One Negro Killed Because Another One Rang Church Bell. Washington, N. C, Oct. 6. News reached this city yesterday of the murder of Alex. Harper, colored, last Sunday night near the township of South Creek, about forty miles from this city. It seems that Harper was the sexton of a colored church in that vicinity and about 7:30 o'clock an other negro, Thomas Barnes and his wife, were the first to arrive at the church, another negro woman, Jose phine Yates, soon followed and pro ceeded to ring the church bell before the arrival of Harper. Harper hear ing the bell soon put in his appear ance and became very much enraged with the woman for her act. Becom ing very abusive, Barnes proceeded to take a hand in the rucus, and in a few minutes there was a general mix up. Barnes, it is said, knocked Har per down and clubbed him to death, making his escape immediately after wards, and at lost reports is till at large.

The trial of Burrill Casey and his wife, Leona Casey, is progressing and nearing the end of what will have been one of the most sensational murder trials ever held within the borders of the State, the prosecution making every effort to prove that the defendants caused the death of Mr. Joseph Whitty by administering poison to him, while the other sider is endeav oring just as earnestly, to show that the deceased had died from natural causes and that Burrill and Leona Casey had naught to do with his de mise. From present indications and un less some unexpected delay occurs the case will doubtless be concluded by Friday afternoon, Enormous Catches of ; Fish at Beau fort. New Bern, N. C, Sept. 30. A' vis itor from Beaufort, N. C, who was in the city to-day, informed the writer that the fishers at that place have been making enormous catches dur ing the past few days. In fact, more than the packers and shippers there could handle. The supply of ice from the local factories is entirely too In adequate for the needs of the pack ers and several car-loads of ice is shipped to that point from New Bern each week. Monday morning fa solid car-load of twenty thousand pounds was sent down from this city and this relieved the situation somewhat. Saturday nine thousand pounds of blue fish were thrown away because the packers had not enough ice to preserve them. Ends His Own Life by Using Shot Gun. Clayton, N. C, Oct. 10. John H.

The potash made available In the amount of straw is equal to that irt three tons of an 8 2 2 fertilizer or in 17 tons of fresh cow manure. Wheat straw, old hay, dead weeds cut when cleaning fnce rows, ditch banks, etc., should be spread evenly over the poor place in the field dur ing the winter. In the spring this rough material may be easily cut to pieces with a disk harrow and plowed under. Last year a good farmer in David son County spread a lot of rag weeds, coarse grasses, etc., cut from around his tobacco barns and cow stables, over a very poor land in the fall on whi-h he had sowed rye. He did this to get the "stuff' out of the way and with no thought of its possi ble fertilizing value. I saw the rye in the spring just before It was cut. an dthe result was astonishing. The crop was as thick on the ground aa it could stand, well filled, and about five feet high. Just a few steps away where no mulch of any kind was used the rye made but an Indifferent growth and was thin on the land. Another farmer in Randolph County last year thoughtlessly spread some old straw, weeds, and coarse, dirty grass over a gall spot in his wheat field, and in the spring and at har vest time was surprised to find his j crop looking aa though he had spread , tons of stable manure over the land. Instances may be multiplied. ! In the future do not let your old hay, old straw, floodded grass, mixed , weeds and coarse grass, lie around! and rot In the fence corners and gul-! lies, but spread them evenly over the j poor spots In the wheat or oat fields j just after the crop is sowed. When! the crop is harvested, run a sharp j disk harrow over this mass of half rotten vegetation once or twice and plow It under prior to seeding the field to soy beans or cowpeas to be plowed under if the land is poor or cut and fed to live stock if the land is not In need of fertility. We had intended to discuss corn as a green manuring crop this time,' but find our space all occupied with the above dis cussion, and we will have to defer this crop for next week. J. L. BURGESS, N. C. Department of Agriculture. GOVERJOIENT CROP REPORTS. Most of the Crops Are Vet Unhar vested Wheat Crop Not as Large as Last Year. Washington, Oct. 9. Disastrous weather conditions which prevailed throughout the country earlier in the growing season abated during Sep tember, and the condition of most of the important unharvested crops, on October 1, showed improvement. Corn was one-tenth of one part of one per cent higher than it was on September 1; potatoes improved 3.1 iper centI tobacco 9.4 per cent; 'flax 1-z Der cent, ana apples 3.6 per cent, RIce condition declined 1.8 per cent, The effect of the hot weather and drought throughout the growing sea son was shown in the official prelimi nary estimates of the production of spring wheat, oats and barley. These three grains showed a loss in produc- toin over list year's harvest of an a5&1'egate of 301,000,000 bushels. All wheat is about 40,000,000 bush els less than last year. The yield totaled the indicated total produc tion of corn as figured out by the Department off Agriculture from the current condition will be about 356, 000,000 bushels less than last year's corp. Buckwheat is almost two mil lion bushels less than last year, pota toes 50,000,000 less, tobacco 69, 000,000 pounds less, and rice 2,000, 000 bushels less. Flax is the only Important crop which will give a har vest greater than last year, the pres ent season producing about 10,000, 000 bushels more.
