NORTH STATE CROPS.
Too Much Rain Has Caused Crops to
Dete-iorate.

He rcmer.lc Oc crOI correspondents
Tor the week just past are generally
quite unfayorable, and indicate con-
flderable injury to crops by excessive
moisture, and only slight improvement
III favored localities. The chief OBJ
JectiOnable feature was the large
amount OF rain. occurring about the
10th and 18th, though at many points
showers fell on every day of the week.
Farmers hardly had an opportunity to
| cultivate crops, which have again be-
come very foul; and besides the wash
inG of lands by heavy rains bottom
| lands have been flooded again, neces-
stating the general abandonment Of
lOWland croIs thro. ghout many coun-
ties. The temperature averaged near
the normal or slightly below, and
there were no extremes; the amount
of sunshine was deficient
Crops have been very generally in
Jured by the abundant rainfall which
entirely prevented blowing, and oblig-
ed many farmers to lay by crops
While very grassy. On uplands and
on stiff, impervious clay soils some
what Detter conditions prevail, and
where cultivated such crops look well
and promise fair yields. The advan-
tages Of small farms which are more
easily kept clear appear under such
adverse condition as have prevailed
during the present season. In a few
northeastern counties (Hertfort,
Gates) and generally in the valleys
west Of the Blue Ridge mountains the
conditions have been favorable, though
rain is needed in Swain, Cherokee and
adjoining counties.
The general condition Of cotton is
not promising anywhere in the State
and the abandonment Of grassy fields
continues; however, where properly
cultivated cotton is doing fairly we'll,
though generally making too much
weed, and not fruiting rapidly; cotton
Is shedding forms badly in many To-
calities; in some counties on the east
ern slope of the Blue Ridge the crop
seems to be blooming and forming
fruit more freely; but for the State
at large the consensus Of opinion is
that the crop is very inferior.
Much corn on bottom lands was de-
stroyed by freshets; on uplands the
crop looks fairly we'll, though some
Is turning yellow; the weather has
been too wet to finish laying by in
good order. Cutting and curing to-
bacco is progressing slowly, with
some good cures reported; it is large
enough to cut in central counties
which will be done as soon as the
rains cease; some tobacco is poor
and has started second growth. Wheat
and spring oats in shock have been
injured by rains, and much Of the
crop which was housed while damp
has moulded considerably. Sweet po-
tatoes, peanuts, field peas and rice
are still doing well, though the growth
of grass and weeds is threatening.
Melons and cucumbers are rOting.
Some water melons are ripe. Fruit is
also decaying, especially grapes. Hay
making has been interrupted, and
many meadows need cutting. Trans
planting strawberries is underway.

When the train left the track all the

used by w. r. Fraley in lighting tie

the waters of the Delaware river was
success in every way. One of the
largest crowds that has ever seen a
Warshlp leave the ways at CAMPS
yards was on hand and patriotism
ran wild as the ship left her cradle.
Launchings Of warships at Cramps
nave been so frequent that in late
years, such events have lost much of
thelr attractive power. The presence
OF the immense crowd at this christ
eHlng was largely due to the fact that
the new snip bears the name of the
lll-fated Maine. kensignton, the great
Industrial station wherein the ship
yard is located, took holiday and at
tended the launching. Thousands of
persons from other parts of the city
were on hand and as the yard was

The honor of christening the ship

her every movement was closely fol

erected at the bow of the hull. She
was escorted by Henry S. Cramp, and
was accompanied by Governor Hill,
his staff, her parents and several 9TH

she arrived the knocking away of the
