FUQUAY SPRINGS TO BE SOLD.
Mr.. Herbert Norris to Get an Order to Sell the
Same For Partition.

The owners of that valuable prop
erty, known as Fuquay Spring, with
two and one-half acres of land, situat-
ed in Wake county, near the intersec-
ton of the Raleigh and Cape Fear
Railroad and the Cape Fear and North
ern Railroad, have not been able to
agree as to the improvements and
control the same, majority of the
owners have retained Mr.. Herbert f..
Norris, of this city, to obtain from
court, an order to sell the same for
partition.
The water of this Spring is said to
contain valuable medicine qualities
for stomach and kidney troubles, as
the many who have received benefit
therefrom will attest. This Spring
has been for many years a popular
place for the people of certain Sec
tons of Wake, Johnston, Harnett and
Chatham counties to gather for pleas
ure and for health. Since the build
ing of the two new railroads there
has been great demand and necessity
for large hotel and other accommo-
dations, hence the property Will De
placed on the market.
The people of Raleigh and this Sec
ton Of the State will rejoice to know
that there is now prospect for the
early development of this fine water
ing pace.
This will be a fine opportunity fol
a good investment if the necessary
improvements and attractions are
made.

declared the act of January 7th, 1896.
null and void: and so much noise was
made about the stupendouS fraud that
the peopIe in every part of the Union
heard of it, especially the moneyed men,
and nobody could pretend ignorance of
it,
The members of the legislature were
brought I'D to vote for the at e 1895 by
hedges of land, before the bill passed !;
the average price of vote was 200 900
acres of land 1t came into Congress
and an investigation was had. About
twenty witnesses testified, most of
whom were members, and they bore wit
ness to the confession of one or more
members. Some of the witnesses owned
that they went in for some of the spoil
Some distinguished men were in it.
James Gum who before, and afterward,
was elected to Congress, was almost the
recognized head of the business. He
was a briber. Philip Clayton was in it,

ernor must have been party to the
fraud, as he could not be ignorant of the
nature of the transaction. / have failed
to get his name.
The fraudulent act was presented by
the grand juries of every county in the
State but two. The solitary member who
voted for the bill without bride, was
Robt. Watkins. His name deserves to be
remembered.
John Randolph of Roanoke visited
Georgia about the time and made him
self familiar with these transactions
which he denounced in round terms
When the bill before Congress was
pending to indemnity the rogues for the
trouble, he offered the following resolu-
ton which did not pass:
THAT when the governors of any peo-
pie shall have betrayed the confidence
reposed in them, and shall have exer-
cised that authority with which they
have been clothed for the general well
fare to promote their own private ends
under the basest motives and to the
public detriment, it is the inalienabk
right of the people to revoke the au-
thority thus abused, to resume the
rights thus attempted to be bartered
and to abrogate the act thus endeavoring
to betray them
But the fraudulent claims had gone in
to new hands. A northern company had
taken hold of them, and Congress voted
them eight millions, of dollars, on the
ground that they bought the claims
without notice of their fraudulent char
acter. And the Supreme court of the
United States gave Judgment in their ia.
vor on this ground. This was in 1910.

THE YAzoO FRAUD.
One Of the Most Gigantic Schemes Ever Pro
iected in This Country.

Perhaps the YaZoo Fraud was the
most gigantic in design of any expert
ment of the kind that has ever been pro-
jected in this country, and it was not
without degree of success. The Geor-
gia legislature of 1895 was at the bottom
of 1t, and the Supreme court of United
States and Congress contaminated it, af-
ter long years.
The legislature of Georgia on the 7th
day of January, 1895, passed an act au-
thorizing the sale of four immense tracts
of land, not in the State nor belonging
to it. (These tracts comprehend the
greater part of the country west of 1T
and esat of the Mississippi river) to four
companies. They were called the Geor-
gia, the Georgia-Mississipp the Missis-
sippi, and the Tennessee companies. They
embraced about thirty-fve millions OF
acres. They, the four companies, were
to pay half million of dollars for this
immense body of land. This was at the
rate of per cent. and 4-tcnths of cent
managed to make the retail price about
the people in every pare of the Union
2 1-3 cents per acre.
When it was announced that the bill
in this form had passed the legislature
it created such a storm as the Georgians
had never heard before; and the next
legislature denounced it as fraud, and
the result of wholesale bribery 1t was
ascertained that every man who voted
for It. but one, was bribed and the act
was repealed by unanimous VOTE

The Strawberry Crop.
Wilmington Starl

Mr.. T. B. Pierce, of Warsaw, the big
crate manufacturer and man of much
experience and observation in the truck
ing interest, says that the month of
August, on account of the prolonged
drought, has not been favorable to grow
ers of strawberries, who invariable want
to set out plants during this period. A
good many sections have been favored
with rain, however, and a great number
of plants have been set out, but taken
altogether the weather has not been ia
vorable Many growers also put out
plants in September but Mr. Pierce
doesn't think they do so well when
started so late.
AS to the outlook for the strawberry
CROP Mr.. Pierce said it was little early
for one to approach any accuracy in
forecast but he was of the opinion that
the crop would be large. The outlook
for prices, he thinks, depends altogether
upon the weather during the shipping
season.

A New Coon Song.

waning in popularity or number. The
demand continuing unappeased, the sup
ply of coon dittieS, cakewalks, serenades
and descriptive songs has continued in
inexhaustless supply, and with the open
ing of the theatrical season we may ex-
pect to be fairly deluged with them.
The "coon song" made it's first appear
ance on the stage in 1898 and since that
time these frothy but alluring melodies
have shown little change, the subject be-
ing invariably the same-confidence or
misplaced affection between colored men
and women with usually the man unhap-
py and vindictive and the woman tickle
and content
Recently, however, the New York Sun
thinks it has discovered a new coon song.
Zone that is a novelty" 1t is a plain
if trite story of admirable conjugal de-
votion on the part of colored husband
requited by the fidelity but not the at
lection of his sable spouse The title is:
"You Used to Love Yer Baby Beter'n
You Do Now" This is the first verse:
I'm havin huff trouble with ma family
fairs,
For to drive most any man insane.
For | can't find out what is causing such
q coldness from ma baby, ma Mandy
Jane,
She used to love me truly, leastwise she
done tole me so,
And when all dis yere trouble comes a
sneakin' in my do
l feel I'm titled to an explanation
Why I'm caused so much vexation,
So it's no mo- den right for me to say"
:;
These remarks, given in a deprecating
way, lead to the chorus, which is as fol-
lows
''You used to love yer baby bettern you
do now,
Say, what's de use of all dis yere contin-
ual row?
I've tried ma best for to treat you right,
But you done got acting like you war
white,
You used to love yer baby better'n you
do now"
This diminution of regard, subsistence
cure apparently no satisfactory eXplana-
ton and lead the colored husband to
give in the second verse, a more minute
acts of consideration:
Don't l tote you round to all the col
ored affairs?
Don't | do all any man can do?
Don't l come home early! Amt l reg Ter
in ma habits? Didn't l quit all ma
crap games, too?
Just because you said you loved me
like you always used to do?
But dars happ'nin's been of late dat
hakes me 'spicion you amt true,
An I'm askin' you for an explanation
Why m caused so much vexation,
An / demand an answer when / say
1t has frequently been a subject Of
comment that, entirely apart from their
melody, which is usually of a stirring
and sometimes of a captivating kind
coon songs owe much of their popularity
to what may properly be called their
yelled suggestions, which, accepted good
naturally by the most refined audiences
when sung or spoken of by colored per-
sons or in imitation of them, would be
instantly rejected under other circum-
stances. The theme offers so many
chances of variation without giving of
fence that it is not hard to understand
the enduring popularity of many of the
coon songs which are not only sung as
frequently as when they first came into
vogue, but are published extensively and
are in constant demand in all parts of the
country.
