The Important Parts Of Long Dispatches Told

The Important Parts Of Long Dispatches Told
in Brief Paragraphs.
The officials of the Columbian
Government here declare that the
rebellion there has been entirely
crushed. They say the insurgents
do not hold a single village in the
country and are confined only to a
few marauding bands, whom the
people have refused to aid. The re-
ports are generally believed, though,
as a matter of course, Columbia has
an able CENSOR at work and 1T may
be some time before the exact truth
~transpires.
President Roosevelt will attend
the German Reformed church here,
a very shall edifce in this city. Per-
sonally he belongs to the Dutch Re-
formed Church, having inherited
his religion from his Dutch ances-
tors, but as that denomination has
no congregation in this city he will
attend it's German prototype, whose
faith and form of worship is exactly
the same. He is the first President
to belong to that denomination.
Additional interest-if that be
necessary-has been given to the
proceeding in the Schley court by
the declaration by the Admiral's
counsel that they should seek to
prove that he was not only actually
but legally and technically in COM
mand at the battle of Santiago, and
as such was entitled to the credit for
that victory. AS is we'll known
Schley's attitude has steadily been
that there was glory enough for all,
but now, when driven to fight, he
purposes to fight to some effect.
General Corbin will probably suf-
fer as severely from President Mo
Kinley's death as any one in the
country, it having been an accepted
fact that the latter intended to pro-
mote him to the command of the
army when General Miles retired
two years hence. Mr.. Roosevelt, on
the other hand, is not on particularly
good terms with General Corbin, who
snubbed him on several occasions
during his army experience-as, in
deed, he did all volunteers. General
Wood is far more likely to be pro,
NOTED to Miles place.

THE PLOw TRUST FORMED.

CHICAGO, Oct 1.-The Plow Trust
was born to-day, not an infant, but
with the stature of a giant.
The event was celebrated tonight
with a banquet at the Auditorium
annex. About the board were the
men who compose the plow industry
of most Of the world. AS they ate
and smoked and touched glasses
they figured how they might COM
plete the conquest in Europe, Asia,
Africa and South America. BEHIND
Thorn is the prinoely sum of $780,
900, 900 capital.
The new corporation was chris
tened "The American PIow Com
pany." It's headquarters are to DO
in Chicago. It is organized under
the laws of New Jersey, and COM
bines the % great plow manufactures
of the continent. It lie limited, but
not confirmed, that it is to be auxiH.
airy to the United States Steel Cor
poration. Charles Ell. Deere, of Mo-
line, the foremost pillow man of the
nation, is to be the President. VIM.
A. Vincent, the promoter, will b.
counsel for the trust. Three DAYS
now have the plow magnates been
gathered at the annex. negotiations
proceeded in secret, but with speed,
considering the magnitude of the
undertaking.
At last the promoters, the Chicago
law firm of Goodrich, Vincent q
Bradley, succeeded in bringing har-
mony out of chaos, in gathering int
Chicago the representatives. of the
% factories concerned and finally
forming the great trust. The manu-
facturers will meet again in the
morning in secret conference at the
annex to map out plans Of operation
and discuss probably the location OF
new plants.

JUDGE WILSON'S SUDDEN DEATH.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Jeremiah
Morrow Wilson, principal counsel for
Rear Admiral Schley and n of the
leading lawyers of Washington, died
suddenly in his apartments in the
s!horeham hotel shortly after II
o'clk to day. Heart failure, super
induced by an attack of acute indi-
gestion, coupled with Bright's dis,
ease, caused his death. He leaves a
son, Charles S. Wilson, who has been
associated with him in the law, and
a daughter, Mrs. William Haywood,
of this city.
Judge Wilson was a native of Ohio
and was 70 years old. He served on
the bench and in Congress.

WORMS IN cotton.

Mr.. J. F. Dedmon, who lives about
five miles above Shelby, brought Us
in a lot of cotton bolls this week,
which he gathered along the road to
town. They were all worm eaten
That is worms had gotten in the boil
and completely destroyed the cotton.
Some of the bolls were just hulled
out, others were SO exposed to the
weather that the cotton had COM
pletely rotted and there was abso
lutely no good cotton in them.
This is the first time we have ever
heard of the cotton worm making his
appearance in this State. The crop
has been almost entirely destroyed
at times in some sections of Texas,
Arkansas and Mississippi, but North
Carolina has been free from this
plague hitherto. The worm enters
the boil near the stem usually and
makes a round hole and some times
goes all the way through and comes
out on the opposite side. A certain
kind of butterfly lays the eggs at
night from which the worms are
Matched. These worms, it is esti
mated, will destroy nearly one-fourth
of the crop in some sections -Cleve-

oUR NEGRO POPULATION.

Not Increasing as Fast as the White-whae
the Complete Count Of the Census Office
shows-Diminishing Ratio Almost COntir-
uous Since the Census of 179O.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The count
of the population of the United
States by race, sex and nativity has
been completed, at the Census Office
and thus the most important socio-
logical data will be soon forthcom-
ing. The greatest question has been
the relative growth of the colored
population. The alarm which the
figures of 1880 gave the country lest
the negro population should exceed
the white will be recalled. Final
figures show that the negro popula-
ton will this time constitute about
11.58 of Jul total population. Ten
years ago the figures on a similar
basis were II. 90.
Some new elements of population
have been counted this time, but az
a whole it is fair to conclude that
the negro is slightly less shan hold
ing his own. The earlier bulletins
by Stetes indicated, as shown in these
dispatches, that the negro was doing
better than this, but the Virginia re-
turns, which came in the last alpha
betioal group, have greatly modified
the final results. In that State the
negro growth has been surprisingly
small. In fact, in only four South
ern States is the proportion Of
negroes greater today than in 1890.
These r Arkansas, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi and Florida. In many North
States the negro population has rela-
lively increased, but as it is SO small
a part of the total, does not greatly
affect general results. The completed
figures thus show that the negro is
losing his hold in the border State
region, and is moving either to the
cotton fields of the Gulf or to the
great cities of the North.

The State forester, William s.
Ashe, has returned from a tour in
the western part of the State, where
at the request of the United States
Secretary of Agriculture, he investi-
gated damage to farm lands, and
particularly to river bottoms, by the
great food of May and that of Au-
gust 9Th. He says the damage in
that section is from So, 900, 900 to
"a, 600, 900, and on the Catawba river
alone 90, 600, 900; that vast areas of
land gone forever, cut down to hard
pan, while other great areas are
covered with sand from a foot to
four feet, and of course absolutely
ruined. He does not believe de-
forestation caused the greater dam
age, but that the May food came
when the land was soft from recent
cultivation and hence easily carried
away. He finds there have been
other freshets as great. Old marks
show this. He also finds that the
water did spout out of the mountain
sides, but that it burst out of the
overcharged channels which feed
springs. He saw plenty of signs that
this too had occurred previously
