CROP AND WEATHER BULLETIN
General Summary.

GtIln d1
Thunderstorms, with high damaging
winds, occurred during the early part
of the week in a few localities in the
northeastern portion of the state. The
rainfall attending the thunder storms
was generally very light, and the dam
aging high winds were confined to rel
atively small areas, generally located
in mountainous sections. No rain of
consequence occurred in the western
counties. The temperatures were above
no omal, but it was not so warm as the
preceding week, especially in the west
ern counties, where, as a rule, the
mornings were cloudy and the after
Moons clear. In the eastern counties
the sunshine was bright and pNetieai-
ly continual during the entire week,
and the afternoon temperatures were
nearly as high as during the preceding
week, but the mornings were consider
ably cooler,

A Tragic Finish.

A watchman's neglect permitted a
leak in the great North Sea dyke, which
a child's finger could have stopped, to
become ruinous hreak, devastating an

So absorbing did I find il that every road

crowd that is the envy of every Orator
except the Socialist who holds his own
against all corners.
An admirer at my elbow, who, like
me. IS out for diversion and taking the

formances, assures me that some of
them aren't fit to be heard by dacint

The Socialist is there-and II as well
to note that he has quite the biggest
crowd. and the most intent and eager
listeners. and that he usually talks
we'll and convincingly and persuasively
and not heatedly.
on this night the Socialist is an
earnest young man much in need Of a

type of mechanic, intelligent, we'll read
and well Informed. with the native
force and vigor of that type of man,
and without the smoothness of culture.
AS he talks reasonably, argumentative-
ly and appealingly the crowd squeezes
closer and closer around the little foot
rest he is perched upon, and grows
larger and larger and more quietly and
willingly attentive-and this, say
again, is one of the things worth not
ing on Grant avenue.
There are other Grant-avenue Ora
tors besides this young man and his
kind who scream Socialism. One of
them is of the Shining blackness of a

an incendiary way that would be a

laughter and little reyerence-and

which perhaps in this later day is the
chief end of man.
OF Socialists there is another who

apparently more antagonistic than other
wise. They will talk at each other for the
sake OF getting crowd, or to retaliate
when one takes crowd from another, as
often happens, and they sometimes get to
arguing with each other instead Of ad-
dressing the public when they differ in
their beliefs. yet under this impersonal
antagonism there Is really feeling OF fell
lowship among them
So these quarreling Orators OF Grant
Avenue, who maneuver to outgeneral each
other for the best places to set up their
platforms or soap boxes. who outwit each
other for the sake Of a crowd. are. on the
word of one Of them. really like the men,
bers of happy family. that feel at lib
erty to differ among themselves. but band
together against the world
Thus it was in the case Of the man who
was missing.
They knew on this night why he was
missing. The morning paper had told the
story of his strange and lonely death and
of the finding OF his body Tapped by the
edge of the. tide under a wharf, Some OF
them had even gone to the Morgue to iden-
tify him. and here on this night two OF
them rose among them to speak in his
memory even as in the houses of Con-
gress the members rise to eulogize some
member that has gone the long journey.
Then here and there a speaker came
down from his platform or hoped OF his
soap box or stool and joined this crowd
around the man and woman They had put
their own business aside for this one night
the advertising of their special panacea
for human iIls-and covered thsir business
banner with the announcement OF the
death of the missing Orator.
He was c. Franklin Jones. a man whose
unsatisfied mind had sent him on a tan
gent out of the conventional round Of life
into this oratorical maelstrom Of chaotic
theories and half-baked PHILOSOPHERS.
The man and woman who had thought
to honor his memory and do an ordinary
human duty to him spoke. first one and
then the other, OF his appearance and
work among them, OF his daughter and
the filial devotion that had moved her to
endsavor to give him decent burial by
paving month by month out OF the slender
wage she earns as a saieswOman-
And then they asked all those who had
lifted their voices with his on the avenue.
and all those that had heard him. and
hearing had felt a friendly feeling to him.
not TO leave his burial TO the patient sac
rifice of the daughter. but to give toward
1t themselves.
Many hands went into pockets, and the
collection that was taken I'D amounted TO
more than $50.
perhaps this sort OF thing never hap
nened among the Orators OF Grant Avenus
before. Perhaps IL will never happen
again. But. on the whole. am glad it
happened on my night with shem.

Berwind Mutincer Makes Confession
Exonerating Sawyer and Adams.
Henry Scott, negro, was hung al VIII
mington, N. G., Friday. Scott was one OF
the mutineers OF the schooner Harry A..
Berwind, on which Capt. Edwin B.
Rumill, of Pretty Marsh, and four of the
csew were murdered in October last, while
the vessel was bound from Mobile for
Philadelphia.
Scott, Robert Adams and Arthur Sawyer,
all negroes, were the only men alive on
the schooner when she was picked up.
Adams and Sawyer testified against Scott,
to the effect that he alone was guilty OF
the murders. Scott implicated them.
On this contradictory evidence, all
three were convicted and sentenced to be
hung. Adams and Sawyer, of whose
guilt considerable doubt existed, APP
pealed to the United States supreme
court for new trial on technical grounds.
The appeal was not granted and they are
now under sentence to be hung on Aug. IL
Before going to the scaffold, Scott made
a sworn statement retracting what he had
previously testified to, and generating
Sawyer and Adams. Scott's story OF the
mutiny and murders as told in this state
ment agrees with the testimony Of Sawyer
and Adams in all important particulars.
An appeal will at once be made to Presi-
dent Roosevelt for pardon for the two
men. As the supreme court has already
passed on their case, appeal to the Presi-
dent is their only hope.
When Sawyer and Adams were told that
Scott had made the confession, they were
7isibly affected, and gave expression in no
uncertain way to their unbounded pleas
ure at the confession.
Sawyer said: "Thank God; he's told
the truth at last" Adams said: ~ knew
