WILSON BACKS SILK GROWERS.
Agricultural Secretary Is Working
TO Encourage the Industry.


Washington, September 4.-(Special)-
Silk growers in this country and those
who are interested In promoting the silk
growing Industry are receiving great
deal of encouragement and substantial
assistance from the department OF agri-
culture. Every effort is being made to
stimulate the cultivation of the silk pro-
ducing cocoons. AT present but COM
paratively small amount of silk is pro-
duced in this country, but experts in
the department of agriculture are con-
fident that the conditions for silk culture
In various parts of the United States
are equal to those of China or Japan.
The manufacture of the finer grades
of silk goods in this country is steadily
increasing, and the official reports just
compiled by the department of commerce
and labor show that the imports of raw
silk in the fiscal year just ended were
the largest in the history of the govern
ment. For the year ending June 80, 1906
l., I'll $40 pounds OF manufactured silk
valued at s50.o11. $40. We're imported, as
compared with li.2 million pounds in 1902
and 104 millions in 1901. From this silk
our manufacturers will make finished
products valued at over SIC, 900, 600

tured silk imported practically one-half

d little over 100000 worth of raw silk.
Besides this, there was a little over
a million dollars worth of silk waste
imported which is used principally in
making spun silk" and is classed as
manufactured silk in the statistics of
imports. -
Many attempts have been made to pro-
duce raw silk in this country AS early
as 1923 mulberry trees were required
be planted by all settlers in Virginia.
and some silk was grown In the early
days OF the colony In the second quar-
ter of the last century the cultivation of
silk seemed to give promise of success
but the enterprise degenerated into d
speculation i'll Chinese mulberry trees
and ended in utter failure. The recent
experiments OF the department of agrl-
culture are again directing attention to
the practicablity of raising on our own
farms a share at least OF this material,
which forms so considerable a part of
our imports.
During recent years the importation
of raw silk has increased almost con-
tinuously, until in the fiscal year lust

nearest approach to this value was in
1900 when S45 600 worth was imported.

THOSE PENSION FRAUDS AGAIN
Negro Mitchell Is Bound Over for
SWindling

ThomasvilIe. Ga, September 1.-{Spe-
cial.)-S. p Mitchell. the negro who Is
charged with swindling eX-slaVes in this
county by promising them pensions under
the proposed Hanna bill, was tried today
before Justice Marshall and bound over
to the superior court under a 500 bond.
The sensational feature of the trial was
the speech of Judge S. A. Rodenbur
who represents the negro. He charged
that the republican party was behind this
prosecution and that in order to stop
MITCHELL some of the leaders had com"
municatcd with leading negroes of this
county and they had induced Mayor Gull
pepper to swear out the warrants. While
he was innocent of any design, it was
stated, the fact revealed that an unseen
hand was behind the movement; the re-
publicans were alarmed because this
movement was so far reaching. They saw
that the democrats were ready TO push
the pension bill and fearing the loss of
power among the negroes they had de-
cided to throttle Mitchell, the promoter
of the scheme.

Believe Vardaman's Election Will
Mean Slavery for Them.

Jackson. Miss, September 2-fSpecialj
The negroes of Mississippi, and especially
the ignorant class, have acquired many
ludicrous ideas as to The political mean
ing of the nomination of Major James r.
Vardaman to the office of governor.
An idea has gained considerable cur
rency among the ignorant blacks that
Major Vardaman not only intends to give
the negro as few schools as possible, put
also intends to put them back into slavery
again and that every white man VIII De
allowed to take his pick of two negroes
Immediately after the new governor is
installed into office.
The educated class of blacks and the
plantation managers and large employers
of labor are giving assurances to the ls-
norant negroes that the election OF Ma
jor Nardaman will mean no Arrangement
whatever of their civil rights, nor III any
way change their worldly status
AS the negro rarely moves unless
prompted by overt hostility, there is no
likelihood that the result of the election
will cause any momentous disturbance on
labor conditions in the state.
The indica tons are that the quantity Oh

end of the year and resume the practice
OF law. Judge j. II. Neville has already
resigned and his successor is to be named
within a few days. Within the past SIX
months Governor Longino has appointed
one supreme Judge, three chancellorS ana
three circuit Judges and this will defer
good portion of Major Vardaman's pat
ronage until toward the end of his term.
The bulk of the appointments TO he
made by the new governor will consist of
trustees for state colleges and state in

DEATH ENDS DETECTIVE PLAY.

New Albany, Ind September las a
result of his effort in the capacity of
amateur detective to run down OH
raiser Charles Marshall. of Rego, Orange
county, Ind, was so badly beaten by his
prospective prisoner that he will die.
Marshall is a young country man. who
shortly after joining an amateur detec-
tive association, received a letter from u
man in Chicago Offering to sell $500 in
genuine currency for 500. The letter
was so worded as to give the idea that
the bills were raised.
Marshall opened correspondence, and
arranged to meet the man, who gave his
name as Hite, in a secluded spot near
Now Albany. The amateur detective
borrowed 500 and when the negotiations
with Hite reached the point where the
moneys were to be exchanged he told
Hite he was under arrest Hite knocked
Marshall down with large stone and
proceeded to batter his victims head into
a pulp When Marshall was found hor-
rbly beaten several hours later the S2t0
he had taken to the spot was gone.

clare there is no chance for bis recovery.
