In France the case is the sensation of the day. was a young man who was handicapped by the disadvantage of having too much money. Unfortunate- he inherited great wealth and his manner living made nous. When the time came for him to serve in the army he tried to be relieved on the ground of physical disability, and many reputable physicians certified that he was unfit for military duty. Hut the people and the newspapers raised such a clamor that the minister of war was afraid to do the man justice. The millionaire conscript, though from consumption, had to go into the army, and then to a hospital. Time and again the doctors begged for his re- lease, but authorities refused. The young man had toy much money. If discharged the newspapers would be certain to accuse somebody of accept- a bribe, and no one eared to face the consequences. Several persons, including society ladies arid journalists, fleeced the his death bed out of millions, promising to secure his release, but their efforts were unavailing, and he died in the hospital. His sweetheart left her position in a theater and went to bis bedside to nurse him, remaining with him to the last. She now refuses to accept his fortune which he bequeath- ed to her. Since there is a re of public feeling, and it is now the general verdict that the authorities treated him very unjustly. It is one of the few eases in which a clever man was persecuted to death because he had too much money. IX NORTH CAROLINA Matters of Interest Over the State.

To his amaze- he found them both dead, Their houses were about twenty feet apart. Both bad died the night previous 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 Gen.

The old man was now angry and disgusted. He had his horse brought and swore that he would get back his money or die in the attempt. The boys said nothing. Toward sundown their father rode leisurely back, his face beaming with smiles. The boys began to speculate on the result, and Jim said well, and let the old man out wit father, you got your money, did you they both broke forth in one breath, my sons, I was wrong and you were right.

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.

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.

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.

Thompson came and asked me why I was not at the hall the night before. She then went in the hall and I behind her. remained at ti. hall until about o'clock, went home with Miss Mary Crawford. Don't remember that I left the house for a minute, can't say whether I went out to get cigarettes or not, may be mistaken. Can't recall if I went to W. A.

Never made any bargain to kill, rob, break open stores, or anything the 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- quiet Solomon and Hay wood Jenkins, colored, boys Uriah said be was with on one of the nights Credle implicated said they did not go hunting with Uriah but one night last fall, and that was Thursday night before the first Sunday in November. Their father, who is a preacher, fixed the time by one bis to he went then. C Stephens testified that Brant- went to Credle in the woods on Thursday of the week before the the time Credle stated the was first made to him to join the band. Witness said he saw them talk- together the wood, as he passed in sight on two occasions, and they showed surprise when they saw him, 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. Dudley said Uriah bought two pistols from him about a month before the murder, and one on Friday before and the same day, he sold to Brantley. stated positively on the stand that he did not buy a pistol the day before the This witness also stated that on Sunday night he saw Uriah under the stoop at store alone, that Credle and Paul were under there that Uriah came the second time with Henry Bonner. Either time he was in a feet of Credle. said he did not go there. It is when Credle said Uriah gave him the 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 for the State, The aged father of the murdered man has been a constant attendant upon the trial. At one time in the speech reference was made to Mr. Bonner's closing his work for the week, and starting home to spend the night and the Sabbath with his family was struck down by and as these words fell from the speaker's lips the aged man was noticed weeping.

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. What is the necessity of waiting thousands and thousands of dollars worth of property Hill have been con- by the flames before realizing this prime necessity The man or the men who will give Greenville an supply of water will in my SAML T.

During the late summer and fall, in a section of eastern North Carolina, an epidemic among horses has annually curred amounting to a loss each year of perhaps per cent.

The animals are simply turned a rough shed to cat. then turned out exposed t wind, rain and sun. Wherever they are stabled it is claimed they are never as shown by tho experience of one farmer who has not lost a single ease several years.

There are man who haul wood to this city at 82.00 to per cord and buy timothy hay at per ton to feed their teams. Corn stalk are left to fall down in the field by them and their neighbors. It is fairly capable of demonstration that wasted stalks if fed with a meal ration can replace the hay at a lower cost for the ration than hay, corn and oats as fed. You asked for commercial value when it seems comparative feeding value is what is desired. timothy hay outranks all others. That is the kind to raise to sell, but to feed at home would lie a different When the climate would suit, earlier grasses would used some others would be grown with timothy.

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.

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 Entomologist; also planting, 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 known, are the Peach lows, brown rot, peach scab or mildew, peach leaf disease, root rot or The New York law for 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 by frosts. Only a limited edition of this bulletin is issued and parties in this state to read it had best apply at to Dr. H. B. Director, N. C. and The Station will be glad to extend Its usefulness by as far as questions agricultural neat by any in North Carolina who may to ask for information. Address all questions to the North Carolina cultural Station. N. C. R -piles will be written as early as by the of Station stall most competent to do so, and of general Interest, they will also appear In those columns. The Station desires in this way to enlarge its sphere of useful pass and render immediate to practical farmers. 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.

It is red clay with almost no sand at all, in fact in many places there is no Mud at all. Would it be an advantage to this land to subsoil it lam trying the experiment of raising late Irish potatoes for our home S. N. C. Answered by W. F. Massey, N. C. Experiment Station. It will certainly pay you well to sub- soil this land this fall as soon as It would been far better for the potato crop if you had gotten a growth of clover or peas on it this sum- had some vegetable matter to plow nuder for tho potato crop. I would advise to plow the land at once and sub- soil it, and sow rye on it to be plowed under in the spring, so as to give you some vegetable matter for the potatoes. The red land would be more by tho same treatment any other. A good growth of peas the summer be- fore, followed by crimson clover sown among the peas in August and plowed under in the spring will be tho best preparation for tho potato crop, and if on the peas you apply a good dressing of acid phosphate and of pot- ash, you will get better results on the potato crop than by applying all the fer- to the potatoes direct. is nothing like a good coat of matter for the potato crop.
