Raleoh, Sept. 27 -The other day Secretary of State Thompson had a let ter from Rer. Geo. L. Dickinson, of Whateley, Mass., In which the latter asked about the number of ''mountain eers' in this Stale and the extent of their Illiteracy, and asked whether in dustrial schools were not needed. Dr. Thompson's reply is In part: "I judge you are under the impression that the mountaineers of North Carolina are es sentially barbariaus. This is a very Berious mistake While there are a great many illiterate people in the mountains there are also a great many educated people, and for sturdiness of stock and excellent common sense there are no people in this country who surpass the mountaineers of North Carolina. This section of the Slate baa developed very materially in the past 23 years In every way, but It has always furnished men of marked ability and patriotism for the service of their country. Oue of tne Senators from North Carolina at present is a man who came up out of the poverty and illiteracy of these mountains. Z 1! Vance, late Senator andex-Qoveruorand a man known throughout the country and the best beloved perba,s of any North Carolinian, camo out of tbo heart of IhiB rugged mountain region. I sug gest that you make a trip to Atheville and explore the country loun I about in order that you may have a correct idea of tbe field which you desire to culd vate." Dr. Thompson goes on to s that there are excellent training pcliool for whiles and blacks In operation In the Stale. Hardly any cotton is coining on the market here. Dealers are astonished They And that ii is the case eluewharc and that the farmers are holding their crop to an extent heretofore undreamed of. Dealers said today it looked like the farmers had formed n trust. A large uumber of students fur the Baptist Female Uuivcrsiiy have ar rived. In the Supreme Court the shell fish commissioners case Is being argued. Macltae & Day appeared for the old or fusion board and .Simmons & Pou for the new or Democratic board. The Attorney General says that his decision that a menagerie is taxable un der section 14, of tbe revenue act, will bring the State quite a lot of money from circuses. The rain has no doubt done considera ble damage to cotton, ao much of which is open. The wind blew down a large oak In a few yards of tbe capital and its limbs nearly touched the auditor's of tice. . The Supreme Court yesterday took up appeals from the riri-l district. It called the case involving J0,0JO damages to the Ice plant here. This it the casu In which a YVaku Jury gave the llygeiue Ice Company, of Charleston, $30,000 dama ges for the burning of lis Ice factory here by sparks from a Seaboard Air Line locomotive. Tbo railroad appealed, but did not perfect ihu appeal within ths time limn, men lue ice company claimed tbe money. The railroad look the case before a judge In the Injunction groceedlngs. The judge said be could not reinstate the case. Then the rail road appealed from him to the Supreme Court. This court today afler calling the caso, set It for hearing next Salur day. Lewis Summerill's libel suit against two newspapers here does not come up until March Summerlll Is luesupervlsor at the Northampton penitentiary farm. Forty convicts were sent from AiUpole on the Atlantic Coast to the Tlllery farm ou the Roanoke, to pick cotton. The making np of uniforms fer the cadet corps at tbe Agricultural and Me chanlcal College begin (his week. By tbe time of the State Fair the battalion will be ready. Adrlll Instructor will be named In a few days, It Is thought. The brief In the railroad tax Injunc tion case, which were argaed before Judge Slmonton at Asbevllle, have not yet been filed. .

JIHT LIKE IlfWKV. Ta Be Ahead. A Chance To Clean Up. Oljrntpla Id Floe blmpe. i I Naw Yolik, Sept. 46. "Is be here?! Well, It's like Deweyl" S-o? the hero of Manila had arrived In the I tower bay. Just a he had tlolen In on tbe Span ' lards at Manila, the bold Admiral steam ed Into New York waters early In the morning, and at 8 a. m. he cast anchor near Sandy Hook. I The first shout of welcome waa from the pilots and crew of Pilot Boat No. 7, IS miles south of the Hook lightship. It happened to be i'ilot John Peterson's turn, and at 5.80 a. m. be was put aboard the Olympla and brought her around the Hook and into the lower bay. The marine observers along the coast hid sighted tbe Olympia in the tlrsl light of the morning. The shore batteries of Frt Hancock, manned by gunners called from breakfast, let triosc 17 guns. Tbe flagship replied and let go her anchor not far from where the cup challenger Shamrock is moored. The Admiral was In hi own country agalu, after 83 month absence. "It al most sadden me," he ald, "to eee what my people are doing for me. The pride and gratification are Immejse and I can not express the appreciation I feel. I did not know, I did not really perceive unt'.l this morning the splendid welcome that my countrymen are giving me. The Oovernors of many states are coming to see me, and troops from Florida, Georgia and other far away Stales are on their way to take part in receiving me." "I am sorry that I am ahead of the schedule. The Olympia has been steam ing al the uniform rate of 10 knots an hour since we left Gibraltar. Several days ago we kuew that wc would arrive before Thursday unless we moderated our spued or went somewhere out of our course. 'But the consideration that really de- dided us lo come into port was to give Captain Larubertoa a chance to clean up tbe ship before our voyage up the har bor. Captain Lambcrton and I are proud of the Olyuipia, and we wanted enough time al our anchorage to rub her down and make ber look spick and span." Tbe Olympla looks as smart now as a yacht. Her anchors were hardly down before ber crew were washing the ship's white sides and touching up the stulns with paint. War la the Balance. London, Sept. 26 The general feeling including that of the pro-Doers, as Indi cated by articles In the afternoon news papers today, is that the published tils patch of the Secretary of Slate for tbe Colonies, M r. Chamberlain, lo the British High Commissioner In South Afrlcs, Sir Alfred Mllner, clears tbe way for peace if tbe Doers desire It. In any event It is pointed out, it affords further delay, which In the case of Great Britain is certainly advantageous, as it gives time for the reinforcement of the garrisons at the Cape. The papers generally, however.express the hope that President Kruger will now see his way clear to meet Great Britain's views. In the meanwhile, tbe dispatch of troops to South Africa proceeds unin terruptedly. Three field batteries ar rived al Birkenhead today and will em bark fer Durban Natal. A cablegram from Cape Town says: 'Quantities of stores and ammunition are leaving here dally. The movement of troops to Natal Is merely a precan llonary measure lo secure the coal mines and Is nowise In the nature of a menace There are no Imperial troops on the Im mediate border. Rumors of ' collisions should be received with caution. Vol In Iewj' Line.

The Craig Law. Kii.Eiou. Sept. 28 The farmers iu all this part of the Slate are holding cotton for a rise. They expect it lo go to 8 cent. Dealers here say the farmers are belter able to hold It than ever before. In some way there appears at last to be unanimity of action on the part of the farmer: There is a great rush for cot ton, but it is extremely hard to get. Senator Butler, befoie leaving for New York said he was not a candidate for Governor or any other office, notwith standing the assertion of J. C. L. Harris. Senator Butler has not decided where he will locate for the practice of law. Possibly here In Raleigh. State Treasurer Worth, while In New York, will look into matters regarding the engraving of the special bond issues which have never been executed by the American Bank Note Company. Kven tbe first Issue of $110,000 (penitentiary debt) has never been delivered- The purchasers of theso bonds were given 4 per cent Slate bonds, which they were willing lo receive. The Baptist female university here vim yesterday morning at 10 o'clock formally opened, with 114 boarding students present. The dedicatory exercises were held in the chapel, which was too small to accommodate the large audience which represented the other detiomina lions and schools iu the city. Mention has been made of a squatter named Hunter who has come from Col orado and pitched his tent en lands bought and paid for by the Agricultural and Mechanical college, claiming title under a deed dated last July, signed by Dr. Eugene Orlseom. Complaint was filed by attorneys for the college, against Hunter. This sets forth that thecollcgo owns tills land, three and one half acres, In fee simple, thut thirteen years ago deed was given by Orlssom for it; that this was lost or inula!. 1 and that last year Grissom refused lo sign a duplicate. It also sets forth that Urissom win three years ago declared a lunatic in Colorado: that he has ever since been insane and is now so, snd incapable of making any valid contract sr conveyance and that the deed to Hunter Is, therefore, null and void. The complaint further sets forth that Hunter knew of a prior deed lo tbe college and that undue Influence and power were used over Grissom to induce him to sign the last deed and that it was done without lawful consid eration. It is quite probable that early next month the old arsenal in the capital square will be torn down, the new quartermaster general la urging that there be no further delay and the stores there are being packed so they can be placed in a rented warehouse until the new arsenal is finished. Tho city will macadamize a roadway te the Methodist orphanago and aged mjnlslers's home, which Is a mile north west ef tbe Capitol. No less than forty floats have been secured for the great Industrial parade here Wednesday, October 18th. A Rich mond decorator arrived here today to arrange for tbe street decorations. The taxes on circuses are now higher ban ever before. Here the tax paid llil t week was ItOO United Stales, $200 State $200 county, and $ 157 city; total $037. In Durham county the sheriff was so thoughtless as t let the circus off with $50 Stale and 50 county. He will be out of pocket $150, for the Stale auditor says he will force him to pay the $100 State tax. Under the decision of the at torney general there 1 now also collectl ble $300 on menagerie. i Tbe Institution for the whVe blind Is si most completed and presents a very handsome appearance.

I Information from Bloeinfontein Ibis evening leaves little doulit tuat the Or ange Free State Yolksraiul is unanimous in supporting the Traansvanl More Important light is thrown on the situation by a frank statement today to the Associated Press by Sir Walter Peace agent general for Natal in London, who fought sgftinst Ihe Boers in formerjyears lis said: "The attitude of tbe Orange Free State means its inevitable acquisition by Great liritiiin. l'eaco in South Afiiea can only be accomplished by war. In my opinion a war wou.d not last more than two months, In order to make pacification effective, (ireat Britain must assume ab solute control over the whole of Soutli Africa." The Daily Telegraph publishes the following from its Cape Town corres pondent: "I regret to note a universal opinion that war is very near. Every where the Boers arc bellicose. They arc aiming, rquiping and storing supplies for a protracted struggle. 'The Transvaal government has failed in an attempt to purchase 10,000 sacks of wheat here, but ISoer agents are scour ing South Africa to buy campaign -provisions. Proof accumulates of the exis tence of a great conspiracy against Bri tish supremacy iu South Africa. The free Stale Is believed lo lie involved and there Is no doubt thai the Orange gov ernracut is intent on war. Many ltoers in the northern districts of Cape Colony are joining our probable enemy. The Ditch Republics will together be able to muster 35,000 men, nearly all mounted. I learn that the Free State has decided to put 10,000 into the field."

New Youk, September 28-Admiral Dewey and bis flagship Olympla moved up yesterday from the anchorage neur Sandy Hook, in New York Bay, lo the bead of the North Atlantic Squadron, off Tompkinsvllle, Statsn Island. As the Olympia aaised, all tbe war ships gave an admiral's salute of 17 guns The din was extraordinary and the bar bur was wrapped in smoke. Assistant Secretary of tbe Navy Allen visited the Olympia and welcomed the Admiral on behalf of the Navy Depart ment. Thousands of persons visited the Olympla in the afternoon and tbe bar bor was filled with boats. Rear-Admlral Howison.on bis flagship Chicago, arrived. He outranks Rear Admiral SampBon, but Admiral Dewey as ll e superior officer of both, takes command of the warships in the harbor so no embarrassing question of preced euce between Howison and Sampson I expei t (1 to arise.
