INTERVIEW WITH Mr.. LATlMER.
What He Thinks and Says About the Alleged
Change OF Political Sentiment In tho South.

Washington, May 11.-Rcprescntativ
A. 9. Latimcr, who is again in Washing
ton on private business, was requested
to express his opinion Of the new feeling
on political questions which is said to
exist in somo parts of the South.
-! think that sentiment, if thcro is
really such q sentiment. is misundcr-
suppose that because certain of our com.
munitics have requested Mr.. McLaurin
to address them such invitations indicate
change of political sentiment or an
adoption or endorsement of tho views
which he now cnunciates, by the people
of those sections. Those requests are in
the nature of an inquiry and willing
ness on the part of some of our people
to listen to arguments and views, which,
it is said, will inure to their benefit. a
Willingness to hear them expressed and
their adoption are quite different propo
sitions. 1t may be that some of tho
mOncycd men-bankcrs, mill owners and
Notwithstanding, as is stated, toward

pies. Whatever may be the truth of
this statement, they are scattering and
III an inconsidcrable minority. The pco-
pie of the South are Democrats by tradi-
tion and inclination and it is Democratic
principles for which they stand"
do you think it possible that within
a reasonable time there will be break
in tho South in this respect to the extent
of carrying State ?''
"No, do not" replied Mr. Latimcr.
Il can see no reason why the South
should abandon the principles which
have held it together for SO long. |
think that day is remote, very remote
in fact, so remote that | would not at
this timc give it serious consideration.
Tho question of protection does not
figure as strongly with us as it would ap-
pear at first thought. OF tho 5000, 900
bales of cotton wo raise but 2,OOO, 600 are
consumed at home and the remainder
goes into the open markets abroad. The
question of our protection laws does not
figure at all in the sale Of this latter cot
ton, tho price of which, as we'll as our
home consumed product. is regulated
abroad. | believe our people have a
kindly feeling for President McKinley.
because they believe him to DC an honest
man, who has governed according to his
political principles, but they are not
Democratic principles, and it is Demo.
cratic principles for which we vote. We
would, therefore, give his views respect
ful consideration, as we gave him a cor
dial and hospitable welcome to the South.
but when it comes to saying that we
would adopt and vote for tho principles
for which he aud his party stand that is
statement which do not think is JUS
titled by any condition at present exist
ing in the South to which one may point.
The Presidents motives are, no doubt,
the best, but they arc from his stand
point and not from ours. We must, per
force, judge things from our own point
OF view and what we think will benefit
us most"

Father Executes a Negro Intruder.

Lynchburg, Va, May 16.-Col.
Risque Hutter, one of the leading
citizens of Campbell county, shot
and killed Jack Smith, negro EN-.
ployed on his farm, who stole into
his dwelling early Sunday morning
and attempted to assault Col. Hut
ter's daughter. After the inquest
Hutter was bailcd in the sum of
$3.50 for his appearance before a
magistrate. Late Saturday night
Miss Hutter was bathing in her room
when she realized that some one was
at window. She informed her
father, who searched the premises
without discovering any one. The
colonePs room is next to his dauuh
tcr's and he was so troubled by the
occurrence that he could not slccp.
About 1.3O o'clock Sunday morning
he heard some one in his daughters
room and went in just as the negro, f,
who had been recognized as Jack
Smith, one of the farm hands, by
Miss Hutter, escaped.
The colonel searched around The
house and found the ncgro's ha,
near the steps. An hour later h..
took his pistol and a lamp and wen,
to the room over an outhouse, where
Smith was quarlerrd He saw two
negro men in bed asleep, aud rs the
light was too dim for him to dis
tinguish them clearly he returned to
his house. When it was daylight he
again took his pistol and went to the
negro's room. He told one of the
negroes to go to n neighbours and
ask him to come over, as he was in
trouble. AS soon as the negro had
gone he turned to the other, Jack
Smith, who was covering with guilt,
and telling him that he was going to
kill him, fred into the ncgro's head
and killed the fellow with one shot.

Homo for Destitute and Helpless Confederate
Soldiers.

The question of building homo for
destitute and helpless Confederate sol.
dicrs is being agitatcd. We heartily
favor the idea. Although it is gratifying
to know that the vast majority of the
soldiers who fought in the civil war arc
still either able to take caro- of them
selves or arc so happily situated as to be
provided for by living children and kind
relatives, still thero are many who have
no means OF support. 1t is tho duty of
the State to support them. The idea of
Confederate Veteran as an inmate of a
poor house is repnsivo to all the instincts
of patriotism. Tho moro helpless of the

OF cultivating and manner Of utiliz-

where the COW pea will, and has
been tested from Maryland to Texas,
and as far North as Michigan, with
flattering success.
have grown the COW pea for years
and tested all the other varieties of
leguminous plants, and, everything
considered, | hold the velvet bean 80
per cent. more valuable, both as a
stock feed and soil rcstorcr. The
vines can be cut for hay or be allowed
to ripcn the beans. have known
them to yield nine tons of hay per
acre and sevcnty-tivc bushels of
beans on land that would not make
twenty bushels of corn to the acre.
The Louisiana station found that
on acre of the beans, vines and all,
contained 10l pounds OF nitrogen,
243 pounds Of potash, and III pounds
of phosphoric acid, which, turned
under, has a great fcrtilizing value.
Their effect on the soil is truly
remarkable, and seems almos, incrcdi
bic. Land that would not make ten
bushels OF corn on my farm, was fol
lowed after beans with corn las,

five bushels per acre, while it's
drouth resisting properties were
increased IS per cent. can max
crop of the beans and turn them
under for 81 per acre, and the,
improve the soil more than ton Of
the best commercial fertilizer. The
bean is very rich in protcin-cuual

Ihe vines are rich in carbohydrates,
and supply the roughagc, making a
complete feed that is the most eco.
