Report. Daaeaa Oa The Cam

August Tote.
Special to Journal.
Raleigh, Aug. 24. The crop report
for August, by the State, agricultural de
partment was Issued today and is of ex
treme luterest. It says: Crop prospects
are not encouraging, and little or no
Improvement can be expected. In June
all crops were smiling. July shows a
decrease in condition, greatly augmented
by August in most sections. The seasons
hive been most unusual, excessive rains
In some places, followed by drought
while in others the drought was hardly
broken In two months. In some areas
the seasons were favorable. It Is for
these reasons very difficult to make
any satisfactory estimates of the cropt
In their condition.
The estimate of cotton is 73; that ol
the United Stales is 80. For corn tbi
esttmate is 75; that of the government 6i
But the government got its report our
August, while the State report is lalei
and during the Interval there was a
steady decrease iu conditions. All cropb
will lie far from promising.
It is surprising to note the difference!
(a cum i us from different counties, soon
showing average crop, others a decliu.
of J or even i- Late private report
show an even worse condition In certalu
parched ami sun-scotched counllet.
As t tobacco the government made
no report lor June. In July its figure
were MO, and so were those of the Slate
report. For August the government's
figures are 80, the State's figures 81,
which taken In connection with this
year's decrease la acreage makes this
year's crop In yield and quality, 70 per
cent of last years. But since these offi
cial August returns came In conference
by letter and In person with leading
growors In the sections most effecud
show that the correct figures are about
65 per cent.
Cotton Is 78, as staled, a decline of 14
since the July report. Field peas are 82,
sweet potatoes 82, Irish potatoes 78, pea
nuts 8;!, sorgbam 80, late cabbage 70,
apples 74, grapes 89.
The gallows is now being put in the
Jail yard hers for the execution of Tom
Jones, the negro murderer next Friday
lie makes confession. As yet Gov. Rus
sell has taken no steps to the execution
of Tom Smith, in jail here, convicted of
murder In Johuston coonty.
Revenue Collector Duncan, the head
and front of the Republican party In
eastern North Carolina says his party's
natloual campaign will begin about Sep
tember 1st. lie added "I presume the
partywill be glad to have the vote of
all who are entitled to vole. Chairman
Holloa will be at the bead of affairs. The
campaign ought to be lively. We hare
made only three nominations for Con
gress thus far. John llolton In the 7th,
Spencer Blackburn In the 8th and James
M. Moody lu the Dili district.
The Raney public library here will be
completed October 1.
The canvass of the returns of the vote
In the August election sbow It was 27,
000 less than In 1898, the falling off
being In the negro vole. The white vote
was very full.
