KANSAS WHEAT PRODUCTION.
Secrctary Ceburn Says the Yield
The Year IL II Per Cent.
Below 1908.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 3.-The state
board OF agriculture has issued bul-
letin, based upon assessors returns
and statements from the growers, Civ
ing the acreage and yield Of winter
wheat and the acreage and present
condition Of the growing corn. The
yield OF wheat is given at 63,421 .156
bushels, or an average Of slightly less
than II bushels per acre on the entire
area sown, which was 5,Sl6,395 acres.
While 30 per cent. smaller than Kan
sas' world record-breaking crop OF
1903, this yield is II per cent. greater
than the states annual average in the
ten years ended with 1903. Accord
ing to the growers estimates, some
thing near 20 per cent, or 100000
bushels, is ''of good merchantable
quality" and the remainder more or
less damaged by excessive rains at and
after harvest time.

FEAR TO LIVE IN SOUTH GEORGIA?
Such a Statement Said to Have Been Made by State
House Officer. The Statesboro Affair is causing
Much Senseless and Harmful Talk

Several years ago Governor Northen
was in communication with a man out
west, who wanted to bring his family
to Georgia and who came to Atlanta
with his wife on a prospecting tour.
The westerners arrived just after a
sensational lynching somewhere in
Georgia, and the lady was in such a
state Of alarm that she did not want to
leave the car shed. She was finally
gotten as far Jas the hotel, however,
with the express understanding that
she was going back home lin a day or
two. After many assurances that her
alarm was not justified by the condl
tions the lady finally agreed to accom-
PAW her husband on tour OF inspec-
ton of one of the farms they contem-
plated buying. The next day she
pleaded a headache and the husband
went alone. Doubtless he went out OF
courtesy to Governor NOrthen, but If
he had any idea of remaining in Geor'
gia it was abandoned when he reached
the town to which he was destined.
The telegraph operator at the little
place had had difficulty with negro,
and when the stranger stepped from
the train the spectacle that met his
eyes was that of the body of dead
negro lying on the depot platform.
That was enough, With his mind al
ready filed with the accounts of lynch
ings and with the body of the negro
lying on the depot platform as if muir,
ders were of every day occurrence the
westerner turned his face from Geor-
gia.

NEGRESS LEAVES S175,OOO.
Will Bequeathed 1t to Two Young
White Men.

A Washington dispatch says Mary
Alexander Almarolia, a negro woman,
who died here on Tuesday, left will
bequeathing her estate, valued at
Sl75, 900, to two white young men, her
adopted sons, one of whom, Lewis
Alexander. is connected with the
American Electrical Company of New
York and lives at 246 West Twenty
ninth street. He attended the funeral
of his foster mother. The other adopt
ed son, Joseph Alexander, is employed
by a Washington street railway COM
pany as a switchman. 1t is understood
that the womans relatives will con-
test the will.
Mary Almaroia was a well known
character in Washington and many re-
garded her as a remarkable woman.
Her father and mother were full
blooded negroes. When young she
married az Italian, and he taught her
TO speak Italian, French, German and
Spanish. Through her good business
sense her husband accumulated con-
siderable amount of money, and judic-
iOus investments increased it many
times. She was a very charitable
woman, seeking out people in distress
and going deep down in her pocket TO
help them.

An Atlanta special quotes "a proml'
nent and popular state house officer"
as saying:
"No, | never expect to return to
south Georgia to live. My wife has
given me orders on that subject The
negro question is the cause OF 1t all
The Hodges murder showed what the
negro is capable of, and when you
think how easily negroes can be duped
into organizing before day clubs life
in the country has its disadvantages
Take a white family living on planta-
ton with forty or fifty negro families
and the nearest white neighbor two or
three miles away, and men, women
and children are at the mercy OF the
blacks. My wife says that when the
people vote me out of office l must
hunt another job, for she is not going
back to her old home"
Continuing the special says: 1t is
dark picture when a Georgian does
not feel safe on a Georgia farm, and
the statement of the official referred

old plantation but illustrates the truth
of what former Governor Northen has
said in regard to the negrO-that he is
tied to the south like a body of death.
Governor Northen has for years favor
ed immigration, hoping to increase
white population so as to oyer-balance
