The amount of money embezzled in creased more than threefold." Suicides numbered 12.608, as com pared with 10,530 in 1909. The pro portion of suicides as between the sexes remains about He same, 8,252 males and 4,856 females. Physicians as usual, heed the list among prof stonai men, tne number being 41, as compared to 27 in 1909 and 42 in 1908, and clergymen are next, 11 having taken their lives. The most significant feature is the increasing number of those who were led to suicide by ill health. Of the total number 402 shot themselves, 4.0M took poison, 925 asphyxiated themselves, 1,682 drowned ' them selves, 984 cut their throats, 656 jumped from windows or roofs, 56 threw themselves in front of locomo tives or electric ears, 27 stabbed themselves, 14 killed themselves by fire and $ by dynanu'ter .Thirty-four quit life in suicide compact. The number of deaths by personal violence of all kinds in 1910, except suicides and lynch intra, were 8.975. as compared with 8,103 in 1909. This record is not confined to such cases of murder and homicide as result in arrest and trial, but include deaths by every form of violence. The causes of these deaths were Quar rels 4,049; unknown 984; liquor 798; by highwaymen 930; jealousy 612; in fsnticide 125; highwaymen killed 73; resisting arrest 106; insanity ' 225; riots 46; self defense 76; strikes 53 and attacks 15. r - The most striking feature of these figures la the increase" in , murders committed by thieves, burglars and hold-up men, the number . being an increase of 38 over that of . 1909. There have been 186 cases of murder and suicide. 27 double murders, 6 triph murders by highbinders and 40 by the "Black-Hand." The number of death penalties in flicted is slightly less than the num ber in 1909, being 104compared with 107 in the latter year and 92 in 1908. The number of lynchings shows de crease, being 74 compared with 87 in 1909. ., - - -' , , The record of embezzlements, for geries and bank wrecking shows a material increase over 1909.' . v , Cettoa Growing la Mexico.' Experiments in cotton gr6wing in the State of Tamaulipas, Mexico, have resulted so satisfactorily ; that planters there are very enthusiastic over the prospects of cotton becom ing one of the most profitable crops of the State, according to United States Consul Clarence A. Miller, at Tampico. - In the vicinity of Columbus, Tam aulipas, cotton was grown this sea son for the first time. Special feed was imported from Georgia. The production was one bale, and in some cases more, per acre. xmo trouble was experienced with the boll weevil. but some damage was done by the army worm.- Plans are being made for planting a much larger acreage next year, and more seed will be imported from the United States. Experienced cotton lanters from Oklahoma and other '.ztsa express great faith in . the ro. ;cct for the successful cultiva 'on cf cotton in this district. lUr.i'.is For Sals.

The Southern Cotton Oil Company ia making an experiment at WadcsUiro,' North Carolina, which in being - watcheeV with considerable Interest. The company purchased-a carload of Hertford steers and brought them to the mill at Wadesboro, and is fat tening them for market- . The feed used is cotton seed meal and hulls and it is the purpose of the company to make the experiment to ascer tain the value of this food for fat tening beef cattle. v. . ' ' It has long been considered a fun damental' doctrine -m, agriculture that cattle raising la essential to permanent soil fertility and it ia a narural though hasty V conclusion that we should curtail" cotton raising for the purpose of making corn and other forage crops to enable ua to maintain cattle. - No farmer is in clined to argue against the doctrine of raising home supplies,' which in elude corn and meat; but many cob- ton farmers in this particularly good cotton country have an instinct that more money may be made here in pushing cotton as our own, specialty and leaving cereals to tjie western fields where they raise nuch things to the best advantage, 'but cannot raise cotton at all. If this cotton specialty plan could be porsued while still permitting extensive, cattle rais ing, it would be highly,, profitable, The feeding of cotton seed meal and hulls is the one thing that can make this profitable.. It enables the Southern planter to rata extensive cotton crops and at the same time raise any-desired number of cattle on the by-products of thia cotton cropw Although the,, vijnee of cot ton seed meal and hulls as a cattle feed have been amply demonstrated at all the agricultural experiment stations in the country,: and though cattle feeding In this way has proven highly profitable in many parts of the South and also in Europe, yet no cattle feeding for profit has .been undertaken in this immediate section until this year, when the Wadesboro Oil Mill brought in a , carload of Hertford steers for fattening.-These steers make a pretty and instructive picture at feeding time when' they are eagerly fighting for the cotton seed meal and hulls, the only feed provided. - V;, ;; .. These steers are in an open pen on the hillside above the oil mill. They have access to sheds for bd weather and they have an ample Supply of water. Already a w these steers have taken on considerable weight and it looks as if one or two of them would be in fine condition for slaugh ter in another week. A few of the nice fat ones will be butchered for local use and then the " people of Wadesboro will taste some fine "wes tern beer grown, : so to speak, in their own cotton fields. '-, The success of this feeding experi ment will encourage the' cotton planters to raise good beef brands of cattle like Hertford, or short horns, and fatten them (and possib ly slaughter them) for the. nearby markets, wheie they now receive carloads of dressed beef- from Chicago that is in no way - better than can be raised and fattened at borne, provided we use the proper breed, and provided we fatten them quickly. Both of these points are important " The breed is important because some kinds of cattle take no more fat per. pound of feed : than other kinds. . Rapid fattening is im portant because that is the only way to get tender beef just as we make tender vegetables by forcing a rapid growth.' ' -V It is a fact that a large proportion. of the fine beef cattle sold in the Chicago stock yards and afterwards shipped to this country as refriger ated beef Has been raised and fat tened in Texas mostly on cottonseed meal and hulls. -, . - ' Why not raise the cattle and fat ten them on the by-products of bur cotton fields, arid thus save freight on the beef, and what is of still more importance automatically enrich our lands.

Valuable Re port of North Carolina Corpora' " tloo Commission Jost Js- sued Tell 9f Property Valuatioi The report of the State Tax Com mission for 1910,' which was issued in time to be placed on the desks of the members of the Legislaturewhen it assembled a few days ago, and Is now ready for distribution, is a doc ument of particular interest, al though it consists almost entirely of figures, for the reason that the tax ation is the question of first interest at this time. It seems that nearly every member of the Legislature has come to Raleigh with the idea that the question of taxation is one that requires some kind of radical action at this time, - and this publication gives complete statistical informa tion, in convenient tabular form, for a period of ten years. , . The State Corporation Commission was created a State Tax Commission by the Legislature of 1901, just ten years ago. At that time they round the total valuation of all property in the State $300,709,300. The figures compiled in the report just issued for the year 1909 show total assessed value of all property u the State, $593,387,413. ; . The total valuation for all property in the State for 1910, which will ap pear in the next tax report, is in round numbers $613,000,000. These figures show that in ten years the tax valuations in the State have been practically doubled under the supervision of the Corporation Commission as a State tax commis sion. . When it is considered that it has been three years since, under the law, there has been an assessment of real estate values or of railroad property, and that a new assessment will be made this year, which will naturally and necessarily result in another large increase by reason of increased railroad mileage, equip ment and values, and that the last four years have been the most pros perous in the history of farming in the State, resulting in largely in creased real-estate value all over the State, conservative men will be dis posed to conclude . that values are perhaps being increased about as they should, unless provision is made for some decrease in the tax rate, Another interesting table in this report is that showing the average value of land per acre, and average value of different classes of personal property in the several counties of the State. In value of lands. Dare stands at the foot at $1.45 per acre, with Gaston at the head, $26.11 per acre. The average value for the en tire State is $6.30 per acre. Gaston has a lead of $8 per acre over the next highest county, Durham, which is $18.12 per acre, and ia partially due to her large number of cotton mills outside of incorporated towns and shown as real estate. The aver age valuation of $6.30 per acre ap pears as a much more glaring under valuation now than it did four years ago when the valuations were made, as there has been such rapid increase in values.: ;;! -v;:-;- -?v?;i'M'' Other tables in the - report which are worthy of consideration in con nection with property values are those showing tax rate levied by the several counties and by the cities and by the cities and towns in the State. There are only nine counties in the State which do not levy special tax in addition to the regular authorized rate as follows: Bladen, Cabarrus, Chowan, Craven, Haywood, John- Death In Roaring fire ; may not-" result from the wOrk of firebui's, but often severe burns are caused tkrt make a quick need for Buck leu s Arnica Salve, tbe quickest, surest cure for burns, wouocs,--bruises, boils, sores.

Kilgore, State Chemist, of North Carolina, states that: "The roots, stems, bolls and leaves cor responding to- (or which produce! five hundred pounds of lint cotton, are around ,i-u pounds, or more than one and one-half tons, contain ing 67.7 pounds of nitrogen, 26.5 pounds of phosphoric acid, 50.3 pounds of potash, and 69.3 pounds of lime; or the equivalent "of five tons of good manure." v. , These figures are the result of ac tual weighing and analyzing, and not guess-work North Carolina, or the parts of where these tests were made. pretty well toward the northern limit of the Cotton Belt and the pro portion of roots, stems, bolls and leaves, to lint produced, is smaller than in more southern portions of the Cotton Belt Hence it would seem quite probable that the figures obtained in North Carolina are un der, rather than over, the average for the Cotton Belt If this be true, and we have no reason to doubt it, the acre of land which produces aw-pound bale of cotton also pro duces, on an average, approximately one and one-half tons of humus. forming material which is destroyed when the stalks are burned. This is the greatest need of our southern soils, even the supposedly rich Mis sissippi Delta soils showing large in crease in crops from the addition of humus-forming materials. In ad dition to this, keeping in mind that the next greatest need of Southern soils is nitrogen, it must not be for gotten that when the stalks which produce 500 pounds of lint are burn ed, there is a complete loss of 67 J pounds of ultrogen.which at 18 cents a pound is worth $12.18. Fire has ever been the bane of Southern agriculture, and every scientific fact and all intelligent ex perience dictates that it must cease, We must use the implements and team force necessary to plow under all the vegetable matter that can not be used for feeding live stock; for without humus, Southern soils are poorwhile with . it, they will produce most abundantly .Progres sive Farmer. , "MUST EDUCATE PFOPLE" Some WU4eat frees Chaasp Clerk, Tac SpeaKerTeBe ef te Baese. New York, Jan. 6. -Representa tive Champ Clark, the speaker-to-be of the House, told , the periodical publishers of America at their an nual dinner, - that he approves of them. "I believe the editors and publishers of magazines are. the greatest educators of our time," he said.' "I believe with, Henry Ward Beecher, that we must educate the people or go to the bad. If I had one prayer for the American people, it would be that every man should be so educated as to read his ballot and have the courage to vote accord ing to his conscience. That educa tion may come from the schools the newspapers or the magazines." -- ston, Nash, Randolph and Warren. Of those levying special taxes, Hen derson county has the highest, 79 1-3 cents, which, with the regular State, school and pension tax, makes , the total tax rate in that county, outside of incorporated towns, of $1.46, The highest tax levies, however, .are found in the towns and cities. One and a half per cent is not unusual for the cities, while Southern : Pines heads the list at $2 on the ! $100. These are, of course, in addition to the regular State tax and the regu- ar and special county tax levies, making in nearly all of the large cities a tax rate of about two ' and. a half per cent, and some of them in excess of this, V-j -;. .' -: .
