London, June 5.-The House Of
Commons has voted the grant of ESQ.,
600 to Lord Kitchener. As a remarit
able coincidence. Parliament June-G
three years ago voted its thanks and
$4,000 to the same General for his
service in Egypt. q .
Mr.. Balfour, In supporting the mo-
ton, referred to Lord Kitchener's
rapid promotion. The Liberal leadee,
Sir Henry Campben-Bannerman, who
seconded the motion, paid a warm trt-
butte to Lord Kitchener as a soldier
and statesman.
John Dillon. Irish Nationalist, led
the opposition in behalf of the Ma
tionalists. Mr.. Dillon said he and his
friends absolutely objected to the vote,
because they were opposed to the pol
icy of the war in South Africa and
the conduct of the campaign, which in
volved wholesale devastation and desc
lation.

NORTH CAROLINA AFFAIRS IN WASH
IHGTON.

Washington Cor. Post: The Presi-
dent evidenced his high regard for
Senator Pritchard today before a par
ty of North Carolinians. Speaking to
them, he said: II want to tell you that
no man in either branch of Congress
stands higher than Senator Pritch-
ard" The President made this com
plimentary reference to the Senator
in his characteristic and emphatic
style.
The fact that Senator Pritchard has
invited the President tx spend a week
in Western North Carolina as his
guest next fall will be of special in
terest to North Carolinians. Senator
Pritchard made the invitation all the
more attractive to the President by
describing the opportunities afforded
for hunting bear in the Black noun
tains. The President spoke enthusiast
tically of such a trip and he told the
Senator that if he could possibly get
away from Washington he will be only
too glad to do so. Big Tom Wilson,
whose fame as a bear hunter has often
beer told, will have a special invita-
ton to accompany the President in
pursuit of bear if he can make. the
trip. One of the most gratifying re-
suits of the interview to Senator
Pritchard was the Presidents refer
ence to the Appalachian Park meas
ure, which he very strongly favors.
Mr.. Roosevelt expressed the hope hat
the bill for the establishment of the
park would pass at this session of
Congress.
With the establishment of another
circuit judgeship in the Fourth Dis
trict, of which North Carolina is a
part, it is believed that Senator
Pritchard would be rendered the .ap-
pOintment by President Roosevelt. In
.teresting just now is the fact recently
developed that the district is entitled
to another judge and that Judge ST.
monitor and Golf, the two presiding
Judges of the district, have urged that
Congress pass a bill increasing the
number of judges in the district to
three.

tried for high treason before the or
binary courts of the country or such
special courts as may hereafter be
constituted, their punishment to be
left to the discretion of such court,
with the proviso that in no case shall
the penalty of death be inflicted.
"The Natal government are of the
opinion that the rebels should be dealt
with according to the law of that col
onv."
"These arrangements" concluded
Mr.. Balfour, "the government have ap-
proved"
Sir Henry Campbell annerman,
the Liberal leader, in behalf of the OPP
position, said unbounded satisfaction
would be felt throughout the empire
at the conclusion of peace. They were
unanimous in admiration of their late
enemies, now their friends and fellow
citizens, whose military qualities, ten
acity of purpose and self sacrificing
devotion to liberty and country had
won for them the respect of the whole
world, and, foremost of all, the respect
of their opponents. Every member
would offer congratulations to the
King and to the country on the thrice
blessed restoration of peace.
Mr.. Balfour, having announced that
the government would take an early
opportunity of moving a vote of
thanks to Lord Kitchener and the
forces in South Africa, the members
of the House of Commons returned to
their ordinary vo~cations.

FIGURES AS TO POLL TAX DIsFRAM.
CHIsEMENT.

4-Ee. 20 -.aF-
The Washington correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer writes as fol-
lows
State Chairman Simmons has now
heard from about half the counties in
the State with reference to the poll
tax situation, and it is only telling
halt, the story to say that he is well
pleased. In 40 counties only 3,64s
Democrats are found on the delin-
quent list, while in the same number
of counties 5,49O, Republicans and
Populists and 14,943 negroes failed
to comply with the law. Of course a
large number of the negroes on the de-
linquent list are able to read and
write, but an exact estimate of the
number cannot be made, as the returns
in this respect are incomplete. Basing
the figures on the returns already re-
ceived 1920 Democrats, 10000 white
Republicans and about 10000 negroes
in the State have failed to pay their
poll tax, and consequently will not be
allowed to vote. Chairman Simmons
has again sent out letters asking for
complete returns. Of the counties
heard from q are in the east and %
are western counties. The great ma
jority of the negroes who failed to pay
their taxes live in the east. The ma
jority of the white men who failed to
pay live in the west. Of the Demo
Gratis reported unpaid 2,168 live in the
east, 1,480 in the west. Of the white
Republicans and Populists LIT live
in the east, 3,717 in the west. Ten
thousand of the unpaid negroes live
in the east. In this calculation the
first, second, third, fourth and sixth
districts are considered the east, and
the fifth, seventh, eighth, ninth and
tenth districts are considered the west.

THE AREA IN COTTON.
About Three-Tenths Of One Per Cent Less
This Year Than Last.

Washington, June 3.-The statisti-
clan of the Department of Agricul-
ture, estimates the total area planted
in cotton at about three-tenths of one
per CEN less than the acreage planted
last year On the basis of the acreage
figures published on May .3rd of last
year, this would give an acreage for
the year 19O2-'O3 of about 27,45O,O 900.
From the recently published census
report for 1899, however, it is appa-
rent that for some years past the
acreage planted in cotton in the Caro-
linas, Arkansas and Tennessee has
been somewhat over-estimated, and
that in Texas and other States more
or less underestimate, with the re-
suit hat for the cotton belt as a whole
there has been an nder-estimation of
acreage, and an over-estimation of
yield per acre. Adjustments have
been made to bring the Departments
estimates into reasonable conformity
with the report of the census, the net
result being an addition of about 49,
900 acres to the estimate of the area
planted last year. This. addition raised
the estimate of the area planted for
19O2-'O3 to about 27,878,OOO acres, or
$4,000 acres less than the revised area
for last year.. There is a reported de-
crease in acreage amounting to 9 per
cent in North Carolina, 4.6 per cent in
South Carolina, 4 per cent in Geor-
gia, 3 per cent in Alabama, four-tenths
of one per cent in Mississippi, and
three-tenths of one per cent in Ar
kansas. On the other hand there is an
increase of three per cent in Louisi-
ana and Florida, 2.5 per cent in Texas,
8 per cent in Missouri, Is per cent in
Oklahoma, "a per cent in Indian Ter
ritory and fve-tenths of one per cent
in Tennessee.
The average condition of the grow
ing crop on May 26th was 95.1, as
compared with 81.5 on May Doth of
last year, 82.5 on june /, 1900, 85.7 on
June /, 1899, and a ten year average
of IS. Only twice within a period of
21 years, namely, in 1887 and 1896,
has the average condition on June /
been as high as the condition now re-
In the former year it was
96.9, and in the latter 97.2.

LATEST NORTH CAROLINA CROP BULLE
TIN.

The State Crop Bulletin issued by
the Weather Bureau last Tuesday, is
as follows:
Cotton suffered considerably from
the cool weather, and many plants
have become yellow or sickly in ap-
~pearance, hence growth has been very
slow during the week; chopping cot
ton is approaching completion; on ac-
count of dry weather much late
planted is not yet up. Corn has also
suffered, but to a much less extent
from drought and cool nights; gener-
ally the crop is in good condition and
most of it has received second cultiva-
ton; ravages by worms are reported
by a large number of correspondents.
The outlook for tobacco is not good
at present; growth was checked this
week. so that recently set out. plants
have not secured a good start; poor
stands, i~rregularity in growth, and
damage by insects contribute to~the
unfavorable prospect for this crop.
While a number of reports indicate
that the heads of winter wheat are fill
ing well, the crop is ripening so low
that much a hardly be cut; harvest
will soon begin; chinch bugs are dam
aging wheat. Spring oats are begin
ming to suffer from drought at the
most critical period of growth, while
beginning to head. Peanuts seem to
be doing fairly well. Gardens where
properly worked are in good condition,
and vegetables of all kinds have be-
abundant. Digging Irish pOta-
toes is underway, with indications for
a somewhat inferior yield. Fruit is
still falling considerably. A full crop
of b~lackberries is promised. The
strawberry season is about over.

Cary Cor. News and Observer, 9th:
The entire plant of the Cary Lumber
Company was totally destroyed by fire
early this afternoon. The most con-
sentative estimate of the loss sustain
ed places it at $4,000. The insurance
amounted to less than $4,000. The
blaze started in the boiler ROOM; how,
it is unknown. 1t was the biggest and
most destructive fire that has occurred
in this section for years, perhaps in
all its history. One million feet of
lumber, covering about two acres of
ground were destroyed, together with
all the buildings and machinery of the
plant.
Statesville Cor. Charlotte Observer:
The County Commissioners were in
regular session today and besides the
routine business transacted, a tax levy
of 81 % cents on 800 and $2.75 ON the
poll was made for 1902. They in
creased the road tax 6,2-3 cents on the
800, that tax having been s 1-3 cents.
A large number of representative cit
liens from different sections of the
county appeared before the board in
behalf of better roads and asked that
they take prompt action toward MAX
ing permanent roads, but for some
reason of which the public is unaware,
they failed to take other steps in this
direction aside from increasing the
road tax.
Greensboro dispatch: The Board of
County Commissioners acted on two
important school matters today, order
ing on the recommendation of the
board of education local tax elections
for a special school district composed
of Sandy Ridge school district No. 1,
and Wildwood school district No. 4:
and also for a special school district
composed of Dover school district No.
2 and Colfax school district No. 3.
This is in line with the prevailing idea
that the school districts should be lar
ger than they are at present. In the
two special districts mentioned a spe-
cial annual tax of not more han u
cents on the 800 and SO cents on the
poll may be levied provided a majority
of the voters agree.
