LosK, Dec. 4. James G. Stowe,
Trial ForSwiadling Through Mails.
State Hoard Beport Matter
of Sale White Oak Swamp
- Unda. , Will Tote
For Boada.
Special to Journal: . - -
Ralbiok, Deo. 7. Much aatlsfaolion
is expressed at the decision of the State
Board of Agriculture to establish a flsh
hatchery at Avoca. The United States
baa had a hatchery across the river from
that place, and it has not proved a suc
cess, but the Bute will have better for
tune. A number of years ago Its hatchery
there was very successful.
In the federal court here today the
trial of J. L. Tork of Fayettevllle began
the charge being using the malls tor a
swindling scheme.
Adjutant General Royster (a here. He
says the report of the First Regiment of
the State Guard, which at present has
only 10 companies, shows 466 officers
and enlisted men.
The State board of education has made
sale of the White Oak Swamp lands, in
Onslow and Jones counties, for $36,000
There are alleged to be 124,000 acres, but
It Is said there are really only 110,000.
The lands are claimed by C. S. Vedder of
Charleston S. V under a grant of 1795.
The State claims them,' uader deeds
made by sheriff In 1709 and 1600, to gov
ernors William R. Davie and Benjamin
William i, for non-payment of taxes. It
Is said that a man In 1705 made entry of
all the swamp lands In Jones and Onslow
and sold them to the man for whom
Vedder claims title for $100,000. K. S.
Finch got an option of the lands recently
but sold it for $178. As the lands
are In dispute the State agrees to sell to
a trustee, getting, as stated, $26,000, ol
which $1500 Is in cash. Then Veddor
can sell his interest to the same trustee
for whatever he can get. It Is the pur
pose to get the timber from the lands,
which are useless for any other pur
pose.
The Board of Agriculture decld ed to
submit to the legislature a provision for
the fixing of a standard for fertilizers.
The matter will go before the legislature
In January.
The State Superintendent of Public
Instruction says he Is confident the rati
fication of the franchise amendment will
result In a notable stimulation of public
education. It is certain, that more money
will be given to the public North Car
olina, more populous than Virginia,
Eirea only half as much to the common
schools.
The aggregate capital of the .wood
working establishments chartered by
this Staie-lhts year Is $975,000.
The Supreme Court will next week
take up the last of lha appeal dockets,
that of the 12tu district. It will proba
bly end the fall term about Dae. 22.
There Is no doubt that Raleigh will
vote next year for another $100,000 bond
issue for street Improvements. ' The
macadamising of streets hat been push
ed rapidly this year. Vssl quantities of
stone hare been taken from ths city'
gran lie quarry and crashed or out.
the United Stales Consul General at
Cape Town, landed at Southampton to
day, wearing the Identical coat which
he wore when the Boers attacked his
train while he was on his way to F-Bennle Fiancls. M. V
. ichmi. uu .wui uimiuu. o. uuuei Henry Ftword.
note in me couar 01 nis coat tesiinea
to
the narrowness of his escape.
Mr, Stowe is taking "a long-delayed
leave of absence, and will sail for
the United Statea on Dec. 15 on the St.
Louis. -He said:
"I give the war in South Africa four
months to come to an end. In my opin
ion, it is bound to be snuffed ont during
that period. I do not believe Lord
Kitchener will do much more than any
other General. The present plan of the
British campaign Is bound to bring about
results. Moreover, there are 16,000
Boer'prlsoners in Ceylon, St. Helena,
and Cape Town, all of whom are anxious
to have an end of hostilities.
Shortly before I left there Christian
Botha, a Cousin of Louis Botha, got up a
pettlon among his fellow-prisoners at
Cape Town urging .the Commandant
General to make peace. A majority
signed the petition, which undoubtedly
represented the aggregate opinion of
the Boer prisoners.
All this talk about burning farms Is
buncombe. The only farms destroyed
are those from which shots are fired at
the British or those which are being
obviously used to shelter the Boers."
Mr. Stowe commenced to relate several
Instances where the British bad good
excuse for burning farms, but refrained
He said he did not believe the rumors of
sedition In Cape Colony would result
to much.
"I have friends among the Boers as
well as the British. I have been strictly
neutral throughout, and I tlj not believe
that the colonists have any intention of
cutting their own tbioats. Splendid
commercial opportunities are belli
opened up In South Africa, of which the
United States is only just beginning to
take advantage. As soon as the fight
Ing Is over South Africa will be ono of
the best markets in the world, a market
where the British themselves admit that
we are already outstripping them."
