THE CROPS
The Heat Has Done Great
Deal Of Damage
IN THE WEST
Corn and Oats Will Not Be
Plentiful this Year

Chicago, July 9.-Railway officials
OF western lines are still more or less
disturbed over the prospects for corn
and oats. Hot weather combined
with lack OF rain in some sections Of
the corn belt, where it. was much
needed, were not beneficial for the de-
velopment of the grain
AT the same time conditions were
propitiouS for finishing the winter
wheat harvest
There are spots in the west, par
ticularly in southern Kansas, where
corn and oats have been damaged by
hot weather and these crops have
also been damaged in Missouri. The
corn crop is late and did not get q
good start.
Many OF the best posted corn ex-
pertS say it is not possible to raise
full average corn crop even with the
immense acreage, as the hot weather
has stunted its growth in number CT
sections.
In the greater part Of Nebraska, in
Iowa. in Illinois and a portion of Mis-.
souri, there has been little if any dam.
age OF serious character, though
these sections need soaking rains te-
fore the end OF this week.
So far the canvass OF most railway
crop reporters does not confirm the
more sensational statements sent out
by spectators

MONEY IN THE PEOPLES POCKETS
STATE ADOPTION.

Col. JOS. f Robinson in GoldsbOro Argus.
Now, from what we saw al Raleigh, and
from letters sent over the State. we are
convinced that an effort will be made;
first TO continue for term of years the
books now in use in the public schools of
North Carolina, thereby shutting out all
competition. and fastening upon the chill
dren of North Carolina inferior books at
high prices.
If this cannot be accomplished, then
the plan is to keep in force the present
system OF county adoption, which is high
~ Objectionable for many reasons One
reason alone is suffcient-that publishers
cannot and VIII not furnish books as
cheap for county adoption as they will
for State adoption.
There are ninetyseven counties in
North Carolina and Il is just as expensive
10 introduce books into one of these nine
ty-seven counties. as to introduce books
in the whole State where there Is State
adoption. This being true, it is sell evi-
dent that publishers can furnish books
fer less money where there is State adop-
ton than where there is county adoption.
Let there be State adoption of books
let the gates of competition be thrown
wide open; then all publishers can sub
nit their books To a competent commits
sion. and ever book viii then stand on
it's merits both as to the quality and
orice.

THE BRITISH WILL ACCEPT.

w. E. Curtis, in Chicago Record.
We have official information that the
British authorities have the amendments
to the Hay Pauncefort treaty under con-
sideration and the guessing is all in ia
vor of their acceptance, not because our
English cousins like the amendments
themselves or the way in which the Sen
ate handled the treaty, but because Lord
Salisbury and his advisers are familiar
with the temper of the Senate and the
American people. They are aware that
the Clayton Bulwer treaty is offensive
to large part OF our population and that
it's entire repeal would be popular They
know, too, that there is a determination
among our people to build the canal and
own It and control it, and the advantage
to British commerce of such a waterway
would be so great that they can afford 10
sacrifice their pride The indications are,
therefore, that the British government
will swallow the medicine and look as
pleasant as possible.
