Not Tax. Listers Fault.

To the Editor: / notice in your article
on incomes yesterday this item;
1T will be rene mbered that Senator
Simmons name appeared among several
unlisted incomes One who knew the
facts in the case explained this yester-
day. The Senator put down on his per
sonal abstract his salary of $4,000 as a
United States Senat tor, but in some wav
the tax-lister failed to get it in the pro-
per place on the books or failed to carry
it forward altogether
The above does not state the facts at
all. Senator Simmons did not appear he
fore the Listers of Raleigh at all Dur
ing the entire nine weeks which they
spent in the Listers office, nor did Mr.
Simmons put his income on his personal
abstract for taxation. The abstract is
now in the Register of Deeds office. and
was filed by his clerk. On examination
/ find that on Mr.. Simmons list, left in
Register of Deeds office, after the List
ers had turned over the books. in the
blank for incomes but not extended for
computation. this entry in Senator Sim
mons own handwriting:
'Am advised salary as member Senate
not liable to income tax. Amount of
salary is $1,000"
Nor was the abstract sworn to. Had
Mr. Simmons personally listed his taxes
he would have been asked the necessary
questions about his income. zone who
knew should not have tried to place the
blame upon the Listers, for it does not
properly belong there. Myself and Mr.
G.. d. Arthur did our best to place all in
comes, which were taxable, upon the
books, and if we failed it was not orr
fault.
Thanking you in advance for myself

IN STATES PRISON

The train rioters and murderers are no
longer in the iail at Henderson.
Yesterday they were brought to Raj
eigh on the afternoon train from Hender-
son. There was no demonstration of any
kind as they were taken from the train
through the depot, placed in a hack, and
carried at once to the States Prison. In
the party were the two Coles and John
JONES' alias Charley Ferguson. The
other two negroes, Payne and Mitchell,
are held as witnesses and were not
brought here.
The prisoners were in charge of Sheriff
e. A. Powell. while with him came Mr..
Thad R. Manning, editor of the Hender-
son Gold Leaf, and Mr.. S. w. Duke, OF
Eusom, Vance county.
There was no attempt to make an at
tack on the prisoners from the time they
were taken from the Jail at Henderson
until they were safely housed here, and
they will remain in the State Prison till
court convenes on Vance county on Sep
TENDER 30, when they will be taken back
to Henderson for trial.
The bringing of the negroes to Raj
eigh is a great relief to the people of
Henderson and othe Vance Guards. AS
long as they were in Jail there was talk
of lynchers coming from beyond the
county, and a military guard was deemed
necessary. Their removal here relieves
all this tension.

Two Hundred are Slain

The peace commissioners who left Panama July 20 on the British steamer Cana to visit the revolutionary general, Herrara, near Agua Dulce, returned to Panama at noon Friday. They in- formed the Associated Press that they were unable to fulfill their mission because of very severe engagement between Herrara's forces and the gov ernment troops that had been in pro- gress since Tuesday, July 29, when the revolutionary forces began to attack Agua Dulce.
 At o'clock Tuesday morning the best battalions of the revolutionary forces attacked the government en- trenchment with fierce courage. The slaughter of the revolutionists is said to have been excessive and bar barous. The same afternoon white flag was raised in their camp and they asked for an armistice, during which they could bury their dead. This was granted.
 The losses of the rebels up to We'd nesday, July 30, were reported at over 200, while the government forces had eight men killed and eleven wounded.
 General Moreno, one of the peace commissioners, says the entrenchments at Agua Dulce are masterpieces of military art.
 At the expiration of the time of the armistice the engagement recommended with the same tierceness. Nine govern ment battalions which had not taken part in the fight were still being held in reserve.
 General Salazar, governor of Panama, has received letter from the govern ment general, Morales Berti, saying he is very enthusiastic as to the out come, and he hopes to win battle which will decide the fate of the isthmus. General Salazar in his turn is doing everything in his power to help General Berti.

Orange and Lemon Rot

The present season has been more than usually favorable to the decay of oranges, especially in early shipments. Every year the loss from the rotting of both oranges and lemons is very considerable. The cause of the rot and the precautions that should be taken to avoid the trouble are very rarely understood by those who handle the fruits; and there can be no doubt that fuller knowledge of the subj ect would enable growers and shippers to avoid much of the loss. The present bulletin is prepared in response to requests from numerous growers for information on this subject:
 The Cause.-The cause of the rot of oranges and lemons is the growth, through their substances of a mould fungus known scientifically under the name of Penicillium digitatum. The growth of the plant within the fruit causes softening and breaking down of the tissue, very characteristic change in the flavor of the juice, and sooner or later very pronounced dis coloration of the affected part. The fungus belongs to genus consisting of number of well-known species, all having much the same manner of growth and producing decays on vari- ous substances. The name "blue mold" applies to the whole group. The best-known species is Penicillium crustaceum, or, as it is more commonly called, Penicillium glaucum. This species is one of the common forms of rot producing fungi that attack decidu- ous fruits, but it is probably even better known from it's attack upon all manner of substances in the house. hold, such as cooked foods, clothing, etc. While Penicillium crustaceum IS thus found in great variety of situa- tions, it appears that Penicillium digi- tatum attacks only citrus fruits, con fining itself wholly to these-Fiorida Agricuturist.

A General Campaign

The fields and orchards of Southern California aie now the scene of a gen. eral attack upon the Russian thistle these days wherever that noxious weed has found roofing. This activity is not noticeable in Colorado or Kansas, where this pest is seemingly running free, with no attempt to limit it's ravages. I have seen thousands of acres in Colorado lately rankly overrun with thistles. crowding out alfalfa, making more difficult the cultivation of corn, sugar beets and even orchards, piling up against fences and having drifted all over the country. The farmers of Southern California have not yet given up, defeated upon the proposition of stamping out this viru- lent weed, nor will they till every effort has been made to destroy the pest.
 The Russian thistle has been found in only one locality in Los Angeles county this season, namely Baldwin's ranch, in the neighborhood of Puente. This is encouraging. But only through eternal vigilance can we hope to pre- vent repetition in the south of the experiences with this weed almost everywhere in the semi-arid states. Every farmer should give the extermi- nation of the pest his undivided atten- tion if his lands bear it or those of his neighbors. With 10000 acres again cleaned of the thistle this section should be in fair way toward com plete control. Times.

How to Get Good Stock

An unsigned account is given in Dairy and Produce Review by farmer who worked over his common poultry in this way: "Two years ago l decid- ed to work into full blood flock, and selected the Silver Laced Wyandottes as the best compromise for both eggs and poultry. secured some eggs and raised few chickens. 1 disposed of all the cocks except the Wvandottes, and kept the hens as before. The Wyandotte hens laid eggs that were easily told from the others, so only Wyandotte eggs were used for setting.
 ''I have raised nice lot of chickens and have sold off the mixed stock, so that we have succeeded in raising as many full bloods as are wanted on the farm without being out very much money, and without having to pen the Wyandottes up to keep them separate. There are quite. a number of other breeds that may be managed in the same way, and a full blood flock may be obtained with an outlay of only a few dollars for eggs, and occasionally buying a cockerel in order to get new blood.

District Attorney Mulin of Grand Junction, who is in Denver, was in- formed by telegraph that Mrs. N. B.

 Mrs. Irving has appealed to the Humane society, on the ground that the action of her enemies is cruelty to animals, and it is stated that among her guards are several deputies of the Humane society. It is said that Mrs. Irving's Angoria goat ranch is backed by Chicago merchant, who intends to establish mohair factory at Grand Junction.
