in all probability have tendency to cur

the narrowing of January and March po-

ITO Goldsboro."
And the next question which is sure
TO follow the first was, ANY news for

Governor Aycook is doing as a vast ma

doing. As ne is descendant of an eligi-

register under this right, and not be-
cause his education would enable him so
to do In the campaign for the amend

this by Announcing that they would reg

aE HANFoRD AND MISS DRoFNAH
SCORE a SPLENDID SUCCESS
Much Ado About Nothing" Was Presented in
Magnificent Style by Talented Com
pany Of Artists.

The simple announcement that Mr.
Ado About Nothing" in this city last
night was sufficient guarantee that there
would be an attraction of an especially
high order.
Mr.. Hanford comes to us each season
and the public has learned to attend
with confidence the theatre at which he
appears, and to adopt phrase of the
period which is perhaps no more slangful
than some OF the mwith which Shake
speare deigned to please the groundlings.
"he delivers the goods" and does so
royalty.
Raleigh theatre goers will remember
his Tanning of the -" so splendidly
rendered last season when hundreds were
turned away unable to get even standing
room, and it is not saying too much for
the excellence of this attraction when
we chronicle the prediction that last
nights performance of Much Ado About
Nothing" will live in the recollection of
those who were present, for many years
to come.
Mr.. Hanford was cast for Benedict,
while Miss Marie Drofuah assumed the
role of Beatrice. A finer bit of acting
has never been seen on the local stage
than this pair of players gave last even
ing.
Great care must have been exercised in
the selection of the supporting company
for each member seemed to fit into their
roles to a nicely. Miss Rose Curry gave
delightful performance of Hero, while
the unconscious mischief maker, Miss
Violet Person as Margaret, was excep-
tionally good Miss Diana Herrick as
Ursula, won much deserved praise, and
most cleverly gave a performance fully
in line with the good work of the others
Special mention should be made of the
hne rendering of the lines of Don Pedro
by Mr.. P. j. Duggan, and of the excellent
comedy work of Messrs. Fred Hight and
Robert L. Allen. Mr.. Paul Anderson in
the double role of Borachio and the
Friar gave an excellent performance Of
both, while the claudio of Mr. Irwin
knight, and the Don John of Mr. Stewart
z. Beck. as well as the Leonato of Mr.
Edison Thurlow White rounded out q
company of supporting players superior
TO any that Raleigh has seen for many
day.
The costuming was gorgeous and must
represent large expenditure in this line
Ihe scenery was new and handsome
July in kpeing with atmosphere of the
play.
Mr.. Hanford, you delivered the goods, -
and last nights performance has added
10 your reputation, as was evinced by
the applause and expressions of pleasure
heard from the large and cultured au-
dience, which greeted you and your splen-
did supporting company.

Wheat After Corn.
Cw. F. Massey in Practical Farmer

(W T. Massey in Practical Farmer)
w. e. Blackburn Bower, n. CT have
corn and tobacco growing on land that
had heavy crop of clover turned under
in the spring. / VIII cut corn of land
and prepare the land for wheat with a
Getaway harrow. L want to know if there
is still enough ammonia left in the land
for the wheat crop, or whether l shall
have to buy a complete fertilizer for the
wheat" IN a complete fertilizer mixture
the ammonia would cost you about as
much as the other ingredients together
One OF the chief objects in the growing OF
clover and peas is to avoid the pur-
chase OF nitrogen or ammonia. The or
ganic matter you buried in the spring
has not yet become completely nitrified,
we feel certain. If we were putting wheat
en- that land we would put about the
same value in acid phosphate that we
would put in complete fertilizer, and
thus get heavier dressing of the acid
phosphate, which is the most important
thing for the wheat crop. Three hun
dred to four hundred pounds per acre
Of acid phosphate will give you better
results on the wheat than 200 to 25O
pounds of a complete fertilizer that
potash, it depends on the character of the
soil. IL it is red land we would not use
the potash either If it is gray land, or
such rs is usually chosen for tobacco,
we would add some potash for that kind
of soil here is deficient in available
potash We believe that you will find
that it Will pay TO use 400 pounds per
acre of the acid phosphate on land to go
into wheat. Then use the Cutaway faith
fully, going over the land two or three
times as often as you might think neces-
sary, and every time you go over it before
seeding, you will be adding wheat to the
crop. We had rather SOW wheat on that
land without fertilizer, but as we'll pre-
pared as possible, than to SOW it on
poorly prepared land with t hebest of fer
tilizer. Some day the farmers OF the red
clay hills of the South will appreciate
the great value of a complete filming of
the soil, and will grow wheat in crops
that their land is capable OF doing, but
does not now because of bad farming.

WAKE COTTON CROP
figures his Year Compared
With Last.
The Crop Much Better Than Vas txp,cted a
Few Weeks Ago. Amount Bought TO
October Sd.

There is now not a shadow OF DOUBT
that the Wake county cotton crop is
great deal better than was hoped LOT
several weeks ago.
That is the consensus of opinion OF the
farmers on the subject, and Raleigh
cotton brokers' and business men in gem
eral concur nthat opinion.
A prominent merchant said yesterday
that the majority of the farmers now adj
nit that the crop will be considerably
better than they thought about thirty
days ago.
AS to the yield, the general estimate
seems to be that it viii amount to
something like two thirds of an average
crop.
Mr.. Baugh, a wen known farmer of this
township, wo was in tie city yesterday,
said that he was making about two-thirds
of a crop on average land. From seventy
acres he would make. he said, fifty-five
bales this year. con the whole, he con-
tinued, "the people in my section have
pretty good crops, better than they ex
pected. The corn crop is very good.
have enough old corn now to last until
Christmas.
Mr.. L. R. Wyatt, Of WAITS Station,
was another of Wake county's prominent
farmers interviewed on the subject yes
terday. He, too, considered that the yield
would be much greater than was expected.
He said: These last rains have ma
tured the late bolls, and made them
larger. On that account the last picking
is yielding better than was anticipated.
That rain about three weeks ago did
great deal of good, reviving the plants
wonderfully, and nourshing the bolls.
There will be about two-thirds of a crop.
Speaking of the dierence between the
crops this year and last. Mr. Wyatt said
that last year he made about thirty bales.
and that this year he would make about
eighty. There is practically no chance,
he sa3sse for second crop this year.
Mr.. NJ. T. Norris says that he has made
seventeen bales already on a piece of
land from which he made only seven last
year.
RECEIPTS COMPARED.
The comparison CT cotton receipts for
September of this year and the CORE
spending month last year is almost in
credible, but it is a question of cold fig
ures. They are as follows:
September, 1901, sos bales, $31,87G.
September, 1902, Bill bales, $114,529.
Up to October 3rd of this year the re-
ceipts were 4143 bales At the same
date last year they were only 1928 bales.

This farm contains very rich and

Owing to lack Of experience the
venture did not prove to be very
profitable one and after few months
the mica mines we're abandoned
Experts say that the deposit is very
valuable. A few men will begin work
at the mines at once and the officers
state that the force will be rapidly
augmented.
The new owners of the Estabrook
farm have been making efforts for sew
eral days to obtain options on ot-er
farms in that vicinity but:the farmers,
suspecting that he land is Of great
value, are holding out for prices which
are so high as tc prevent any sale be-

A narrow guage railroad will also be
constructed for the purpose of 'rry-
ing the mica to the nearest railway.
