CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

RALEIGH, N. c., May 2.-Warsaw, in
the eastern part of this State, was struck
by terrific cyclone this morning at
O'Clock. Hail fell with such rapidity
and violence as to lie eight inches deep
in thirty seconds. Many small houses
were blown away almost bodily. Large
houses were torn up 80 they are not habi.
table. The Seminary building was split
open and nearly destroyed. The Presby.
terian church was totally demolished, not
stick of timber being left that may be
used in rebuilding. Fences were torn
up and scattered like leaves. No loss of
life is reported. Strawberries are the
principal article of early production
here, and hundreds of acres were ruined.
Exclusive of the loss of these crops, the
damage will exceed $4,000.
RALEIGH, N. O., May 4.-At11 o'clock
tonight United States Deputy Collector
Vanderford arrived here and brought
news that moonshiners had shot and
perhapa mortally wounded Briscoe B.
Bouldin, who is also deputy collector,
and who is native of Charlotte County,
Virginia, and son of Judge Bouldin.
Bouldin, Vanderford and Deputy Marshal
A. Fl. Temple were after moonshiners,
having located twenty-five stills. While
Temple and Vanderford were cutting
up one still, Bouldin was at the other, a
mile away, watching for the moonshiner,
and when the latter came up arrested
him and began to destroy the still. Sud
denly the moonshiner stepped aside. took
his gun, which was concealed behind q
log and shot Bouldin. The latter return.
ed the fire even after he had been shot in
the chest and stomach, and knocked the
moonshiner down. Vanderford and
Temple found Bouldin terribly wounded.
He was taken to the house of physician
and then Vanderford came here for fur.
ther aid. He says the house was full of
moonshiners. The place where the
shooting occurred is ia Johnston County,
seventeen miles south of this city and in
very bad neighborhood.
PEORIA, ILL, May "A most distress.
ing accident occurred here yesterday in
which the "unlcaded" revolver figured
prominently. While in the Office of her
afianced, William Smith, Miss Jennie
Benning picked up an "empty" revolver
and placed it to her head with the re-.
mark: "I wonder if I can kill myself"
Unfortunately the weapon contained one
cartridge, which was discharged, lodging
bullet in her brain. The young lady
was but 18 years of age, and was soon to
have been married to Mr.. Smith, who is
but few years her senior.
CHICAGO, May Ga dispatch from
Wheeling, Va, says terrible accident is
reported from Brsxton, in that State. B.
Harr and family lived in thinly settled
district and yesterday he and his wife and
two children started to visit a neighbor.
A mountain stream in their path was
swollen out of its banks but Harr attemp.
ted to cross it in q canoe. Half way
over the boat capsized and the whole
family were thrown out. The wife and
one child Immediately sank. Harr, who
was an expert swimmer,- seized another
child and made desperate efforts to escape.
He caught on to the canoe but was swept
down the stream and perished before
help could reach him. The bodies have
been recovered.

Cotton Covering for Cotton.

The Conference of Southern cotton
manufacturers and representatives of the
Farmers Alliance in South Carolina and
Georgia, which was held in Augusta on
Wednesday, fully justified the expecta.
tions that were entertained with regard
to its probable usefulness.
The Joint committee which was ap.
pointed to confer upon the question re.
ported that it is practicable to substitute
cotton bagging for jute bagging, that cot.
ton bagging can be manufactured, yard
for yard, at the same or less cost than
the jute bagging, il it shall be generally
adopted as a covering for cotton bales,
and recommended the Association of
Manufacturers to adopt resolutions look.
ing to an equitable readjustment of the
allowance for "tare," (which would becomG
necessary when the lighter covering is
used.
This recommendation was promptly
acted on. The companies represented in
the Association agree to pay 10 cents
hundred pounds for whatever cotton they
buy, provided the substitute bagging
does not weigh more than three.quarters
of a pound to the yard, and this allow.
ance appears to have been satisfactory to
the representatives of the Alliance, who
constituted two.thirds of the committee.
The Immediate result Of the Conference
WAS that two of the mills represented in
the Association closed contract the
same night with the representatives Of
the Alliance in South Carolina and Geor.
gia to supply the farmers of those States
with four million yards ofcotton bagging
in time to be used in covering the next
crop. This is advantageous to the mills,
of course, and will make the farmers of
the two States practically independent of
the Jute Trust for year, which is the
object nearest in view.
The cotton farmers will now have the
Southern cotton factories to help thera in
their fight against the Jute Trust, and
the issue can no.longer be regarded as
doubtful. The Alabama Alliance, and
the Mississippi Alliance, We believe, have
already pledged their members to the
use of the cotton bagging exclusive. The
Cotton Convention at Birmingham on
the 18th instant will probably lead to the
general adoption of the cotton covering
this year; and if 80, the Jute Trust will
be buried forthwith, without ceremony
and without regret, in the shroud of its
own weaving.-Ne,us and Courier.

A Good Suggestion.

Mr.. EDITOR: May ask if the next best
thing the City Council could do would be
to put sprinkler on the streets
The advancement now being made in
every other department, and the accumu-
lation of dust on the streets caused by
hauling debris and clay on the streets, de-
mands and justifes some protection to the
merchants and others from the clouds OF
dust that enter their places of business and
dwellings. We doubt il there is another
city with Anderson's pr oportions but that
has this great preventive of dust.
We respectfully call attention OF our
worthy Mayor and Aldermen to what NE
consider something very much needed.

Yes, the prognosticators were right this
tipe; the frost did come in May. On Sat-
urday morning the ground was white,
cotton being the greatest sufferer. In some
places it is SO killed that it will have to be
replanted. Have never heard of SO much
complaint about bad stands of cotton. A.
great many of our farmers are plowing up
and planting over, while others are going
to wait on its coming up. Some have
worked over, and still it does not come.
If there is any truth in the old adage, "a
bad beginning makes good ending" we
are all right.
Wheat and oats are beginning to make a
little better show, and the outlook now is
very good for a good harvest.

The Negro in tlle North anl South.

A colored clergyman, Rev. Hutchens @.
Bishop, rector Of St. Philips Protestant
Episcopal Church, New York city, who
has been interviewed by q Times reporter,
complains of the race prejudices in
Northern cities, which practically ex-
clude colored people from mechanical
occupation and decent modes life. Mr.
Bishops personal experience and obser-
vation 60 very far to prove that The lot of

better in many ways than in the North,
where the attitude of the whites is one of
extreme prejudice and hostility. he

chanical occupations and are paid lower
wages in servile positions than white
people receive for equivalent service.
1.-THE FORMS" be says, "that prejudice
takes in the North are often more humil.
ating than the political antagonism the
colored people encounter from their for
mer masters in the South. These colored
men work side by side with their white
colleagues in all the mechanical trades
and no effort is made to prevent them
from learning any branch of industrial
employment they may choose. Tie ma.
terial and moral and intellectual aspira>
tions of the colored man are not interfered
with in the South, but on the contrary
are encouraged in many ways by the
white people, who learned before the war
to look to him for all the mechanical
work that was wanted. When the color
ed artisan comes North and tries to find
work at his trade, and is met by refusal
of white men to work alongside Of him,
he encounters kind of antipathy and
prejudice that are unknown in the
South" Negroes going North will find
that the Northern color line is drawn
very sharply by people who don't want
them as neighbors, fellow.workmen or as
sociates, yet who would put them in po-
litical control of the South.

When you ask our good merchants

A MIR. Pluck, engaged with G. S. Minor

killing. He confidently believes the
good people of Anderson-yes, the whole
State-will sustain him.
O.S. Minor & Co. love to tell how
their Pluck has buried Mr.. Hjgh Price,
and how they have trotted to the front
Mr.. Low Price, who, by the way, is a

the crowds that have swarmed at "Pied-

The Farmers, Alliance.

Mr.. EDITOR: Thinking that few facts
or items in reference to the Farmers Al
lance in Anderson County might not be
uninteresting to your readers, I have con-
cluded to write you short article.
The first sub.Alliances were organized
| in this County the last of August, 1888,
! and for some time after their organization
very little was done, on account of delay
in getting outfits, imperfect instruction in
the practical workings of the Order, and
hinderances growing out of these causes.
NJ 4ssthstanding these hinderaRces,
the Order assumed shape and began to
grow, until by the S1st of December, 1888,
the membership had grown from mere
handful to 938.
During the first quarter of 1889, so far
as reported, there have been 6s0 initia-
tions in the various sub-Alliances in the
County. Four sub-Alliances are not in
cluded in the report, and would probsbly
increase the number of limitations to 700
for the quarter.
There are now thirty-four sub.Alliances
| in Anderson County in working order,
representing every community, and em.
bracing in their membership the repre-.
sentative farming population OF our
County.
AS matter Of grateful interest, no
scisms or divisions have occurred in the
workings of our County Alliance, but
| harmony ind oneness of interest and pur-
pose have governed our proceedings. The
| members of the Alliance, and even out
siders, are beginning to better understand
that the Farmers Alliance was not organ
! lied for warfare or crusade against the
merchants, or any other class Of citizents,
but was and is intended for mutual pro-
| lection and help among the farmers and
others entitled to admission who think
proper to identify themselves with the or.
ganization.
No doubt errors have been and will be
committed and mistakes made, but We
believe that the Farmers Alliance, in
some form, is an organization that has
come 'sto stay" and that by the influence
| of it's associations and the helps which it
brings, the Agricultural population OF
| this grand southland of ours, will become
before many years self.supporting, pro-
ducing q living at home and become
sellers of diversified produce, instead Of
buyers of prime necessities. That instead
of anxious inquiry and investigation as to
'swhere and how necessaries or supplies
can be most cheaply purchased" the cry
will be where can market be found for
the surplus products of the farm.
1t is, also, rather rather remarkable,
and matter of profound gratitude to
God, that since the organization COM
meuced in the County, running through
period Of nine months, not single death
has occurred among its members, SO far as
the statistical reports show, made March
s1st, 1889.
Excuse the length of this article, and
when have time will furnish you with
some thoughts ss to other features OF the
organization.
