quested to absent themselves.

the newspaper men would not accept
and the meeting was held between the

THE TOBACCO CROP
Increase in Acreage Re-
ported to Be Twenty
Per Cent.

Reports from representative tobacco
growers and dealers throughout the
State show that the tobacco crop IN
North Carolina will be increased over
that of last year, but will not attain
the proportion of the crop of 1908,
but i'm some sections the tobacco acre
age has been reduced.
Everywhere there has been consid-
cradle complaint caused by the plants
drying up i'm the beds. The heavy
rains of May LIST interfered with pre-
pairing the ground before the plants
We're overgrown, so that late plants
were shaded to death.
In Rockingham county the prospect
is gloomy. and a few days ago at least
Ia per cent. Of the expected crop was
still to be planted. The acreage in
this section is reported to be 30 per
cent. less than that of last year. Many
new grounds have been abandoned in
Rockingham and the surrounding
counties because of the weather con-
ditions
The crop prospects in the Vance
county section are quite irregular.
some farmers having tobacco that
looks forward and some that is late.
However. it is entirely too early To
tell what the results will be. as The
the best tobaccos. The increase in
acreage in this section over the last
crop is about 20 per cent.
The crop prospect in the Durham
section is excellent. and there is
small increase over last years crop.
In Granville county there is reported
no increase, but a decrease OF 10 per
cent. In Johnston county there is an
increase in tobacco acreage of 20 per
cent. I.enoir county reports an in
crease of 20 per cent. The outlook in.
Warren county is not encouraging. The
plants are small and the crop is not
healthy.
In Iredell county the increase is %
per cent. Wilson county reports an
increase of 30 to % per cent. over last
year. but with that increase the crop
will not be half of the crop of the 1903
acreage.
Mr. j. o. Gravely, of Rocky Mount,
writes:
I'm my opinion the tobacco acreage
i'm Eastern North Carolina is increased
over last years about Is to 20 per
cent. The crop is at least ten days
earlier than it has been for five years,
but hasn't that appearance of health
and vigor so essential to heavy yield
per acre Ali indications point to il
light weight but colory crop. We can
not of course tell what changes the
seasons may effect, but judging from
the information now in hand we be-
lieve il safe to say that this crop Will
not exceed that of 1904 more than 10
per cent. in pounds.

PLANS or MIR. AND MRS. FISKE.
New Play to Open the Manhattan Season
Leah kleschna" for the Road.

Harrison Grey Fiske, manager of the
Manhattan Theater. announced his plans
for the coming season yesterday. The
Manhattan will be opened early in Septem-
Der with the production of new comedy
by Edith Ellis Baker. 1t is entitled Mary
and John" The comedy deals with the
trials and tribuations of newly welded
couple, and Mr.. Fiske is quite sanguine as
to it's success. A company of capable
comedy players will be oranized for the
piece. Mr.. Fiske sails to-day for Europe
and the cast will not be made public until
his return.
After the run Of "Mary and John" at the
Manhattan Nine, Bertha Kalich will begin
her enga cement under MIR. Fishes direction
in an elaborate production of Maeter-
linck's -Monna Wanna, a first class com
pany being associated with her for the
event.
Mrs. Fske will begin in October an au-
tumn tour with the Manhattan conn any
in Lean Kleschna r" visiting cities in which
tfat play has not been seen. Then Mrs.
Fiske and company will begin at the Man
haitian their annual season, filing out the
rest Of the dramatic year: The first pro-
Hu shes, entitled What VIII People say''
This is a comedy Of contemporary New
York life affording a modern character
study for Mrs. Fiske, az well as adequate
roles for her associates, including John
Mason, George Arlis, Frederic de Belle
vile and William B. Mack. what Will
People Say?" according to the plans as
they now stand will he followed by a re-
vival of a standard comedy which has not
been seen in New York in several years,
and in which Mrs. Fiske has never APP
peared. In due sequence Mr.. Langdon
Mitchell's new comedy Of local interest
will he produced and a new one act
play by John Luther Long. Ibsen's 'Ros-
inersholm, with Mrs. Fiske in the charac-
ter of Rebeccd West, is another possibility
awaiting events already settlcd-and
Mr.. Fiske has in contemplation, as soon as
may be, a revival Of "Tesx OF the D'Urber-
Villes"
