the weather conditions being generally
favorable for farming. Rain is very
generally needed however, over the
middle and south Atlantic and gulf
coast district and also in the central
valleys and middle Rocky mountain re-

Very little damage by frost has occurr-

where rains caused some damage
1.-The conditions have been favorable
for gathering corn and husking has made
favorable progress.
'In Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa, fall
grain has made vigorous growth, but
needs rain over limited areas in the
two last named states. In Missouri, IL

and growth of fall sown grain has been
checked by absence of moisture. In In

been favorable for cotton picking and
except over limited areas the bulk of
the crop is now gathered"

A BROAD GAUGED
CHARTER GRANTED
Legislature Said to Have Passed One
Under Which Anything Can
be Done.

After all the talk about the danger OF
III advised and vicious legislation creep
ing in at the extra session of the General
Assembly, the body is said to have
granted a charter whose provisions are
remarkable to a degree.
1t is stated by one in q position to know
that a company was Incorporated Tor
one of the Piedmont counties, under the
name OF manufacturing company, and
that there is absolutely no limit TO what
the corporators may do under its pro-
visions.
The widest range is given between the
minimum and maximum capital stock.
according to the story, and it will allow
almost any line of business to be carried
on from the building of a railroad down to
the operating of a. saw mill
But the most remarkable provision,
and the one which causes widest COM
ment is that 1t forbids the State to amend
the charter in any way for fifteen years.
The bill originated in the Senate, and
was brought over to the House in the dy
ing hours OF the session. when the mem
bers were worn out and anxious to get
through with their work and go home.
There is no iutimatIon that the bill
was railroaded through either branch.
but the wonder is that it escaped the
eagle eyes OF the great objectors' who
usually demanded that all charters be
read or their provisions explained by the
patrons.
