SUICIDE IN THE COUNTRY,
Mrs Robt. DiIworth Ends Her Life by
Taking Poison,

Mrs. Robert Dilworth, aged about
- years, committed suicide north of
Winston few days ago by taking a
general mixture Of po;son-Rough on
Rats, arsenic and ground glass.
Mrs DiIworth had been in bad
health for some time and in conse-
quence became Respondent. She was
rational when DR.. Dalton called to see
her. She told her own story about
the act. She said that she had the
poison prepared butiwaited until her
husband and children returned to
their farm work in the afternoon be-
fore she took it. The rough on rats
she thought was Strichnine. By mix
ing the latter with the arsenic and
ground glass she thought would pro-
duce instant death, but in this she
was mistaken. Instead of sudden
death size was thrown into in tense
misery. She sent for her husband to
come to the house. She told him
what she had done. Mr.. Dilworth
Immediately sent after DR.. Dalton
who arrived about p. M, but was
unable to do anything for the patient.
After suffering intensely until ten
o'clock Mrs. Dilworth breathed her
last.
The deceased leaves five children to
mourn her sad death.
Mr.. Dilworth says that his wife
had not eaten or slept much for several
weeks, but he did not entertain the
idea that she meant to kill herself.
Notwithstanding she had remarked
several times in his hearing that she
had ia ther be dead than alive.

Attempt at Burglary.

An attempt was made about two
o'clock Sunday morning to burglarize
the store of j. w. Hester, just outside
the city limits in North Liberty. A
wire screen extends about half way of
the large glass in the front window,
leaving the upper part exposed. The
burglar removed the putty from the
exposed portion of the glass aud at
tempted to remove the pane, but in
his efforts to do so the glass broke,
making considerable noise as it fell
upon the pavement outside. The
noise awoke the clerk, who was Sleep
ing in the house across the street from
the store, and as he went out TO inves-
tigate he saw a man leisurely walking
from the store as if nothing was
wrong.
The clerk went over to the store,
foupd that no entrance had been
effected and did not even discover
the glass was broken until next morn
ing.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
For the Week Ending Monday, July
Tenth, 1898.

The reports of correspondents of
the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin.
issued by the North Carolina State
Weather Service, for the week ending
July 10th, 1898, show that all crops
have made good progress. The rain
fall was generally beneficial. Cores
pondents from the central and west
ern parts of the State report rain
needed, but it is thought that rain
occurred in nearly all sections on Sat-
urday OF Sunday latter the reports
were mailed.1 The last few days of
the week were very warm and gener-
ally clear. This was especially bene-
fetal to cotton, causing it to grow,
and also having the effect of driving
eff lice. The trouble from cetton lice
seems to have abated considerably.
Hail occurred on the 3rd, 9Th and 7th.
doing considerable damage to crops
over small areas of country. A large
majority of correspondents report
corn as very good, peanuts good, oats
excellent, hay very good, cotton con-
siderably improved.

Action Against the sureties Of Exc
County Collector Dougherty.
e. G. Bradford as Counsel for the Levy
Court of New Castle county on Friday
brought suit Oh The bond Of John J. Dough-
erty, ex-collector of taxes for New Castle
county, to recover the sum of $16, 1856, ,43,
due the county and which, it isalleged, is
the amount of the ex collectors shortage.
A levy made on the property of Sureties
Friday last, and Monday morning the doors
Of sths business places of several of the
bondsmen were closed. The amountof the
bond is SEQ, 600. The sureties are William
McMenamin, Hugh Lynch, Thomas Toy,
Bernard Bonner, John McClafferty, Joseph
stoeckls and Augustus Beers estate.
The bond has been on record in the
protbonetory's office at the court house. as
1t is customary, and is regarded much the
same as Judgement. In order to bring
suit against the sureties proceedings must
be commenced on the bond and execution
issued by the prothonotary to the sheriff
who makes he1evy.
When asked why suit was not brought
sooner, z. G, Bradford stated that the
county prier to this time has bsen engaged
in making preparations for the litigation
and did not deem 1t advisable to bring
suit before.
The fact that Tax Collector Dougherty
was short in his accounts was made known
when the collector settled with the county
two years ago. But the actual amount has
never been determined upon by the Levy
Court until now. Suit is brought for the
full amount Of the dsfcit with interest,
which will be held in the neighborhood Of

Il living Cargo,


The schooner Wallace ]. Boyd Captain
Godfrey, passed up the Delaware river,
Tuesday, from Montevideo, with cargo of
bones which were gathered from the plains
of that locality and the voyage will long be
remembered by Captain Godfrey and bis
wife, as well as by all the sailors. heship
became infested with scorpions and other
pestiferous bugs, which arose from the
cargo and penetrated every available
quarter OF the ship. The seamen's rest
was disturbed and for weeks at time the
unfortunate men dare not rest themselves
in their hunks for fear of being stung
Every effort to rid the ship ofthe plague was
unsuccessful, and even on Monday night,
while lying at the Reedy Island Quarantine
the decks and cabins were alive with these
creeping insects. Climatic changes had no
effect whatever on them and those of the
crew who entertained the belief that they
would disappear as the northern latitudes
were reached were disappointed.

Arrentina Our Competitor.

It Is stated that Argentina wheat can be
grown--15 bushels to the acre-at profit
of IS cents bushel if sold in Europe at 20
cents bushel. The crop this year, it is
added, is 3S 900, 900 bushels over and above
the needs for home consumption. In the
eight months ended August 81 there were
nearly $4,000, 900 bushels of the surplus ex-
ported But nne-twentiefh of the area of
Argentina suitable for wheat-growing is
now under cultivation. When the extern
sion of railroads and increase of immigra-
ton bring the land more into use competi-
ton with the farmers Of the United States
will become closer. The signs all point to
increased competition in the future from
Russia, India, Australia and Canada, and
to the wisdom Of engaging in the growth of
articles not likely to be produced in guam
tity by these backward countries. A
varied agriculture will give surer profits.
The great growth of our towrs and cities
implies an increased demand for things the
local producer may supply. The staples
are produced to excess. Other products are
wanted, but cannot be had. The farmer
who studies his market and gusges its wants
has the secret of success.
