East Indian IDOLS.

The images of the gods in India are
not made by separate caste, but the
carpenters and masons respectively
make the large wooden and stone idols
set up in the temples, the potters the
clay idols consumed in daily worship
and the braziers, coppersmiths and
goldsmiths the little images in brass,
copper, mixed metal and gold and sill.
'ver that are always kept in private
homes. The East Indians regard an
alloy Of brass with five other metals
gold, silver, iron, tin and lead, making,
with the copper and zinc Of the brass,
a mixture Of light metals-as perfect
alloy, and this is highly priced as
material for sacred images.

LATEST NORTH CAROLINA CROP
BULLETIN.

Issued by the Climate and Crop Section,
North Carolina Weather Bureau, Early
Last Week.
The following is the last State
crop bulletin for this season.:
Picking cotton has progressed
quite rapidly under favorable condi-
tions; practically about three
fourths of the open cotton has been
picked out; the warm weather has
caused very rapid opening of the re-
naming bolls, and a few correspond
ents state that much of the cotton
just opening falls out badly. In some
localities the yield of cotton is bet
ter than anticipated, but as a whole,
previous reports of a short crop
seem amply justified. Gathering old
corn is underway; late bottom land
corn is about mature, and will give
a fine yield. Fodder has all been
placed in shock. The cutting of to-
bacco in northern counties where
much remains in the fields is being
pushed, and the crop continues to
cure well. Turnips are doing nicely.
The crop of peas is short, but a fine
yield of hay is being cut and cured
under favorable conditions. Rice
is about all cut on the lower Cape
Fear River and IS an exceptionally
fine crop. Fall blowing, and sowing
winter wheat and oats are underway;
some oats have come up nicely.

North Carolina Pensioners.

State Auditor Dixon has made
up the figures as to the pension rolls.
He said: "There we're 5000 pen
sioners last year. You remember
these were all, under the new law,
new applications. This year we
have had 1928 new applications, of
which 647 we're from widows and
1851 from soldiers. Of these about
$500 have passed. You must de-
duct about 800 pensioners who have
died. This will give about 1900 to
be allowed pensions this year. I am
pretty sure this is the high-water
mark as to numbers, and that hence
forward there will be a falling off.
The new law requires that when
pensions are pro rata the reduction
shall apply more particularly to the
fourth class, which includes the
widows. Hence the falling off, owing
to the large increase will be princi-
pally on that class, which last year
got 500 a year and this year, it
seems, will get about SIS. The re-
port shows that during the year 80
widows and 1876 soldiers have died,
but there are a few incomplete re-
ports and [ am sure the dead will
reach the 300 I mentioned"
The State pension board has placed
on the roll the first and only Indian
pensioner. He is a Cherokee, and
from Cherokee county, and in April
1862, enlisted in the Sixty-ninth
North Carolina regiment, serving
CALAMITY until the end of the war.

WILCOX WILL GET A NEW TRIAL.

The Alleged Murderer of Nellie Cropsy
Succeeds by Reason of the Demon
strations Against Him While the Trial
was in Progress.
Jim Wilcox will get a new trial. 7
The Supreme Court of North Car
olina so ordered yesterday afternoon
in the opinion handed down in the
famous case.
The opinion was written by Judge
Montgomery, and Judge Clark filed
a concurring opinion. They took into
consideration the demonstrations
that "were made for the purpose of
breaking the force of the counseI's
argument" to quote the language Of
the judge who tried the, case in
Elizabeth City.
Judge Montgomery, in the opinion
of the court, says: "No such de-
monstration were ever witnessed in
u State before, and for the honor
of the Commonwealth, such ought
never to be repeated"
Jim Wilcox, as is we'll remember
ed, was accused of numbering Miss
Nellie Cropsey in Elizabeth City last
winter. They had been sweethearts
and had quarreled. He was the last
person seen with her on the night
of her disappearance, and a chain of
circumstantial evidence was wrought
around him, until he was finally
found guilty of murder in the first
degree. Miss Cropsey's body was
found in the water near her home,
thirty-seven days after she disappear
ed, in a state of perfect preservation.
The next term of superior court
in Pasquotank County begins on No
vember 18th, and it is likely the case
will come up during that week unless
there is some motion to the con-
trary.-News and Observer.
