WEATHER TOO DRY
Caused Cotton to Open
Prematurely.
Crop viii Nowhere be More Than
Fair. Tobacco Curing Completed.
Corn improved. Bad Crop in
East. Good in West.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin for the
week ending Monday, September 18th,
says
THE weather for the past week
was characterized by warm days and
cool nights, but the mean tempera-
ture for the week was about normal.
The only rain of consequence fell on
the thirteenth and seventeenth
and was very beneficial to
all crops. The weather in general
has been very favorable for picking
cotton, saving fodder, meadow and
peavine hay. Farmers in all parts of
the State have been ready to pillow
land for fall sowing but the ground
has been too dry in most places; in
q few localities, however, some wheat,
rye. and oats have been sown.
There has been no Improvement
in the cotton crop during the past
week. The warm, dry weather caused
it to open rapidly, and in some places
prematurely Tie crop will nowhere
be more than fair, and in places it
will be very light. 1t is generally re-
ported that there will be no top crop,
owing to shedding: many correspond
ents state that the bolls are small and
the lint short; in the south-central
counties and in the extreme north
eastern portion the bolls are opening
prematurely owing to rust army
worms are doing considerable dam
age to late cotton in Beaufort, Craven,
Jones and Duplin counties
Tobacco curing is completed in the
eastern portion OF the State. Cutting
and curing is in progress in the cen
trail district, where the crop is report
ed improved and in good condition,
except in Rockingham county, where
some of it is badly burned and specki-
ed; it is curing Wen, color and texture
good but the leaf is light. In the
western portion slight damage by
worms is reported.
Corn improved during the past
week, but late corn in some places
suffered from drought, and some cor
respondents report that it Will not
mature; poor crop is expected in
the eastern while the prospects are
for good crops in the western and
central portions. Fodder is about all
secured in the eastern and central
districts; cutting is i'll progress in the
western. The saving of pea vine hay
is under way and good yields are be-
ing secured. Glover was benefited by
the rains and is looking well White
potatoes have improved and digging
is in progress i'm the western coun-
ties; sweet potatoes are doing well
and a good crop is promised. Pea
nuts, turnips, and beans are generally
reported good; cabbage poor The
sorghum crop is in good condition and
in places molasses making is under
way The buckwheat crop VIII be
good. Apples; are reported good in
some of the western counties. but
there is complaint of dropping and
dry rot. Pastures are fair.

ported: Raleigh, 0.10; Goldsboro,
1.12; Greensboro, 0.22; Lumberton,

LITTLE CHANGE IN COTTON.
What There Has Been is for the Most
Part to the Bad.
IN the Associated PIGS. }


Washington. Sept. 19.-The weekly
summary of crop conditions issued by
the Weather Bureau today says
While a slight Improvement in the
condition Of cotton is reported from
Oklahoma and Indian Territory and
portions of Louisiana and northern
Texas, the crop as q whole over most
of the belt has experienced little or
no change, with tendency toward
deteriora ton. Premature opening is
extensively reported in the eastern
and western districts. but only few
complaints Of this character are re-
ceived from the central portion. Boil
weevils are increasing in Texas and
are causing injur. in western Louisi-
ana. A Door top crop is promised.
Picking is advancing rapidly, and is
nearing completion in most of the
counties IN southern Georgia. Ex
cept in Kentucky. where about one
third of tho crop remains to be Sc
cured, tobacco is nearly all cut and
housed. Moist atmosphere has not
been favorable for curing in Kentucky
and New England, but in Virginia,
North Carolina and Tennessee the
crop is curing nicely.

product to New York rather than to New Orleans. New York is five hun dred miles farther away, and the route to New Orleans is one long glide down hill. If there is anything in the doctrine of the survival of the fittest, New Orleans will get and hold Omahas trade. And so it will be at Kansas City and St. Louis. It is in- deed doubtful whether Chicago can afford to ship to New York when the Great Lakes are closed by ice, because the route to the gulf Is shorter and freer from snow and other winter ob- structions.
 However, let the fight go on. The guii ports have nothing to lose. Ma ture and distances are on their side, and they will assuredly whip out the Atlantic ports when the latter seek trade that does not naturally belong to them.

SECRET OF eRYANs oRAToRY.

From the New York Globe.
 The secret of w. J. Bryan's success as a public speaker was explained in some measure by an intimate friend of the Ne braskan while guest the other day at the Hoffman house. MT. Bryan, it seems, prepares elaborate notes for his most important speeches.
 Having constructed the framework of his oration," said the informant who Is himself an orator of some repute, The reminds himself by a series of single words, of the different passages that he has carefully planned in his mind When ever he wishes to be more than ordi- narily choice or striking in his phrases he beats out his sentences diligently and writes them on slips of paper, which l think may account to some extent for the silver tongued' and literary quality of much of his oratory. MT. Bryan too has kind of shorthand of his own i'm vention, which enables him to compress his notes into the smallest bullS-a half sheet of writing paper often suffcing for large store of reminders. One of his symbols l have particular admiration for is round 'O' with dot in the center That means nothing more than in the middle of the world or the center of anything.
