 Thus far the experiments have prem ised the happiest results. The negroes have reached the state where the dark color was fading in patches and a singular checkered effect was achieved. In few weeks they were prepared to take up the white mans burden.

Important to Cotton Growers.

Raleigh, n. c., March go. 1904.
To the Cotton Growers of North Car
DINA:
The undersigned has just received q
note from the editor of a drug trade
journal asking if any Cotton-root bark
is to be obtained in this state. The
present wholesale price Of ~cotton-root
bark in New York is from Is 10 20 cents
per pound.
1t is very strange that cotton grow
ers with idle hands during the winter
months will permit this most valuable
part of the crop to waste in the fields
and remain as an encumbrance to the
succeeding crop.
1t is likely that in most cotton sec
tons the roots now in the field are
still salable n a very good thing can
be made out of them while waiting for
the soil to dry Those who wish t
gather the root-bark should first send
to the undersigned a sample of one
pound of fresh root-bark in order 10
ave its quality tested. For all the
good offered the undersigned will agree
to find a sale.
AS the present high price may no:
continue long those who wish TO sci.
should act promptly.
Samples may be sent by mail at rate
of s cents per pound for postage.

The Wilson Creek Lumber Com
pany of West Virginia today domesti-
Gated itself in North Carolina. Its
main office here is at Saginaw, Nit
chell county. J. W. Mortimer Jr. be-
ing the agent. The capital stock is
s150,000.
The inspection of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College here by the
board of visitors and the special COM
mittee of the trustees which occupi-
ed yesterday was very thorough. 1t
is found that there is lot enough
power TO operate all the MACHINERY
in the textile building and an increase
will be specially recommended II
there were funds available an in
crease in the faculty would be re-
commended. The farm is found TO
be in a very satisfactory condition
and well managed.
Next Friday afternoon Governor
Aycock and ali his staff will go to
Pinehurst, as the guests OF Mr..
famous resort.T They visited the place
a year ago. upon the invitation of Mr..
Tufts. and the people of Pinehurst
were charmed with the Governor.
The party will spend Saturday and
Sunday at Pinehust, arriving here
early Monday morning The season
is at its height there and all parts OF
the country north of here are well
represented.
Among today's arrivals was Ex--
Secretary of State Cyrus Thompson
of Onslow county. He says that
everything in the crop line is extre-
mely backward there. but that there
are signs of spring, the beautiful yel-
low jessamine being in full bloom.
That section is at least a fortnight
earlier than Raleigh.
Some new rural delivery routes
are to be laid out in this county in
the next thirty days, and will give
Wake a total of "a routes.
The Governor has commissioned
Thomas c. Daniels of Newberne to
be the chief command of the North
Carolina Naval reserve, of which he
has been in charge since the resig-
nation of Captain w. t. Old of Eliza
abeth City.
CAPTAIN B.. P. Williamson of this
city, a veteran fruit grower and a
careful observer, says the heavy frost
of Tuesday and the lighter n yes
terday have not damaged fruit in this
section. He says there is an old say
ing that fruit is very rarely killed by
frost in March. In March p, 1898
there was a freeze that Stayed the
fruit, the temperature having drop
ped from 50 degrees to % degrees in
two days.
1t is not yet known what company
will be accepted in the National
Guard OF this state to make the place
made vacant by the DISARMAMENT of
the company of infantry at Hartford.
TThere are about fifteen applications
on file. OF course the question OF
ocation is important. Hickory Will
be a capital point for a company,
but there is no application from that
place.
1t is the current remark that there
never was so late in a campaign year
so little ak about politics in North
Carolina A veteran democrat said
the people simply were not akin
about politics. Once in a while some
one brings up the question of COVER

ROAD no SEVEN SPRINGS.
GoIdsboro People Glad of Its Starting
PIace-A Marriage.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Goldsboro, n. c. April The
Miss Sallfe Combs occurred last night
at the residence of Mr.. William
Strickland where the bride had made
her home. Esquire D. J. Broadhurst
performed the ceremony, which was
witnessed by only the few intimate
friends of the contracting parties.
THE people of G~oldsboro as well
as the business interests of the town
is to be congratulated upon the fact
that this place was selected as the
starting point for the Seven Springs
railroad. The towns of Mt. Olive,
LAGRANGE or Kinston would have
been glad Of the opportunity to vote
double the amount of bonds for the
construction of the road that Colds
boro has been asking to vote in order
to secure the road. 1t means some
thing for a town besides the opportu-
nifty to visit the springs. 1t is hard
ly necessary to state that the people
of this city will gladly avail them
selves of the opportunity to secure
the road by voting for the bonds.
The hosts of friends of Mr.. J. E.
Crow will regret to know that he
had to retire from business on PC
count of his health. He has beer
conducting a retail grocery business
in his city for several years.
The last installment of the Colds
boro baseball team arrived in the
city today. With the arrivals today
from Wilmington the team is just
as it stood last year The remainder
of the week will be devoted to prac-
tice in order to be able to meet the
team from Raleigh which will play
three games here next week, begin
ming Monday afternoon.

Toxic March 31.-The action of Rus
sian warships In sinking the japanese
coaSting steamer Hanyei Maru last
saturday is deeply resented by the jap
anese. In official circles the attack
upon the sinking Of this vessel Eeac
Taichin island. is pronounced to be :.
clear violation of the neutrality of
China. besides being an act of van
tonneSS against a defenceless craft.
The sinking of the japanese steamer
Nakonamara Maru, by the Russian
V~ladivostok squadron near the Tsrusa
straits is recalled. The Hanyei Maru
was an old steamer of sixty-four m
and had been chartered by some cor
respondents Of the Japanese newspa-
pers. After transferring ten japanese
and seven Chinese from the Hanyel
Maru. the fire of two vessels was di-
rected upon the steamer and one of the
uSsian torpedo boat destroyers sent
several shells through her hull.
