Cattle^Growlng in the South. Special to The Stale. Baltimore, Sept. 4. ? Connect' ed directly with the industrial growth of the south i-. the ques i tion of cattle raising. Not only | is a population increasing through industry to he furnished its heef raised at home, but increasing employment in industry is to bo offered in the handling of cattle J in all its forms from the field to the consumer. Census figures | show that in five important southern States there was in 1000 a smaller number of neat cattle than there was ia I860 and in two of them a smaller number in 1000 than in 1880. A number of factors have contributed to the actual decline in the number of cattle in some State* together with a failure in others of the increase to keep pace with the increase in population. One of them is the habit of wiling young stock for shipment to the west to be grazed and killed there nnd to bo return ed to the south as beef. Tbo lack of economy in such a policy is being impressed upon southern farmers, and there are signs of deep interest in a revival of cattle , raising and in packing house uu j dertakings. Hearing upon that j movement is a letter in this , " I week's issue of the Manufacture j' era' Record from Mr. C. J. Haden < of Atlanta, Ga., embodying the J ( results of a trip he has made in | the west. He compares the high 1 | plains of (the west with the vast! ^ stretches of pine timber plains of c the southeast, with 50 inches of ' { rainfall a year, situated on an a\> ' c - erage 1,000 miles nearer the1 i markots and as yet unused for c agriculture, and ho says: "Our southeastern lands escape i the dest.riiffiuo - ?1 ' uiuiAmu.i nuu ; V snowstorms that afl^ict the plains; c for to it remembered that the! r grazing lands of the far west are t from 4,000 to 6,000 feet above ' ? ?ea lovel, and the best of them 1 s (particularly those parts near the ' 1 Rocky mountains) are subjected \ to heavy snow falls. . c The casual observer who first fa passes through the western plains' j and then through southern Geor- ! i gia forests will satisfy himself at a glance of the greater quantity t of g *ass on the latter. Cattle! k growing, which has been carried j v en in these forest amis in a small s way, adjusted to the feeble fiuan- t ces and lukewarm enterprise of the native settlers, has been prac- a tically all profit. The watering h and wintering necessary in the s west are unknown requisites, g Hitherto herding has also b??en o unnecessary, but this last item I must be considered if the industry is pursued on a considerable scale. Persons remote may be surprised to know that although t] Georgia was one of the 13 origi- ^ nal States, yet within 75 miles of Cl the first settlement (Savannah) 8( the traveler may ride across the n forest 10 miles without seeing the ^ habitat of man. Georgia, the c largest State in square miles east jj, cf the Mississippi river, having f] depended for nearly a century e( upon natural reproduction, unaid . ed by immigration, is }et deeid- ^ edly pioneer at both its northern and southern ends. Hence there w is sufficient grazing at present not A utilized for millions of cattle. Add 1} to these facts that water is abund* CI ant, if not on the surface, access- t tr ibl? by shallow wells, costing to gl dig from $5 to $10 each, or at g< most artesian wells costing on an cc average of $300, and there is a conclusive showing in favor of ^ the southern as against the far j) west C( "The land privileges in the Ci southeast would he less in pro* nnrtion - ? ? A?cuiug power or grass than in tbe plains. But us tba soutbeastsrn lands are in tbe inl most part timbered, or e/en Ci where cut over are valuable for general f:?r nlbg purpose, with Hutficieut tiuibor remainiog for farm uses, the stock grower would probably prefer to be his own landlord, lie cnn then at small cost supplement where needed with improved grasses. 44 The actual expense is less to 1 equip a ranch for beginning in the southeastern pine lands than on the western plains. The peculiar advantage of the pine land country is in the fact that more grass is found in a less area, bringing the herds closer to a given point, which facilitates business. The absence of tho harassing coyote, the sleepless thief of the night that eats away tho ranchman's dividend, is also n cumulative argument in behalf of the inviting forest ilong the South Atlantic. The high prices of cattle and 'houpness of tho land warrant an inHowing verdict." m j The Army Woim. j The army worm has appeared in this county and everything green is being ultaeked. The presence of the past was net noted until the early part of the week, but it is spreading over the face of the earth in countless millions, the number Apparently increasing every day. 1>L - iuu pastures arc especially objects if attack and in some instances hey have the appearance of having jeen swept by tire. Grass, Irish lotuto tops, turnip tops, peanut /ines, sweet pctato vines, sorghum jane and even corn is beiog attackid and on some farms the latter irop is suffering very much from ts ravages. So far we have heard )f no injury to the cotton crop. The tirst wo heard or saw of the avages of the pest was its attack ipon the Winthrop lawn, where it lestroyed a plot of grass in one lay. Since then, we have heard >f it in every direction, but more o on the clay lands than on sandy oil. A nrairio firn ... w w<?iu UUb lave been more destructive of egetation than has this pest been ?n the pastures of Mr. Sam Friedie:m and in numbeiless other ilaces the destruction that is gong on is equally ns great. We know nothing whatever of he insect, but one who claims to now tells us that it will not stay rith us long und will disappear as uddenly as it came. Let us hope bat he may hasten his departure. We understand that this worm ppeared in this section in countess millions in 1800, but has not ince been seen here in numbers reat enough to cause destruction f any consequence.?Rock Hill lerald.

A Id ull For Smoking Cigarettes' Editor Saunders, of Elizabeth City, Kofuses to l'uy a Fine j or Give Bond and Will Contest the Law. Special to The Observer. Elizabeth City, Sopt. 9.?Editor Saunders, of The Elizabeth City Tarheel, was this morning arrested and thrown into prison for smoking a cigarette within the corporate limits of Elizabeth City. Recently the board of aldermen of this city passed an ordiance making it an offense, subject to a tine, for any minor to smoke cigarettes upon tho streets of Elizalieth City. This morning Mr. VV. O. Saunders violated that law, ahd was arrested. Replead euiltv. ?rs " Mayor Wilson imposed the stipulated line. Young Saunders refused to pay the tine or give bond. He said: "The law is unconstitutional and arbitrary for a freeborn American." Saunders is in the lock-up. He refuses all offers of many friends to go on his bond. The result of this unique case promises to be interesting. A BOY'S WILD RIDE FOR LIFE.

Washington, Sept. 9.?The agricultural department's weekly summary of crop conditions says: 4'Although the week was cool in the central valleys and lake region with more than the average rainfall in portions of the upper Mississippi valley, maturing crops have made generally favorable, though not rapid advancement. The greater part of Texas, in which State severe drought prevailed at the close of the previous week, has received abundant rainfull, and drought conditions in-the middle Atlantic coast districts have als > been largely relieved. "Notwithstanding the prevalence of low temperatures throughout the corn belt, and copious rainfall in portions of the upper Mississippi valley, the corn crop has made very satisfactory advancement toward maturity, and wholly escaped in States eastward of the Mississippi river from frosts occurring on the 4th and 5th, with but slight injury in the uioicb iu iue westward. "Texas and a large part of tbe central and eastern districts of tbe cotton belt have received abnn* dant rainfall during the week, but it is roubtl'ul whether the beneficial effects of these rains 'o late cotton will offset the injury done to the open staple. Cotton has \ opened more rapidly than it could tie picked. In portions of the central and eastern district many i ields are already nearly cleaned, ^ ind the reports generally indicate > hat the ciop will be gathered * nucb earlier than usual. 1 fi'OHTUN K FAVOKN A \ TEXAN 1 a "Having distressing pains in e lead, back and stomach, and be- j ng without appetite, 1 began to c ise Dr. King's New Life Pills." ^ writes W.
