The supreme court expects to adjourn for (he term the first of next week and will probably file its last decision on Monday, A very sensational thing has occurred here which is causing ne little talk, I' no or three years ago the remains of a gentleman who formerly lived in Ral eigh and who died in New York were rcmatcd there and the ashes were brought here in an urn of bronze and were placed in one of the cemeteries, a mound of earth, like a grave mound being raised above. About a year ago the remains of a daughter of the gen tlenian were also cremated at . New York, brought here in an urn of the same kind and the ashes were placed in a grave beside that of her father. A few days ago some relatives and friends of the family, being at the eemetery, noticed that the grave mounds had been disturbed and made some inquiries, but were told that it was not at all proba ble that anything had happened. A day or two ago the grave in which the ashes of the young lady had been de posited was examined and it was found that some person or persons had taken off the turf, removed the earth and with a pick ax had broken through the cement which covered the opening in which the urn with tbe ashes had been placed and that the urn was gone. It was also found that an attempt had been made to thus enter the grave wherein is deposited all that is mortal of the father. The authorities have taken the matter in hand and arrests may follow. No such case has ever be fore oocurred here.

Gr.ensboro, May 2fi.- The clton market continues dull and the flo. '(na tions are very small. The "Insight Movement" to date is li.7,R70 .bales which indicates that when the final count is made, August St, the crop wiil show an excess of eleven million bales. No famine can occur on this crop, but the supply of good apinable cotton will not exceed the demand sufficiently, to cause holders to press their cotton for , sale, except on firm market;. The new crop is doing well, except in North Carolina, where dry weather ha pre- ' vented : germination, and retarded growth, and bad stands are reported from many sections. Rains however, have fallen in the past day or two and more cheerful reports should follow. Acreage estimates this week show increases of 2 to 3. per cent in planted acreage. The Governments estimate . , to be announced about June 4th or 5th ' awaited with much interest. ' -. ' Jones Democratic Convention The Democratic Convention of Jones county was held Friday.

Salt's Against Fertilizer Trusts (Special Correspondence.) RaleighMay 26. Raleigh this year suffered less than $300 loss by fire, the chief of the fire department says: This breaks the record for any five months. As yet it is not known when the en campment of the National Guard of the State will be held, whether in July or in August, but it will be in one of those months. There were little showers here today the farmers are hoping for a long rain, not a hard one, as that would literally wash away the extremely soft ground. Cotton is badly hurt in this section. Yet it can stand more punishment than any plant in the world. It is said the best crop in the State is perhaps in Mecklenburg, Anson and Richmond counties. State Auditor Dixon has prepared the blanks to be sent- out to corpora tions next week, on which the letter will base their reports for the year. Chief Justice Walter Clark has ac cepted an invitation to deliver an ad dress before the Mississippi State Bar Association at Gulfport, June 25th. It is Mow expected that the Supreme court will adjourn for the term Tues day morning at 10 o'clock, after filing its last decisions. No cases go over until next term. Deep regret is expressed here by the many friends of Judge Charles M. Cook at the death of his only daughter, who died at his home, Louisburg. Nothing has been heard during the past few days in regard to the move ment for the election on prohibition or dispensary, and there are those who say that nothing more will icome of the matter. Atone time there was much talk about it but now it has died out. Today there was considerable com ment on the suits against the fertilizer tru ts brought by the government There are various trusts here in this line, the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company realli controlling a number of so-called independent groups of com panies. In a special interview with Estate Chemist Kilgore it is learned that much work has been done in the way of mak ing maps of the soil surveys in this state. The map of Chowan county has just been completed. Acres equiva lent to sixteen counties or 17 per cent, of the whole area of the state have been made. Under the new sy ste m the surveyors are to be on a county basis. The following complete surveys of counties have been made besides Chow- These being Duplin, New Hano- . . . . 1 3 Tl ver, Alamance, rasquotanic ana rer- quimans. This particular arrangement was begun about a year ago. Before that time the topographic sheets some times covered two counties or more. There is a line of soil surveys from Raleigh to New Bern, while west of Raleigh a huge area has been surveyed in Alamance, another in Rowan, while further west the area around Asheville snd Mt. Mitchell, embracing several counties has been covered by survey. Tbe farmers are taking interest in this matter as the surveys show exact ly what the soils are and make it very easy to ascertain what the particular crops can be grown to advantage and what, constituents the soil needs to make' it fit for certain crops. The State Agricultural Department uses the sur veys as a basis for experimental work, in the location of test farm. These surveys are made in co-operation with the United States Agricultural Depart ment, such department furnishing one i. New areas are to be taken up and it is proposed to introduce in some of those new crops, notably bright to bacco. . IX- Chalrman Rollins Retires, Judge Adams Suc ceeds.
