AN ALLEGED FIREBUG.
"curIey" Vivian Arrested on Charge
Of Attempted Arson.

OF Attempted Arson.
R. D. Vivian, better known as Cur
ley" is having preliminary hearing
this afternoon before Judge Mann on
the charge of attempted arson.
The accused was arrested yesterday
by Officers Mowre and Baker on in
formation received that he was the
man who set fire to the Garden the
atre, one night earlier in the week.
Vivian had been employed in the place
as waiter, but was discharged and
shortly afterward the attempt to burn
the house was made.
When the fire was discovered it was
burning fiercely in the back part of
the room and it was found that the
woodwork and stage had been saturat-
ed with coal oil.
One of the witnesses for the prosecu-
ton is the man who gave the police
men the information that led to vi
VANS arrest. He claims that the
accused sought to induce him into
giving his assistance in doing the
lob"
In addition the state has several
other witnesses.

tunate owner OF land that is affected
by the increase. He does not consider
that he is exorbitantly assessed. On
the contrary, he is well satisfied and
it is needless to say that he would not
sell for double the amount that he
is taxed. The same holds good with
the remaining two members of the
board.
Whether the bonds had been issued
or not the raise would have been
made in any event.
Compared to Other Property.
Compared with the valuations that
have been placed upon personal prop
erty and city realty the new value
given farming lands is still considered
as extremely low. Sheep are assessed
at $3.50 head, which in comparison
with the assessment of which some
farmers are complaining must be re-
garded as very high. If compelled to
sell, it is exceedingly doubtful whether
lnduy vi LuO uOChuldoIClo VI JAO CVuA-
ty could obtain that price for their
sheep. On the other hand, in the
opinion of those who are competent
to judge, there is not farm in the
county that under forced sale would
not realize far in excess of the value
given it on the tax roll.
While farm lands have not been
raised, city property has been repeat
edly advanced during the years that
agricultural holdings have been al
lowed to remain at the -lgures placed
upon them decade ago. Having
grown accustomed to paying taxes on
what may be termed an infinitesimal
part of the actual value of their hald-
ings, some farmers of the kind that
made complaint to The Gazette seem
ingly now to consider themselves as
unjustly treated because slight in
crease has been made, and accuse the
commissioners OF practicing deceit.

The executive committee OF the
board OF state fair commissioners has
appealed to the state superintendent
of public instruction to take. up the
matter with the different county SUI
perintendents and teachers and to do
all in their power in the direction
of an exhibit of the nature referred
to- 1t is confidently believed that a
very creditable and comprehensive
display can be made without much
effort. To that end letters have been
sent by the state superintendent to
the county superintendent urging
upon them as full an attendance as
possible upon the convention
It is believed that arrangements can
be made for the offering of premiums
to be given to especially high class
! work by teachers and pupils making
exhibits. If this can be done it will
stimulate all interested into doing
their best and an exhibit will be gath
cred that will reflect credit upon the

BIG CROP PROMISED THROUGH
OUT THE STATE.
WILD HAY WILL Be SHORT J!
Range Green in Many Places and
Feed -MissouIa coun-
ty Has Frost.

In his crop report for the week end
ing July 20, Section Director M. w.
Hayes shows that the crops in the
state are progressing favorably. About
the only drawback to be noted is the
light yield Of hay. He says:
ION the 10th and 17th moderate to
heavy rains fell over the southern
tier of counties from Yellowstone west
ward, and interfered with the harvest
ing of forage crops; in the remainder
of the state light and local showers
fell at various times during the week.
AS rule the days were warm, but the
nights were very cool and brought
the mean temperature for the week
below the seasonal average.
Wheat and oats are heading; at
scattered points these crops are not
considered in good condition, but upon
the whole they will give fair to good
yields.
THE harvesting of the tlrst crop OF
alfalfa is we'll advanced; in some cOun-
ties it is practically over and the Sec
ond crop is nearly ready to be cut;
most correspondents report good
yields. Haying is also progressing,
but the returns are below the average.
except in a few scattered localities,
where favorable temperature and pre-
cipitation conditions prevailed during
the early spring. Timothy is very
backward. The range is green and
is furnishing good pasturage, but the
grass is rather short in growth.
Corn has made very fair progress,
but is still late. Potatoes in Rosebud
| county have been damaged by bugs.
and on the bench and bottom lands
around Baird (Missoula county,
light frost on the morning of the 14th
hurt them to limited extent; with
these exceptions the crop is very good
| and is being put on the market. To
the west of the main range prospects
for fruits especially apples-are very
encouraging.
Reports Of Correspondents.
From about every county report is
made of timely rains that while in
some instances interfering somewhat
with the harvesting OF alfalfa, proved
OF immense value to the range and
lands from which wild hay is gathered.
Yellowstone county's report is as
| follows:
"A good growing week and all farm
crops are making good showing:
timothy is being cut and the second
crop OF alfalfa is nearly ready; shear
ing finished At Park City fore part
OF week was warm and dry; hay stack
ing is progressing rapidly; timothy
ready to cut; wheat and early sown
oats heading; potatoes look we'll; a
soaking rain fell last of week; range
very poor on account OF grasshOp-
pers''
Carbon county reports the cOntin-
ued presence of grasshoppers and
their menace to the range. The cheer
full statement is added that many OF
the pests are dying off, being affected
by small worms.
Fergus is another county that re-
ports grasshoppers. They are doing
considerable damage to the range.
Custer has but little complaint to
make save that more rain is needed to
insure good crop Oh wild hay. The
range is said to be in good condition.

Our National Shame.

It cannot be denied that of late the soberest-
minded men among us have been filed with a So
licitude amounting to anxiety in noting the
momentum of certain dangerous tendencies in
American life. The trend toward mob law in vari-
Gus sections of the country; the increased violence
of the aggressions upon the right of workingmen
to labor unmolested; the revelations of public
and private corruptions, and especially of the buy
ing and selling of legislation and franchises; the
growth of the gambling mania among women as
well as men; the vulgar rush for social promi-
nence; the widespread system of graft" and
blackmail which has grown in all classes in the
haste to be rich-these familiar phenomena are
crowding upon our attention, straining our optim-
ism and shaming our national pride at the very
time when we are called upon to exult in the com
mercial greatness of the country and it's peculiar
qualifications for redeeming the benighted regions
of the world.-From an editorial in the October
Century.

The Fertilizer Craze.

The Country Gentleman in a reply to a North
Carolina inquirer in regard to corn and fertilizers
needed for it in North Carolina, says that in look
ing over the census reports it is struck with the
fact that the leading agricultural States in the
South pay out vast sums for commercial fertil-
izers, while none of them find rank near the head
when total value of crops is considered. The edi-
tor remarks that it would seem evident that too
little attention is paid to maintaining and increas-
ing the productivity of the soil by barnyard ma
nure, cover and green manure crops, and that the
beneficial effects of humus are not fully realized.
According to these census figures the States of
Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Vir-
ginia, spent over $18, 600, 900 for fertilizers, and
since the census figures we're taken there is no
doubt that the amount spent in this way In these
States has run up to $25, O00, 900 in a single sea-
son. And yet there are States north of these,
where nowhere near this amount of money IS
snent for fertilizers, but which show larger aver
age crops and greater total value of crops. The
Country Gentleman is right in sayin" that there
is too little attention paid to the keeping up and
increasing the productivity of the land. The great
fault in Southern agriculture is the one-crop sys-
tenn and the dependence on commercial fertilizers
to make the crop. Instead of systematic farming
the Southern farmers have gotten into the habit
of gambling on the chances of a crop through the

Rural School Libraries.
D. [. GORE.

There IS no more important question relating to
education, and, indeed, the future greatness of
the State, than that of rural libraries. We who
were brought up" in the country can appreciate
the JOY of having all the books one wants to read.
Long years ago we used to walk miles and miles
to borrow a dilapidated "Robinson Crusoe" or
"Gulliver's Travels" and in our hearts there was
ever some regret that we could not have the works
our souls craved. We led a narrow life, we coun-
try boys and girls. We didn't know much about
railroads and theatres. We longer INCREASINGLY
for knowledge of the world that lay beyond our
fathers farms. We dreamed of the day when we
should be twenty-one-a man and free-and how
we should kiss the mother goodbye and walk
briskly down the lane, out of the white road, past
the orchard and hay meadow-an on to the city.
But it seemed like the age of a patriarch from
fifteen to twenty-one, and we wanted to know
THEN-we wanted to know all about Walter
Scott and his days of chivalry. The few pages we
had found of Fenimore Cooper's fired our heart
and soul with desire to know more about the world
as it had been and as it is.
Well, some of us grew up and saw the scenes
we longed to see, and lived in the joy of a dream
come true, but we never forgot the country boy
and the longing of his heart.
These rural libraries will mean new and higher
life in every home into which their influence en-
tiers. They will broaden the soul plunged too low
by isolation and penury. They will write their
legend plain upon the brows of those who seek
them. They will educate a boy or girls heart as
no school can ever do.
For the honor and glory of the State and the
coming race, let no one lift a hand to oppose
rural Ebraries.-Greenville Reflector.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-09-29
nBr pPEsENT STATUS OF THE RURAL
SCHOOL LIBRARY MOVEMENT.

o,naction with our article on rural school
,,-;o. nrinted last week and the eloquent APP
-" ~ of the Greenville Reflector reprinted in an
P -, column of this number, we think it quite
I'll while to give an exact statement of the
nrooress of the movement up to this time. Five
S9.ond dollars, it will be remembered, was ap-
a.io+ed by the General Assembly of 1901 to aid
soo Tbraries, not more than six in any one county.
Trudor this act six State-aided libraries have been
established in every county in the State except
,Loso named herewith; four of these (Alexander,
Cor+pret, Clay and Jones) have no libraries at all,
and the others have less than six:
Alexander none, Ashe 1, Bladen 1, Bruins
uidL !. Burke 9, Camden 1, Carteret nono,
CasweIl 4, Cherokee 4, Clay none; Columbus 5,
Cnrrituck 3, Dare 3, Davie 4, CASTOR 3, Graham 2,
Halifax 5, Harnett 5, Haywood 4, Hartford 1,
HYDE ). Jones none, Macon 3, Martin /, Mcdowell
none, Pamlico 3, Fender 1, Polk 2, Swain 2,
PENNSYLVANIA 8, Tyrrell 1, Watauga 4, Yadkin 5.
The Legislature of 1908 appropriated another
$4,000 to aid six more libraries in each county I'M
I'll the appropriation be exhausted. Superinten-
dent Joyner has continued to draw on the 1901
appropriation for those counties which have not
reached their legal quota, but s~ixty-six a~ppIica-
tons from counties which had reached this limit
have now been acted on, as follows:
Beaufort ,, Buncombe 3, Edgecombe 4, Forsyth
6. Granville 2, Greene 2, Ireden 6, jackson 6,
Lincoln l, Madison 1, Mecklenburg 6, Mitchell 9,
Moore l, New Hanover 3, Person 1, Randolph 6,
Rowan l, Sampson 8, Vance 1, Wayne 6, Wilkes 3.
It Will be seen, therefore, that 487 of a possible
SEQ libraries have been aided under the 1901 APP
priation, and sc of a possible 500 under the 1903
appropriation. Only $3.50 of the first $4,000 is still
available-enough to aid thirteen more Libraries in
the several counties named in our first list; while
$+530 of the second $4,000 is available-enough
to put 434 libraries in the several counties, except
the five named in our second list Forsyth, Iredell,
Jackson, Mecklenburg and Wayne) as having
reached the legal limit, six. Any school in any
county, except these five, can now get a library
by raising $40 or more by private subscription,
setting apart $40 of its school fund, and applying
Tor the $40 provided by the State appropriation.
Moreover, the Legislature of this year set apart
@'0OO to be used in buying new books for schools
already having libraries-$5 to be given by the
State, S. by individuals, and S. from the district
school fund. So far only seven schools have
awaited themselves of this offer.
superintendent Joyner looks for a great in
crease IN number of applications, both for new
nOrares and for supplementary libraries, soon as
the public schools open this fall.
