There is a lesson to the Southern when we say Southern farmer do not confine ourselves to North Carolina, but include the entire the facts and authentic statistics we are going to here publish. The cotton crop of 1889, produced in the South, sold for How much of that vast sum went lo the Northwest for all of which could bare been raised in the South, would be interesting to know. We do know, however, that but an insignificant portion of this was realized as a profit to the farmer, when he have received all of it. cotton planter can raise all the corn, oats, wheat, hay, bacon, beef and mutton, and mules and horses needed on the farm, cheaper than any one or all of these are produced in the States from which they are purchased. There is no part of the South cannot be grown profitably and it is a crop that not interfere with cotton, for it can be planted worked before time for planting cotton; and before tho cotton is the farmer, corn can be out of the way, with but little more work required until it is gathered, and that may be delayed, if necessary, until cotton picking is well nigh over. Excepting droughts, which seldom seriously effect the corn crop in the South, and then only in localities not generally large, there is no farmer in all this section but can make more corn than is required on farm without the slightest interference with his cotton crop. And where the corn crop from any cause should be cut short in a particular locality, the farmer should not need to go out of his neighborhood to get his wants supplied. OVER THE STATE.

Their crime was the ling of their four year old sister. On one occasion the two boys with a younger brother, started to a field to work.

The middle boy became enraged and see- a pine stick with a heavy knot on one end struck her a blow in the back. The pointed knot entered the small of the girl's back and killed her.
