Correspondence of The News-Herald. The past week baa been very dry with practically no rain what ever except a very small amount at a few widely sepeiated places. The drought is injuring all late crops considerably, especially tur nips, fall irisb potatoes, crimson clover and early seeded rye and wheat. Small streams are low, and there is a scarcity of water in some sections. The temperature was slightly above normal, as tbe days were moderately warm; the nights were generally cool, aud some frost occurred in the mountains. While tbe lack of moisture is affecting late seeded crops adver sely, and tbe groubd has become too hajd and dry for tbe continua tion of fall plowing, otherwise con ditions were very favorable for gathering matured crops and for all farm work, very little plow ing has been done, and only small quantities of winter wheat and oats were seeded during the week Cotton is opening very rapidly, with weather conditions favorable for picking, which is progressing five dollars for each day he places, discharges or wastes, or knowingly suffers sawdust to be placed, discharged and wasted in said streams within the bound aries aforesaid, to be paid to any person who may sue for the same.

Ladies Prayed at Church While the Men Worked at the Polls. Raleigh Kews and Observer, 6th. A victory, sweeping and dicis ive, was won vesterday by the Ant-Saloon forces of Raleigh.

Occasionally there is a striving after strange and unknown words, which always mars. At times the language is out of proportion to the strength of the thoughts, and the ideas diluted to extreme tenuity. However, the diction is fine, the pathos tender, the imagina tion brillant, and the insight into the strength and weaknessof humannature is keen. Stripped of occasional vague ness, obscurity and weirdness we are impressed with the sustaining strength of the poem and enjoy the richness of its minted melody.
