TAFT WILL SUCCEED HIM.
Oyster Bay, Aug. 1l.-Elihu Root

resignation to take effect about the 1st
of next January. He will be succeed
ed, unless present plans miscarry, by
Judge VIM. H. Taft, now governor of
the Philippines. Judge Taft's appoint

ON The COAST Line.
General Changes Of Road Masters
Cutting Down Carpenter Force.

There have been very radical changes
on the Coast Line recently, the road
masters have been changed very
materially. J. B. Biggs, who was
located here has been transferred to
the Plant System and Quinn Jeffords,
who will be we'll remembered here,
has been transferred from the M. and
A. to the Charleston division to take
MI. Biggs place. G. FL. Newman will
be retained here, though it is under
stood that he has been assigned to the
M. and A., but secured permission to
remain where ne now is.
There have been changes in most Of
the divisions In Wilmington, as al
ready noted number of men have
been dropped from the carpenter
shops 1t has been announced that no
further building of new cars would be
prosecuted this summer. It is said in
some Q uarters that this is on account
of lack of material. The men in the
car shops are little nervous for fear
that the reduction in force will extend
all along the line.-Florence Times.

is not yet finished in the western
counties, but will be in short time.
Both early and late corn improved
under the influence of the humid and
showery weather, except where the
former is too nearly ripe to have been
affected. Fodder pulling is underway.
The weather conditions were favor
able for the development of cotton, ex-
cept that on sandy lands it made little
or no improvement. In few places
cotton has grown too much to weed,
and is not well fruited, but generally
it has fruited nicely, with compara-
lively little shedding, except on sandy
lands, where cotton is shedding both
leaves and forms. Rust has appeared
in number of widely separated coun-
ties, and is spreading rapidly. Open
bolls have been noted in Beaufort and
Georgetown counties, with indica-
tions of early opening of bolls over the
southeastern counties generally. Sea-
island cotton has improved, and is
blooming profusely.
Tobacco curing continues in the CEN
trial and western districts, but may
be said to be practically finished. Rice
is ripening in the coast districts, is
heading in Colleton county, and is
clean and growing nicely in the
Georgetown district. All minor crops,
forage and root crops, are
very promising. Fall crop of white
potatoes being planted; also turnips
and truck crops generally. The week
was too dry in the Charleston district
for truck just coming up, and for
strawberries.

CROP CONDITIONS BETTER.
Cotton Has Made Good Growth
Throughout the Belt.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions says: Generally cotton has
made favorable progress, but con-
tinues unusually late. Some COM
plants OF rust are received from South
Carolina, Florida and Mississippi,
but as rule very little complaint of
rust or shedding is reported. The
crop has made good growth through
out the belt and is generally well
friuted. No picking is reported and
it is estimated that the work will not
