Negroes Moving North.

A Spartanburg dispatch says that the
exodus OF negroes to the North, which
has been In progress for several years, is
showing very marked increase this
summer. One morning last week three
carloads of negroes passed through on
No. 30 going North. The negroes had
been picked up at points south of here
and were going North as laborers. In
tho country this summer much com
plant is being made by the farmers on
account Of the lack of colored labor,
which, in some cases, is so scarce that
the farmers have to do their own work
with the aid of their families, women, in
many instances, going into the fields to
labor. 1t hard for the country people
in many sections to secure house servants
as the negro women seem unwilling to
do this kind of work. The situation in
many places is, as a matter of fact, a
grave one, which the farmers arc now
facing.

Corn Valuable as Fuel

Substitutes for coal have for many
years commanded attention and espe-
cially so during the eight or nine
months In the United States when coal
prices were at abnormal figures as a
result Of the anthracite miners strike.
Peat and briQuetted sawdust, wood,
oil and many other substances have
been under consideration, and among
them also corn, this last particularly
having been spoken of as something
quite new, though, as matter of fact,
corn has for long time been used
as fuel in the farming districts of the
western sections of the United States,
and that, too, with very satisfactory
results.
In general way, 1t was recognized
there that when corn was abundant
and cheap and coal was expensive, the
former made a cheaper fuel than the
latter, although no scientific determin-
alton Of their relative efficiency had
been made until a short time ago.
when tests were made by the depart
ment Of agriculture of the University
of Nebraska, says Casters Magazine.
These showed, among other things,
that of corn, which, If burned, will
yield from 22,512,000 to 45,024.0O0
units, not counting the heat that could
be obtained from the stalk. Since a
ton of good coal will give up from
about 10000. 900 to $4,000 900 units, an

Trial Trip Of the Cleveland,

Portland, Me.-The cruiser Cleve-

designed for service In tropical wa.
ters, made her official trial run re.
Gently on the Cape Ann course, with a
four hour run against the navy de.
partment's requirement that she devel-
op a speed Of 1876 knots under service
conditions. The ship suffered one &C.
cident, break in an air pump at.
tached to the port engine, which de.
layed her by more than a minute. and
was obliged to deviate from the course
through the carelessness of three
mastei schooner, which ran across her
bows during the best part Of the trip.
In spite Of that, however, she logged
an average of 16.42 knots for the four
hours, while during the best part Of
the test she made 1865 knots, the
maximum for the trip. These figures
do not include the tidal corrections.
which will undoubtedly be in favor OF
the ship.

acre of ground is each year capable
Of producing fuel which is equal to
O.S7 or 1928 to LIZA or 2.56 TONS Of coal.
The stalk will probably increase this
amount by one-fourth or one-third.
The experience gained from boiler
tests with corn fuel made 1t appear
doubtful whether corn would be q
practicable fuel for the generation OF
power, unless it were burned in some
special furnace that would insure the
perfect combustion of the volatile mat
ter which forms SO large percentage
of the whole corn, and which is driven
of at comparatively low heat. Some
form of automatic stoker would also
be desirable, since the corn burns rap,
idly and must be frequently fired,
making the work Of the 6remen very
arduous, and at the same time tending
to cause incomplete combustion by the
excess of cold air entering through
the fire door. Undoubtedly corn may.
at times, be cheap and economical
fuel for domestic use. It Is cleaner and
more easily handled than coal and con.
tains but a very small amount of ash.
1t burns rapidly with an intense heat.
and this is apt to be destructive to the
castiron Innings Of the stove. Here,
again, therefore, some special form OF
fre-box that will not be injured by
the heat, and that will utilize az much
of the heat as possible. should be used.
