THE OFFICIAL REPORT
Less Than Three Fourths of Crop in
Some Cotton Counties.
CORN AND GRAIN CROPS ARE DAMAGED
In Robson County There Has Been Nearly IS
Inches Of Rain in The Last Five Weeks.
Greatest Flood Damage in
the West.

The cotton crop outlook is now anything
but good.
The June report of the State Agricul-
tural Department, on cotton, which will
be made public today, will be one Of the
lowest on record.
From all the large cotton counties
comes the cry that the rain has ruined
the crop. 1t is two weeks late, grassy
and labor is scarce.
In Robson county, for instance, one
of our largest cotton counties, there
has been 14.2S inches of rain in the past
live weeks and the crop rs estimated by
the Agricultural Departments correspon-
dents at 60 per cent. In Duplin also the
figure is 60; in Edgecombe IS and in Dur
ham go
The average for the State will hardly
be over 80 and it may not reach more
than 10. In some sections it is estimated
that not more than half a crop will be
made.
Complaints of damage from rain come
mostly from the West, however, and
there all crops have suffered alike-corn,
cotton, tobacco and grain. The estimates
in many counties are for not more than
twO-thirds of a crop Of wheat.
Western correspondents say that there
cannot now be anything like an accurate
estimate of the damage done by the
foods.

The First Colored Man Of the South to Receive
Degree From New England College

At the recent commencement ex.
|ercises at Bates College. Lewiston,
Maine the degree of Master of Arts
was conferred upon Prof N. c. Bruce,
one of the first young colored teachers
of the South. In Raleigh, where he
resides and is known, Prof. Bruce has
races They will be glad to hear of the
honor conferred upon him.. The Lewis.
ton Daily Journal has this article about
Prof. Bruce:
IN. c.. Bruce, class of '93, Bates Col
lege, to whom was given the degree OF
Master of Arts pro merito by Bates
College today, has remarkable history
and splendid record. He was born on
farm in Virginia, of slave parents,
brought up in extreme poverty, was
hired out when but a small boy, and
won the name of being the best hoe
hand in the county of Halifax, Va.
Secured work in a store in Danville,
Va, and in three years worked up to
the chief clerk in a large grocery and
dry goods store. Spent the winter
months in school, at Shaw Institution
at Raleigh, NJ C. In 1889 he entered
Bates College freshman class, and by
janitor work at the college and the
Main Street Free Baptist church, by
summer farm work and book selling,
succeeded in getting through with fine
literary averages, emitting him to sec
Ond honors. in Prof. Hayes depart
ment, and a part on the commencement
programme with the few who spoke in
the class of '93. He was also elected
Glass Day orator for the Glass Day
exercises of that year. While in col
lege he united with every phase of col
lege life and activities. Was an influ-
entail member and officer and leading
spirit in the Eurosophian society, in the
Young Mems Christian Association, in
the Reading Room Association. in the
athletic sports and in every way worthy
and useful and successful
Upon graduating he was called to be
an instructor of Classics and History in
Shaw University at Raleigh, N. c., and
in year or SO promoted to full pro-
censorship, and later elected to be Dean
of the excellent college department
connected with the University. He is
thought to be one of the first edu-
Gators among the colored people of the
South
THE degree Of A. NJ, given upon
| evidences Of satisfactory work done,
which alone can secure for any Bates
| graduates such distinction, and the
| unanimity with which the trustees and
faculty have conferred this degree,
ought to be very pleasing to Mr.. Bruce
and his friends and the entire cOlOred
race. For he was not only the first and
| last negro to secure the honor of class
| orator at Bates but is the first, so far
| as is known, to win the degree of A. M.
| Pro meritO) from any New England
| college. Booker Washington a few
years ago received an honorary degree
from Harvard, being the first negro to
| receive an honorary degree from New
| England Mr.. Bruce is the first of his
| race to receive a degree for graduate
work while on his field in the South.

A POET PASSES away
Mr.. TheophiIus H. Hill Dies
of Fever.
HH Was One Of the Few Real Poets North Caro-
lima Has Produced. The Last Poem
He Ever Wrote.

Theophilus Hunter Hill died yester-
dence in this city, after thrc, weeks
illness with fever.
This announcement will cause deep
regret all over the State, for the deceas-
ed was poet whose writing were wide
ly read and much admired.
Mr.. Hill was born in Raleigh sixty
four years ago, the son of DR.. William
G. Hill, one of the most noted physi-
clans in the State. His grandfather,
Mr.. William Hill, was for more than
forty years Secretary Of State of North
Carolina. His mother was a daughter
of Theophilus Hunter, a descendant of
one of the original owners of the prop
erty in the southern part of this city
and it's suburbs.
Mr.. Hill was educated in Raleigh,
principally at the Raleigh Male Acad-
envy, and then read law in this city,
but never practiced Being literary in
his tastes. he became State Librarian
in the early seventies and filled the
office most acceptably for a number of
years.
He was twice married, his first wife
being Miss Laura Philips, of North
ampton county, and his second wife was
Miss Yancey. OF the first marriage
three children survive, Theo. H. Hill,
Jr., and Frank F. Hill. of New York,
and Miss Rosa Hill, of this city; and Of
the second marriage one child, Miss
Temple Hill, survives.
Mr.. Hill was a real poet, being one
of the sweetest singers the South has
ever produced. His notes were always
clear and sweet and gentle. His poems
were as artistic in finish as they were
musical in quality. He. however, only
His earlier verses were published dur
ing the war under Confederate copy
right. The collection usually found on
library shelves was published by Hurd
and Houghton, New York, in 1869, and
embraces "Narcissus," "Hesper," Re
vielle," 'Dulcamara," some verses af-
ter the Odes of Anacreon, as well as
serio-comic verses, and parody on
Lucille" which was then much in
vogue. His Passion Flower and Other
Poems" was published by P. w. Wiley,
/ Raleigh, in 1883. This includes the best
of his earlier poems, as well as num-
Der Of later ones. Among his later
poems were THE Passion Flower"
The Lost Estate" Salad for Lent"
"Vicisti Me Galilee," and others. Mr..
Hills friends urged him for several
years to publish later edition of his
complete poems, and include number
of very sweet poems that have in re-
cent years been published in newspa-
pers and magazines. He had entered
upon the work of publication, and the
new volume was to have been issued
some time this year.

THE REaIMENTAL HISTORIES.
It Takes 80 Cents and Not % to Pay the Post
age on the Books

State Librarian Sheriff. wasn't in
very good humor yesterday. The calls
on him to pay the freight on the re-
Gently published "Regimental Hlsto-
ries" were a bit too frequent to foster
equanimity of temper.
Some time ago State Superintendent
Toon gave out for publication a state
ment to the effect that the histories
were for sale by the State, at 81 each,
and the Librarian would send copy
by mail on receipt of this price accom-
panied by % cents to pay the postage.
This notice was widely copied and
ever since then orders for the book
have been coming in, but in filling
them, Mr.. Sheriff. finds that it takes
80 cents to pay the postage and not %,
so he's out of pocket cents on every
copy of the book sold.
AS soon as he discovered this he
wrote to some of those ordering the
book and asked for the addition 8 cents.
By way Of reply they sent him General
TOon's notice. Mr.. Sheriff. has there
fore-risen in his might and given out
a notice of his own. which he proposes
to plead in bar of all claims on other
IiCIcto'
1t is as follows:
READ THIS!
The first notice sent out in regard to
the Regimental Histories was an error.
When the book is properly wrapped it
takes 80 cents to pay the postage and
% cents does not pay the express.
Parties receiving the book by express
can pay the express on receiving the
book. Postage stamps cannot be re-
ceived in payment for books.
