Utilizing Crows.

A Pennsylvania farmer has
turned the crows to & good ac>
count. He makes them allies in
his work. Writing to Tie
american -4.gyiculturuAst, he says;
For the past five seasons
have, just before | expected my
corn to come up, sowed On the
field about a quart of corn to each
acre, repeated the operation as
often as necessary, until the corn
was SO large that the crows could
not pull it up. If the corn is
soaked until it is tender, they
prefer picking what they want
to eat from the surface rather
than to pull up the young plants
to get it. The cost of the corn
thus sown is but a trifie; and as a
result l have a great number OF
crows in my corn field almost
constantly, and after they have
been satisfied with corn they Will
still pick ur all the insects, grubs
cutWorms they can find, as a
dessert. In raising so acres OF
corn since adopting this plan, ]
have not lost a hundred stalks
by crows and cut-worms COM

Hanged a Little Boy.

A juvenile hanging took place
few days ago near Eldon, Iowa.
and as a result a II year old boy
IS lying at the point of death
and two youths, aged IS and p
years, are III Jail, charged with
assault with intent to commit
murder. 1t seems that Mike
Evans and Fred Doud became
enraged at the taunts of Jimmie
Spurhack, and, procuring a
chain, tied it around his neck.
Fastening the other end to a
board on the stockyards fence,
they threw the victim over. The
lad struggled wildly to free him
self, while the boys who strung
him up stood by until the baby
lsh face blackencd and his ton
que protruded. The youths fed,
and toll the first man they met
that they had seen little Jimmie
Spurback hanging dead. The
victim was hastily taken down
and carried to the home of his
parents, apparently dead. He
was finally resuscitated, but
though still alive, it is not
thought he will recover.

Your Physical Condition

needs attention at this time. Ifyou are
tired, weak and nervous, it is clear that
your blood is impure, and without doubt
there has been too much over-work or
strain on brain and body. The course
of treatment for such a condition is
plain and simple. The blood must frs:
be purified so that the nervous system,
and in fact all the organs will be fed
upon pure blood. Intelligent people
without number have testified that the
best blood purifier, nerve tonic and
strength in1parting medicine is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Nervousness, loss of
sleep and general debility all vanish
when Hoods Sarsaparilla is persistently
taken; in a word, health and happiness
follow after taking Hood Sarsaparilla.

The Worlds Exposition, act
ing under act of Congress, has
awarded a beautiful gol3 medal
and diploma to the late ex-Gov.
Thos. NJ. Holt for the best wheat
exhibit at the Worlds Fair. 1t
is a great compliment to North
Carolina to get the prize when
its wheat was in competition
with the whole world, AID es>
peclally with the great wheat
growing countries of the Argen~

we'll as every State in the Union,
is no mean distinction for North
Carolina.
The wheat that took the prize
was grown on Governor Holts
famous farm iii Davidson county,
known as "Linwood Farm.
Governor Holt was one OF the
best farmers in the State, and al
ways took the greatest pride i'll
his crops.
The diploma, signed by the of
fcers of the Exposition, sets
forth that the award is made for
purity. The yield is 2o bushels
per acre. It is illustrated with
all the names of the wheat pro-

A 1,oiler Explosion in Tyrrell

A few days ago the boiler of a
new mill at Gum Neck, Tyrrel
County, exploded wrecking the
mill and killing three men, one
white and two colored. The
white man killed was Mr.. Rich
ard Daniels, from near Fairfield,
Hyde county. The mill belong
ed to Mr.. +. N. Husscy, a brother
of Mr.. Charles Hussey who is
engineer on the steamer Neuse.
1t was run by Mr.. ". B. Cooper
who had leased it. The loss is
probably about $1,000. The ex-
plosiOn was unusal in its charac-
ter. The shell of the boiler did not
burst, the tubes simply blew out
at the end cutting their way as
they went through tilnbers and
masonry forming the foundation
of the mill and caused it to col
lapse Immediately. The tubes
did not keep together, but scat
tered like shot, some of them
going several hundred yards be-
yond the nill--some of them in
their flight passed entirely
through twelve inch cypress log,
like bullet would through thin
plank.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eusta chian Tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you have rum bling sound Or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an innamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall S

OYSTER CASES SETTLED
Costs in Pamlico County Cases
Nearly $4,000.
SUITS BROUGHT BY THE SOLICIT
OK AGAINST OYSTERMEN
FOR ENTERING NATU-
RAJ OYSTER BEDS
DECIDED AGAINST
THE STATE

YN Pamlico Superior court
~ last week the 697 oyster
cases that have been on the
docket several years were dis
posed of.
These 697 cases were all
against oystermen for violations
of the State laws protecting the
natural oyster beds in the East
ern waters.
The cases came about in this
way: The legislature of 1891
authorized the State Shell Fish
Commissioners to locate and de-
termine the natural oyster beds
III the waters of Eastern North
Carolina, and provided that
grounds not SO declared natural
oyster beds should be open to
entry, as other public lands. The
Legislature of 1898 authorized
and directed the solicitors of the
several districts, upon the afi>
davit OF five resid nte that a nat
ural oyster bed had been entered
under the frst-naned act, to i'll
stitute action in the name of the
State against such grantee to va
cate and set aside the grant.
BY authority Of this act Of the
Legislature of 1898, the solicitor
instituted 607 cases in the Supe~
rlor court Of Pamlico county.
Before these cases were called
for trial a similar case came up
from Hyde county in the Su-
preme court. The Supreme
court held that the grantees, un~
der the act of the legislature of
1891, acquired vested right in
the lands covered by their grants;
and held that the act of 1893
was unconstitutional III so far as
1t attempted to invalidate said
grants.
Upon the authority Of this de
cision of the Supreme court the
solicitor entered non suit in all
the cases in Pamlico county, and
Judge Robinson rendered judg>
ment against the State for the
costs.
The costs will amount to be-
tween three and four thousand
dollars.
This was probably the largest
mum Der OF cases ever on docket
in any court in this Sta e.
Judge Robinson had to sign
his name nearly seven hundred
times. This is certainly the
largest number of Judgments
ever signed by one judge at a
single term of the court in North
Carolina.
But the case is not yet out of
court.
The decision of Judge Robin
son that the State must pay the
large costs of these actions will
not be allowed to stand without
contest
As soon as the judge rendered
Judgment against the State, So
1icitor Leary, on behalf of the
State, appealed to the Supreme
court BY agreement testcase
was made up, and this will be
heard at the October term of the
court.
