THE PEARL LUND's IN TROUBLE.
theatrical Baggage is Hidden in the City Lot
Where it is Found and Attached.

There has been trouble brewing among
the members of the Pearl Lund Roper
toire" Company, which has been playing
here this week. and the storm broke out
in all of it's fury yesterday. The facts
Of the case appear to be as follows:
Mrs. Lund, mother Of Miss Pearl Lund,
organized a stranded repertoire company
of about fifteen members to support her
daughter as star in the various plays,
which were in their repertoire. 1t is
said that she began by spending about
$3.50 on the company, but there has been
trouble for some time, from the fact
that several members Of the company
did not get along we'll together, at least
the company became divided into two fac
tons, Mrs. Lund, her daughter, Miss
Pearl Lund, the advance agent, the must
cal director and the property man, COM
posing one faction. and the remaining
members Of the company the other.
On last Wednesday the storm broke
and the Lund faction withdrew from the
company, while the other members car
ried on the show. Yesterday Mrs. Lund
heard that the other faction was en-
deavoring to attach her baggage for
salary due them. AS she did rot feel like
paying people who had withdrawn from
the company, her baggage was removed
to the city lot in order that the other
faction might not find il. By bribing the
negro draymen they were able to dis
cover its whereabouts, however. and
later had papers of attachment served.
Ihe baggage is now in the hands of a
constable.
What the next step will be is not known
but 1t is rumored that both sides NAV
contest tho case in court.
Mrs. Lund. it is said, is a lady of con-
sioeraole means, and is fully able to
meet all her financial OBLIGATIONS. AS
10 the financial standing of those who
have pulled out from the connanv Moth
ing is known, but if thew carry the mat
ter into court it is thought that Mrs
Lund will stay here and fight the case
to & finish.

TRIED HIGHWAY Robbery.
An Attempt Made to hold up a Negro Near
Neuse.

Green Lassiter, a negro who lives near
Neuse, had an experience Friday after
noon.
He left town, after selling some cotton
with about $50, and when near Neuse
was held up by another negro, who, with
pointed pistol, demanded money or life.
Green felt for a rock With his foot, but
the highWayman told him if he stopped
a pistol shot was coming.
Green was in a hole, but he saw a
form approaching. He had pulled out his
knife, and while he eyed the pistol the
black Claude Duval eyed the knife. Green
raised a terrific yell and the foiled robber
fled as Mr.. Charles Hinton came up. He
had seen another negro as he passed
and this was evidently a pal.
Tho highWaymen made off into the
woods and Green went on his way re-
joicing, his life and money being still
to the good.

SIMMER SCHOOL AT THE
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
It Will Teach Scientific Agriculture and IS Destined
to Work a Revolution in the Old
North State.

They should come into every system OF
rotation.
2 The roots of plants vary in length:
some long. some short. Thus by rota-
ton we may grow successive crops 10 a
great extent in two different soils; sur
face soil for one, and subsoil for the
other.
4. By rotating crops we change the
treatment OF the soil and thus cultivate
it more thoroughly in the long run. In
this way also we can better kill oil weeds
which infest one particular crop.
5. In the same way we more easily and
effectually kill off and keep down IN
furious insects.
6. Some crops mature IN the summer,
others late in the fall. Some stay IN
the ground a short time, others longer.
1t helps to nave a short feeding crop fol-
low a long feeding crop and vice versa.
Anybody of ordinary mind can under
stand these reasons. He does not need
a vast knowledge of chemistry, or botany,
or zoology, or geology. The whole
science of agriculture is made equally
simple By Prof. James.
At the A. & NJ. College Summer School
next June rural teachers, whether men
or women, will have an opportunity to
learn scientific agriculture. They will
