Tlie Seaboard Air-Line's industrial ex
position ia proving a great success. At
Moncure yesterday, hot as it was, 500
people were present, the biggest crowd
ever in thai xlace. It is better than the
farmers' institutes so far as attendance
goes. The process of fruit canning, cream
separating, (the latter by goat-power,)
stone crushing, etc., attract the people.
Big baskets of food are brought by the
people and there is plenty for aH.
The July crop returns from the agri
cultural department are coming in quite
rapidly and the commissioner nays they
are favorable.
The Supreme court has now passed on
the matter of imprisonment for non-payment
of taxes. In the case of George
versus Guilford county, it decided that
taxation is "a debt and something more
than a debt." That opinion can now le
quoted as an authority is support of the
new revenue act relative to imprison
ment for debt, upon the question dis
cussed by Attorney General WaJser.

Watson. That is no secret.
The meeting of the railway commis
sion on the 12th Ids! ant sill be the most
important of its history. The Governor
and Judge Walter Clark will then be
heard on the question of reducing rail
way rates and increasing the assessment
on railways. Commissioner Wilson has
a plan for making the assessment as great
as f.50,000,000 practically double what it
now is. The railway people will le prc-
seut in great force and will naturally
mi.ke a heavy fight.
It is probable that quite a number of
mandamus suits w ill be brought against
the State Treasurer to force him to pay
the speciiil appropriations made this year,
lie is trying hard to avoid doing this.
The first of these cases is the one which
comes up July 12. It is the one to force
him to pay the appropriation for oyster
lands in two or thre counties.
The fact that the school tax law of
1897 is legal in all respects is now settled
by the declaration of the Attorney Gen
eral anil Secretary of Slate. The people
who thought it unconstitutional got it
mixed with chapter 127 of the acts, which
is the act to stimulate taxation tor
schools in rural districts. The other act
is chapter 421.

CURRENCY REFORM,
A Special Hemp is Expected
From the President.
Republicans Responsible for delay
on the Tariff Bill. Taxing the
Stock Speculators. Senators
Dislike Defeat of Auti-
Triist Amendment.
JofKNAi. BriiKAr,
Washington, D. C. . July 5. ,
The responsibility for the failure of the
Senate to pass the tariff bill last week be
longs to the Republican Seuators. Had
they been able to agree on several proposed
amendments to the bill, the measure
pwould today have been returned to the
House according to expectations. The
Republican Senators agreed at the last
minute to press an amendment giving a
bounty to beet sugar, but , soon as it
was brought before the Senate, Senators
Jones, of Arkansas, and Teller, of Colo
rado, informed them that the Senate
would remain in session all the summer
before that amendment would be allowed
to pass, and the Republicans were com
pelled to withdraw it, but it was then
renewed by Senator Allen and is still
pending. Nothing now stands in the way
of the llnal vote on the bill, but an agree
ment amone the Republicans, and that
will probably be reached within two or
three days.
Judging from expressions in Washing
ton, the tariff amendment taxing trans
fers of stocks and bonds promises to lie a
popular one with the people. It will n
paid by the speculators who deal m
stocks and bonds, who as a rule, do not
pay their share of taxation.
A member of the administration says i
that President McKinley has almost de
cided to send a special message to Con
gress, asking that legislation authorizing
a currency commission be passei'. It was
supposes! that representation made to the
President by Senators had caused him to
ttrop this idea, because of the impossi
bility of cettin"' such legislation to a
v,.te, even supposing that a quorum
could be kept in Washington after the
tariff bill is out of the way and that a
majority could be depended upon: but
other influences have beeu working to
bring about the sending of the message
to Congress, regardless of the probability
of its leing acted upon at this session.
This was not known until the President's
departure for Canton, and as soon as he
gets back to Washington, tomorrow, he
will hear from the Senators of his party
who wish the currency question let alone
for the present.
There is more or less growling among
Republican Senators because a caucus
turned down the anti-trust amendment
tb the tariff bill, prepared by Senators
Thurston, Davis and Spooner, upon lines
suggested by Senator Nelson, and the
amendment has been introduced as a bill
by Senator Thurston. The bill makes
every person engaged in conducting a
combine or trust guilty of a misde
meanor, and provides for their punish
ishment, on conviction, by both fine and
imprisonment at hard labor. Although
it was stated by the opponents of this
amendment in the caucus that it was not
the matter itself they opposed, but in
corporating in the tariff bill, nobody
has any idea that the matter will be al
lowed to get through the Senate as an in
dependent bill.
There is nothing new- officially con
cerning the Ouban question, but the or
dering of Consul General Lee to Wash
ington to confer with Minister Woodford,
and the intimation giveu to the two offi
cers who have been chosen as military
and naval attaches, respectively, of the
U. S. Legation at Madrid, not to carry
their families with them, has furnished
grist for the gossips, who say that the1
last makes it clear that the administra
tion regards trouble with Spain over its
Cuban policy as so likely that it doesn't
wish the attaches of the legation to be
hampered by the presence of their fami
lies at Madrid.

There is quite a discussion here on the
! question of the f5(),()0tl bond issue to be
: voted on in September for "street im
; provemenK and oilier purposes.'' As
! stated yesterday there is not much chance
: ol the election being carried for the is

j to the city in the end. for that the care
j of the streets costs the city about fS.OOO

i paved this expense will be done away
will be issued, A prominent business
man here says if the bonds would be ex
clusively placed in the bands of this
street committee he would vote for the
issue, but the few "other purposes'" may
mean anything the aldermen may decide
to do out side of street, improvements,
and he will vote against it.
A rumour is being circulated along the

There are 20 criminal insane in the
State Hospital at Morganton who are to
be brought to the penitentiary and put
in the department prepared for them,
but there has been a dispute whether the
hospital or the penitentiary should bear
the cost. Treasurer Worth says today
that the expenses must be paid out of the
general fund, as the legislative act says
transfer is to be "a State charge.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.
The weekly crop bulletin for week end
ing Monday, July oth says the past week
has been extremely warm throughout
North Carolina, with maximum temper
atures between 90J and 100 on every
day and means averaging eight degrees
per day above the normal. The weather
has also been very dry, but beneficial
local showers occurred in portions of 2:5
counties. In these counties the week has
generally been very favorable. In these
general, however, the heal and drought
have considerably injured crops, at least
on highjand sandy lands:crops are every
where needing rain.
Cotton is doing well, however: it is
green and growing rapidly: stand very
good: is blooming epiite generally; not
yet suffering for rain.
Corn needs moisture badly; it is small
and the effect of the dry heat is to make
it silk nnd tassel too low; it has good
color, but is beginning to fire on light
lands; chinch bugs still doing some clain-
I age.
Tobacco seems to be suffering some
from drought: some leaves have been
cured in the eastern district. Gardens
and vegetables are receiving a serious set
back by the dry, hot weather m those
counties where no local showers occurred.
