pacity of the buildings and it is expected
that when the year closes it will be
found that 600 students have been en-
rolled.
President Winston says that he finds
there is a great improvement in the
scholarship and preparation of the men
coming in this year. The place sending
the largest number of students, he says,
is Winston-Salem, and there are to take
electrical and mechanical engineering and
textile work. There is also, he states, a
large increase in the number of agricul-
tural students, there being the sons of
farmers and planters who desire their
boys to have the opportunity to become
fully acquainted with the best to be had
in farming education.
Thus far two young ladies have applied
for admission. One of these desires a
course in architecture and the other
course in industrial chemistry and
botany.

of cotton at all United States ports for
the year 7,724,104 against 1878, 290 last
year; overland to Northern mills and
Canada 1,0S3,3S3, against 1,103, 953
Southern consumption taken direct from
the interior Of the cotton belt 1920, 072,
against 1897 ,437, making the cotton crop
of the United States for 1902-O3 amount
to 10,727,559 bales, against 1860. $50 last

Colonel Hester has made his usual inves-
tigation into the consumption of the
South and has received reports by mail
and telegraph from every mill consuming
cotton in the cotton growing States, in
Guiding wooden mills that have used cot
ton, and the results show total of
1000, 729, but of this S0,657 were taken for
the ports and included in port receipts.
This shows that the mills of the South

ing 1901-02 and 379, 79S more than during
1900-1901 most remarkable showing in

OURS A GREAT PEOPLE,
State Superintendent JOyner Talks Of His Trip
in the West.

State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton ]. Y. Joyner who has been absent for
some time in Western North Carolina is
back in his office. In reply to the in
quries made by reporter about his trip
he said:
Il have just returned from a ten days
campaign in Allegheny, Ashe and Macon
counties, and / made six educational
speeches IN these three counties. The
educational outlook in these counties is
hopeful.
1.-THE best evidence of the interest of
the people in the public schools was the
large audiences, notwithstanding the peo-
pie were in the midst of their hay gather
ing in Ashe and Alleghanyl counties. At
Franklin and Jefferson there were un-
usually large and interested audiences.
The Boards of Education and County Su-
perintendents, with whom l had confer
ences, seem active and enthusiastic and
hopeful about the work. In all of these
counties sentiment for reasonable consoli-
dation, for improvement of school houses
and for local taxation is growing. l look
for several tax districts to be established
in each of these counties in the near
future.
'fThis is q beautiful country. While
you Raleigh people were sweltering in
heat last week 1 was wearing thick
clothes to keep warm every morning and
afternoon. Ashe and Allegheny are the
finest sections for grass and cattle raising
that have ever seen. My reception
everywhere was most cordial. l know
that we have the best people in the
world and that they can beat the world
in hospitality.

An Illinois Mob Made Intellectual Efforts to
Lynch Negro.
(Ry the Associated Press

Shawneetown, Ills, Sept. IA mob Of
fifty masked men went to the Jail here
early this morning and demanded that
Jailer Galloway turn over to them John
Griffin, colored, who was under arrest for
an attempted assault on Mrs. Joseph
Hobbs, a white woman. near her own
home. Griffin had been frightened away
by the woman's screams and had been
arrested short while afterwards
When the mob demanded that Jaller
Galloway turn the negro over to them
Galloway armed himself, and after reason
ing with the men from the jail door he
warned them that an effort to force the
jail would be at their own peril. The
mob in spite of the jailer's words, made
several Intellectual attempts to break
down the Jail door, finally dispensing
about daylight.
Many of the colored people are taking
sides with Griffin, though some of them
have, in fear of race riot, left the town.
No trouble has followed the visit of the
mob to the Jail this morning, but prepare
tions are being made to take the negro
to Carmi for safe-keeping.
