place in the big tent ,
Young Shepherd has been for the
past year or more practicing rope
walking until he Is today as good as
the average artist of the show. He
can do any sort of a stunt in civilian's
clothes and dally gives performances
in mid air. He has a wire something
like twenty feet high, perfectly slack
and he walks it every day then lies
fiat down on It m a fine balance. He
is the envy of all the small boys of

The little fellow's parents do not
object to his aspiration and there is
small doubt that when Robinson comes

Damage By ahs ii the East Kt 8
-V- v -:.;.; Great, ,": ' ;.
By Wlr to The Sun. y '
Raleigh, N. C, Aug. ft. It seems to
be the Impression that the damage to
crops in the east by the rains last week
was not nearly so great as was at first
thought . Secretary of State Grimes
has news from his section that the
damage was. alight this applying to
Beaufort and Pitt-counties. Chairman
Wilson G. Lamb, of the 8tate Board of
Elections, who cam In today; said that
it was small In his. county of Martin.
It will probably be a few days before
the amount of the loss can be ascer
tained, for some farmers who came in
here today said Uiat hot weather will
certainly cause shedding of the cotton,
and two or three of them said that
god sised bolls; - were falling off.
Your correspondent had a talk with
Mr. Bagwell tor many rears in charge
of the extremely fine cotton farm of
Mrs. Florence P. Tucker, about three
miles west of Raleigh. Mr. Bagwell
says that the -wind, coming along with
the very wet weather, usl the
plants to form "funnels" at the roots
and that today he waa doing some
thing he had never ; done before in
his life. He put eight plows in the
cotton, making the single trees very
short and wrapping the traces with
cloth, and he Is In tola way plowing
the soil and filling the funnels at the
roots of the plants. He hopes this will
succeed. Mr. Bagwell says that the
crop at this farm is the finest he has
ever seen and that he has been rais
ing cotton for .more than thirty
years, and had annually taken the first
prize at the state fair. The chief
damage to the crop In the east was ev
idently by the flooding of lands and by
washing of sand upon cotton. Corn'
has suffered more . by . being blown
down or partially so, this applying
more to the old corn, which Is very
heavily eared. ; A lot jof corn was
noticed by your correspondent yester
day to be injured this way near Ral
eigh, but the damage is not great
