Word comes from Washington that
the secretary OF the treasury will urge
the coinage OF a new disk OF silver
money. The troubles in China have
caused a scarcity OF Mexican silver
dollars in Manila and throughout the
Philippines. it being estimated that
only about 4o.oooO 900 remains. The do
mand has raised the price OF the pieces
to 50 cents. To meet the demands and
also to provide a currency that will be
accepted by the Filipinos and be
entirely practicable, the secretaries OF
war aud the treasury have decided upon
an'insuiar dollar. TO be OF the weight

to be redeenable upon demand at the

BOUGHT BY GEN. RANSOM.
"Polenta" Farm Passes Into the Hands
Of the States Largest Farmer.
(Roanoke. Chowan Times

The well known ''Polenta farm, situated on
the Roanoke river six miles from Rich Square
and comprising about twenty two hundred (2,200)
acres, was sold last Monday by Samuel r. Bux-
ton, ESQ.,, executor of the late Jno w. Bux-
ton, and was bought by Gen. Matt w. Ransom
for $4,000.
This is one of the most valuable stock farms
in the State, and is well suited to growth of
cotton, corn and small grain. The late owner
a good business well farmer and
kept itemized account of his farm expense
separate and apart from all other business.
Every cent of expense on account of the farm
was charged to the farm, and credit given for
all sales of stock and other products His books
show that his annual profits were between one
thousand and two thousand six hundred dollars.
The net profits for last year amounted to more
than s., 500, or over % per cent on the invest
ment in the farm including implements, stock,
&c. There is perhaps a thousand dollars worth
of wire fencing on the farm, it being divided
up in farm and pastures. 1t was thought by
many that the farm would bring S., 000
Gen. Ransom owns about 10000 acres
of arabic land in Northampton, besides his hold
iugs in Halifax. Much of his land is worth from
S25 to $50 per acre for farming purposes. He
is the largest cotton farmer in the State. His
cotton crop amounts to from twelve hundred to
two thousand bales annually and he owns and
works over two hundred horses and mules. The
purchase of the ''Polenta" farm will increase
the number.
Gen. Ransom has been very fortunate in Sc
curing tenants for his numerous farms. He is
the same Chesterfield in manners when among
the poorest of his neighbors and tenants as he
is when at the capital of the State or Nation,
or in the most fashionable society anywhere.

VIOLATED INTERSTATE LAWS
s, p. Shatter & Co., Found Guilty and
Fined $1,000.
0y The Associated Press. J.

Savannah, Ga, March 9.-ln the United
States District Court today counsel for
the firm of S. P. Shotter ana Company,
the largest naval stores exporters in the
South, entered plea of guilty technically
to charge of the violation of the Inter-
state Commerce Law, and the firm was
fined 81 600 by Judge Speer In making
the plea the counsel distinctly stated
that the violation of the law was with
ort criminal intent and the court so &C
cepted it, The basis of the suit was
that certain cars of spirits turpentine
shipped to Detroit by the defendant were
marked as containing six thousand gal
Ions. whereas as matter of fact they
contained about $500 gallons. The ship
ments were made by weight so many
pounds to the gallon. Differences in
weight of turpentine under varying tenn
peratures and differences of calculating
weight per gallon led to the wrong bill
ing. according to the claim Of the de-
Tense.

GEO. ROBERTSON MUST PAY 800
For Accusing Upchurch of Stealing
Half Bushel of Corn.

The jury in the Upchurch Robertson
SANDER suit, yesterday morning brought
in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff Up
church for 500.
Robertson declares he will not pay the
damage assessed and an appeal to the
Supreme court will be taken. Upchurch
sued for $4,000.
The jury was out all night. The first
question to be settled was whether or
not Robertson slandered Upchurch when
he said Upchurch stole bushel of corn.
On this there was some division and it
was 10 o'clock before it was agreed that
the charge was a SANDER.
Then the question of damages was
taken up and not settled till nearly noon.
Several of the jurors thought $4,000 about
right, others argued that $500 was enough,
with still others contended for penny
and costs.
Finally compromise verdict of 800
was agreed upon.

MAY REFUSE THE
MUSEUM ANNEX
New Building is Faulty in
Construction.
THE WALLS ARE WARPED
AND SOME BRICK USED IN THEM
THE WALLS ARE WARPED
AND SOME BRICK USED IN THEM
ARE ROTTEN.
so SAY MEMBERS OF BUILDING COM.
The Old Building is Likewise Considered Un-
safe by Architects and May Have to be
RemodeIed. Heating Plant to
Cost $1,000.

It is quite possible that the Building
culture may refuse the annex to the
State Museum which is now in process
of construction.
At the recent session of the board the
committee inspected the building, which
is now completed, except the inside work,
and they found it far from satisfactory.
A member of the committee says that
they found the walls of the building bad
ly warped and that some of the brick
used are so poor that they have already
rotted out, though the building was be-
gun much less than a year ago. Unless
these defects are remedied, and that sat
isfactorily, the building will be refused
though what will be done with it in such
case is not easy to conjecture.
In his report before the board, Prof
J. A. Holmes called attention to the de-
feotive brick in the walls, but expressed
the belief that the defects could be over
come without tearing the building down,
and if so he thought it would be well to
accept the structure.
The work throughout has been rather
roughly done, according to members OF
the Building committee, which is COM
posed of Messrs. Cunningham, Holmes,
Bruner, Bailey and Patterson.
Prof Holmes estimated in his report
that beside the cost of the building itself
the heating plant could not be put in for
less than So, 600. This will have to be
considered at the June meeting, as we'll
as the matter of furnishing the annex
with the necessary cases for the exhibits,
many of which are now on hand and
waiting for the completion of the build
ing. A necessary part of the furnishing
also will be better fire protection than
is now available, as fire proof arrange
ments were neglected in the plan of the
buildings, old and new. The necessary
protection may be found in portable fire
extinguishers and hose connected with
the city water system.
AS to the old building, Prof Holmes
said that it is considered unsafe by ar
chitects in it's present condition, and
that iron rods are now being used to hold
it together. He thought that it should be
remodelled and changed, especially the
front of the building, while more or less
extensive repairs will be necessary
throughout. The aggregate cost of these
changes and repairs will amount to d
considerable sum.
The completion of the annex has now
been delayed considerably beyond the
date first fixed by the contractor and the
Building committee, but as the contract
imposes no penalty for such delay the
committee is powerless in the premises
and the contractors can take their time.
