vote of froom 500 to 1000 There is
every indication of this, and though
his opponent. Mr. Ewart, is person
ally popular he will be defeated
AS to crops Mr.. Cannon says they
are like Democratic prospects, all in
fine shape. the finest in years. eve
have in Henderson county, said he, II
fine crop of wheat, oats. rye, corn and
grass. The potato crop is extra fine.
The other morning l Weighed an
Early Rose potato, and it pulled
down the scales at one pound, six
ounces. The apple crop has been
damaged by the hail and we do not
expect over a 60 per cent crop. The
cabbage crop is splendid. Prices for
the grains and potatoes are fair, and
while the. prices for cabbages just
now are a little off, we expect better
prices later We are in excellent con-
dition as to crops"

CONDITIONS fine.

States Prison Directors Authorize
WaterWorks Plant For the Prison
Farm Crops in Fine
Shape.

The Board of Directors of the State
Prison were in session yesterday, but
beyond the regular routine work lit
tie was done. There were present
Messrs j. p Kerr, of Asheville; c..
f. Aycoek, of Whiteville; J. T. Hooks.
of Fremont; J. G.. Hackett. of Wilkes
boro, and w. e. Crosland, of Diggs
The board determined to at once
put in water tanks at the two camps
on the State farm. This work will
be done directly by the convict forces
and the water supply will be for fire,
washing and bathing purposes. Each
of the tanks is to hold ten to twelve
thousand gallons of water.
The committee sent to inspect the
Wilkesboro and Jefferson Turnpike
road made its report. The members
of the committee are Messrs. w r..
Crosland, j. G.. Hackett, John p. Kerr
and superintendent J. S. Mann. The
report says that things were in excel
lent condition and that work is pro-
crossing. There are a few less than
so convictS now at work on the road,
the law providing for so. The con-
mittee find that 10 miles of the road
is graded, and that this is eXcellently
done, the grade at no place exceed
section are deeply interested in the
road and it's completion will turn
back into North Carolina trade that
has been going to Tennessee and Vir-
ginia, because it was easier to get
to points in those States. The COM
mittee recommends that work be
pushed vigorously on the road and
that the full quota of hands be furn-
ished as rapidly as possible. There
are no extra men in the penitentiary
now, and there is demand for every
man that is sent in.
The financial affairs of the States
Prison were found in excellent state.
this being brought about by the strict
business methods now in vogue at that
institution under Democratic manage
ment.
The reports to the board from the
supervisors of the farms state that
the prospects are very fine for
splendid crop, finer than in years
There are about 1900 acres in cotton
900 to 400 acres in peanuts and 700
to 500 acres in corn.

The State Indifferent.

While the order was made entirely
without the knowledge, consent or
agreement either of the Governor, the
officers of the road or the attorneys
for the defendant, <fovernor Aycock
stated yesterday that. since the way
had now been cleared, he was ready
to consider any bids that might be
submitted. His attitude has been ever
since the inception of the Cuyler suit
and the restraining order set forth
above that no proposition of lease
would be considered until after the
termination of the litigation. Some
question was raised by attorneys yes
terday as to whether the nunc pro
tune order changing, as it really does,
the record in the case, was now in
the power of Judge Purnell to make.
the matter of the receivership having
been decided and gotten past him al
ready on appeal to the Circuit court
Attorneys who are more familiar with
the case, however, say that the or
der is effective as it weakens, instead
of increases the original order.
There are at present only two bids
in the hands of the Governor one from
the Mills syndicate and another from
Philadelphia parties, but others will
now doubles begin to comein rapidly
Both of these bids average over per
cent for the term of the lease pro-
posed for. OF course any proposition
to get the plum must be over and
above that figure.
The stockholders of the road will
meet in September and it is possible
that the propositions OF lease may be
presented to them at that meeting. In
view, however, of the Indifference of
the authorities to the latest order" in
the case, that is as yet problematical
as it may be decided to continue the
litigation to it's logical conclusion, the
road not being hurt" in any event.
The opinion freely expressed yes
terday was that Judge Purnell was
seeking to avoid the Cuyler suit reach
ing the Circuit Court of Appeals, and
already there are rumors that your
orators" as we'll as the judge, are
very tired and are looking anxiously
for a parachute or a convenient point
at which to turn loose and jump"
In any event the State will scarcely
present any lease to Judge Purnell,
executed or otherwise. The only meth
Cd by which the end that seems de-
sired by the court can be attained
would be for the State to lease anc
for the lessee to come in, present his
lease and secure the dismissal of the
bill.

DECLARED A HOLIDAY.

Baltimore, Feb. S.-Gov. Warfeld to-
day issued a proclamation declaring
the day a legal holiday. 1t is expect
ed that this will be extended for sew
eral days, or until such time as the
chaotic conditions in the business and
financial districts can be Strengthened
out.
This proclamation closes all banks
and other financial institutions and
defers the payment of commercial
paper.
This action of Gov. Warfield sus-
ponds the operations of various BUSH
ness contracts and greatly relieves the
complex conditions, which confront the
business and financial interests.
