Season Too Dry For Fruit Oood Pree- pcti for Wheat and Clow. Over 600,000 BuluJa af Apples Mored By Railroads' Lact Year. Report of DiTiiriom Heads Alio Submitted. Raleigh, Jon 4. Maj. W. Jl Grajam, commissioner of agricul ture, today aubniitted to tb board of agriculture in semi-annual session, hia report of tbe progress of the work in bit department. The ' financial statement shows receipt from De cember 1 to Juno 1, of $200,120.59 and disbursements of $112,037.43, leaving a balance, including the out standing warranto of $93,912.54. There wag a big increase in the amount of fertiliter used in tha State, the figures from December to June being 760,383 Una, as against 620412 tons for the corresponding period a year ago. Commenting on the crop and fruit conditions, the commissioner says that the season has been too dry for a good stand of cotton and corn to be secured in some- parts of the State, but tbe preparation of the land is equal to if not tbe best in the State's history. Qood prospects are declar ed for wheat and clover , smaller prospects for oats and a small crop of fruit. Apples will average about 40 per cent, of a crop and peaches 30. Frost and storms and the lsrge crop last year are responsible for the shortage. Major. Graham says over 100,000 busjiels of apples wero moved by the railroads in the Stat-last year. The State has also increased its lead in the production of eotton pef acre, tbe average' going from 267 . to 315 pounds. North Carolina is now fif teenth among the Stater in value of its agricultural products. Great ad vance has been' made among the farm ers' and this is due, in measure, to the- demonstrations " and ;' institute work. ' Commissioner Graham thinks that the successful farmer is not tbe man who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow in the field but who applies knowledge and science to his land. The report deplore the fact that the general assembly failed to auth orize the department io erect a much needed building at its own expense. The commissioner says he thought it unjust to put an item in a bill re quiring the department to pay $25, 000 for a building at the A. and M. Cojlege, the commissioner being "con sulted,", after everything' was deter mined upon. ..' ' ' Referring to immigration,' the commissioner said that the opportun ities offered by the State are attract ing many people, especially the farm ers in the northwestern part of the country. : The Mack lands of the east and the apple lands of the west- are most sought after. v Commissioner Graham recommends I that the positions of botanist and agronomist be combined and that a skilled agronomist and botanist be secured aCa salary of $2,200. Seed selection and' improvement would be handled by' this division. i-t. 4 J i Commissioner Graham suggests that the assistant director of test farms be not filled, tbe assistant not being needed in his opinion. This assist ant doea little more than keep books, the report says, and merely ; dupli- eatea what is done at the farms. -Commissioner Graham heartily ap Droves the. plan to call an inter-na- - tional convention to correct the abuse - arrowing out of .deducting foT bagging With re ano lie ou win w tard to soil ourvey work,ithe ;jrem- . miasioner-deplore the slow progress bein made, due to the few men in the field. .

Harris the Hero of Moat Thrill ing Adventure. The following from tbe Chatta nooga Times, written during the re cent reunion, will be of interest to the people here: Being tried and sentenced to be ung at daylight the next morning and then escaping about an hour be fore the execution, was the thrilling experience of J. Shakespeare Harris, now a prominent business man of Gmeord, N. C. Mr. Harris is one of the regular attendants at the reun ions and there is probably no man better known in the armv of Vir ginia than he. During the four years of the war, Mr. Harris seldom wore a gray uni form, although he was of more aid to the Confederate army than if he had been a regiment of men. He was a scout for Hampton's command. He posed during the war until his eii tnre, near the close of the struggle, as an officer for the I'nion army. Be ing admitted to the conferences and having access to the plans and pa pers, he proved himself a valuable spy. At one ot the battles in North Carolina he gave the information as to the plans ot the I nion forces to the commander of the Confederates. charge was to he made and during the night the Southern forces con centrated their men. The charge was made by the Union men supposing the Confederates to still he asleep The first volley from the Confeder ates killed 220 of the northern men. throwing the regiment into utter confusion and rout. A monument commemorating this battle now stands on the field. During the bat tle Mr. Harris remained in the rr his Union uniform and directed the battle to the advantage of the Confederates as much as possible. Near the close of the war, suspi cion tell upon Mr. Harris, and one night by a prearranged plan he was nigged and intoxicated and he then admitted the truth. He was tried with another spy, Jim Sloan, and sentenced. Shortly after midnight. Sloan, having small hands, freed him self of the handcuffs. He jumped into tha river and swam for a mile, where he found a skiff and was safe. Not deserting his comrade, he went in this boat into -the lines again,' -ami after breaking the shacklqs off Har ris, helped him to make his escape in the boat. At the reunion in Dallas, Mr. Har ris was walking along the street one day when a very poor horse, hitched to a still worse buggy, came along the street with one man driving. Har ris gave a mere glance at the man and then went to hiiu. and threw his arms about him and wept for joy. The man in the buggy was Sloan and it was the first time they hud met since the close of the war. Mr. Harris had prospered with an abund ance of fortune and Sloan was prac tically penniless. Takiny his money out of his pocket he gave to his res cuer $150, and then told him he would give him a lume and a large acreage of ground for the rest of the man's life in North Carolina. The offer was not accepted, however, and now Sloan and Harris visit each oth er' often and talk of the eventful ight in 1865. Mr. Harris will not talk any ot his war record to anyone but a- few eterans, where this bit of history was secured yesterday by a Times re porter. He js still strong and healthy and is a modest man in every sense. PJeasant and good-natured, he nl ways litis a crowd around him list ening to the war tales he tells, but never a word is mentioned about hi part in the struggle. If asked what part he took, he merely answers he was in Hampton, s division. High Point to Have Census Taken at Once. High Point, June 3. Mayor F.
