In Memoriam.

Thomas Ruffin, the second son of Hon.
Thomas Ruffin and Mary c. Ruffin, was
born at Graham on the 1st day of October,
1862, and departed this life al Mont
gomery, Alabama, at $50 a. M, Septem
Der G. 1900.
AT the time of receiving the injuries,
which resulted in his death, he was en-
gagged as a contractor for building rail-
road near Dothan, Alabama, and on Au
gust 21st, after waiting, as he supposed a
sufficient time for a blast to go off, APP
preached to ascertain the cause of failure
to explode, when the delayed explosion
took place. and he was seriously and
dangerously wounded He was carried to
the hospital of DR.. Hill in Montgomery,
where re received the best of care and
attention, and although greatly improved
in many respects, an injury TO the brain
was afterwards discovered which could
not be relieved and caused his death.
Coming to Hillsboro. with the removal
of his fathers family in 1874, at the age
of twelve years, his school days had been
passed in our midst. and for some years
he had the advantages of course in
some branches at the University, but he
preferred a life of out door and open air
exercise, and took great delight in the
construction of work CT internal improve
ment, and management and control of
forces operating in the development Of the
country, and in the pursuit of his bust
ness he was achieving success.
While his visits to the old homestead
could not be frequent, he always looked
forward to them with unfeigned pleasure,
and was boy again when he reached it's
hallowed precincts. Frank, open and gen.
erous in all his actions his warm heart
and impulsve nature made many friends,
and he was ever ready for acts of kind
ness and sacrifice to oblioe others.
To the mother to whom he was de-
votedly attached, and whose life his let
tiers did much to cheer and make her
burdens light, how different the home
coming she was expecting. "In the midst
of life we are in DEATH" and we cannot
tell what a day may bring forth.
In the quiet church yard of Saint
Matthews, with the setting sun, his body
was laid to rest, and the memory of the
buoyant nature, the unselfsh love, and
warm appreciation of his home and it's
endearing ties, will remain to those who
in quiet submission, but with broken
hearts, endeavor to say, "Thy will be
DONE

AN UNPLEASANT EPISODE RECALLED
Mr.. Cyrus Thompson Copying the Grants Is
sued by Glasgow, Secretary of State.

Secretary Thompson was engaged in
sorting and casing the papers made out
by James Glasgow the Secretary of State
who was charged with making false en-
tries and making fraudulent land grants
in 1895. A few weeks ago Mr.. Thompson
received a request for copies of certain Of
these grants, to be used in evidence in a
suit in Tennessee, over land that was orr
ginally granted from this State during
Glasgow's incumbency. To get the prop
er grants it became necessary to go
through the entire 6t of papers, and Mr..
Thompson decided that this is q good
time to give them more substantial pro-
lection than they have had. Mr.. Thomp
son says they should be bound The pa
pers are all of them extremely yellow,
but the hand writing is very clear and
distinct, being almost as legible as print.
The report of the committee which, as
the result of their investigation, found
Glasgow guilty, is especially well pre-
served, and was executed by skillful
penman.
1t will be remembered that Glasgow was
one of the Revolutionary heroes, and was
for several years after the close of that
war Secretary of State of North Carolina.
So highly was he esteemed that a county
was named after him. He later became
involved in serious land stealing schemes
with John Armstrong, the claim entry
officer for the State, and was impeached
and the Legislature changed the name of
the county to Greene, in honor of General
Francis Greene, another war hero, but
who was not a native of North Carolina.
The judge who was to have presided at
the trial, resigned and received a thou
sand dollar fee for defending the land
thieves.
Tennessee was at that time part Of
North Carolina, and nearly all the fraud
ulent grants were located there. The his
tory of the affair is the most interesting,
though least creditable chapter in the
States history.

COTTON KEEPS CLIMBING UP,
It's Statistical Position Such as to Promise
Higher Prices.

Cotton went up another quarter of
a cent in Raleigh yesterday and buy
ers were glad to get the best grades
at 10 80 and the lowest grade at 10 1-S
This is an advance of exactly cents
in two weeks. On September LIST cot
ton was selling here on the streets
for S1a cents; by September 5th, it
hid risen to 9A, and yesterday it was
10 3-S, with all indications favorable
to further advance.
This is the highest price recorded
since September IA, 1890, when cotton
touched 1924. Estimating the weight
of a bale of cotton at 500 pounds, the
rise in the price would make each
bale worth $3.50 more than it was on
September ! has been nearly $40 a.
bale. Should prevailing prices be cur
rent at the end of the new crop year
experts estimate that the South chief
staple will yield at least 100000, 900
more than the crop which has just
been marketed.
The phenomenal rise in the market
is attributable almost wholly to the
evidences that the new crop will not
be larger than the last crop, which
amounted to 9,4395,59 bales.
All indications point to Il lucrative
season for the American cotton pro-
Queer and cotton dealer, and little
surprise will be felt by well-informed
observers of the situation, it is said
if spot cotton should touc-- II or even
11H cents a pound before November
With large contracts for nearby de-
livery of cloths staring them in the
face, there seems to De little cause
for wonder that LlverpooL spinners
are nearly demoraliZed. 1t is declar-
ed that fully so per cent. OF the COM
paratively small amount of cotton
now in store in that city is entirely
unsuited to the needs of English
spinners and at least 40 per cent of
the remainder is held by men who will
not sell under ordinary conditions.
Nearly all estimates agree in fixing
the present visible supply" of cotton
at the lowest point for 80 years, the
whole worlds stoch on hand being
only about one-Ghird of what it was
this time a year ago. The highest
estimate of the number of bales of
raw cotton in the world tOday1s 1,200,-
600 bales.
1t is calculated that the growing
crop will not exceed 10,000,000 bales,
and yet the worlds consumption for
the last three years has been II, 800, 000
bales. The storm, which wrought
such destruction in the southwest yes

sending nrices soaring. a cotton fam

PLEASED WITH THE STATE.
Mr.. Kolischer, a German Capitalist, Sees Some
of the Best Parts of the State.

Mr.. John w. Thompson, Commits
sioner of Immigration, has returned
from a visit to Western North Caro-
lima He went up with Mr.. Adolph
Kolischer, a German investor, who is
in North Carolina to look at some
farm lands. Mr. Kolischer visited
Southern Pines. through the Iied-
mont section, the Waldese colony,
Biltmore and other fine farms in
North Carolina. He was greatly pleas
ed with what he saw. He says that
there are thousands of thrifty Ger
mans who have savings of from 81
900 to $4,000 who would come 10
North Carolina if they know OF IFS
cheap lands and fine climate.
Mr.. Thompson says that Mr.. Hollis
cher has been greatly pleased with
what he has seen in North Carolina.
HeFwill be in Raleigh shortly after
completing some further examinations
of property which he is Investigating.
North Carolina offers warm and cor
dial welcome TO such good men as Mr..
Kolischer.
Mr.. Thompson says that the people
in the Waldese colony in Burke coun-
ty are getting on finely. They have
fine church, first rate schools, well
attended, and excellent farms. Mr..
Solirgot, a Valdensian. who came over
with the colony seven years ago,
bought forty-five acres of the noun
tain land uncleared Today he has il
fine state of cultivation, a nice dwell
ing. splendid out houses, and showed
us 200 bushels of wheat which he had
threshed from eleven acres of land.
He has a fine crop of pears on the
land, and has fine vineyard. In his
cellar he has 800 gallons of wine made
this year. He has paid for his land.
He has no family except son. Other
colonists are doing well on what
some of our papers said, at the time
of their location, to be the poorest
land in North Carolina. These are
more than forty families and over
800 people. They are well satisfied.
The people in Burke esteem them and
are glad to have them as citizens. They
are Industrious and conduct them
selves in a way to win respect.
''After a visit to Biltmore." added
Mr.. Thompson, 1--WE also visited the
fine apple farm of Mr.. George f..
Boggs, in Haywood county. He got
fourteen bushels of apples from one
tree. That is the finest apple coun-
try in the world.

THE WILEY SCHOOL.
This School Building Just About Completed A
Convenience to Western Part of City

AS has been already announced, the
public schools of the city will open for
the fall session on August 2Sth On this
day all the schools of the city will be
filled.
The opening date, while somewhat late,
is about the usual time, selected by the
school committee. The school children of
Raleigh have had long vacation, and
they are all looking forward to the time
when they will return to their books. The
city schools are the equal of any in the
State.
The new school in East Raleigh, which
is located on the old Watson property, has
been named the Crosby school. The
school was named in honor of II. C.
Crosby, who taught for many years in
the Garfield school, and upon his death
bequeathed the estate, which was valued
at $4,000 to Shaw University. The late
Prof. Crosby did much for the educational
development of his race and the action
of the committee in naming the school
in his honor is indeed commendable.
j. w. Lyon, well equipped instruc-
tor, has been chosen principal of the
Crosby school,
Miss Meta Rogers was elected principal
of the Garfield school.
The completion of the Wiley school
building marks an important epoch in the
educational progress of Raleigh. 1t is
situated in the western part of the city
on Morgan street, and will be one of the
best equipped and arranged school build
ings of the city.
The building, which is two stories
high. has eight large school rooms with
cloak rooms attached to each. In addi-
ton, there will be a library and a teach
ers' room, as we'll as a number of small
recitation rooms for the primary grades.
1t has wide halls and two broad stair
cases affording ample exit in case of fire.
The plan upon which it is built is almost
Identical with the plan made by Chicago
architects for the public school building
at West Centre Kansas.
The plans for the Wiley school we've
drawn by Pearson and Ashe, and the con-
tract awarded to Zachary & Zachary It's
cost is approximately $4,000. The heat
ing apparatus is on the hot air system of
the Teck- Hammond Company, of Cincin-
natl. When completed and few days
work will complete it, it will be second
to none OF the city's school luildings Its
erection is also tardy act of Justice to
the patrons in the western part of the
city, but who will hail il with Joy.

ALL CROPS CUT OFF
Blight of the Drought Settles
Over the State.
All Crops Are Deteriorating in Condition Every
Day. Wells Drying Up and Cattle
Suffering For Water.

The Weather Bureau here yesterday
issued another very unfavorable crop
report. The drought and hot weather
have continued all over the State, and
crops, already cut fearfully short by
it, have still further deteriorated.
The report says:
There was almost an entire absence of
rain during the week, and, although the
nights have become somewhat cooler, the
days have been cloudless and the sun
bright and hot; the maximum tempera-
ture rose above 80 degrees during the
last few days, and the mean for the week
was over degrees above normal. These
conditions have necessarily caused fur
Their deterioration in such crops as pea
nuts, sweet potatoes, field peas, and some
late corn, which were expected to yield
fairly good crops under favorable circum-
stances. Owing to the drought very
small crop of turnips was planted, and
many have died after coming UP. The
saving of fodder is nearly over, and the
yield is of poor quality and short. Fall
plowing has again ceased, and prepare
lions for planting winter wheat, oats and
rye are very backward. A large number
OF correspondents report that springs,
small streams and wells have dried UP,
and in some instances stock is suffering
for water. The consumption of water in
some towns has been curtailed by order.
Cotton is now from one-half to two
thirds open, and is being picked as rapid
ly as the supply of labor will permit; in
many sections cotton is open from top to
bottom, and elsewhere it is opening so
fast that fields will be picked clean near
ly month earlier than usual The con-
dition of corn can not change materially
now; the crop is very poor; the weather
was favorable for saving fodder Cutting
and curing tobacco is approaching COM
pletion. Sweet potatoes, peanuts, peas
and turnips will all be short. Spanish
peanuts are being harvested. In some
fields rice is suffering from blight. Cut
ting peavine hay has commenced some
fears have been expressed that the sup
ply of green food for stock will be short.
