Trey WILL RUN CARS TODAY.
The Strikers and Officials Are Yet Far From
an Agreement.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-Cars, under police
protection, were operated three times on
the Wentworth Avenue Line today with
out interference of material disturbance.
The police, under Assistant Chief Schuett-
Ter, kept the people moving on all streets
through which the cars passed and no
crowds were allowed to congregate. There
was much less disorderly disposition man
ifested by strike sympathizers and the
day day was one of comparative peace.
Two obstreperous hoodlums were dubbed
and thrown into a police patrol wagon
and this comprised the hostilities. The
work today has encouraged the company
to announce that it will run cars on Sum
day, the advisablity of which has been
heretofore matter of debate among the
company's officials
The prospects of peace is not promising
tonight. Both sides express themselves
as willing to arbitrate, but each is wait
ing for an advance from the other side.
The main difficulty in the way of arbi-
tration is an agreement on the matters
to be arbitrated. The company will arbi-
trate the wages only and the men desire
all grievances, which they allege to be
submitted to the board

THE SCHUBERT CONCERT.
Feast Of Music at the Baptist Female
University.

An audience, representative of the cul-
tured and refined musical people of the
city, assembled in the chapel OF the Bap
list Female University last night to hear
concert by the Schubert String Quartet
of Boston.
The audience filled every part of the
chapel, even the stage being utilized, a
number of young ladies' being seated on
either side the players.
The preliminary notices of this organ
iZation led the audience to anticipate
a rare treat and we are glad to say that
their highest anticipations were realized.
The Quartet played their way at once
into the good graces of the audience
and even with the heavy classical pro
the closest attention.
Rarely do the musical people of RAJ
eigh have the pleasure of listening to
chamber music of such high order. 1t
can support such organizations.
The playing of the Quartet in the diff
ferent numbers showed a beautiful en-
semble and their purity and beauty of
tone shading was that of real artists. The
middle group OF the program was com
posed of three lighter numbers. The pro
gram beginning with a Hayden Quartet
and ending with Mendelssohn's Quartet
in f minor. The Bach Air on the G
string for VIOLIN and the Chopin Etude
in sharp minor for violincello showed
Mr.. Loud and Mr.. Blair to be soloists of
mature training. The ever popular
Brecherini Minuet was played with a
charming delicacy rarely equalled.
From an artistic standpoint the con-
cert was a great success and on leaving
the hall expressions of extravagant praise
could be heard from every one on the
work of artists.
The quartet will render the offertorium
and a short sacred recital at the Church
OF the Good Shepherd this evening at
7:30 o'clock.

is VILE AND OBSCENE
Author and Seller of De-
PRAYED Book in Jail.
T. |, Ruth Before Mayor Powell who Sends
Him 10 Court Under One Runr
drtd Dollar Bond.

An example has been made by Mayor
State.
With white man before him charged
with exposing and selling obscene litera-
ture, he sent him to Jail in lieu of the
bond for his appearance at the next term
of court here.
T. l.. Ruth is the man, and 1t is under
stood that he comes from Cumberland
county. He has been Offering for sale and
selling in Raleigh book entitled MY
Own Life AS An Outcast Husband" at
SO cents a copy, of which he is the au-
thor and which he claims is impart a
history of certain instances in his life.
The book is copyrighted by Ruth and
was printed by G. II. Thompson in Fay
etteville. On its cover is Ruths picture.
The book is one full of incidents in
which vileness and filth of the most de-
PRAYED kind are shamelessly paraded. Two
gentlemen of this city, one who bought
a copy of the book and one who had seen
Ruth making sales of it gave the infora
ton on which Chief of Police Mullins
swore out the warrant charging Ruth
with exposing for sale and selling obscene
literature. Besides the gentlemen who
appeared the book Itself was put in evil
dence.
Col ]. c.. L. Harris appeared for Ruth,
but after looking into the case Mayor
Powell bound the prisoner over TO the
next term of court under a 500 bond. AS
Ruth was not able to secure this he is
now in Wake county Jail.
The man is wanderer and he says that
never before has he been arrested for
selling his book. In it he states that the
easiest way he has of making a living
is by writing such stuff about himself.
The book begins with his marriage which
he says took place in Hope Mills, N c.,
in 1891.
Mayor Powell is to be commended for
putting stop to the selling OF such i'm
moral and depraved literature in Raj
eigh and the case will be watched with
interest when it reaches the Superior
court.

IMPORTANCE OF HUMUS.

Some years ago the enthusiastic editor
of the American Fertilizer" told US TO
give humus a rest, and that commercial
fertilizers would do all the work needed.
But to show that we have been right all
teh time in urging the Importance Of
humus in the soil in making the use OF
fertilizers profitable, we call attention to
the results obtained at the Tennessee
Station and noticed this week in the
Cream of the Bulletins. In these ex-
periments it was shown that Is tons OF
OF stable manure per acre increased the
yield of wheat on bare fallow 1871
bushels per acre, while fertilizers alone
on a poor soil failed to increase the
yield more than from three to five BUSH
els. and in dry season were used at a loss.
And yet all over the country, and es
pecially in the middle South, men are
depending on $50 to 200 pounds per acre
of complete fertilizer on poor land, and
wonder that the yield of wheat is so
small The Tennessee experiments also
showed that where COW peas were plowed
down there was an increase in the wheat
crop of five to eleven bushels per acre
in a favorable season, and from three
to eight in dry one. 1nis all shows the
moisture in the soill The fertilizers ap-
Piled to the poor soil doubtless had more
available plant food than the stable man
ure but associated with the stable man
ure was a large amout of humus-making
and MISUNDERSTANDING vegetable matter,
and the plant food was better dissolved,
while in a dry season the fertilizers alone
were wasted. This is the point on winch
we have insisted for years. Land destl-
tute of humus seldom returns a fair
profit from the use Of commercial fer
tilizers, especially in a dry season, be-
cause of the lack of moisture to dissolve
it. while in a soil Astounding in vegetable
decay at the same time the results from
dertilizers will be good. There is no
better argument for the use of good
rotation and legumes than the results
Prof. Soule secured in Tennessee.

WHY DOES NOT THE SOUTH GROW
MORE HAY?

We have studying the statistics OF the
United States Department OF Agriculture,
and they show some very interesting flg-
ures. The average yield of hay per acre
in the State OF Iowa, which is ore OF the
best hay and stock States, was 1.33 tons
per acre for ten years. The average
yield of hay during the same tine in
North Carolina was .46 tons per acre.
During the same time the average value
per acre of hay in North Carolina was
$15.14, While the average value per acre
in Iowa was 1871. And yet Iowa de-
votes thirty times the area to hay that
North Carolina does and the towns and
cities in North Carolina are largely sup
Piled with Western hay. The difference
in the yield of hay in North Carolina
and Iowa is not due to the land IN North
Carolina being richer than thar OF Iowa,
for it is not so rich. But It is due to
the greater rainfall and the longer sea
son, which permits the growing of more
crops on the same land. Hay sells in
North Carolina at higher price by far
than in Iowa, and if the farmers OF Iowa
can afford to grow millions of tons of hay
while North Carolina grows a hundred
Or two thousand tons. while the hay in
what it is in North Carolina, it is evi-
dent that the farmers in North Carolina
climate gives them. The average value
of the cotton crop in North Carolina is
not greater than the average value OF
the hay crop per acre. while the pro-
duction of the crops costs far more than
the production of hay. Then too, North
Carolina can produce immensely more of
boy
hence of a higher feeding vaue. Iowa
is one of the greatest stock feeding States
in the whoe country, while North Caro-
ina is one of the smallest in t his III
dustry, though she can produce more hay
and hay of Il higher feeding value than
Iowa For instance, We grew the past
season nearly two tons per acre of hay
from wheat and hairy vetch, and on the
same land later in the season had two
tons per acre OF COW pea hay, making four
tons of hay of a high protein content,
and higher feeding value than hay grown
in Iowa. We use North Carolina as an
example of the low production of hay
and have compared the State with one
with the highest production to show
that the South can grow hay to better
advantage than the West, for the sam,
North Carolina exist in the other cotton
states. 1t is also worthy of note that
the crops from which the hay of the
highest feeding value can be made are
the crops that will tend more to the
development of the productiveness of the
land in the staple crop of cotton, and
It is evident that the production OF cot
ton could be greatly increased per acre
by the growing and feeding OF legume
hay and he use OF the resulting manure.
With the markets of the South supplied
with Western beef and Western hay the
farmers go on making an average OF
about 0.3S of bale of cotton per acre,
VIXEN by the growing of legumc hay and
feeding it in good rotation of crops
it should be easy on auy good cotton
laind to make a bale to a bale and
half per acre.

The lion and unicorn are to be left to

may be taken as an indication that Boston
has surrendered entirely to the Honourables

BRYAN WRITES TO SHAW.

LINCOLN, Neb, Oct s,-Mr. Bryan prints
an open letter to Secretary Shaw in to-
morrows Commoner, arraigning Mr. Shaw
for declaring himself in favor Of the AID
rich bill Mr. Bryan takes the ground
that the measure is designed to permit
favored banks in Wall Street to unload
miscellaneous securities on the Govern
ment as surety for the deposit Of Govern
ment money.
He insists that the bill lays the foundation
for an enormous corruption fund, in that
TIE deposits will be worth millions to the
selected banks. and part of the money Is
certain to be used to keep in power the
political party that grants the favors.
Mr.. Bryan asserts that this is tremendous
power to place in the hands of an admins
tration to reward political friends and to
punish opponents by withholding money.
He says that If the Government cannot
reduce the surplus by lessenng taxes it
ought to invest its surplus in its own obiga-
tions.
