By Cable to The Morning- Star. Berlin.-Oct 3. Andrew de Wet nep hew of the famous Boer General Chris tian de Wet, has been arrested at his residence in a suburb of Windhoek, German, Southwest Africa, with four other Boers accused of plotting the overthrow of German rule in South west Africa and create a Boer repub lie. This news purporting to come from an excellent authority was dis tributed to the German press by the Ianseatlc press bureau, and is ac costed as true by leading Berlin Jour nals. Andrew de Wet, who is a merchant of Windhoek is described as having arranged with the rebel natives to make common' cause with them. About 15,000 Boers are said to be in'Ger man, Southwest Africa, one quarter of whom are organized. Considerable quantities of arms were seized at de- Wet's house. Although the arrests occurred August 23rd,. nothing was re ported by cable to the newspapers, doubtless on account or. tne censor ship. Andrew de Wet married a daughter of a Prussian army officer. Charlotte Chronicle: The Chroni- fle last Spring suggested that some farmers In Mecklenburg had sufficient lands on their farms suitable for growing rice to enable them to grow their own supplies. On nealy every farm there is a little green patch of marshv land that could be converted into a rice farm. One of the most In teresting exhibits at the approach ing county fair will be an exhibit of rice grown In Mecklenburg county. The suggestion appealed to a color ed .man named Luther Williams, who came from lower South Carolina, and whose father Is an experienced rice Kiower. William planted a small plot, and his crop is ready to harvest. The rice attained about the average size of wheat and bearded finely. It is said to be nual to the best grown on the coast farm. .The rice in the stalk, the loKshed rice and an old-time rice mor tar will make up the home grown rice exhibit at the fair, and It ought to Interest the farmers.
