Mr.. Banker appears to be about
right. No other county around US
seems to be so we'll favored from
the standpoint of favorable corn
conditions. In all of the counties
east of here the corn crop is from
one to two weeks behind, and con-
ditions not much better, if any, pre-
vail in the counties west OF us. In
other words Redwood county seems
to be the heart of the section for
raising corn.
Six or seven miles west of the
city there is streak of very poor
corn, caused by the fact that hail
passed over the section several
weeks ago, stripping the leaves
from the stalks and practically put
ting stop to the growth of the
ears. This stripsis comparatively
small one, however.

Largest Crop in its History
This Yeor,

There is no longer any doubt but
what Redwood county is now en-
gagged in harvesting the largest
corn crop in it's history. Estimates
made by conservative farmers and
by people who have passed through
the corn fields place the yield at
from so to 60 bushels per acre.
The claim that the cold weather
and the very light frosts of last
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
injured the Redwood county crop
is not substantiated bya trip made
through the corn fields west and
south of here last Saturday.

while all the fields were fast pass

and all of them contained stalks
on which there were ears thorough

DEATH OF JAMES PETERS.

James Peters passed away at his
home in Watson's addition about
eleven o'clock last Thursday eve
ming. Mr.. Peters has long been
affected with weak ness of the heart,
and while in bed that night the
heart suddenly ceased to act and
Mr.. Peters passed away almost
instantly. The funeral occurred
from the residence Saturday after
noon, the Rey. G.. W. Lutz, pastor
of the M. E. church, officiating, and
the interment occurred in the Red
wood cemetery. Mr.. Peters was
about Sc years old at the time of his
death, and he leaves a wife and
seven grown up children. He acted
as engineer on threshing machine
engines, and also for A. c. Bur-
meister, during the time that he
could work, but of late, owing to
the weakness of the heart, he had
been obliged to cease work entirely.
He was a pleasant gentleman to
meet and had many friends in this
city and surrounding country who
will regret to hear of his demise.

ROOSEVELT RESPONSIBLE.
Wilmington Messenger.

The incorporate speeches and the
threats made by a negro lawyer of
Richmond, Va, show to what pitch
the President has raised the negroes
by his recent conduct The meeting
was presided over by "a Federal negro
official who holds his position subject
to the will of the President. VIII
the President keep him in office? He
belongs to the Roosevelt faction of
the Republican party. This negro
Hayes in his boastings OF what the
negroes will do in case of future con-
fict with the whites shows that he
has about as little sense as the Pres
ident when it comes to handling the
negro question, and his language is
calculated to do great harm, if not
to actually produce clashes between
the two races. His boast OF what
the negroes of the present generation
would do in case of such conflict
seems very idle when we carry our
memories back only four years to
the race conflict in this city. We
make no boast, but through friend
ship to Hayes race, warn him and
those of his incendiary class, whether
white or black, that should they
bring On another race conflict the
one of November, 1898, will be as
child's play in results compared
with it.

NEITHER ASTONISHMENT NOR
ALARM
Caused by the Intemperate Harangae
of the Negro Lawyer Hayes.

Commenting on the speech OF the
negro lawyer James H. Hayes, the
Washington Post editorially says:
The Incorporate harangue OF the
negro lawyer Hayes will cause Meth
| or astonishment nor alarm. Rich
mOnd is quite able to take care OF
any sword and torch regime that he
| may undertake to set upin that city,
and the same may be said of Virginia
at large. 1t is, of course, possible,
though not at all probable, that dis
turbances here and there may occur,
not only in Virginia, but i'll other
Southern States. These, however,
will be the result OF recent appeals to
the vanity and credulity of the half
educated and pretentious negro.
They will not be due to any folly or
malignity on the part OF the race at
large.
In any event the punishment will
fall upon the dupes OF the impudent
and vicious incendiaries who stir up
passion and invoke violence from a
safe distance-never upon the lncen-
diaries themselves. We have always
wondered why discontcnted negro
leaders like Lawyer Hayes and Edi-
tor This and Bishop That persist in
clinging to neighborhoods and lati-
tudes where their virtue and accom-
plishments are not appreciated. The
whole country North OF the Potomac
is open to them, yet they Obstjnately
adhere to an environment which they
denOunce as brutal and tyrannical.
Why do they do this? What is their
idea in perpetuatingan arrangement
which so cramps their development
and wounds their sensibilities? The
white people do not want them.
Ninp-tenths OF the colored people
would benefit by their departure.
Why do they not migrate to New
England or Kansas or Indiana, where
anxious thousands await their add
vent and will hail with gratitude
their civilizing and exalting influ-
ence? Lawyer Hayes talks vOlubly
about fire and sword, and devasta-
ting conflict, and all the rest OF it.

GREAT MR.. BUM AND LITTLE
MR.. LEE.
Baltimore Sun.

SuH
The bill introduced in the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature providing for an
appropriation OF $2O,OOO for the
erection OF a statue of Gen. Robert
E. Lee at Gettysburg, has evoked a
great deal of comment in the Key
stone State. Yesterday the Sun
published extracts from the speeches
of Col. A. X. Mcclure and Judge
John Stewart on the pending meas
ure. The record would not be COM
pletc, however, without some refer
ence to Hon. w. NJ. Bunn's contribu-
ton to the discussion. Mr.. Bum
has written an elaborate letter, pub
lished in the Philadelphia North
american, in which, after condemn
ing the proposition to place statue
of General Lee on the Gettysburg
battlefield, he crushingly remarks:
Il am willing that the man Robert
E. Lee shall repose in the charity OF
merciful oblivion
Everybody is aware that when
Mr.. Bum consigns man to oblivion
the case is settled. He has only to
nod or wink and obscurity is forever
more the portion of the unhappy
mortal against whom his scOrn is dl-
rected. Mr.. Bum is the great and
only dispenser of fame in the United
States He is a man of colossal pro-
portions that does need a mOnu-
ment to perpetuate his grandeur for
the admiration and emulation of flu
ture generations. His name is Il
household word throughout the uni
verse. The Hindu bathing in the
Ganges thanks Brahma for creating
such a masterpiece as Mr.. Bum, OF
Philadelphia. The Grand Llama
OF Thibet and his worshippers rejoice
that so glorious Il being as Mr.. Bum
adorns this mundane sphere. In
China his name is revered and adOred.
Europe sadly confesses that it has
30 son worthy to rank in the same
class with the pride of Philadelphia.
From the North Pole to the South
Pole, from one extreme OF longitude
to the other, Mr.. Bunn's stupendous
grandeur is recognized. All nations
agree that when nature made him
she threw the mould away.
But Mr.. Bum ought to be as mer-
ciful as he is strong and great. Be
cause he does not need Il monument
himself, inasmuch as his name will
90 sounding down the centuries
until time is no more, he might be
generous to less distinguished NOR
tails and give them a chance to be re-
membered by posterity. OF course,
ii Mr. Bum persists i'll his intention
to consign Robert E. Lee to oblivion
the case is hopeless. Colonel Mcclure
ought to entreat Mr. Bum to revoke
his decree For, if the Philadelphia
Colossus snuffs out the fame of Lee,
how long will it be before he blOts
out the names of Washington and
Jefferson and Grant and Lincoln in
order that he may have a monopoly
of the worlds admiration in the CEN
turtles to come. Mr. Bum ought to
give the little fellows some show.

AUTUMN LEAVES.

The lover of nature is reyeling now
 in the gorgeous tints which meet his eye fn forest and country. Truly i4 is natures most marvellous season. Tints and semi-tones,s combinations of most startling colors, all harmonizfng to make summers exit the most bril- liant of the four seasons. Why not preserve a bit of all this beauty to be a bright spot for us in the coming gray days? If can be done so easily and after it has been saved we find SD many charming uses to which it may be put The leaves, the spray of gold en rod or other autumn flowers, may be pressed in several ways so they will retain all their natural beauty. Two boards planed smooth and polish ed form an excellent press. the flow CTS being first placed between sheets of plotting paper. Another and really better suggestion is two very thick sheets of glass which are in them selves sufficiently heavy. to press the leaves or flowers without the aid of other weight, and have also the ad- vantage of transparency, allowing the specimens to be seen without dis turbing them. After they are all nice ly pressed. they must be used in so many ways throughout the entire win ter. Picturesque frames for mirrors or photographs, guest cards or gilt box es. and even a frieze in a small room may all be decorated with these bits of autumn foliage. If the specimens are desired for a collection a dainty way to arrange them is on photograph mounts and then tie the cards togeth- CT with white, green or red ribbon, drawn through eyelet holes which are made with ticket punch. For the cover use a plain card which may be decorated with leaves or fancy letter ing.
