shares in the opinion of Mr.. Ellington,
and that he is satisfied that Tom Dewey
is being concealed by his friends, who
are hoping that a large amount of his
may be arranged satisfactorily
with the directors of the New Bern bank.
While this opinion is generally consiG-
cred most likely, others are firmly con-
WINGED that Dewey has made his depart

IN South America; most probably in the
Argentine Republic.
THE News has heard several times late
ly that the kinsmen of Tom Dewey would
come to his relief and would make good
a large amount of the stolen money.
Such action on the part of his family
is not at all unlikely, as he has some
wealthy relaitives who are exceedingly
fond of him."

Mason and Mason are very clever German

doing anything funny
Take the mirror scene for instance. The
plot of the piece depends upon the fact
that these two look exactly alike and their
wives and others get them mixed. So in
order to destroy the likeness they both
decide to shave, and approach from OPP

the glass broken out. The shaving is per-

CROPS MOVE ALONG
Fair, Warm, Dry and Sunny
Weather Aids Them.
Cotton is Opening Up Rapidly and the Lint
Appears 10 be Very Fine and
Heavy

The North Carolina section of Climate
and Crop Service, through the Weather
Bureau, issues the following weekly crop
bulletin for the week ending Monday. Sep
TENDER IA, 1903. :.
Fair, warm, dry and sunny weather
during the past week was very favorable
for farm work, and farmers made good
progress in gathering crops. There were
showers in the central district on The
sth and 9th, chiefly over the Piedmont
plateau region, which were very bene-
fetal, except that a few severe local
storms with hail and wind caused some
damage to crops in Caswel and Ala
nance counties; elsewhere the entire
week was rather dry. The temperature
averaged nearly degrees daily above
normal but, though the weather was
warm, there were no extremes, and cool
nights are beginning to prevail, especially
in the more elevated western sections
More rain is needed for fall crops, espe
cially turnips and late corn; and rain Is
needed to soften the soil for blowing
which is progressing rather slowly.
The dry weather has been beneficial to
cotton where the weed was getting to be
too large, but in many sections 1t Is
thought that premature ripening Is result
ing from the deficiency of moisture; rust
and shedding are still reported in many
sections; cotton is now opening quite
rapidly in most counties, and picking is
well underway; the crop is being rushed
to the gins and marketed as rapidly as
possible; the lint appears to be fine and
heavy. Gathering old corn is now under
way. Late corn promises a very good
yield; gathering fodder is practically over
IN the south and east, and is just fully
underway in the north and western por-
tions of the State. Cutting and curing
tobacco is progressing well in Alamance,
Gullford Person, Surry, Forsyth and
Caswell, and the cures are reported to
be very good. Digging peanuts has com
menced, crop fair. Sweet potatoes are
excellent; good crop of field peas Is
being gathered rice is ripening and the
harvest begun. During the past week a
fine crop of late hay was cured and safe
ly covered, including Both meadow and
pea vine hay Turnips, where up are
growing well, but the dry weather has
prevented the sowing of winter turnips
in many sections. Glover needs rain.
Breaking land for wheat is progressing as
rapidly as the dry condition of the soil
will permit. and sowing winter oats ard
rye is underway. Scuppernong grapes ale
ripe; the season for other fruit = about
over; late or winter apples are reported
as dropping excessively, and the crop will
be very short.
Rains reported Marion, 237 inches;
Foster, 1.50: Moncure, 0.32; Raleigh, oil;
Liberty, 1856; Greensboro, 0.A; Settle,
1877; Goldsboro, O1O; Charlotte, O.1O;

APPEAL TO FARMERS.
Sec. Parker on Organization
and Concerted Action on
Part of Planters.

Secretly T. B. Parker, of the North
Carolina Farmers State Alliance, has is
sued an appeal to the farmers of the
State for organization and concerted ac-
ton The following is an extract from
it:
"A condition and not a theory now con,
fronts the tobacco farmers--a cnditjon
that is largely due to the lack of intelli-
sent organization and cooperation. We
had as well look the situation squarely IN
the face and govern ourselves accord
ingly 1t is well known that the Ameri-
can and Imperial Tobacco Companies,
after they pooled interests last fall, gave
the farmers a foretaste of what they
might expect this season in the way
OF low prices, which caused tobacco men
generally to advise planting small crop
for 1908.
Had there been active organization
and cooperation among the farmers at
that time and full and free discussion
OF the situation and pending danger, the
tobacco crop for this year would, in all
probability, have been even smaller than
it now is, and provision could have been
made to thwart the purposes of the com
bine to get tobacco for less than the
cost of production. AS it was, some heed
ed the warning and reduced acreage
while others did not Those who did
not are the ones who are now suffering
most from the demoralized conditions
of the market.
And yet these need not feel dis
couraged beyond endurance. They need
only to look back at the days of the
jute bagging trust and remember what
unity of purpose and action did then. The
same unity of action on the part of the
farmers now toward the tobacco trust
would accomplish for them results equal
to those accomplished then. Determine
ton not to sell at a sacrifice, backed up
by concert of action will make them VIC
tors in their fight for better prices. How
ever the farmers now seem to be determ-
ined to come together in organization
the spirit is abroad in the land"
Yesterday Secretary Parker appointed
Mr. Daniel Lane, of Bellair, county CT
ganizer for Craven county. The farmers
of Craven county met in New Bern last
Saturday and organized a surveillance
and drew up a resolution to the effect
hat all the organizations connected with
the Farmers State Alliance be reorganized
and Daniel Lane, of Bellair, Craven coun
ty, be appointed county organizer.

Terrific Storm in Caswell.

The worst storm of the season visited
this section Tuesday afternoon. The wind
and hail both did great damage to the
tobacco crop and in some localities the
entire crop was ruined. Mr.. b. S. Graves
suffered to large extent here, and in
the Oliver section and west of there the
entire crop on County Line creek was
swept. Lightning struck J. H. Kerr's
dwelling, brick building, otherwise would
have been consumed by fire. A tree in
Mrs. Brandon's yard was also torn to
pieces. The cloud came from the north
east and the thunder and lightning was
worst ever seen in this locality.-Cas-
