Wake Forest, Nov. 1.-The physi
clans in attendance on Frank Powers,
the Wake Forest boy who was seri-
ously wouHdad BY Freshman Gordon
Rhodes in one Of the most sensation
al hazing incidents in the history of
the college, express high hopes for
recovery. DR.. Royster, of Raleigh,
expresses the opinion that Powers
condition is much better to-day than
ever before. His strong physical
constitution is aiding him greatly in
his fight for life. While not yet out
of danger, his condition is pleasing
to all. Rhodes will be given pre-
liminary hearing before Mayor Ca
dell Monday It is thought by that
time Powers condition will be de-
termined. Rhodes father, r. L.

LITTLE BOY KILLED Al SHOW.
Father and Sen &c see Sparks SnoH
in a9I,gFsOnvEIe Where UGIgF-
tGna:e Accident Happens.

As a result Of a tragedy occurring
at Robersonville on Thursday, Gar
land Whichard, q little six-year-cld
son of Mr.. Henry Whichard, near
Parmele, is dead ard Henry Wilkes,
a colored man, is held in Martin
county Jail for killing the boy.
Sparks show exhibited il KcDer-
sonville Thursday and Mr. Whichard
took his little boy there to see 1t.
While they were in the side show
before the circus opened two negroes
got in a row in the tent. One OF
them, Henry Wilkes, pulled pint
bottle of 'whiskey from his pocket
and threw it violently at the other.
The bottle missed the negro but
struck the little Whichard boy, who
happened to be standing in range,
squarely on the head. The terrific
blow felled the little boy to the
ground with q fractured skull.
Three physicians, Drs. Ward, Of
Bethel, and Ward and Nelson, Of
Robersonville. worked on the little
boy ali the afternoon trying to save
his life, but he died about 8 o'clock.
An operation showed that hole IS
large as a half dollar had been broken
through the boys skull.
The negro, Henry Wilkes, was ar
rested Immediately after the TRACE
dy. SO much feeling was shown
against him with threats Of violence,
even the colored people taking part
in this, that the mayor Of Robertson
vile ordered Wilkes sent to the
county Jail at Williamson for safe
ty.-Greenville Reflector.

Coming Down to North Carolina
there is great victory for our State
ticket. Craig is elected Governor by
a majority that will exceed fifty
thousand along with ten Congress-
men and large majority in the next
Legislature.
The only disappointment to Us and

Gov. Kitchin in the Senatorial pri-
mary. Simmons wins over both
Kitchin and Clark by more than 25,-
O0O majority. There were many Dig

HGW to Sow Cats.

Most Southern oats are probably
sowed broadcast and ploWed or har-
rowed in. Experience shows that
oats sowed with a grain drill do bet
ter than those sowed broadcast end
pIowed or disked under. When the
drill can be used, it is better, and il
the small farmer cannot afford to
buy drill, then he should combine
with one or more other small farm
ers and thus secure a drill with
which to put in his oats. Less seed
is required when sowed with the
drill, and they are placed at a more
uniform depth, so that a better and
more uniform stand is obtaired.
The drill, especially the disk, leaves
the plants in q shallow furrow which
protects the young plants to some
extent against cold and heaving by
frost.
In the northern half of the cotton
belt, sowing ly the open-furrow
method should be practiced, and it
would probably pay wherever oats
are sowed in the fall. Winter kill
ing is one of the disadvantages of
fall-sowed oats. In fact, the yields
are decreased very greatly every
year from this cause. Of course.
oats sowed early enough, on we'll
drained land, and properly put in,
are less likely to Winter-kill, but in
the northern half of the cotton belt,
oats suffer more or less from winter
killing under the best conditions and
we believe it would pay to sow all
fall oats by the open-furrow method.
The objection to the method is
that the one-row planter is slow and
leaves the land in a rough condition.
The first objection can be avoided by
using two-row planter. which is
now made, and the other objection
is overcome by spring narrowing.
The seed are put in the bottom of q
furrow Of considerable depth and
covered very shallow. Tie furrow
protects the plants from frost and
the dirt falls down from the sides Of
the burrows and prevents the heav-
ing Of the plants out of the ground.
Ut has been demonstrated that there
is no winter severe enough to kill
oats sowed in this way and they
yield as much or more, even, when
the rows are Is inches apart. The

THE NEXT CONGRESS-.

The 63rd Congress, the Congress
that was elected Tuesday will con-
sist Of 435 members. II is also noted
ed that it is rot unlikely the new
House will have more contested cleo
ton cases than any before it, due
very largely to the number Of can
dates running on the several party
tickets. We &c TO press too early
this week to give the Democratic ma
iority in the House and Senate, but
at this writing it is conceded that
the House majority will be increased
over the last Congress and in all
probability the Democrats will have
a small majority in the Senate.

HOLD YOUR COTTON.
Las. Years l.GssoH-Dan't Rush Cotton
10 kiarI:gt.

Cotton, selling last fall for eight
or nine cents a pound-before it was
known just what ''whopper" the
crop was-is now selling for eleven
cents (nearly twelve). And this,
despite the fact that the official sta
tisticts now show that the crop was
over 100000 baIes-bigger than
any body dared predict in the be-
ginning.
The advance has come after the
great bulk Of the crop has passed
out Of the hands of the men whose
sweat ard labor brought it into BE-
ing. Millions and tens of millions Of
dollars that should have gone to en-
rich the plain farmers of the South
have gone into the hands of specula-
tors, merchants and cotton buyers.
But for last falls stamped to sell
the wholesale flooding of an al
ready satisfied market--the farmers
might have gotten eleven cents last
fall as easily as the Spectator gets
it now.
1t was risk to take, beause IS
Henry Grady said, Cotton is a darn
fool" but The Progressive Farmer
did take the risk Of continually urg-
ing farmers to hold for better
prices. We predicted that cotton
would be twelve cents by spring,
and if the crop had been no bigger
than conditions then indicated, it
would have gone to twelved before
now. Even with a $1,000, 000-bale
crop, it is nearly twelve. And our
readers who followed The Pro-
gressive Farmers counsel, refusing
to be frightened by the declining
market or by eight and nine cent
offers have profited notably.
The big lesson that seems to
stand out is the need of warehousing
and gradual marketing - putting
the crop on the market through a
period Of twelve months instead OF
a period of three. ''The lardorer is
worthy of his hire, and this springs
advance should have gone to those
who earned the wealth, not to those
who merely trafficked in it.-The
Progressive Farmer.
