appointment that will be shared
by many counties and numerous
families in n. G.. to learn that an
other year will elapse before the
plans made by the Legislature to
increase the facilities for caring
for the insane can become effec-
tive. The main reason is because
of delay, which will continue for
several months yet, in the begin
ming the work Of constructing
the new state prison to be located
four miles west Of Raleigh, which
must be built before the present
state prion can be turned over to

made to conform to use as home
ifo insane patients, so many of
{whom have for many years been
! unable to secure admittance to
the present hospital here cecause
Of it's inadequate facilities and
financial provision.
The confronting causes Of the
delay include sufficient money
not available at present and the
building commission has not com
pleted the preparation Of plans
for the buildings that are contem-
plated
It looks like somebody has been

People who have soft-pedaled

sugar production in the United
to, approximately, $4,000 tons,
or enough to load a train Of
freight cars 20 or Is miles long,
allowing 80 tons per car. This
prospective crop is equal to more
than % pounds Of sugar for every
man, woman, and child within the
United States, and the increase
lover last year equals more than
i six pounds per person. The sugar
beet crop this year covers almost

ing condition on July / was above
the 10-year average. There is
more than half million acres of
sugar cane this year, about half
Of which is intended for sugar
and the other half for syrup, af-
ter deducting considerable am
cunts for planting the next crop.
There is a substantial increase
inacreage over last year, espec-
tally in Louisiana, where nearly
all the cane sugar Of the United
Estates is made. The growing con
ditien Of the cane in Louisiana is
much better than last year, but
considerably under the average
for the past nine years. The De

has carried on a number Of pro
jects looking toward making thi
country self-sustaining from I
sugar standpoint, is cooperating
with other agencies in protecting
the crops from insects and dis
ease and otherwise promoting tn
production and mitigation Of
bumper sugar crop. It should b

demned and denounced as unlaw-
full, but several Of our state
daily papers the past week
shed melenly lot of printers-ink
teers over the lynching Of an
innocent negro in Person
county. Advices reaching him
multiply to reunion all doubt
that the negro lynched was the
guilty one who assaulted the
young lady Of that county. The
alleged " doubt it now appear
was caused by a remark made by
another negro employed at the
same work as the one lynched
and was repeated by the white
man concerned, without saying
it was negro employee that at
! tempted to give an alibi. The
white man knew nothing and
didn't intend to say that he per
manently knew the lynched negro
was some where the when the
crime was committed. The loose
talk of the white man was more
than the statement of the negro
lfellow employee. Well known
reputable men in Person county
have sent written statements te
Raleigh with their names signed
thereto,-which they declare tn
negro lynched was the negro wht
committed the crime.
All this is the heels Of tn
printing by negro paper her
. of a sensational account Of tn
lynching Of another innocent ne
gro. The white men referred t.
