T , ami liis more recent incarccra' inn in tin1 jail at Seattle, Washington. Harding is a native of Beaufort, county, N. C, and was born within half a mile of t he liame of Fx Con pressman Branch, where his aged mother now lives, lie is the son of Thomas -I. Harding, who was for many years an overseer for the late (ien. liloent, vln was the grand father of Mr. Branch- His parents were good, plain, respectable people Harding is now about forty vars i f age, about 2nd poiitn's weight and if line command i iig appearance, wit h a super, ibinnl.i ce of style, and boin-hist'n- liiiisii. and has a tongue us slick and as snppery -is one of Kiiei harilt s t- -s' blocks of ice lie ran awav from Beiufort ooun'y about t euiv live years ago, for stealing a hi e nf cotton fiom Mr. Pulaski Cow per 's farm, about a ini.e from the town -if Washington. N C Tilt1 cotton was traced to Newbern. where I lar bug sold it . I nit from some cause, not no.v recalled, it coul I not ' i- reclaimed. iithing further was heard from i tint il one lirighi balmy evening about six months ago, via Seaboard Air lane. Harding, like a bird of prey, "t! ip;-'d " do.v n i n our beaut i ful city of Oak !. ami registered, in full at the Yarhnrinigh. He was iuick anil captivating of speech, earnest and iulcrenling iu conver sation, and discoursed charmingly of his extensive' travels. He was latest from M ex ico. where but a short time ai'o lie met M r. V. J Andrews. .1 inister-liaiisoins pri ate secretary, which was true, and was introduced by Mr Andrews into the Capita Club here. He claimed fo know (ien. lid', and saw much of him in Havana. Weyler and Maeeo, and Coincz were not only his well known aciiiain1auees, lint likewise his per son.il friends He hail larg" i - tracts in .Mexico and Cuba lie knew Mr. C. M. Busbee, having met him in Denver al a large Odd Fel low 's conven t ion, and Mr. Hen I. icy also ho had been his guest at his house in Denver, which was also true as stated. One of the lirst persons he tnel was Mr Cow per, who hid never bes fore seen him, though he knew his people. MrCowper had forgotten the circumstance of the bale of cot ton. Their conversa ion was short, as MrCowper was about to leave the city and had to leave him. In a few minutes 1 1 .t cil i -i y appeared in his ollice, saving he ex peeted some funds here, but they had not yet readied him, and as he wanted about $2od, he thought Mr Cooper might arrange il for him through his company, lie ing infnrmtd the i imipaiiy could not do so, he suggested that Mr Cowpcr might endorse his draft in the hank This Mr Cowper had consented to do, but just 'before sig-o. r it oeeur ed to him that oue of the Harding boys had run away from lieaufort county, about I'll or 2." years ago. and probably this might be the one He made the best excuse he could, but refused to endorse. Harding was not at all flustered and compla cently remarked that l,c "would call on his friend Mr Busbee who would endorse f ir him," asked for his place of business-ami left. It would have I cen a severe, but yet a good joke on Mr Cowper, after stealing his ba'e of cotton and ruumng away from the Stab- on account of it, that he should ha"' been the tirst linn he took in out oi the o il on his return to it: "but a nn-s is as good asa mi e His next 1 11 -it wasupon Mr Hen Lacy, cashier oi Dime Savings Hunk, for endorsem nt lor $200 Mr Licy being a bank ollieer, and not sceinjr his way clear through it, had him self excused 1 1 is next was on Mar sha' j' U Hill, and with better su, -ce-s Mi Hoi "u-s raised in his im mediate si-clum d was once the sheriff or ll" 'in ny.-and knew nil bout him pent'1'".

Mr lliil, to be oil the safe side, had the bank to wire about it and ibe next iimni iu f the answer came "No such man to be found." Mr Hill lad him held iu custody and recovered $75 of the money, and Harding handed over his watch and a fjun and some other articles Mr Busbee was-Ilill's law yer and while the papers were being pre-pai cd for M r Roberts, magist ratei to sign them, Harding cauie in and asked Mr Busbee to endorse his draft, lie then knew nothing of "what was up." Mr Busbee, of course, didn't lose much time in re fusing. Harding'' trunk was sent, here from Washi i. .on, DC, after he got the money. He remained here several days, anil ran up a bill of several dollars lit the Yal'borough. II- left here for ( I reen vi lie, Mr Cook of the Yarborough, holding u. truuk for board bill. From Washington, N C, he sent by express the amount he owed Hill and the Yarborough, anil his watch, gun and trunk were forwarded, to him. His mother hud sold a piece of her laud to secure money needed in her declining years. He got all she had, and it is supposed a part of this was sent to get his trunk, etc., and to pay Maj. Hill. Besides, he did not want the Raleigh news to overtake him tiown east. At Washington, N C, he just missed catching the largest mer chant in the town for six hundred dollars Nothing is known of Ins doings in I ii-t'ii 1 1 1 other than his stealing the package ol blank checks upon his failure to get Ins draft, cashed through the bank From Washing ton he wrote the (Ireenvdle cashier about a big purchase of land, and from his reply he sccu.ed his naiiic- At, Seattle he coiiiil.evlits the I i reeu viile cashier's name to a draft for $Siioo, gets 1,'IIMI. ami skips from Seattle, and all her vicinity and surroundings, and the next heard of him is his being "'nabbed' in Begin, N V T, and laUrr placed in the common jail al Seattle.

At II today they returned a venlictof guilty, but recommended t ie defendant to the mercy of the court. Judge Timberhike said that the girl's character had been vindi cated by the verdict and that was what her attorney s desired so he would dismiss the defendant upon the payment of cost Emma Cope the defendant was represented by Messrs Moses Amis, K A Johnson and -I C N Harris while the solicitor ai d Mr ii C Beckwith prosecuted Both of the women are almost white, and the Suminerville firl is very good looking She has been working in a d ress-makiiig estab lishment in New York.

Acreage Increuscd- "The indications are that the to bacco acreage in this State will be greatly increased this year, ' said a gentleman today who has visited many of the eastern counties. He says that the farmers are discourag ed about cotton and will plant to bacco A large quantity of I rtili.er is being sold for the tobacco beds and this is the chief indication for this belief. Many of t,he farmers in Johnson county will raise tobacco this year and the fact that most of the farms there are small and the owner cultivates the crop himself with little or no outside help indi fates that where the soil is adapted verv tine tobacco will be grown there A man who cu'tlva'e? his n ti ernp will take morn pin with it tiiHO it hlrt-d hitndi - Mr Arihiif Litidim in in th t'lty, ACTION EXPLAINED Why Mr. Avirelt Heliirnetl His Fees IN THE KAILI.OAU SI IT Me Scores suinc Hireclnrs of i lie Noiili t.'urnlinii Kiiilrnii J IhciC l'--u-ncc in I he l.cmliiinv nf I'lVHIinii is 11 I nle.
