FARMERS INSTITUTES.
Prof W. F. Massey Man Whose Services
Should be Retained.

One of the most important matters
which was considered at the late meet
ing of the Board of Agriculture was the
subject of farmers institutes. Commits
sioner Patterson gave an account of the
recent meeting in Washington of the
American Association of Farmers Insti-
tute Workers and showed the great value
in other States of an efficient organiza-
ton.
1t was proposed to place the institute
organization in the hands of Prof. w.
f. Massey, whose long experience in this
work makes him peculiarly fitted for it,
and during the years he has resided in
North Carolina he has won the conf
dence of the farmers of the State by
constant readiness to help them on all
occasions where advice is needed.
Efforts are being made to get Prof.
Massey to leave the State, but it is
hoped that the institute matter, which
has been deferred till the December
meeting, will be brought to a final con-
clusion and his services retained for the
farmers of North Carolina. His ability
and enthusiastic interest in work which
is of value to the farmer are needed in
this State, and it is certain that Prof.
Massey's work will be of great benefit
if he is selected

TIE ARGUMENT BEGUN.
Mr.. Hamlin, of Danville, Va, Makes Opening
Speech For Plaintiff

The testimony of witnesses was COM
pleted yesterday afternoon in the suit
of Mrs. Mamie L. Rosemond against the
Seaboard Air Line for 100000 damages
on account of the killing of her husband,
John A. Rosemond, fireman on the engine
which was wrecked near Cheraw, S. c.,
about a year ago: The first argument
was made by Mr. Thomas Hamlin for
the plaintiff, and it was very forcible
and powerful plea, charging the COM
pany with gross negligence in not suf-
ficiently watching their roadbed, and
claiming that there was knowledge of
heavy rains and time enough to have
given warning, if proper care had been
exercised
Mr.. Hamlin is commonwealth attor-
ney of Danville, Va, and has recently
been admitted to practice. in North
Carolina. He is a North Carolinian by
birth, hailing from Richmond county,
and he studied law at Pearson's famous
law school.
At the conclusion of the evidence yes
terday, Major John D. Shaw, for the
railroad, made a motion to non-suit, on
the ground that it was not a case for a
jury, as only questions of law, and not
of fact, Were presented. He showed the
distinction between the case of a pas
senger and of an employee, and contended
that the weight of evidence proved
that the track was in good condition and
tina THE accident was the result of forces
over which the defendant had no con-
troll.
Col. T. NJ. Argo contended that the
case was one for the jury, and Judge
Winston denied the motion to non suit.
The following witnesses for the rail-
road were examined today: e. A. Muse,
engineer of the wrecked train; John Rob
ertson, j. b. Pendleton, j. H. Johnson,
o. L. Mailer, w. l.. Gregory. w. l.
Steele, d. K. Wright, A. E. Glenn, G.
c.. Scarlette, F. r. Gray, w. L. Tucker,
w. N. Crosby and w. l.. Sedden.
1t is probable that the argument of
counsel will continue the entire day to-
day.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT
Pony Mare, Running Away, Falls and
Breaks Her Neck.

rather peculiar accident occurred
yesterday shortly after l o'clock at the
corner of Salisbury and Martin streets.
A pony mare attached to a light empty
buggy was seen running away at full
speed down Salisbury street. Some one
at Martin street tried to stop the animal,
when she turned suddenly into Martin
street and slipped and FELL sliding fully
thirty feet after she struck the ground.
She never moved and it was found upon
examination that her neck was broken
close to the head, which must have
doubled under as she fell.
The pony, which was fine one, be-
longed to Mr.. John S. Jones, who con-
ducts a grocery store on Hargett street.
He said he valued her at $125, and that
she was only five years DID,
Mr.. o. p. Sasser who works for the
Raleigh Telephone Company, had Dor
rowed the pony for the purpose of driv-
ing out to the A. and M. College and left
her standing for a few minutes near the
Confederate monument, where she took
fright.

H. & B. BEERS MARKET LETTER.

Especial to the News and Observer ,
New Orleans, La, July 30.-LiVerpool
advices were not encouraging, conse-
uuently our market opened l to points
lower but advanced 5 to 6 subsequently
on claims of additional rains in Texas
doing damage in the Brazos Valley, as
that river has overlooked it's banks and
the water extends a half mile on each
side AS soon, however, as this demand
was filled values again eased off. closing
/ to points higher on the day on all
months except July, which declined 5
points. Rains were general in Texas
and Arkansas and showers fell in other
sections of the belt. The predictions are
for scattered rains throughout the cot
ton region tonight and Thursday Re-
ferring to the complaints of excessive
damage by rains in Texas, it must be
remembered that the same character OF
advices were circulated two years ago,
and while temporarily the injury was
considered irreparable it was ultimately
the means of making Texas raise "a
bumper crop" therefore operators think
the beneficial results in the end will
more than offset any local damage
which may take place. 1t was reported
that Houston received 104 bales of new
cotton today, which will be returned in
the receipts of tomorrow. The monthly
bureau will be issued on August 4th
and it is the general opinion that the
average condition of SAT- per cent, re-
turned on late reports, ought to be main
tanned owing to the general improve
ment which has materialized since the
issuance of same. This will compare to
a condition of 77.2 per cent last year and
rs per cent year before last. 1t is ques-
tionable, though, whether the anticipa-
tions will be realized when it is consid-
cred that the government reports are al
ways more pessimistic than private ad-
vices. The market, however, will con-
tinue to be ruled almost entirely by
daily weather conditions.

THE new FRANCHISE
Granted Yesterday to Street
Car Company.
Cars Must bs Run to the Union Station and The
Eastern Limits of the City, Outside
Capital Has Option.

The Board of Aldermen, in special SEES
sion yesterday at noon, adopted the or
dinance granting an extension of %
years to the franchise of the street rail
way, operated by the Raleigh Electric
Company. The old franchise had nine
years more to run. so that this means
thirty-four years more for the company
Mayor Powell called the board to or
der at few minutes after II o'clock.
There were present Aldermen ]. s.
Upchurch, c. B. Barbee, A. ]. Jackson
VIM Boylan, John Ward, H. T. Hicks,
T. b. Griffis, H. H. Croker, r. C. Red
ford, Lynn Wilder and C. d. Arthur.
Alderman Wilder, for the Light Com
mlttee, submitted the contract for the
new lights, signed and sealed. This was
accepted without discussion.
City Attorney Walter L. Watson then
read the ordinance as drawn up by the
Street Committee, and embodying the
new franchise. With the exception of
the following important differences, it
resembles the old franchise.
1t gives the company the right to es-
tablish power plant for the furnishing
of electricity for lighting and motive
power
1t provides that the cars must be run
to the Union Station and to a point on
the eastern limits of the city south of
East Hargett street, as well as to the
points now reached.
The company can not discontinue run
ming cars to any of the terminals with
out the consent of the Board of Alder
men of this city. In order to obtain such
consent thirty days notice must be given
and the action of the board must be
taken at a regular meeting.
The new franchise does not give the
company exclusive rights. The old fran
chise was exclusive. but the Supreme
Court has held that a city cannot give
an exclusive franchise.
Upon motion of Alderman Wilder the
ordinance was adopted and the new fran
chise thereby granted. There was no
discussion, and the action was unanimous.
The board then adjourned.
Mr.. K. T. Gray, attorney for the Raj
eigh Electric Company, was asked by a
News and Observer man If it was true
that outside capital was going to get
control of the company and operate an
up to-date car line in this city.
RE said it was, and that an option
was now held upon the stock: but he
was not at liberty to give out the names
of the parties interested.

night before finding the man guilty
as charged in the information. An ap-

motion on same heard at two o'clock
this afternoon. The motion was over
RULED and the court then sentenced
McDaniels to not less than thirteen
and not more than seventeen months
in the pententiary at Canon City. In
passing sentence the court remarked
that he made the sentence light owing
to circumstances and the fact that
others might be equally guilty, but
wanted to give sufficient sentence to
iupress upon the prisoner that he
must not do the things OF which he
was convicted.
