Public nice as a Public I mat. The news comes from Raleigh that J M Mewborne has resigned as commissioner of agriculture, and it to be elected superintendent of the penitentiary, Superintendent Smith, of tbe penitentiary, succeeding Mew boorne as commissioner of agricul ture.

Partial acknowledge ment was made of bis failure sevtrsl weeks ao when the directors of the peni'entiary took cei tain important duties attaching to his tfli'eoutof bis bands and asBumtd tbtm themselves ; but tbey did not avow failure but have been keeping a brave bluff in the claim tbat the penitentiary operations bave been highly successful.

Ex. ias si Too Brave to Be abet. In a battle during the Civil War the Confederates were driving back ibe Federals, who were in swift rev treat, when a Federal officer dropped wounded. One of his men stoppid at the risk of bis life, and put his arms arouud the officer to carry him from the OelJ. Fifty Confederate nunksts were aimed at the young man who was picking up the officer. But the Confederate captain shouted "LI U. don't fire ! Tliat fellow is too brave to shoot." And as the Federal officer, he'd op by his pri vate soldier, went limping slowly off he field, tbe Confederates gav three cheers for the brave privatt; and just before the two disappeared be hind a barn, both the wmndtd officer and tbe brave private lifted their caps in gratitude to the Con federate captain.

Tbo limbless Cotton. We received some time ago a prop osition to advertise the Jackson limbless cotton and handle the seed as agent, 1'he.comuiiBsion was fair but only a little more than half what some editor said he was offered. If tbs limbless cotton is a good thing we want our farmers o have it, but we would rather not see them bite freely, lest there be found some fake. We give tbe following that seems lo ua the most comprehensive brief statement that we have seen. Should any of our readers wish to try tbis co'.ton we will tuke pleasure in aiding them: "One of the features of the cotton growers' conyention today was the exhibiting of a new variety of cot ton, known as the "African limb'ess." In 1893 Adolph Kyle, while wan dering over Central Afno-t, ca ie across a new species of giant cotton in be valley of tbe upper Congo river. The plant was not nnder cultivation, but appeared to grow Ild on the marsh lands. Ic differed from other cotton in that many of the stalks were as high as 2J feet, and tbe bolls werecouneoted directly to the stalk witbout any intervening limb, Kyle cut t ff a piece 18 inches long. He placed it in his trunk and finally came here. 'Talking to a gronp in a hotel Kyle related the above incident and so interested F W Jackson, a planter of this S ate, that the latter a-ked to see the specimen. Kyle gave it to him, and in the spring of 1804 iackson planted a large number of the seed, obtaining only 57 perfect stalks in his crop. Tbe soil in which be experimented was very poor, and the stalks only averaged eight feet, with an occasional excep tion measuring 14 feet. The max imum number of bolls on one stalk was 187, and the ordinary run av eraged 6 bolls. Tbs American cotton averages only eight to eleven bolls to the stalk. "The quality of the new species was found to excel the old greatly. The next year tbe amount of prod uct was increased slightly, and in 1806 five acres yielded three and a balf bales to tbe acre. From the crop of 1806 there is enough seed to plant 2,600 aores. It is expected chat with proper fertilization the seed will produce five bales to tbe sere. 'Tbs new variety has five "locks' or divisions to the bol', whereas the old style has only four. The locks in the ordinary variety are only three qaarters of an inch long, while the new kind is one acd one-half inches long. While the brand has teen endorsed as genuine by Com missioner of Agriculture Nesbitt and others, Col. R J Reddin, super intendent of the State Experimental Farm, denounces it as spurious, and says it is simply a variety of a weed tbat grows in many places and which has been brought to high cultivation. Tbe convention will investigate tbe cotton tomorrow." AtUn'a, Ga f Special, 14th, (o New York Sun. Hbella to Beat Ibe Band. Happening to drop in at th Fenix Roller Mill this (Thursday) morn ing, Mr. Giles Crowell showed bis new Western cornsheller ha has just received.

Eight splendid ows were killed Saturday and four more are being wa'ch d and examined to dertermine whether tbey are affected with tbe disease. Prof. Emory,.of the experiment sta tion, made a test for tuberculosis of the eight cows tbat were killed, and after a thorough examination he was sat sfied that they were fcfftctta.

It ReAtraiufl Only the Peaceable The VIcIoum Dlnrearard It, King's Weekly, of Greenville, is i paper which has a refreshing fash ion of blurting out what it thinks, seemingly without regard to wheth er the proposition it announces ia comfortable to the publlo or not. Die following from a recent issue is a case in point : "There is right much now being aid about abolishing the hip pocket. It is a popular subject viewed from sorn standpoints, but the average citizen who has to hus tle for a living, comes in contact with the world and look out for bitasolf, often finds a necessity for two. Carrying concealed weapons has often resulted in fatal conse quences, but it should not be for gotten tbat much life and property have more often been protected. No man who understands the times now existing among us fails to see justification in carrying concealed weipons. The law against it ought to be repealed. It 13, of necessity, violated every day. It places the weak and law-abiding at tbe mercy of tbat element who care nothing for the law. And tbey are many. In these times, it is best that every man be prepared to defend himself at any time." This is what a great many peop'e are thinking and the idea upon which they are acting without the nerve to say it. There are many good and peaceable citizens who at times feel the Deed of carrying a gun and carry it, notwithstanding that there is a law against it.

In following out this idea it is to be said that a man has an inherent right, of which the law cannot with justice deprive him, to carry a gun. Tbe law has a right to collar bim when he makes im proper use of it not before. States ville Landmark.
