CROPS GET BETTER
A Dry Week Proves What
Was Needed,
The Farmers in the Various Sections are in Bel
ter Spirits and the General Outlook is
Now Promising.

The weekly crop bulletin of The North
Carolina section of the Climate ard Crop
Service of the Weather Bureau for the
week ending Monday, Nav H. 1903, says
There has been some further improve
ment in crop prospects in North Caro-
lima during the past week, in consequence
Of the favorable conditions that prevailed
for farm work, but crop growth has ad-
vanced slowly. The entire week was very
dry except in the extreme southern and
eastern portions where showers occurred
Monday, May 18th, and Saturday, May
9th, with largest amounts at Wilmington
and New Bern. The rainfall was very
beneficial in that section, and elsewhere
throughout the State a warm rain is aoW
much needed to bring up seeds, promote
growth and soften the hard soil. The
temperature averaged over 3 degrees daily
below the normal, and the deficiency IN
temperature had an unfavorable influence
on growth while moderately warm dur
ing the day, though nowhere reaching 8
degrees, the nights have been quite cool,
and the days cloudy and windy. There
was no interruption to farm work dur
ing the week, and planting of corn and
cotton is now well advanced and in some
sections completed. Lowlands are i'll eX-
cellent filth, but there is increasing com

uplands which are difficult to work.
Planting corn on uplands IS nearing
completion, but most Of the bottom lands
are still to be planted; late planted corn
is coming up somewhat better than early

juring corn to some extent. Planting cot

south, but elsewhere not more than half

some farmers have good stands, but chop

and warmth is needed for cotton which

where a large amount of land is prepared,
and plants are fairly plentiful; setting Is
now awaiting proper seasons The con
dition of winter wheat and oats IS very
diversified; some correspondents report
excellent crops, others that both have
suffered much from rust and fly; wheat
is heading low and small, and the crop
will be below the average. Some peanuts
have been planted; also sweet potato
slips. Gardens continue to improve slowly.
The Irish potato crop is very promising,
and shipments of new potatoes viii soon
begin. Shipments of truck crop and

Crop Report of the National Bureau
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
Washington, May 12.-The weekly crop
report of the Weather Bureau says:
Corn planting continues very late, but
is now in general progress through the
central valleys and has begun in the ex-
treme northern districts. This work has
been carried on under much difficulty in
the lower Missouri Central Mississippi
and Ohio Valleys, and portions of the
middle Atlantic States, owing to hard
and cloddy ground. termination and
growth have been very slow in all dis
tricts.
Although much too cool nearly the
whole of the cotton region has received
abundant rainfall, which was of the
greatest benefit in the central and western
districts, where termination and growth
of cotton are now progressing SATISFACTORY
ly. In the Carolinas Northern Georgia
and Tennessee termination and growth
have been very slow. Planting is very
nearly completed in the northern por-
tion of the belt but the crop is generally
much later than usual
No tobacco has yet been transplanted
north of the Carolinas and Tennessee,
Plants continued plentiful.

Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Asheville, n. c., May 12.-The Citizen
this morning published a special from Co
mmbia, stating that an M w. Spoke was
there in search of his three little children
and that he was full of determination to
get them The article stated that the lit
tie girls were at school in the Asheville
Female Seminary and that they were kid
mapped from that place. Investigation
shows that no such children attended the
Asheville Seminary last session. However,
there is a man here named z. r. Glenn,
who knew a w. NJ Speight, and this is
the man presumably that the Columbia
specials refer to. Glenn said that Speight's
children were supposedly Kidnapped from
his home in Asheville some time ago
Glenn says that some time ago a very
large and boisterous woman ran hurriedly
into the Speight house and said: Does
Mr.. Speight live here? Where are Mr.
and Mrs Speight?" I am going to kill
them both. Here are my children and
am going to take them home. Mrs. Speight
seemed greatly alarmed and ran out of the
back door and made her way to safety in
house across the street.
BY the remark, There are my children"
it was supposed that the strange woman
was Mrs. Speight number one Mr.. Glenn
said that since that day nothing has been
heard from the three children and that
the stranger is suspected of taking the
children with her
