Blooms Found On One
Stalk.
The first cotton boll of the season
was brought to New Bern yesterday
from the famous Ravenwood farm,
located near Polloksville in Jones coun
ty and which is owned by a company
of which J. W. Stewart and C. E. Foy
of .this city are members. Three hun
dred acres of this splendid planattion
are planted in cotton ad at present
the majority of the stalks are about
four feet in height and are in fact . ell
developed.
The boll seen here was remarkably
well developed and Mr. Stewart stated
that on one stalk he counted one hun
dred and thirty-live blooms In addition
to the lrge acreage in cotton found at
Ravenwood, there are also one hundred
acres in sojer beans, one hundred acres
in peanuts and two hundred acres in
corn. Each of these crops are flourish
ing and the owners expect that when
the harvest time arrives .the amml
of product gathered from each will
' be larger than ever before.
Ravenwood farm has attracted at
tention from farmers all over the
United Stztes. A few months ago
Bion H. Butler of Raeford, N. C, paid
the farm a visit. Mr. Butler ha
visited large farms in the North and
West but, so he stated, never had he
seen any plantation which surpassed
Ravenwood and so enthused was he
that he wrote a page article on the
subject for one of the State papers.
This magnificent plantation is in charge
of VV. H. Allsbrock of Edgecombe
county. iStfyf! i

Representative Graham, Of Pen

Oratorical Speech.
The local police have about given
up all hope of apprehending the negro
who on last Sunday morning fired a
load of buck shot into the heart of
Tony Rogers the night watchman em
ployed at the plant of the Pine Lumber
Company. Two arrests have been made
but both men proved beyond a doubt
.that they were not the guilty party
Tom Fenderson was arrested a short
time after the shooting and carried
before several gentlemen who saw the
murderer flee and they positively stated
that he was not the man. . Later Mit
chell Bryan, a stepson of the murdered
man was taken into custody but he
proved an alibi on the flight of the
"murder and was also released. The
Pine Lumber1 Company have .offered
a large reward for the apprehension of
the slayer, and there is a possibility
that he will , yet be .apprehended, v

VASHINOTON, July 11. The
House of representative have
wiped away one more of the bitter
memories left by the Civil Way by
passing a measure which takes from
the statue books a law prohibiting
the payinent of accounts and' claims
to anyone who encouragfd or favored
the "rebellion." Representative Gra
ham, a Republican from Pennsylvania
presented the bill under a supen
sion of the rules and made a short,
intensely dramatic speech in its favor.
Applause Was tumultuous from both
sides of the chamber and the liill pass
ed unanimously.
Southern men left their seats and
t r nvueu arounn Representative .ra
ham to shake his hand. The speech
was as follows
i ue inn is intended to repeal sec
tion J4SU ot the Kei.ed Statues,
which imposed a penalty upon those
men, graduates of West Point, vh

came this punitive stame. Thing
have changed since then. The half
century and more which has passed
has brought, together the warring
combatants of Gettysburg to weep
and cheer in unison upon that fateful
field.
1 had the privilege and pleasure
of attending at Arlington the seen
incident to the dedication of a beau
tiful Confederate monument, erected
in a governmental burial place, dedicat
ed to the soldiers and men of the
south who fought against and who
lie side by side with the Union soldiers
of that war. Memorial day has just
passed, with all its hallowed associa
tions and memories. In the beginning
every flower that fell upon a soldiers
grave was drenched with, grief and
perhaps touche d with bitterness. But
here again the scene changes we of
the north began to better understand
the men of the South and they of the
South to understand and soon we saw
northern attendants upon this cere
mony decorating graves of Confede
rate dead, and then the chivalrous
people of the South responding in :ike
spirit and decorating the graves of
Union soldiers.
Scenes of Reconciliation
"We have witnessed within a very
few months scenes of reconciliation,
harmony and love at Gettysburg and
frequently noted men on one side sur
rendering to men on the other side
the 'battle flags which were tern from
each other in the heat of battle.
"I feel that the spirit of the immor
tal Lincoln is invoking us in the ex
ercises of our better selves to play upon
those 'mjstic chords' of memory to
day.. Let us unanimously; if it may,
wipe from the statue bioks this penalty
the offspring of the feelings which the
bitter strife of war engendered and left
nowfor more than half of a century
upon'the statue books of the nation.
This will promote a finer feeling every-'
where, north and south. He who gives
is twice belssed; he who receives has
the psirit of gratitude created. .. . I
could read from' a number of letters
here, from no less distinguished a
person than - the widow of that .brave

'Stonewall Jackson.'; Speaking of this

start on those grown out in the open.
