CLOSING ,
The Pine y Grove School, Has Inter
esting Commencement Exercfres
I^ast FrlUai-.
On Friday, March 4*. the commence
ment exercises of the Piney Grove
school, District No. 13, in lx>ng Acre
township, took place. Quite a large
number were present. }n addition to
the regular exercises of the day Jhe
. school gave a picnic. Everything
good to eat was served. Miss AUbe'
"Lee Draddy is the efficient teacher,
and is doing good work.
After dinner Messrs. Joseph F.
Tayloe and W. I>. Vaughan made ad
dresses. Mr. Vaughan made a pro
. position that if some man in the
community of Piney Grove would
give two acres of land for the use of
the school, then let the people In the
district come together at proper
" times and cultivate the cfrop and the
entire proceeds go towards the school
he felt sure 'it would be 'beneficial.
Before Mr. Vtughan had finished
stating hi proposition Mr. A. C. Wid
mer announced that he would donate i
the land, tfhis two acres this year
will be planted In potatoes with corn
between. This course will be taken
* so as to realise two crops. All the
profits will go to the school.

these farms will be donated. V

a result of reading eieltlab tales of
crime. These stories are forgotten
perhaps fy years, or until the emer

through the poind the plot at device

stories. In the belief that he will

Portland. Me., - March 7. ? The
Maine Steamship Company's liner
Manhattan, which left New York at
midnight Saturday, was attack* Yd by
flames an hour after she had docked
hore today and w(^s destroyed ^after
being towed to South Portland. The
total loss Is 1260.000. The vessel
was valued at $125, i>00 and the car
go at the same. The passengers who
were asleep on board at the time
escaped injury through the, bravery
of the crew. ?
One- member of the crew, a Span
ish fireman, Is missing and is be
lieved to have perished. The other
34 seamen are safe. The Manhattan
was known among seafaring men as
a "hqodoo" boat. Since she was
built In ,1891 she had "been in two
oollisions. a man was lost overboard
from her hurricane deck and she
once sprang a leak in Hell Gate. New
Yoffk, and came near sinking.
There were seven passengers on
board and they were not awakeiftfT
after the Manhattan had docked last
night. Half an hour after she had
been made fast to her pier fire was
discovered in a quantity of freight
in the hold. An alarm was sent in to
the Portland fire department and the
members of the crew were formed
Into a bucket brigade while the first
mate and the purser aroused the pas
sengers. who fled ashore with their
baggage. The flames spread 'rapidly*;
and soon began to menace the Maine
Steamship Company's pier. It Was
then decided to beach the Manhattan;
The tug Honyebrook of New York
and two Portland tugs towed her to
the* South Portland Beach, a mile
from the pier, where the lire finished
its work.
A roll call of the ogew was made
and It was found that a fireman was
missing. M

THE COTTON St* PPL V.
(Charlotte* Observer.)
Production of cotton Jn the South
ern States has averaged from 160
pounds of lint to the acre to 315
pounds per acre. It looks as though
for thlB year the. production will be
a minimum. It had been thought
that the minimum would never be
reached again, because of fertilizers
and the better understanding about
planting and cultivating cotton. The
Influences operating to make a min
imum production per acre are chiefly
the boll weevil* and drought In the
Western States and decreasing fer
tility of the Sbl! In these Ban>e States
also; The drought is. of course, a
passing event. Decreasing the fer
tility of the Boil can be cured in the
West, as well as it was in the East,
by fertUjzers. The toll weevil is the
one Important and threatening in
fluence which may permanently di
minish the production per acre.
Besides the reduction per acre by
the influence of the boll weevil, an
other important factor will constant
ly tend to diminish the total produc
tion. This Is the development of di
versified agriculture and manufac
tures In the South. It transpires that
there are many things a trained and
educated working man can do In the
South which are more profitable than
producing cotton, even a fifteen cents
a pound. For the working man.
weekly wages are far more attractive
than an uncertain settlement on a
farm once a year. It transpires also
that there are forces and resoqrees
being brought Into use which re
quire working people. These must
practically all cotae ofT the cotton
farm. It Is not alone the cotton
mills, but the furniture factories,
malfiine shops, saw mills, trouser
factories, truck farming, the produc
tion of ewiy vegetables for shipment
<iyn, .
other thingB that cfcn be dotae, every
one more agreeable and more profit
able than raising cotton at a cheap
price. *
Many * efforts have been made to
find a source of cotton supply in oth
er parts of the world. This has, so
far, not. been successful to any great
degree. How far it may be succeifi*
ful in the future, none can tell. The
havoc produced by the boll weevil is
evidence of "what a little thing may
destroy ]he crop. The slightest ad
verse condition in. climate Is at times
as disastrous as any cotton pest could ??
possibly be.
Taking it all in all. the cotton sup
ply for the world promises to give
concern for the next two or thrpe
\ears at least, and perhaps indefinite
ly, trousers of the fiber. The defi
ciency may be partly made good by
more and better attention to the pro
duction of flax or linen, wool and
other fibers; and It will be partly
made good by better prices for cot
ton than were formerly obtained.

for his recovery. ?'
To avoid any possible violence Mr.
E. E. Powell, was taken from the
county Jail at Halifax and placed In
the stat$ prison at Raleigh.
AU day yesterday groups of men ?
stood on the streets discussing the
calamitous affair. Powell was today
taken from Halifax to Raleigh jail as
a precautionary measure against any
possible violence, though it Is not be
lieved here that there was any ne
cessity for it. The town la quiet and
there is no danger of dipordy.
Congressman Claud Kitchen was
Interviewed today and being closely
associated with State Senator E. L.
Travis, of Halifax, whose condition
is favorable, gave out some informa
tion concerning the latter which
seems to have given rise to Powell's
violence.
"About two years ago." he said,
?'Powel)'s son had a difficulty here
with a man named Raby. for which
he was bound over to the superior
court. Powell wrote to Senator
Travis at Haltfax in view of employ
ing him to defend his son. He claims
that Senator Travis did not answer
his letter. Senator Travis had been
retained on the other side, but does
not recall anything particular about
the letter which Powell claims he did
not answer." Such is the matter re
lating to the letter as given out by
Congressman Kitchen* today, who
spent some hours with Senator .Tra
vis yesterday as he came from Wash
ington to his home in Scotland Neck.
