Of these 881 are on the great State farm, known as Culedonle" on the Roanoke river. On this farm there are this year 8.000 acres In corn, 1,400 In cotton and 400 in pea nuts. The cotton crop will be somewhat short but yet a thousand bales will be made where 1,200 were expected. The other crops are Very good. In the conree of the questions asked the official It wu learned that the financial stand ing of the penitentiary is extremely good, that all debts 're paid, including the bin for fertilizers, and that there is $30,000 to the credit of the penitentiary, As yet nothing of the pn sent crop hu been sold. Ot the accounts due none are bad ones. The brick making at the prison here this year has paid very well lndeed,about two and a bait millions of brick having been turned out. The tales have been very utisfactory. One. million brick were sold to Mr Ashley Home at Clay ton. fofln oil mill there.

Abyuinla la one, and were an American fugitive to reach Addis Aba ba he might remain there the rest of bis life without fear of molestation. In the West Indies are two republics ln which the American evil doer is al most as securely safe. One is Haiti, and the other is Santo Domingo. Both are usually to torn by revolutions that the existing government is almost on recognizable. In consequence both are favorite resorts for American adven turers and fugitives of the more enter prising sort One American who left New Orleans inconspicuously because of a little difference with the law rose to high rank in the Haitian army and was eventually killed ln- a fight with revolutionists on tbe Dominican bor der. The little republic of Ban Marino, ln the south of Europe, Is another secure stronghold for American fugitives, but it is so smaU that the average evil doer does not seek It out for fear that he may toss In his sleep and roll over its frontier into Spain. And far to tne eastward there is Sarawak, ln the East Indies, where an Englishman holds forth as absolute monarch and every stray soldier of fortune Is wel come. Were be to be a daring knave, an American fugitive might find safety, at least from American Justice, in a dozen or more of the queer nations of central Asia, though it is more than likely tbat the natives would soon finish him. In Afghanistan tbe ameer would be glad to see him, and ln Baluchistan tbe rulers of the state would treat him as a distinguished visitor. In Tibet prop er he would be under tbe eye of tbe Chinese authorities, but outwardly Tibet is not Chinese territory, and the treaties with China do not affect It High up on the central Asian table land are perched Kafrlstan and Tur kestan, neither of which recognizes even the existence of the United States. Southeast of Arabia Is tbe Independent kingdom of Oman, and toward the north are Bokhara and Khiva, vassals of Russia, but still not affected by Rus sian treaties. And in Africa there Is the vast expanse of the Kongo Free State, unhealthy, maybe, but still safe. In the west are Borum and Waday, Independent kingdoms, and Kanem' and Bogtrmi, no man's lands.
