Charlotte Observer.
The has been no little discussion
raised by the publication in the reports
of the of Labor that it
costs five and a half cents a pound to
produce cotton in North Carolina, but
the consensus of opinion is that in
1895 cotton was made at that cost. The
Commissioner of Agriculture in Texas
estimates that the farmers of that
State have made from to cents per
pound more they expected when
the crop was planted. This result he
attributes to the decreased acreage
and the small crop; he holds that
they would not have received more
than cents a pound had the crop been
an average one,
Commenting on this estimate, the
Commissioner says
planters are grumbling be-
cause they did not plant more cotton
and less corn. A little figuring would
show them that in proportion to the
increase in the cotton crop the price
would be reduced, and more money
would been required to cultivate
it and to gather it, which would leave
less profit. If the coming crop is in-
creased generally, as we hear some
farmers talk of doing, and a full aver-
age yield is produced, they will find
cotton below cents the current year.
The wise course for pursue
is to plant a sufficient crop of corn and
all other Kinds of crops needed for
home consumption and enough for
their non-producing neighbors, and
after that to devote their attention to
cotton, if they prefer growing cotton
for market to the raising of pork and

Special to
Washington, Jan. was
nothing of interest or importance brought
out in the trial yesterday. Eighteen
witnesses were examined, among them
Hugh Bell, brother of Uriah and Sher-
rill. but his testimony did not amount
to anything. All evidence intro-
was an effort to prove an alibi for
the Bell boys. Several character wit-
were put on stand who said
that Uriah and Sherrill had good char-
and nothing had ever been
brought against them before. There
was much in the evidence about what
transpired the Sunday night following
the murder and Thursday
week before the murder brought out in
the effort to prove that Uriah was not
present when the gang was conferring
en Thursday night, and that he did not
give Credle the store key on Sunday
night.
Both sides are claiming that the
side has failed to make out its case.
Counsel for defense say they
introduced good evidence of SB alibi
while the State thinks differently, and
counsel for the State believe they have
introduced evidence sufficient to convict
while the defense believes the contrary
to be true.
One of the witnesses tor the Bells, C
C. Sparrow said he was Dr. Smith-
wick's office the night of the murder,
saw Uriah passing and hailed him.
Uriah came in about o'clock, was there
an hour, but did remember
Uriah went out or not, about
o'clock these two with John Matthews
went in the country. He said that
Uriah did not seem excited. John
Matthews testified to the same facts.
Two other witnesses testified to seeing
Uriah in Thompson's store between
and o'clock.
Wallace Guilford said about dark
on Sunday night he and Henry
were going to Aurora, they over-
took Uriah, took him up and they were
together all night except a few minutes
when Uriah went off with his brother
Hugh. He said guarded Bonner's
store that night and Uriah did not leave
them but this one time. wife
is a sister of this
Henry Bonner testified to about the
same facts as Guilford. Said they were
sure Uriah did not leave them but
could not say as to other parties who
were there. They both stated that
Hugh and Uriah went off to get a gun
to carry to the store, and C. S. Dixon
testified that they borrowed his gun.
Hugh Bell testified that he and Uriah
went after the gun and carried it to the
store, then he and went home and
saw him no more until next morning.
He also Stated that he saw Sherrill in
Bonner's store the night of the murder
and asked him to go stay with him.
Sherrill said he did not know as he was
eons to take medicine. Bonner
came in while he was there. On cross
examination he said when he first saw
Sherrill after the latter was arrested it
was in the hall and he did not say he
could not prove where he was the night
the murder. might have said why
did you not accept my invitation to stay
with me that In answer to
the question he said he went home the
night of the murder just after o'clock
took off his shoes and was sitting in
front of the fire, heard a noise at the
window like the blinds turn; he went
out, looked around, saw no one, came
back and got a lantern, went to the
stables, cleaned tin in out, put saw dust
in them, and found his
wife asleep. He said he did not see
Uriah or Sherrill out there if he had he
would tell it. Said he had never been
out to stables at that hour before, hut
he kept keys to barn and stables and
always went out to lock up when he
came home. When asked he would
tell a falsehood to save his brothers he
said, don't think I would, but if
were placed in such circumstances I
might did
not tell me he did not want in
the store, but said I could the work
without
Some other witnesses testified that
Uriah was at the week be-
fore. Three colored testified
that Dave Watson said he was near
the Bells just before they were arrest-
ed, but could not hear what they said.
H. II. and L. M. Broom testified to the
good character of these three witnesses
and said Dave Watson's character was
not good for truth.

o'clock this morning and testified

Uriah was kept on the stand
the hour of adjournment of court yes-
evening. His counsel, J. E.
Moore, conducted the direct
and C. F. Warren the cross exam-
for the State. The cross exam-
occupied nearly four hours.
Uriah showed some nervousness at
times but soon regained self-control and
held up well.
Sherrill Bell was put upon the stand
to-day and made a statement about like
Uriah's.
Public opinion is very much divided
and it is hard to guess what will be
done with them.
Washington, Jan. is a
general impression here that the de-
lost ground yesterday by some of
the witnesses they placed upon the
stand.
Several witnesses were put on to
prove the character of the Bell boys.
All of them Sherrill said his
character was good, but several said
that Uriah had been wild since his
moved from Aurora to Hyde
One witness said that Uriah had
been wild for two years, and several said
he would get drunk and go to
festivals.
Sherrill Bell, who is only years
old, was put on the stand in his own
defense. He did not give as clear a
detail of his movements as did Uriah.
He was rather nervous during the whole
examination which lasted four and a
half hours. W. B. Rodman, for the
State, gave Sherrill a rigid cross exam-
and the witness could not be as
positive as to his whereabouts during
the times that Credle implicated him as
Uriah had been.
The last witness put upon the stand
for the Bell's Mrs. Ben Jones.
The defense wanted to prove by her an
alibi for Sherrill, but she did not give
a clear statement at all, and when she
left the stand it was generally believed
that she had injured rather than assist-
ed his side.
At o'clock the defense for the Bell
boys rested, having examined about for-
witnesses all for them.
E. S. Simmons, counsel for Brantley,
requested Judge Hoke to give him time
for consultation with his client before
entering upon his side of the, case, and
court adjourned until this morning
At the time of adjournment of the
court there was some excitement over
the impression that had gotten out that
Brantley was going to make a
Washington, Jan. court
opened yesterday morning Judge
asked if the defendant Brantley would
offer any evidence, and Brantley's
replied that he would offer none at
all.
The State then put on a number of
character witnesses to prove the
of other witnesses that were
examined for the State. All of
these witnesses proved good characters.
The defense in cross examination asked
the witnesses as to the character of the
Bells. They all testified that Sherrill
had borne a good character but that
Uriah had been wild for some time.
One stated that he was the worst boy
in Aurora.
The State also offered rebuttal
to contradict testimony offered
by the defense. It was proven that Mrs
Jones had made entirely different state-
from what she said upon the
stand. It was also testified that Ben
Jones was heard to say a week after
the murder that he knew nothing that
would help the Bells, but if he knew
swearing to a lie would get them out of
jail he would go to Washington the next
day and do so.
Peggy Moore, a colored woman said
she lives back of W. A. Thompson's
store and heard a buggy drive up near
her house the night th s store was en-
She looked out window and
saw the buggy, heard something
and talking, and they drove off rap-
idly. Next day she found the money
drawer near where the buggy stopped.
Two witnesses -said the colored woman
had told them about this.
B. T. Bonner said he heard C. C.
Sparrow say he bet that the
scoundrel to was
with him in five minutes after he killed
When Sparrow was on the
stand he had denied saying this.
When Sherrill was on the stand he
said he did not remember ever being at
Brantley's house. J. B. Whitehurst
said he had seen both the Bell boys
sitting around the fire in Brantley's
house smoking with him. Counsel
Moore for the defense wanted to know
of this witness why he had taken
much interest in the prosecution
Whitehurst replied, was foul-
murdered, and it is the duty of all
good citizens to see that the murderers
are punished. I want to see whoever
did it This statement was
followed by a burst of applause in the
court room and the Judge had to de-

nights Credle implicated

in sight on two occasions, and they

Brantley also asked him Sunday night
after the murder blood hounds were
to run a man down would he be arrest-
ed to which he replied yes.

two pistols from him about a month
before the murder, and one on Friday
before and the same day, he sold

Several times counsel for the defense
for the defendant Bells gave notice
that they would close their case. At
this announcement a hush fell upon the
audience which was broken by Judge
Hoke asking how many speeches there
would be. v Counsel for the State said
there would be four speeches on the
side of the prosecution, counsel for the
Bells said three on their side, and
counsel for Brantley said
in all eight speeches. The court then
instructed the counsel to proceed and
Solicitor Leary began the opening

WATER MOST IMPORTANT.
Mb. response to your
invitation for an expression opinion
in regard to the most urgent needs of
Greenville at the present time, I would
say that it seems to me there can be no
doubt as to the one prime necessity.
Many suggestions can be made of
our needs and all of them would be
real and important and would add
greatly to our future prosperity. But
first and foremost both point of time
and in act and want is a
supply of water- sufficient for every
need.
This has not been to me
by the recent fire but has been a grow-
impression for several years past.
Electric lights, good streets, are
needed, but they sink into nothingness
in comparison with the de rand for
water.
Investments in factories, dwellings
and enterprises of all kinds must make
this town a city of it ever becomes one,
but how can we expect a man to invest
his money here when he can at some
other place where the probability is ten
to one in favor of its security.

Answered by H. It. Battle. Director

Experiments conducted at tho Ala-
station show that approximately
times the quantity of nitrogen is
in the vines of cow pets in tho
fall than those left over to the following
spring. Tho reason of this is that the
nitrogenous materials are lost by de-
composition. The materials of a min-
character will be also lost from the
leaves being blown or washed to other
localities. We have gotten the best re-
from plowing under after the pea-
vines are ripe in the fall following with
wheat, and not allowing them to re-
main on the laud until the next spring.

Cultivation of the Peach Tree.
The North Carolina Experiment
Station has just published a special
on the of tho
peach tree, which includes articles
on the peach tree and its para-
sites by Gerald Botanist

and cultivation of the poach, by
W. F. Horticulturist. As this
bulletin may not of general inter-
est to all parts of tho state, it will
sent out only to those who make
for it. The different subjects
include apparatus and remedies
required to check insect enemies of the
peach, as well as fungous diseases. Tho
special insect enemies mentioned are
root borer, tho the June beetle,
the rose beetle, peach tree louse, period-
cicada, the soft scale, West India
peach scale, San Jose scale, parasitic
worms. The fungous
es described with remedies so far as

venting the spread of contagious dis-
eases among peach orchards is given in
full so that when tho industry becomes
of sufficient magnitude in this state,
similar laws may be inaugurated here.
Among the discussed tho
bulletin reference to the cultivation
of the peach the soil best adapted
for the orchard, varieties of trees to
plant in different sections of tho state,
when and how to prune, to fertilize,
and to gather and to ship the crop. The
extensive planting of the peach in the
east is not advised at this time. The
largest orchards in the state are those
in the sand hill regions of Moore and
adjoining counties, but many choice lo-
cations can be found farther we by
low valleys and sunny slopes,
which subject the orchard to

Trellis For Grapes
bought a small farm last spring and
on it I found quite a nice lot of very
trellis grapes, but they have been bad
managed, having been scaffolded and
never pruned. I want to train them upon
and prune as as it
to be done. Now, what direction shall I
stretch my wires north and south, or east
and west, and I have a fancy for
grape culture and would like to begin
right. Please give me what practical
formation the Station has to dispose of.
B. W. H. Merry Hill N. C.
Answered by W. F.
N. C. Experiment Station.
I am incline to think from a slight
experience that the trellis is the
best of training vines in
climate. This is the mode devised by
Mr a noted fruit grower at
Texas. The plan is to set posts along
the rows at moderate distances, and
from four to six foot high. On
posts cross pieces are nailed two feet
long, wires are stretched along the
of the tops of the p and from
the of the cross making
three horizontal lines wires a foot
apart. The vines oil
canes along the central wire, the
fruit wood is trained to the side wires,
are trained out annually to take the
places of those that have borne and are
to be cut away. We have some trained
this way at the Station and they do
well. never prune grapes here till
March, as those pruned in the fall are
apt to start untimely in, the spring and
get hurt by a return of cold. At that
late date the bleeding does not am
to much, as the foliage soon stops it.
any mode of training the main ob-
is to have a good of strong
one-year-old wood. If you train on a
trellis, run the trellises
north and south, so will not
shade the other. Stretch three wires
starling IN inches from the ground, and
a foot apart, and prune fan shape, cut-
ting out annually the wood that
borne and train up strong canes four
five feet long for the crop.
