ASK FOR NEW BONDS.
County Commissioners Serve Notice Up
on Sheriff J. L. Hahn.
CNewrbern Journal.)

(Newbern Journal.)
There was sensation near the close
of the meeting of the county commission.
ers, yesterday, when Attorney Ward
upon request of Chairman Smallwood,
read notice to Sheriff j. III. Hahn
which said in substance that the county
commissioners were mot satisfied with
his present bond and asked that he give
such personal sureties as would satisfy
the board.
Before accepting service, Sheriff Hahn
sent for his attorney and upon comsulta-
tion agreed to accept the notice, and
September 18th, was set as a day for the
hearing of the case.
The action of the commissioners in
the matter is based upon the act of the
last Legislature which abrogated tng
law en- county officers bonds as passed
by the Legislature of 1895, and leaves
the matter subject to the Code, thus Civ
ing the commissioners the right to de
mand at amy meeting additional bonds
Of county officers. if i'm their discretion
they deem the bonds of these officials to
be insufficient.
This case is most important one and
win no doubt prove most interesting
from a political point of view before il
is concluded.

SOME STUNNING FIGURES.

The Mount Olive Advertiser says:
There are 3,640 miles of railroad in
North Carolina, and it is taxed, on an
average, only $4,000 mile. In Ten
nessee there are 5000 miles, and it is
taxed on an average, $4,000 a mile.
Tennessee has GAO miles less of railroad
than North Carolina, yet collects taxes
on S23, 100000 worth more OF railroad
property than does the Old North
State" And yet Tennessee Is not so
much more "thickly populated" than
North Carolina. In some respects it is
not as prosperous. Why should the
railroads in North Carolina claim they
are robbed when they are paying only
half as much as they are in our sister
State under almost identical conditions?

appreciated the value of
securities, hence the latter are more to
the liking of the capitalist.
Trainers of political platforms will do
well TO adjust their planks to fit these
opinions. The farmer has not only
been doing some hard thinking but
some independent thinking and will vote
next year on the line of his conclu-

Those editors and politicians of the
yellow stripe who fatter themselves
that because crops have been good the
past two years and prices better
the farmer has changed his opinions
on the money question will doubtless

The vote Of 1860 to 2,756 in favor

overpowering to be conquered by reso-

The rebels, it appears, are concentrating in the neighborhood of Manila. with the intention of attacking that place. Great preparations are being made for the defence of the city. The Spanish neral also asserts that the native Of the Vizayas have again refused to permit the Ameri- cans to land, threatening to resist by force il an attempt is made to do so. The Americans, therefore, ae- cording to Gen. Rios, have abandon ed the idea of disembarking, and he confirms previous statement to the effect that they are unwilling to lombard Iloilo, because the Euro. pean houses are stocked with petro- leum with the view of being set alight by American shells.

TO BE MADE HEADQUARTERS FoRTRAFFIC DEPARTMENT
 OF THE COTTON BELT.
A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
" H. Quigs, of Little Rock, Will Have eharge-The Change Bepe-
 fieiaI to All of Arkansas.

Russell Harding, vice-presldento o the Cotton Belt road, has visited this city very frequently of late and is much impressed with the business and general appearance of Pine Bluff. He has already made this place the headquarters for the trans. portation department, having con solidated the Missouri division with the Arkansas division, which makes this place the headquarters of both divisions.
 Other improvements ard changes to Pine Bluffs advantage are ex- peeted to occur very shortly. It is reported here by people who are thoroughly acquainted with the facts, that it is the intention of Mr. Harding to make several railroad changes and improvements in the traffic department under the present organization. The business of the traffic department is conducted at and handled from St. Louis, although a division freight office in this State would be perfectly competent To do the work with less expense to the company and with much better and quicker results for the shipping public MT Harding realizes this, and it is his purpose to establish a general freight office at Pine Bluff, and do away with the unnecessary expense, as is the general freight office now stationed at St. Louis.
 Over fifty per cent of the traffic of the Cotton Belt originates or has it's destination in the State of Ar kansas, and it is unreasonable to have the general freight office of the road situated at a point 400 miles away from the traffic zone and over 150 miles distance from the nearest point on the rails of the Cotton Belt.
 MT. William H. Quigg, of Little Rock, we have been reliably inform ed, will have full charge of tbe gem eral freight office here, and the mer- chants of Pine Bluff and of other cities through which the Cotton Belt passes, will be gratifed to learn of this contemplated change.

Has 8 Great Future Before It If Pains
 Arc Taken to Develop It.
 The great staple of Venezuela is cof-
 fee; but, as the prices are now very
 low, 1t might be we'll if farmers would $ turn their attention to other plants
 which give a more lucrative return. # The yucca appears to have great fu- ture before it.
 This is a very productive plant, and, 5 although we'll known In Venezuela, no
 one has yet taken especial pains to de- Yelop it. One hectare (2,471 acres1 of z land upon which yucca is grown will produce 150 quintals (15,000 pounds) Hof starch, or 200 quintals (20000 Hpounds) of tapioca. The plant is easi- y and eheaply cultivated. It will stand bad weather, and the dry season 5 does not affect it. It can be raised on
 any soil. The yucca will thrive in the same soil with peas, corn and beans, and ground so utilized becomes far more remuneratiHe than land planted
 In coffee One hectare of titled soil will produce 1,600 coffee plants. Allow ing the maximum yield of coffee per plant, heetare will produce quintals of coffee. On the same ground the yucca will yield 150 quintals of starch, exclusive of the other crops, from the same soil. These other crops will ag- Hgregate 12 bushels of corn, 12 bushels Hof peas, and 12 bushels of beans. This twill make land in which the yucca is planted from six to seven times as re- |munerative as when planted in coffee. Means of cultivation are primitive. |Ploughs and other modern American Earning implements are almost un- known there.
