Have proved to be the safest banking

ever failed, and that few have paid 7e
per cent Of their total liabilities.
This exceptional record Of stability

One feature Of National banking laws

NEGRO WAS SHOT BY -
WHITE OVERSEER
Outcropping of Race War-Militia Is
Ready For Any Emergency-0atIing
Gun Is Prepared For Business - Quiet
Last Night.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 2I.-At
Roos Mehan Iron Foundry this morn
ing, where white overseers are employ
ed with negro moulders and helpers,
white man named Rogers shot and
wounded a negro. The cause Of the
shooting is not known, but it is
thought to be an outcropping Of yes
terday's troubles between the races and
resulting from the lynching Of negro
named Johnson.
The business section OF the city is
quiet and there are no groups Of ne
grOes on the streets as was the case
yesterday. A guard, detailed from three
companies Of the state militia, remain
ed at the armory all night and squad
from the battery Of artillery with a
gatling gun was kept at police head
quarters until this morning.
The funeral of the negro Johnson
will be held this afternoon. There is
considerable unrest but conservative
citizens are OF the opinion that there
will be no further trouble.

INTEREST OF
GOOD SEED
WORTHY OBJECT or SPEAKERS
With THE SEED TRAIN
Big Meeting at Aneta Last Night-At-
tendance the Largest on the Tour of
the Great Northern Train = Many
Farm RS Interested.

Portland, N. D., March 2I-The
Great Northern seed train reached here
last evening, after making run over the
Mayvile line and the one to Aneta
and the first meeting was held here this
morning. The meeting at Aneta last
evening was one of the largest on the
entire trip. there being some 900 in the
hall, about 100 of these having come up
On the special train from Sharon, and
were taken back to their homes after
the meeting was over. The delegation
was met at the depot by the band
At Hope there was an attendance of
I3o and at Page a double meeting was
being addressed by Professor Shaw
while Professors Hoverstad and Church.
i'll remained for the evening meeting.
The additional meetings for today are
to be at Clifford, Galesburg, Kindred,
Walcott, Galchutt and Wahpeton.
1t is difficult to get the information
disseminated that no seed grain of any
kind is carried on the train and no one
has any for sale. Everything in the
way of commercialisln is cut out, and
the only object of the train is to grow
better grain, freer from disease and larg-
er in yield, and at the same time keep
UP the fertility of the soil,
The train is of especial value in this
sections where fax is grown because
sease that remains in the soil and effects
it has been found that fax wilt is di-
flax year after year, and when once in
troduced nothing has yet been found
to eradicate it from the ground If the
seed is treated with formaldehyde, as
recommended by the corps of instruc-
tors, it is believed that it will not be
introduced on land where it is not now
present. and in consequence of this, flax
can be grown year after year on the
same piece of land, as it is the flax wilt
which cuts down the production, as
experience has shown the raising of a
crop of flax is not greater drain on the
soil, than any Of the other small grains.
The corps of instructors on these seed
trains have already preached the gos-
pei of good seed to about $1,000 people
| in the state, and, undoubtedly, don-
siderable good will come from these
meetings though generally speaking, the
time allowed is far too short to more
than touch ON the topics in which the
farmer, is interested, and it is believed
that should this work be continued an
other year, arrangements will be made
for more extended course of farmers
institutes, so that full discussion may
be had. =. s i ..,.
