute a sufficient sum to build
a loom. General Hampton deserves
such tribute, and it should be done
at once
