Jacob Johnson, colored, living at

himself twice in the head. One of
the balls struck the skull and glanced
off but the other penetrated the
side of his head, between the eye
and the ear, and entering lodged
just in the rear of the former organ.
Drs. Lane and McDonald are in at
tendance on him and will not com
mit themselves as yet to a positive
opinion as to his condition, only
saying that they consider it to be
very serious.
Johnson is about 40 years old and
has a wife and five children. He
was alone in his room when he made
the attempt. The pistol was of .32
calibre. The cause of the rash at
tempt is unknown but he had been

the time.
Weather Crop Bulletin.
The Second Weekly? Weather
Crop Bulletin of the North Carolina
Weather Service makes a remark,
ably good exhibit of the condition of
the crops throughout the entire
State. We quote from it as follovvs:
Our reports for the week ending
Saturday, May 11th, still indicate a
favorable condition of the crops.
The almost entire absence of rain in
the State may have been somewhat
injurious in a few localities, but
owing to the excessive rains of the
week ending May 4th, a great deal
of dry weather was required. The
temperature in all districts has
been above the average and has
been favorable to growing cropsand
the ripening of fruit. Cool weather
aud light frost occurred in the west
ern portion of the State the first of
the week, without injurious effect.
A decidedly warm wave passed over
the entire State during the latter
part of the week, maximum teni
perature of over 90 degrees occur
ring in many places.
In the Eastern District there was
a marked deficiency of rainfall,
about an average temperature and
a great deal of sunshine in this dis
trict, with a favorable effect upon
crops. Planting and farm work
generally progressing. Some injury
to the potato crop on account of
bugs is reported from Edgecombe
county. Corn and cotton have been
replanted to some extent.
In the Central District the rainfall
has been decidedly below the aver
age; the temperature and sunshine
above the average, with favorable ef
fect on the crops. The excessive heat
of the latter part of the week has
been very favorable to growing
crops, cotton especially. An abun
dance of tabacco plants is general
ly reported. The season is well in
advance and the outlook is encour
aging. Light frosts occurred with
slight injury. Fruit is doing well,
with prospects for a fine yield. Small
grain generally looking well.
io rain, an excess oi sunsnine auu
