COTTON IMPROVES IN TEXAS.
Heavy Rains in the Central and East Gulf
States Retard Cultivation.
(By the Associated Press)

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, June 12.-The Weather
Bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions, says:
Heavy rains in the Central and East
Gulf States including portions of Ken
lucky and Tennessee have retarded Gull
tivation and in some places caused in
jury to crops.
The high average temperatures, with
generally sufficient moisture, in the
great corn States of the Central Valleys
have been decidedly favorable to corn,
which has made rapid growth, although
needing cultivation in some sections. In
Maryland Virginia and portions of North
Carolina and Texas, corn is needing rain,
while it has suffered from excessive rains
in the Central Gulf States.
winter wheat harvest is now in prog
ress in Virginia and will begin in Ken
lucky this week. Except some lodging
in Kentucky and Tennessee the reports
generally indicate that the crop has made
satisfactory advancement during the
week.
''As a result of the light rains in Texas
much of the State receiving no precipita-
ton, cultivation has been vigorously
pushed and there has been a decided inn
provement in thee ondition of cotton.
Several days of fair weather are still
needed, however, to put the crop in a
proper state of cultivation in some parts
of Texas. While there is a general COM
plant of lice cotton over the Central
and Eastern portion of the cotton belt,
the crop has made substantial progress,
although quite generally in need of Gull
tivation. The least favorable reports are
received from Louisiana, where cotton
has made but slow growth and is turn
ing yellow

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
A VARIEGATED ASS.

Charlotte Observer.
The most delightfully."- variegated ass
that hasj popped up his head in North
Carolina of late is one d. M. Carpen-
ter, of Maiden, Catawba county. who
appears to have somewhat to do in
managing capacity with some or all of
the cotton mills of that town. Ten days
or two weeks ago it was published that
he had forbidden the wearing of white
supremacy buttons by his operatives.
This statement appeared in Raleigh
paper, accompanied by a loud cartoon
and many frills Mr.. Carpenter there
upon began to lombard the Observer
with letters and kilograms, asking that
a reporter be sent to Maiden to inves
tigate the facts. Our reply was that
we had no reporter to send him and
that it was not our fight anyhow. He
appears in The Asheville Gazette, of
Sunday, in which he says, among other
things, that he had a friend to call upon
the editor of the Observer and ask for
given it it's story-which was not the
one at all upon which his complaint was
based There is not a word of truth in
his story about this call of his friend, and
we only refer to the matter to say that
if this part of Carpenters interview is
a sample of the whole there is no truth in
it at all.

One of the most amusing incidents of

THE TEACHERS ABROAD.

The school teacher is abroad in
the land. Two educational assem-
blages are now in session in North
Carolina-the Legislature that took
progressive step at it's first session
when it made the first large appropri-
alton from State funds for public
schools, and the State Teachers AS
sembly which has been mighty
agency for promoting interest in edu-
cation.
The time was when politician,
who was looking for the popular side,
was dumb about, public education;
today if he wishes to be popular, he
must champion better schools. This
statement shows the long forward
step that has been taken in the past
few years by the Legislature.
The submission of the Amendment
IS the beginning of new era of still
deeper interest in public education.
The Teachers Assembly has been
the common ground where the Uni
versity and college professors, high
school teachers, city superintendent
and teachers in the log school houses
have met to plan greater things for
education. 1t has been the lie Ter in
most progressive educational move
ment. It's continued success and
growth mean much for educational
breadth and expansion in North Caro-
lima.

TWO OF A KIND.
Southern Tobacco Journal.

Southern Tobacco Journal.
The ice trust, against which the New
York Journal and the rest of the press
of that city inveigh, is not a bit worse
than the tobacco trust. The principal
charge that is brought against the ice
trust is that it is robbing the poor by
overcharging them for the frozen stuff.
but the tobacco trust is committing an
outrage of equal enormity by underpaying
the growers for their leaf. The ice COM
bine stands a good chance of being done
to death. The same sort of fight against
the tobacco trust would kill it, too, and
we hope to see it made.

But of course, the islands must
be thoroughly policed, and it will
take good many men to do it.
''We cannot get along with any
fewer troops than we have in the is
lands at present for q number of
years"
''Of course. volunteers must be
brought back as their terms of SER
vice expire and they must be replaced.
II think our expenditures will be
in the future about what they are
now, for we cannot get along there
with less force
There are now 63,60S enlisted men
and 2,117 officers in the American ar

cost of maintaining the army is esti-
mated to be 100000 day, or $47 49,

TOURMALINEs AND FELDSPAR
Quarry at Haddam Neck to Be

Quarry at Haddam Neck to Be
 Worked-One of Two in America.
 Middletown, Nov 6.-Charles Key holds of this city is engaged In organ king q stock company to operate feldspar mine in Haddam Neck, where tourmalines are found. The property consists of twenty-five acres of land with q house and barn and is owned by man named Gillette. There are but two QuarrieS in the United States where tourmalines are found, one at Paris, Me, and the other at Haddam Neck.
 Tourmalines are found in the field spar in what are known as pockets and clusters. Out of one pocket at this quarry gems to the value of $500 were taken. The feldspar can be sold at from 8 to SIS a ton. It is sold for S5 as it is taken out of the quarry and it costs about 8 ton to mine. There is therefCfe profit of $2 ton on the feldspar. which will pay q handsome profit. The company now has orders for 5000 tons of feldspar, which is used by the potteries
 The first year the quarry was oper- ated with hand drills, and not only was much feldspar taken out but also gems to the value of S2O25. The quarry is now equipped with a steam drill and there Is ledge enough already uncovered to keep men at work min ing for the next five years The quar- ry is drained by siphon to the river, so that it Is always dry.
 There is a splendid wharf along the river front that was recently built at a cost of s3,O0O and when the quarry Is fully equipped with machinery for grinding feldspar good profit may be expected. Tiffany & Go of New York nave been having the output of tour malines the past year.
