In North Caroliua there are about
11,000,000 acres of idle farming
laud which should be planted in

to prevetit it from washing, but the;
timber will make a good investment
besides, as it will be growing all the
time without any cultivation, and
will soon be large enough for posts,

Seven white boys were tried in
Superior court at Raleigh one day
last week charged with assault with
deadly weapon on a negro. The
negro was a seventeen year old boy
who is in the employ of the A & M
college. The crime was committed
near the fair ground. The boys,
who were about sixteen in number,
began their assault in the old In
dian style from behind telegraph
posts and embankments one shot
was fired which cut a hole through
the negroes hat.
At Sp'^ncer last Thursday night
two persons were killed and twenty
or more injured by an axplosion of
a powder storage house on the yard
of the Southern Railway company.
The dead men are C. 13. Layton,
of Raleigh, and Geo. Gould, of
Spencer. The entire numbered of
the injured were carried to the hos
pital in Salisbury. The fire con
sumed twenty or more cars and their
material, The powder magazine
contained about half car load of
pow^der and other explosives. Quite
a number of buildings were badly
damaged, the effect of the explosion
bein^ felt at the distance of eigh
teen miles.

A New Source of Beef.
Milwaukee Wisconsin.
The butchers of New Orleans are
organizing a purchasing company
for the, purpose of importing cattle
from Central American ranche.s,
and their plans naturally I’eceive in
dorsements from the ranchers farth
er souf.h, as tiie oueniug of new
markets would stimulate the cattle
industry. Therefore, in a short
time tlie experiment of providing
Southern consumers with imported
beef may be in fall swing.
The success of this undertaking
will dei^eud largely upon the ciiar-
acf('r of the beef tliat is obtainable
in Centi'a.1 America. ^‘Any old
thing” will not do for American
meat consumers, who have had their
taste for a choice product (iultivat-
ed by the consumption ' of corn-fed
steers from the western steers. Cat
tle that arc brought from Texas are
not satisfactory on this account, and
in order to make them acceptab!^
they must bo fed on corn for a per
iod after the drive northward. If
Central American cattle are no bet
ter than the cattle that are raised
on the Texas ranges, the New Or
leans experiment will have to in
clude the feeding of all imported
cattle on corn for a time long enougli
to change the qualito of the beef.
