PORT.
Especial to the ARGUs.)

Washington, D. c., Sept. 20.
With generally seasonable tenn
perature and practically no rain over
nearly the entire cotton belt. Cotton
has opened rapidly and picking has
been actively carried on, large part
of the crop having already been
gathered.
Cool nights and the very general
prevalence of drought in the central
and western districts have been detri-
mental and rust and shedding con-
tinues to be extensively reported, al
though rust is somewhat less preva-
lent in Georgia, and On the whole,
especially in central and western por-
tions of the belt.
Little or no top crop is promised.
In Texas, the plant almost entirely
ceased fruiting and in some central
counties is dying.
In North Carolina the conditions
have favored the maturity of late
cotton, and in South Carolina prema-
ture opening has been checked.
The weather map of September 20
shows that good showers fell over
large part of drought region of Texas
and in Oklahoma during the past
twenty four hours.

North Carolina has given her life
blood most freely to the building up
of other States. To-day 1885, ma
tive born North Carolians reside in
other Commonwealths. She has con-
tributed to American citizenship the
best that the notion has to show. In
the colonial period her people stood
boldly for liberty, self-government,
freedom from excessive taxation and
official tyrany. In adopting the Con-
stitution she stood for all the amend
ments which were afterwards ac-
opted and which now form the con-
stitutional basis of our liberties.
It was her sons, Andrew Jackson
and Thomas III. Benton, who wiped
out all traditions and tendencies of
monarchy and aristocracy, and plant
ed deep in American soil the tree of
Democracy.
} It was her son, James K. Polk,
who annexed Texas and extended
the American Republic from the At
lantic TO the Pacific
It was her son, William A. Gra-
ham, who opened the doors ofJapan
to civilization, and thus made a be-
ginning OF final settlement Of the
Asiatic question.
1t was her son, Andrew johnson,
who had the North Carolina grit to
jeopardize his great Office, by op-
posing the coercive measures of Re-
construction directed against an in
tegral part of the Union.
It was her son, Richard J. Gatling,
lwho promoted peace by inventing
the death-dealing Gatling gun.
! Her sons have done great deeds,
and thought great thoughts where
ever they have gone. No statesmen
have surpassed them in integrity,
purity, and patriotism. No soldiers
have equalled them in steadfastness,
endurance, and forttitude. They
were born North Carolinians and
trained in North Carolina virtues.
They loved the family freside and
all that the family freside means.
They still love it, and, though they
dwell now in cities or on plains,
they long to go to the State of their
birth, and see again the people who
live as they lived in their youth; to
see again the Old North State, where
people do not grow old before their
time; where youth is. buoyant and
yiriIe; manhood is strong and sturdy,
and old age is full of dignity, honor
and self-respect.

SMOKED OUT IND SHOT,.
Nee Orleans Negro Defed Police
for Hours.

New-Orleans Feb. 20.-After holding half
hundred policemen at bay for several hours
Lafayette Sims, a negro, was killed by the po-
lice this morning in a negro boarding mouse III
South Rampart-st. The room in which he was
besieged had to be set fire and the Fire De-
partment called out before Sims could be driven
from his post. AS he attempted to escape, still
carrying his gun, he shot down The body
was taken to the morgue without any demon
stration from mob of several thousand negroes
who had watched the fight.
The origin of the trouble was trivial. Sims
lived in the boarding house, occupying a room
in which there were seven beds On retiring
last night he locked the door, and when the
landlord this morning asked him to open it so
that another lodger might be admitted, Sims
refused. Then the landlord sent for the police.
Efforts to persuade Sims to open the door failed,
and a hole was smashed in IT, Through the
aperture Sims began shooting. One bullet
knocked a pistol from the hand of Policeman
Winston, and a second shattered the lantern
which the officer carried. Thereupon additional
police were sent for and the house was sur
rounded.
Sims piled furniture against the door and pre-
pared to fight for his life. The police turned in
a fire alarm and when the engines arrived threw
into the room blazing balls Of cotton. which had
been powdered with sulphur and soaked in oil.
The negro hung desperately to his retreat, firing
frequently through the hole in the door, until ne
was nearly suffocated, and then made a break
to escape. AS he appeared at the door Police
man Frederick Smith fired at him The negro
staggered, mortally wounded. Instantly other
policemen fired him, and he fell dead.
The fremen extinguished the flames and the
body was dragged out and taken through a lane
of excited negroes t. the morgue EXamlna-
ton of the showed that Sims had got pos
session of Winstein's revolver after shooting II
from his hands.
