ALL AVAILABLE CONVICTS
TO BE PUT ON MARION ROAD
Small Contracts Are to be Called in and Only One
Convict Camp Maintained. Condition of the
Crops on the State Farms.

Supt. Mann and Director Hackett, OF
the penitentiary, are now in the west
making preparations for sending to that
section some 400 or 500 convicts to build
the proposed railroad from Marion to
the Tennessee line.
1t is the intention of the peniten-
tiary management to call in all the
convicts now out at work in the smaller
camps and send them to this road
which makes application for 500 men.
This will greatly reduce expenses, as il
is almost as costly maintaining a small
camp as a large one
The cOnvictS to be furnished this road
will be sent there at once, the crops
now being about laid by" and work
on the road will be pushed as rapidly
as possible. This work, the directors
hope, will enable them to make the in
stitution pretty nearly self-sustaining
during the fall months, despite the dis
aSterS to the crops on the State farms
from rains and river freshets.
Mr.. w. T.. Crosland, one of the direct
ors, was in Raleigh yesterday on his
way to the State farms. He goes there
to inspect the crops, ascertain the flood
damage and have the cotton gins put in
order for the crop soon to be gathered.
I'VE had originally 1,5O0 acres of cot
ton on the State farm he said. "Only

'about 900 acres of this was left by the
flood, and on it we hope to make 500
bales. possibly more The weed was
never finer than it now is, and my ex-
perience is that because of this fact we
always in wet years, over-eStimate the
crop and in dry years we under-es
mate it. On the Tillery farm the flood
damage was small: we will raise 400
bales there, of which the State will get
200
"On the Arson farm We'll raise abou'
80 bales The supervisor thinks We'll get
60 or rs bales, but | doubt it. Crops in
Anson are the worst I've ever seen. AT
least % per cent of the cotton crop in
that county was abandoned, and what
is left is, as a rule poor. And as for
corn, therell not be enough raised to
last two months. The farmers there
are in a terrible fix.
'On the Roanoke State farms we
planted about 100 acres of peanuts, but
the rains and freshets have left us only
about 800 acres, and even on that the
stand is poor. The corn crop is very
fine, though the acreage of that also
was reduced by the floods
Mr.. Crosland say his own crop in
Richmond county was never so poor
since he's been farming. He has 200
acres in cotton, but doesn't think he'll
make much over half a crop unless the
fall is a remarkably favorable one.

FRENCH wARsHIP AT COLON.
No New Developments IN the Colombian vene-
zuelan Situation
(Bv Associated Press.)

Washington, August 14.-NO important
deyelopments in the Colombia Venezuela
situation were made known to the State
Department during the early part of to-
day, and the reGort of tn death OF Cen
eral Tribe -Uribe could not be confirmed
in any official quarter.
1t is expected that the Machias will
complete her coaling and taking on of
ammunition by tonight and will be Off
for Panama by tomorrow morning.
The French warship Suchet has arrived
at Colon Although the French are un-
derstood to have considerable property
interests on the isthmus it is said there
is no provision in the treaty between
France and Colombia, similar to that in
the treaty between France and the
United States, requiring that free tran
sit across the isthmus shall be kept
open. However, it is not doubted that
the presence of the Suchet will have a
salutary inuence in quieting disorder.
The statements made in the French
press to the effect that the incident on
the isthmus might lead to an American
acquisition in that quarter receive no at
tention or credence in the best posted
official quarters.
