.DO|NGPRETTY WELL
North Carolina Crops All
Reported as Being in
Good Condition.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin issued for
the week ending Monday July Is,
says:
The temperature during the week
was warm in all sections of the State,
and ranged slightly above normal. The
rains during the week fell principally
on the 18th and 18th, although there
were a few scattered showers on the
18th; the latter part of the week was
therefore, generally fair and FAVOR
able for growth of crops and for the
advancement of farm work. The DIS
tribution of the rainfall was very IL
regular; in the sOuth-central countess
particularly Arson and Alamance,
there has been entirely too much; ana
as a result, q number of corn ana cot
ton fields on loWldnds are lodged ana
becoming weedy. Reverse conditions
prevail in the northeastern counties,
where practically no rain has fallen
recently; and the crops, while clean
and we'll worked are beginning TO
show the effects of the prevailing dry
weather. The rainfall has been def
Gent also in most of the western
counties and in sections of Guiltord,
stokes and Surry The most favor
able weather conditions have prevail
ed in the middle and southeastern
counties, where the week has been eX
ceptionally favorable for the agricul-
turaliSt.~
Cotton continues to do we'll and is
blooming freely. In the south-centrai
counties, where the rains have been
| excessive, there are a number of COM
plants of lodged and Weedy fields, and
of a too rapid growth; some COM
plants of lice have been received from
| BERTHE county; but elsewhere the crop
| is growing satisfactorily, even under
| the adverse weather conditions in the
| northea stern counties. Corn has q
| good healthy color and the stands are
! satisfactory; it is silking and tassellng,
| and is being worked the last time.
| Threshing wheat and oats is in full
progress in the central and western
| districts with satisfactory results in
| regard to the yield and quality. The
| tobacco plant continues thrifty, al
| though still backward in most places;
| topping is general in the western and
central counties, while in the eastern
! counties curing has already begun.
| Watermelons are ripening, and Il num-
Der of large shipments have been made
from the eastern and southern coun-
ties: the quality of the melon is va
| riabIe. The reports in regard to the
fruit prospects are contradictory. Ber-
ries will be plentiful, while apples

COTTON GROWING RAPIDLY.
AS Whole the Tobacco Crop Makes
Good Progress.
(Bv the Associated Press.

Washington, July 19.-The Wealth
er Bureaus weekly crop report says;
Cotton has continued to make rapid
growth throughout the cotton belt
with the exception of Texas, where al
though well cultivated and fruitine
nicely, its advancement has been
checked by dry weather.
From portions of the Carolinas
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana, complaints of grassy fields
are received and in some sections OF
these States too rapid growth of stalk
is reported. In Georgia the crop is in
very promising condition, little com
paint of damage from any source be-
ing received from that State. Dry
weather and abundant sunshine have
checked the ravages of the boil weevil
in Texas.
AS a whole, the tobacco crop con-
tinues sin promising condition, al
though backward in North Carolina
and Virginia. Some "frenching" is re-
ported from Kentucky.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edy, fulflls every wish in curing
rheumatism, pain in the back, kid
neys, liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passage. 1t corrects in

lowing use of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant neces-
sity of being compelled to go often
during the day. and to get up many
times during the night The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp
Root is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine you should have the best.

women and tee-totallers, any plea for
abstinence from alcoholic drinks would
nave been lost motion" on such a
day.

Mr.. Bailey declared for the Watts
law, expressing his doubts as to the
wisdom of prohibition in towns of
more than 5000 people, and stated his
belief that the local diSpenSary was the
best method yet devised of controlling
the sale of liquor for the reason that

HAD TO PAY THE TAX.
Advance Agents of Show Thought
Sight Selected Was Out Of City. But
1t Was Not-Were Greatly Surprised
. When They Learned of Their Mis-
take,

There are to be two show in Will
mington his fall, John Robinson's on
October 5th and Forepough and Sells
Brothers on November 18th. The shows
will be held on the suburban line just
inside of the corporation.
In selecting a site the advance agents
thought themselves very foxy and were
of the opinion that the site selected
was just outside of the city limits, but
in this they We're mistaken, but even
the city authorities did not know 1t
until yesterday afternoon. The mayor
did not like the idea of the show CIV
ing a performance outside of the city
limits and wanting to have a parade
and he was thinking Of refusing to al
low the parade unless they paid for the
privilege, but this was before he knew
just where the sight was.
Both shows have made arrangements
for the same grounds and the advance
agents of Forepaugh n Sells Broth
ers were in the city yesterday. They
went to the mayor and wished to get
permission to have a parade. He in
formed them that he guessed they had
best pay the city tax first, which
amounts to several hundred dollars. To
this they demurred, saying the sight
selected was not within the city limits.
AS it happened a map of the city was
convenient and they were shown that
they were mistaken. The grounds are
just within the limits.
After being convinced that they were
wrong they went to the city clerk and
paid the required a and the mayor
then gave them permission to nave a
narade.
