planted all they could gather, ami to
speak truth, even more. 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

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

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

snake and captured It. He had It on
exhibition for a day or so at Archdale.
Dr. Burton saw the snake while yet
alive.
Lenoir News: Last Wednesday cf

self through the hand. He placed the
butt of his gun on a log and his html

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

other wife in South Carolina.

ELIMINATE THE NEGRO
FROM POLITICS IN N.

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

LNDERTAKING BEGtJN UNDER
FLATTERING AUSPICES.
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.
