Product.
Two.thirds of the worlds sugar crop
Is now produced In beets. None OF the
other foodstuffs has seen such rapid de-
velOpment. In 1854 the total product
was less than $4,000 tons. Ten years
later it was about 100000 tons. In
1871 1t reached and passed the 1,OOO,-
600 mark. From that time on there
was gradual Increase annually, as the
cultivation Of sugar beets developed IN
the different countries Of Europe, until
In 1893 the product reached the total OF
5000, 600 tons year, more than twice
Is much as was produced from cane.

CAPT. DUDLEY A WHITE MAN.
pecapitated Because He Would Not
Sell His Birthright

Elizabeth City, n. c., Feb. 10
Especial A short time before the
State Police steamer Lille went into
commission after being overhauled-
there sprung up a correspondence be-
tween Carl Duncan and Capt. Dudley
i'll charge as Captain of her. Mr.. Dun
can opened the correspondence by asking
the captain his politics, and how he
stood on the Constitutional amendment.
In reply to these questions the captain
s'lid:" | ann a Populist and a white one
and that he favored the adoption of the
proposed Constitutional amendment. No
sooner said than Capt, Dudley was
placed upon the partizan guilotine and de-
capitated and one Smith, of Beaufort
was placed in charge OF the Lille. The
great dispenser of political patronage
the Revenue Doodle, failed to purchase
Dudley's birthright for a mess of pot
tage.
He stated emphatically that when the
question of race supremacy was the IS
sue he was for upholding and maintain
ing White Supremacy. There is a de
termination of the white man in this
section to control the political destinies
of the State.
