Tha wind 'Telocity was at one time fully eighty miles per .hour, and by some was thought to . have considerably exceeded that rateof progress. Eighty milea an hour means a wind pressure of not leas ttL3t twenty-two pounds on each, square foot of perpendicular surface ex posed to the blow, that being the result, as determined by Hagan, whose figures arenoderate when compared with tho3e of'Soine other investigators. That min imum amounts to 330 tons for a build ing 200 feet high and 100 feet wide, a pressure so enormous that one may well wonder how snything constructed by man could resist it. Yet our tall towers not only stood the shock bravely, but unflinchingly They did not even bow and shake mid the intermissions of the blast which brok off numerous trees and snapped mi ay a telegraph pole aa if it had no more strength than a pipe stem.

Culture in the South. Easy and Profitable. Raleigh, N. 0. The New York papers say fresh figs are being shipped to New York from California. If this is so why Can not we here in North Carolina send them in much be ter condition. To-day (July S2d) figs are retailing in Raleigh markets for twenty-five cents per peck and the crop from cow until frost will be very large. I am g ing to make an ex perimental shipment for the benefit of our glowers and believe thU they can be shipped in strawberry boxes and crates just as well, or better, than strawberries are. Figs all over Eastern North Caro lina can be grown as successfully and o as fine quality as anywhere in California, and if we once get our slow people stirred up to their interest in the matter, they Rre sure to "git there" in 1he end. The interest in the fig crop is increasing here. I have distributed in the last three years over 6, COO fig trees from the North Caro lina S ation of our thirty varieties of the choicest fig.- of Italy and the Levant, and am beginning to see some of the results. We have had recently San Pcaro figs, which weighed a quarter of a pound each. These were of the fir-t crop, which is always large in size of fruit. These early figs stt in late autumn and remain dor mant all winter and swell out in epring when the winter is not so severe as to in jure them. Many of them get nipped by frost and the early crop is never so large as the later ones. The second r main crop is now coming on, and is unusually abundant, and will be until frost I have, suggested to onr growers find wish to icpeat it here, to take the figs when ripe, but not too soft, wrap each in tissue paper and pack snugly in strawberry boxes, and then pack in crates not longer than thirty-two iu a crate, and I am sure they will reach the northern cities in good order. A number of farmers have written to me for directionsfor drying figi. I have found the following the best plan : Take well-ripened, figs, make a strong lye of hardwood ashes, dip the figs in the lye, rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth, aud dry in any of the cheap, portable evaporators. Whoa dry pack ia boxes just aa figs are packed abroad, A lye made of washing soda will answer, but is not so good as wood ashes lye. The object is to remove tha acidity of the skins. The figs can also be treated in this way and then instead of drying, preserve them in the old-fashioned way, in syrup: Put them up iu glass jars with neat lithograph labels and they will "sell like hot cakes." Many a southern lady -could make money in tbis way. A little ginger root with them is an improvement. Here is an industry which our Southern people ought surely to deyelope. I met one of our leading farmers to day, a member of our Board of Agriculture. He said that our work here has brought about a wonderful enthusiasm for the culture of cow peace in the State, and: that in this sectiorjj-mpre are being sown than he ever knew. Formerly from his station a number of car loads were ship ped annually to New Orleans for seed, but this year they were hard to get at any price, as the farmers were using the seed on their own land. I had great difficulty iu getting seed pease wanted for parties North who are taking an in terest in the crop. Here is another open ing for our Southern folks. Hundreds of farmers are trying these pease in localities too far North to ripen them well. They are findiug them valuable, and the de mand will annually increase. Our farmers should grow them not only for the benefit of their soil, but for the sale of seed. You cm not go wrong in this matter. There will be a greater demand every year for this valuable crop and our growers should be prepared to meet it. At present the balance of the trade is against the South and many goes away from us northward, but it is in our power, with the wonder ful variety of crops we can grow to change all this, get the balance on our side and thus make the money stay here. Grow Eease for sale of seed, grow peae to feed ogs and stor sending money North for bacon; and, finally, grow pease to prepare your land to grow more of everything else. All through the upper Piedmont country of North Carolina, there is the finest wheat soil, naturally, in this country, and the people are attempting to grow cotton when wheat on pease fallow would bring them more money, and would en able them t o keep stock and make man ure and all the products of the dairy. I ate to day cheese made at our experiment station by Prof. Emery, li'icr than can be bought to-day in Raleigh at twenty cents per pound. All of Piedmont N. C, can make good cheese even if they can not make a market for butter. It will be a happy day for the hill country when they quit cotton on most of their and3 ndgo into wheat, grass, pease and cows. W. F. Masset. Per a onal. Joseph L. Vandiver, an cx-Coufeder-ate soldier, died in Clarke county, Va., last week- He was one of the party that entered Cumberland, Md., during the late war and captured Gens. Crook and Kellcy. Rila Kittridge, an expert microscopic penman of Belfast, Me , has written sev eral of Gladstone's speeches upon a single pos'alcard and sent the curiosity to the Liberal leader. Four citizens of Winnipeg have left thit city for a carriage drive to Jackson ville, Fla., 2,500 miles. After spending the winter iu Florida they will return by way of the World's Fair. Hiotous Conduct of Striking1 Millers. Riunelandkk, Wis. Owing to the riotous conduct of the striking mill hands here, warrants were sworn out for the arrest of 300 men on the charge of riot ing. A delegation of mill owners have left for Madison to lay the matter before the Governor and ask that the militia be sent here to protect their property. Not a saw mill is running. The Sheriff is unable to secure sufficient deputies to protect the mills. Fifteen hundred men are out. rir.v,., Mrs. John A. Logan is organizing a woman's league to extend all over the country for the purpose of raising fl, 00,01.0 as an endowment fund for a wo man' department in the $10,000,000 American University of the Methodist Church to be built at Washington. A. BLOODTHIRSTY VILLAIN He Seems to Have Reveled In Murder ing His Fellowmen. But Meets His Death By Law at Wiet Cour t House. Wise C. II., Va. Governor McKin. ney having refused to interfere, Talton Hall paid the penalty of his innumerable murders on the scaffo'd here to-day (Fri day) . The Sheriff took all possible pre cautions against a threatened res cue, end a coinpauy of State troops were present to aid the large force f special deputies in preserving order. Talton Hall's criminal record has pro bably never been paralleled in t he United States. He is credited with ninety-one murders, and while this is probably an exaggeration there is no doubt that he is responsible fur the death of at least two score men. He was bom iu Luther coun ty, Kentucky, 46 years ago, and grew up with such desperadoes as John Wright, who is credited with twenty-seven mur ders, and the "Doc" Taylor against whm he is now so bitter. TheSe men joined Guerilla Morgan's baud when the war breke out, and made themselves conspicuous for their deeds of reckless dariug. When the war end ed they returned to Kentucky and inaug urated a reign of terror in the mountains. Murders were the daily amusements of the gang, and although they were fic quently arrested, the ttrror which they inspired insured their acquittal when brought to trial. It was well known that any juror who vi ted to convict any of the desperadoe s would te marked by their friends, and as a consequence they always escaped. In this way Hall was acquitted of the cold blooded murder of Henry Maggard, in 1866. He killed Dan Pridemore in 1875, and wa3 acquitted; a cowardly jury acquitted him of Nat Baker's murder in 1881; and he wtnt free when he murder ed his brother-in-law, He'iry Triplett, in 1882. He killed Henry Ilouk in 1883, and was iudichd, but no officer dared arrest him, and in 1885 he killed his cousin, Mack Hall, and laughed at the Sheriff who tried to arrest him. Finally on July 14, 1891, he deliberately mur dered Chief of Police Hylton, of Norton, Va. By this time public sentiment was too strong for him ;ud lr; fled the country. He was captured at Memphis Tena , however, and brought back for trial. He was duly tried and convicted. An appeal to the Supreme Court resulted in an affirmation of the sentence, and th Gevernor refused to commute it. The South at the Buffalo Exposition. Buffalo Com ier The feature of the fair unquestionably has been the Southern exhibit. To see cotton growing in the fields, picked, gfhhed, f pirn, and woven into cloth as it " is'riow done by the most modern machin ery, by the side of the old looms, "wind ing blades," hand-picking, and old way of making "homespun" practiced by our graud mothers 50 years ago, was truly an object leson in progress to the thousands who daily witnessed this work going in the Exposition building. Another deparlrae it of this Southern exhibit interesting to many hns been the turpentine industry as shown in the ex cavations in the forest tree, "chipping," collecting the product and its distillation into oil and the manufacture of rosi.i A lar'e collection of growing plants was in exh'bits showing the sugar cane, sweet potato, peanut, Indian corn, r'cc and other staple products of the South, while in the contribution from Florida were to be seen vincapples, bananas, oranges, lemons, figs, and other tropical fruits in the growiug state. The Florida contri bution w is also accompanied by a pond o' live alligators, while the wild beasts and game "from all States in the South were showD, including the bear from his native jungles, the praveyard rabbit, the soaring c gle, and the melolious mock ing bird In a picture gallery 100 by 110 feet space in anoth r part of the building were to be seen pho ographs of Southern farms, factories, s ho;)ls,churches,private res:den-es, banks and public buildings, scenes at Winter Park, Jacksonville, and St. Augustine, Florida; Marion, Colum bia, Aiken, South Carolina; Winston, Charlotte, and Tokay, and Southern Pines, iu North Carolina; Annision, Florence aud Birmingham, and manv other places in the Southern States, read ily recognizabls. In this .allery also could be seen the photographs of Gov ernors Buckrev, of Kentucky; Buchanan, of Tennessee; Fowle, of Nerth Carolina; Fleming, of West Virginia; and Iheir State officers, together with officers from other Southern States. But by far th? most interesting feature of this exhibit which attractel most at tention from our business men was tho collection of hardwoods, ores, minerals, and phosphate rock. The South surely possesses wonderful resources, and the percent ge of increase in manufacturing, mining, railroad building, and passenger traffic in the last decade as shown by sta tistics is truly gratifying A Memphis Blackmailing Scheme. Memphis, Tenh. The "upper ten" of Memphis society is shocked over the exposure of a bold aud par.ially success ful attempt to black m dl James Younge, a prominent and wealthy cotton factor, by a newspaper carrier named R. II. Kin and his wife. Younge very recently re ceived a note from King's wife, who is a buxom blonde, iuviting him to call at her residence. Youage accepted the iuvita tion. When he arrived at her residence Younge was received by Mrs. King in her private apartments. A few moments after his arrival King burst open the door and covered the intruder with a revolver. King demanded $5,000 on the epet as a balm for his wounded honor. Young had no money with him bub King compelled him to sign 5,000 worth of notes, secured by a mortgage on Mem phis real estate. Younga was then allow ed to depart. The matter was kept se cret until yesterday. King negotiated the notes with a real estate firm, but when a representative of the firm took the notes to Younge they were repudiated. King has fled- Dr. Leslie E. Kceley, of bi chlonde-of go'd fame, has sued the London Lancet for libel. GOVERNMENT'S DECIDED ACTION. A Circular With Regard to Immigrant Vessels. WAsnrNGTOS, D. C.

South Carolinae's Present Governor Carries the Primaries. Columbia, S. C- Returns are coming in slowly. .The towns are largely in the majority for the Shcppard or Conservative ticket; whereas Tillman and his ticket have their chief strength iu the country districts. Reports coming in from the towns put Sheppard in the lead. At the Democratic primaries in this Chester county Hemphill, for Congress, carried the county by 400 Till man, for Governor, 500 majority. Returns indicate that Tillman has carri ed Greenville county by from 300 tv 500 majority. The indications are that Tillman will carry York county by not less than 700 majority. The r.ce between Hemphill and Strait is so close that ic is impossible to fay who will get the majority. Hemp hill's friends are most hopeful. A feature of the balloting in Columbia was the refusal of the managers of the election to allow Judge A. B. Haskell to vote. Col Haskell is the man who led the independent Democratic movement against Tillman two yeara ago. When asked if he wa3 entitled to vote he replied that he had been a Democrat all his life and had been a member of a club for t:n years. Being asked if he would pledge himself to abide the result and support the nominee he replied "I decline to pledge myself to abide the result of the primary and to support the nominees of the party, such pledging at the primary elections being against the fundamental principles of a republican form of govern ment, against the rights of free men and in violation of sound Democracy. " A Judge Caught in the Act of Theft. A special from Brunswick, Ga., says: Judge William R. Blaine, the Ordinary of Glynn county, and one of the most popular men in the State, was caught stealing money from the safe of Grocer Michaelsoo. The merchant was absent from the store at the time. He has lost nearly f 2,000 during the past six months, aud he set a tfap for the thief. A po licemau was hid in the store. The mer chant went out, leaving the outer door open. Judge Blaine walked in 60on after. He went to the safe and took a handful of silver from the cash drawer. He was at once taken into custody by the policeman." NANCY HANKS AGAIN. She Breaks Her Own Record to the Time of 2.05 1-4- Independence, Ia. Nancy Hanks, the queen of horsedom, added a shining star to her crown when she trotted a mile on the world-famous kite-shaped track at this place in the uopreeedent time of 2:05 1-4, clipping two seconds off her Chicago mark, made two weeks ago.
