Fulton of the Journal will, of course, prove tn.
most reliable witness of the two as he lived here
long time with Mr.. Caldwell, knows him well, and
can speak OF him from actual and personal acquain

and tell us what you think of Mr.. Caldwell

essential to MI Dockery's success, that say knoac

[Question BY the Court: that is to say by the
people
Mr. FaIton, how did you come by your informa-

from written declaration
Fulton of the Argus Neither sir. But here is
the git of the matter. MIR. Dockerv has but one

g We know that the really gallant Capt Caldwell
is not dlsunonist in any wrong sense of the word
We know he is willing, as matters stand to acqui-
good faith: yet he by no means pledges himself to
submit to any thing and every thing. Is there any
one that does! Or that having?done so, will come
before the people of the Southern States for their
port ~

The Court set aside the evidence of Fulton of the

The Crops, CoTToN-CoRN-ToBAcco
we understand the crops are uncommony promising
throughout the county. Under the new stimulus im-
parted 10 Agrculture-within the last few years
Edgecombe is rapidly rising to the position she is
destined in great while attain, that of the first
agricultural county TN he State. An improved system
OF farming is visible every where. Emigration has
almost wholly ceased and lands have appreciated in
value.
The Cotton crop, we learn, scarcely ever better.
The stands are good and the recent hot and dry
mosphere though deeterious to other field products
has been the natural almcnt Of the cotton CROP The
crop too is unusually large-probaby fourth larger
than ever planted before. The census of 1910 gives
pIouuct Oh EuSecOmOe Two millions four
bred and forty-fve thousand pounds (2,445,OOG) Of
seed cotton. This-according to the usual calcula-
ton-would make one thousand five hundred and
twenty eight Il $3.50 bales-weighing four hundred
(40O) pounds each. In 1910 Edgecombe stood fl fiji
in the calendar of cotton producing counties-Anson
Northampton, Columbus and Halifax Tin the order o
their names) ranking above her. The census of so
we learn, shows production of thirty-rhree hundred
(33O0) bales, or more than one hundred per cent
With favorable seasons from this time forward, we
believe the crop will reach four thousand baes

planted is probably less than last season-and viii

WheaL-though not stTplc, is planted in consider

We are in the middle of the harvest, and although
the crop, several weeks ago promised well, the grain
has peen greatly injured by the recent dry weather.
We were shown yesterday very fine specimen of
wheat, grown at Strabane, by William F. Dancy,
Esq. 1t is of the variety known the Long Island
Long Head" and in point of whiteness and size OF
grain we have seen none to compare with it. spe-
ciemen of this wheat (both sheaf and grain) may be
seen at our Office. T'7rt2~"-,I Press.
