C.t July 20, 1901. Vrm will please pardon me for oc cupying a little of your time read ing this short letter which I propose to make a brier report ot all grow ing croi. Ours is a light sand that urodueeH well of a dry year, but it has ruined ho much since last April that the prospects ' for "hog and hominy" next year looks gloomy, and our people are alarmingly do- Hpondunt. The estimate now made by our oldest citizens are (If we hve no other mlnhaps) corn about a halt' crop, cotton about one-fourth crop, ijroundpeas about one-half crop, field -peas almost none at all, potatoes about one-half crop, tobacco almost a complete failure. Our farmers have, lor the last few years, done quite well with tobacco, but now they nay no more tobacco for them. One of our planters last year from tour acres In tobacco, realized be tween six and seven hundred dollars. This year from four acres of as good land, and fully manured, he says he will not get exceeding one hundred. This will give you some idea of the state of crop affairs here. Now uinm the back of this the working tieople have been burdened with new state officers and heavy salaries tor same. Heavy and . un necessary appropriation. Increase in the Governor's fcalary Ac, by the last red shirt legislature. . And I want to know how the people are to carry this load. Furthermore the Governor proposes to bankrupt the state. Ho it seems that if the people avoid starvation, they will have to go to parts now unknown. So the Argus says stop this lynching. If I mistake not Governor Ay cock was one of the Simmonites who canvass ed this state advocating fraud, force, red shlrtlsm, bloodshed and the like, during the last campaign. The Argus man claimed that the Gover nor was a Christian gentleman, and if such was the case, since the Gov ernor's new conversion, we may now claim for him entire sanctlflcation which I am glad to note. But right here arises a little barrier. I heard a leading democrat and church mem ber whose integrity cannot be ques tioned, say, only a few days ago, that he, with many others, was sick and sore of Avcockism, that the Aycocka had been on the hands of the people for safe keeping for near ly fifty years, and that when the atmosphere of this state could bo breathed with no taint of Aycock ism, that the relief would be great. Gentlemen of the jury, you can take the case. This red shirt legisla ture of 1901 granted to a board of incorporators, (by demanding $25 00 more than the law required,) a chart er for a radroad to begin at Genoa, near the city of Goldsboro, N. C, via. Grantham, Newton- Grove, Beamans X Roads, Balemburg to Itoseboro in Sampson county, to be built by individual municipal and township subscription. Said charter provides that the townships through which the road will pass shall vote upon the question of Issuing bonds the first Monday in next September. This election will beheld, and if the project is not defeated at the polls the work will soon start up, and if this effort proves a success the directors will make an effort to con tinue said road on from Roeeboro to Elizabethtown, In Blanden county, to connect with a road surveyed from Chadborn, S. C, to Elizabeth town. At this end of the line nego tiations will be made with the A. C, L. line if possible, if however, this cannot be arranged, an effort will be instituted to connect with the At lantic and North Carolina road. With best wishes for you and the Caucasian, am very respectfully, IIunkt. say: War, poverty, illiteracy, epl demies and tornadoes have all done less hurt to the South (be It said with respect to all men of breadth and tolerance) than the politicians and preachers. For these have been the conservators of outworn opinions and creeds, and they have suppress ed Intellectual independence. It is they who are to blame for the low to tbe nation of the old time South ern force and character since the war. They have suppressed thought and prevented growth these un scarred colonels who wear long hair and white ties and long frock coats, and those doctors of divinity who herd women by the most stagnant waters of theology." Mr. Page is not afraid to speak his mind. The politician of this State would be unwise if they en deavored to show that his charge wis incorrect so far as they are con cerned. .For the last two years in dependence of thought and action have been suppressed, and when one is bold enough to differ from the leaders and ring-masters, he is denounced as a traitor. "The herd ers of women by the stagnant pools of theology," may be able to answer Mr. Page. They are accustomed to talk. They may be able to show to the world that there is no such con dition in the churches as would give rise to the charge of Intolerance, bigotry, ignorance, commercial re ligion, Church trickery and all that sort of thing that brings shame to the church universal. The looting by missionaries in China, ecclesiasti cal demagoguery, the Pharisaism that would exclude God's people from let or inheritance in the Chris tian fold, the spirit of Satan that causes his ministers, under the guise of a Christian habit, to speak of other Churches as sects, societies, organizations, but in no sense of the word Christian Churches, may be explained away by these so-called expounders of the Bible, but real confounders of justice, truth, right eousness and the universal brother hood of man, with one common all loving, all embracing Father. Mr. Page will not do the real Church any harm. The right sort of prun ing never hurts a growing plant. It fails In the case of decaying or dead ones. Mrs. Smith badly injured. Between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, a ter rific explosion was heard and timb ers were flying in every- direction. Three Joint of dynamite were placed under the house, but Mrs. Smith had moved her bed the day before and under the floor beneath her bed no dynamite was lued. Another bed in the house was blown through the roof; a trunk was knocked through a table and brooch which she had worn the day before was found up a tree in the yard, whither It was blown by the explosion. Her nelce from Montgomery, Ala.j 1 was in the larger house and was awaken ed by the screams of Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith was postmaster at Nail's and the government at Wash ington has been wired to send an inspector at once to look into the matter. Mrs. Smith Is quite a noted character in Stanly and Montgomery, being a woman of much wisdom and business sagacity. She has doubt less several enemies and suspicion points quite strongly .to some of them. The community is consider ably aroused over the occurrence and it is to be hoped that the guilty parties may be brought to justice. ALL IN GOOD STANDING WITH THEIR CAMPS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND.

Fuller Company, which has the contract, has been furnish ing distilled drinking water to the men, who, becoming tired of it, asked for lemonade. Not getting it, they polled issues and engaged a boy to make and serve lemonade to them. The superintendent objected to this and about 50 men struck. "Now what do you think of that?" asked Superintendent Clark. "Every contractor knows that lemonade is the worst thing a man can drink. It makes them weak and ill. If I thought it would do them good, I would buy it by the barrel. The next thing they'll be asking for is jelly cake and folding beds." An Object.

Skipper Made 8700 by Hana-ln Outside th Harbor With Porto Rico Sng-ar, ew York Sun,2tb. The barkentine, Mannie Swan, with a cargo of about 1,200 tones of Porto Rican sugar, got into port yesterday, sixteen days from San Juan, after having stood off on the outside the Hook several days wait ing for the proclamation of Presi dent McKinley abolishing tariff duties to go into effect. The con signees of the sugar, L. W. & P. Armstrong, of this city, say that Capt. Higgins, of the Swan, by keeping out of -port, saved them about $6,000, of which the skipper will receive $700" for his slowness. Capt. Higgins says he sailed a short time before it was absolutely neces say, because he feared that he might meet a West India hurricane,' this being the season, if he didn't get off Osceola. The evidence against Allred is very strong, and there seems to be no doubt as to his guilt. Allred has borne a good reputation previous to this, and it is a great surprise to all who know him. ' The following are the facts in the case, as given to your correspondent: , ; Allred has been employed in the Bellemont cotton mills and board ing with the Petty family. Last night he was drinking and did not report for duty. This morning Mr. Petty left Allred and the little girl in the room . about 9 o'clock and went out to attend to some business, and when he returned he found Allred with the little girl down on a pallet. His design was evident from his position, but the details are not printable. The father de manded of him to know what he was about, but he only jumped np H. A. London, Adjt. Gen. and Chief of Staff.

News that the democratic ! committee had expelled Senator McLaarin from the party and demanded his resignation was conveyed to him today. The Senator was greatly surprised. No intimation of the proposed action had reached him or . any of his friends on the committee. The body had assembled to fix the date for the election in the Seventh Congress ional District and to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Congressman Stokes. Senator Tillman's plans seem to have been kept remarkably well concealed. McLaurin declined to make a statement today, even to his closest personal and political friends. It is expected that after a consultation with leaders on his side lie will issue an announcement or nis position. Ruling him out of the party will cause the loss of some supporters who are willing to follow him under the name of "Democrat." It may gain others. - The resolution ruling McLaurin out of the party was offered as a substitute for one changing the rules of the party so as to make the can didates in the primary subscribe to an oath to support and advocate, as members of Congress, the principles and doctrines of the Democratic party as promulgated in the national and state platforms. There was con siderable opposition to this, as mem bers felt that the silver and other planks in the national platform would be back numbers. The Mc Laurin resolution, with which Sena tor Tillman was familiar, was offered as a substitute and the senior Sena tor earnesly supported it. State Senator Lewis Appell of Clarendon was the only one to make a strug gle for McLaurin. Tillman defied any one to say McLaurin has cast his vote in the Senate in accordance with the wishes of his people. "He has voted on .mportant mat ters with the Republicans since the treaty with Spain was ratified by his vote." said Tillman. "I have had to remain in my seat quietly and see him confer time and again with Republicans. Now, we are the engineers in charge of the Dem ocratic train and must guide it safe ly into the station. We must pro tect the party from treachery. "This year we were told we would have peace and harmony for one summer at least, but peace and harmony won't come when there are sneaks and theives and traitors going around hiring Hessians and distributing gold and buying up newspapers. I am fully aware of what I am saying and I know where of I speak." State Senator Appell, who Is the proprietor of a McLaurin paper, arose to make a protest. "I know that you belong to him, heart and soul," said the Senator. He had not aimed at Appell, he said, but thought his remarks must have fitted his case. "But the issue is not as to men, it is one of republi canism," continued the Senator, (and republicanism of the most damnable kind. I might have had some respect for McLaurin if he had come out honestly and as a Repub lican." Tillman met all dissenting re marks, whipped in the waverers and carried the thing through with a whoop. McLaurin headquarters have just been opened in Greenville, but the One of the great fVaturea of the Twentieth Century Slate Fair, will be the delivery at tbe capItoCdoHng the night seaeJoos of the North Carolina Agricultural Society, of some Important addreaaes upon pertinent subject of Interest to the people of North Carolina.

General Cox Inaugurates a pleasing return to a custom of former years, from which grew out many of the moat progrenive and Important condi tions we enjoy. The Agricultural Department ltaelf was the result of the labors of a committee appointed at tbe annual meeting of tbe society. Tbe premium list of tbe next SUte Fair will shortly be issued. It has been carefully revised by the special committee appointed by the Executive Committee, and enriched in various departments. About seven thousand dollars worth of premiums ara offered, the greater part being offered for field products, garden products, live stock and orchard and dairy products. Horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry of every valuable breed and variety have been provided for. Special premiums Is given to stock owned in North Carolina. The SUte Board of Agriculture. composed of farmers, has donee liberal part toward tbe encourage ment of the' farming interest, by giving fifteen hundred dollars to ward these premiums, which the Executive Committee gratefully ap preciates.

The steam ship companies which do business between New York and Porto Rico have so many applications for freight space that they will be unable to supply the demand without charter ing extra vessels.
