FARMERS co AHEAD
Conditions of the Crop in
State Fair and Work
Well Advanced.

The weekly Crop Bulletin for week
ending Monday, June 20, 1904, says:
During the first half of the week the
weather over the entire State was too
cool for the growth Of all crops, and
their progress was retarded slightly;
but the latter part was warm, and all
vegetation made q fresh and vigorous
start The amount of rainfall was
deficient, especially in the eastern
half of the State. where the crops in
general are suffering for want OF
moisture. On the 18th and 18th local
showers occurred in the western and
central districts: the rains, however
were light, except in the vicinity Of
Greensboro. and in the extreme west.
In Buncombe county the rain on the
18th was accompanied by hail, which
IN few places was very damaging.
The following are the amounts at a

berton. none; New Bern, Is; We'll
don, .O4; Raleigh and Wilmington, q
trace; Charlotte, 20; Asheville, 80.
While the week was not very favor
able for the growth of crops it was
an ideal one for all farm work, espe-
cially for killing weeds. Farmers
took advantage of the dry weather
and pushed their work rapidly, which
by the end of the week was we'll up
everywhere.
The wheat harvest is in full prog
ress. About three-fourths of the
wheat is cut, the weather being very
much in favor of this work. The
crop is excellent, and is considered
the best for years.
Considering the cool and dry
weather, cotton is doing very well.
The plant is rather small, but has a
good healthy color; chopping is
about over and complaints of lice
are very few. The oat crop is fair in
a few central counties. but in general
it is not dom" very we'll. Corn is be-
ing worked the second time, and is
doing quite well in most sections.

LEGAL FIGHT OVER VACCINATION
Suit to be Brought Because OF Injuries

Durham, N. c., June 21.-Mr. +. O.
Patterson, who led the fight against
vaccination for sometime and then de-
parted for another and more comfor-
table section has returned to Dur
ham He was before the mayor this
morning on the charge of refusing to
vaccinate, the warrant being drawn
under the ordinance passed by the
board when compulsory vaccination
was ordered. The case was continued
until tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Patterson is a leading merchant.
When the city authorities began to
enforce the compulsory vaccination
law he was arrested and fined So and
cost. He was to be arrested every
day. but in the meantime he left for
Greensboro and then Liberty, leaving
his family at the latter place. Re-
Gently he returned to Durham and af-
ter remaining here a short while went
back for his family.
He has employed counsel and will
fight the case in the courts. He will
contend in the first place that the law
is illegal and that inasmuch as there
is now no need of compulsory vacci-
nation, the smallpox epidemic having
passed away, that the authorities can
not compel him to vaccinate.
In the trial tomorrow he will be rep
resented by Mr.. r. B. Boone and the
city will be represented by Mr.. II. A
Foushee, city attorney.
In February of this year, young

The favorable progress of cotton

been checked during the past week in

and throughout the cotton belt it is
welr cultivated except in northeastern
Texas, where few fields are still foul.
In the last named State cotton has
made rapid growth and is generally in
fine condition, but boil WeevilS are
causing damage in a greater number
of counties than last week. Good
growth is also reported from Okla
