Washington, June 25.-The weather
bureau weekly summary of crop condi-
tions is as follows: The temperature
conditions so far for the week ending
June "a, were highly favorable in
nearly all parts of the country. The
south Atlantic States which suffered
from excessive rains in the previous
week have experienced more favorable
conditions for the cultivation which
has bene seriously delayed.
Further and general improvement in
the condition of corn is indicated. In
the Southern States the corn is doing
we'll except in Texas, Louisiana and
southern Mississippi, where it is
greatly in need of rain, especially in
Texas. In the Atlantic coast States
the crop has made favorable progress,
but needs cultivation in portions of
Virginia and the Carolinas. Winter
wheat harvested and has advanced un-
der favorable con itions during the
week. Increased reports of rust are
received from Ohio and Virginia. In
the Carolinas grain in stock has suffer
ed some injuries from moisture. In
the central portions of the cotton belt
cotton has continued to improved. In
the Carolinas and Florida the crop is
very grassy, but has received much
needed cultivation in Georgia. In
South Carolina, however, a slight i'm
provement is reported, but in both
Carolinas and Florida the condition of
the crop is not very promising, some
fields in South Carolina have been
abandoned. Over the northern portion
of the western districts cotton has
made rapid growth and while holding
out we'll in Louisiana and Texas it
would be greatly benefited by rain.
Some picking has been done in south
ern Texas. In the principal tobacco
State tobacco is growing we'll and the
stands are good. Transplanting is now
about finished in the more northerly
section and cutting has begun in
South Carolina.

Columbus, O., June 24.-The Re

today with large attendance. During
the forenoon interest centered in the
control of the new State committee.
the construction of the platform and
the fight that the State AntiSaloon
league was making against the renom-
nation of Lieut.. Gov. Caldwell and
the accompanying resolutions are still
being agitated tonight, but the contest
for State committeeman resulted IN
what is called a unanimous victory for
the Hanna men, including the friends
of Gov. Nash and others. The result
assures the reelection of Congressman
Dick as chairman of the State execu-
tive committee.
Charles Foster, ex-secretary Of the
treasury. ex-governor, eX-congressman
and for many years delegate at large
to national conventions, was defeated
for member of the State central COM
mittee because of his opposition to
Senator Hanna. While the Hanna

Wednesday afternoon while witness
was on the stand and being examined
he was asked if he was in the habit
of carrying a pistol. He replied that
he occasionally did so. He was then
asked if he had a pistol in his pocket
at that time. He replied in the
affirmative and produced the pistol,
which, by the direction of Judge Buch-
anan was turned over to an officer OF
the court. This was the most sur
prising occurrence that has resulted
from the examination of witness IN
this court house within the memory
of the attendants at court. The result
was surprising, not that the party IN
der examination had a pistol on his
person, for if everybody in court had
been examined in the same way and
had been as candid as the witness no
one doubts but that many other pis-
tolls would have been brought to light.
The law against carrying concealed
weapons is the most generally disre-
garded law on the statute books and
few people seem to think it wrong to
violate IL.

One day he stumbles upon fortune,
a purse some one had lost. How he
was tempted to keep it. But no, he
must find its owner if possible. A few
days after he hears some speak of
the lost purse. Cautiously he seeks
to know its owner, whom he has no
sooner found out than be delivers it
up. They offered him reward which
he refused. saying it was work he
wanted. This he obtained, and ap-
piled himself so industriously, so
faithfully that he steadily gained the
confidence and esteem of his employ
ers, till at last he is at the head. All
this time he was reading, studying,
praying, working among the people
with whom he had been brought up.
They had watched him narrowly at
the first, and thought he would soon
fall through, but when weeks and
months had passed, having been tried
in every possible manner his very life
began to bear fruit. In the meantime,
with the assistance of some he had
started sabbath school, at first few in
numbers but which steadily grew.
Here, as occasion offered he exercised
his homely gifts in an awkward way,
not without results. Gradually his
work grew upon him, calling for more
time, more attention, more study,
more work. His employers were 10th
to give him up when at last he stood
before them and declared his purpose
to devote himself to this work, work
that wrought reform in the darkest
part of great city, He has passed to
his reward, but that mission, great
church now, stands as his glorious
monument. "Can any good come out
of Nazareth?'' "Hagood."

OUR CHILDREN.

Are children born orators? One day
Mr.. Moody preached most moving
sermon: it was soon after he began
to preach. Some one went up to him
and asked, ''How did you get up that
sermon?" He answered, sBy study,
meditation and prayer. Does any
body believe it would have come to
him any other way? Demosthenes,
down by the seaside with pebbles in
his mouth. speaking to the waves, is a
pathetic picture of one fighting obvi-
Gus destiny. Could anyone have con-
vinced him that his name would have
became synonymous with eloquence
without struggle? I have seen it

Adams, was turned out of the school

no meeting Of the ministers Of the
fc reign powers at Peking since last
Tuesday, but the ministers them
selves all profess satisfaction with the
present course Of events.
The Chinese forts have not yet been
destroyed. It has been determined
that each nation will destroy those
forts nov occupied by its troops, but
the ministers find that the respective
military commanders object to destroy
ing Chinese forts not occupied by
their troops Consequently the minis
tiers will probably have to employ Chi

The Virginia Carolina Chemical
Co. is reaching out after ali the inde
pendent oil mills in this State, and
viii in time undoubtedly acquire all
of them that are really wanted. When
this has been brought about the next
thing to be looked for is the formation
OF big cotton oil trust which will be
able to fix the price of seed, oil and
meal. There is one thing about the
cotton seed Gil industry that the trust
will have to consider in fixing the
price to be paid for seed and that IS
shat seed are valuable as ferti-
lizer and the farmers are not compel
led to sell them except for a fair
price. If the price is fixed TOO low
the farmers can put the seed back on
the land that produced them and they
will be just as well OF as
if they had sold them at q
fair price. When tee price Of
cotton is below the cost Of production
the farmers are compelled to sell ard
suffer the loss, but they are independ-
ent in respect to the price of seed, and
can sell or use them at home as they
see fit.

Attention is directed to the an

college is the Alma Mater of too many

this, that Davidson College maintains
the highest standard of scholarship
and that boy sent to Davidson will
not only obtain a thorough education
but that during his college life he will
be surrounded by the best influences.
