A census bulletin recently published ehows that the farm values in the United , States are still immensely greater than those of any other, kind of property. : ; In 1900 the farm property of the United States, including live stock and machinery waa. valued at $20,514, 001, 638. These farms yielded in 1899 pro ducts to the value of $4,739,118,752, or 18.3 per cent, of their entire value. This was,-of course, the gross in come. What the net income was can not he stated, or even; estimated,' with any degree of certainty, The combined farmers are still ahead of the gigantic steel trust by about nineteen billion dollars, though the trusts and other forms of aggregated and organized wealth are making rapid gains on the total of agricultural values. - -- The railroads represent a greater in vestment than any - other interest ex cept the f arms. . - , : ' In 1900 tha surface railroads in the United States were valued $12,76S, 910,837, or about three-fifths the value of all the farms, with their live stock and machinery. : The gross income of the railroads in 1901 was $551,020,460 which , was 4.2 per cent, on the nominal investment. On account of the quantity of water in it this is far iu excess of the actual investment. 1 The farmers own more property now than they ever owned before . and, generally speaking, are probably in a better condition. But for the levy which the protective tariff makes upon them their condition would be much better than it is. . If the farmers could buy tariff-pro tected articles made in their own coun try at the prices which are charged for them in foreign markets, their net profits would be increased many mil lions every year. And yet many farmers vote to main tain a system that robs them of a large percentage of their earnings. : Do th.

The career of the outlaw Tracev has had a dramatic end.' Surrounded by a posse, the man who for nearly two months had eluded his pursuers turned his pistol upon himself and cheated the gallows of one who" richly " deserved to be hanged. Tracey's adventures since he escaped from prison on June 9 throw the deeds of the dime hovel hero into the shade. His escape from the Oregon enitenuary was accomplished only after he had murdered the prison guards, ; From that time until he ended his life yesterday his career was that of the typical ruffian. He stole horses in order to continue his flight,' fought dee perately with his pursuers, killed the convict who escaped with him from the Oregon renitentiary, obtained food and lodging at pistol's point, and terrorized whole communities. -The library of yellow-back fiction does not record the exploits of a hero-; more daring and more depraved than Tracey. According : to his own statement, Tracy was unjustly convicted of a crime of which he was innocent. - - He con fessed, however, that he had been a thief and a murderer, and on general principles the penitentiary seems to have been the proper place for him. The only redeeming trait the map possessed was courage, but perhaps any fugitive from justice would fight desper ately to avoid capture. He was cun ning to remarkable degree and displayed extraordinary skill in eluding pursuit. ' But this is about all that can be said in his favor, and those who would exalt him into a real hero have a faulty conception of what constitutes true manhood. He was a desperado ol a repulsive type, a man whose hands were stained with the blood of many victims. He seems to have met death bravely, but if he had not killed him self and had been taken alive he would have expiated his crimes on the gallows does not require reat courage to commit suicide in such circumstances. About the Fayettevllle Cneord i Railroad. Fayettevllle Cor. Charlotte Observer. No more important railroad enter prise has been begun in North Carolina in a quarter of ; a century than the Fayettevule & Concord railroad, 01 which the Central Carolina Company is the promoter, capitalized at $2,000,000, and to put the work out promptly from both ends of the line within sixty days. The route deflects only a little to the south of the great line from the Cape Fear river to the Yadkin Narrows, ad vocated all his life by the late Governor Morhead as the true State syBtem The distance between Fayetteville and Concord is 102 miles, through a country densely wooded in fine timber, , well watered and rich in minerals and larm ing lands.

At one of the Holiness meetings Danville recently earnest prayers wee offered invoking a drought in that im mediate Bection, that the tobacco crop might be destroyed. " These people look upon the use of tobacco as sinful 'and place it beside drunkenness, gambling ir, ftthfir evils.- The drought of many weeks' duration in that immediate sec tion was broken Tuesday evening by a refreshing shower, followed Wednesday afternoon by two aaaiuou Atlanta CotMtttuQoa. little things fret as more than big ones. If I write that Neptnne it six teen hundred millions of miles from the on and it comes oat in print sixteen million it worries me. If I write that the doctor sewed np hare lips and it cornea oat hair lips, I don't like it The type didn't know that a rabbit hadaalit under iu nose. If I write that I walked out into the garden to let my choler down, meaning my anger, the typo thinks I meant my shirt collar, and so changes the spelling to suit his own idea. But since I read an editor's defense in a New York paper I feel bet ter, for he says it is amazing how few of these mistakes are made in the great dailies that have to be rushed through with lightning speed.- The constant pressure on .type -setters and proof readers is tremendous, but they rarely make any serious blunders, and the intelligent reader can generally cor rect them in his mind. And so I will not worry any more about it. There are some other little things that are of more consequence just now. Our cook has quit, and so has the house maid gone off to Bockmart for a week or two gone to a house party, I think. That is all right, for the cook has been faithful a long time and needed rest She is good servant and keeps a dean kitchen, and we have had a house par ty ourselves for several months. I have been sick, but now we are reduced to the regular family of five and have but little to cook and can get along on two meals a day. My wife arranged it for me to fire up the stove and fill up the kettles and grind the coffee and pot on the hominy and then ring the bell for the girls to get up and finish up the breakfast. She said that if I felt like it I might sweep out the hall and the front veranda and settle up the' front room. Well of course, I had . to split up some kindling and bring i a the stove wood, but I am getting along fairly well and my wife thinks the exercise is doing me good. : Last night she hinted that the veranda was badly tracked up since the rain and needed a good wash ing. So this morning I turned loose the hose pipe on it and she praised me right smart and I brought her some roses from my garden. , We let her sleep until breakfast is ready, for she cleans up her room and makes up two beds and then sews :. all . day for f the grandchildren. : But I want that color ed house party to break up as soon . as possible, for I don t hanker after . this morning business as a regular Job. Mrs Mimms says she likes it, and T think she-ooes. She has a good: room in the back yard and good furniture and a good handsome lamp to read by, and her little grandson lives with her, and I don't know of any colored woman that has a better time. In fact, I know of lots' of good negroes in . town who are contented with their situation and will continue to if ' they are let alone by the northern fanatics and southern cranks. j " . What craze has come over that man Sledd to cause him to write such' a fool piece for the Boston magazine? What good can it possibly do, even if it was true? But it is not true and only the product of a diseased imagination. I would write hard things about him but for his family connections. For their sake he had better have smothered his feelings and his pen. The Atlantic Monthly has never shown any love for the south, and why he should select that as his organ- passeth comprehen sion. Professor Sledd says the negro is an inferior race. Then why does he insist that we give him a place in our own churches and hotels and railroad cars? -';.-.! V ' Ii was the work of the Creator: that made him inferior, and he will remain so and neither education nor misceg enation will ever change it so : far as social ' equality is : concerned. ' Moses violated the law of God when he mar ried that Ethiopian woman, and he had to discard her, - and Axon and -: Miram chided him ? for it long - after wards. Numbersl xii. The Story goes, according to Joseph,- that the Egyptians were at war with the Ethio pians and had suffered defeat in every battle until Pharaoh was advised that no one could command his. army sec- cessfullv but Moses. So - Moses was given command and he marched' with the army to the borders of . .Ethiopia nd met the nemy and defeated them and then marched, oh -to' Saba,, the royal city, and attacked the walls, and Tharbis, the daughter of the King, saw Moses from the window of her tower, and he was so handsome that she fell desperately in love with him and sent a messenger to him to Bay that u ne would marry her she ! would surrender the city and army J to him. Moses. agreed to this and their 'marriage was at once consummated. .Then Moses returned with his victorious army to Egypt. He did not take with him. his Ethiopian wife, but not -long after he married ZiDDorah. the daughter of Jethro the Midianite.! ' " ' So we must sop xee that Moses mar ried the Ethiopian princess as a -war measure and with no idea of keeping his promise. At any rate - it caused trouble and shame in the family, and so it has done ever since whenever white person mates with a negro. , ' What a monstrous falsehood to say that the southern negro is dehumanized. LJ!... . j sight here in our town avery , negro mechanic is employed at good wages. Blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, paint ers, draymen are all busy. Cooks nurses a nd warshwoman find constant employ ment and they are not only contented but sorrie times dare to be merry - and laugh. Where did Sledd get all that rot about kicking and cursing and beat ing the negro? We never hear of such treatment in this region. Mr. Milam, truthful' gentleman, ; whose business keeps him on the street, told me the other day that he had heard but one oath uttered by anybody within a year, and that was by a northern man to wards a negro who asked him a civil question. ; Dehumanised, indeed! Ask Tribble and Brown who give their shops the most patronage. What ridiculous folly to demand seats in our churches for the negroes. They -have churches of their own that were built mainly by the charity of the white folks. They don't want seats in our churches They have school, of their own that we support, and they kav cxeonkms and basefeail and watermaJoo and tnoerals and Danghtersof Ztoo. Oh, for shane on Sledd! I pity hie family and his kindred. lie thinks he has foond a mare's neat, and for lack of something fresh has raked np 6am Horn agaia lie laments the lynching, but not the outrage, and be proposes a remedy. Mr. biedd can act this down that toe lynching will not atop until the oat rage do. When a negro dhumaoiaes himself and becomes a beast he ought to be lynched, whether it is Sunday or Monday. Let the lynching co on This is the sentiment of our people. and let Boston and The Atlantic Month ly and Sledd howl We are used to that. Not long ago we had a lynching in Borne that wa to my notion. The beast wa strong op in Broad street in tha daytime and shot to, piece and nobody wa disguised. The lodge lived there and the sheriff and the town marshal and policemen and a military company, and the governor wasn't far away, but not a soul said cay. That suit me exactly.

The nominees are Mr. E. J. Justice, of McDowell, and Judge A. C. Nvery, of Burke. The trouble began in the McDowell prima ries where it is charged that Mr. ' Jus tice ran things with a pretty high hand. As a result both: of the McDowell pa pers, the Democrat and the News, re fuse to support Mr. Justice, and the indications are that a good number of the Democrats of the county are with them.

Three days after Miss Deacon's avow al the Crown Prinoe gave her a ring which he had sworn to give to nobody except his wife, it being a present he had received from his grandmother, the late Empress Fredrick. I A flecro Lawyer Calleel Doira' la Charlotte Recorder. Court. J. S. Leary, a well known colored lawyer, was severely rebuked by the re corder in the Charlotte city court hut week. -Recorder Shannonhouse said that he had reason to believe that Leary had been soliciting business among the col ored prisoners, and this the recorder regarded as degrading to the legal pro fession. When . a witness ; was called upon to corroborate the recorder's state ment Leary rose to his feet.

J la the early spring ed that year Gen eral Jarkaou had rutimt his 'Cbmmi ary GeneraT' Bank th coaimand of the Fdral amy in th. va3y through Winthoater and MarUaatjarr. acrom the Potomac into Maryland, with the las to vh latter of many man and a Urga quantity of miUtary aural, and tbeo-kisurdy returned to Vla cbewter, where b was not fwrmttted tn remain Wmg undisturbed by his esa miea. Banks, Shield and Frrmool, apjiroaching from three aide (north, east and wtt), eodrored to cut off Stonewall retreat ttp the ?Uy. After leaving Winchester th. Con. federate followed the turniake first class j road through krondsbnrg, Woodstock, Edenburg, ML Jarkaon and New Market, to llarriaoahntT, where they left the turnpike and atrack out in the direction of the Blue Moon tains by way of Mt. Crawford. ' Bet the condition of the pike and the red day road on which Jack son's command now found itself there could be no oompariaon. : Everything on wheels stuck fast in the mud, and the patience of officer and men were alike tried to th. utmost The Infantry and cavalry kept out of the mud road aa much as pnasibi, seeking the fklds and threading their way through the woods, where the ground was not cut up so much. Not withstanding the disheartening condi tion of things, the toilsome march was kept up in the direction of Port Repub lic, with Banks and Fremont hanging like bulldogs on the rear, and Shields pushing with all his might up the. Lu ray Valley to keep Jackson from creas ing the river and reaching the protec tion of the "burly Blue Rdge, after hi anticipated defeat by the two first named generals. At a point on the road where it was belly deep to the horses a twelvepound howitzer was stuck fast, and the dis gusted artileryman strove in vain with whip and spur, fence rails, strong English and every expedient that dis gusted men could think of to get the piece out of the "slough of despond." At this time some cavalrymen sitting on their loiWlooked idly on, and con gratulated, themselves upon having four legs tinder them instead of four wheels, and a heavy piece of artillery in their charge, which seemed to be possessed of the deyU of obstinacy. While the cavalrymen were enjoying the situation, sitting high and dry upon their horses, and now and then crack ing a loke at the expense of the mad bedabbled gunners, a rather quaint looking officer, with an old slouched hat "cocked o'er his eye askew," halt ed with his staff and quietly took in situation. ')' I- Then, turning to one of the cavalry officers in command of the troop on the roadside, he directed hint, to order some of his men to dismount and help the gun out of its unfortunate position. The response of the mounted men to the order was very slow indeed; but they recognized Stonewall a the officer wno nao come to the rescue of th gun and knew there wa no help for it. The struggle was apparently vain. and at length a thoroughly disgusted cavalryman, with a halt in his speech and covered with mud turned with a reproachful look to his beloved- general and said: "G-g-gen-General. 1-1-let's take u-u up a i col-leo-tion f-f-for , the d-damn g-g-gun p-pay for it, and 1-1-leave it!" The "blue light Elder' did not pay much attention to the sugges tion of his profane follower, further than to give a few quiet orders to his subordinate officers, and the gun was soon lumbering along, and was at Port itepubuc the next day in time for its gunner to say I That's Banks-obe's fond of shell: Lord save his soul, we'll give him" wen. That's "BtonewaU Jackson's wit." I.vel Arraag.as.at -f AsaaMi at. At St. UaU. in planning lor the lighter amuse ment feature at the coming World Fair the original idea has been brought forward by the director of concession, Mr. Norn B. Gregg, to arrange them in the order of a trip around the world. lne visitor who make Mr. Gregg's trip is promised an experience as near ly like an actual journey as can be de vised. From stepping on board ocean liner to "Home Sweet Home," from a band Land on Art Hill, it is said, he will have mingled with the people of many countries,! seen their native industries, partaken of their food and enjoyed their entertainment. . In brief, Mr. Gregg' scheme win supple ment tne exhibit that go to make np aa universal ezpumuoa sou ine areni lecture of all nations as exemplified in the foreign buildings. Among the features of this tour of the world Mr. Gregg ha already taken into consideration the advisability of the coupon ticket, by which at round trip rates the visitor can take this journey, enjoying every ' part of it Under this coupon-ticket arrangement part of the trip can be made in a day ana and other pans left for other days.
