MR.. WATsON's sPEKCH.

Cyrus B. Watson has been regarded
for twenty years as one of the greatest
men in North Carolina.
Today he stands. not among but at
the head OF the great Democratic leaders
of Western North Carolina, and among
the first half dozen men the State has
known since the da~s of Graham and
Bragg and Vance.
His speech closing for the prosecution
was magnificent. 1t was trenchant and
powerful and unanswerable. Made in
any impartial forum in the United States,
it would have secured conviction. With
eleven jurors deaf to reason and to argu-
ment, twenty-seven of the thirty-nine
men who went into the trial unbiased
voted for conviction. Of the twenty-seven
thirteen were lawyers, including the
chairman of the judiciary Committee.
There is one thing about Mr.. watson
that endears him to the people Of North
Carolina, aside from his ability and elo-
quence. His leading position as great
lawyer in the State has not caused him to
forget the interests of what Mr.. Lincoln
called 1.-The plain people" He has not
sold his great ability ana 'hisFmatchless
powers to enslave the masses, nor has
he permitted political corporations and
trusts to silence him to the robbery which
they practice under the forms of law.
"God bless Cy. Watson is the senti-
ment of all North Carolina. He is the
type of man needed in it's highest sta
tions of trust and honor. He has never
failed to stand true to right, and has
never bent 1.-THE pregnant hinges of the
knee that thrift may follow fawning."

The third article charges a violation

ton, which says that no money shall
be paid out of the treasury except in
consequence of an appropriation made
by the Legislature.
The vote on this charge was the same

Senator Arlington moved that a yer-

To this Senators Justice, Woodland and
others objected on the ground that if they
were going on record they wanted to vote
on the articles separately.
The motion was therefore withdrawn
and the roll call on the other four articles

FIRE IN GRIER's RACKET STORE.
Serious Fire Prevented by Good
Work of Fire Department.

At 1915 O'Clock last Wednesday
night Policeman McKagen notlced
smoke issuing from Frank B. Grler 5
Racket Store on the corner OF Nam
and Republican Streets. Making a
hurried investigation, be ascertalneo
that the store was burning on the
inside and he then gave the alarm.
The fire department was on the
ground within a few minutes, and by
Quick. systematic and intelligent work
the fire was soon gotten under control
and what threatened to be a serious
and costly fire in the heart of the busl-
ness part of the city was nlpped IN
the bud. The fire was fought from all
sides and from the roof The fire start
ed near the floor on the side of the
store adjoining L. ": jenkins store;
When the fire was discovered IL hao
extended to the shelving, up TO the
ceiling and was burning IN the cell
inc under the roof. The fremen soon
located the fire under the roof and
cutting holes through the tin poured
a stream on the fire. The flames were
kept from spreading and were soon
extinguished. The fire within the
store was also quickly extinguiished.
The stock of goods was badly damag-
ed by smoke and water and a portion
of it was burned.
Mr.. L. ". jenkins, next door suf-
fered considerable loss from smoke
and water damage, the two stores being
under one roof.
Mr.. Grier values his stock at slO,-
600 and had it insured for s., 800. Mr.:
jenkins values his stock at $1,000 and
it was insured for s2, 900. The build
ing is the property of Capt. John Reid.
The damage to the building IS fully
covered bv insurance.

A freight train loaded with rock was
Mrecked near Eastover in the early
part of last night and blocked the
track. The passenger train passing
this city at 9.15 p. m. could not go
through to Columbia last night nor
could this mornings passenger due at

bia. The train last night was held
up at Eastover and the passengers and
mails were transferred. The passen-
gers and mail on the morning train
from Columbia were transferred and
the delayed last nights train backed
in to this city more than an hour later
than the regular morning schedule.
The Charleston-Columbia train No.

cR0ss-BRED FOWLS.

a correspondent makes inquiry as
to the advisability of crossing white
Leghorns and light Brahmas.
This is a cross that | have never
tried, but it ought to be a good one,
as the two breeds are alike in color OF
legs, skin, etc., both being Of the de-
sirable yellow tinge They also har-
monize to a good extent in color: but
not in the color of their eggs, as the
light Brahma lays a deep yellow color
ed egg, and the Leghorn white
shelled one. This is minor differ
ence, however, of no special conse-
quence.
The females of such a cross would
doubtless be nice, plump fowls, of the
Plymouth Rock type, and most excel
lent layers. Taken as a whole, the
cross bred fowl would be a better all
round chicken than the thoroughbred
of either variety from which it should
come. The Brahma is rather too tall
and sinewy, and the white leghorn too
small for the table, where weight is
desired, together with plenty of breast
meat. The chicken bred from the two
would doubtless be a good medium,
where the parent stock is radically
deficient.
l have tried the partridge Cochin
brown Leghorn cross with satisfactory
results. But the progeny, after all,
was just what the Brahma-Leghorn
cross would be-a mongrel outside the
pale of the standard OF perfection.
So, the question naturally arises, why
cross breed any thoroughbred varie-
ties? For we have them now bred down
to most any type desired. In the Ply
mouth Rock and the Wyandotte classes
we have in al advanced state of perfec-
tion varieties that breed true to color,
and possess at the same time the meaty
qualities that one might obtain from
the crosses mentioned in the forego-
ing; while the breeder would, in
breeding the standard breeds, be
within the scope of the standard and
so have the double advantage of good
table fowls that are at the same time
thoroughbred, and hence worth much
more than the cross breeds.
Crossing pure-b bred males on common
hsne is advisable, because the breeder
by so doing gains much and loses moth
ing. The common flock may be ad-
vanced both in table and laying quail
ties by so doing: The mere introduc-
ton of new blood is of itself advan-
tageous. While fixed type and SINH
lar characteristics may be attained by
the selection of rooster of the same
variety for two or three years in sue
cession. Thus. any common flock may
be bred up pretty close to the Leg
horn. or the Brahma. Plymouth Rock,
or any s.other standard variety by this
system.
But in cross-breeding thoroughbred
classes of distinct type there is moth
ing in it but projecting" so far as |

How British Soldiers Fight.

Washington, June 21.-Capt. S l..
H. Slocum, Eighth cavalry, who was
military attache with the British
army during the early part of the
Boer war, has made his report to the
war department.. At the time Of the
British defet at Colenso, December
25. 1899, Capt. Slocum said he con-
sidered the situation of the British
most critical. They had been defeat
ed all along the line, and had the
Beers assumed offensive operations
the English army with long and
thinly guarded line would have been
placed in great jeopardy.
Capt. Slocum also was with Lord
Roberts, and describes in detail the
movement toward Kimberley. He
says that Roberts was confronted with
crisis which would have staggered
and been the undoing of many COM
manders-in-chief. His advance to
Kimberley and beyond was successful
ly carried out and the surrender of
Gen. Cronje changed the situation and
relieved the critical position of the
British army.
Speaking OF the Beers, Capt: Slocum
saws they we're splendid on the defen-
sive but did not consider offensive
movements as part of their proper tao
tics. He speaks of the British people
as a nation exemplifying the phrase
"brave to fault and adds:
IF they were less brave, there
would have been many less faults and
more victories in this war. Caution
they have not, but just bunt ahead,
and take the consequences. Lord Rob
erts is shining and glaring excep-
ton to this rule, All in all, | con-
slider him to be remarkable man and
general.
He says the English artillery had
tremendous preponderance over that
of the Beers, who rarely ever used
their artillery. Capt. Slocum says
smokeless power enables an army to
conceal itself, although artillery may
be located by the flash. Balloons and
powerful telescopes must be used to
locate the enemy.
Speaking of the march of the Brit
ish army from Bloemfontein to Preto-
ria he dwells on the indifference of
the officers to enforce order for safety
and the reluctance of the soldiers to
entrench themselves. The infantry
never rush in their attacks, but
march calmly forward. Capt. Slocum
saw mounted men waiting for orders
to advance, sit erect, making perfect
targets for the rifles at short range.
He adds:
They have not the individuality
and resources of our men, but for IN
domitable courage, uncomplalnlng
fortitude and implicit obedience, they
are beyond criticism.
