Har rison Loan the State Agricultural De partment Two Fine Herds Here fords and Aberdeenangus. There was shipped from Salisbury to Raleigh last n'ght two herds of the finest cattle in the state, one ibeing a herd of six, two bulls and three cows of the Hereford stock from the farms of B. B. Miller, Esq., at Mt. Ulla, the other being the prize of Aberdeen angus, five in number, a bull and four co as, and belonging to Mr. E. H. Har rison, coming irom his Will Bridge farms. The Hereford bufll weighed 2.000 pounds and one of the cows 1, 500. Both herds were as fine speci mens as can be found anywhere, and no finer cattle was ever seen in Sal s bury, and they attracted much atten tion here. The State used three blooded stock for exhibition purposes and the oth.i is the shorthorn, these coming from another county. The occasion of this exhibition of fine cattle in Raleigh is the short course in farming and the gathering of a hrze number of leading farmers and farm boys of the State thtre this week. At the close of this meeting the stock will be kept a -veek tfeng?r, until after the opening of the agri cultural college. The borrowing by the State of two of the three herds of cattle required from Rowan is a hijh complimnnt to this county as a catle raising community and especially to Messrs, Miller and Harrison, who have long een classed among the thorough bred cattle raisers of North Carolina.

Sheriff Krider and Deputy Archie Nash have arrested a negro who is believed to be a noted criminal, In the person of Will Thomas, alias Will Johnson, the arrest being made in East Spencer, and he is now being held in the Rowan jail awaiting furth er information and inquiry. Thomas, who is a stoutly 'built ne gro of about 30 or 35 years, has been going among the negroes in East Spencer begging money with which to make his way to Goldsboro, as he 8a id. He was taken in charge and questioned, and it wag found that he was fleecing the negroes, as he had something over $18 on h's person when arrested. The officers have been on the watoh of him for several days and whe narrested and ques tioned he stated that he was an escap ed convict from the Kentucky peni tentiary at Frankfort, that he was serving a five year sentence for ma licious cutting, and had served some thing over two years. He told the officers he did not want to go to Goldsboro but "just send me back to Kentucky." It is believed he is wanted at Golds boro or somewhere in that section for! some crime far worse than the one he was serving time in Kentucky for and for this reason uesires to avoid being taken there, but rather be re turned to Kentucky to complete his five year term. The sheriff had two splendid proto- graphs made of the prisoner, a front and a side view and will seek to find out something further about Thomas before he :s returned to Kentucky, if it develops that his tale about escap ing from the Frankfort penitentiary "s true. The Kentucky State officials will be communicated with to ascer tain something of the man and in the meantime he is languishing in the Salisbury jail. Whatever may or may not be learned Sheriff Krider is of the opinion that Thomas, alias John son, is eluding officers somewhere for a serious offense. He says he left these parts in 1910. There was a ne gro answering somewhat h's descrip tion that killed a policeman in Lum erton about that time and St may be that Thomas knows something about this case.

Athens, Greece, Aug., 21. (Cor respondence of the Associated Press.) Sophie Tricoupis, one of the mbst remarkable women of modern Greece, is dead. She had been termed "The Uncrowned Queen of Greece," an jap- icllafion fully warranted by the fact 'or it is doubtful if even the Empress Eugene ever exercised so much di rect control over the" destinies of Prance as this woman did over the fate of modern Greece. She was a daughter of S'pyridoo IYicoupis, the first premier of freej Ireece, and the sister of Ihrilao fricopis, who during the lant quarter ,f the nineteenth century completely I lominuted Greek politics. As n child I ihe made the acquaintance of Lord Byron, who was a familiar friend In her father's housa and it was her father who pronuineed the funcn I address over the coffin of the En iflinth poet. Her youth was passed London, where her father was Greek minister, but on the entry of her brother into the political arena, she returned to" Athens and took up her leave him, remainm unmarried, she aim in his political work and in ooking after his personal comfort. A woman of striking appearance, die was the more conspicious by the fact thut she never changed the stylo of her clothing from the date of the loath of her father in 1873. She re ined even the earlj? Victorian fash ion of doing her hair and in her late years resembled nafthing so much as i daguerreotype come to life. The house which she pnd her brother oc cupied was a very small one but in spite of that, some of the most dis tinguished political tigures of the nineteenth century passed through its Irawing room. The present emperoi of Russia, Edward VII and Queen Alexander of England, King Christian l.Y, of Denmark were only a few of hose who wern the guests of this re markable woman. : Cut her relations with the distin guished visitors to Greece were whol ly political. She had no social ambi- tions and the ordinary balls and social gatherings of Athens never saw her. She was not only the inspiration but the active co-worker of her brother, and knew quite as much about poli tics as did he and it was frequently to "Madam Sophie" as she was called that those who had some political pro posal to make addressed themselves rather than to the Minister 'himself. With the death of her brother, hdw ever, she ceased all political activ ity and retired to a included life which she permitted, nothing to dis turb. She" was -over eighty years -old when she died. Appendicitis was the cause of her death, on July 26.
