Ralkioh, April 25. It is really laugh
able to hear the Republicans talking
about Chairman Simmons', really amir
able reply to Chairman Butler. Oue can
well Imagine what the Republicans would
say. The United Btates district attorney,
for example, saya Chairman Blmmons
was afraid to meet Senator Butler on tbe
stump. Collector Duncan saya he con
aiders that It was a back-dowtf. He
also considers that the Populists "threw
themselves against the " amendment.
The collector Is a great, dlecerner these
days. ; On each of bis frequent trips to
the east he discovers a fresh lot of Dem
ocrats who Intend to vote aealnst the
amendment He is nearly as (treat a
discerner as Major Hiram h. Grant, who
lolls the Republicans here that Wayne
county will give 1 000 majority against
the amendment. ' . , - .
Pcople.who have read the reply of Mr
Simmons with care nnite iu saying that
It was a well deserved answer to ques
tion which the fllmslness of the disguise
which the Populist leaders are trying to
mask themselves with. - . f " ;

. Rai.kkih, April 21 Tbe Weekly Crop
Bulletin for tbe week ending Monday,
April 23, 1000, is as follows:
Tbe retioris of croo correspondents
for tbe week ending Monday, April 23,
1900, were generally unfavorable, and
Indicated very untoward conditions and
an almost complete cessation of farm
labors. While tne week opened fair and
spring-like in the eastern half of the
State, and some progress was made In
plowing aud planting during Monday
and Tuesday, elsewhere almost continu
ous and. very heavy rains occurred. I
the ex'treme west the , rainfall begaji
Monday (10th); further cast on Wednes
day" (18lh), since which dates almost
nothing whatever could be done on ac
count of the continuous -downpour and
soggy condition of the soil. The rainfall
for the weetranged from 1 32 inches at
Wilmington to 7.63 Inches at .Marlon.
The risers throughout the State reached
the flood stages; mllldams and bridges
were carried away: lowlands, were sub
merged and some cattle drownqjt many
plowed fields with- fertilizers already
spread were badly washed or ruined, and
some damage was done to crops already
planted. The rains cease,d Saturday
night (31st), bnt several days of dry
weather will be needed to restore the
soli to a condition fit for working. Tbe
only advantageous feature of the weath
er was the uniform excess in tempera-
tore, which averaged 8 above the nor
nial dally.. The. warmth and moisture
caused pronounced growth in vegetation
generally; seeds already planted sprouted
rapidly; small grains, grass,- and clover
flourished. Iu the extreme weBt forest
commenced to turn green. "
Farm work Is now generally over two
weeks later than tho average, i While
few" correnpOudeuts report corn, all
planted, the : work Is progressing very
slowly over'rn.'si rountlos, Karly plant
ed com is coming, up nicely. Prepara
tions for cotton have been much drlayed;
a very small portion only of crop to be
plsuted .has been put la the ground and
none 1j reported up. Tobacco plants
made Borne growth aud a few have been
transplanted in ' the eas ern portion, ot
the Slate.' Wheat continues very prom
Islnir anils growing fast. Winter oats
-are very poor aud caunol recover a tnor.

riuences; spring.oais are coming up to
good standv .Gaidens, though still late,
are improving ; Irish potatoes are thrlf-
y. Early cabbages are heading;, ship
ments of vegetables have begun. Bed
ding sweet potatoes continues, A large
portion of the rice crop on the lower
Cape fear river has been . planted,:. An
exceptionally large fruit crop Is prorata-
