Some time ago ire called attention' to Iho effort being mado by the' Germans to grow - cotton in the ter ritory owned by ; Germany on the' LWeat.. coast of Africa. We noted: rthdepartnre of fonr . negroes of thia country to instruct the natives in', farming generally and ? in the cultivation and handling of cotton in" particular.' Three of these ne groes were, graduates of --Tnskegee (Ala.) Institute and were selected by Booker Washington on account ' of their special fitness for the work. t The fourth, also a college graduate, was" from Tennesseeand was select ed to act as superintendent on ac- count of his special fitness. They took with them, a supply of r;- agricultural machinery, and of seed, to begin their experimental farming. ' ; The following letter from one of them appeared in the St. Louis Re public and willjgive someidea of the work they had before them, and, what .they had accomplished up to ' . the time the letter was written, May 15th. - "As to my work here, I am getting ; -along very welt I find it very hard, howerer, to Ret material to work with. : This country, like all other unsettled countries, is yet without modern ma chinery. The saw mill, the cotton gin and, in fact, all modern machinery, is yet to be introduced. , Some of this machinery we hope to have in opera; . turn before our time is out here; . - "When we reached Lome we thought we were at the end of our journey, but : we had yet one hundred miles to go : in the 'bushes,' as they call it out here. It may sound hard, but we bad to walk this distance, carrying with us such things as we thought would sup- . ply our needs until we could get set tled. The trip was made in four days. By the fourteenth of January we had about settled where our farm should be. We began work clearing away ; with the help of the natives, and in a short while the site for our new home was selected. We have cleared away more than one hundred acres of land, - and a part of the same is planted in cotton, corn, peanuts and other things, and some of the cotton has more fruit on it now than many farmers will make on their whole crop in America. rhere is no doubt about the growing of cotton here, for it has been already demonstrated Six months, ago men passed this place without paying any attention to it, for it was nothing but a field of bushes and elephant grass, but to-day one is attracted by the number of buildings, the growing of cotton and other products, also the pulling of plows by horses, and men guiding them. "While Mr. Burks and Mr. Robin son are busy with their farm, I am at work trying to get the gin house ready to gin the cotton when it is gathered. I find the natives like to work, and will work if they get plenty of 'chop' (rood), as they call it, but they are not able to do much work ; they soon give out." The Superintendent writes as fol lows in reference to the natives of that section of the country: "The natives do not differ very much from the uneducated negroes of the "black belt" in the South. I be lieve the Africans have a better dispo sition. Color is about the same. If I did not know I am in Africa I could easily believe myself in Alabama. The natives are just as anxious to have clothes and to be educated as Ameri can negroes. Many of them want to come to America. . They do not seem to be lazy, but they cannot do a great deal of work on the food thev now eat., which is principally rice." V Judging from this these American "negroes have made considerable progress as far as they have gone and 7- they do not seem to entertain any -" doubt as to the possibility of pro ducing cotton in . that part of the : world where it had been attempted - before but under less favorable con l ditions by men who. knew but little about cotton and but, little about the natives and the way to work and manage them. What lends additional interest to all this is the" fact that if success be achieved in these experimental ef- -' forts the German possessions may eventually develop into an extensive - . cotton producing section and the -fj German manufacturers be able to ,-:. supply themselves from that region :'y ' as the Russian manufacturers ex pect to do from - Southern Siberia. - . The district in which the farm is ;V located on which these experiments yj: are being conducted is about the 4f size of South Carolina, but the Ger ,W man possessions entire in that region . cover an area of 925,000 square miles, j j Qur cotton producing area embraces about 670,000 square miles, which gires the . Germans nearly 300,000 :v more square miles of territory adapt d to cotton culture than the South VbasV lt is said that the climate and 'Tsoil of thia large area are suitable to - the growth of : cottonT " .- 2 v If all this be so, if these experi mental operations prove successful daily Interested in its" prospective possibilities as a .cotton producer, and one of: the competitors of the Southern cotton . growers. It .is needless to say that at least some of the European nations would hail the time when supremacy . as a cotton producer were wrested from this country,-and fields on the other side of the ocean 'would supply Europe's demands for raw cotton... Germany would be one of the first to hail that day.V- " a '.- C I - -The present Emperor is ambitious and commercially aggressive, while the German manufacturers having achieved the success they have within the "past quarter of a century have been inspired to continued ef fort to attempt more and even greater victories. They have in this the co-operation of the Emperor and of others who shape national policies. The American cotton grower would do well to keep his eye on the German possessions in West Africa and note the progress' made in cotton culture." It may and prob ably will be some years before enough is prodnced there to mate rially affect the world's markets, or antagonize American .cotton, but it is only a question of years when with this cotton area, and the cotton area of Southern Siberia, and South America, our supremacy will undoubtedly : be challenged and we will at least be confronted by compe tition that it will take all our re sources to meet. In the meantime he will be a wise cotton planter who turns his attention to diversified farming, which is the only sure farming after all. year a ; approximately correct, the showing compared with last year is poor, but the outlook for the 'farm era is not as bad aa It was a few .weeks ago, for the rains have given fresh life to the grass -crops, Awhile with the growing of other substitute crops for stock less corn will be re quired for home consumption and the farmers will be in a measure com' pensated for the shortage by -the in crease in the price of corn and wheat. A Kansas dispatch tells of a mar vellous occurrence in that State, the like of which was never heard of be fore. The funeral of a little girl was proceeding to the cemetery, wnen a thunder-storm came up. A bolt of lightning struck the hearse, and stunned the horses and driver. It also struck and shattered the metal casket which contained the supposed corpse of the little girl, who was found Bitting up crying for her mother when the attendants at the funeral gathered, around the hearse. It was a case of suspended anima tion, which would have been perma nent if it hadn't been for that timely bolt of lightning. Elizabeth Blizzard, in Baltimore, swooped down on her boy, who told her a lie, and determined to break that habit. Her first move was to jab a hot poker into his mouth. The municipal authorities did not ap prove of the reformatory methods, and now Elizabeth has six months in jail to think up some other-more acceptable method, in addition to which she must pay a fine of 150. Bxcoxnra wor&e. There is scarcely a day now that the wires do not bring accounts of assaults by negro fiends on white women, not unfrequently followed by murder. Three were reported in the dispatches published yesterday, two of these followed by the murder of the victims. One brute, the murderer of a young woman in Texas, paid the penalty with his life, at the hands of avengers, while the murder of a young woman in Missouri by a negro who became enraged at her rutusuuice, wiucu iouea mm in ac complishing his beastly purpose, re sulted in the driving of every negro out of the town, save a few who have good reputations.. In our own State there were re cently two assaults in Mecklenburg county in one day, one of the vic tims white, the other a colored child, and - notwithstanding the prompt arrest and conviction of the negro who assaulted the white wo man, there was another case, right in the city a couple days after, when a negro lying in wait seized and tried to strangle one of two white women - who were on their 1 way home. Their screams frightened him and he ran away. Every way has been tried to strike terror into the fiends who perpe trate these crimes. Hanging and even burning at the stake have failed to awe them, for instead of lessening these crimes are becoming more numerous, and their perpe trators bolder. They commit them, as in Charlotte, right under the shadow of the jail,, where one fiend is waiting to swing from the gallows into eternity, f Some of the critics who have never been subjected to the ordeal that Southern communities" are write homilies on and profess to be greatly shocked by the summary vengeance wreaked upon these malefactors when caught, but they suggest no remedy, and have none to suggest, save 'let the law take its course;" but if they lived in the South and had a mother, wife or daughter as saulted, and in -addition, as is fre quently, the case, ruthlessly mur dered by a heartless fiend, they would not stop to write lectures, or to denounce the "savagery,, that called for and wreaked vengeance on the guilty. I Speedy vengeance, outside of the forms of law, may not, and it does not- stop these crimes, but what might be the condition : of affairs if they were not so avenged ? Would a white woman or a female child be safe anywhere outside of their own home ? As it is they are not always, safe in it. ' f ' - Albert Fo88, of the town of Taz well, Ind., is another freak who boasted that he had never been kissed by or kissed a woman. When the girls heard this six of ' them waylaid him on the street, coralled him and" kissed him. And then the savage, instead of showing his ap preciation of their efforts to educate him, had them all arrested on a charge of assault. TWINKLINGS Are the bad boya very often.

Commercial Democracy In a nutshell is this: the Bepubliuan party never having been able to bully the South nor frighten us with force bills, is now trying to buy us with patronage. Beware of the G. O. P. bearing gifts. Augusta Chrontcle, Dem. The price of. tin has gone up three dollars per box as a result of the strike. It is now selling at 17. It is thus that the pinch which the striker gives tthe manufacturer is passed along and falls finally upon the unfortunate consumer, who has to grin and bear it as best he may. Philadelphia Record, Dem. Ex-Senator Chandler devotes considerable space to a description of the giant Trusts of the day and the giant evils they bring about; but when you read his remedy, namely: the exercise of legislative control over corporation organizations, the natural comment is "Oh, what a lama and impotent conclusion!" But, the fact probably is that Chandler is at his old trick of "pull ing the wool" over the public eye. Brooklyn Citizen, Dem. The tender regard of his Northern friends is touching in the extreme. The Fall Eiver Herald says: The negro is going to live in the South for some years to come, and be iB wanted in the South. But if he were not wanted there, the next step would be to exterminate him. He would not be welcomed North, East or West." This is sad, of course; but it also emphasizes the fact that there are several million people in this country who manage to get along somehow without col ored labor or "help" of any kind. It is very strange. Charleston Neios ana vouner, Dem. - After the Races: "I don't see why anybody would want to buy the lakes of Killarney." "Why do you say that?"

There is still much speculation as to the prospective yield of corn in this country this year. : Of course the estimates can - only be "approxi mate, for much; depends upon the conditions that may prevail between now and early 'Fall, when the crop. in the great corn States of the West matures.. If the growing conditions be favorable the yield may be con siderably larger than; at present an ticipated; n unfavorable consider ably smaller, while there is always danger from frost when the crop is backward" The following, Bhowing tne production In the principal corn growing States, Vrill give some idea of the falling off this year from present indications, on which esti mates are based.

Sunday morning the usual quiet of Asheboro was rudely broken by the news that Will Hamlet, a sober, industrious and highly respected young man had com mitted suicide. He had been hi rather poor health for several weeks, and had become restless and despondent. . Raleigh Times: Thursday af ternoon Charles Burch and : Will Pal mer, both colord, had a serious affray on Cabarrus street, near the old depot. Burch cut Palmer under the heart, and his wound may prove serious. Palmer was carried to the hospital by Officer Woodall. Officer Rogers ar rested Burch. Statesville Landmark: A white man, a stranger in the community and apparently a tramp, was soliciting alms at the residence of Mr. W. W. Nicholson, about two miles north of town, early Friday morning, when he fell dead. Papers on the dead man's person gave the name of Gadd and he was apparently 60 or 65 years old.' Charlotte Observer: Among the number of eases handled by Re corder Shannonhouse yesterday morn ing there was one against a white man. a. w. Douglas, who was charged with an affray with J. W. Carter, colored Carter was badly hurt and was taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital. It now develops that his skull was frac tubed. The case was continued until Saturday morning,, the defendant being pi reed u nder a $250 bond. Raleigh News and Observer: Dr. Tait Butler, the new Bute Veter inarian and Professor of Veterinary. Science in the A. and M. College, reached Raleigh Monday. . He is just from Mississippi, where his family is visiting, vr. Butler left the Kansas A and M. Colleee last week. For several years he has been State Veter inarian of Kansas and professor in the Kansas college. He is president of National Association of Veterinary Surgeons, and is a most eminent specialists in his line. Dr. Butler is a native of Canada, though most of his life has been spent in the Unites States. Charlotte News: The case of the SUte against Robert Allen and Dave 8tepenson for an affray came up Tuesday afternoon and a fine of $35 and one-half the costs was imposed upon Allen, the balance of the costs and no fine being imposed upon Ste phenson. The testimony showed that Alien nad coupled an oath to the term of a liar and applied the entire epithet to Stephenson, which the latter re sented by knocking Allen, down. The latter arose with a knife and pro ceeded to cut 8tephenson . in the abdec men. In giving the sentence Judge Sbaw remarked that a man who called another a d m liar ought to expect to be knocked down. Allen, and Ste phenson are brothers in-law. Fayetteville Neto Bra: Mr. S. R. Parker, of Cumberland county, is under bond for his appearance next Saturday before Esquire Overby to an swer the charge of assault upon a young man named Dawkins, living in his neighborhood. So far as-we can learn, Mr. Parker does not deny the assault, but claims justification there for. It seems that on the evening of the 16th Mr. Parker fell upon the young man and administered to him proper chastisement for outrageous conduct at his house the night before, Dawkins having entered his bouse while his daughter lay a corpse in the midst of a company of sympathizing friends, and by profanity and boister ous conduct mortified the company and outraged the -feelings of his family. '- Raleigh Pest: The dead body of a negro woman named Willie Sea borne was found in her own trunk at her home in Asheville ' Monday morn ing. The body had been cut up and doubled into the trunk with a lot of the woman's effects. Thewoman was seen last Sunday night with John Miller, her paramour. They were quarreling. Sunday Miller appeared nervous and uneasy. He asked where the, woman was. Later he said she had left Asheville and he was going to ship her trunk to her. He dissap peared about 8 o'clock Monday morning.- A negro woman saw blood stains in the room and the trunk was opened Officers are after Miller. He is me dium sized, rather black; with a scar on the face. The woman was killed with an axe, the coroner says.

It was cold and miserable, and the singer was naturally not in the best of tem pers. While chewing the cud of disap pointment an old railway, porter who recognized him from the published por traits entered the waiting room. . ""Good evening, Mr. Sims Reeves," he said. "Good evening, my man," replied the .vocalist, getting ready the necessary tip. But the man sought for informa tion rather than tips. . Tney ten me you earn a heap of money," he remarked. "Oh!" murmured Mr. Beeves. "And yet," pursued the porter, "you don't work hard. Not so hard as I do, for Instance. But I d essay you earn p'raps ten times what I do eh?" "What do you earn?" asked .the singer. "Eighteen shillings a: week all the year round," said the porter. Sims Reeves opened his chest. "Do, re. ml do," he sang, the last note be ing a 'ringing top one. "There, my man; there's your year's salary gone." The amazed railway man gazed won dermgly at the singer for a full min ute.
