Cotton and Corn Full of Grass and
Farmers Discouraged.
This Condition Prevails Over Eastern
section of This and Also Other States
Along the COast-There Has Been
but One Absolutely Fair Day During
the Present MOnth-ThOSe Who
Travel Around Over the Country
Report Crops i'm an Awful Condition.

Those who have travelled over i
considerable part Of the adjacent c0un-
try say that the crops have been al
most ruined by the heavy rainfall
which has prevailed for the past sixly
days. The rainfall for the month is
but little, if any, above the normal hut
what makes the conditions worse j.
the fact that it has been cloudy yer,
nearly all of the month and the ground
mas not had an opportunity to get dry.
PIP TO yesterday, according to the local
weather bureau, there had been only
one fair day this month The rainf, Il
has been inches against 6.49 for the
corresponding period of the previOu
year but the number Of rainy days
mas been less. Last year there were
seventeen days on which there was ain
up to the 25th Of the month and this
year there has been fourteen. The
normal rainfall for July is 7.24 inches
so it will be seen that, the rainfall ras
been very near normal.
But be that as it may, crops have suf-
y
weather than last season. This is pei
haps due for one reason to its havine
been extremely dry during the spring
and the crops did not get a good star;
before the wet weather set in. A maa
who travels through the eastern tarl
OF this state, also South Carolina and
Georgia stated yesterday that cotton
was very small and full of grass ana
that the corn had turned yellow Ue
thought the prospects for crop:
throughout the eastern sections of he
states mentioned very gloomy Confi-
tons in the Piedmont section have not
been quite so bad but there has been
far more rainfall there than is usua
for this season of the year. Along the
coast, the soil being sandy drinks vi
more water than where there is a clay
sub soil which holds the water and
browns out the crops if they be in low
grounds, but it is difficult to get too
much rain for upland crops
Farmers in many sections are absoi-
utely disheartened over the prospect
and they we'll have a right to be- In
the vicinity of MaXtOn, which is a
great melon growing section of -ilH
country, the cantaloupes and water
melons have not brought the farmers
in what they were expecting Number
Of cars of cantalOupes fell short con
siderably of the estimates.

A HOME FOR CHILDREN
Appeal Made by Committee to Every
Citizen in Community to Make Con-
tributiOn to the "Children'S HOme.''

We the undersigned, appointed a
temporary committee to organize the
movement, invite the citizens of this
community TO subscribe to a fund the
purpose of which is to acquire, build
and maintain home for sick and af-
ficted children at Wrightsville, Or
such other place as may be finally de-
termined
The conditions in this city are such
that there are a large number Of
babies and little children that a weeks
outing and care would restore to
health, and the necessity Of such q
place is felt by minister's physicians
and laymen who have studied and in
vestigated the matter
Necessarily our beginning will be
small, but it is believed that it can be
made an institution Of not only imme-
diate benefit to the little ones who
may be sick, but Of permanent value
in it's influence in the up-building of
character.
We appeal to every citizen Of this
community to contribute to this end,
however small the contribution. and
let it be an expression Of the desire
of this community to help care for and
protect little children in our midst that
are deprived Of the healthful necessi-
ties Of childhoOr.
It is a cause to which nearly every
one can contribute something.
Contributions may be left, with the
name of the contributor. at either IF
the banks, or drug stores, Or newspa-
pc rofficeS of this city. or handed DC
either of the ministers of the city, or
left with the members of the commit
tee. or sent to DR.. c. P. BOlleS, reaS-
urer.
After the funds have been raised. the
known contributors to the fund will be
asked 10 meet, when permanent plan
of organization viii lbe submitted 70
them, and, if approved, adopted and
trustees for the management CT the
property be appointed. We desire
that these contributions may be sent
in as soon as possible. as options have
been secured upon property that will

Here Yesterday.
Local Company Was Joined by Two
Companies From Charlotte and One
From Maxton-The Special Had

The Wilmington Light Infantry left
yesterday for Morehead City on Il
special train and in addition TO the
local company the same train CARRIE
two companies from Charlotte and one

Charlotte, 10 bring along their horses
and wagons. When the train pulled
out of Charlotte it had six cars, two
coaches for the soldiers, two cars for
the horses, one for the wagons and also
one for baggage. At Maxton another
car was coupled on for the MaxtoE
company. Upon arriving at Whining
ton the cars were transferred TO the
Coast Line station and the car for he
Wilmington boys attached. The local
company had one car for baggage and
provisions.
The members of the Wilmington
Light Infantry were ordered to meet
at the armory yesterday morning at
1870 and long before that hour the
young soldiers in their khaki uniform
could be seen going back and forth Or
Market street. All were in a merry
mood and were looking forward 20

was noisy time at the station when
the cars rolled in with the Charlotte

joined by the docal military Many Of
the men had met at the encampment
at Wrightsville Beach last year and
when the crowd got together it was
like number of college boys ratun-
ing to school after a vacation.
The military will probably have Il
good time if it don't rain too much, but
if the next ten days is anything like it
has been for the past week, or for
that matter, the past six weeks, .hey
will have to spend 4 big part Of theiI
time in their tents, There is one thing,
they will not likely be bothered tram

The twenty-third victim Of the hor
rible wreck on the Seaboard Air Line
near Hamlet Sunday evening, died al
the Good Samaritan Hospital this
morning at C'clOc.
The unfortunate one was Rosa Nc
Bride, a well known woman Of Hamlet
She was one Of the occupants of the
jim Crow car which was Smashed TO
pieces and in which q negroes were
killed.
AL day yesterday the life OF this
poor unfortunate was hanging by a
little thread, and it was expected at
any moment that death would relieve
her of her sufferings. She sustained
several fractures OF the arms and
legs. her right eye was entirely dis
placed and her head and body were
torn and gashed in number of places
In fact it seems hardly possible that
she could have survived the awful
catastrophe for any length of time.
The body has been prepared for bu-

How strong Is the quality oi
human sympathy. No matter what
error man may commit or how
misspent his life may be, nothing
ever quite removes him from the
touch of human compassion. 1t is
sentiment more than all else that
makes life at all worth the while.
John d. Rockefeller had the sym
pathy Of his enemies as he stood by
the dock in New York and watch
ed the dead body Of his daughter
removed from steamer. The riches
Of the world cannot make the grief
OF father less poignant ss he
stands in the presence of the Reap
er who harvests in cottages and
palaces alike. All the gold of earth
cannot stay E;s hand and all the
tears Of humanity will not bring
back those whom once He has
taken. How little to be valued is
the fruit Of worldly ambition. For
day we have our puny struggles,
a lot of sorrow and little pleasure
and then whether we have accum-
ulated the riches Of Mr.. Rockefeller
or have lived in poverty an unseen
hand sweeps US naked into a dark
ness that we do not understand
and from which no one has ever
returned. *, c. Star.

THE EXPRESSION :oF GRATITUDE

THE EXPRESSION s0F GRATITUDI
Tomorrow we cease for day Il
boast Of our successes and actieve
ments as a nation and in humbi'
confession before the Throne O
Grace ascribe it all to tene6cencs
Of an overruling Providence.
For one day we fc.got our vair
glory, or say we do. cease TO flauut
our own prowess and express our
gratitude 10 Source Of all success
and prosperity.
And thus do we fondly imagine
are we fttingly expressing our ap-
prsclation Of the blessings we enjoy
and rendering due return for tbe
same.
1T is a good thing 10 give
thanks" 1t was good thing for
the ancient Hebrew to offer burnt
sacrifices unto God bat today the
Lord would have mercy and not
sacrifice; he would have us show
our gratitude in actual deeds of
mercy and love toward our fellow
creatures rather than in prayers
and anthems. however much these
may please.
Many false ideas prevail about
the matter of serving Cod, as Rus
kin has pointed. You go to church
one day aud prayer meeting in
the middle of the week. You tell
the Lord how thankful you. are
and then ask him to pour out more
blessings upon you, to give you
health, wealth and spiritual favors.
And in asking favors you say you
are "serving Goi.'' Nonsense
there never was and never can be
but one way to serve God and that
is to serve our fellowmen. Prayers
and praise, yes, but service first Of
al.
Aud so the only adequate and
acceptable way for Us to express
our gratitude for the blessings Of
the year IS in deeds Of justice and
charity toward cur fellowmen.
Think not you are pleasing God
when you 60 to church tomorrow
a ID sing "Praise God from whom
all blessings flow" il when the
collection is taken for the poor. you
drop nickel, quarter or a dollar
o. whole years prosperity into
the basket. Freely ye have received
freely give" "cive as the Lord
has prospered thee. "
Not for one day only but for
sos days every year are we to thus
show our gratitude through service.
Not bydropping a pittance into the
collection basket for the poor bat
BY giving our time and substance
daily, By dealing in the spirit Of
justice and love with those we meet
in the course Of business from day
TO day.by doing good unto all men
