There were two light frosts. The temperature In the central portion of the State was as much as 6 degrees below the normal, the defl clencies occurring chiefly on the 27th 28th and 29th. The rainfall averaged about one Inch. On Saturday, warm er, more favorable weather set in, and farm work, previously much delayed was resumed with vigor. The damage by the storm Is not thought to have been very great. Eastern District. The week was de cidedly unfavorable on account of the severe storm of the 27th and 28th. For two days there was a considerable barometric depression off the North Carolina coast, causing very high north to northeast gales, accompanied by a very cold rain, with sleet and snow; subsequently light touches of frost occurred. The rainfall was not excessive, except at a few extreme east ern points, averaging for the district about 1.40 Inches. The temperature was below the normal. The last few days were warmer, with abundant sun shine, and favorable. The high winds caused the most damage, chiefly to young plants, truck crops and fruit. A good many peaches, plums and cherries were whipped off the trees, and at some points trees were blown down. The cold rain chilled the ground and checked crop growth. Young corn and cotton are looking badly and a bad ptand of both is feared. Little farm work was done until the end of the week. Tobacco plants are reported to be quite scarce in some sections. Rice planting is nearly over. Progress in planting corn, cotton and peanuts was comparatively slow, but the coming week will see the most of this work ac complished. Central District. The Wednesday gals was not as severe In the central portion of the State as In the east, but still high winds prevailed fw 14 hours, with some heavy rains and sleet. The cold weather and light frosts two mornings nipped young plants and everywhere checked the growth of vegetation for two or three days. The weather from the 27th to the 30th was very cold and unfavorable and com paratively Uttlefain work Was done. Much corn remains to bep lanted and practically the bulk of the cotton crop. Corn that was up looks yellow, with poor stand: cut-worms are doing It some damage. Considerable cotton was blown and chilled until much of It 1b dead and the ground was so cold for some days that It Is feared much will not come up at all, and will have to be replanted. Wheat, oats and rye continue to look promising and are beginning to head; a few complaints were received of damage by Insects. It Is a little early In this section for trans planting tobacco but much will be ac complished In thenext ten days If the weather Is favorable, as much ground Is prepared and plants are coming to the proper size. Gardens have been set back. Irish and sweet potatoes are doing well. Melons and some fruit trees were Injured by the wind, but It Btlll probable that there will be a fair fruit crop from this district. Western District. Many satisfactory reports were received from this district, though the early part of the week was unfavorable, with much cloudiness, cold weather and wind. The rainfall was less than in other portions of the State, averaging about 0.(0 Inch, and was needed. The mountains were cov ered with snow on the 27th, and the weather cleared, with frests the morn ings of the 28th and 29th, with some minor damage. The cool weather has caused slow growth of vegetation. Corn planting was retarded the early part of the week; much corn up Is weak and yellow; cut-worms are making them selves evldsnt. Cotton planting pro gressed mors slowly this week. To bacco plants were set back by the cold. Wheat and rye are growing fairly well, but spring, sets Is at a standstill (or want ot warmer weather. The frosts nipped Irish potatoes and beans badly In some sections." Fruit gtves promise of 'being better than xpected, - ' WILL NOT MOBILIZE AT SOUTH- f. PORT. The oltlsens of Southport met' with some of .the officers at United States Armybn Saturday In regard to making Southport the place ot mobilisation of negro troops. The oltlsens flatly re fused to make such a grant, it Is probable that Raleigh will be ths place ol rendezvous. Wilmington Despatch.. Mvl Harry B. SUllrags and Miss LIl lyan O.
