He told of how General Bryan ^ad with his troops, mainly j^orth Carolinians, some were Virgin ians. had a clear road to Lynchburg and so notified Gen. Lee; that Gen! Lee bad to send three mesages to Gen. ?J?e8i0 w,tbdraw before that gallant soldier did so. Asthe Confederates with drew the enemy rushed forward, when Coxe's brigade charged up this hill and at this very spot fired the last volley There is no disparagement of the brav ery or the endurance of any Confeder ate soldier, but with tho fortune, of war that North Carolina should be in a po sition to do things that were done here and it has so come about that Grimes planned the last fight; that last Fed kmI! ,ba!!ery was raptured on yonder mill by Roberts' brigade; that last skir mish was fought on yonder side of old Lynchburg road by the Fourteenth and Twenty-fourth Noith Carolina Regi ments. or rather their fragments, and the last charge made and the last vol ley fired by the organized Infantry of Coxe's brigade. North Carol ma Is proud of there things, but docs not boast of them, as her sons only did their duty. Governor Montague made a splendid address ai^Lwas followed by Governor Glenn, wl^e oration was a master piece of Impassioned eloquence. In closing, he told abou^. what hap pened at AmjqmaUox- and what North ^aro^ntb* did there. His Imparfifened wSMs and forceful features putn?$ the whole powar of that scene on that *wftll ds# forty years ago before hla a painting on a- wall, bold at?<l vtvfd tn every particular. His eu logy of/that superb soldier, Gen. Bryan GrinK*, was splendid, and hla tribute to J>r? gallant Generals Coxo. and Rob. i brought general applauwT. as Im ned to the latter, who sat upon the stage, the youngest Confederate brl 6*dler. He told how General Lee. af ? Cox.g * had ashed what ?S1 Si! ** ti^ops ipssnsr nr j of nil lost during the war by the Con federacy; of how sixty regiments of j North Carolinians had been put into ! Virginia. The governor expressed Ids pleasure that ail Virginians here by their Pintles and words had made North Carolina welcome and declared that if they ever came to North Carolina to I mark the grave of the humblest Vir ginia veteran burlod there, he would j open to, them his arms as wide as ho | could stretch them and his people ! would be with him in such a greeting. The ode of Professor Stockard was beautiful and \yas read with much feel ing and was nlghly complimented. The day was one to bo long remem bered. SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS '' Conditions as Outlined By Department of Agriculture. The week ending*! a. in., Monday ,he 10th, began with high tempera .ures and fair weather. Showery con lltlons with rain, hail, sleet and snow lurrittH pr?VHlled from 4th to the tith | neluslve. The hail did some damage j to tobacco and strawberries in the lorth western countries. The sleet ind snow were confined to the western ind central counties and did very lit - ;le damage. The snow occurred in he western and central counties but jvas not general, and it melted as It ell. The rainfall varied from less than lalf an inch to over an inch, and was fery well distributed and beneficial to growing vegetation and put the soli '.n to excellent condition for eultiva .ion ; it was heftvey enough to stop dowiug over the Western counties, )ut scarcely Inicrferred with farm vork in other sections. The frost on the 7th was general ?vor the State to within about six lilies of the coast. It was killing jvor the western "counties where the ninimum temperature fell to about 10 below freezing, and generally light n all other sections. Tender garden j vegetables, such as beans, and touia oes were more or less injured, and .>orn was nipped in ^he western Conn ies, although the damage was slight is there was but little up. Fruit is n full blooom In the extreme west jrn counties and tho frosts was in i daces, quite damaging, but elsewhere j t 1r not believed that fruit was ma terially Injured, except dgs in places tad possibly peaches. Farmwork Is well advanced gener illy, though backward in some sec lions where labor is scarce. Corn planting is nearly finished In :lie eastern and central counties where nost of it is up to fairly good stands; n the western counties planting is veil under way on uplands. Cotton planting has been begun in the eas( jrn parts and will .be begun in tho western ones next week. Some cotton <s already up. Tobacco plants are tmall In Marion and they were sligh( y injured by the hail which fell hlj tecllons. Rice planting is making rap ' d progress in the Colleton district and las not begun in the Georgetown dls rlcts where the proposed acreage will je smaller than usual. Some sweet potatoes have been planted in the jouthwestern counties. The small grain crops are generally lolng well and look promising, but n some sections the oats crop is poor; ?ye is heading, pastures afford good grazing in the coast counties. Clar ions vary greatly, being poor in places ind backward, while in others early ' /egetables are on the market. Truck ivas damaged slightly by the frost, es pecially strawberries and beans and nicumhers. Strawberries, lettuce and radishes are being marketed. ? J. W. Daurer, Section Director.

An earth quake in Northern India caused a vast extcut of damage from Aura to Simla. There was a violent shock at Agra, I beginning at ?> 1<> o'clock in 1 1 ?*? morn- j ing ami lasting for several minutes. j The vibration traveled from west to j oast. Tin* inhabitants of Lahore wimp ' thrown into panic by a sin cession of shocks. It is reported that tin' imvi'ts j of the Oolden Mosque have fallen, ami \ the Wazir Khan Mosque was badly j cracked. Tin* shocks were so-violent at Delhi i that natives squatting on the ground j were completely overturned. The native quarter of Dharmsala was obliterated entirely, the population be. iny hurted under the ruins, and nine persons were killed in the Kuropcau quarter, where the buildings were w recked. The women and children of 1 Miami- j pa la are sleeping in the open air. Their j discomfort was increased by a keen ? frost. Food could not be procured : there. l.alk>rc,< IJrltlsh India.? Tin1 earth- | quake was the worst disaster here within the memory of living persons. The towns of Anirltsar, .lullumlcr, I Ferozepoor, Mnltan, ltawul-pindi and j Mussooree were badly shaken. Croat damage and loss of lift? were j reported from Kashmir. The Dalhousle, l'clioa, iMinidum and 1 I'atiala telegraph lines became disor ganized. <> Seventy natives were killed at La hore. The Mohammedans be^an parad ing the streets, praying and cerenion iously performing funeral rites. Iteports itidleate that Dharinsala felt j the full force of the shock. The killed Include C. \V. Lexton, who only the I previous day had assumed the otHce of District Judge in succession to Captain Klliott, who, with his family, left the same day, escaping the shock. Others who 'perished were F. \V. I.evl, ( '. T. Young, T. Millar and F. Far leys, aK public ottlcinls; (Junta in Muscroft. and Mrs. Hohiuson, wife of Colonel Kohin son, and her tw(\daUghtcrs. At Mussooree there was considerable damage to private property. Curious scenes were' witnessed In the grounds of the Savoy Hotel there, where wont en rushed from the hotel in hastily as sumed garments, their hair covered with /alien plaster. It is a. curious fact that the older houses In Mussooree es caped with less damage than modern buildings. Accounts from Mussooree state that the reverberation which preceded the shocks will never be forgotten by those who heard it. The mountains heaved and swayed a full minute, and then three severe shocks, each lasting a few seconds, were felt in quick succession. Between 0 o'clock in the morninj? and midnight there were twelve shocks. The day was fine and clear and most of the inhabitants were already" up when the lirstJfniock came. Those who were still In bed described the motion as being like that of a ship in a storm, while those on foot found It impossible to maintain their balance. Many nar row escapes are reported. Ileports from many more towns show widespread damage and more fa talities. At Firozfur (forty-seven miles east of Lahore), Anirltsar, Farana, Dehra, Dun and Hrlnagar many natives were\killed or Injured. Th<y hills show llie worst effects of the shock. Communication with the whole of Kashmir lias evidently been cut by landslips or accidents to the lines. Orthodox .limtus declare that tin* heinous sins of her children make mother earth tremble.

The murderers have had :i large degree of freedom in the day time. At 8 o'clock that night the death watch was changed. The night men were James Sutton and .lames Crooks. They sat in the corridor, while Luster and Miller wrre in cells opposite each other. At about <>..'?? o'clock Sutton was sitting facing Miller's cell and was talking to lilni. ('rooks was wit ting nt I .aster's door. Luster asked per mission to go to a ruvm at the end of the corridor. Crooks unlocked the door ami turned to walk to the room so as not to have I.rtster out of his sight fin ally time. Luster stepped from his cell as Crooks went up (lie hall. Luster was armed with a piece of iron which he had taken from his Iron bed. This was wrapped several times with doth, and It was this that saved Sutton's life. Sutton had not turned when Luster emerged and Crooks was going up the corridor with his hack turned. Without a Word Luster struck Sut ton on tin? head, stunning him and throwing him forward so that his head hit the bars of Miller's cell. Luster, by a quick movement, grabbed Sn t - I [ ton's revolver. Crooks' attention was ! drawn by the noise, and as he turned Luster shot at him. The bullet hit I hi m In the right arm, disabling it. Sutton had recovered and sought to close with Luster and, at close rUntfe, received three bullets.' One was close to the loft eye, but was stopped by the frontal bone. Another was in the breast .and the third was 'well down on the loft side, but not in u vital place.
