The climate and crop bulletin issued by
the United States Weather Bureau for the
week ending July 14th IA Is as follows:
GENERAL SITUATION.
Up to Thursday afternoon the temporal
! lures of the week ranged high. and as
the soil was in good order. all classes
of crops make a very, good growth. After
Thursday, however. the weather turned
cooler and remained so for the rest OF
the week. This in measure checked
growth, but not sufficiently so to make
crops backward. The rainfall occurring
over the State was on the whole
abundant and well distributed except In
the Valley division, where showers were
rather light and local. Some cores
pondents in this section, therefore, re-
port that rain Is needed. Excellent
opportunity has been afforded for work
in the field, and field crops and gardens
are generally clean and free from weeds
and grass. Laying by of the various
crops has been progressing, and this
work is now finished in Tidewater and
Middle Virginia counties. The hay crop
.tas been about secured The yield is
light in most sections.
Winter wheat: This crop has been Sc
cured In about all localities and is either
In stack or in barn. Threshing has been
progressing. and reports as to yield show
no CndHSS IIOH1 pIdF1OUS
yields, but an excellent quality Of grain
Spring oats harvest has continued dur
ing the week over an increased area AS
a rule, the yield is fair though the straw
is short. In portions of the Valley divt-
sion late fields are ripening.
Corn made excellent progress during
the week Showers and warm weather
were very beneficial to the crop, and 1t
made a rapid advance until Friday, when
growth was slower. Inc fields are clean
and a large part Of the crop laid by.
It is in very promising condition in all
portions Of the State.
Tobacco: The improvement In this
crop has been decided. While there are
some late fields where the plants are
small as yet, and others in which they
are irregular. due to resetting, yet on the
whole the weather Of the week was IA
vorable, and the crop Is doing we'll.
Potatoes Qrish) are coming forward
nicely in the Middle and Valley divi-s
sions, though in the latter the weather
is rather too dry for best results. Sweet
potatoes are doing well.
Fruit: Correspondents. almost without
exception, report apples and peaches to
be falling. The former is already
scarce. and the latter below the average
Other fruits are doing very we'll.

atmosphere was very oppressive in the
hall and toward the close OF Mr.. Cations
effort. the members and visitors thinned
out considerably. Colonel Cation is a
strong lawyer, and his argument was an
able legal one, and the apparent lack of

determination of The members to take the
oath. ;,
At 80 o'clock P. NJ, for the second

Miss Maude Chisham Dying OF
Bullet Wounds.

Maryville, Mo-, Sept. 22.-Great ex-
element prevails in this town and
village of Fairport, nine miles north,
on account of the probable fatal
shooting of Maude Chisam by her
lover, Marion Lucas, at Fairport.
Lucas, who is a young farmer, quar-
relied with Miss Chisam, handsome
young woman of 16 years, and fired
four shots from a revolver at her
after their return from a drive and
stroll which had been continued
from nine o'clock until midnight.
1t is generally believed in the neigh
borhood that the shooting resulted
from a mad love and the girls re-
fusal to marry her lover, although
Lucas, who is now in Jail, claims he
was driven to desperation by the
girl imploring him to marry her.
Miss Chisam is popular in school,

London, Sept. 2o.-Stanley Spencer,
a well-known English aeronaut, yes
terday successfully accomplished a
remarkable fight over London in an
airship of his own invention. It is
estimated that his ship travelled
nearly 80 miles. From observations
of those on the ground Spencer
seemed to have complete control of
his vessel He has been experiment.
ing recently with his vessel at the
Crystal palace. Finding the condi-
tions suitable, he suddenly decided
to start off on his dangerous voy-
age late yesterday afternoon and the
usual crowd of palace spectators
gave him hearty send-off. The air
ship at once rose to height of about
800 feet. After travelling for about
mile with practically no deviation
in his course Spencer made various
detours and seemed able to steer his
ship as easily as a torpedo boat.
