An electrical writer has calculated that
the firing of a small pistol sets free
about 600 foot pounds of energy, while
q watch consumes about one fifty-four-
millonth OF a horse power, the energy OF
the bullet being sufficient to keep the

proyerbiai pancake all over. Part of it,
indeed, is very mountainous, and all Of

Upper Sahara consists of rocky plat

peaks; the lower, to which it descends
10y steep slope, is IA vast depression
Of clay aud sand" but still for the most
part standing high above sea level No
portion of the Upper Sahara is less than
1890 feet liSh-a good deal higher than
Durimore or Derlyshire. Most Of the

The two spots below sea level consist OF
the beds of ancient lakes, now much
slirunk by evaporation, owing TO the
present rainless condition of the conn

gypsum, and the water itself is consid-
ernhly saltier than the sea.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.

Eli Young, negro, charged with
an uncomfortable crime upon the
BODY of little colored child, about
nine or ten years of age, has succeeded
in evading the officers of the law and
is now roaming at large, an unpunish-
ed demon of the deepest eye, seeking.
perhaps. others to devo1r. How he
managed to make good his escape is a
mystery to US How colored men can
stand silently by and see a man COM
nit such an offense upon a defenseless
child of their own race and make not
single effort to apprehend him, is an
other argument against any possible
excellence in their morals, their rell-
gion or their manhood. If this man,
notable as he is said to be, is not
speedily apprehended, it will be a
lasting shame upon the good people,
black and white, of Chowan county.
The ofense was committed Sunday
night. DIR. Mcmillan was called to
see the unfortunate child who, under
his treatment, is recovering from hel
horrible condition.

charged that Harrison's policy was to

Yes, but We won't do it," echoed a
hoarse negro voice through the grove,

Report of the Delegates from Edenton Ali
ance to the Peanut Growers Conven-
tion, held at Suffolk Aug. LIST.

DEAR SIR The. afternoon OF
July 3Ist found US on the way to
Chowan station on the Suffolk and
Carolina r. r. from whence We went
to take the train at an early hour The
following morning.
After spending pleasant night at
the hospitabIe home of Mr.. Elliott
we went to the station, and then met
delegate from ,,Tyner Alliance, -
and a delegate from Perquimans
county. AT Gliden a delegate from
"Wardville Alliance" joined us, and
from that time on, at each stop, the
number of the delegates received an
increase. A swift run Of 359 miles
Gin five hours) brought us to the
thriving town of Suffolk Va. which
has, of late years. been the reel pient OF
FIRE FAvORs. It has however, arisen
from the flames a much more hand
some end more substantial looking
business centre.
We now had the pleasure of look
ing out for ourselves. and after ask
ing many questions and receiving
vague answers We discovered that
the convention would be he'd in the
Odd Town Hall" commencing at
IL m. We therefore, refreshed our
selves with a bench and repaired to
the place of meeting and found the
convention in session. Much to our
surprise we discovered that this
convention was an adjourned meet
ing of a similar convention held, at
Petersburg, short time before
At that convention all the officers,
with the exception of a permanent
secretary, were elected and a consti-
tuition adopted. The costitution,
however, was opened for discussion,
with the result of a change in name
from The Peanut Growers Union of
Virginia" to The Alliance Peanut
Union" and also change in the
mode of representation, whereby
each Sub Alliance may become a
member of the union by adopting
the constitution and paying 20 cents
annually for each male member
growing peanuts, and each Sub
Alliance becoming a member is
entitled to one delegate for every
fifty members or fraction thereof.
AS the clause originally stood the Sub
Alliances were to endorse the constitu-
ton and pay IS cents for each male
member and to have representation
according to the Alliance rule Of
appointing delegates to County AL
liances. This was wise change,
for there were about 400 delegates
a rather unwieldy body, and not more

Pine Straw for Cotton BaJqing.

pine straw bagging should not be manu-
featured quite extensively in Georgia.
The material costs nothing, and the
preparation of the fiber is not at all COM
plcated. The manufacture is simple,
and the product has been tested and
found good. think we will have manu-
factories in Georgia for its production,
and at an early day. was over in Au-
gusta a few days since, and my under
standing was that there is stock COM
pany being formed there which will go
into the business on an extensive scac.
Small plants for the weaving of bag
ging will be established at different
points in the State, and the production
of pine straw bagging will, believe, be
one of our profitable industries. BY the
way, / want to add that there seems to be
considerable interest in tobacco culture,
and that is as it should be. In some por-
tions of the State there can be grown as
good tobacco as can he grown anywhere.
Especially is this true in Southern
Georgia, where they grow some very fine
tobacco. / am glad the Farmers Alli-
ance is encouraging its production, for it
is good thing Atlanta Constitution.
