about 8 o'clock this morning, killing four

Does-tliQ, Draught do any Good?
Tha effect of a season of long continu- '
ed drought is s improve the fertility" of.
thcTsoil. 'During such a season the water
iu the soil is continually rising to the
surface by capillary attraction and is
i
there evaporated. It is precisely tho re
verse of the leaching process.- Tod much
rain passing down thiough an open soil,
has the effect of leaching out the inorgau
ic'elements and carrying them down be
yond the reach of the roots of the plants.
This of course has the effect of impover- i
ishiug the soil by depriving it of those
elements necessary to tho growth and
maturity of plants. On Ihe other hand
when 3 drought sets in the moisture from
below which hold in solution small por-
tions of potash, soda, magnesia and
phosphoric acid commences to rise, and
as it evaporates from the surface it leaves
behind it in the soil near the surface
those inorganic elements, Just as salt wa-j
ter when evaporated will leave th .salt
bchind. Iu both cases pujyithe pure wa
ter escapes. All matters hold in solution
remain. The effect of drought therefore
is to bring np from the subsoil the ele
ments mentioned and to deposit j them
near the surface for the ue,df plants. It
follows from this that soils are improved
by drought,-provided the amount ofwa
ter necessary to the growth of a crop is
forthcoming.. All of this goes to prove
that the soils of the drought stricken sec
tions arp now in a good condition to re

The Rice Chop in Nortii Carolina.
We learn from oue of the most exteu-
6ive planters on the rjver that the injuries
to the rice crop feared from the effect of
the storm are found .to bo fully us severe
as was at first feared. Rico cutting is
now going on on the rivers aud it is
. therefore easy to ascertain tho extent of
the loss. Much of the rice was blown
clear off the stalks and was scattered on
; the giound, while iu other instances full
heads were prostrated in sucu a manner
that much will be lost in the cut
Our informant, however, thinks tb
per ceut. will cover the loss aud this may
bo evualized'by an increase iu the price
The highest price obtained hero last year
for lowland rice was about $1.40 per
bushel, but it is said that offers of $1.50
have been made already this season; The
disasters to tho crop in South Carolina
will, of course, have no effect on the
market. It is expected that the first
rough rice will reach the market thissea-

hold its support altogether from newspa

to newspapers which can safely bo taken

to themselues to be liberal in support of
''decent and just papers,-', and should not
foster those sensational sheets which deal

curiosity to investigate the wealth of the
country and asked who were the wealth
iest people around Lenoir. He carried a
bundle of papers describing all the phases
of the Thompson murder in Alexander,
and seemed to think that "hanging aud

tors. WHAT HAS HE POSE T
Various surmises gradually took shape
in the neighborhood as to what crime this
wandering vagabond was guilty of. The
most general opinion was that lief was
ono of the gang that killed Miss Thomp
son in Alexander. Whether there is any
foundation for this belief, we are unable
to say, but it is based upon the following:
In dealing with John Adams, ono of the

scare off others thought to be implicated J

on one or two occasions, when he ran

that Jane Howell was carrying food to

If he were found to be hidden in the cave
he would have to be starved, out, as an
inmate of the cave would kill all assail

suspicious conduct of this man render it
probable that he is a fugitive from jus

Crime and its Prevention.
The recent robbing of a train on the
Chicago and Alton Railroad in Missourri
was oue of the most daring and success
ful outrages that was ever perpetrated.
Sixteen men are believed to have been
engaged in it, many of whom have been
captured. We dou't believe in mob law,
but we do believe in speedy justice, aud
we nut more faith iu the cibbet than iu
the penitentiary. It is perfectly sicken
ing to read in the newspapers about mur
derers aud burglars and highway robbers
and rapists being sent to the pcaitentia
rv for two. live and ten veais. I Here is
a " '
a way to stop crime, and it shonld be put
into execution. Let the capital criminal
be tried withiu thirty days after the of
fence, and if condemned, let him be exe
cuted three davs thereafter, bociety is
not bound to allow criminals ample time
to prepare for death. If it is, it ought to
give every murderer at least twenty
years, for he needs it. Society should
take the steps for preventing crime, and
if criminals understand that death cer
tain and immediate awaits every villian
who commits a capital felony, they will
begin to realize that although this a free
country nevertheless it is a country of

There is no doubt of two things in

oenate must be organized before new
members are sworn in ; to organize
includes the election of officers. With
out officers there can be iu fact no or
ganization according Icl long usage
and all parliamentary law. A Presi
dent! or Speaker or Chairman is es
sential to organization. The second
point is, that the Democrats will
doubtless elect one of their party
friends President. Mr. Bayard will
be the choice probably The Demo
crats; can gain nothing by a useless
and absurd parade of so-called politi
cal generosity aiul magnanimity. The
New. York Times is the ablest of Re
publican papers. It takes this view,
and tt is the correct one, and should
silence partisan growlers. It says :
"These three Senators, however,
cannot be sworn in until there is a
President of the Senate to accept the
oath or affirmation required of them
by law. The first business of the
Senate will be to choose a President
and in this the Democrats will have
a clear majority. This done, the new
members will be sworn in open Sen
ate, according to law, the oath being
administered by the President of the
Seuate. The newly elected President
of the Senate may be sworn in by the
Secretary of the Senate or by the
eldest Senator (in continuous service)
men present, lint, although a Vice
President of the United States may be
sworn into office by the Secretary of
the aenate, there is no precedent for
the swearing in of a Senator bv anv
hat officer except the President of the
Senate, and therefore, the election of
officer must precede the entrance
into offico'of new Senators."
