OBSERVATIONS VS.. OBSERVATIONS.
(In 1869, contemporary with the
Caucasian and Express, was published
in Lexington a republican paper called
the Register and, Of course, it being
that period Immediately following the
civil wal feeling of the Caucasian for
its neighbor was not by any means a
charitable one. 10 the Register was
printed what purported to be a
"Carrlers' Address," which was com
mented upon as follows by the
Caucasian:
The address of the Register, we
will venture to say, is a production,
the like of which seldom appears IN
print. The author commences with
four lines that every school boy IL
familiar with; then follows the infor.

North Carolina Cotton.


Raleigh Cor. Charlotte Observer
It is said by farmers that the cotton
crop in this county will not be over
two-thirds what was expected August
LIST.
Roanoke howan Times: From
every part of Northampton comes the
report of short cotton crop. Cotton
is very small growth and the rust is
more general than for many years,
if ever, before in this section.
Duplin Journal: Cotton picking
is in vogue now and the farmers say
that the entire crop will be picked
out much earlier than ever before.
The late crop is doing well and with
a late season a full crop will be har-
vested.
Goldsboro Headlight: Farmers
tells us hat the cotton crop this sea-
son will fall below last years harvest,
as for some unaccountable reason the
usual August crop was entirely lost.
Cotton is now opening fast, in fact
the season this year is two weeks
ahead.
Bayboro Sentinel: Crops are look
ing as fine as we ever saw them in
this county. Rust has struck the
cotton in some places slightly. If
we have no storms Pamlico will har-
vest the largest crop it ever har-
vested.
Wilmington Cor. Charlotte OBJ
server, 1st: A little less than 3O0,-
900 bales of cotton were received
at the port of Wilmington for the
cotton crop year ended to-day. This
is a gain of something over $4,000
bales from the year preceding. Thus
far 5000 bales of new crop staple
have come on the market during Au-
gust as compared with less than 100
bales UP to the same date last sea-
son. The crop is at least two weeks
in advance of last season.
Yesterday was a pretty brisk day
in the Charlotte cotton market. Dur
ing the day 165 bales were sold, at
$50. The farmers insist that the
crop is going to be a short one in
Mecklenburg. They say that no Au-
gust cotton will be made. The cotton
has been opening prematurely and
rapidly. The first new bale last year
was received on September 5. Up
to yesterday over 500 bales of the
new crop had been sold in Charlotte.

CROP REPORTS
.oNDITION OF COTTON CROP THE
LOWEST EVER RECORDED.

The Average on August 10th was o.
Disastrous Conditions in Texas and
Alabama-North Carolina Crop Above
the Average.
Washington, Sept. 4-The month
" report of the Statistician of the
Department of Agriculture, issued
yesterday, shows the average condi-
ton of cotton on August 26 to have
been 81, as compared with 81.9 on
July 25; ia on August "a, 1901; 68.2
on September 1, 1900, and a ten year
average of 1871.
The present unprecedentedly low
average of condition, which is two
tenths of a point lower than the con-
dition on September 1, 1896, is due
mainly to the reports from Texas and
Alabama, in both of which States the
prevailing conditions are nothing less
than disastrous. The average for
Texas is 3 points lower than at the
corresponding date in 1895 and 1901,
and is the lowest ever reported for
that State. In Alabama, also the
CROP is the poorest ever known. Geor-
gia reports 8 points below it's ten
year average, the condition figures
being n point below the correspond
ing averages in 1899 and 1900. The
condition in Louisiana is the same
as on September I, 1899, or six points
below its ten year average, but its
condition is still 8 points above that
at the corresponding date in 1900.
South Carolina is within one point
of its ten year average, and North
Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas
r two points, s points and 1 point
above their respective ten year aver
ages.
There are general complaints of
the premature opening and imper-
feet development of boIls, and from
South Carolina-a State whose re-
n, It's are far from being among the
most unfavorable-the statement is
made on the authority of ginners
that about IA per cent more seed cot
ton is required for a 500 pound bale
than in an average n year.
The averages of condition in the
different States are as follows: Vir-
ginia, 80; North Carolina, 80; South
Carolina, IA; Georgia, 68; Florida,
IS; Alabama, "a; Mississippi, 60;
Louisiana, 70; Texas, So; Arkansas,
IS; Tennessee, 80; Missouri, 70; Ok
lahoma, rs; Indian Territory, 68.

A BLACK BLIGHT
KILLS POTATOES

The Agricultural Experiment Station
officials are just now hunting for a
remedy for the black potato frost or
blight which has spread to the farms
In the North Kohala district on Ha-
wall. Some time ago the blight was
reported to be doing considerable dam
age on Maui, but this is the first time
that 1t has been reported to Director
Jared Smith from Hawaii. The same
remedies which are now being expert
mented with on Maui Will be sent to
Judge Atkins of the Balanona farm in
North Kohala, where the potatoes are
suffering from the blight.
Judge atkins writes concerning his
trouble: Il send by parcel post
package containing potato tops, in or
der that you may investigate If posi-
Bile the reason for the potatoes turn
ing black before they are half ma
tured.
THE leaves turn black in spots at
first. then all the leaves turn the same
color, and the stalk dies before the
potato is more than half matured. We
used to raise the best potatoes on the
Islands in the Kohala district, but for
the last three years our crops have
been an entire failure. l used fresh
seed from California these last two
years, but 1t turned out just the same.
To all appearances the potatoes look
as If the black frost had struck them.
only that the whole field turns black at
the same time. The frost generally be-
gins at one end of the field and in
about week or ten days will grad
ually cover the entire field"
Assistant Director sedgwlck has TAX
en- up the matter and will attempt to
secure some remedy for the disease.
Experiments are now being conducted
in the Eula district on Maui. and as
result of these Investigations some
remedy for the black frost" may be
discovered.
