The sheriff of this county says he has examined crops in various sections of It and finds that they are deteriorating very fast Indeed.

Theodore H. Prince on Cotton Out look. New York, Aug. 24. The deterlora tlon reported in the cotton crop seems to be so general and far reaching that I now regard the prospect of even a mod erste crop as doubtful Taking the belt as a whole, the. Atlantic States seems to be the only seotlon from which even an aversge crop can be expected. Should an early frost or dry weather ir jure the prospects in these States, It Is probable that cotton would go to extreme prices and stay there as five short crops would convince the world that the maximum productive capacity of theootton belt has been attained. Under tbe circumstances, I feel justl fled In advising producers of cotton in the 8outh not to sell their crop except at fall price. It any unity of action In this respect can be secured I think that IS cents a pound can be legitimately and oommer cially realized by this year's cotton crop and this without manipulation or resort to speculative coercion. PELLET1BR August 23rJ We are having sosse very warm weather at present. Crops ate not so good. Cotton is shedding badly. The Unitarians held their regulsr monthly service Sunday. Qalte a large congregation. Mr Frank Buck showed us a sample stalk of corn measuring Hi feet. Mr CP Watson caught a large ali gator with a hook, which has been de stroying our huntsmen's best dogs.

Aug. 24. the cooler torrid pe- The Charlotte Observers new depart ment of "future Belles and Beaux of North Carolina" last Sunday had a pie tureof Miss Margaret Leona Pay lor, the daughter of Mr and Mrs Herbert L Pay lor of Greensboro and a niece of tcte Misses Cox of thle city. antal Step Lightly, There I Charlotte Observer 24th. President Jas A Bryan, of the Allan tic North Carolina Railroad Company has called a special meeting ot the stockholders of the company for Sep tember let, to consider the question of a lease of the road. The regular annual meeting occurs the fourth Thursday in September, There Is naturally specula tion as to why there should be a special meeting called so close to the data of tbe annuel meeting. While It would better that the road should be leased, those who advocate this disposi tion are not disposed to press It to the disadvantage of the private stockholders There should be no undue haste, and above ah things, there should be no sacrifice of the State's interests nor of the interests of the private stockholders There should be some plan that would lead to a settlement of this whole ter. Sooner or later the settlement win probably be by irate, but It may not be desirable to press the subject of a lease at a special netting called to soon be fore the regular annual meeting. We are glad to welcome weather after the recent rlod. Crops are damaged nearly one half by the late rains. Qalte a number ot our poople went to the seashore Sunday and spent a pleas ant day. We are having a good deal of sickness In our neighborhood now, Mrs Emmett Williams of Greenville, C. Is visiting her mother, Mrs Bettle Wetherlngton of this place Tuscarora It exceedingly blessed, not only with plenty of good things to eat, but plenty of work and at good prices too. Ordinary labor is worth 1.00 per day with a good demand for It Fresh meat and venisen are very plea Uful. Oar little place consumed five or si beeves besides other meats last week, and the hunters brought In tour deer, which were quickly bought up by the neighbors. Fish are plentiful and cheap. Croak ers sell for fire cents a bunch. There is only one reason a person can't live well and comfortably in this neighborhood and that is for that person to be badly afflicted with laziness. Hilllard Brown, one of our best old darkles died last Sunday night. Hll Hard came here when he was 16 years old snd lived here until his death at which time he had reached his 80th year A Rile Through The Country BCreala Many Things In lis Favor. It was the Journal reporter's good fortune to tike a ride through Pamlico county Wednesday and to take note of the prosperous condition of affairs of that locality. To say that be was sur prised at the outlook Is but feebly ex pressing tbe state of the case. The prospect for another phenomenal re sult of cotton picking Is almost assured Tbe rains of the past few weeks hsve not affected tbe crop in this county so much as It has In others andthefielis were white with bolls giving to the eye a pleasing picture of natire's boun tiful benefactions. The cotton crop throughout the country Is looking uni formly good and it is predicted by good judges that tbe 1904 picking will aver sge more than a bale to the acre. ' The corn which Is scarcely leas Im portant than the cotton crop Is exceed ingly fine. The grain is about ripe and the work of "laying by" the fodder is being done. Tbe outlook for a very large yield of crop is also very encour aging. A strange contrast was present ed to the reporter as ho rode through the county which bore evidence in tbe most piastlcal way ponBible of the good effects of fertilizer. There were few field seen that will not yield 100 bushels to the acre. There were many fields in which sweet potatoes and smaller vegetables were growing which had every appear ance of giving very large results for the labor expended. All these factors ill contribute largely to the material success of the Pamlico farmer snd the aggregate result will show that the county is a leading agricultural county of the State. The one thing needed to develop the resources of this really wonderful sec tion Is a railroad to assist the farmers In the transportation of their goods to market. They have suffered enough on account of poor carrying facilities. While 1', Is true, the county Is among the younger districts of the State having been sepa rated from Craven in 1872 the develop ment has been sadly neglected on ac count of the lack of a railroad. The un certain conditions of both highway and river transportation is bound to work a hardship on the farmers of that sec tion to cause them to suffer where un der other circumstances they would be benefitted. We are pleased to state that the prospects of a railroad In the near future are most brilliant. The con structlon of the Pamlico, Oriental & Western railway, the progress of which has frequently been noted in the col umns of the Journal is being energet ically pushed. At the New Bern end of the line all is activity. Sqaads of men are working st different places, clearing the right of way, digging ditches, making grades, catting ties and engaging In work of helping along the new road. The work on the trestle is being rspidly completed a second pile driver has been engaged to plant the foundations for the bridge. It Is expected that rails will be laid there very soon. At present there are 103 men at work, a large pari of the laborers are the Italians which have been brought here in large number from the north. After September 1st, there will be upward of 200 men at work and It Is unnecessary to stats that the .ond will be completed without farther Interruption. It is hope that the first train will go through to Bsyboro by November 1st. The farmers of Pamlico era enthus iastic over the renewed prospects of the road. All who were Interviewed on this matter are without exception In favor of tbe road. ' They feel that they will not longer be made the victims of primitive transportation. It Is tbe writer's intention to visit the balance of the county and write it up In full and give Information on the con ditions that exist there. Fall Peas -For Truckers.
