MUST PAY TIE 50, 500.
Supreme Court Decides For A. & n. College at
Greensboro.

According to an opinion handed down
yesterday by Judge Cook, of the Supreme
Court, the State Treasurer wtii have to
pay So 500 to the A. and M. College for
the colored race At Cir, lSbcro, in addi-
ton to the appropriations made by the
last Legislature, amounting to 100000.
When the college was first established.
the laws of 1891 stated that $4,000 a year
was to be paid for carrying into effect
the act establishing the college. In 1898
the Legislature appropriated 5000 an
nually for two years for the purpose of
completing the college, fitting it up, etc
Then the Legislature of 1895 appropl lated
$1,000 annually for the support of the
college.
Every State Treasurer since 1891 has
been paying that $4,000 year for carry
ing into effect the act establishing the
college. Treasurer Lacy, howov r, re-
fused to pay it, claiming that the subse-
quent acts repealed the act of 1891, that
the act of 1898 completed the act estab-
fishing the college, and that the act f
1895 fixed the appropriation for it's sup
port.
But the Supreme Court says, in affirm
ing the judgment of the Guilford Superior
Court, that the act establishing the
college has never been repealed, and that
the law has never been carried into eff
feet, and that the $4,000 year must be
r aid.

THE ILLINOIS CONVENTION.
Red Hot Address by Laurence B. stringer
Of Lincoln.
(By the Associated Press.)


Springfield Ills, June 17.-Chairman
John M. Hopkins. chairman Of the State
Central Committee, called the Demo-
cratic State Convention to order and
introduced to the Convention the tenn
Eorary chairman, Lawrence b. Stringer
OF Lincoln Mr.. Stringer said in part:
ut is strange, or is it startling that
at one fell swoop. our whole national
policy should be reversed and our fu-
ture career irrevocably changed? 1t is
not SO strange when one reflects that
the party in power owes its success, its
pedominance, aye, it's very life to the
organized and syndicated trusts, that
with jaws and paws have seized the
Government itself. Having exploited
every pursuit upon American soil. they
have sought new worlds to conquer and
at their behest and bidding We are to-
day exchanging blood for dividends and
ruling crown colonies by the sword.
HAS it not occurred to you that under
lying every act against law, liberty and
humanity, committed by the party in
power. will be found the high protective
tariff tax which it levies at our ports
of entry? Destroy high tariffs and you
destroy the trusts. Destroy the trusts
and you destroy the soul and quench
the fire of the imperialistic and colonial
policy that has hauled down the nations
flag and raised counterfeit copy of the
same instead, with clots of blood for
stars.
"The Democratic party stands in this
fight where it has always stood. cham
pioning the peoples rights. 1t stands
the enemy of monopoly, the foe to OPP
preston, the friend of labor and the
inspiration of youth. 1t stands for purity
in public life, economy in public service,
the abolition of privileges to the few
for taxes no greater than the Govern
ment needs and for a trade unfettered
and free. 1t stands for an expansion,
contiguous constitutional and symbol
lied by stars-to-b upon the nations
flag. 1t stands for the enforcement of
low a loved President, that takes the
life of a governor in the capitol city of
the State and that hides behind ex-
tradition laws to save political friends
indicted for such friends, from the righte-
Gus process of the law
Upon the conclusion of Mr.. Stringer's
address which was greeted with cheers
the temporary organization of the con-
vention was made permanent The meme
bership OF the Committee on Resolutions
was then announced and that body adj
journed to prepare its report.

DELINQUENT CITY TAXPAYERS
TAKE NOTICE.

There are still many city taxpayers
who have not settled their 1901 poll and
personal property taxes. 1t is impossible
Tor the collector to see each one in per-
son, as his place of duty is at the tax
office, there being no assistant or deputy.

sent out by mail do very little, if any,
good. Therefore this general notice, in
addition to several hundred already
mailed, will be the only notice given.
The collector being held by his oath and
bond of office. must collect these taxes,
and this will be done duding this and
next month by levy and garnishment I'M

| Algona, Feb. Last night at IL
o'clock the fire alarm was sounded and
lit was found that the old landmark,
the Farmers mill, was on fire. 1t was
totally destroyed. Not a thing was
saved The fire was discovered by c.
Z. Heise, who was just returning home
from his barber ship. When near his
home he noticed smoke in the direction
Iof the mill and upon investigating
found the mill on fire. He Immediately
turned in an alarm. 1t was of no avail,
however, as the mill could not be
reached by the fire department. The
less is estimated at about $4,000, with
but little insurance. 1t will in all prob
ability never be rebuilt. The origin of
the fire is not known. When first dis
covered the engine house was on fire,
but as they had not been running the
mill that day 1t is mystery how 1t
started. The day before a car of slack
coal had been unloaded in the coal shed
adjoining the engine house. There were
several hundred bushels of wheat and
several tons of flour in the MILL which
all went up in flames. The old mill is
part of the city's history. 1t was
built forty years ago and has been run
ming almost continuously ever since. 1t
will be greatly missed.

been a liberal marketing of half-tat
and medium kinds. and these are 10 to
20 cents lower. The only class of cat
tie that can be handled to make money
on the high priced feed are those OF
good quality and they must also be in
good flesh. Parties who have cattle of
medium quality on hand to which they
are feeding the present high priced
corn would do better to dispose of them
and a little later on put in some half
fat steers of good quality and feed them
for the early summer market. Butcher
stock trade this week has been active.
Good to choice cows and heifers show
s 15-cent advance and the outlook for
this class is quite favorable Trading
in the stocker and feeder line has also
been active this week, some good lots
selling at $40 to $50. There has

The Droyers' Journal says: There
should be nothing to prevent extensive
stock raising in Cuba as soon as affairs
down that way get thoroughly settled.
Cuba once had good many cattle, but,
under Spanish oppression, the industry
was handicapped, and the war of 1898
practically cleaned out the supply. For
several years cattle have been sent to
Cuba from Texas for slaughter. The
climate and soil are especially well
adapted for stock raising in Cuba, and
all the natives need is few lessons
from our farmers. The business. how
ever, is beginning to pick UP again and
ii is estimated that the total number
Of cattle now on the island is about
100000 head. They are needed not alone
for work on the plantations. but also
for food 1t is somewhat surprising that
the amount of meat consumed during
1890 is estimated at about sixty pounds
per head, and that in the year previous
nearly 100000 steers and hogs were i'm
ported for food alone.
