the negroes the Biblical Recorder says:
raries somewhat OF the character of our
negro population, let us call their atten-
ton to the conduct of Il great many col
ored men and women in Raleigh and in
other cities with regard to the smallpox.
The first case brought to Raleigh would
have been the last in the city had the
negroes used the simplest precautions.
But instead curiosity and perversty led
them to come in contact with it: they
would congregate about the sick mans
house They would not he vacclnated.
They would trust the Lord"--a cant
phrase of theirs by which they often eN-
cllSe themselves. This is not supcrsti-
ton: it is simple falsehOod: Their OBJ
ject was to escape vaccination. other
cases quickly appeared. Vigorous meas
urcs. clubs and guns. had to he resortcd
to to isolate them. Health officers have
found whole families stricken with the
disease, for nothing would the negroes
report Il case. Instead they would hide
a subject of the disease from the au-
thorities. Instead of being careful. they
went into big religious meetings. aud
their preachers would warn them that if
they STAYED away from the meetings to
escape the epidemic the lord would
overtake them" All sorts of foolish va
carries were set on foot. The negroes de-
clared there was no smallpox: that the
disease was Cuban itch or Elephant
itch. 1t was impossible. under these
to isolate the cases.
What are we to do with Il race like this:
Our Northern friends are acquainted
with only the foremost ncgrocs-iniinte-
" above the rest of their people. They
cannot see us we see. or they would be
more considerable in their treatment of
the questions that arise in respect to the
Negro race.

4 FINE WEEK FOR FARMING.
Corn Crop Half Planted-Cotton Plant
ing Progressing Slowly.


The Weekly Crop Bulletin issued by
the Weather Bureau here for the week
ending Monday. May !. says that during
the week the progress in farm work ana
the growth of crops was rapid and salts
factory. Only Il few unfavorable re-
ports were received from the eastern
section of the State. The weey opened
cloudy with showers from the 25th to
the 9TH, which were needed, as the
ground was beginning to get dry and
hard. The rainfall averaged over half
an inch and proved to be very beneficial
everywhere, except over the coast coun-
ties, where too much rain fell last week.
The ground was nicely softened and
placed in excellent condition for plow-
ing, while the abundant moisture re-
freshed vegetation, induced vigorous
and rapid growth, and will assist mate
rally to secure good stands of cotton
and corn. In Brunswick, New Han
over, Duplin, and neighboring counties
over an inch of rain fell, which was
more than needed; a local downpour
also occurred in Caldwell and Cabarrus
counties, Patterson reporting 80 inches
on the 26th. Some hail occurred with
out doing much damage anywhere. The
mean temperature continued slightly
above the normal the entire week, but
the nights were rather cool, the infiu-
ence of which was chiefly felt in the
east, owing to the prevailing northeast
winds. An increasing and beneficial
amount of sunshine prevailed the latter
part of the week.
Flowing continued actively during the
week; it is to be feared, however, that
planting in many cases has been hnr-
red without sufficient preparation of
the soil.
The corn crop is about half planted,
excluding bottom lands. 1t has come up
to a good stand in many counties, except
in the southeastern section, and is grow
ing nicely. Planting cotton is proceed
ing more slowly, but large areas are
now ready to receive the seeds, and the
bulk of the crops will be put in during
the next two weeks. A little cotton is
up in the extreme south. Tobacco
| plants in beds look well, and plants al
ready set out are making good start.
In the northwest plants are small and
late, and transplanting has not yet be-
gun, though the work is proceeding rap
sown and are growing well. Other grains
continue to improve; wheat and fall
oats are beginning to head in southern
counties. Rice is coming UP nicely i'll
the north, but low land and river rice
lands, Cape Fear district are still toe
wet to work. Irish potatoes are grow
ing rapidly, only a few reports of rot
ting and poor stands have been received
/ Truck farms are very fine. Early peas
are being shipped from the extreme
south, and are blooming nicely further
north Strawberries are blooming from
east to west, while shipments of early
| fruit to the north continue from the
w. Il W. district. Melons are coming
up nicely. The prospects for apples ano
cherries seem to be especially good
Pastures look fresh and green, and clio
yer is very fine.

FIRE BUGS IN STOUGHTON.
Two Big Blazes Thought to Be OF In
cendiary Origin.

Stoughton had two big fires Sunday
night both Of which are believed to
be incendiary, and there is much ex-
element in the city. About 10 o'clock
fire was discovered in the livery
barn OF ]. c. Johnson, and despite the
efforts Of the firemen it was burned to
the ground. About II o'clock, and
while the fremen were still working at
the Johnson fire, a blaze broke out in
the Grand hotel livery barn, on the op-
posite side OF the river. owned by
Stergem & MOen, and it too was de-
stroyed, with Is horses, a lot of har-
ness and some buggies. A small ten
ement house owned by Albert Jones.
near the stables, was also burned
down, and the flames communicated to
a pool room connected with the Grand
hotel, but this was saved by hard
work by the firemen. There are four
frame stores in front of the Johnson
barn, but the flames were prevented
from spreading to them. The loss on
the Johnson barn is about s1,400, Ster-
gem & Moen barn $1,000, Jones house
$500, and pool room $500. The losses
are partly covered by insurance.

cago intending to kill both the boys.
We found that George was at work and
went over the tracks and saw him
through a window, but did not speak
to him. We went back to the house
then and told the landlady that George
had told US we could see Walter, even
if he was sick She let us in. 1t was
dark and when I spoke to Walter ne
was on the bed. He recognized my
voice and spoke 10 me, at the same
time drawing on his trousers. He lit
a match and held it up to light the
gas. He succeeded. but just as he
did put my arm around him under his
uplifted arms and stabbed him three
or four times. He cried murder-not
very loud because the knife had gone
deep-and we hurried out and took a
street car. We had rooms at the hotel
but did not go back to them, intending
to catch train and get east as fast as
possible. The policeman arrested us
at Grand Crossing. 1 am sorry now
that I killed him.

Koeller in his boarding house on Full

Revenge and no, jealousy of a
woman. according to Hundhausen, was
the motive, and the stabbing was done
by Honeck with the knife found by the
police in his grip. Several years ago a
series of incendiary fires had occurred
in Hermann. Mo, and other neighbor-
ing towns, and Hundhausen and
Honeck were arrested and put on trial
Koeller. it is said, testified at the time

Gated and largely on his testimony con-
victions were secured. They swore to
have revenge on Koeller. The murder
was planned some time ago. It was
the idea Of the two to make their way
to Baltimore via Cincinnati after the
commission of the crime, and from
IuChtS ~ tRh0 passage " Ad4 OpO OiA q

Confronted by the confession given
by his companion Honeck broke down
and admitted the truth of Hundhaus-
ems statement under the interroga-
tions Of Chief Ripley and Inspector
Shea. "I have for ten years intended
to avenge my brother, who was assas-
sinated in Hermann, Mo- said Ho-
neck. II had been told that the father
of George and Walter Koe1ler had
