ostriches arrived last night to stock the

Supreme Court today ordered the papers
in the ease of Commissioners of Wilkes

from the files of the courts. The case

tion for three negroes in Salisbury.

Prosperity and the South.

The phenomenal activity in bust
ness, which some anticipated would
be checked last year by the greatest
shortage ever known in the corn
crop, seems this year destined to be
still further augmented by the lsrg-
est corn crop ever produced, and to
this great corn yield will be added a
large wheat crop, even if the final
outturn be little less than last year.
The average production of corn from
1895 to 1900 was a little over 2,O00,-
100000 bushels a year, but in 1901
the crop was cut short by the hot
winds and the drouth to 100000
900 bushels. The indications for
present crop as reported by the De-
partment of Agriculture point to a
yield of nearly 2,6O0,000,00O bushels,
or over 1,OOO,oOO,OOo bushels in e1.
cess of last years production, and
3oO,OOO,OOO bushels more than the
largest crop ever before produced,

Up Against Family Trusts.


Owing to Nebraska smash up
got left in little Nebraska town one
night about a year ago, said the drum
mer, according to the Detroit Free
Press, and the way I came in con
sact with trust made my hair stand
up. It was q wretched town and 8
still worse hotel. lily room was small
and my bed was as hard as a board
I got up feeling mad, and after a mis-.
ersble breakfast I was ready to boil
over. The boiling came when the
landlord presented me with bill for
81.
"Is this correct?" I asked as I look
ed at the figures.
s.Entirely so," he replied.
s'Then you are blamed old highway
robber."
The lord had three sons, and when
they began to mix in I turned on
'em and gave 'em some red hot talk.
When I stopped for breath the old
msn, who turned ont to be justice
of the peace, sat down in his chair
and calmly announced:
"Hear ye! Hear ye! now declare
this court duly opened. James have
you any businesss"
81 have" replied the eldest son,
who announced to me that he was a
constable and that I was under
arrest. he then madea charge against
me, one of the other brothers testify
ing as to my language, and hia honor
fined me SO. As the third brother
hand't taken any part, I turned to
him and sarcastically asked:
"Where do you come IN!
..Mes" he replied. "Oh, I'm the
town marshal, and as your are evi-
IDENTIFY a desperate character, / shall
have to lock you up for 9 couple of
days and then run you out of town.
ssIt was nice little family trust,
you see," smiled the drummer, ''and
I couldn't beat it. I was locked up
for forty-eight hours, but I had to
pay the hotel bill and the fine, and
when I was set at liberty and got my
mouth open to say something else
the jailor laid q hand on my arm
and whispered;
"sDon't do it. ! am the old mans
son-in-law and if you kick against my
Jail he'll make your next stop twenty
days."

jerusalem--Past and Present.

Jerusalem is literally ''builded upon
it's own heap" Below the houses,
courts and paved streets of the pres
ent unkempt city are the distinguish
able remains of eight older citizens
those of solomon, Nehemiah, Herod,
Hadrian, Constantine, Omar, GODFREY.
Saladin, Suleman-writes Waite,
Williams from the Holy City to his
paper in Columbia. Nc.
|. Jerusalem has been beseieged
twenty-seven times, record of vicis-
situdes unparalleled in the history OF
the worlds cities. It has been burned,
sacked, razed to the ground, its in
habitants of every faith put to the
sword, sll the woes uttered by it's
own prophets against it have come to
pass, yet Jerusalem still resembles
great fortress of the middle ages.
Seen from the mount of Olives, it's
massive gray walle, it's fiat rooted
houses, it's mosques and churches
with their conspicuous towers and
minarets, present marvellous picture,
beautiful, sublime, unfadipg, from
the picture gallery of the mind.
The city itself has larrow, dirty
streets. The water supply for its
10000 people comes in four-inch
pipe. The open courts are few and
small, and the houses are punched
together with no regard for room or
cleanliness. Some houses are under
ground and others on top of the high
inclosing walls. The people are
fanatical, ignorant, selfish. There is
much to detract from the ideal city,
but despite all this and more, Jeru-
salem, from the Mount of Olives, is
the same in it's essential details, the
same in the framework of it's setting,
the same in fascinating suggestion,
as the Jerusalem of which David
sang and over which Jesus wept.

| and though this is less than the crop
of last year, which was the largest
| ever produced, it is the largest crop
ever grown, with the exception OF
that of 1891 and of 1898, exceeding
the average yield of recent years by
approximately 1Oo,Ooo,ooo bushels.
Some experts, however, estimate this
years yield at over 7O0,OOO,oOO
bushels.
In the aggregate the grain crop
of the country will probably be much
the largest ever produced, and the
abundant rains throughout the
greater part of the country assure
large production of other crops. In
the South the corn crop will probably
be cut short to some extent, but the
cotton crop will probably more than
make up for this, and added to the
promise of a fine cotton crop will be
an abundant yield of fruits and 7ege-
tables.
From all parts of the country there
come reports Of greater prosperity
among the agricultural interests than
has been known for many years.
The high price of foodstuffs, against
which consumers have protested,
have yielded to the farmers and cat
tie raisers profits to which they had
been strangers for many years.
The railroads of the whole country
are burdened with traffic beyond
their ability to handle. Locomotive
and car works are rushed with orders
for rolling stock which will tax them
for the next year or more. Rail mills
already have the assurance of a de-
msnd wich will equal, if not exceed,
their greatest possible output in
1908. Manufacturers of all lines of
iron and steel goods, makers of ma
chinery and kindred interests, the
pig-iron producer and the coal
operator are rejoicing in a period OF
unprecedented activity and pros
perity. So marvelously great has been
the sweep of this industrial and rail
road activity, so great the expansion
Of our trade interests, that We are
constantly forced to wonder how
long such period of activity can
continue, and yet the tremendous
increase in business, in wealth and
in consuming power of our country
has carried this prosperity far beyond
what anyone would have dared few
years ago to predict.
Storms may come and disasters
may temporarily overtake u.s. but at
present there seems to be no sign OF
cloud upon the business horizon.
It is matter of congratulation that
the South is moving forward in this
period of prosperity as never before.
The world now recognizes as Eever
in the past that this section is to be
the scene of the greatest business
and industrial activity, and that what
we have done is only faint indics-
ton of what is ahead of u.s.
