THE sToDDARD LECTURES.

MT. c. A. Burditt of the firm of Burditt & North, managers of MT. John L. Stoddard's s lecture courses, returned from Europe on the City of Berlin on Friday last. MT. Burditt has been absent from this country about four months, during which time he has passed considerable time in London and Paris, and has also visited various parts of England and the continent in search of material for the illustration of the Stoddard lectures. In this quest he has been remarkably successful, and has brought to this country with him nu- merous fine, rare and unique specimens of the photographers and picture makers art, including scenes and topics which cannot fail of enhancing to great degree the inter est which always attaches to the subjects presented by MT. Stoddard. The lectures for the coming season to be delivered by MT. Stoddard, prepared during the vacation in terval of the summer just past, will render his courses of greater attraction than ever before, and their value will be largely in- creased by the superiority of the illustrations over those of any former years.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, May 5.-News
comes to the city oil bad state OF
things some twenty miles west of here,
in a neighborhood where white man
named Farmer was shot by one of
three negroes who had robbed bis
companion, Phillips. One OF the
negroes was killed by pursuing party
of whites. Yesterday man came to
the Pratt MipeI, some ten miles from
the scene Of the trouble, and swore
out warrant for Eve negroes, telling
Of the lawless proceedings OF the
blacks in the last few days. A few
nights ago several negroes went to the
house Of neighbor Of Farmers named
Young and took him to q high bluff
telling him to say his prayers, for
they we're going to kill him, but he
escaped by jumping off the bluff aud
out-running them. Hart and another
neighbor have moved their families
from home to get them cut Of danger.
White men threaten to kill every ne
gro concerned in the original affair in
case OF Farmers death, which seems
not improbable. The negroes are,
for the most part, railroad hands,
working on the Georgia Pacific extern
sion, but their leader lives in the
neighborhood, and uses them to in

BUILDING COUNTER LEVEES

PROPOSES.
What He Thinks OF the Present
System Farmers All Getting
Ready 10 Plant.

River planters who are in the city
attending races all express themselves
as very hopeful, and do not think the
overflow will have any serious effect.
In many places planting HIS already
begun, and almost everywhere the
ground will be broken next week.
With few exceptions, they all ex-
pressed Themselves as doubtful in re-
gard to the advisability of building
levees or OF keeping up any longer
those already built. A Bolivar County
man said: ~ have always been OPP
posed to levees and my father was be-
fore me. He fought them ss bitterly
as he knew how, and his neiRhbors
have now come to the conclusion
that he was right and they were
wrong. My idea about the levees u.s."
the gentleman went on &c say, that
they were forced upon us by the
war. We had to build them
to oblige the darkies. Tho plant.
ers can always get away
but the field hands cannot, and must
STAY aud worry through, living in
skiffs or on the roof OF their cabins on
rations often scant and always irregu-
lar. They wanted the levees, aud we
had ID build them. The consequence
is that the bed OF the river has been
raised several feet and that it con-
tinues to raise every day. The de-
post, which in case OF break, en-
riches the tillable land, settles in the
bottom OF the ttream. The de-
post is often something very
great. l remember few years
ago when my farm had been
over flowed that l measured the
deposit which remained when the
water receded and found it to be only
a fraction under two feet thick. OF
course, that was not fair test, but the
deposit is always from five to six inches
which lays upon the ground like 30
much cream upon q crock OF Jersey
milk. After such an overflow cotton
grows luxuriously. ! have seen 1t as
tall as that" pointing to beam ten
feet from the ground. "If we could al
ways get the water off in time to plant
we would be satisfied. After awhile the
farming lands adjacent to the stream
will all be above high water. When
levee does break there is some
danger, in case the water remains too
long, but when it leaves all the seed
put ia the ground promise q rich re-
turn. A plantation can be raised
above overflow 80 that no annoyance
from high water need be feared. l
know a man in Bolivar county who
bought 800 acres In the river
a few years ago for about 800, and
who now has a plantation worth not
less than $4,000. He built two Coun-
ter levees, running at right angles
with the river, on the north and south
boundaries of his land. Every year
the deposit from the still water thus
confined was about q foot, and the
place has built up 30 rapidly that this
year he did not have more than ten
inches of water anywhere on his
ground. Counter levees could be
built ell along the river from Cairo to
New Orleans at less expense thar
lateral levees, and the present over
flowed lands would al be above high
water in few yeare."
