teresting. Heretofore Col. Bryan had
only named Judge Clark as among
the eligibles; if this dispatch is to
be trusted he now announces him as
his f~avorite; and while Col. Bryan's
counsels will not be potential in the
next National Democratic Conven-
ton, while it is not likely that Judge
Clark will be the conventions nomi-
nee, the North Carolina delegation
will of course vote for him, as it
voted for him for the nomination for
Vice-President in the convention of
1900, and this boom by Col. Bryan,
who is yet an influence in Democratic
politics, and this convention support
by his own State, will greatly pro-
mote Judge Clark's Importance as
a candidate for the Senate in 1907.
Gas a result of good prices for
white potatoes the farmers of my
section are more prosperous than
they have been since the Civil War;"
said Mr.. Walter L. Cohoon, of Eliza
beth City, who was here on business
yesterday. He continued: II know
one farmer who cultivated a two
horse farm and who cleared twelve
hundred dollars on potatoes this
spring. Those whose crop Melted five
hundred dollars are not a few. All
crops are looking well and our farm
ers are prosperous and contented.
The problem of labor is a perplexing
one in some places, but the majority
of farmers have reconciled them
selves to the situation by reducing
the acreage and doing their own
work. This, with the adoption of
improved agricultural machinery, I
believe to be the secret of successful
farming in the future."-News and

Last Weeks North Carolina Crop Bulle-
FIN

U0s
Corn has improved so much, and
looks so green and thrifty, that al
most a full crop is now indicated;
it is caring well; laying by is nearing
completion, except in some western
counties. Cotton is doing well,
though of course still averaging two
to three. weeks late; some CORES
pOndents state that it is growing too
fast to form fruit we'll, but generally
blooms are becoming abundant, ex-
cept in the extreme north portion.
The cultivation of early and adj
vanced cotton is over, and the crop
is being laid by in many counties.
The tobacco crop will be good,
though probably not as heavy nor of
as good quality as last years crop;
cutting and curing tobacco are well
under way as far north as Warren,
and topping is proceeding as far
west as Stokes. New tobacco is in
market in the southeast section.
Peanuts, rice, sorghum, late pota-
toes and other minor crops are doing
well. As North Carolina produces
a larger crop of sweet potatoes than
any other State, it is pleasant to note
that the condition of the crop at
present is extremely promising. The
yield of fruit will be inferior;
peaches are rotting, and there r
more than the usual number of re-
ports of falling apples; grapes will
yield well; drying and canning fruit
are In progress.

William Bass set fire Saturday to some
brakes in his pasture about five miles
from here in Braintree. and the flames
spread in the dry grass to a cut-over wood
lot belonging TO george j. Prince, where
all tree tops left by the choppers furnished
more fuel for the confiagration. Il also
crept short distance into V. /. Spears
land, but is now confined to the pasture in
which il started and has done more good
than harm by burning up considerable
brush and rubbish. Tuesday a pillar OF
smoke was seen to be rising over Granville
mountain, where 200 men are fighting a
fire in the international Paper company's
timber lands that has spread over several
miles.
1t is announced that beginning Monday,
June %, new train with Pullmans will
be run from st. Adams to New York
daily, except Saturday, over the Central
Vermont division. The train will leave
st. Adams at o'clock in the afternoon
and reach New York early the next morn
ing. Ii will start from New York at 3 in
the evening and arrive in Burlington at
$50 the next morning and in st. Adams at
10:45. Going south il should be due in
Randolph not far from o'clock in the
evening, and returning should reach here
some time after in the morning, making
a very convenient arrangement for the
New Workers summering in this vicinity,
as well as for others whom business or
pleasure call to that city.
DIR. j. p. Clifford has leased OF Mrs. S. V
Holman her summer residence, Glenside,
on South Main street, for period OF two
years, and the first of June or soon after
will open it as sanitarium for the treat
ment OF general diseases. The house,
which is OF brick and two stories high. Is
very well planned for hospital purposes so
that il will need no special alteration, and
it is also pleasantly located and has ample
grounds around it. As there is no hos
pital OF any kind now nearer than Mont
pelier or Hanover this would seem to be a
central point for its situation, and not
only great advantage to the village but
to all the region round about. Public aid
to the enterprise is to be rendered in the
endowment Of free beds, securing to the
patient treatment, care and all things
needful for the welfare OF the sick.
