TOBACCO CROP
Will Be SHORT
Plants Are Dead As Result Of
Continued Dry Weather
THE WORST FOR Is YEARS
Continued Dry Weather Has Caused
Tobacco Plants to Die and Crops
VIII be Almost Total Failure. Ac.
eording to Reports Brought In by
Farmers From All Sections.

Farmers from several different
counties. who have been to Durham
recently. report that the prospects for
a tobacco crop in this section are very
unfayorable at this time The crop
promises TO be an almost complete
failure on account of the continued
and unusual lack of rain. The farm
ers declare that throughout the sec
ton which supplies the Durham to-
/ eco market not a fourth Of the
usual crop will be produced this
season.
The plants are dying rapidly for
lack OF rain and Il has been impossible
to get anything like the usual stand.
The plants that have managed to sur
vive are being subjected TO terrible
rayages from worms and other de-
struetiye agencies. In many sections
the fields have been replanted four C..
five times. but the plants die almost
as fast as they are planted. The beds
have been practically exhausted. an.
II 1t should rain ever so much at this
time II would be impossible to secure
young plants TO replenish the barren
fields.
The greater part of the crop was
planted In this section in March.
Since that time there has been only a
slight rainfall, scarcely enough to
keep the plants alive. Since the lat
ter part OF April there has been no
rain. Such a drouth as there is at
the present time has not been known
in this section az this season OF the
year for Is years or more.
The farmers have been hoping day
after day to see the dry spell broken,
but every day has brought disap-
pointnient. Almost every day for
two weeks there have been signs Of
rain thar in ordinary times would
have been .unfailing. but the signs
have all failed so far and the parch'
ing sun continues TO pour down upon
the earth destructive heat.
Cfher tfops-
Not only hast the tobacco croT
suffered. but all Of the other crops as
we'll. The dry spell came in the
midst OF the strawberry season and
destroyed almost entirely this lus.
cious crop. The dreams OF garden.
ers have all been shattered where
there was not an artificial water sup
ply available. and fresh vegetables
are at a premium. The wheat croI
has also suffered somewhat, as bal
the corn crop.
The Silver Lining.
The prospects OF an excellent cot
ton crop Is the only silver lininl
that Is now visible in the dark clous
OF agricultural gloom. This crop re
quires dry weather for fits proper de
velopment in its early stages. Tn
reports from all parts OF the sectiol
are to the effect that cotton is thriv
Ing at this time. and that there 1

can be held. Bible courses given and
various high-class amusements rem
dered. Hotels and boarding houses
will be erected for the accommodation
Of transient visitors; numerous
Iamusements will be provided. and
there will be all of the attractions OF
the best mountain resorts. The
grounds are so located that natural
lake with a shore line Of five miles OF
more can be constructed with very
slight expense. This will furnish
boating. bathing and other amuse-
ments. The remainder of the land
will be divided into 1900 lots, which
the Methodist people in all parts OF
the southern states are expected to
purchase for the erection of summer
cottages. These lots will be sold for
$3.50 each, and II the whole number
is sold the proceeds will be sufficient
to pay back the amount subscribed
two or three times over. Besides. il
is calculated that the income from
the amnsements will pay immense
dividends on the stock.
Informal Banquet.
An informal banquet was served to
the churchmen assembled Wednesday
afternoon and the committee pre-
sented the proposition while those as
sembled Toasted.
General ]. S. Carr first introduced
Rev. George r. Stewart Rev. Mr..
Stewart told of the assembly grounds
which other churches had in different
parts of the country and the wonder
full good that was being accomplished
He declared that the Methodist church
in the south was far behind in this
respect. The resorts furnish place
for the young people to go, and he
declared that IL the church was to
keep the young people II must furnish
some other place for them to go ex-
cept TO Sunday school and church.
There must be some place where they
can get some legitimate and healthful
amusement.
Rev. Mr.. Stewart was followed by
Mr.. Pepper. who brought applause by
declaring that the committee had
wandered from one side of the coun-
try TO the other but could find nc
place in the 10 southern states that
was as suitable for the location of the
assembly as in North Carolina.
Il have been to Switzerland and In
many other countries, but | don't be-
lieve there is another place in the
whole world that is as beautiful as
the North Carolina mountains. and
believe that we have selected the most
beautiful spot in these mountains,
said Mr.. Pepper.
Mr.. Pepper declared that the lay
men OF the church we're doing great
work but that they were not doing
what they could do.
DR.. Cannon told Of the beginning oI
the enterprise and how that $40 lay.
