THE WORST IN TEN YEARS Bulletin States that the Crops are About Ruined : ' CONDITION MOST , , UNFW0R4BLE ON RECORD Cotton Practically RitlSsd, Corn Crop a Failure. Ev.nttu Fo: rests Suffering Frpm the DroujM Dh- ' r mal Prosnect. ' f The Crop Bulletin for the week end ing Monday, August 13, 1900, -says: Wltb an experience of over ten years the au" thor of the Crop Bulletin of the Nortl Carolina Section does not remember eon.? ditions more unfortunate for agricultu4 ral Interests than those prevailing throughout North Carolina since Xugustj x, lifuu. A lie weauier uunug iuu wen i. ending Monday, August 13th, as charao-J terized by severe drought and intense heat. The maximum temperatures ranged from 90 degrees near the eaBt coast and in tie mountain regions to over 100 degrees in the sentral section and Piedmont Plateau, while the dally means have averaged nearly 8 degrees above normal. Tbe sunshine has been almost uninterrupted, and there wasprac tically an entire absence of precipitation during the week the light showers re ported August 11th being quite Insignifi cant. The effect of the prolonged and se vere drought has been very unfortunate: crops generally have deteriorated rapidly and all vegitatlon has been parched by the withering heat. The leaves of young deciduous trees have turned yellow, and the foliage of the forests looks dull and sickly from the "accumulated dust. Crops have suffered more becaused the pre vious drought in July lessened their vl-. tality and drought-resisting power. Farm work has been suspended; stub ble land !s too hard to plow: the second crop of Irish potatoes cannot be planted nor turnip seed sown, since the absence of moisture prevents all growth. Even cotton is unable to withstand the drought much longer. Late cotton that was plowed early in August is still do ing tally well and is heavily fruited, but older cotton is failing rapidly; leaves ar turning yellow, forms are shedding, and bolls drying up or opening prematurely.' Old corn has been practically ruined. many fields are completely dried from thfr tassel to the ground, and a small yield only can be obtained from early matured ears.. Young corn will also be a failure without rain very soon; much of it will not silk as growth has ceased: only crops on low or rich lands with abundant humus to retain moisture are still good. Tobacco Is drying up near the bottom and ripening too rapidly; curing is pro gressing with only fair results: as a small crop was planted the yield will lc .short. Minor crops, especially peanuts, rice, and sweet potatoes have deterio rated considerably. Tea vines and past ures have dried up. Fruit and melons are very abundant and a fine crop of grapes is expected. Shallowwells and streams have become dry and stock is suffering in some places. BUSINESS GROWING. Messrs. Weathers and Utley are daily Increasing efficiency of their establish ment by the addition of new machinery and the latest appliances for the manu facture of ploture frames snd general art work. Their frame and wall paper bus iness has increased so that additional employees have been added to keep up with the work. Both their wall paper and picture frame business is in direct charge of artists in the business and therefore nothing but first class and up to date work Is turned out. Today's Market Reports.

Philadelphia Tress. f :' AN "EXPANSION POPULIST" Mr. Otho Wilson Coins a New Political Term POPULIST CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE MEETS Call Their Convention for September Jenkins anl Gar.ett Kentioned Col. Logan Harris Talked ef ts Independent Republic Ctn4ldstB The Populist Executive Committee of this Congressional district will meet this afternoon at four o'clock and Issue a call for the Congressional convention. None of the delegates to this convention have been elected so that Topulist pri maries will have to be held throughout the district for the purpose of choosing delegates. The District Executive Committee is composed of a member from each coun ty in the district and Mr. Otho Wilson is the chairman of the district. lie will preRide over the meeting this evening and he arrived in Raleigh bright and early this morning with this holy pur pose In mind. ' The situation in this disfriet is some what peculiar. Will the Populists and Republicans again fuse on Congressmen? The Populists declare that their con vention, which will probably be called for about September 10 th, will certainly name a candidate. The leading Repub licans assert that they want the Repub lican convention to endorse the candi dacy of some sound money expansion Democrat, and if this is done what will become of the Populist nominee? If At-' water is renominated by. the Democrats then the Republicans are particularly anxious to support a gold Democrat or a straight Republican. If they do not then there is strong grounds for be lieving that Col. J. C. L. Harris intends to come to the front ci an independent Republican candidate. The colonel says that he intends to make some speeches for McKinley whether he is n candidate for anything or not. However, the indications are that the Populist convention will nominate either J. J. Jenkins, of Chatham, or Zack Garrett, of Vance and the Republicans will-put forth probably Giles, of ChaU ham, as elector. Col. Harris and Judge Spier Whitaker have been mentioned for elector,. The Populists will nominate, it is said, an "Expansion Populist." Now this is a new name in North Carolina polities and the credit for the same is due to Mr. Otho 'Wilson. He boldly informed Populists friends on the street here to day that he was an "Expansion Popu list," meaning presumably that he en dorses the present national administra tion on this great question and believes expansion will especially benefit the cot ton growers and manufacturers. He will this evening inform the Populist con this evening inform the Ponulist commit tee that be is for expansion and If they don't like it they can elect another chairman. Mr. Wilson has JUst appeared on the political arena again. He took no part in tbe State campaign but he now blos soms forth as an expansion Populist. Mr. Wilson admits to friends that after the late Ponulist State convention en dorsed Mr. Bryan he withdrew and took no further part, in the proceeding of the body. His tolt had hitherto escaped notice. MAKING IMPROVEMENTS The Acudemy of Mus!c Being Overhauled for Comiux Season. Manager Rivers lawgiving the Academy of Music a thorough overhauling. It is being put in first class condition for the coming season which opens the 22d Inst. An orchestra pit has been made and hereafter the musicians will not obscure tho view on the stage. Four large elec tric fans will be put In to produce a coal current when the evenings are warm. This will be a welcome feature, one which has long been needed. V '.,-; The boxes will bo given new and ele gant draperies, and the floors cahpeted. Several new pieces of scenery will be added. A special sclenle artist will be here this week to do this work. The electric light capacity of the hall has been doubly increased. Much of the in terior which has been defaced Is being repainted. The lenterprising spirit which Man ager Rivers is showing and which has been shown heretofore, deserves encour agement by the theatre-going public of Raleigh. Tho Academy deserves a suc cessful season-, as the large number of plays already booked shows that Man ager Rivers has secured the very best attractions which will tour the South tho coming season. - SENATOR BISHOP DEAD. Senator George Bishop, father of Mrs. L. P. Alford of this city, died at his home In Northampton county yesterday. He has been a useful, valuable citizen In North Carolina. The funeral will be held today. week Bro. C. B. Ddwards, Prof. Jno. E, Ray and Bro. S. J. Wynne, of Raleigh, spent a pleasant hour at the Home be tweon trains.
