RIGHTEOUS JUDGE, In pronouncing sentence on a negro in Kansas to serve thirty years in the penitentiary, the judge said: "Well, you're guilty of murder all right, but you're a poor, ig norant, no account black man, and I don't want to hang you. You have no friends. You have no one to plead that you were in sane when you killed this man. If I sentence rou to hang you will hang just assureas there's a God in heaven. There will not be a whole lot of women circulating petitions to save your neck. There will not be a lot of fool men writ ing letters to the Governor to save you. No one will send you flowers. You'll just be forgotten until the day set for your hang ing, and thun they'll hang you." This is a sad truth and iwany judges have had similar thoughts if they did not express them. In this case the man was guilty and should have been hung finally in order that justic might have been done- But who will deny that if lie had been another color and had the money and friends he cou Id have stood a lighting chance of wearing his case out in court. There is always hope where there is money a plenty. We think there is a good lesson in what the Kansas judge says. COUNTY CANDIDATES. Our list of announcements of candidates for county offices con tinues to grow. In this issue Mr. M. ;. McKenzie announces himself for treasurer and Mr. D. H- McNeill, of Blue Springs township, for clerk of the court. Besides these, there are Messrs. W. H. Hamphrey, A. Nash and A. E. Floyd for clerk; W. D. Mc CalluiD and Geo. L. Thompson for treasurer; D- W. Bullock, register of deeds; J. A. Barker and E. C. McNeill for sheriff. We hope you all will bo elected- You are good fellows and deserve to win. Of course, every one of you believe you are going to. The way you feel about it is best illus trated by a little story a candi date told me the other day. He said he felt that he would be elected all right but that he was like the two fellows going along and a rabbit crossed the road in front of them. . ''.We are going to have bad luck, Mr. Jones." warned Mr. Smith, "because that rabbit crossed the road in front of us." "You are not superstitious are you, Mr- Smith"? "No, but I would feel better if the rabbit had not crossed in front of us." There are enough of you now to make the expense light, wouldn't it be interesting to get a wagon and band and "stump' the county. That would make it a merry campaign and your audiences would be large Get one of these big picnic- wagons and a colored quartette to sing, pick the banjo, guitar and play the fiddle. We would like to go along and drive. There was very little interest manifested beforehand in the Democratic State Convention held at Greensboro Tuesday, but we are interested in the outcome of the IJepublican Slate ('ovention next Tuesday The light for the control of the State organization will be between Black man and Adams. Black burn's friends want to see him have it because they believe it will help him beat his Demo cratic opponent, K- N. Hackett, for Congress in the Eighth dis trict. Other Republicans want Adams to have it because it will make the party strongerthrough out the State. In other words, they think Marion Butler is the Moses to lead them- What they will do about it Tuesday will be interesting to know. Value ol Land Owned by NeflToea Baltimore Sun. A supplementary report of the census of 1900, just issuedshows that the value of the farms of the United States cultivated by ne groes was $490,911,1234, all but a small fraction of the amount rep resenting farms in the South Buildings were worth $71,902, 000; land, $:!24,242,000; livestock, $,4,9:H),0O0; implements, etc., jUH.b.V.l.OOO. The average value w farm was $(l9; of the build ings, $90; of live stock, $114; of implements, etc-, $25; of land, $134. Over half of all the negro farms are in Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia The number of farms held by negroes was 740,715; the aggre gate acreage, 3,233,920; the av erage acreage per farm being 51.2. From one half to two-thirds of these farms was improved land. Only five States north of Mason and Dixon's line reported over 1,000 farms held by negroes. Of the entire number of negro farms in the United States 517,- 000 were of 50 acres or under, the number having from 20 to 50 acres being 343, 173. An idea of the area held by negro farmers may le gathered from the fact that their acreage of 3H, 233, 920 acres is 59,741 square miles, or about the area of New England. The value of all products of negro farms in 1899 was $255,751,145, of which sum $25,843,443 repre sented products fed to live stock. For labor there was paid $8,789, 792; for fertilizers, $5,614,844. The farm homes of negroes were 758,403, or 41.4 per cent, of all homes of negroes in the United States. About one fourth of all negro farmers owned their farms. "The massing of ne groes, tenant farming and cotton culture," says the report, "ap pear to be correlated facts, the first resulting from the last." As respects the distribution of negroes owning farms, Maryland is credited with 2,202; Delaware, 335; District of Columbia, 5; North Carolina, 17,520; West Vir ginia, 534, and Virginia 26,566, the last mentioned State leading all the Southern States in this regard. Mysterious Disease. Biooklyn lvale A new sickness has appeared recently and is known as Morbus Sabbaticus, or Sunday sickness, and is a disease peculiar to church members. The attack comes on suddenly every Sun day; no symptoms are felt on Saturday night; the patient sleeps well, and eats a hearty breakfast, but about church time the attack comes on and con tinues until the services are over for the morning. Then the pa tient feels easy and eats a good dinner. In the afternoon he feels much better and is able to take a walk, talk about politics and read the Sunday papers; he eats a hearty supper, and about church time he has another attack ahd stays at home. He retires early, sleeps well and wakes up on Monday morning refreshed and able to go to work, and does not have any symptoms of the disease until the following Sun day. Children's Day at White Pond.

Beach $2. 900. 000, M. Washington Dispatoh, 4tb. If present conditions of busi ness and industry in the United States continues to increase as it has during the past 12 months American exDorts in the fiscal year 1907 will probably reach the nhenomenal figure of $2,000,000 000. This country leads the world in the present fiscal period There is almost a certainty that t,h total exDort trade of the United States for the fiscal year which will end next Saturday will reach $1,750,000,000. For the first 11 months of this fiscal period, the exports reached the grand total of $l,618,8s0,517 which was more than $220,000, 000 in excess of the best previ ous record which was established in the fiscal year 1905. Big crops in the United States last fall, in eluding better conditions in the fot.ton fields and markets were largely responsible for the in crease; for the products of agri culture increased in our exports during the 11 months ended May 31, by just about $150,000,000. The exports for the first 11 months of the fiscal period were $1,618,830,517, as against $1,397, 408.180 in the same mopths of the fiscal year ending June 80, 1905- The increase in imports in the month of May was about evenly divided between raw ma terials and manufactured pro ducts. The imports of raw ma terials increased by a smaller marein than in some months earlier in the year, while the increase in luxuries was still smaller. The total imports into the Uni ted States in the first 11 months of the fiscal year were $1,125,- 799,761, as against $1,027,065,826 in the same months of last fiscal period. This year promises to be the banner year in the history of the country. Business of Chicago Packers. The daily capacity of the Un ion Stock Yards in Chicago is 75,000 cattle, 300.000 hogs and 50,000 sheep. Persons employed in and about the yards number 45,000, upon whom are dependent probably a quarter million rela tives. Within the square mile occu pied by the stock yards, are 200 acres of pens, 20 miles of watering thoughs, 'k55 miles of drainage and water pipes and 150 miles of railroad tracks. The stock yards were founded in 1865. With accessories, they represent invested capital of $67,000,000. Chicago literally supplies the world with meats. . The armies of England, Prance. Germany and Russia subsist upon fare prepared here, as do a great part of the population of those countries. The Union Stock Yards re ceived last year 2,613,610 head of cattle, or 1,929,923 more than St. Louis, 1,803,368 more thin Oma ha and 767,396 more than Kansas City. Nearly twice the number of sheep slaughtered in Kansas City, Omaha and St. Louis killed annually in Chicago, while much of the stock sold in other cities finds its destination in Chicago. Since the establishment of the Union Stock 152,000,000 live ani mals have been received, of which 12,370,000 were shipped away alive, leaving a total of 339. 630,000 animals killed and packed in forty years at this chief cen tre of the meat industry. Kidnapping Harvest Hands. ICans a City, Mo., Dispatch 30th. "They kidnap our harvest hands," said J. M. Lewis, editor of the Kinsley, Kan., Graphic, who was in Kansas City today. "We arranged . for 65 harvest hands and the growers in and about Great Bend got all except two of them. 1 "We arranged for 200 more and have asked the Santa Fe Railroad to handle them over the cutoff. In this way the train will not go through Great Bend, making it impossible for the Bar ton county farmers to take them off the train." Interchangeable Mileage. Atlanta Journal. Am a result of persistent. de mandsonthe part of the Trar elers' Protective Association of Georgia and the United Commer cial Travelers', the railway pas senger agents of the southeastern territory, now in conference in Atlanta, have decided upon the adoption pf an interchangeable mileage system to take effect on and after July 15 at a rate of two and a half cents a mile. Under the new arrangement two books, each costing $25 and each covering about 15,000 miles, can be purchased aud transpor tationthus secured to any point in the territory mentioned, at a rate of two and a half cents mile. By these concessions only two mileage books need to be pur chased in the future, as they will cover thirty thousand miles and will be honored on the different roads. Two books will be issued for the reason that a number of roads will be members of one interchangeable mileage and the remaining roads will be members of the second interchangeable mileage book. Messrs. Stephen Carter, of Old Hundred, and Mr. Archie Lumg den fired a few pistol shots at each ohter at Hamlet Monday night as a result of some previous trouble. Both were wounded but neither seriously. $100 Reward. $100.
