T" - It is conservatively estimated that the 'North .Carolina crops' will not be more than 60 per cent.. of last season yield ' and that the crop will, in addition to the shortage, be about a month later than usual. Reports from various sections of Virginia say that the crop is excep tionally slim.

This need can only be met by an earnest determination on the part ef every country boy to get an education. Thousands of young men do not care to leave the farm; their wish la to remain there and make a success of lift j and there can be no greateriambltion nor a more worthy one than this. Every parent, every citizen should feel an obligation to help this boy. He should be encouraged, and filled with hope and sunshine. Farming will pay In dollars and cents; it will pay in the strong manhood It makes; It will pay in the true, honest citizenship It insures to our 8tate. . The future farmer needs a knowledge of his work; he must know how to Im prove the soil and maintain Us fertility; how to protect his crops from Insect enemies and disease; he must know farm animals; how to breed them; how to feed them; how to manage them; he must un derstand and practice crop rotation and know how to fertlllzs his crops. Those are a few things he must know. The boy who will adapt himself to these conditions, who will learn about these things, will make a success of farming; he will be a successful firmer and an honor to the Btato. - Why not then, young men get an ag ricultural education. Decide now that you will. The A. &. M. College waits to help you. Its doors are open to give you neip ana instruction, it is yours, for It was established to help yon Write for a a catalogue and Information about the agricultural courses, and then arrange to spend at least a year at the A. &. M. College. It will open a new world to yon and you will return bettor prepared to help yourself and better fit ted to help the State. ;; - Ou September 2nd the session begins, so you have no time for dolay. Begin your . preparation now;, talk the matter over with your parents, and with your chum and decide that yon will not neg lect the opportunity to prepare your solf for your life work. ., f CHARLES W. BURKETT, Professor of Agriculture. A nice lot fresh corned mulletu just re elved at J R Parker, Jr's. MERRITT. ' . Aug. 18.

Aug, lA-Hot weather prtralls, the rains have come and crops arc doing well. At one time we were la almost despair over the outlook before the long draoght Wat broken. The prospective cot ton crop and the prospective good prices make our farmers feel happy, . .. : The tobacco growers are sot to, the tyrant trust has them la its heartiest clutch, and will If it can, kill the goose for the golden egg. . . Money Is blessing when rightly em ployed, but when errainged against the general good of others for 1U own selfish inhuman ambition, It is a curse and the country that allows 1U greed to go un punished, ;ls Inviting a fearful revo lution sooner or later. The Caning Interest Is la progress that most enterprising dealer, Mr 0 8 Wal laoeof Morehead City has built two shad factories near by and it is exceed ingly gratifying to know the ' catch has been satisfactory, and that one of those factories has made an output ofjnearly (1,000 In lets than two months. : The clamming Interest la panned by numberless catchers.who having depopu lated the shoals and sloughs are now Invading the bottom of the sound after this popular bivalve. - Its exhaustion seems now only a mat ter of a short time. Bedders are paying 55 centa per bushel for them and one to two bushels Is the average work of a good clammer a day.' Labor Is organised against general work and fair wages. Tne day Is al ready here when hired labor Is worthless and payless. This may be a blessing in disguise. Farmers will be forced to small farms manuring an Improved Imple ments. Our Methodist Church entertainment to assist In raising the Conference Collec tions waa quite a success and creditable to the performers. All did splendid but special mention should be made of Miss Lizzie Ennett and Miss Bet tie Weeks. The managers Mrs E B Moore and Mrs J W Sanders deserve much praise for the plan and execution of the entertain ment. The Ladles Church Aid Society are doing a noble work for the Methodist here. Mrs R W Jones Is Prest. Many improvements are to be seen at the Church such aa fine carpeting, foot mats forty hymn books etc. God Mess the women and especially this society. A? B.

The weather was fine as a rule especially In Texas, where temperatures were very high and juBt as needed to help the crop. No rain of consequence outsiae of Jacksonville. No little concern was felt about the hurricane. Balls were calculating on Its striking the Gulf and extending to Louisiana or Texas. The market la very sensitive, more so than for some time. The new bales are ap pearing very slowly,' and until they are more numerous nobody cares to sell ex cept In a small way. The clique appar ently propose to hold on, at least, they show no signs of reducing their lines aa yet. Several new bales were reported at two points In Texas. Cables were steady at unchanged, to 2 points net advance. Rain was the forecast for the Atlantlo and Gulf States. Trading here was very slow most of the day. Buyers as well as sellers were holding back and people cared less to sell than to buy. 8,600 bales reached here from Europe. . Excursion From Washington.

BW ARMSTRONG HEW BERK'S RESORTS. How Black Mountain Contlanes to At tract It reople Black Mocktai, Aug 11. It Is Dr Frank Hughee who holds that of all the varieties of North Carolina mountain climate, that afforded by this resort Is the finest. It It the only mountain re sort lying directly east of the Craggy mountains, all the winds from the wet drift over thlt lofty range and are cooled In the journey. It Is often pleasant here when too warm on the AshevlUe plateau which Inckdtt Hen denonville and other places. Anyway thlt summer has brought a good number of New Bern people here, not so many as before the hotel was burned last winter, bat they have come just thesame and are quartered all over the valley. They have to travel to see each other but at 'train time" they are apt to meet at the station. Then there are a good many who are not New Bernlans but are so acquainted that they might well be Included in the "push " It may be of Interest to the many who have been here In past years to learn of those now here. Because he hat built a very pretty cottage here, Mr C W Mun ger gett first notice. His new eight room cottsge it on the high land back of where the hotel stood and In addition to Mrt Munger, Mitt Maud Munger and the younger children, there are guests at the cottage, Mrs G N Ennett and Miss Mamie Hunter Richardson, daugh ter of Mrs Lon Richardson, "of Craven street." Mr Munger expects to return during September. In what was the "Dllhoffer cottage," are enstalled Mr J J Baxter, Mrs Bax ter and Miss Sue Howard. This is the first cottage going north on the road from the station. Mr and Mrs S L Dill Jr and son Rich ardson are occupying "Sunset Lodge," the prettiest located cottage In the place Is said, Mr Dill Sr. "of the railroad" visited his son for a week and rested himself mightily. He preferred the flat country" the first day of his arrival but later voted double for the hills. At present with the Dills are Mrs R P Williams, Mr Ellis Williams, Mr Tom Williams and Mr Marcus Dili. In pass ing it may be said that these three latter adventurers are camping out on Mount Mitchell today. Yesterday Mr and Mrs Lon Dill and Mrs T A Green came by the noon train and are guests of Mr. DHL Mrs Ralph Gray, and daughters Mil dred and Margaret are staying at Mrs Mallory's, a place fronting the railroad and on the Ashevllle road, the famous old stage road of long ago. Mrs W D Barrlngton and daughter Pauline, Mrs Frank Perry and daughter and Mr and Mrt Robert Hancock are also sojourn ing at Black Mountain. Mr William Gasklns and family are residing here and come in the list and "C. Whit" Is In cluded, once a New Bernlan, being al ways so. Mrs Claypoole and Miss Caroline Clay poole arrived from Morganton Monday and are at the Montreat hotel. Mr S K Eaton Jr also stopping there. This place Is two miles up the valley to the north east and Is a beautiful and romantic spot. At what is called "the big house," one mile from the station across the val ley, is Mr A E Steven's and there are as bit guestt Mr and E B Stevens, Miss Jessie Stevens, and tor some time there were twelve guests at the place. The want of hotel accommodations has been felt this summer but this will be remedied bv ne it season. Several of the boarding houses propose to enlarge also for next year. There Is no place in the mountains so easily accessible as this from the east, and from where so many pleasant excursions may be made. Mr. Huyler, "the candy man", who owns the Monjreat hotel, has had a new trail cut to the top of Mt Mitchell which Is 4 miles shorter than the trail up the North- Fork. This trail leads first over uray beard and then on around Pinnacle and several other peaks until the highest point east of the Rockies," Is finally reached. This ascent Is what will always make this resort known to the multitude, as the starting point, for the trip is Irom Black Mountain. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.
