at Savannah.

Mr. Herbert w. Jackson of the Com
mercial and Farmers Bank. has returned
from Savannah, Georgia, where he went
| to attend the session of the North Caro-
lima Bankers Association. The meeting
was held jointly with the Bankers Asso-
Citations of Virginia and Georgia. Speak
ing of his trip Mr.. Jackson said:
"Onc of the pleasaLtest incidents of the
convention was the presentation of
claret set to Mr. John NJ Miller, Jr.s
by the North Carolina bankers in recog-
nition OF his valuable services as secre-
, tsry of the North Carolina Association
ard as an evidence of their high esteem
for Mr.. Miller. He has recently left the
State to take the cashiership of the First
National Bank of Richmond. Col. John
T. Bruton, of Wilson, was exceedingly
happy in mis- presentation of this gift and
received congratulations on all sides for
the happy effort Mr.. Miller responded
in a brief speech, expressing his great
appreciation of the gift. The Savannah
bankers were extremely kind and gave
the convention a handsome lay out ban
Quet. excursion to Tybee, and half
dozen other entertainments that made
every minute OF the stay enjoyable"
ASKED ABOUT the ATTITUDE OF the DdHh-
ers on the Fowler bill, Mr.. Jackson said;
1.-THE Fowler Bill for forming the bank
ing system of the country was brought
to the attention of the three associations
of bankers of Virginia, Carolina and Geor

these associations endorsed the bill. The
Georgia association went so far as TO con-
denim it in very severe terms"

GETTING SHORT JON COAL.
The Effects of the Coal Strike are Being Felt
in Raleigh

The supply of coal in the manufactur-
ing Establishments of Raleigh is running
low as the result of the strike i'm the
coal region, and coal famine is feared
here.
The Raleigh Electric Company, for the
first time in it's history is using wood as
its coal is out. Some fifteen to twenty
cords are used a day. The Carolina Ice
/ Company has one car load on hand, but
the Water Company has several weeks
supply
Messrs. Johnson & Johnson, coal deal
ers, have only few tons on their yards
and cannot say when more will arrive.
Messrs. Jones & Powell say that they
have their large customers supplied for
some weeks ahead. but it is impossible
to predict about future orders at this
time.
Both the Seaboard and the Southern
are all right at present, but the extent
of the strike may cause them some trou
bic as to their coal supply.

Duplin County Tobacco.

Mr.. E. D. Pearsall, of Rocky
Point, was in the city yesterday.
He recently made a trip through
Duplin County and showed US three
samples of beautiful bright tobacco
grown in that county by MI. Albert
Turner, an enterprising farmer who
lives near MCGOWAN. Mr.. Turner
recently marketed his crop at Kin
ston, where it was sold by Knott
Bros, at 1872, 81, 80 and As cents per
pound, according to quality. Prices
hold up well and the tobacco growers
are happy.
Fine tobacco is grown on the light
sandy lands of Duplin County. Lands
that will hardly produce $50 pounds
of lint cotton worth little more less
than $22, yield from 1000 to 1900
pounds of tobacco that nets the
planter 5000 per acre. The better
grades of tobacco yield about 900
pounds to the acre.-Wilmington

Cotton has not improved and will
be far short of an average crop; the
bolls have completed their growth
and are opening very fast, some pre-

very widespread. Picking cotton is
now general and is advancing more
rapidly. Late planted cotton is still
green and will give a small top crop.
Corn is practically made, and is a
very good crop. on bottom lands,
though short on uplands; much corn
has already been cut and placed in
shocks. Fodder pulling is nearly
finished. Making sorghum syrup has
begun. Tobacco is all cured except
in the larger producing counties in
the north from Granville to Surry
where the work is still in progress

CROP REPORTS
COMPARISONS OF CROP CONDI-
TON.
Report of Statistician of Agricultural
Department.

Washington, Sep. 1.-THE month
ly report of the Statistician of the
Department of Agriculture shows
the average condition of the corn
crop on September 1 to have been
94.3 as compared with 86.5 on Au-
gust 1, 1902; SIT on September 1,
1901; 500 at the corresponding date
in 1900, and a ten-year average of
1873, except in Kansas and South Da-
kota, which reported a decline of u
points respectively during August.
No material change of conditions is
reported from any of the principal
corn States except those of the
South and the State of Michigan;
they again report condition V
ages in excess of their respective av-
erages for the last ten years, not
withstanding its marked decline dur
ing August. Kansas reports a con-
dition of 81 OF" Is points above it's
ten-year average, while Nebraska and
Missouri exceeds their respective ten
year averages by IS and % points re-
s~pectively.
The crop, however, is so late that
through the entire northern portion
of the belt predictions of more than
an average crop are invariably made
contingent upon the immediate adj
vent and continuance for some days
of the rast favorable conditions of
Weather.
The average condition at harvest
of winter and spring wheat COM
bined was 80 against 82.8 last year,
69.6 in 1900 and a ten-year average
of 1879.
The average condition of oats
when harvested was 87.2 against 72.1
last year, 82.9 in 1900 and a ten-year
average of 1911, while correspondents
report the harvesting of an excep-
tionally large crop of oats. There
are indications that the crop will be
very deficient in point of quality.
There was a decline in the condi-
ton of sweet potatoes during Au-
gust and in all the principal States
except New jersey, Virginia and
South Carolina.
An improvement in the condition
of rice during August is reported in
but one of the rice-growing States
North Carolina-in which State an
improvement of 4 points was made
during the month. In Louisiana and
South Carolina there was a decline
of 2 points; Georgia 5, Florida and
Alabama 4, Texas 5, and Mississippi
II, and in all rice-growing States
except Texas conditions range 1 to
R5 points below their eight-year
Eerage.

Because he became enraged at the

yesterday morning, young man named
Hawkins and employed at a whiskey
still near Wilmington, made two at
tempts to burn the house. The last at
tempt came near being successful, and

Hawkins made his escape, but was later

At the meeting of the Board of Alder

that direction.
