BIG FIRE IN
Meyers Department Store Destroyed With
It's Contents.

-
RICHMOND, April 1O.-The depart
ment store of Julius Meyers Sons,
the largest enterprise of the kind in
the South, was burned here this
morning. The loss is between $780,
600 and $500, 900 and is covered by
insurance amounting to $2O8, 600.
Four hundred girls were employed
in the various branches of the estab-
lishment, and many of them barely
escaped with their lives. The firm,
which is one of the oldest IN Rich
mond, will rebuild and resume bust
$ as 0 as the insurance IS al.
justed.
The Messrs. Meyer claim that the
loss of practically all of their spring
trade is an immense blow to them,
as they had laid IN an en- 1rmous
stock, which the Easter shopping
had only slightly decreased.

ITALIAN VS.. NEGRO LABOR.

The experiment of substituting
Italian for negro labor in the cotton
and cane fields of Louisiana is meet
ing with considerable success. Up
to a few years ago negroes did most
of the work in Louisiana. Italians
were first used in the cane fields,
and there found to be more satisfac-
tory than the unreliable negro +;
later they were put into the cotton

fall, at the time that the negro
roustabOuts at New Orleans struck
for a rise from SIS to $12O per month,
with board and lodging on boat, the
steamboat agents secured several
hundred newly imported Italians and
put them to work. Now there is
scarcely a steamboat plying at New
Orleans that does not carry an Ital-
ian crew, at least in part. Though
the negroes protested vigorously,
they finally accepted the inevitable

morning, Chief Justice Furches said /:
''The cause of my absence from the
court for so long a time will form a
page in the history of North Caro-

say. But I deem it proper that 1
should say that those who have been
my friends in the matters which
have transpired during my absence
are too generous to expect anything
of me that they do not think is right
and just. AS to those who were not
my friends, I wish to say that so far
as any business transactions they
may have with this court, they have
nothing to fear from me but that in
all such matters, they and the inter
cts they..represent shall receive the
same attention and consideration
from me as if they had been my
4 friends. This is due from me as a

REDUCTION OF ACREAGE.
Gen Cox skeptical of the Farmers COnven-
tions.

Gen Cox skeptical of the Farmers Conven-
tons.
Regarding all the farmers cOnven
tiOns and meetings that are being
held TO discuss the reduction of the
cotton acreage, General w. R. Cox,
who is at the Var borough, is very
skeptical. He says he thinks it
would be best for the farmers of
EdgecOmbe when they meet in con
ventiOn at TarborO to adopt a resO-
luton setting forth that, "Whereas,
every other section of the South is
going to reduce it's cotton acreage,
and therefore the price will be high,
Resolved, that we plant all the cot
ton we can cultivate" He thinks
this would have the element of
novelty and honesty, to say the
least of it.
He thinks the wide discussion of
the reduction of the acreage will re
suit in an increased acreage rather
than d reduction. If the report were
circulated all through the South that
the would be largely in
creased and everybody would plant
all the cotton they could, some peo-
pie would conclude that cotton was
u good thing to avoid, and they would
raise less of it Raleigh Times.

The April number of Success
contains Governor Benjamin B.
Odell's first magazine article. That
rising statesman, who delivered ice
from his fathers wagons for a num-
Der of years in Newburg, New York,
and who has now attained a rather
formidable position in American
politics, chooses for his debut in lit
erature, the subject, "Politics and
the Demands of Good Citizenship"
This is a well-sustained argument in
favor of active participation in cur
rent political movements by all
young men, without regard to social
status or business are The Gov,

duty of a young man to enter poll
tics, in the of participating, as
to go into business; but that he
should not seek political office until
after he has won success in his bust
ness.

was found dead in his bed at his
home here to-day. 1t is thought the
cause of death was heart trouble.
He attended a funeral yesterday ana
caught cold.
He leaves wife, three, sons and one
daughter. One son, Edward, is a
Methodist minister at Ann Arbor.
His daughter Mary was formerly a
missionary worker in India. She is
now in the south with her brother
Fred, who is ILL., The other son,
George, is also ill at his home here.
The presiding elders of Michigan
held conference yesterday and de-
cided to sell the Episcopal residence
here, now occupied by Bishop Ninde's
family, because the churches of
Michigan, outside of Detroit and
other large cities, failed to contrib
ute sufficient funds to maintain it.
