Agriculturists Meet.
Raleigh, N. C., August 27.?The sec
ond annual convention of the Cottor
States association of the commissioner:
of agriculture will meet here tomorrow
at noon. Many of the delegates arrive*
during the day and more are expectec
tonight.
The session promises to be most in
* teresting and fruitful. There are mar]
questions of vital importance to tL<
farmers to be discussed; many movement!
for the bettering of the cotton producer u
be inaugurated and many ideas to l<
conveyed in the message from the Stat*
officials to the tiller of the soil
Probably tirst iu importance is tL*
perfecting of a plan, outlined at the Nev
Orleans convention, for the estimate o
the cotton crop at all periods of the season
Should the present plan of the associ'a
tion be executed it is believed fals*
estimates will in the future be impossible
The commissioners have reached th<
conclusion that the tax receiver of each
county in each State is the proper man tt
estimate the crop.
Everj* indication points to the fact thai
the crop will be short, as compared with
last season. The figures, unofficial, show
that a crop of i?,500,000 bales will be
about what the commissioners will believe
is in sight.

0- Washington, Aug. 28.?Action was
r* taken by the war department this morning
carrying out the recently announced
n policy of this government to send no
is more troops to China at present. An
of order was sent to the department's
agents at Kobe, Japan, to divert the
06 First United States cavalry and their
animals from that port to Manila, instead
of allowing them to proceed to
ie Taku, according to their original orders.
Another important development over
a* night was General Chaifee's statement
a" that he had not heard from the war department
since Aug. 14, a fortnight ago.
a News has come from China within
P- that period of time, and the fact that
s- nothing has gone forward to Chaffee
and without doubt Minister Conger is
). in the same state, goes to oonflrm the
officials here in the conviction that the
wires are being manipulated, probably
by the Chinese agents, between Che Foo
1- and Shanghai, the cable connection.
The snbjeot may be made the basis of
some strong representations to Sheng,
ie Jhe Chinese director of posts and telegraphs.
A casualty list from Colonel Wint was

Cyrus Towuseud Brady of "A Missionary
In the Great West'1 in-the Ladies'
Home Journal, "while discussing the
nature of the soul. That is, the bishop
was discussing. I was only prompting
by a question now and then. We were
on the rear seat of a wagon, with the
driver on the front seat. It was a
very dark night. lu the middle of the
bishop's exposition the wagon took a
wild plunge, there was a crash, and
over we went Into the muddy ditch.
" 'I beg your pardon, gents!' said the
driver, who had retained coutrol of the
horses as we scrambled to our feet. 'I
was so interested In hearin the man
discussln my immortal soul, which I
hardly ever knowed that I had one before,
that I clean forgot where we was
and drove you plump into the ditch.'"

ROBERTS DEFEATS
GEN. BOTHA AFTER A
BESPERATE BATTLE
Boer Lines Broken and the
Enemy Falls Back With
Heavy Losses.
THE BRITISH CASUALTIES
They Are Reported to Be Considerable.
It Is Believed That This Was the
Boer General's Last Stand and That
He Is Completely Crushed?Roberts
Reports Operations of His Army.
Pretoria, Aug. 28.?Fightiug with
iSotna's commandoes was resumeu mia
morning. The Boers' lines were broken
and the enemy fell back. The British
casualties are reported to bo considerable.
Lozexzo Marquez, Aug. 28.?Heavy
fighting is reported to have occurred at
Maehaaodarp. The Boers are said to
have been defeated with great loss, leaving
their guns and ammunition in the
hands of the British.
London, Aug. 28.?Lord Roborts' dispatches
announce what many people
here take to be the beginning of the last
stage of the South African campaign.
The commander-in-chief held a council
of war with his lieutenants on Saturday
and on Sunday began a general attack
on General Botha's intrenched position
on, which no impression had been made.
Lord Roberts reports that the Boers are
making a most determined resistance.
Some think this is really General
Botha's last stand, and that if defeated
here he will be completely crashed.
To judge by the fact that heavy reinforcements
have been ordered to prepare
to embark for South Africa in the next
few days, the British war office does not
believe that warlike operations are drawing
to a close.
BULLER DEFEATS THE BOERS
Euciav Makes a Determined Stand at
Bergrndul but Retires.
London, Aug. 28.?Lord Roberts, under
date of Belfast, Aug. 27, reports as
follows:
"Our movements are slow ou account
of the nature of the country. Today
we made a satisfactory advance aud
met with decided success. The work
fell entirely to Buller's troops aud resulted
in the capture of Bergeurlal, a
strong position 2 miles northwest of
Dalmauutlia. I met Buller at Bergeudal
shortly after it was reached by our
troops. I am glad to flud the occupation
cost less than was feared, on acof
the approach being across an open
glacis for 2,000 or 3,000 yards and the
determined stand of the enemy. I hope
the casualties do not exceed 50 or 60.
One officer was killed aud two were
wounded. A good many Boers were
killed and a pompom (quick firing gun)
was captured.
"French advanced on the left to
Swartzkopjes, on the Levdeuburg road,
and prepared the way for the movement
of Pole-Carew's division today.
"Baden Powell reports that he occupied
Nylstroom without opposition. As
the country where he aud Paget are operating
is dqnsie bush and veldt it is not
desirable at the preseut to proceed further
north and their troops are returning
to Pretoria."
ONE DEAD, TWO WOUNDED.
Johnson Kills One of His Assailants
and Shoots Another.
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 28.?One ne
gro was killed and another wounded at
Woodlawn as a result of jealousy. Ben
Johnson, a negro, went to church with
a Woodlawn woman. Before the parties
left church there were mutterings
amongst Johnson's rivals and the information
was conveyed to him that he
was not wanted in Woodlawn and that
he had better not wait to carry his girl
heme.
Johnson refused to be intimidated and
started home with the girl. While on
the way several negroes sprang from the
roadside and attacking Johnson, one of
them, Will Brady, striking him on the
head with a hickory stick. The blow
felled Johnson to the ground, but he
came up shooting. Brady was killed,
and another negro, whose name has not
been learned, was shot in the neck.
Eleotion In South Carolina.
Charleston, Aug. 28.?The Democrats
primary election is being held today.
A full state ticket, United States
senator, congressmen and county officials
wdke chosen. Senator Tillman is
unopposed for re-election. It is generally
believed the first primary will
leave Hoyt and a dispensary man, probably
Mc3weeney, in the race. In this
city there is a warm local fight for
oounty offices.

' Dublin, Ga., Aug. 28.?S. M. Veal,

complained to two of his cotton pickers,
Carswell and Will Curry, negroes, because
of their carelessness in picking
the staple. The negroes became offended
and began to abuse Veal, who ordered
them from the field. Each then drew a
pistol, but Veal was too quick for them
aud had them covered before they could
shoot.

Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot for years by
the chains of disease is the worst form of
slavery. George p. Williams, of Manchester,

two bottles of Rlectric Hitters she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work." This supreme remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness, sleeplessness,
melancholy, headache, backache,
fainting and dizzy spells. It is a godsend
to weak, sickly, run-down people.
