PUT THOUSANDS IN THEIR
POCKETS"

This paper will on Sunday print its
third great crop edition of the Fall-a
| Tobacco Edition. Its first crop edition
was Cotton Edition that contained the
| opinion of the best cotton farmers, cot
ton dealers, cotton manufacturers as to
the crop of this year. Up to the time
| of the publication of that paper. the
| lowest estimate of the cotton crop of
North Carolina was 800, 900 bales. The
| letters printed in these columns showed
the crop to be in the neighborhood of
32S0O0 bales. That publication was the
| first real blow the bears received before
the Government crop report was pub
lished. "The News and Observer has
set the pace for Northern newspapers, ;"
declared> great New York financial
journal.
Two weeks ago, the News and OBJ
server printed letters on the peanut
crop from growers of Spanish peanuts in
every section where they are profitably
grown in this State, together with the
estimates of dealers in Norfolk and
other cities AS to the value of the
information then published we quote
the following extract from a private let
ter written by one of the best informed
and most successful farmers in Halifax
county:
The farmers certainly ought to take
your paper. You have PUT THOUS-
ANDS INTO THEIR POCKETS by pub
fishing that peanut account. Before its
publication, they brought from So to J6
cents; in few days after the publica-
ton they advanced to 60 and then TO
70 cents.
The cry is still short crop of nuts"

be just as accurate and just as reliable.

LIEUTENANT'S REMAINS.
Found Thirty-Two Years After His Death
 in Battle With Indiana.


 Denver Cor. New York Sun: For thirty-two years the bones of Lieuten- ant Fred H. Beecher of Forsyth's Scouts, were buried in the sands of the Arickare. All that time has left has now been recovered and will be sent to Brooklyn relatives. for whom the search was made. Previous ef- forts to locate the last resting place of the officers who fell in that desper- ate encounter with the Cheyenne h. dians under Roman Nose were fruit less. A few years after the Lieuten- ants death an unsuccessful search was made under the direction of his uncle, Henry Ward Beecher. The story of the bravery of General Forsyths little band of scouts has been told many times and the naming of the sandy isle at the mouth of the Arickare after Lieutenant Beecher will always recall this fight, famous in Colorado history, and almost parallel to that of the Lit tie Big Horn General Forsyth, Lieu tenant Beecher and forty-seven men were s.y, ounded in 1867 by nearly 1000 Inl- ns They defended them selves as best they COZ at a place that has since been named Beecher island Two men, Charles Christy and Fletcher Vilotte, got through the h. dian lines and finally brought relief. Lieutenant Beecher was fatally wounded and died half an hour after being shot. Christy and Nilotte form ed part of the burying squad. They were present at the dedication of a monument on Beecher island recently and found the grave in which Beecher was buried.
 Lieut.. Frederick Henry Beecher was a son of Rev. Charles Beecher and nephew of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. Lieut.. Beecher was born at New Or leans, June p, 1S41 He was gradu ated at BoWdoin in 1862 and immedi ately enlisted as a private in the vol unteer army He was in all the bat ties of the Army of the Potomac from Fredericksburg to Gettysburg, was twice severely wounded and was pro- noted to the rank of first lieutenant. In 1864 he received commission in the regular army and in July, 1866, be- came first lieutenant in the Third United States infantry. General Ho- ratio .. King of Brooklyn, said that he thought that Lieutenant Beecher's body was removed by the soldiers at the time of his death.

EADETH NOT AWAY,
Touching Description of Last Sleep of
 Aged Professor.


 The old professor sat listening with a half smile while his class explained certain facts in metaphysics. The brain. they said, retained longest the first impressions made upon it. Mem orleS of middle life faded out. while those of childhood remained vivid and clear. Dying persons had been known to speak in a language which they had learned in childhood and forgotten during a long life time When the class was dismissed, one of the young men, hs usual, fingered to walk across the campus with the professor. The class had noticed that the old man was a lit tle more deaf this winter a little duller Of sight, little more gentle They contrived that he should not cross the Icy spaces without some one to assist nm. All that is true Bob he said, thinking of the recitation and talking half to himself. Quite true, and very strange. You learn in childhood Ian guage, simple enough, having to do with the foundation of things, God and heaven and you, yourself Then you 5cC OiI lllO lHo NOfld and forget II. You learn difficult languages -philos. ophy or trade or politics; loud ,strident kinds of talk that move the world, and gou do your share of talking as loudly as you can. But presently these things begin to fade out of your mind. They seem less weighty; they count for lit tie. The old language that you learn- ed on your mothers knee comes back, and you find yourself speaking 1t again. These later languages arc alien; that is your own tongue ; It is strange, sir, said Bob, With d bewil- dered face. He brought the professor to his own door, and bade him good night. The old man fingered, looking With wistful smile at the great quad rangie that the shadow buildings in which languages and philosophy and sciences were taught.

RUSSIAN SPIES HERE.
They Are Keeping Watch of Nihilists
 Who Seeks Refuge in America.

lhey Are Keeping Watch of Nihilists
 Who Seeks Refuge in America
 The Russian secret police are prob ably the most skillful in the world
 they need to be. In the days of Ma poleon III. the police of France had that reputation. They haven't it now for the best of reasons. An emperor needs skillful spies in all the world republic doesn't. Russia nas had it's lessons in the death of the late czar and in many attempts made upon the present ruler. So the chief of political police keeps agents in every great city in the world. New York, where so many Russian nihilists have found refuge; San Francisco and Chicago are especially favored in this way. Es- capped convicts from Siberia sometimes drift to the Pacific coast city. while Chicago is watched on general prin- ciples New York, however, is getting to be more and more the chief object of the solicitous attentions of the czar's people. The spies who keep tai on nihiliStS in America always claim to be nihilists themselves. exiled for their political views. or escaped sus- poets. 1t is their plan to secure admit t2nce to some of the many nihilist cir cles here and keep the police informed of what goes on. Sc long as the nihi- lists confine themselves 10 speech-mak- ing nothing it done about it. But, if one of them should start for St. Peters burg with such a mission as that which took Bresci from Paterson the home authorities would be warned and stand ready to receive him after certain we'll known recedents. As for the spy his is a dangerous lift. If suspected he may become at almost any time the hero of a mysterious murder case.
