lowing:
Like many other talented young wo-

Frances H. Cameron, the daughter of the
late General f. H. Cameron, of North
Carolina, and the niece of former Cover
nor Cameron, of West Virginia, has de-
cided to enter the dramatic profession.
"Her family is one of the most promi-
nent in the civic affairs of the South and
has given many brave and accomplished
officers to the army. Miss Paul herself
was graduated with distinction a short
time ago from st. Mary's at Raleigh, n.
c., and since then she has completed
course of study at a dramatic school
in this city At home she often took
part in amateur entertainments, and the
ability her friends thought they saw in
her work then has been amply proved by
the success she had in several roles at
Pupil performances given at the Madison
Square Theatre last winter.

CONDITIONS IMPROVE
Last Week Was a Favorable
One For Farmers.
The indications Are That There Will be Fair
Yield Of Fruit, But Apples Are tx
pected 10 be Failure.

For the week ending Monday, June 10th,
1901, the Weather Bureau makes the fol-
lowing report Of the climate and crop SER
vice in North Carolina
All reports Indicate that the past week
has been very favorable both for farm
work and for the growth of crops. The
temperature averaged about normal and
the days were generally warm without
extremes, but cool nights prevailed to-
ward the close of the week. The light
showers which were quite general about
the 9Th or 7th were very beneficial, soft
ening the soil which had begun to be hard
to work. The amount of sunshine was
abundant. Farmers took advantage of
these favorable conditions to push work
as much as possible; many fields have
been cleaned of grass and are we'll cul-
tivated, but the amount of work to be
done was so great that grass has not
all been subdued, and another week of
fair weather is required Crops still
average from two to three weeks late,
but have made considerable growth and
show renewed vigor.
Chopping cotton progressed very rap
idly, but is not yet finished. Where fields
have been cleaned the crop shows good
stand and better color, but large areas
are still very grassy, and some fields have
been abandoned or will be plowed up for
corn. Cotton seems to be almost the
smallest for the season on record Corn
is doing fairly well and has regained col
or where cultivated; grassy fields show
little growth, yellow color, and very poor
stands. Much corn was planted in low
lands throughout the State during this
week. The bulk of the tobacco crop has
now been transplanted, and the crop is
starting Off well with good stands. Wheat
and winter oats are ripening rapidly;
cutting has begun in the South and the
harvest will become general next week,
averaging ten days late. There is much
complaint of scab and rust, but the dam
age is not wide spread enough to mater
ally lessen the favorable outlook for all
the cereals. Spring oats are very fine.
Gardens and vegetables have improved.
Digging irish potatoe has commenced, and
shipments are going forward from east
ern sections. Rice has a good stand and
looks we'll While most fruits promise
fair yields, it appears that the apple
crop will be almost a faflure On account
of the fruit falling from the trees.

THE DROUGHT rs RELIEVED.
Highly Favorable Week For Transplanting
Tobacco
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the associated PreSs.) rssfs.ssss
Washington, June 11.--Much needed and
generally abundant rains have fallen dur
ing the week in the spring wheat re-
gion which has suffered from protraoted
drought, and the drought conditions in the
lower Missouri Valley have been largely
relieved, though portions of Missouri con-
tirue to need more rain.
While the weather conditions have
been less favorable to corn Than in the
previous week, this crop continues to
make slow progress in the principal corn
States slight Improvement is quite
generally reported over the Southern por-
ton of the corn belt, and generally
throughout the Southern States.
Winter wheat has experienced improve
ment in the States of the lower Missouri
Valley, which suffered from drought
in the previous week, but from portions
of the Ohio Valley and Michigan and
Now York less favorable reports are re-
: ceived, due principally to the rayages of
the Hessian fly. Harvest has begun in
North Carolina, Tennessee, and in the
Southern portions of Missouri and Kan
sas. and wheat is beginning to ripcn in
Maryland and Virginia.
COlJOH has improved over the western
portion of the cotton belt and in Tennes-
see, and portions Of the Carolinas, but
in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and the
Southern portion of South Carolina, it has
made very slow growth, is very backward
and in some sections is much in need of
cultivation. Some fields in North Carolina
arc being plowed under for other crops.
The week has been highly favorable
for transplanting and growth of tobacco
and the general condition of this crop
is satisfactory although the plants are yet
small in Kentucky and Ohio.
Apples continue to drop extensively
and except in New England, where the
outlook for this crop is promising, an
ABUNDANT crop is not indicated. Peaches
are also dropping freely in some sections
but in Maryland and Delaware they are
still plentiful in Georgia, however, less
than the average output is promised The
outlook for other fruits is generally en-
couraging.
