Carolina Tobacco Plants Thrifty.
(By the Associated Press. }

Washington, d. c., May 3.-The
Weather Bureau weekly summary of
cotton and tobacco crop conditions is
as follows:
Unseasonably cool weather generally
throughout the cotton belt is unfavor-
able for termination and growth of
cotton. and poor stands are extremely
reported. especially in the central and
eastern districts, where drought is also
proving injurious. Planting is nearly
finished, except in the northern por-
ton of the belt and in the extreme
western cotton counties of Texas. in
which State the stands are generally
good. Cropping is in general progress
over the southern portion and cultiva-
ton has begun in Louisiana and Texas.
In Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio
tobacco plants are small and growing
slowly but in Virginia and North Car
DINA they are in thrifty condition.
Transplanting is nearly finished in
South Carolina and is in progress

SMALLPOX DISAPPEARING.

(special to News and Observer

Especial to News and Obsever)
Rockingham, May 3.-While there
has not been much excitement about
il. there has been good deal of
smallpox in this county during the
winter. DR.. Garrett, the county ply
stefan, informs the writer that he has
treated sixty-one cases, and that there
have probably been number of other
cases which have been concealed from
him. There have been no deaths from
smallpox in the county, though some
of the cases have been severe. There
are only two cases now.
The county Democratic executive
committee met Saturday and called a
convention to be held on Tuesday

delegates to the State. Congressional

Those who have been disposed to
criticize Judge Parker because of the
resolutions adopted by the New YORK
Democratic convention ought to READ
the following interview with Hon. Nor
man F.. Mack, member of the Nation
al Democratic Executive Committee
from the Empire State:
"Those who would criticise the
resolutions adopted by our State con-
vention are in error, though not IN
tentionally so. 1t was the OPINION OF
the party leaders in our State at their
convention that it was not within the
province of any State to adopt plat
form for the National convention
That is a function for the gathering
of party representatives from all
States.
''The party in New York confined
itself to pointing out some questions
that ought to be discussed in the Ma
tiOnal convention. But on the para
mount questions of reciprocity and
revision of the tariff schedule, the
trusts the monetary question, the gov
eminent of people who have come
under our care and are now governed
as colonists, the election of United
States Senators by direct vote, we in
New York believe that it is wiser and
more Democratic to decide the party
course at the National convention.
The resolutions are criticised by
some because we did not insert a
plank declaring for the election OF
United States Senators by the people.
We have already decided that ques-
ton in our State, and at the coming
election we will have our candidate
to succeed Chauncey M. Depew on
the State ticket He will be nomnat-
ed at the State convention. Other
States may net feel the same as we
do on the question: and the majority
| must decide those points"
what are the prospects of Demo-
| cratic SUGGEST" was asked.
Il do not care to say much about
! any State but my own as | am not
| familiar with conditions everywhere.
i So far as New York is concerned.
| however, even the rank and file of
| Republicans, aside from those actively
| interested in practical politics, believe
| Judge Parker will carry the state. We

| Jersey i'm the East, and in view of the

ocratic nominee more than once De
cause of the feud between New 1ofk
State and New York city Democracy.
If that is not what it is preparing 10

And now i'm this matter of a South
ern man.-Tammany would support
him heartily and vigorously. The fire
and vim characteristic of a Southernef
would appeal to that aggregation IN
der the conditions that obtain, a
Southerner would more probably carry
New York State than would Judge
Parker
Without in the least disparaging or
decrying Judge Parker, who would be
the most available man but for the
Hill-Tammany feud, we do not see
why the South should exert itself par
ticularly for a Northern man whose
chances of carrying his own STATE { g

singly or together, to seek the safe
haven found by the Lena last Sunday
Whether the Korea is one of these
two vessels known to be near the
coast, o" whether she is third vagrant
cruiser, is not settled.
It is generally believed in naval cir
cleS that the cruisers referred to are
converted auXiliaries, like the Lena,
but there is a possibility that they are
regular men-of-war which, like the
Lena, were forced to escape to the
eastward. Their machinery being still
in good shape they are keeping the
sea as long as possible and will prob
ably not make port until their. coal
runs out.
It is pointed out that the mere
knowledge that these cruisers may be
encountered anywhere between San
Francisco and Honolulu, or along the
Great Circle route between Puget
Sound and Japan, will have a marked
deteriorating effect upon those en-
gagged in shipping contraband from
American Or British Columbian ports.
