A n MACHINE.

wheel filled with buckets or schoops

by each bucket as it revOlveS, and
brought around to the top OF the ma

ing belt which carries it out to one side,
the dirt flowing in a steady stream. In
Che meantime the entire machine keeps
moving; it looks like it was hardly
moving, but time it. as was one yes
terday, and 1t cuts a ditch seven feet
deep by two wide at the rate Of three
feet a minute. In rocky. gravely soil it

Senator Hoar Shocked.

There was one hearty outburst Of
laughter in the Smoot trial, says the
Washington correspondent OF the New
York World. President Smith had said
that ex-Apostle Moses Thatcher diff
fered from the other leaders OF the
Mormon Chorch and wanted to go in
TO politics against their judgment and
advice.
why was this?" asked Mr.. Taylor.
Did Mr.. Thatcher desire any office ?"
Yes, he wanted some Office. I be-
Heve," replied President Smith.
Can you remember what Office he
wanted?"
II do n lust recollect-"
Wasn't it that Of s~enator?" Didn't
Mr.. Thatcher want TO be United States
~senator?"
Oh, yes" said Smith; II think ii
was that. 1t was senator-or some
thing like that"
The loo that came over Senator
Hoar's face as he heard the words
that mean thai any living being
thought there was an office on earth
like that Of United States senator was
somethinp awful to witness. In a mo-
ment it had passed and the whole
committee burst into laughter, in
which Mr.. Hoar joined feebly.

MI. Jim EIkin.

A child which appeared to be about
one week old was found last night in
a basket on the front porch of Mr..
Jim Elkin. No. 1105 North Fourth
street.
Mr.. Elkin stated that he heard some
one knock on the door, and when he
opened the door he heard some rum
ming up the street. He said he
stepped out on the porch to see If
he could e any one, but no one was
in sight. The open loo let the light
from the hall into the porch and
he noticed a basket sitting Oil
the edge Of the porch. Upon exami-
nation the basket was found to con-
tain q young white child. The bas-
ket was carried into the house and
the matter reported to the police. An
officer went to the hous and carried
the child to the James Walker Me-
mortal Hospital.
A bottle of milk was in the basket
with the babe. The wearing apparei
OF the child was very plain, but great
are had been taken in making the
child as comfortable as possible.
When found the child was sleeping.
Later:-This morning at 8 o'clock
Poice Sergeant Burnett found out
who was the mother of the abandoned
child. He at once wen to the hos-
pital, got the child and carried it to

INCREASE IN
Cotton Farmers Preparing to plant
Unusually large Crop-More Fertil-
iZer Being Sold Than Ever Before.

Every indication points to an in
crease in the acreage of the cotton
crop during the coming season. Fer
tillZer dealers in this city say they
AVE never before solo such large
quantities of fertilizer. They say that
the railroads are taxed to their ut
NEST capacity to handle the ship
ments of fertilizer.
The farmers are not only going to
increase their acreage this year, but
they are going to use fertilizer for all
OF their crop.
October futures were quoted yes
terday at 1887 and it is no wonder,
with the vision OF such prices for the
coming s that the farmers are
making preparations for a large crop.
In speaking of the increase in 2 r.
age one farmer said that the front
yards and chicken lots would be
planted in cotton this season.
a gentleman familiar with the la
Dor situation, stated yesterday that if
the farmers made a large crop OF cot
ton h thought that they woul ex-
perience great difficulty in getting IL
picked. Last fall he said the farm
ers had to pay higher prices than ever
before and then il was exceedingly
difficult to get hands. One reason.
given as to the scarcity of labor on
the farms was that an enormous num-
Der of hands were employed in east
ern Carolina in cutting logs and cross
ties and that the negroes could make
more money doing this than work
