Cotton not yet ginned is included in the total estimate, and is placed y ginners and delinters as 129172 bales.

V.'hen the crop west of the river is heavy, linters show a great Increase, ?nd the diminished crop in the east has very little effect on linters.

If currency, Philippine in dependence, Alaskan affairs, woman suffrage or other pressing questions are finally forced upon the attention of congress, it will be only after the Democratic leaders of the two houses and the president are convinced that the success of tariff revision la as sured. - House leaders will be ready to go ahead with tariff revision as soon as the session convenes. 114 Varrants Issued.

Affidavits were sworn out charging the father and three sons with being fugitives from justice and the two daughters with being material witnessese. On the wv to the central police station an incident occurred which caused some excitement. The elder Musica attempted to secure from Phil ip a revolver which the son had in his pocket.

JORDAN OF GREECE KILLED it'J KING GEORGE WAS WALKING IN STREETS OF SALONIKI WHEN HE WAS SHOT. Crown Prince Constantine Has Been Proclaimed King of Greece. Saloniki. King George of Greece was assassinated while walking in the streets of Saloniki. The assassin was a Greek of low mental type, who gave his name as Aleke Schinas. He shot the king through the heart. The king was accompanied only by an aide-de-camp. Lieutenant Colonel Francoudis. The assassin came sud denly at the king and fired one shot from a seven-chamber revolver. The tragedy caused intense excitement. Schinas was seized immediately and overpowered. . The wounded king was lifted into a carriage "and taken to the Papafion hospital. He was still breathing when placed in the carriage. Prince Nicholas, the king's third son. and other officers, hurried to the hospital. Ai riving first, Prince Nich olas summoned the officers, and, speaking to them in a voice choked with sobs, said: "It is my deep grief to have to an nounce to you the death of our be loved king, and Invite you to swear fidelity to your new sovereign, King Constantine." The assassin of the king is an evil looking fellow, about forty years of age. On being arrested he refused to explain his motive for the crime. He declared his name was Aleke Schi nas, and in reply to an officer who asked him whether he had no pity for his country, announced that he was against governments. Schinas maintained a perfectly im passable demeanor, which was sug gestive of being irresponsible for his actions. Notwithstanding the rapidity with which the king received attention, he was dead on arrival at the hospital. The king fell into the arms of his aide when shot. Two soldiers ran up on hearing the firing and helped to support him. He was placed in a car riage and efforts were made to stop the bleeding, but he breathed his last on the way to the hospital near by. When Prince Nicholas bade the offi cers swear fealty to Constantine they shouted "Long live the king!" Mourn ing emblems were displayed every where. The Greek governor issued a proc lamation announcing that the oath of fealty to King Ccnstantine had been taken. Six Hurt in Wreck.

Absolutely Puro The only Baking Powder msilo from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar NO ALUM, NO LIME PHOSPHATE LETTER 10 STATE CHEMIST ADVISES USE OF GROUND LIMESTONE ON FARMING LAN D. HARD AT WORK ON MATTER Mr. Kilgore Who is an Expert on Agricultural Chemistry Says That This Lime Can Be Used With Good Results. Raleigh. Dr. B. W. Kilgore, state chemist, is issuing a letter to tbe farmers of the state, calling their at tention to the great concessions in freight rates made by the Southern Railroad to be concurred in by the other railroads of the state, it is said, for shipments of lime for agricultural purposes. The main drawback in the past to the extensive application of agiicultural limes to the soils of the state, he says, has been the high cost to the farmer, due to' high transpor tation charges. Effective now in North Carolina a very greatly reduced rate goes into effect, cutting the freight charges practically ia half. Based on 30 tons to the carload, the new rate is 30 cents a ton for 10 miles, 65 cents for &G miles, 85 cents for 100 miles, $1.15 for 200 miles, with proportional in crease for longer distances. Th Nor folk Southern has announced new rates about the same as the Southern rate, and the other roads are to issue schedules on lime very soon. Doctor Kilgore and the Department of Agriculture have been working on this matter for more than a year, aid ed materially by the president of the Southern Railway, who now takes the initiative in promulgating the reduced rate, it having been shown that there are large numbers of farmers suffi ciently alive to th value of the use cf this ground limestone. The state chemist, who is an expert on agricul taural chemistry, says this lime can be used with good results, in many cases better than the burnt lime. It should be applied at the rate of some think like one-half ton to the car just after the ground has been broken, sc that the lime will be worked into the soil by cultivation. It can be obtained at the mines at from $1 to $2 a ton tn bulk. The black soils of eastern Carolina and soils in other sections of the state rich in vegetable matter are especially improved, it is said, by ap plications of the agricultural lime. Error in Judicial District Act. Raleigh. There is an error in the act prescribing the courts for the 2C judicial districts that would prove very serious but for the fact that r companion act includes a feature tha cures the matter, it is thought. Th act, No. 1512, spcifies the number o' each judicial district and the counties composing it and then specifies thr courts for each of the counties. Th paragraph that should specify thr eighth district, composed of New Han over, Brunswick and Pender Counties is left out, the courts for each of tlu counties being given without reference to what district they constitute. How ever, act No. 900 specifically namer each of the 20 districts and the coun ties constituting each district. Governor Makes Appointment. Raleigh.
