WEEKLY CROP REPORT.

Washington, May 29.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary OF crop con-
ditionS says:
The drought in the Dakotas and
Minnesota has become most serious.
Rain is also needed in portions OF the
middle Atlantic and central gulf states.
Complaints of cool nights continue
from the east gulf and southern At
lantic states.
The general condition of corn in the
principal corn states is rather better.
Cut worms are reported as damaging
corn in the middle and south Atlantic
and central gulf states and in Kansas.
Winter wheat is ripening as far
north as North Carilina, Tennessee,
Arkansas and Oklahoma, ard harvest
ing has begun in the southern portions
of the gulf states. The reports gen.
orally indicate that wheat Is heading
short in the middle Atlantic states.
The northern and eastern portions
Of the spring wheat region have expe-
rienced very unfavorable conditions.
Over the southeastern portions the crop
has made satisfactory progress.
While cotton continues backward,
there has been quite general improve
ment in its condition. especially over
the eastern and western portions, the
least favorable reports coming from
the central portion. All sections, how
ever, continue to report the unfavor-
able effects of cool nights Fruit re
ports are encouraging.

THE FEDERAL CENSUS.
The Enumerators Begin Work Friday.
Vast Army Employed.

Washington May 29.-After fifteen
months of preparation the preliminary
work in connection with taking the
census is practically over, the actual
field work commencing on the first
day of June. The work incident TO the
commencement of the enumeration
proper has been of considerable magni-
tude. Nearly three hundred supervi-
sors have been selected, $1,000 enumer-
ators, something over 2,0C0 special
agents. A cleracal force is now at
work, nubering over one thousand. and
examinations are in force that will
provide some 2,2O0 more. Over 14,000,-
900 schedules have been prepared and
sent to the different parts of the United
States for use in taking the enumera-
ton and acquiring other facts in con-
nectiOn with the manufacturing ana
agricultural inquiries. In order to
bring about these conditions there will
have been spent on the first OF June
about $75,000.
On the morning of June 1st the small
army of enumeratorS will sally forth
upon the commencement of the most
important census taken during the
history of the United States. The pre-
liminary work that has been under
taken is but a small part OF the task
that confronts the officials of the GEN.
sus bureau. The field work now COM
mencing which will involve the use OF
all the enumeratorS and special agents,
consisting of nearly $1,000 men, prob
ably, will not be finished until in Sep
tember.
When the returns are made from this
vast aggregation of information hunt
ers the work of the census will begin.
The count of the population will be
-, y, t0 or
| by the time congress convenes, in or
may be provided for at the next ses-
sion of the national legislature. The
work of compilation, tabulation, and
! printing, will follow, and this alone will
| be a work of great magnitude. 1t is
| hoped to finish the principal part OF
! the census work within the next two
| years. That done, the special subjects
| connected with the industrial inquiries
| will be taken up and disposed of as
/ fast as possible. A much more thorough
| supervision and enumeration will be
| undertaken than ever attempted here
| tofore, involving, of course, an extra
| ordinary expenditure, with a view of a
| more thorough count of the popula atior
| in the larger cities.
1t is not unlikely that the cost o. the
census when completed will be be-
tween fifteen and sixteen millic,.
| dollars 1t is believed, however, that
| the results, either from a scientific
or practical standpoint, in the main
will be satisfactory to the people o
| the country.

first in Johnston, then in Wayne and
now in Jail here to prevent lynching.
The court sustainS the lower court,
but intimates that the verdict ought
to have been for a lesser offence. This
is construed to mean that there will
be executive clemency in shape of COM
mutation. The court says it was
jury case and 1t cannot go behind the
jury finding, but says the sheriff of
Johnston and other witnesses swore to
Smiths good character and truthful
ness.

W. Mason, of Northampton, was
