SUPPOSED CAPTURE
Will Harris the Noted Desper-
ado Thoughtto be in
Custody.

Governor Aycock received a telegram
late yesterday from Mr.. w. NJ. Russell, OF
Troy, saying that they had in custody
negro man supposed to be the
desperate Will Harris, who escaped from
the penitentiary here about a month ago
The telegram asked for a general descrip
ton of Harris. and the Governor imme-
diately wired this.
Harris was sent up from Mecklenburg
county for a term of thirty years and had
only served a small part of his sentence
When the people of Mecklenburg learned
of his escape they were very bitter in their
denunciation of the prison authorities.
No negro has given the officers in Meek
lenburg county more trouble than Will
Harris, and it is doubtful if any has
ever given the people of a community as
much anxiety. For the past three OF
four years numbers of fires in Mecklenburg
have been attributed to him and in add
ton he has been guilty of other crimes
the shooting of Squire John P. Hunter
being one of them.
At the May term of Mecklenburg Su.
perior court Harris was tried for burning
Squire John Graham Alexander's barn
and assaulting Jim Crockett, colored, with
a deadly weapon. He was promptly con
victed and sentenced to the penitentiary
to serve a sentence of thirty years.

FIVE MILITARY PRISONERS ESCAPE.
They Saw Through Heavy Steel Bars and Swim
Wide Moat.
(By the Associated Press.)

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 29.-By saving
through the heavy steel bars that kept
them from liberty, swimming a wide moat
and darting through Old Point Comfort
and Hampton, five long term military
prisoners who had been confined in the
water battery easements of Fortress Mon.
roe last night made their escape, and up
to this time have not been re-captured.
One of the men was in solitary confine-
ment, occupying a easement to himself
The other four were together in another
easement. They sawed their way out
then cut through the rollers on the heavy
iron door of the solitary easement, which
allowed the door to be pushed open far
enough for the man to squeeze through
The five then crawled through window
overlooking the moat, swan across the
stretch of water and escaped Their terms
ranged from three years up.

An Agricultural University.

What is now needed in this country as
the capstone of the great system of col
leges of agriculture, is great National
University of Agriculture, where the
graduates of the colleges, who intend to
devote their lives to the work of investi
CATION in any branch of soil culture or
the sciences connected Herewith can have
the opportunity to study their speciality
and be prepared to become the future in
vestgators at the State Experiment Sta
tons A university with broad acres for
the farm laboratory with abundant barns
and buildings for live stock of all kinds,
with scientific laboratories in chemistry
and biology, hospitals for animals and
general equipment for investigation along
all lines of human study connected with
the farm and garden A place where each
student can take up some special line OF
investigation and be guided in his studies
and from which the stations can at all
times draw for specialists Unfortunately
we have not, like Canada, any purely ag-
ricultural colleges, and those we have are
handicapped by the necessity of giving
almost primary education in all that
pertains to the farm while giving, too
general education. Few of the
young men thus educated are ready to
take independent places as investigators
in the Stations, and the Stations are
handicapped by the necessity for train
ing the men who come as assistants. A
great National post graduate school,
where the best training could be given,
and the men allowed to specialize, is Che
need of our agriculture today. When will
we have it?
