DANGER IN A BIG COTTON cRop

Report comes to Raleigh that the
farmers in Wake and some of the East
ern counties are making greater prep
arations than for serera1 years to plant
large crops of cotton. The rise in the
price has stimulated the IN
crease in acreage. There has been
greater demand for fertilizers, and
the prices Of mules and horses have
gone up by reason Of the demand for
them on cotton plantations
This paper is no authority on farm
ing, but it believes that no farmer viii
be wise to quit raising his supplies to
plant more cotton. The experience Of
the most uniformly successful farmers
has been that home supplies ought to
be made, and that then as much land
ought to be put in money crops, diver
sified, as can be profiitably grown.
A big cotton crop this year means
another cent crop. A crop short like
that Of 1895, means in the neighbor-
hood Of 8 cents. Those farmers who
are planning for a big increase on tho
strength Of the higher price will fnd
they have made big mistake if their
example is generally followed through
out the South A crop Of fair size will
bring as much money as a big crop, and
more profit

The charge that the Butte team Of

ly false. The Butte team believed that
the Reliance could be defeated. and Of
fered the entire gate receipts of

sum should amount to $4,000. This is
the regular course of procedure. The
Reliance men didn't object to playing

play the Butte team on the score of

to admit OF a game at that time owing

He and His Band of Rurslists VIII Show
at Maguire's To- Night.

Uncle Josh Spruceby and his hayseed

a few other things rural will arrive in

BY" comedy drama that deals in New
England life. Its reception at the Grand
opera house yesterday afternoon and last
night while 1t was enthusiastic, was not
more than the lines, the scenic effects,
the specialties, and, above all, the per-
sonnet of the cast. merited.
The tender pathos that shows through
the troubles of the honest Yankee, Josh
Spruceby, is met at every situation by his
wit and humor of peculiar circumstances.
A daughter led away from the rural homo
to big city, calls Uncle Josh to the me-
tropolis, there to encounter swindlers Of
high and low grade. Awkward perplexi-
ties beset him on all sides, and there his
native wit has full play to make fun
enough for any star attraction. Burt
Hodgkins, or better to know him, Yam
kee Hodgkins, makes the most of the
honest ruralist who has these pathetic
and ludicrous experiences. lie has avoided
the tendency of vulgar caricature i'm this
part. He has neither outlandish makeup
nor exaggerated uncouthness, but looks
the farmer as he is in New England ami
talks his twang. Along with his character
work he is good in song and specialties
Frank Purcell plays a Dutch part to
a nicely in makeup ana language. The
other parts are well taken and each one
affords an opportunity for noticeably ex-
cellent work"
Chief among the specialties is Mile
Ottahes skirt dancing. This is executed
with extraordinary grace, complete and
neat, without unnecessary loud results
"Of the special scenic effects the real
sawmill takes first place. An innocent and
abused young wife is thrown before the
real whirling saw that is really saving a
real log, and before she is rescued is so
near the rasping teeth of the saw that a
woman's voice in the balcony yesterday
afternoon created a little commotion by
crying out in behalf of the unfortunate
young womans rescue"

GENERAL J. E. B. STUART, c. 8. A. ssis
Hooker from the Rappahannock to Penn
sylvania in Sine, 1853, but all old troop
ers recognize the combat on the right flank
at Gettysburg as the first real cavalry bat
tie Of the war. And soldiers who survived
that field agree that the First Virginia
fought the ncblest of any regiment there
on either side. Stuart's command had
grown to be several brigades, and his3old
regiment was still under Fitz Lee. After
some long range shooting, chiedy with a.
tillery, the Virgininns swung loose from
Stuart's line and -galloped down broad,
open space across the Rummel farm, di-s
rectly upon Gregg's batteries. The First;
New Jersey and Fifth Michigan cavalry
were in line on either side Of the pathway,
and the Seventh Michigan, led by Custer
in person, stood across the end Of 1t, COW
ering the guns. AS the Virginians rode on
between the lines Of fire, Custer met them
in countercharge, leading his men in
with the stirring cry, Come on, you VOL
verenes!'' The columns met at q low stone
fence, and across that, with carbines and
revolvers, the Cavaliers and 'sWolverenes''
fought at arms length. Custer was driv-
en- back, and the Virginians followed al
most to the mouth Of the cannon. After
