NEWS AND OBSERVER. SATURDAY MORNING. 1902
JURY is STILL OUT.
No Verdict Yet in the King
VS.. Seaboard Air Line.
Have Been Out Since Thursday, Spending Two
Nights in the Court RooE,. Raleigh
Hosiery Co. Case.

The jury in the case of Robert O. King
damages for injuries received in the
| wreck at Cameron last September has
reached no verdict yet and has now been
out ever since Thursday at AS o'clock,
or something like forty hours. 1t is
thought that they cannot agree uron the
first issue, as to whether the plaintiffs
injuries were caused by the negligence of
the defendant A story was going the
rounds that the vote stood 10 to for
the plaintiff on this issue, and later it
was said that it was eleven to one, but
of course nothing could be known def
nitely on this point.
Late yesterday afternoon some of the
jurymen desired to hear again Engineer
E. X. Wright's evidence, so they went
into the court room, where it was read
to them. The substance of this testi
mony was that the locomotive ran off the
track some 125 or $50 feet before it got
to the trestle or culvert, where it struck
the guard rail and toppled over. Judge
Allen, after the reading of this evidence,
repeated portions of his charge bearing
he would hold the jury a reasonable
length of time, an the hope of getting
q verdict.
Yesterday evening the twelve men were
taken for q walk by the deputy sheriff,
and last night they slept for the second
time upon pallets in the court room. The
probability is that if no evidence is
reached by tonight they will be dis
charged.
Yesterday was taken up in court by the
examining of witnesses in the suit of
the Raleigh Hosiery Company for COM
pensation of loss sustained by fire, which
it is claimed was started by sparks from
the railway locomotive.
Mr.. S. a. Ashe, Jr., completed his tes-
timony begun on Thursday. Mr.. Geo, w.
LangstOn testified as a character witness.
Other witnesses for the plaintiff were A.
w. Matthews, an employe OF Jones &
Powell, Dave Kearney, a colored boy,
Capt. S. A. Ashe, John Roberts and j.
r. Harris. the two last being employees
OF the mill.

Hope of Settling the Dyers' Strike.
(By the Associated Press.)

Paterson, N. J., April 24.-The opinion
was expressed today that there would
be an early settlement OF the dyers
strike. The operators of the dyeing
PLANTS have refused to consider the de-
mands of the men for 20 cents an hour
for learners and a fve-year contract but
have shown disposition to make con-
cessions on the general wage scale. 1t
was thought that if the employers agreed
to advance wages that the strikers would
recede from their extreme position and
accept a compromise.

GAVE THEM SAGAMITTEE.
Indian Hospitality 10 First Whites
I'm Louisiana Purchase--Its
Great Corn Crop.

After De Soto and his followers, the
first corn eaten by white men upon the
soil Of the Louisiana purchase was that
which Louis Joliet and Pere Jacques
Marquette received from a hospitable
band OF Indians, whose village lay up
on the banks of ''small stream" sup
posed TO be the Des Moines. On June
25, 1873, as the explorer and his priestly
companion and historian were pad
ding down the Mississippi on their voy-
age Of discovery, they saw tracks Of
men on the bank somewhere near the
southern end of what IS now Iowa.
Leaving their canoe in charge Of the
five boatmen. they followed the tracks
TO the village, where they were well re-
ceived.
A feast was spread for them.of which
the "pieces De resistance" were saga
mittee.~ boiled dog. dried buffalo meat
and other delicacies relished by the
Indian palate. For the boiled dog the
guests could not conceal their disgust,
and Il was considerably removed from
the board. But they ate sufficiently Of
the buffalo meat. as well as of the
sagamittee, which was nothing more
nor less than cornmeal mush favored
with grease. The historian does not
nominate the kind Of grease that the
Indians put into their mush. Surely
the dish was not 50 appetizing as the
cracked corn hominy which, softened
with fresh Jersey rutter, IS such IA
rorite on many a dainty breakfast
table among The southerners and the
Jerseymen. but the explorers ate 1t
with good appetite.
When they got down into the Arkan-
sas country they had more sagamittee
from the Indians. and roasting ears
and watermelons a plenty. The wa
terurlon is native 10 Africa. but

| these Indians showed their apprecia-
tion of a good thing by getting the
seds from Spanish or English colonists
and planting them, says the st. Louis
Republic.
The corn crop of the Louisiana coun-
try is larger now than il was then, and
1t is put TO more diversified and vastly
more profitable uses. In the pioneer
DAYS il was the staff of life of the race
that has possessed the great valley. 1t
was the only breadstuff carried among
their supplies by Joliet and Marquette.
The French settlers at Old Kaskaskia
rejected ii as victuals fit only for cattle
and swine The men who crossed the
Alleghenies with Boone and Sewer, and
Robertson, and Shelby, as well as those
who came into Ohio and Kentucky
higher up, Travelled and fought Indians
often with no other supplies than a
sack of parched corn and little bag of
salt per man. Their powder horns, bull
let pouches, and straight-shooting
rifles provided all the turkey, bear, and
deer meat they needed.
In these days of commercial figures
and figuring it is of special interest to
learn from the statistician of the treas
ury at Washington that in good years
the states and territories of the Louisi-
ana purchase make 1.000,000 bushels Of
corn, which is just about half, or lit
tie more than half, of the American
crop. Happily this prodigious quanti-
ty Of grain is not now consumed in the
form of sagamittee and roasting ears.
Much Of it goes to feed the mules and
the men who make the great cotton
crops of the south. Vast quantities of
It 90 into the beef, pork and poultry
that feed the mouths of the dense man
ufacturing and commercial population
of the northeastern seaboard states.
BY means of corn America gives pow
erful aid and comfort to Europe, and
we are ourselves somewhat comforted
in return. OF corn and cornmeal we
sent abroad last year some 100000. 900
worth and got the money. Then there
are the more comforting and also
more profitable items of beef, hams,
bacon, lard, and its compounds, sau-
sage and sausage meats, butter, cheese,
and other animal products, the basis of
which is mainly corn. OF these we
blessed the outside world with an
abundance that brought nearly $780,
100000 into American pockets. Half
of It all comes out of the soil of the
Louisiana purchase.
Iowa. on whose soil Joliet and Mar
quette were fed sagamittee by the IL
lini Indians, is the greatest Of all corn
states Nine-tenths of all the corn
grown west of the Mississippi comes
out of the soil of Iowa. Kansas, Nebras-
lSa and Missouri. Illinois is the only
state east of the river that turns out
corn equaling or surprising that Of
any one of these states; it is close be-
tween her and Iowa.
Corn is the mightiest of all the dyna-
mic forces Of America. 1t makes us
happy and prosperous in peace, power
ful in war. Great is corn; great is the
Louisiana purchase country, the nat
ural home Of corn.
