DR.. Parker's Big Corn Crop.

Since the State Agricultural Department has
offered premium Of $500 to any subscriber o.
the American Aortcunu,ist who may raise the
largest crop Of corn on an acre, nearly ever!
paper has copied some facts as to how DR.. Par
ker. Of Columbia, succeeded in making two
hundred bushels Of corn to the acre, but, We
believe. that none Of them have stated tho
cost, which was two dollars bushel. at time
when corn could have been bought for eighty
cents bushel.
While quite number Of our exchanges arc
urging their farmer patrons to compete for the
prize, the Press and Bonner is inclined to the
opinion that that premium, like the capita
prize In lottery, had better be let alone. Lei
every farmer plant corn early and in suffi
cient Quantities to supply home consumption
and then let somebody else compete for the
$500 prize for the biggest crop on one acre.

Garrison's, N. c., Feb. %,
Mortgages.

The following, from Capt. r. B. Gaddy, In
the Polkton News. Is to the point and should
be we'll considered by farmers:
1--WE regret to see so many MOI tgages placed
this year. We were getting on safer basis
We looked ahead and saw daylight just be-
yond. 1t Is the merchants business TO trade,
and Of course If you make 1t safe for him he
will accommodate you. There is day OF
reckoning coming. Six or eight months Is
not all the time you have TO live. Another
year will come and still another. If dire
necessity force you to buy on credit, after
cutting down your farm and reducing every
expense. buy only meat and bread, and just
as little of that as possible. No man can run
a successful farm on credit Count up the
cost as you 20 along. Pay day is just over the
hill and will surely come, and small and un.
certain crops are just as sure To come. as pay
day. Fertilizer on Il credit, meat, corn, flour,
dry goods, and what will the farmer have left ?
The prosperity of our country should be close
to every mans heart, and we have tried the
credit system till we know it wont do. 1t has
bankrupted more merchants aud farmers than
anything else, or than all other causes com.
biped. Farming never has nor never will
pay under any such system.

Not tear was she'd,
When the mournful task was done.

And sought my silent room,
And there alone

Lowered above my brow,

noyance hasbeen occasioned by these
tickle movements, and great regret is
felt that Great Britain and the United
States have not sent instructions to
their representatives, as it is conceded
on all sides that, hy uniting, these two
great powers could at once stop the
war, and settle the Samoan difficulties
in iust-if not a satisfactory-manner
for all parties concerned.
Since the German attack in Decem-
Der. the usurper, Tamasese, has made
no hostile movement, and from present
ind ications, he is little disposed to con
tinue the war.
His adviser, Herr Brandeis, has
given up his position, and will leave
Samoa in few days. More than one
fourth of Tamasese's soldiers have
deserted him and Joined Malietoa since
the battle of Vaileli.
Mulietoa has surrounded Apia, and
is prepared to meet any attack the ere
nv may be foolish enough ito make
upon him.
Whilst the Germans have shelled
and burned many of his villages,
NIalietoa has refrained from retaliation,
although the power has been his to
punish his foes severely, in both life
and property. Besides this humane
treatment, Malietoa has established a
police force, and has Apia, Matauta

He Amuses Himself by Throwing
Money Around.
B. Giboulet went insane last night, at
least he behaved in a manner which
showed he was not in his right mind.
Somewhere in the neighborhood OF 7 80
O'Clock he wandered down Commercial
street, and as he passed some of the
restaurants located thereon, he amused
himself by throwing first dollar and
then a half-dollar in each. When he
reached the corner of Los Angeles he
threw half-dollar into a clothing store
and then he proceeded across the street
and finally found his way to the corner
of Alameda and Also streets, where Ser
geant Fletcher, who had been told of his
strange behavior, succeeded in inducing
him to retire to a room in a lodging
house. Captain Fletcher then wan
dered up to Main street, where
be found a crowd collected around
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Office. Here
hole had been made through the
plate glaes by some sort of projectile.
Mr.. Pridham, manager for the company,
thought that it had been made by bull
let, but upon examination, the hole was
exactly the size OF q dollar. Another
crowd stood around the Farmers and
Merchants Bank, where hole had been
made in the window. This was also
found to have been made by dollar.
Serjeant Fletcher jumped to the conclu-
sion that these ruined windows were the
results of Giboulet's Workmanship, and
he went to the lodging house and ar
rested him. At the Police Station

The Wilmington suicide.

The Coroner went down to Wilmington
yesterday and held an inquest on the
body of German by the name of Chris
tian Burkley, who committed suicide Fri
day afternoon. The witnesses summoned
to testify were the mans married daugh-
ter and farmland. No cause was
assigned for the deed. Burkley was a
man of 80 years of age, and the owner
of some property in the German colony,
which is located several miles from
Wilmington. 1t was at this colony on
the farm owned by the old man that the
tragedy took place. The daughter heard
the report of gun and summoning the
hired man went to the room. Her father
was found lying upon the bed dead. He
had placed the barrel of a shotgun in
front of his face and pulled the trigger
with his foot. The jury brought in
verdict of suicide.

ON TASCOTT'S TRAIL.

His Description.

Fhe Detectives Put On Guard gain.
His Description.
Ihe recent excitement regarding the
tracking down Of Tascott, who murdered
Amos d. Smell, the Chicago millionaire,
on February 8, 1888, has started the de-
tectives on the trail again, and as it is
probable that in his wanderiDgs Tascott
may reach this part of the country, the
following description OF him has been
furnished to the special officers:
civilian B. Tascott is from 20 to %
years of age, 5 feet, or 9 inches high.
$50 pounds in weight, slim built. very
erect, full round face, heavy eyebrows.
very fair complexion, light-brown hair.
thin on top of head, prominent hazel or
dark-blue eyes, small mustache (may be
dyed. He is quite young looking. His
front teeth show gold filling, line or
surface of gold extending along the edge
of the two upper front teeth, and is quite
prominent. He generally has his hands
in his pockets, and has the air
OF a loafer or person without
any particular business or object in view.
He is rather good-looking, his cheeks are
red and there is nothing about his ap-
pearance which would create suspicion
of mis- being a criminal. Shot in right
hip, scars on right leg, knee and both
elbows. Claims to be a newspaper re-
porter. Is said to be an expert pool
player and will frequent pool rooms.
He converses about his travels through
the country freely"
Regarding the statement that he claims
to be q newspaper reporter, it may be
mentioned that at the period when the
tragedy occurred he was employed in that
capacity on the Chicago Times. In point
of fact his name was, the morning after
the murder, put down by the city editor
of the paper he was working on as one of
the five reporters detailed to work up the
incidents of the case.
