The penitentlarv directors have secured
on long lease four thousand acres of land
on Roanoke river. near Weldon. IN HallieN
and northampton counties. and viii ope
rate their farms On an extensive scale. The
directors have reserved the night 10 pur-
chase these lands at any time Convicts
will be sent from here next month TO build
stockades and TO SOW grain and clover. On
January lst two hundred c0nvlctS Will be
placed on the farms permanently, and Will
nut in a crop for next season. The lands

pointed superintendent Of these farms.

The Farmers Alliance has done many
things 10 the advantage Of the farmer.
Among these is the incubation of economy,
IT has shown that crops can be raised more
Cheaply, and Il Is safe to say that 1t has
cost 10 raise the crop of this season less
than 10 produce any crop since the war.
The alliance people get their goods and
farm supplies for cash or upon very favor
able terms. They do not have to give
mortgages for everything they purchase

goods. How they have borne their bur-
dens so long is truly remarkable.

sault His trial will be conducted with
great care. That Boyle escaped lynehing
here last Nav when he was arrested IS
lasting credit 20 the people of Raleigh in
these days when lynchings are so common.

EMIGRATION.

piety's commissioners has made its appear
ance. 1t is quite voluminOus, but the gist
of it has been sent the Dispatch The delta
lands of Mississippi and Arkansas are re-
commended as places desirable for settle

NOTES
The sickness among the horses in Jones
county continues, though it Is not wide
spread. Some have died, among them
some valuable animals.
The irrepressible negroes have in some
way gotten hold of a new idea in regard to
the exodus. They say that the President
has written to their head men" that he
will send them all the money they need TO
1dH lDtlI tADtllbtH VI ttliiONhl anu NNilDO-
rary maintenance. OF course this ridicu-
lous belief obtains only among the ignorant
negroes, but it shows how little Is their
knowledge of facts.
The destruction of cattle by bears in the
country bordering upon the great swamps
In the eastern part of the state Is greater
this summer and autumn than ever before
II is a remarkable fact that the bears are
the great obstacles TO successful cattle
raising there They kill and eat the largest
cattle, and find quite safe refuge in the
swamps. Large numbers of the bears have
been killed, and there is talk of organized
attacks upon them this winter.

Banks. the young negro who is TO be

There is much complaint in Hyde county
at the removal of the force of one hundred
oonvicts from the Broad creek and Alliga-
tor canal before its completion. II is al
legged that the corn crop Of that county is
greatly damaged by reason OF the stoppage
of work on the canal. The cause of the re
moval of the convicts. which was ordered
by the penitentlary directors, was that the
latter found il necessary 10 secure wages
for all conyicts in order TO meet the de-
Inands of the new act requiring the .peni-
Tertiary 10 be self-supporting. The board
received no pay for the convicts on this
canal. The removal was necessity.
