It is claimed for tbn woodar of be twentieth century that it will b a boon of mettimable value to farours, city folks, manufacturer gei.erally, oil prodocera, railroadi, t rpsroriHi, miuert, in fact to every ohm pi caged iu lifting aud du- tti' utn g water and perhapa great xt if all to the cultivators of lat.d and raisers of atock in the and regions, at through ita use water may be drawn aod distribut ed at will either by clockwork, nlrctricity or hand power. The invention ia known aa the Dis imrnp It ia compact abootfonr feet high by probably three feet ia circumforeuc6 but ita a n of apparently no indication of ita greatness from the viewpoint of giuieral utility. The pumpe ia to be manufactured iu threo itaudard 'vle. No 1 will be arranged o that it mav be readily wound iu two or three minutes to run six or eight hours. Thia pomp may be at tached to the windmill devicet now ao generally used, thutobviat ini tho tiPCHRsity of waiting for wiud in order to secure for lifting water. It it detigned alao for special use in dry regoius for irri gating lauds, thus obviating ii e of crops and cattle by drought. No 2 will bu electrical id cbarao t r. so icjnipped that it may be attached to au electric current. It will have a capacity of pump ioR 20 gallons a minute and by wire a series of pumps between Washington and Philadelphia, for mstaoce, all the pumping stations along the route may be operated through a motor stationed at one end of the line thus making a sav ing, it is claimed, of upwards of 80 per cent, in the present lifting power now employed. The No. 2 pump is also to be constructed especially heavy, so aa to be util ized for similar service iu operat ing oil wells, mines, plants, brew eries and all establishments re quiring heavy pumping power. No 3 will bea hand pump operat ed by the swinging of a pendulum so finely adjusted, or balanced, that it mar readily be worked by a small child. A cord may be attached to the pedulutn ao as to work it from tho house, or any given point, and by tho means of a pipe line water may thus be con veyed wherever desired. A most attractive feature of the D-ms invention ia claimed to be the easy purchase price at which the pumps may be obtaiued. When Congressman Littlefield, last year, had printed iu the Con gressional Record bis list of 800 trusts, with nearly $14,000,000,000 of capital, the aountry waa star tled at the exhibit. Now comes Mr. John Moody a Wall Street publisher, with a new book entit led "The Truth About the i rusts, which Rives eveu higher figures. Mr. Moody gives a classified list of the leading trusts' rn the United States. He gives 1518 important industrial trusts, controlling 5.288 plants, having a total capitaliza tion outstanding $7,240 842,583 Hir enumerates 111 important franchise trusts (telegraph, tele phone, gas, electric lightaud street ra'lwavccnsolidation'J.'controlipg 1,836 plauts, and having a totM outstanding capitalization of $3, 785 450 075. lie diacasses the six great steam railroad groups with a total capitalization of $9,017,080. 907, and the ten allied independ ent railroad system having a capitalization of $380,277,000; The great total of the capitali zation of all the trusts considered iu thia book,, industrial, franchise aud transportation; is $20 379.162, 511. .

It is of great importaucti that nearly all of tbeae trusts, with ovtr $20,000 000,000 of ct pita I 'i it ion, are 1 1 leg al ormbinatioua and would proba blybeao declared, if they were brought to the bar of juatics.

President Rocaevelt told the fol lowing story to a party of friend whoat were luncheon with bim a few days ago, after the conversation had turned on the campaigu W R Hxarst is making for the Democratic nomination for Pres dent, says the Baltimore News. "Incoau used to tell thisttory," the President said: "It is about a man who had a fine trotting stallion, and applies to the present political situation. The stallion could go around the track in 2 40 and bad beaten everything iu sight. "Itrowner brought the stallion up iu front of the grandstand aud was surrounded by admiring friends. Iu a few minutes a farm er came along who aaid. 'You think that a party flue affair, don't ye?' "Yes.' aaid the man the man who owned the stallion ; I do. "Wal, I'll bet ye $100 I've got a Durham bull that can out-trot your hoss in a mile race." "The upshot of it was that the match was made, after much bantering from the friends of the stallion, aud a $20 forfeit was put up. "When the time came tor the race ibe man who owned tb stal lion refused to race. 'Why?' ask ed some friends. "Well,' said the man, 'there will be no glory in beating a Dur ham bull, and think of my posi tion if the Durham hall beat me?" Mr. Mocdv's book, the Wall Street Journal of Marcn 17b makea the following very signi ficant statement: "It should not be overlooked that the trust wealth iathe most important, iu that it largely con trols all the other wealth.

The bright spring days have got a move on our farmera; planting corn seems to be the order of the day ; cotteu planting and setting out tobacco plants Cornea next, but we hope the farmera will not take on ao much crop that they can't spare a little time to culti vate the Alliance as well as the farm. Brethren, let's look out for this and be at the Alliance each meeting. Do not oome to the con clusion that you are too busy and tUlre ia special business for you to attend to. Remember, you have a place, to fill and that no one can til) that place like yourself. It, is highly important (bat each cfBcer be present every meeting, acid it is of as much importance for each member as it is for the officers, so let us be there each time and fill our place as best we can. Do not think that simply the paying of dues is all we have to do in the Alliance. The Alli ance is like everything else we have to do with it is juat what we make it and we cannot make it of muoh interest and stay at home at our regular meetings. J.'W. Lowe Nisi from Shanghai, Monday tay : A letttr received here from Kobe, Japan, lays the Japanese government bat 200 000 troops iu motion and folly 00,000 more on der arm i in garrieoua aud at the depots. Tbes Humbert are f iclo tive of the third reserves, number ing 120 000, which have not been lo the col r. The exact number of troops which have Uft Japan for their varioue deitiuationa are not known t ut the entire first army hat bweu lauded and hat established ittelf in northwestern Corea, with ita maiu bate at Cbiuamopo. The Japanese general ttaff atill carefully guardt the plan of cam paigu, but it lis generally believed that it will operate tbreearmies. each uomiually numbering 100,000 men the second army landing weat ol the Yalu river, and the thud army east of New Chwaog The land ing of the latter two armies will be easily accomplished, for the light cruuer tqaadrona cau pro tect both movements. It it thought that tbe lauding of a heavy J i panes' force west of the mouth of tbe Yalu will force the Kotiiana to abandon tbe fortifi cation which they have been erect- ingnorth of tbe i alu for tbe purpose of ooDOSing tbe cross of the first armyof Japan from Corea. It ia al anticipated that the three great Japanese armie will operate in conjunction, tbe third army swing ing -.an ward from New Chwang, aeiciug or cutting the railroad, and then engaging with a turning move ment against tbe maiu Russian position. A Port Arthur dispatch to the fova Krai describing the acene on board the Bayan during the last bombardment, says: "bursting shells bowled over man after man till tbe deck were slippery with blood. The cockpit was soon crowded. Tbirty-uiue wounded men were brought in be for tbe fight was ended. Amid tbe crash of guns, tbe hiss of projectiles, the thunder of their explosion and the smashing of splinters, the surgeons worked quietly among tbe wounded on the operating table. When the battle ended and the enemy began to re tire the officers cheered the st&kers, even the wounded taking up tbe cheer. The captain signalled for full speed ahead in pursuit of the fleeing Japanese, but had not gone far when the flagship signalled the Bayan to return.

I be lieve, that tbe entire coinage of tbe Confederate States consisted of fcur half-dollar pieces, say a writer in the New York Press. Where are they I What are they worth numismatically ? The ob verse side had a goddess of liberty (same a United States coins) in an aro of thirteen stars, in ner right band a shield on convention al design with "Liberty" thereou, and below the date 1801. Ou the reverse side was au American shield beneath a liberty cap, the union containing seven stars re presenting the seven scolding States the whole surrounded by wreath ; at the left cotton iu bloom, at the right sugar cane. The legend waa "Confederate States of America." Id the ex ergue, "Half DjI." The borders were milled and the edge was serrated Horseradish. The bett way to grow horserad ih is from th little ro its, four or five inches iu length, and not from the crowns. These small roots ill produce good radish fit for use iu one season growth, rlaat the aet small end down, where, the slanting cut ia, aud ,so that the cut will be two inches under the soil. It can remain iu tbe ground until late in th autumn, and be pitted, or a portion can re maiu in tho grouud uutil spring A dZ'n roots will give all that will be needed for family use in a lifetime, for it constantly inoreates, and the danger ia that it will spread too fail and become troublesome. It is beat, therefore, to plant it in lomeornerof tbe garden where it cau grow without injuring any thing. - Occupations for Trampi A new occupation ia openiog for tramp in Ejgland. They sta tion themselves near a polica trap aod warn approaching motorists of danger, and, a a result, are re warded with donation of small piece of money. bringing from $8 50 to $3 75 baaket on Northern markets. Tbe Wadesboro Cotton Mill, at Wadesboro, was last Saturday placed in tbe bands of a receiver, Mr. W. C. Henderson the presi dent, being appointed receiver The liabilities are lea than $50, 000, while the aaset will amount to $150,000; the principal creditor i tbe rrst .National JJanx ol Wadesboro. Twenty-five hundred cords of cord wood belonging to Mr. S. J. Durham and Dr. D. A. Garrison, of Bessemer City, aud valued at something over $8,000, was burned a few days ago. Tbe wood had been cut and stacked in a patob of woodland a mile south of Bessemer and caught from a fire which orig inated accidentally in the woods Tbe lad. Fred Glosson, who committed aome petty thefts about two weeks ago, and was re leased on bond, we learn, tried .to commit suicide Sunday. The first attempt was to cut hi throat aud was prevented by a member of the family, and a little later tried to hang himself. Iu the latter tried attempt he would have been suc cessful but for the timely appear anoe of a sister. The Tarboro Southerner, speak ins for its section, says: "Tbe Southerner baa made many in quiries concerning the backward ness of agricultural operations. About one woek is tbe general opinion, though there are several who say that they are ut behind. But all pay they will plant when planting time cornea, if the weath er permits. Tbe backwardness will then be shown by the decrease in acreage from from first inten tions." ' Th Sort of flen Who Succeed. This young man Biskerviile, of State University, must be a real wouder in the field ofchemiaT?, says the Greensboro Telegram. Without knowing anything con clusive about the merit of his achievemout one can guey that hd is a remarkable man from tbe fact that in a single newspaper ttemwefiud that he is to deliver lecturps before Cdumbia Univer sity and tbe Cosmos Club of of Washington D. C . and the Chemists' Club of New York City Dr. Baskerville appears to hav foand a line of work that he en joys aud to be following it w tb zestv and pertevorance. i nat is the sort of man who succeeds to this time.
