C., Aug. 2.—Traveling in an automobile from Belhnven to the mountains and returning by another route, F. P. Latham, member of the ) Slate Board of Agriculture from the I' irst .District, a visitor in Raleigh to* J the Farmers' Convention, made an inter ’ esting reiiort as to agricultural condi tions as he finds them in North Cnroii- E ua. • ■ II bile out for a leisurely .survey of ' farming conditions . Mr. Latham also ' studied other industries related to agri -1 vulture. " "I have never seen better crops than • are ill the state at this time.” said Mr. ■ Latham. "Leaving Belhaven on July 15 1 had an idea that no crops could be 1 better than our corn, beans and cotton. ‘ This isr-the grainary of North Caroli- I nn and the livestock country of the ‘ Southeast. My route lay through the owns of Washington. Greeuville and • Wilson into Raleigh. As I left the Tide | water section we gradually came into i the upper coastal plain which is the heart of our bright leaf tobacco section Here I found a wonderful crop of tobar- I •<). The plants seem to be topped on an average of from 14 to l(i leaves and were of the finest quality. Gradually as. we drew out of this section there came less tobacco and more cotton. The cot ton crop all through this territory is in magnificent shape. Some of the plant ers claim, however, that their 'crop this year is a trifle late and the plants some what undersized on account of drouth. My impressions are that pudgihg the rotten at this season of the year there will be a good crop produced provided the boll weevil does not seriously dam age it later in the fall. "I found Bhat tile boll weevil was in ev idence all through my trip over the cot ton section and was begiuiniug to do some damage." Mr. latham, after leaving Raleigh, visited Haw River, Statesville. Black Mountain, stopping in Catawba county to look over the great dairy and pasture section. "Just as truly as is Eastern North Carolina the great agriculture section of the state aud Piedmont North Carolina the industrial section so is the mountain seel ion one vast playground. We found here thousands of tourists and visitors enjoying the magnificent scenery ami wonderful climate of our mountain reg ion. License tags on the cars of these visitors showed that they came from practically every state in the Union Sptitli of Ohio, and east of the Miss issippi river.” On liis return from the mountains. Mr. Lntluini visited Henderson and 1 : u r I T. & wflffllWtir'vievminr an? Or Trie Danner counties of the state, "Here," sijys Mr. Latham, "was one continuous highly developed farming I section, with field after field of cotton, all in good condition and giving prom ise of a good crop. Cleveland, it ap pears to me, is one of the best develop ed counties of the state. Along the road which he traveled there was practically no waste land and the countryside seem ed to be Well settled with prosperous farming people. "Between Lineolntoii and Albemarle there was a small section where the crops appeared to be not so good, on ac count of continued drouth.*’ Mr. Latham continued his trip tq the Sandhills ending it at the Peach Show at Hamlet. He said he was deeply im pressed with what he found in this sec tion. “Here are most wonderful possibili ties; in fact. I can hardly see tlie limit of what we might reasonably expect of this region, especially when one con siders the orchards already planted and those contemplated being xilanted within (he next year or two,” he said. To my mind there is only-one factor to limit the' development of this section and that is that the market may not be developed to the great extent that the fruit is pro duced. I do not think this will be a real danger, however, since a movement has already been made by tlie establish ment of one small canning factory here, and I am reliably informed that this en terprise is already on a paying basis. "When we consider that North Caro lina peaches are well colored, due to the long hours of suulight which the fruit gets in the Sandhills aud that the flavor is unsurpassed, it appears to me that there will ajwnys be a market for North Carolina grown penches. "The crop was somewhat short this year, with some., of the growers telling me that they could only ship about 300 cars. Last year the section shipped ap proximately 1,0110 cars and one grower stated that he produced 100 carloads of marketable peaches from 105 acres. With such a record and with such pos sibilities as this the sandhills will soon become one of the most valuable sec tions of North Carolina.” Buys Sarah Bernhardt’s House. Paris, Aug. 2.—The lnte Sarah Bern hardt often tried td\ sell her country house on Belle-Isle, off the coast of Brittany, but she never found a purchas er. The property includes a farm, an old ford and a rock strewn piece of shore front. Within a few weeks of her death, how ever, a buyer was found at 350,000 francs —somewhere about $20,000. He iutends to turu the house into a summer hotel, and will have a jnzz-band and dancing on tl[e first floor before the present sea son is over. The mayor of Palais, the port of the little island, had hoped that the munici pality would acquire the property and con vert At into a Bernhardt museum but the qale was, put through before he could get his pluu before the public. litre’s War Which Has FuU AppropL New Y’ork, Aug. 1. — The price-cutting movement iu sugar went merrily on to day when all the refiners announced further Reclined in fine granulated, one cutting as low as 7-00 in an effort to get business.

S =nHEl|j NORTH AUSTRALIA M AKES SUCCESS OF COTTON PLANT So Successful as to More Than Double Estimate of Acreage Next Y'ear. ißy the Aaiuclnted Presn.> Sydney. N. S. W„ Aug. 2.—-Experi ments in cotton raising in New South Wales have been so successful as to more tliun double the cotton aereqge iu the estimate for next year. This increase in acreage is due to the, discovery that cotton grows better under rhe conditions existing in rhe northern parts of the Australian continent than in other sec tions. ( The cotton grown experimentally in the North Australian districts brings about oue, cent, a pound more than that qf other sections. In addition to produc ing a higher grade of cotton, the plants have been most prolific, aud at Bonalbo, as many as 320 bolls have beeu obtain ed from a single plant. The estimated cotton acreage for next year in New South Wales is 35,000 acres, aud a ready market already awaits this growth., for the Engliah spinners are eager to buy cotton grown within the Empire. Although it will be many years before the effect of Australian cotton will be felt in the world’s market, the experi mental stage has been passed and it is expected* that great strides will be made in production during the next decade. Another important factor, less to the liking of the great Euglish mill owners, is tip- appearance of a few independent mills in Australia. While the produc tion of these mills is at the present, time insignificant, they are callable of ■ grow ing witli the increased domestic cotton production. DEFENSE OPENS IN THE GARRETT TRIAL A. M.

Atrars tion of Premier —ciiuwin, of Great Britain, Who Has Studied Belgian and French Notes. LORD CURZONIS OF SAME OPINION Thinks Notes of French and Belgians Make, Further Ef forts Futile at the Pres ent Time. London, Aug. 2.—(By the Associated Press).—Prime Minister Baldwin joined with Lord Curzon. the foreign secretary, in informing Parliament today that the replies by France and Belgium to the British reparations note seemed to hold out no prospect for a settlement of the Ruhr situation in the near future, nor the opening of a discussion regarding reparations. Mr. Baldwinn began his statement by reviewing the British draft reply to Ger many's last note. He said the British government had expressed the opinion that while nothing should be done which would be inconsistent with the stipula tions of the Versailles treaty, advantage could be derived if impartial experts co operating with the reparations commis sion should examine Germany's capacity to pay. • The reply also pointed out. Mr. Bald win said, that the economic value of snch a step must largely depend upon factors not mentioned in the German memorandum, such as stabilizfng the mark and balancing the budget and that no guarantee could be effective unless provision were made for some form of international control over the German financial administration. Great Britain had submitted to the other allies the draft of a, joint allied re ply to the last German reparations com munication, and great Britain had at tached very great importance to the dis patch of such a reply, the Premier said. Neither France nor Belgium, however, had mentioned this reply in their answer to the British communication, and Great . Britain, to the regret of her government, I ' vas unable to find in these responses sufficient material for the dispatch of a ! joint allied reply to Germany. Lord Curzon Speaks. / Imndon.

The British draft of reply to j Germany was not mentioned in the com munication from Paris or Brussels he I added.
