Selling Cotton-Seed Scrious.

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispa,ch.l
SCOTLAND NECK. n. G., February 49,
The selling OF cotton-seed by farmers
here is subject of various comment re-
spcciing the coming crop. Quite large
quantities of cotton are raised here, and
the cotton seed are a very important
consideration as fertilizer for the land
tor the next crop. Many think that the
selling of the seed will be the cause OF
poor crops this year. Almost every
farmer will sell all his seed save enough
for planting.

The Safe Of Richmond Man Which
Baffied Burglars.
Especial to the Press. I


Richmond, August 20-Burglars en-
tered J. Bailey's grist mill, on Kimball
street, Saturday night and ATTEMPTED to
blow open the safe. Two holes were
drilled in the door near the lock and
powder inserted and exploded, but with
out forcing the door open, though it was
somewhat shattered. A hole was also
drilled in the top of the safe and a charge
Of powder exploded without efecting an
entrance. No attempt seems to have been
made to deaden the sound of the ex-
ploded charges. Mr.. Bailey forced, open
the safe door with crowbar Sunday
morning. He thought the burglars could
have obtained nothing. excepting posi-
bly, little change which might have
been shak en- out at the broken place in
the bottom OF the door. A quantity Of
unburned powder was found inside the
safe
Mr. Bailey thinks the break may have
been made by two men who were at the
mill early in the week making inquiries
and looking about in a suspicious man
ner.
A slight fire occurred Sunday forenoon
in the part Of a house on North Pleasant
street, occupied by Mrs. Clauncey. The
fire caught in q summer kitchen addition
from tile chimney. More damage was
caused by the ill advised use of water
and fire axes than by the flames.

AsLynching at a Fair.

Morganfeld, Ky, August 19.-Over
1000 men and boys, who had been at
tending a county fair, turned their backs
on the exhibits last night to hang a
negro to a tree. In the earlier part of the
day, Charles Walton, 80, negro, . had
lured from the grounds into a cornfield,
lad. There he cut the boys throat from
ear to ear and robbed him of "a. Upon
discovery of the dying youth the fair
crowd started in pursuit of the negro.
He was soon captured in a swamp and
taken before Keith, who identified him
just before he died. Jailer Sellers and
Marshal Hurst took the prisoner from
the mob and started with him for Hen
and recaptured Walton. Just before
m dnight they took him into Richards's
woods and hanged him to a tree, where
they left the body.

It had been said that. no Democrat
could vote against free coinage. He was
a Democrat. His Democracy was as good
as that of any man on ghls floor, and he
would NOT allow any one to challenge or
ouestion IT, He stood by every plank of
| fhe Chicaoo platform, but that platform
nowhere demanded the free coinage of
silver at this time. He reviewed the sill
yer legislation of the county, and ex-
pressed his opinion that the act of 1873
miscalled a demonetlzatlon act-had not
demonetized one dollar OF silver on the
whole globe.
IF we threw our inints open to the free
coinage of silver, would not the experience
of India be repeated in this country, and
would there not be repeated here.a fall in
the value of the silver dollar? The United
States was the greatest nation on the face
of the globe, and contained the proudes6
people Every man who took silver
dollar today knew that this great and
proud people did not intend to have it
deprecated in value. Every man who
took 4 silver dollar knew that it would
be redeemed. Ieven the government had
to issue bonds to d. y gold from other
countries. The silyeA dollars were obliga-
tions of the government, just as were the
greenbacks The reason that the world
did not take silver was that the world
did not want it, except in limited guam
titles. He was in favor of the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman act
because 1t would tend to restore conf
dence. To the Sherman act he attri-
buted the present depression.

ference of delegates from the various
trades unions of New York to take ac-
tion on the existing condition of affairs
in the labor world, devise means of as
sisting the unemployed and formulate
plans for great labor demonstration,
was held here this afternoon. About
100 delegates were present and good
share had something to say. The meet
ing was lively at times, but good order
prevailed as general thing. One or
two persons present advanced socialistic
ideas, but were promptly sat upon. The
remarks were made generally on the
line OF GOODNESS and prudence. A large
majority of the speakers counselled obe-
dience to the laws and expressed conf
dence in the government.
8 Pesident Gompers of the Federation
Of Labor, acted as temporary chairman
and made some remarks upon the situa-
tion. Robert NJ Campbell Of Topographic
cal Union, No.6, was elected permanent
chairman. It was resolved that COM
mittee be appointed to ask all labor
organizations and: sympathizers to CO.

devising means to assist the unemployed;
that a committee be apppointed to wait
upon the mayor and other officials OF the
city and state with a view to starting
and opening up work, to the end that
new employment be furnished the unen-
p1oyed; that committee be delegated to
call upon the civil justices and ask that
evictions of unemployed for non-payment
of rents be postponed during this crisis,
and that committee be appointed to
draw up an address to the public explain
ing the position of the conference and its
reason for action in this matter. After
number of speeches, it was voted that the
discussion of the question of the demon
stration be postponed. The meeting ad-
iourned until next Monday afternoon.
Morris Klinterstin furnished meals free to
thousand unemployed people today. He
will continue the charity daily for the

Rome, August 20-Anti-F French dem
onstrations were made in the neighbor-
hood of the French embassy and other
parts of the city yesterday, on account
of the massacre of Italians at Aigues-
Mortes, in France. The assembled peo-
pie were dispersed by the police. Late
last evening mob attacked the Santa
Chiary Seminary of French priests, tore
down the escutcheOnS from the facade,
and trampled them under foot, smashed
windows and tried to force the doors.
Further damage was prevented by a
strong force of police, who dispersed
the mob and guarded the seminary until
late this evening. A company of police
was stationed at the French embassy, as
the anti-French agitators threatened to
sack it. In both Milan and Turin, incen-
diary anti-French manifestos have been
issued.
Rome, August 21.-The Anti French
agitation spreads hourly. Demonstrative
crowds paraded the streets tonight shout
ing for the king and calling for revenge
for the Aigues Mortes massacre. The
police were out in double force all the
evening and prevented the crowds from
becoming riotous. At ten o'clock thou
sands had packed the Piazza Collona. A
dozen bands led the professions of cheer
ing men up the streets entering the
square. Betore11 O'Clock the whole dis
trict was filled with excited crowds. The
bands played the italian and German
anthems while the people cheered and
sang. The excitement of the people was
reflected by the newspapers which are
unanimous in demanding quick repara-
tion from France and urging the govern
ment to exact satisfaction for the Aigues
Mortes affair promptly and deteminedly.
AT the same time the people are exhorted
to restrain their just indignation and
await as calmly as possible the event of
the governments action.

VOORHEES, TRUMP CARD.
A Washington Paper Predicts the Death
of the 20 tn Measure.

= -
Washington, August 2o-The Post to-
day says: "Free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 20 to 1, or any increased ratio is
practically impossible. This is the trump
card Senator VOORHEES, is to play in the
Senate Tuesday. Secretary Carlisle has
prepared letter which the Senator will
read in the Senate Tuesday, stating
that it will cost between $40, 900, 600 and
$113, 600, GOO to carry out the provisions of
Senator Vests free cionage bill. 1t is
true that there is nothing in Senator
Vests bill about recoinage, but it does
not need prophet's vision to know that
dollars below par, which only the govern
ment will be compelled to take, will
drift with alarming rapidity into the
treasury in payment of customs duties
and taxes They will remain adding to
the congestion of the currency and unless
they can be recoined they will be useless
as money. If there is to- be free coinage
at an increased ratio, some of the silver
financiers in the Senate must provide
the Secretary of the Treasury with over
million dollars to execute the law"
