1t will be observed that the only i'm
portant differences are In Texas, Indian
Territory. Louisiana and Georgia. AS TO
the two latter, it is evident my impress
sions were too pessimistic, whilst In re
gard to Texas and Indian Territory they
were the reverse I would say. however.
in regard to the latter. that over 100, 900
bales of Texas cotton were received dur
ing August, 1902. which Mr. Hester
counted in the previous crop, whilst
large amount of cotton-prObably 200 900
bales--was destroyed by the unusual rains
and storms Of last winter.
l wrote in regard to my observation Of
last years crop in Texas, II think the
general reports of insect ravages when
have come to hand are not a bit exag-
gerated This applies particularly to
Texas, where the destruction wrought BY
both boil weevil and boil worm has been
so great 1t would be hard to say which
pest has done the most harm. From
Houston to as far southwest as YoakuIn
and thence north to Waco, | examined
closely about forty fields In eleven diff
ferent places. In every field | found the
weevil and the effects OF its devastating
work. In some fields not q single boil or
bloom that l could find had escaped. In
others go per cent We're Stung, in
others less until ut Waco the damage was
perhaps not over 30 per cent. From Wa
60 north the damage done by the boil
worm became "surkingly apparent
From the news now coming to hand
every word Of the above applies with
equal truth to this growing crop, and in
my belief another disappointing crop III
Texas is probable.
In regard to the size of the crop in the
other states. 1t is too soon TO offer Il def
mite opinion. This much. however, can De
said for the benefit Of those who count on
similar results 10 1893 and 1899: The
month OF October 1898, was the hottest
October on record, and this is later
crop than that one. A cold October now
would be a disaster. 1t looks as If a crop
Of 100000 should have small terrOrs
for the bull at present prices of winner
months and a remarkably good yield viii
be required in the states east OF the Mis-
sissippi to produce such II crop this year.
The heavy rainfall, however, during the
past few days in the Atlantic states ana
Alabama means great possibilities for
their crops, with October weather as in
1893.

Among the contents Of the buildings
were o mule, one bale of cotton, q lot
of fodder and two wagons, all of which
wero burned. The loss will aggregate

DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH
Cure Catarrh BY Natures Own
Method-Every Breath of
Hyomef Brings Relief.

Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish 1t is to try and
cure it by drugging the stomach.
Temporary relief may be given, but
a cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician
would have said the only way to cure
catarrh would be to have a change
of climate; bat now with Hyomei
you can carry health giving climate
in your vest pocket and by breath
ing it a few minutes four times day
soon cure yourself.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81 90 and consists Of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pock-
ct, a medicine dRDpper and a bottle
OF Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a life
time, and if one bottle does not cure,
an. extra bottle Of Hy0mei can be OBJ
tanned for 80 cents. It is the most
economical of all remedies advertised
for the cure Of eataxrh, and is the
only one that follows nature in her
method of treating diseases of the
respiratory organs.
J. II. Hill & Son have sold great
many Hyomef outfits and the more
they sell, the more convinced they
are that they are perfectly safe in
Communicating ft1 refund the money il
Hyomei does not cure.

COTTON OVERCOATS.
Boston Transcript.

The telegraph1c announcement the
present week that well known New
England Woolen mills are about to
extend the use of mercerized cotton in
prise to those who have followed the
trend of affairs in wool and worsted
manufacture Of late years. The use
of combed and carded cotton yarns
that have been treated with caustic
soda, which is the basic principle in
mercerizing, or lusterIng, to take the
place of the silk stripes in fancy
goods as we'll rs substitute for
worsted in making the entire fabric,
has grown apace the past two years,
and is evidently meeting want that
has been unsupplied heretofore.
Mention was made in these columns
some years ago of consignment of
Clay worsteds that were sent here by
the Bradford manufacturers in which
there was no particle of wool, warp
and filling alike consisting Of long
staple cotton, 50 manipulated in the
weaving and finishing as 10 deceive
even the expert buyers.
Large numbers of lightweight
evercoats were said to have been
made from the material, and found a
ready sale in this and other markets.
The domestic manufacturers are do
ing now what the English makers
did then, but are extending their
field into the lighter weight goods
for mems wear. The coming fall
and winter will witness a larger out
put than ever OF these cotton fabric
designs for the clothing trade.

THE CLIMAX OF THE POST
OFFICE INVESTIGA-
TION IS NEAR.
Beaver is Indicted-Anoth Indicti-
ment Against Machen-Who is
the Mysterious High Per-
sonage Whose Case
is Now Before
the Jury?

Washington, Sept. 9.-One of the
persons indicted yesterday by the
Federal grand jury in connection
with the postal Investigation is Geo.
w. Beavers, formerly chief of the
Division of Salary and Allowance.
It is understood that the charge is
conspiracy.
While the officials refuse to dis
close the names of the four remain
ing persons who were indicted yes
terday, it is said that none Of them
is or has been connected with the
Postofhce Department and that one
is man Of some prominence.
1t was stated at the City Hall to-
day that the climax Of the investi-
cation is to come shortly when a
person not connected with the de-
partment but equally as well known
as the Postmaster himself, undoubt-
edly would be indicted for conspir-
acy in the postohice frauds. The
grand jury began hearing the evil
dence in this particular case to-day,
and it is said when a report is made
it will in all probability conclude
the investigation in Washington.

CHANCES Of SEN. GORMAN.
IMPRESSION OF SEN. CLAY.
VICTORY IS WHAT WE
ARE AFTER.
Says the Maryland Senator is Gain
ing Friends Everywhere-Not
a Question, However, of
the Man, But of
Results.

"Senator German is making a
stronger impression on the people of
Georgia every day, and think he is
gaining friends and supporters every
where" said Senator Clay, of that
State, to a newspaper reporter in
Washington Saturday. "But the
main question is: Who is the man
to nominate through whose candi-
dacy we can win? Can German
carry the country? If he can, let us
nominate Parker or some other man
i'm whom we have confidence of vic
tory. In word, according to the
feeling in Georgia, it is not ques-
ton of persons. We want the best
man, irrespective of personal feeling.
"The main point to be attained,"
continued Senator clay, lis to nomi-
nate man who can command the
conservative and the business ele-
ment of the country. Can German
command that strength? His friends
claim that he can, and am inclined
to agree with them. OF course in or
der to win, he must carry the States
of New York, Indiana, New Jersey
and Connecticut.
"Now, if Mr.. German can carry
those States we must nominate him.
There is nothing left but that choice.
If it is believed that we cannot reach
that accomplishment, then we cam
not afford to nominal him. We must
observe the question of political ex-
pediency and throw aside all consid-
eratiOns of personal choice. The
South will vote solidly for any good
Democrat, and is willing that a
man shall be chosen from the East:
the West or and other section, so long
as he can go forth and reach the
goal. Results are what we are after,
and personal pride should cut no fig
ure.
"GOrman is strong man. No one
doubts that fact. Georgia Democrats
have great faith in him. They be-
lieve that if elected he would make
great President. If, at convention
time, the conditions are such as to
point to victory with him at the
head of the ticket, our delegation
will support him. I volunteer the
assertion, however, that should cir
cumstances indicate that some other
man should be nominated even
though his name hass not been men,
toned at this day, the Georgia dele
cation will vote for the man and for
no one else. repeat that it is not a
question of the man, but one of re-
suits. We want to take the merits
of the case under consideration and
name the best man. Victory is what
we are after, and L think a great
Democratic victory is in sight. Cor
man ought to be able to secure that
victory"

GOLDsBORO. N. G. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER IL 100


er. Nothing is known Of what pass
ed between Mr.. Simmons and the
trespasser upon his game forests. The
single shot was all that was heard.
The stories sent out that he was shot
three times and afterwards dubbed
on the head are untrue.
There was a smouldering volcano
Of wrath In the large crowd standing
about the Simnons homestead to-
day. AS the coroner's inquest pro-
ceeded and witness after witness was
examined, the belief grew stronger
in the minds of the by-standers as to
the guilt of the man in custody, and
not few such subdued exclamation
as "a rope and a limb is in order
next" were heard. And there were
remarks of this kind from men who
had every appearance of possessing
the nerve to lead in such an under
taking. There were also men there
who discouraged hasty action and
urged their neighbors to let the law
take its course.
Standing in the shadow of the old
homestead, the house where he was
born just fifty years ago, struggling
beneath the weight of the cruel
burden so suddenly laid upon him
and in sight of newly-made grave,
Senator Simmons to-day proved
himself every inch law-abiding
man. With the fullest sense of the
cruel outrage in his mind and with
tears in his eyes, he saw the subdued
storm of indignant wrath brewing
among his dead fathers devoted
neighbors and went out among them
taking them by the hand and calling
them by familiar names, plead with
them not to allow any violence done
to the prisoner. At his personal So
licitation the chairman of the board
of county commissioners issued an
order to the sheriff to remove the
prisoner to Craven county Jail for
safe keeping and protection.
The remains of the deceased were
inferred in the family burying
ground near the house, this afternoon
at 2 O'Clock. The funeral services
were conducted in the home by Rev.
w. III. Rich, pastor of the First Bap-
tist church Of New Bern. A large
eoncourse of friends were present
from all parts of Jones and adjoining
counties to pay the last tribute Of re-
spect to departed friend.
Mrs. F. M. Simmons, Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. A. Mailer and Miss Eliza Sim
mons, of Raleigh, went to attend the
funeral, and the ladies will remain a
few days before returning to Raleigh.
Mr.. Mailer returned home to-day.
New Bern, n. c., Sept. 14.-The
coroner's jury in the case of F. q.
Simmons who was murdered on Sat-
urday in Jones county, reached a
verdict at $3.50 o'clock tonight. The
verdict was that Mr.. Simmons came
to his death from wounds inflicted
by parties unknown. Circumstan-
tial evidence points to Alfred Dan
iels, a negro, who is now confined in
iail
