Yesterday we produced from the Charleston News and Courier its re - port on the grasses and forage crops grown on the little government farm . at the Exposition, a most valuable report to the farmers of this section. We herewith give its report of some of the grains grown which want of space prevented us from producing yesterday. Atter speaking of hemp from France, planted March 28th, and jute from India planted April 16; the former of which had attained a height of 3i feet the latter 2$, it says: There are twenty-three varieties of wheat on the grounds. Five of the best are taken for examples. Varaovardeux, from Germany; bearded. Planted in December, was ready to harvest May 15. Avery fair head. Will make about 35 bushels to acre. Talley wheat, from California ; bearded. Has three trains to the mesh. The ear is fully 41 inches lone. The grains are full and fat. Would make about 80 bushels to the acre. Was readv to harvest about the first week in May. "It Is a splendid wheat for this section; there is no better wheat for a farmer to plant." Puroleton stem wheat: beardless. Was planted the first week in Decern ber. Was ready to harvest in five months from day of plantine. Little Club wheat. So called from the plump, stocky appearance of its heads. Extra early. Planted nrstweec in December. Was ready to harvest in four months and ten days after plant ing. Matured two weeks earner tnan any other variety on the grounds. It should be planted early in October on hieh and dry land and would be ready to harvest the last week in Apri 1. Does not require much rain . Bust-proof wheat from Austria. Planted December 26. Was ready to harvest May 15. "It is a splendid wheat, makes a fine yield, and is adapted to any wheat land, either high land or lowland. Commenting on this the News and Courier, which is enthusiastic, and deservedly so, over the results attained on this little experimental farm, says: CoL H. E. Dorch, the commissioner for Oregon, represents a great wheat growing: State, and is familiar with the crop in all the great wheat rf gion of the West. He expressed himself yesterday as profoundly Impressed by the exhibit here as showing the capa bilities of this 8tate and section for growing the same crop, and laid great stress on the "important advantage" they have because of the early matur ing or tne crop in tins region, which insures the grain against the injurious effects of "hot winds" in the early Summer months, when it is in the tests on the Exposition grounds had proved that wheat can be harvested here two or three weeks earlier than in Arizona and California, in the same latitude, and two months earlier than in Oregon. And this advantage is an important one, when it is considered that the first wheat in the market com mands the best prices. He could see no reason why this section should not compete, on favorable terms, with the "great wheat States" in growing their special crop for profit The cereal department of the exhibit has taught this important lesson to our farmers and visitors alike, and it may well be worth to the State every year many times the whole cost of the Ex position on this account alone. It is scarcely less valuable for the lessons it affords regarding the numerous other crops growing alongside the wheat in like profusion and excellence. It is too valuable an exhibit, certainly, to be lost or thrown away, as we cannot readily replace it It has cost the United States Government a large sum of money to organize and establish it for us, under the most scientific and skilled direction available in the coun try. We could not re-establish it ex cept by the same means. Having it we should keep it We are informed that thirty different kinds of grasses that were tried on the grounds fail ed because they could not , with stand the winter's cold. Those now growing there have stood that test and are of special interest for that reason. The next important test is to find which of the fifty surviving and now flourishing varieties will stand the summer's heat and droughts. Half the value of the exhibit will be lost if this is not made if the exhibit is aban doned or not properly cared for. It should be preserved and kept in order, and extended and developed at any cost It . is, we believe, the most im portant and most valuable industrial exhibit of the Exposition. It has lost no part of its neat x value because of the closing of the Exposition. It should be preserved at all costs. 1 There is no reason why the varied crops that are growing so grandly on the exhibit should not be grown on every available acre in this region, in a few years. And it would pay Charles ton handsomely if they were grown only on every available acre through out Charleston county: The News and Courier is right in its estimate of the value of Buchan exhibit - to the farmers and to the State of South Carolina, and right again in urging that the work be followed nn to nmn1flf.A tha t.nal of the Summer value of some of the plants that had demonstrated - their hardihood to withstand Winter's cold, to find which can not only stand cold but also heat and drought. Grasses that can resist heat and dry ness of soil are of more value, to this section than those which could i Btand Winter's cold and might stto- : cumb to too much sunshine and too little rain. There are some grasses I that have been successfully grown do both, some which are proof against both cold and heat, but they are not appreciated as they should I be, but are rather looked upon" by fanners f as nuisances because they rndst in living in spite of the de termined efforts to kill them. We have long been an advocate of experimental farms and believe that every farmer should have one of his own, for there is no depart ment, of human industries where experiment is mote'aeedectJ? more practicable ; at little expense,: or -: where ; it will pay better.' The re sults attained, on one acre are proof of what could be done on millions of acres nnder similar conditions, and the addition made to the value of a one acre crop would apply to every acre of the millions cultivated nnder the same conditions, which would mean an immense increase in the income from those acres, not for one year only but for all years. That's where the value of experi menting on the farm comes in, and therefore we believe it wonld be business sense of the first order for every State, and every county, and every township, when practicable, to have an experimental farm, conducted by competent persons and in a thorough business-like way. We have some experiment stations which are doing good work as far as they go but there are not enough of them and they have not the means at their command to ' do as much as they could do if more liberally supported. They would cost money, of course they would, but they would if well managed be worth inestimably more than they would cost. There is one in Minne sota which by its success in hybrid- ging and producing superior kinds of wheat, has added millions of dollars annually to the value of the wheat crops of the West. It is still pursuing its good work on that line. The report which we copy 'above speaks of some kinds of wheat which will .yield 30 and 35 bushels to the acre. That has been done in numer ous instances in this State, some of it on reclaimed land, too, land that had been pronounced "worn out" and dead, too poor to grow anything of value. We have seen 35 bushels produced to the acre and have heard on reliable authority of 50 on small tracts. The Holt farm in Alamance county has produced 40 bushels to the acre on a 100 acre field. That beats California, famed for its wheat and its yields. And yet there are people in this section who have an idea that we can't grow grasses, grains, etc., as well as other States, simply because we have never given either the at tention they should have or fully tested the capabilities of our soil. But we are learning, and are helped very much by such object les sons as the Government farm at the Charleston Exposition gave. " BEC0MHTG SERIOUS. Chicago dispatches say that the teamsters' strike in that city is be coming serious. Judging irom tne reports of the rioting, the shooting, clubbing, men hurt and killed, and the chaos that reigns, it looks very much that way to a person at a dis tance. The exhausted police are un able to cope with the numerous and daily reinforced rioters, who seem to have matters pretty much in their own hands. And this is all the result of a dis agreement as to -a matter of wages between the teamsters employed by the packing companies, and the packers, who refused to agree to the demands of the teamsters and under took to supply their places with new men and to continue busi ness as usual. This led to the rioting, the striking teamsters attacking the men who took their places. This called for police inter vention to guard and protect the drivers, a job to which the force has not proved equal, because the strikers and their sympathizers and accomplices are ten to one, and raise Cain simultaneously in differ ent localities. All this might have been averted by a little cool-headed, common sense management, and a little mu tual concession, but the packers got mad, refused to yield anything, de fied the strikers-, and then the strikers got mad, defied the packers and the police and the racket began, which (not to speak of the people killed and wounded,) will cost ines timably more than a conciliatory agreement would have cost. As is usually the case, whatever the merits'of the dispute in the be ginning, bothides have put them selves in the wrong; the packers by their obstinate refusal to listen to the strikers, and their efforts to run their wagons nnder guard when they knew they .would' be attacked, and the strikers by; assaulting the hired teamsters and preventing the delivery "of meat to customers in and outside of the v city. ; They donbtless decided that this was nec essary to the success of the strike, and perhaps it was, but this does not justify it. They had no right to defy the law, the officers of the law, to punish the public and resort to violence to carry out their pur pose. ' . Now there is talk of the calling in of State troops and of arbitration, the latter of which should have been done at first and thus prevented dis order and the necessity of resorting to force to preserve the peace.-The public should not be at the mercy of haughty and stubborn employers and. of stubborn, law-defying . em ployes. ' It has rights that ' both ought to consider and be compelled to respect. ' Some Englishmen express the opinion that in the peace deal with the Boers, Britain got the peace and the Boers the honor. And both got the experience.-. . Jor Snooping Gough SMS ot mm try narain ptaoe Pharmacy GETTING THE . HXGB0ZS INTO TROUBLE. In nearly every strike that occurs now in the North, in lines of busi ness where negro labor can be em ployed, negroes are imported from the South to take the place of tne strikers, and when that is done it almost invariably results in assaults by the white strikers and battered anatomies for the negroes. We do not remember a single instance out of the many where the attempt has been made- which did not result in violence, and where the working of the negroes did not prove a failure and had to be abandoned, after some of the negroes had been killed and others injured. These negroes are imported when the importers know, or ought to know, it will provoke violence, by which the negroes" will be the prin cipal sufferers, and they know, too, that such importations are in oppo sition to public sentiment, whether that be with the strikers or not, for public sentiment noes not like to see white labor supplanted by the cheap er and degraded black labor, which is not welcome at any time nor un der any circumstances. This senti ment was so strong several years ago that when during a strike in the Illinois coal mines the operators im ported gangs of negroes from Ken tucky and Missouri to take the places of the strikers, they were met at the depots and attacked before they got off the trains, and the then Governor, Tanner, a Republican, publicly declared that if the companies persisted in bringing in negroes he would plant cannon on the State line and fire on the trains carrying negroes which crossed it. The attempt had to be abandoned and hundreds of the negroes, deserted by .the men who brought them in, had to find their way back and live on the charity of the country through which they tramped. The latest was the attempt to put negroes from Missouri in the places of the striking teamsters at Chi cago, which resulted as usual in an attack on them, the fatal wounding of some and the serious wounding of others. Of course that win have to be abandoned. When knowing the consequences that invariably follow, these importations are unjustifiable cruelty, and a provocation to vio lence and murder for which the im porters are morally responsible and guilty. When a Zuni Indian lover wants to propose to his girl he doesn't have to puzzle his wits making a speech appropriate to the occasion, bnt just walks in, sits down with his back to his sweety, and divests him self of his head gear. If the girl doesn't want him she sneaks ont, bnt if she does she runs her fingers through his hair, and gives him a sort of dry shampoo, as it were. This has its advantages: it relieves the girl from the necessity ot seem ing sorry and from promising to be a sister to him, and the fellow from thinking about all the fool things he said and wanting to kick himself for being kicked.

Kinston Free Press: Some thing that in all probability never happened before in Kinston took place this morning, being a duel to the death between an alligator and a dog, and the alligator is now a dead member. Master Jasper Harper recently became the owner of an alligator that was brought to Kinston about 15 months ago by Mr. Lovit Hines from Florida and owned by Mr. J. T. Skinner until he gave it to Master Harper. The latter took the alligator out of its pool of water this morning to al low it to play in the back Jrard. He walked away, but hear ng a noise turned and saw the alli gator and "Duke" a bull dog owned by H. D. Harper, Jr., engaged in a fight. The alligator made a grab for "Duke," and narrowly missed getting a hold on the latter' nose. The aligator then made several swings with his tail, but the dog was too quick and got out of the way and watching his chance, made a sudden grab, getting the alligator back of his neck. He shook the alli gator several times, turned loose, jumped back, and, resting a few sec onds, made another grab on the neck. snaking the alligator again and finally tare wit into the air. When the alli gator landed it was dead. Fayetteville Observer: We are authorised to state that the Union Bleaching and Finishing Company, of New York, a company recently orga nized with a large capital, have decid ed to at once erect a large bleachery and finishing plant on the banks of Cross Creek in this city. The plant will be a ten-ton one, which means a bleaching and . finishing capacity of 100.000 yards per day; and besides the bleaching and finishing of goods for cotton mills, will manufacture sheets and pillow cases. The employes, who wiu number about one nundred and fifty, will be obtained from this locali ty, except the more expert who will be brought from the North. When completed, this mill will be the finest of its kind in the South, if not the only one of its kind, and will equal any in the North. It will surely lead to th- establishment of more cotton factories in this vicinity. Deputy Sheriff John McD.

The Mohammedan Husband Ma Break His at Will. The Koran says the husband may. divorce his wife without assigning any reason or . giving any nonce. He may rebuke, imprison and scourge ner.. He may twice divorce and twice take back the same wom an, but if he a third time divorce her she cannot again become his wife until she has married and been divorced from some other man. fSura. II. 230.V Yet Djrahim Halebi says: "In the absence of serious reasons no Musselman can justify divorce in the eyes of either religion or the law. If he abandon his wife, or put her away from simple caprice, he draws down upon himself the divine anger, for the curse of God,' said the prophet, 'rests upon him who re- fudiates his wife capriciously.' " 'radically, however, a Mohamme dan may whenever he pleases, with out assigning any reason, say to his wife, "Thou art divorced," and she must then return to her parents. (Amir' Ali, Personal Law of Mo hammedans, 332; Lane, Modern Egyptians, I, 150, 247.) Among most of the Mohammedan .peoples divorces are very-frequent. According -to Dr. Van der Berg, an even more fatal influence is exer cised on family life in the east by this laxity of the marriage tie than by polygamy. In Cairo, according to Lane, there are not many men who have not divorced one wife if they have been married for a long time, and many men in Egypt have in the course of two years married as many as twenty, thirty or more wives, while there are women ad- vanced in age who have been wives to a dozen Or more men successively. In Morocco a man repudiates his wife on ' the slightest provocation and marries again. Among1 the Moors of the Sahara it is considered "low" for a couple to live very long together. (Westermarch, 619, 520.) On the other hand, in India, among the Mohammedans, divorce is seldom heard of. Green Bag. A Carlsbad Cure. The consulting room of a Carls bad physician seems about the last place inthe world for humorous in cidents. Yet this is what happened in one of these haunts of the sick the other day. A new patient, after having been thoroughly cross-examined by the doctor, had received minute instructions" as to diet, etc., and was dismissed with this injunc tion, "As for smoking, you must limit yourself to three cigars daily; three light cigars and no more." After a few days the patient appears again in the consulting room. "Well, and how are you?" asks the physician. "I should be all right," replies the patient, "but your orders about smoking are difficult to follow." - "I am sorry," the doctor says categorically, "but no more than three cigars a day. You must just put up with it," "But, doctor, it really is bji awful business. Wouldn't two a day do ? I feel ill every time I smoke." ''Why, man, what in the world do you smoke for at all if that is the case?" the doctor roared. r "But, doctor, wasn't it you your self -who said 'three cigars a day and no more V'--' Of course I thought they were part of the cure and be gan upon them, though I've never in my life taken to smoking."

Becomes Ignited. .1 ' c QuickC intelligent work is impera tive when a" person's clothing be-; comes ignited. Your first - move should be to get the person at length upon the floor. ..The easiest and safest way to accomplish this is by tripping. Then roll him over and over.- This alone will go a long way' toward smothering the flames, but at the sametime lay hold of a rug, - coat or anything thick with; which the operation. can be more speedily ; and effectually completed. A pailful of water will answer the purpose perhaps, but do not take even ten seconds to obtain it. It is of vital importance that you make use of the nearest means. Strive to keep the flames away from the upper half of the body, for that is the 'most vulnerable portion of the human anatomy. Should your own clothing catch fire it will require all of your cour age and training to enable you to act rationally. The natural and al most overpowering impulse is to run. Don't; it only-makes a bad matter rapidly worse. Lie down at once and roll yourself "up in any thing which will assist in smother ing the flames. Fire has a strong upward tendency, and it will soon envelop your whole body if you re main on your feet. The danger of your inhaling the flames is also greatly increased and internal burns are pretty, uniformly fatal. So far I have used the masculine pronoun, but all of my directions apply with even more force to the women. It is a sad fact that three fourths of those who suffer from burns belong to the fair sex. This is attributable, in a large measure, to the inflammable nature of their dress. Good Housekeeping. Cocoa, Cacao and Coca. "Speaking of confusion in tbie use of words," said a visitor to the city, from Nicaragua, "I read a story some time ago which was credited to a physician, and I was impressed with the belief that he was either misquoted or that he had got slight ly mixed in his botany. He was talking about coca, cocaine, coco cola and things of that sort, and he attempted to straighten out some of the popular errors, but instead of doing so he made matters worse. ' "Now, I am engaged in the busi ness of a cacao planter near San Carlos, and I believe I ought to know something about the business. Cacao is one thing, cocoa is another and coca is still another. Cocoa is the ordinary cocoanut. Cocoa is not made from the seed of the chocolate tree, but chocolate is made from the seed of the cacao, the broma cacao. It is a rather cu rious fact that this word cacao is invariably spelled incorrectly in nearly all advertisements.- Any good botanical dictionary will show you the difference between cocoa, the cocoanut palm; cacao, the broma cacao, and coca, the cocaine shrub. Yet these words are com monly confused and misspelled in newspapers and other advertising mediums, and the members of the medical profession, it seems, are noi exempt from the same . mistakes. They are separate things, with sepa rate properties, and have separate uses." New Orleans Times-Democrat. WHOLESALE PRICES CURBEIT.

COTTON MARKETS. BylTelezraDh to the uornlns Btar New York, June 5. The cotton market opened firm and three to six points higher, and during the .first hour held very steady on . fairly active demand from short European interests and the South, promoted by firmer Liverpool cables than due, reports of .damage to the crop in the central belt Dy locusts ana nee, ana claims mat rain was needed in parts of Texas. But as active public support did not come forward, the room longs quietly sold for profits, leav ing the market without concerted support from any quarter. Liverpool closed steady at about the top, a net advance of one to two points and report ed large spot salea (12,000bales) at full former prices. Port and interior re ceipts were small; advices from South ern spot markets indicated a moderate demand from domestic spinners, and further inquiry from exporters for prompt shipment cotton. By midday the opening- rise had been lost and near positions were a pojnt or two under the final bids of last night. For the balance of the session the market followed a very narrow rut with speculative enthusiasm at a low ebb. The close was quiet with prices net seven points lower to three points Higher, the near months show ing a relatively easier position in the absence of business. The weather chart indicated little or no rain in the belt but "the forecast pointed to showers over the eastern and western sections to-morrow. - New Yobkv June 5.
