KORAKEUJ Different Verions of Mrs. ( leveland's Neglect to Shake Hands with Him, Washington, Sept. 1. The President declined to discuss the subject of the alleged snubbing of Gov. Koraker by himself and .Mrs. Cleveland, in Philadelphia yester day, and Col. Lamont said he knew nothing about it. He had not heard that the Cevernor of Ohio had been treated any differently by the President from the Governor of other States who were present in Philadelphia. The report that Gov. Foraker had been snubbed by Mrs. Cleveland was not believed when it was first received hero. Several members of Gov. Foraker 's staff, who passed through Washing ton on their way home, say they believe Gov. Foraker was snubbed, whether Mrs. Cleveland intended I it as such or not. This version of the affair is given by an eye wit ness: It was at Mrs. Cleveland's recep tion in the afternoon. Gov. and Mrs. Foraker were presented first to the President, who shook hands with them. They were then pre sented to Mrs. Cleveland, the latter simply bowing without extending her hand. What made this marked was that Mrs. Cleveland shook hands witb the gentlemen who preceded Mr. Foraker, and also that she gave her hand to Gov. Foraker's Adjutant, who followed him. Gov. Foraker's friends be lieve the slight was intentional. Others say that in the crush of the reception it was more than prob able that Mrs. Cleveland did not notice who was before her. and was innocent of administering an inten tional snub. There is no complaint that the President snubbed Gov. Foraker. Philadelphia, Sept. IS. Re garding the published reports that Mrs. Cleveland refused to shake hands with Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, at the reception on Friday night, one of the best-known of Philadel phia editors said last night : It is hardly possible that Mrs. Cleveland should have selected that pl-iee and time for exhibiting her contempt for Gov. Foraker. The crush was great, long lines of peo ple had been standing for two hours and the floor managers were auxiens to get the business through. For that reason word was passed along the line, 'Don't stop to shake hands with the President, but move on.' Gov. Hill, of New York, had this injunction whispered into his. ear, and had he heeded it a scandal , woold certainly have resulted. I myself saw Mrs. Cleveland stop as if to rest her hand while several ; persons past-ed before her. It was natural enough. Ten thousand hands were in that building to press that one hand. Human nature could hardly stand it. She had to rest. It may have been at one of these periods that Gov. Foraker passed. I think you will tind that if the iucideut really occurred it was under the circumstances I have ' mentioned. Mrs. Cleveland is re nowned for her tact and good nature and is too enlightened a woman to descend to Gov. Foraker's level bv snubbing him while he was acting i as the chief officer oi the State ot Ohio." One thing is certain, Mrs. Cleve land did not shake hands with Ohio's Governor, and she is the only person who can tell why she did not. There were scores of others with whom she did r.ot shake hands. She was probably fatigued and made r.o extra effort to be af fable to Gov. Foraker. but treated him like others to whom she did not extend her hand. As a rule she shook hands with only special persons after the officers of the army and navy passed eaily in the evening.

Phillips, of Battleboro Towuship, discovered his barn on fire aud the dames well under way. All efforts at extinguishment were unavailing, loss about three hundred dollars, two thirds ed" which was corn and fodder. .Mr. Phillips i.-. confident that his loss is due to incendi.irism : but whether he suspects any one or has any evidence the reporter did not learn. The Southerner still adheres to its estimate of the cot ton crop fifteen per cent, less than the average. The faimeis, though, those who have brought cotton to the cotton y.tid, are almost unani mous that the crop is twenty per cent, short. They mav be light and the Southerner may be wrong, but until more parts of the county are heard from we can't change. The yields from o U'.v seetiems have been received that no one can tell even whether the mps w less than an average. Of c 11 be tirse the Southerner's estimates are made Tor the entire county and not for a few miles just around here where much of the cotton was Hooded aud had the most rain. Goldsboro Argus : The Graded School for the whites opened yes terday under favorable circum stances.

He has about six acres of corn, planted after his pea crop, which he is cutting now, aud he thinks his crop worth at least per acre. The crop was ouly plowed twice and never hoed at all. It is easy to be seen, therefore, what a snug little profit there is to the acre. Next week he will sow the same land in iy e thereby mak ing three crops which he has planted on the land this year.

Short Talks With the Men Who Guide the Plow. 1 TOM LANDS, it was suggested that La oarrie.nio ne estaoiisneu across bottoms Ui, it were scoured by heavy rams. To save labor and econo- mise v;hiia!.t l.inn. it wia rppnm. mended that these be placed at narrow places across bottoms. Supposing there are no narrow places what should regulate dis tance between barricades. The rule for terracing would fipoiv viz., at such distances ap.ai that theie shall be a difference of three fwet in level. The final effect of these barricades is in fact to terrace the bottoms, and gradually to raise them higher and higher above the bottom of the stream. One obvious result would be therefore to mak the bottom dryer. In fact barri cading might be "used to elevate wet bottoms and convert them into dry ones, susceptible of cultivation. The barricades should be built high enough to check the flow of water very decidedly, to bring it almost to a standstill, except along the course of the stream. It is a slight checking of velocity that causes de posits ol sand and gravel the wa ter must be brought almost to a standstill before the finer materials will be deposited, and it is the lat ter which make rich soils. As the terracing process becomes linihed the water of a freshet which spreads out on each side of the stream, resting upon a ievd surface, loses its motion almost entirely and is gradually drawn off as the stream lads. To prevent, therefore, bot tom lands from being covered up by depo.its of sand, the overflowing water must be, not slightly, but thoroughly checked in its velocity, so that line material as well as coarse may be deposited together instead of the coarse alone being thrown down, and the finer carried on farther down the stream. The sides of the main ditch may need some protection where a bar ricade juts against it. This can be supplied by cutting two narrow ditches 10 or 12 feet long at right angles to bank, and the width of barricade from each other, and then framing heavy logs in these ditehes and along side of bank be tween ditches, that is like the two sides and one end of a log bouse, the end forming the bank of the stream at that point. When it is considered how valuable a good piece of bottom land is, one is justi- hed in spending a good deal to develop its full capacity and protect it from injury. An acre of good bottom land wili yield as much as four or five of ordinary upl nd and one might lose three out of five i crops on the former and yet get as much as he would on the five acres of the latter. Never leave any open ditch,, except the main one, in a piece of bottom land. Open ditches , call for labor every spring to clean I them out and clear offtheir banks, and besides take away from culti-' vation a strip eight or ten leet wide 1 to each ditch. One cannot afford to lose so much valuable land. The loss in a few years from these sources would pay even for laying down tiles, which last for a life time. It is on bottom lands that the intensive system of farming may be pushed to its last degree. Bv indi- cious manuring such lands might '. be kept continuously under crops Oats sown in antumn might be fol lowed early in June with corn; and oats sown again at the laying by of corn would perpetuate the rotation. As such soils are rarely deficient in humus, they do not need nitro genous manures; phosphates and kainit will meet all ordinary de mands. In truth, the land would suffer less under such a programme than the customary one of being planted every year in corn without being manured. True, an occasional wet year, or extraordinary floods, injure or even destroy crops on bottom lands, l'nt droughts do the same for uplands offsets and compensations are met with everywhere. Let us do our part well. In the case of bottom lauds, straighten, deepen and widen the main ditch blind ditch all the damp portions. Erect barricades wherever needed. Keep the banks of main ditch from caving or wash ing away by proper sloping and judicious breakwaters. Manure and cultivate well; rotate crops upon them. Keep off stock. With good sulky plows turn under all de bris left upon the land, never burn any of it. Leave the rest to nature and she will deal kindly and boun teously with us. W. L.

It declared in favor of advanc ing the Department of Agriculture to the diguity of a cabinet posi tion. 3. It declared in favor of the Inter-States commerce act, as a wise aud patriotic measure and of such added legislation as may be required to perfect the law and make it effective. 4. It declared in favor of influ encing proper legislation by Con gresa in the interest of Southern agriculture, and to that end pro- vided for representation in the Far mers' Congress which is to assemble this fall. . It declared in favor of electing no man to a legislature or to Con gress who would not use his best efforts to relieve the agriculturists of their burdens of undue taxation. d. It declared that the ti ue policy of the Southern farmer is to make , his farm self sustaining and make his cotton his surplus. 7. It declared in favor of the or ganization of fanners. S.

STATEMENT Ol" ITS VALt'AIII.E RESOURCES AND THE OPPORTUNITIES IT OFFERS. The State of North Carolina haa a grievance. It thinks that its advan tages as a permanent home, its attrac tiveness as a fcummer resort, its rich ness as a repository of mineral wealth, and its adaptability to all the demands which agriculture forestry, mining or manufacturing can make upon it, hare been ignored too long, and it has gotten up a ' boom" to counteract this slight and give the State the industrial im portance to which it is entitled. With this end in view the State has estab lished a Bureau of. Immigration at Raleigh, with branch oflices at various points in the North. One of these is at No. 22 Dey street, and is under the direction of F. K. McAllister. This gentleman aud his manager, N."W. Schenck, have made a special study of the resources of North Carolina, and in the course of a conversation with a Tribune reporter Mr. McAllLter spoke of them a8 follows: ' North Carolina is spar.-ely settled and it is a strange fact that, although it is three times as largo as Massachusetts, its largest city, Wilmington, boasts of only 20,00 i) inhabitants This is due to thi fact that the State has been practi cally inaccessible to the railways until recently, and it was only in 1880 that the vast western portion of the State was opened up by a railway. In the matter of climate it is especially well provided, since there are no less than four distinct e iimatos, with all the va riety ef natural products incidental to each. The advantages of this arrange ment aie evident and give the State excellent opportunities Ur producing great varieties of cureals aud fruits, lhe Stite ii rich Li natural products of all kinds and its v lrietios of timber trees are aim out numberless. As re gards its water power, it is a remark able fact that a:i estimate by tho State geologist goes to t-how that North Caro lina has in its waterfalls more horse power than is contained in the steam engines of every kind employed in tbe L'oited States. " K ft rring to lhe m i nei al s of llieState, Mr. McAllister said that they were a'o.i'eb.ii1 itii.i well distribute I oyer the it: ire an a iron ore abounds," said he.

By the middle ol next month large areas of subinii; in.- territory will lie laid out for ovfter gardening, as that industry is practiced on Long I -.land Sound, and will bo ready for sale. In spite of all these attractions tho State is poor, be cause it wants men farmers, artizans, manufacturers. thrifty, industrious workmen of all kinds. It would be a paradise for tho new American party, because the last census shows that of all the States North Carolina has the larg est native born population and the smallest foreign element. The price of land ranges from S3 to 850 per acre and is being rapidly taken up by an enter prising people." New York Tribune. The Two New Hanks.
