A cutting affray which resulted very painfully for Pete McLean, colored, took place in the lot back of C. H. Coble's bar this morning. McLean and a white man who, it is taid, is a distiller at Wilkinson's government distillery, south of the city, had been rinkiDg all the morning. They easily became involved in a quarrel, the se quel to which was that the wh;te man rew a knife and slabbed McLean twice on the left arm, culling iwo gashes nearly thj full length ofthU member and reaching in depth, almost, not quite to the bone. Immediately after inflicting the ugly wounds the white man fled, and Mc Lean refusing to tell who cut him, the police have been unuable to obtain evidence sufficient to justify a search. McLean was drunk and walked to Mc Naii s' drug store with the blood liter acy flowing from his arm. It wgs some time before a physician could be obtained and when Dr. Wiloon reach ed him he was exceedingly weak from loss of blood. His assailant had cut with telling effect and bad he hit the body would have, most probably, in flicted mortal wounds. ReJdsviUe Ntws. Special to The Telegram. ReidsviKe, June :W Mrs. C F.

Thaoker & Broolunann. TO OUR SOUTHERN FARMERS Important Suggestions Issued By Department Of Agriculture. OPINION OF COL. J. E. BOYD On Passage of the Constitutional Amendment Opinions of VHher Carolinians. Special to the Tkxjsgram. Washington, June 30 The depart' ment of agriculture has just issued the following sugges'ions to southern farmers, of which it is desired wide publicity be given through the columns of the southern press: "Until recently the southern planter has paid title attention to raising other crops than cotton, cane and rice. These money crops always flDd a quick cash sale anywhere. With the money derived from the sale of these products he is able to buy his meats, grain, forage, etc. "The system of cropping and renting by those who ho'd large tracts of land which provides a more certain revenue, is almost universally followi d. Hence cotton is extensively planted, and although the yield is but one-half the capacity of the soil, yet it is enough in tin aggregate crop throughout the south to depress the price below tile cost of production. '"The continuous growing of cotton has greatly reduced the life giving vegetable matter or humus in the soil, and allowing land to remain b tie all winter has s- ftcilitated leaching and washing of soil during open winters that much of the best land Ji&& been nearly ruined. "This condition of affairs has shown the south rn farmer the neces sity i.f changing the nthods of farm ng, and of devoting his attention to raising other crops and live stock. 'On account of the exceedingly low prices of the staple product an inter state farmers' conveit'on was held at Vicksb :rg, Miss. February 1, 1899, for the purpose of discussing new mtth"ds of diversifying crops. The addresses delivered and discussed at that convection were placed in the bands of the secretary of agriculture, and by his direction have been con densed in the division of publications, and have been issued as Farmers' Bulletin No. 98, entitled "Suggestions to Southern Farmers." 'These addresses relate to soils, the peculiar advantages of the south for growing forage crops, raising and feeding live stock, cotton seed and its product and othe- agricultural mat ters. "Diversified farming with rotation of crops and an increase in stock rai- ng are urged for adoption by the southern farmer a system that will in clude more crops to enrich the soil in- tead of wearing out the land; one that will provide more live stock to consume the products and manure to still further enrich the soil. "Attention is called to the great value of cotton seed and its products as compared with corn and other foods, and suggestions are given as to handling them so that the south may be able to derive a much greater bane tit and a very much larger revenue rom these products. "In the raising of forage crops the climate of the south gives it many ad vantages. Timothy, clover red top oats, alfalfa, lespedtza, vetches and cow peas, the southern favorite are grown, and on the alluvial lands al falfa furnishes from five to seven cut tings during the year. "This bulletin is for free distribu tion, applications to be addressed to the secretary of the agriculture, Wash- ngton, D C." Col. James Boyd, Assistant Attorney General, is quoted as not being sure of the passage of the proposed con stitutional amendment lim ting negro suffrage in North Carolina, and as saying that "even if it is adopted the federal statutes are in the way of ts applications. Nine out of ten North Carolinians, democrats and republicans coming to Washington say there is no doubt of the passage of the amendment. As to the proposed restrictions leing unconstitutional, that is a matter to which care'ul con sideration was given by the North Carolina legislature. The same argu ment as to the unconstitutionality of the measure was also urged against, the Mississippi, South Carolia, Louis iana elections laws, most of them be ing based upon the same lines as that proposed in North Carolina, and all with the same object in view. The United States Supreme Court has up held the Louisiana law, and lawyers inthiscity who have examled the North Carolina provisions say that there is no doubt but it will stand the test. Mr. R. Kemper, Jr., of Alexandria, Virginia, who has been employed in the offic3 of the Southern Railway Company in Washington, has gone to Minona, Mississppi, where has ac cepted a position as agent of the com pany at that point. The condition of General Henry Heth, the well known Ex-Confederate officer, who has been critically ill at his home in this' city has slightly changed for the better, and . Is now ab'e to sit up for a short time each day. On account' of the General's extreme age. however, he is extremely Weak, and great precaution is taken lest he over-exert himself. Several bridal couples from Virgin ia are In the city, stopping at the va rious hotels. Among them are Mr. and Mrs. Clarence W. Huff, who were married at Danville Wednesday at noon. They are stopping a few days at the Metropolitan , Hotel, and will visit Chester. Pennsylvania. Mr. Huff is a popular eipJoye, of the At lantic & Danville gaUlway at Dan ville. t'- H. D. Murry and bVide,of Staunton are at the St. Jame'Hotel. Postmasters have been appointed in North Carolina as follows: Henry Wilstead, Harblnrer, Currituck coun ty: and W. N. Gregory, Shiloh, Cam den county. Elma Houltshouser has been com missioned postmaster at Troutmans, North Carolina. Freeland M. Holleman has been commissioned postmaster at Ascend, North Carolina. f J D. Sinclair, of Greensboro, is at the St. James on a business trip. Among other North Carolinians in Washington are Messrs. L. B. Turn- bull, of Durham, J: W. Cannon and S. W. Cramer. An Error Corrected. Editor Telegram: I desire to cor rect an error made by your High Point correspondent concerning the 4th of July celebration at Randleman. Your correspondent was misinformed on the subject, as we certainly intend having a flag rais'ng and Bible pre sentation under the auspices of the Jr. O. U. A. M. The Odd Fellows also are arranging a program for the evening. We expect quite a large crowd to be present and enjoy the. day with us. There is not a case of smallpox In the town of Randleman, and no danger at all in coming to our town. The only case in the community is in quar antine with all suspects. The hospital is one and one half miles from town and under perfect control. We espe- ially invite the good people of Greens boro and surrounding country to come down and spend thely with us. I am informed that a good game of ball will be played at 3:30 p. m. Spe cial invitation to Junior Orckr mem bers. E E. Mendenhall, Mayor. Rmdleman, N. C, June 30, 1899. Winston's Public Buildinr. Judge John Gray Bynum, of this city, has been employed by certain part es in Winston to test the title to the proposed s te for Winston's public building and if possible to prevent the ocation of the building on the site selected by the government. The site selected is on the northeast corner of Liberty and Fifth streets, and a large number of citizens of Winstons, fir certain reasons, objected to its selee- 'on and it is said that they will now make it a fight to the finish. Judge Bynum returned from Winston at noon today. An Encouraging R-port. Mrs J. W. Alspaugb, of Winston, treasurer cf the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Western North Carolina Conference, passed through the city last evening en route to Concord to attend the annual meet- ng of the society, before which body she will read her annual report. The report will show that during the last fiscal year she received over $3,000 and that $400 still remains in the trea3ury. This Is thought to be the most encouraging report ever made to the society. The Normandle's Manager. Mr. C. E. Frick, now of Charlotte, will be manager of the Hotel Norman dia, this city entering upon his duties August 1st, to make arrangements for theopeniog of the hotel on the first of September. Mr. Frick has been, for the past four years, chief clerk at the Buford Hotel, Charlotte, and is one of the best and most popular hotelists in the State. The Norman die will prosper under his manage ment. The Telegram extends a welcome in advance. Sent to the Confederate fluseum. Mrs. Ella B. Broadnax, of this city, has sent a canteen and a scarf, which belonged to the late Col. Wil liam L Rankin, to the confederate museum at Richmond, Va. A large picture of Col. Rankin also was sent. To the Powers That Be. Mr. Editor: Would it not be a pro per idea for the city commissioners to confer with the railroad authorities with a view to having an elevated bridge crossing at the depot for pedes trians and vehicles? Then you would have no more trouble in crossing the railroad and coming in contact with trains. The expense of guards and gate operators would be saved and it would be safer acd more convenient. It would also be in keeping with mod ern and progressive eity ideas. What do the authorities think about it? Progress . BADSHQ0T1NG AT HIGH POINT Joe Jackson Probably Fatally Wounded BY ONE "LINZ" CROAKER Four Balls -Lodged in Jackson's Body The Extent of tils Wounds. Croaker Gives Bond. Special to Thk Tklbuham. High Point, N. C, June 30 Last night about 8:40 o'clock four reports Wrom a pistol were heard in the direc tion of the railroad fill across from the colored Baptist Church. It soon developed that the reports came from a 38 calibre pistol in the hands of "Llnz" Croaker and tbt all four of the shots took effect in the person of one Joe Jackson. The shooting took place at the home of the former (the old Haney building) at the bottom of the fill mentioned above. As soon as Croaker shot Jackson he went up town acd on learning that chief of police Bennett had gone to his house he returned, meeting the former on hi 8 way back. In the meantime Jack son had walked home and sent a boy after the physician. Mr. Croaker acknowledged the shooting and Mr Bennett placed him in the custody of Joe Hoffman until he went to the home of Jackson and found out the extent of his injuries. Croaker gave bond as soon as he returned. Your High Hoint representative hurried to the house occupied by said Jackson in the north-eastern part of the city as soon as he learned of the trouble. Arriving there we found Dr. Mc Annally, the physician sent for. getting ready to exam ne the wounds of his pati nt, who seemed to be rest ing easy for a man with so much cold lead in him. It was found that one ball entered his right breast, about 3 inches below the collar boae going1! through his right lung, and lodg ing in his body. Another ball ent jred his back to the right of his spinal column, close to the lower ribs. The other two shots took effect in h?s right and left arms respectively one ball going through his right arm, while the one that entered the left arm just above the wrist glanced downward and lodged in that menber of the body. Dr. McAnnaly does not think the wounds necessarily fatal, though they may prove so at any time. Only on ball was removed last night, and almost went through, lodging over the right lower bowel, which ball was soon gotten out. We do not give the particular' which led to the shooting, as Mr. Croaker has nrade no statement and thtre are so many rumors goitg the rounds that it's hard to get the straight of it. A SMALL MANUFACTORY. Greensboro Should Add It to Her Collection. A gentlemen from Philadelphia will be in Greensboro in a few days seek- ng a building in which to locate a cigar factory with a small salesroom n the front. Any one having such a building desirably located for a retail c?gar Ptore, for rent, can get the gen tlemen's name and address at the Tel egram office. Let's locate him. Small manufac tories make a city and when one is secured it is another step forward. The gentleman in question is reliable and progressive and will make a val uable citizen. GREENSBORO BOYS DEFEATED. Lost the First Game to Concord- Crawford Today. The Greet sboro baseball team, which went to Concord yesterday morning to play three games with that city's team, yesterday afternoon lost the first of the series to Concord by a score of 4 to 13. A special to this morning's Charlotte Observer says that the Guilford boys were easy to handle, Greensboro's pitcher strik ing out only one man, while six of our boys fanned the air. Crawford will play with the Greens boro team today and a much belter game is expected. In fact, the news that the Greensboro boys triumphed in the end, would not be surprising, though baseball is Concord's hobby, and it is said that "they do play ball. The official 9core of yesterday's game is as follows : R. H. E. Concord...1 13 14 5 Greensboro 4 7 8 His Work Rewarded.

LOU WEATHERLY DEAD Passed Away at 8 O'CIock Last Even Ing at Her Home. The many friends of the family in this city were pained this morning to hear of the death of Mrs. Lou ,Weath erly, which occurred at 8 o'clock last evening at the colonial Weatherly home, three miles south of the city. Mrs. Weatherly had been ill for eleven weeks with typhoid fever. About a week ago she grew worse and since then her death at any time would not have been a surprise. She was 55 years old, of an excellent family and one of the most beloved women in the section around her home. Mrs. Weatherly was a faithful mem ber of Grace Methodist Protestant church, this city. The following chil dren, all grown, survive her: Messrs. Carl H., Berriman, Tom C. and Misses Mary and Flora Weatherly and Mf s- dames John Donnell, Jr., and R. W. H. Stone. She was a sister of Mrs. W. J. Teague, of this city. Her many friends mourn with ttem her loss. The funeral will be conducted at 4 o'clock this afternc on from the resi dence, by Rev. T. M. Johnson, and th; rtmains laid lo rest in Greene Hill Cemetery. nr. Blackburn's Departure. Greensboro is soon to lose one of her .most valuable and popular citi zens. Mr. W. J. Blackburn will leave about the 15th of July for Fayette ville, where he is interested in a new tobacco warehouse, as was mentioned in the Telegram a few days ago. Mr. Blackburn is an expert tobacconist and will handle the product of Cum berland's rich tobacco fieids in a way that will prove profitable, both to himself and the farmers. Greensboro will give him and his excellet family up with much reluctance but wishes them increased prosperity in their new home. The Real Thing. Double seat, double knee, with seams all taped, can't rip, buttons won't come off. These are the kind of clothes that Mrs. Jane Hopkins makes for boys. Rankin, Chisholm, Stroud & Rees are the exclusive handlers of this excellent brand of goods. They are reducing prices oa a,ll ei1" spring patterns. If you need a suit for your boy now is the time to buy. See their ad in this paper. He Has a Record. It seems that Julian Parrish, the negro who is in jii' here for stealing a wheel, is an old offender. Chief Scott received a letter from a Durham merchant this morning asking if Ju lian was not wearing a new pair of pants, which he said were stolen from him a short while ago. Julian's pants answered the description, but his ward robe not being very elaborate, he was allowed to keep them. THE MARKETS. Closing Quotations by Paine, Mur phy & Co. By private wire to F. A.
