UP TO THE STANDARD.
No Fertilizers Analysed This Year
FallIBelow the Requirements.

No fertilizer analysed ut the expert
ment station this year has failed to
come up TO the registered standard Of
the department. This is il great change
from a few years ago when fertilizers
deficient in some Of the important ingre-
dents were frequently found on the mar
ket. This is one good result of the sta
ton work.
Latterly also the station has taken mp
the analysis of foods, particularly
canned goods, offered on the State mar
kets Analysis have shown many Of
them to contain salieylic acid and other
harmful representatives" 1t is the In
tention of the station to go more largely
into the analysis of foods this winter
and so soon as it can establish a stand
ard of purity the Department will be
asked to make regulations under the
pure food law prohibiting the sale of
all foods that do not come up to the
standard. North Carolina is taking the
lead among Southern States in the
movement against adulterated foods.

TOM SMITH TO BE TRIED AGAIN
Taken to Johnston County From Here
Yesterday.

THE negro Tom Smith, vino has been
i'm jail here for safe keeping was yestqr-
day taken back to Johnston county "a
stand trial again for murder
The negro, it will be remembered. lived
near Selma. He, with HIS Wife, father
and mother, had just returned from the
town last Christmas when three white
men, Charles CaIwtholm, Graham Garner
and Thos. Winfrey came along the pub-
lie road, wearing masks, firing a pistol
and shooting off fire works.
AS they were about in 'front.' of Smith
house, i'm the road, he rushed ont with
Il butcher knife in his hand, and attack
ing the men. killed CawthoTn and dar-
gerously wounded Winfrey For ,his
homicide, Smith was tried at the Aurl1 Il
term of Johnston Superior court and con-
victed of murder in the first deg-na.
From this sentence he appealed, and the
Supreme court recently granted him n
new trial, on the ground that under ,he
law dividing murder into two degrees,
the evidence was mot sufficient to Justify
the Judges charge to the jury that the
killing was with deliberati0n and pre-
meditation.
Though Smith has been taken back to
,Shit hfield for his new trial, 1T is hardly
probable THAT he will be tried at this SEES
sion of court. 1t lis understood that tle
case will be moved to some other county
by consent of both the prosecution and
defence so that there may be no do lbt
of an absolutely fair and impartial trial

MUSEUM ANNEX.
Building Rapidly Approaching Com
pletion. What Will Go In Tt.

The annex of the State museums is
progressing rapidly and will, it is esti-
mated, be completed by January the
first. Secretary Bruner said yesterday
that there are already several ear loads
of stuff ready to go in the new building,
and he estimates that it viii not he very
long before it will be filed and the de-
partmcnt will need more room. This
will probably revive the project to build
north and south additions to the capitol
for the use of the Supreme court and
public library as the Supreme court and
library building is on the Agricultural
Department property This will be the
only means of giving the Museum more
room as there is no site for another
building.
Secretary Bruner will go to Wash
ington next week to learn the newest
methods of museum arrangement, and
to look after the preparation of North

Raleigh's Street improvements.

tits wonderful vast improvement
that has been made on the streets of
Raleigh within the past few years. Few
even of our own citizens realize it, and
it will be worth their time to drive or
walk around the city to see the great
transformation that has been wrought.
The hills have been graded down, the
bottoms filled up, the sidewalks curbed
and paved, the streets macadamized, old
decayed trees removed and new ones
set out. And with this Improvement in
the streets on the part Of the city has
come corresponding improvement in
private residences and grounds by prop
erty owners, until Raleigh is becoming
in very truth one of the most beautiful
little cities in the South. Within the
last half dozen years and less, city
pride has been awakened as never be-
fore and it's beneficial influence is seen
on every hand.

Very satisfactorily progress is being
made i'll the construction of the dam
for the cotton mill ait the Falls OF

sary built TO it. If the weather does
not interfere too much with the work
all will be ready TO begin active opera
tions by late spring. lit is estimated
that there viii be about 10000
spindles. There has been great de-
mand for stock in the mill, $150,000 be-
ing subscribed, though only 100000
was asked for. 1t is thought that the
capacity of the mill viii be enlarged as
the power win more than suffice for the
requirements of the plant as projected.

Views and Interviews.

Mr. G. d. Ray, leading Democrat of
Yancey, who is in the city, says that
Yancey Democracy is as firm as the rock
of Gibraltar. AT first he admits he had
some fear that in the mountaEn counties
some Democrats would oppose the Con-
stitutiomal Amendment but he says as
they have read it and come to- under
stand it they have become enthusiastic in
its support Il think that Ynncey will
give a bigger majority for the amend
lment than lit has ever for the Democratic
nominees. Where we lose Democratic
vote we will gain three Republicans
Quite q number of Republicans in my
county declare they will support it as
they are tired of the negro in politics.
and some of them will be certain to vote
as they say. Though surrounded ON ONE
side by Madison and upon the other by
AIitchell, both nossy back Republican
counties, Yancey has remained true to
the Democracy Through all these years
and will be found giving a good majority
for the amendment i'm August, 1900.
II see the pardon mill still grtnds mer
rily," said n gentleman Yesterday,
though Governor Russell no longer
makes his acts of clemency public
regard the abuse of the pardCning power
as one of the most shameful things in
Governor Russell's administration"
OF this the Greensboro Record gives
a pertinent instance:
Governor Russell has pardOned Ed.
and Arthur OrTrell who were sent to the
county roads a few weeks aao to- serve
= lx-o g..
breaking into a house. They Were con.
vieted at the last December term of
court along with Charles Robertson, who
has also been pardoned. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme court, where the
verdict of the lower court was confirms
ed. Pending the hearing of the appeal
the OrreH boys departed for parts un-
known, returning a few weeks ago,
when they Were arrested and sent out
to the convict camp. We do not doubt
that the granting of pardons is just and
proper in some instances, but we are of
the or6niIon that the prerogative' is often
abused If the lick is to he kept up the
Taxpayers will begin to wonder why the
necessity exists of putting the county to
the heavy expense of detecting and com
vioting criminals if they are to be imme-
Rtfdtcly pClIhVil vi Ailtl-
ested friends and relatives. When per-
SONS are guilty of some grave offence,
aqIl the evidence of guilt is conclusive.
we are unable to see any reason for
granting a pardon. Such action does
not further the ends of justice"
Judge Spencer b. Adams, of Greens
boro, spent yesterday i'm the city. Now
the Judge has been talked of for the Re
publican nomination for Governor, and so
/ asked him what about it.
II don't know anything about il" he
replied.
''Well, You must have seen it in the

Only in the Democratic papers; not

Day. Ever since last June they have

The outlook for the passage of the
anti-spit ordinance, proposed at the last

Cook, is not very bright. 1t is acknowl-

cars would be good thing, but as for
the streets, the general opinion is that
it would be better to wait till we come
to the asphalt pavement stage in city
