Ends His Own Life by Using Shot
Gun.

Clayton, N. c., Oct. 10.-John H.
Lancaster of this place committed
suicide by shooting the back of his
head off with shotgun. He was
hard drinker and had been on a
carousal for about two weeks. He
lived in one of the cotton mill set
Elements and bore pretty worthless
name. Early in the night he took his
gun in hand and went out of his
house, making the threat that he in
tended killing the chief of police, w.
A. Johnson, or himself. None of his
family knew anything further about
him until this morning when going
out they found him dying at the back
door with his head shot as named.
No motive is given as the reasons for
act.

Charges of Corruption Against Sem

Milwaukee, Wis. Oct. 10.-The
charges that United States Senator
Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wiscon-
sin secured his election through
bribery and that he spent $107,7s3
corruptly to influence voters. were to-
day put by the United Staes Senate
investigating committed squarely up
to John ]. Blaine, a State Senator,
who brought the charges. AS re-
suit, Blaine admitted he had no facts
or information personally known to
him to be true upon which to sub
stantiate his charges. He admitted
that the charges were based largely
on newspaper editorials. political
speeches, and hearsay.

Government Will Prevent Shipment
of Unripe Fruit.

Washington, Oct. 9.-The Depart
ment OF Agriculture has prepared
for confscation of any shipments of
unripe oranges or other unripe fruit

Florida agricultural authorities, an

One Negro Killed Because Another
One Rang Church Bell.

Washington, ~. c., Oct. s.-News
reached this city yesterday of the
murder OF Alex. Harper. colored, last
Sunday night near the township of
South Creek, about forty miles from
this city. 1t seems that Harper was
the sexton OF a colored church in that
vicinity and about 1880 o'clock an
other negro, Thomas Barnes and his
wife, were the first to arrive at the
church, another negro woman, Jose
phine Yates, soon followed and pro-
ceeded to ring the church bell before
the arrival of Harper. Harper hear
ing the bell soon put in his appear
ance and became very much enraged
with the woman for her act. Becom-
ing very abusive, Barnes proceeded
to take hand in the rucus, and in a
few minutes there was a general mix
up. Barnes, it is said, knocked Har-
per down and dubbed him to death,
making his escape Immediately after
wards, and at lost reports is till at

an dthe result was astonishing. The
crop was as thick on the ground as
it could stand, we'll filed, and about
five feet high. Just a few steps away
where no mulch of any kind was used
the rye made but an Indifferent
growth and was thin on the land.
Another farmer in Randolph County
last year thoughtlessly spread some
old straw, weeds, and coarse, dirty
grass over gall spot In his wheat
field, and in the spring and at har-
vest time was surprised TO find his
crop looking as though he had spread
tons of stable manure over the land.
Instances may be multiplied.
In the future do not let your old
hay, old straw, flooded grass, mixed
weeds and coarse grass, lie around
and rot in the fence corners and gull
lies, bat spread them evenly over the
poor spots in the wheat or oat fields
just after the crop is sowed. When
the crop is harvested, run a sharp
disk harrow over this mass of half
rotten vegetation once or twice and
pillow it under prior to seeding the
field to soy beans or cowpeas to be
plowed under il the land is poor or
cut and fed to live stock IL the land
is not in need of fertility. We had
intended to discuss corn as a green
manuring crop this time, but find our
space all occupied with the above dis
cussion, and we will have to defer
this crop for next week.

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORTS.

Most of the Crops Are Yet Unhar-
vested-Wheat Crop Not as Large
as Last Year.
Washington, Oct. 9.-Disastrous
weather conditions which prevailed
throughout the country earlier In the
growing season abated during Sep
TENDER, and the condition Of most OF
the important unharvested crops, on
October I, showed improvement.
Corn was one-tenth OF one part or
one per cent higher than 1t was on
September 1; potatoes improved 81
per cent; tobacco ga per cent; flax
IL per cent, and apples 3.6 per cent.
Rice condition declined 1.S per cent.
The effect Of the hot weather and
drought throughout the growing sea-
son was shown in the Official prelimi-
nary estimates OF the production OF
spring wheat, oats and barley. These
three grains showed a loss In produc-
toin over LAST years harvest of an
aggregate OF 301, 100000 bushels.
All wheat is about 10000, 200 bush
els less than last year. The yield
totaled the indicated total produc-
ton OF corn as figured out by the
Department OF Agriculture from the
current condition viii be about 1885,
100000 bushels less than last years
corp. Buckwheat is almost two mil
lion bushels less than last year, pota~
toes 100000 less, tobacco g.
000. 900 pounds less. and rice 2,000.-
900 bushels less. Flax is the only
important crop which will give har-
vest greater than last year, the pres
emit season producing about 10000.
600 bushels more.

New Bern, Oct. 10.-The trial of
Burrill Casey and his wife, Leona
Casey, is progressing and nearing the
end of what will have been one of
the most sensational murder trials
ever held within the borders of the
State, the prosecution making every
effort to prove that the defendants
caused the death of Mr.. Joseph
Witty by administering poison to
him, while the other side is endeav-
oring just as earnestly to show that
the deceased had died from natural
causes and that Burrill and Leona
Casey had naught to do with his de-
mise.
From present indications and un-
less some unexpected delay occurs
the case will doubtless be concluded
