their apparent willingness to attack

already recovered, and their force op
posing General Wheatoii' composes prac
tically tho entire insurgent army of

MUSICAL PUNISHMENT.
Did you ever hear of "playing a child
-goods'" Here, says a writer in the New
York Press, is an instance, related of
herself by Emmy llendren, now Mrs.
Gwathufey: "As usual I was seated on
I lie topmost plank of the fence about the
parade grounds, while with my feet 1
mechanically beat au accompaniment
against the lower rail to the music. So
lost was I in this bright world that 1
was almost .startled-by the pleasant
-voice of an officer beside me: "So you
liko"'Yanke Doodle?" ho asked ine,
with an amused air. "Yes, sir,' I prompt
ly replied; I just love music, jewsharps
and brass bands and organs and all
kinds, and when I'm very bad at homo
they play me good.' Hay you good?"
ho interrogated, with rather a puzzled
'..air. 'Yes, sir, it is just this way: in-
stead of punishing mo they put me on a
sofa and play easy, soft music, ami,
somehow, it makes mo gooder and ffood
ier.'" v FAIR AND AA AIfMER.

District Attorney C. M. Bernard to
day received n report from Detective
George O. Barker of the United States
secret service notifying him of counter
feiting which is being carried on by 111"
convicts on the Castle Haync farm.
.Detective Barker discovered .'hat a
convict named Frank Blackburn li.i-l a:i
outfit and was making these counter
feit coins in halves, quarters and nick 'K
Blackburn used the spurious coins he
made in playing crap and other games
with his fellow convicts. About sire
dollars of this worthless money vas
found in the possession of the variou.i
convicts. None of the money, however,
had got outside the prison walls and was
merely used to augment the circulating
medium in the prison camp which w.is
found entirely loo contracted to permit
a free display of polker and crap talent,
which seems lo abound among the Stat"
boarders '. Castle Ilayne.
Blackburn, tho convict counterfeiter,
is a white blacksmith serving a ti-e
year sentence for larceny.
Attorney Bernard was asked what
action he would take in Blackburn's
case, lie replied, "I may reipiest the
superintendent to allow Blackburn to be
taken Iiefore a United States commis
sioner and given a preliminary hearing
and then, alter his term has expired in
the jStatc prison, turned over to il.
government.

In discussing counterfeiting I'istriri
Attorney Bernard was asked about the
counterfeiting case in AVilmington. lie
says that Nicholas Cotsovelas, a Greek,
who was the main man in the affair is
under arrest in Xew York. Ho will l.e
brought back to Xorth Carolina finaiiv
for trial. Nicholas Pot eta was found
guilty in this case and given six year.i
in prison and fined $500 while Walter
Silvery got one year and one day and
.?100 fined. A J. Marshall, the Wilming
ton lawyer, who is charged with being
in cohote with the Greeks in their coun
terfeiting scheme was bound over to tho
next term of Wilmington court under a
3,000 bond. He was a lawyer of g od
standing before this came to light. Mr.
Bernard regards the evidence ag.rnst
Marshall as conclusive.
"Counterfeiting seems to lie quite
eoimnon." said the District Attorney.
"There is a case in the AVestern District
of a man at Charlotte changing one dol
lar bills to five with a pen. The work
was skillfully done."
Tho District Attorney "s-office has been

ever for the muddle over paying the State
prison warrant. "I have the money,
he said, '"and urn anxious to pay it out

is required is for the accounts to be
separated so that the warrant will show
that it is the account for either 1898 or
IS! I!). Each warrant must be for only
one year. It is easy to separate tlie
years and there- is no reason why tho
claimants do not get their money."

Bulletin for Past Week Most
Encouraging.
IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
Vegetation Well Advanced Corn Good
Cotton Improving Worms and
Insects Apples and
Peaches Poor.
Tiie Weekly Crop Bulletin for the
wceking ending Monday, June 111, 1809,
says:
The reports of crop correspondents for
the week ending Monday, June 19, 1899,
with few exceptions, indicate very satis
factory progress in the growth of crops.
Tho temperature was considerably above
the normal from the 13th to tho 10th,
aDd maximum temperatures between 90
and 98 occurred generally; although a
decided fall iu temperature took place
the latter part of tho- week, Saturday
and Sunday especially being very cool,
the cool wave was practically over by
Monday (19th) and is not thought to
have checked growth materially. Fine
rains fell the early and1 latter portions
of tho week with sunny intervals. More
rain is needed along the southern coun
ties from Richmond to Mecklenburg, amt
perhaps iu other isolated sections, chief
ly on flio coast. Heavy washing rains
were reported on the 13th and 11th in
the following counties: Forsyth, David
son, Franklin, Person anil AA'arren.
where considerable damage to various
crops occurred. In these and a few oth
er counties grass and weeds have had
opportunity to grow, but generally the
crops throughout the State arc iu an un
usually good state of cultivation.
Farm work progressed nicely during
the week. Crops are in excellent condi
tion ami grew splendidly; in fact several
correspondents state that vegetation is
now as well advanced as usual at this
season, except cotton and gardens which
are still late. Harvest made rapid pro
gress; is over in the south, half finished
in the north-central portion of the State,
and commenced iu the west. Soma
wheat and oats have been housed and
threshing is beginning. Laying by corn
is now U'coming geue-ral; corn is doing
very well. The ravages by cut worms
on lowlands have been so great that
many farmers have plowed up bottoms
and planted over. Cotton is growing
very fast and will soon set squares in
the South. The last of the tobacco has
been transplanted; complaints of damage
to this crop by bud or wire worms and
grasshoppers are more numerous this
week, especially from northern counties.
The, heaviest shipments ot Irish pota
toes are over. Some sweet potato
sprouts and vines are still being set our.
Rice appears to have come out consider
ably since the rain. Planting field peas
continued. Vegetables aro late and
scarce in t ho west, where gardens suf
fered so much from drought. Hay will
be short of expectations, though n good
yield. Blackberries are ripening. Early
apples and peaches aro coming Into mar
ket and are of poor quality.
i .;. itworKiiTOX's charges.
Rev. Dr. I.. (!. Brouglitou appeared
at the meeting of the city council of
Atlanta yesterday afternoon in regard
to his charges against the Mayor of thai:
city. However, according to the Atlanta
Journal, he did not address the council.
Majvr AVoodard is sick at home so the

Before the council met Dr. Broughton
