From th to bacco growing counties east of her the increase mainly comes. The 10 per ent. very nearly corresponds with the acreage table mad up in May. The condition is 81. Putting the increase in acreage and the figures as to present onditlun together, Mr.Patterson think the status of the crop now Is Just about what It was last year at this date, when, as will be rememberol. eotton was particularly promising. BULLETIN'S BPECIAL ARTICLE BY GEO. E. BOGG8, THE "APPLE KINO" OP N. C. Kalelgh. N. C, June 20.-The fact will be recalled that the repoit made to the legislature last week by its spe cial committee which Investigated the conduct of the agricultural depart ment by the fuslonists showed that the cost of the inspection of fertilisers dur ing the last year of the fusion regime was no less than 115,000. Great is the contrast. The present commissioner, S. L. Patterson, shows in his repoit that the cost this year, with a dozen inspectors in the field. Is barely 16000, or only 40 per cent, of the fuslonlst ex penditure. On this one Item, alone the Democrats have saved $9000. The July bulletin of the agricultural department will be largely a resume of the fertiliser analyses made during the ytar. , More than 800 brands of fertil lxer are now sold In the state. There have been made this year twice os muny analyses as were made during the last year of fusion control. Secretary Hooker of Senator Butler's personal staff arrived today to take a desk at Populist headquarters and will be on duty there until after the Augus.1 election. Dr. Adolphua J. Battle, a native of Wake Forest but for many years res ldent at Wadesboro. died at the latter place yesterday. This morning his body was taken to Wake Forest for burial.

Shelton, several of the well known Fries family and others i stockholders. The state exposition of 1884 here was so great a success that it Is really re markable another has never been held The building or the greater part of it yet stands. It Is In need of much re pair now. The number of Inmates of the Calh ollc orphanage or protectory here ts to be largely In creased. It ts said that most of inn Inmates are Protestants. It Is a nobli charity. The situation of the buildings Is particularly fine. There is a large and well cultivated farm. The making of rag carpets Is one of the new features at the hospital fcr the Insane. The Democrats here are now giving special attention to the matter of reg istration, ns the books open June 28 nd will be open 20 days, Sundays ex oepted; in other words, will close at unset July 21. Since the departure of the legislature I' Is "deadly dull" In the news world here. At the state departments It Is humdrum routine. II was expected that the fast tralu southbound, on the Seaboard Air Lino would bring the New York papeis cf the day so as to have them hero at 7:65 p. m., but as yet there v no mall on these fast trains.

We are no: goin to verify aiy.Mvg In icgard to ihtioop buil ness, but as to the horned snake we have positive evidence.

Dr. Burton saw the snake while yet alive. Lenoir News: Last Wednesday cf ternoon, whlb out hunting, Mr. Pink Swanson, living a few miles south ot town, had the misfortune to shoot htm self through the hand.

The ball, a small one, passed through the hand, breaking two of the bones. Dr. Shell attended him. Newton Enterprise: From the Lln- colnton Journal we learn that the man suspected of a horrible crime near Iron Station, where a woman was cut to pieces with a razor, Is named Jackson a brother-in-law of the woman he came so near killing. It seems that he had soms months before married a sis ter of the woman, who left him be cause she discovered that he had an other wife in South Carolina. Lenoir News: Last week, while working at Mr. Jim Trlplett's saw mill on the Yadkin Valley, Isaac Love, colored, had the misfortune to get his log broken. Some logs were piled up In the yard and by some means the prop that held them was knocked down, causing them to roll, and one rolled over the unfortunate man's leg, break ing both bones.

IT WILL PROVE A BLESSING TO ALL RACKS. Editor The Citizen: Will you be so kind as to allow tne a little space In your paper for the benefit of both Dem ocrats and Republicans In order that they nHy know how I stand. I abso lutely refuse to affiliate with any party except one, and I can't see any pull- tics in that; that Is White Supremacy. I firmly believe that when the negro Is eliminated from politics It will be a blessing to all races. Nevertheless It Is quite exciting to Mr. Prltchard and Pearson. They know, that as soon as North Carolina has gone for White Supremacy 80.000 negroes will be knocked out of the box. and they will step dow n and out. I am happy to In iorm you mey win nave to take a walk. Respectfully yours, R. 8. BALL. TWv POINTS OF VIEW, From the Chicago News. 4 Your eyes remind me of a bottle of champagne. " She And why, pray?

Pharlentnn S C June 20 There is ifow every indication that the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition company, when organized nVxt Thursday evening, wl(l have on its stock books considerably more than $200,000. The authorized capital stock Is only $250,000 and It Is entirely possi ble that the full amount may have tx-en subscribed when the meeting is called to order In German artillery hall. Excellent reports are expected from the various lists in the several counties of South Carolina and the figures at the office and In sight put the total at $208,000 and there is much more coming. The organization meeting will be one of the most Interesting events in the history of Charleston. Subscribers ev erywhere have been Invited to 'be pres ent and considerably more than a ma jority of stock will be represented. A president, board of directors and other officers will be elected and the splendid project will be launched with all due forms and ceremonies. And when the actual work ot prepar ing an exposition Is on, a backward glance will show that never was such an undertaking begun oinder more flattering auspices. Again, the plans are broad and the prospects for a mag nificent exhibition are unsurpassed. The exposition is intended to illustrate the wonderful variety and wealth of southern resources and manufactured products. Especial, attention will be given to the cotton industry, the grow ing of the staple and the making of It Into yarns, cloth, etc. Agriculture will naturally be an Important feature con sidered, for until recently the south was almost strictly an agricultural section. Mining will be treated more In the wealth of resources than re sults obtained, as South Carolina and her neighboring states have countless millions in undeveloped minerals. Horti culture and floriculture will naturally receive attention, for this is the gar den spot of the world. The liberal arts In all their variety of Interests will be accorded full space and fine arts will not be neglected. The United States has been asked to make an exhibit costing $250,000, and this will In all probability be granted at the fall session of congress, having al ready been favorably reported in the senate. Exhibits will show the industries, resources and possibilities of Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines. It Is Intended that the strides made In education within the century will be demonstrated by exhibits from Clem son Agricultural college, Wlnthrop Normal college, the State Colored col lege and other Institutions. All those, and many other features will be ar ranged and placed for the edification and Instruction of the visitors to the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian exposition, In Charleston, S. C, December, 1901, to May, 1802. KICHEY TEQUELES OF WC"EN Was Frederick's Uttrn Show Bow fih Belted aa Mrs. Plnkhass and Was Cnrvd.
