The seed were sown by the flood last year. The fruit crop promises to be a very abundant one this year, especially peaches, pears and cherries, Apple trees have not bloomed .very profusely and are the least promising of all fruit trees.

The letter is refreshing and significant it: We quote from "The club is composed of the leading business and professional men of the city, and what we want is the race problem from the standpoint of a broadminded aud fairmiuded Southerner. VVe want to know why so many Southern States have deemed it necessary to disfranchise the blacks. VVe do not want you to trim your message to suit this section. VVe want the facts as a man sees them at close range." No man understands the race problem better than Major Bin? ham. and he always goes to the bottom of any subject on which he r-peaks. The Newark Wednesday Clnb will get the naked truth from Maj Bingham Thev show that they want it without mixture by the selection of Major Bingham, who is one of the clearest thinkers aud most original speakers in the South WON'T FOLLOW ADVICE AFTER PAYING FOR IT.

But there are thousands in the State who are qualified educationally and I am told that these, as a rule, have for tified themselves pretty largely with a poll-tax receipt."' Aud now "they say'' there is to be a cotton warehouse combination or "trust" in the South, to follow the proposition to combine the ma- jority of the Southern yarn mills; that a Cincinnati exporting and storage company is at the back of the effort (for it is surely uo more than efforr, so far at least), and that the mam object is to secure leases on as manv of tbe cotton warehouses of the South as possi ble. Then the manipulators would hold a big portion of tbe cotton crop and ship it to Europe or ''sell it in the South' only when it could be best done to their fiuaucial ad vantage. From what I can learn, however, the scheme is likely to fail, unless tbe Southern cotton mills are taken into consideration Uar textile manulaclurers are hardly foolish enoughjto lease their warehouses, or permit those in their immediate vicinity to be leased, exclusively to a combine which has as one of its objects the bleeding of the mills themselves. If the plan succeeds it seems that " w' ue done only with tne con sent ot the Southern mill owners aud after the Iatter's interests have been fully protected by an agree ment. Senators Pritchard aud Sim mons indulged in a "somewhat tepid" debate in the TJ. S. Senate i - - r- - - - ast Friday. Senator Pritchard developed a "sand cure'' case in .North (Jarolina, and this draws t lift ft rf nf Senator Rimmons. who defended the "Red Shirts." Sen ator Pritchard alluded to the big majority of Mr. Bryan in 1900 iu tbe black eastern counties and de clared that if the negroes did not vote the Dem.-Pop. ticket that year they were cheated out of their votes. The Hep. Senator added that he "stood for and represented tbe Democratic business interests of North Carolina as well as beiug tbe Republican Senutor from this State.'' Mr. Simmons gives notice that he will reply at length to Mr. Pritchard later. Tbe "thinning out" of negro postmasters in east em towns hv the courts was al luded to by Senator Simmons, who also credited Senator Pritchard with causing the removal of many of these objectionable postmasters during the past few years, and the replacing of them with reputable white appointees The farmers of this (Wake coun ty) and some of the couuties east of heie are complaining seriously of the scarcity of farm labor.

LLEWXAM. DEFRAUDED OF MILLIONS. How Accident Insurance Companies Have Been "Worked by Fakirs New York Dispatch, April 27. Having been defrauded of mil lions of dollars, accident insurance companies instituted a searching investigation, which has resulted in the arrest of a man who is said to be the head of a band of con spirators. In the scheme, it is al leged, there are 40 men, besides 5 physicians, who are supposed to be reputable. More arrests expected this week, aud it is understood some of the doctors will be taken iuto custody. It is charged that their opera tions have extended all over the country and that the companies have paid out as high as 4,000,- 000 since 1900 as a result of the total amount paid by the compa nies to liquidate claims. George J. Poll, sometimes kuowu as Jacob Poll, of 20j East Seventy second street, has been arrested by Detective Sergeant Cuff on a bench warrant, having beeu in dicted by the giand jury ou two counts, one charging him with grand larceny, the other with fraud. The specific accusation is the larceny of $330, obtained for what is known in insurance circles as a "fake'' accideut, It was said by one of the offi cials of the insurance companies that Poll himself recently got $100 a week for seven weeks Irom two companies, alleging that' he had been injured iu a street car acci dent. The usual course is lor the man in whose name the insurance poli cy is made out to board a car with two or more of his confeder ates, lie manages to be thrown from the car, gets op aud limps, as if in pain, aud then, with the other., goes to one of tbe physic iaus who is in the plot. There his leg, or arm, or side is so uianlpu lated that it alight appear he is badly bruised or that a tendon or bone is broken. The limb is then encased in a plaster cast, notice is sent to the iuauratice company, the conleder ates give their names as wituesses ot the alleged accident and the physician sends in a certificate telling of the miuries. W hen the doctors of the insurance company reach the man's home they find the plaster cast, and, as it is im possible for them to make an ex amiuatian they have to take the other phsiciau's word ad the weekly payments are made by the company This signature is on every box of the genuine Laxative BromoQuimne Tablets the reae that cares a cold in one day NORTH CAROLINA, ) In Superior Bukke County.
