A dispatch from Evergreen, Ala., to the New York Herald yesterday says: Coot King, a farmhand on the plantation of William Ellis, near here, was lynched this afternoon by Mr. Ellis alone, he refusing all assistance, though a hundred or more of the neighbors gathered in the forenoon end were anxious to have a hand in the affair. William Ellis is one of the most promi- planters in Alabama, and is a man of jerable wealth.

Archaeologists have made the discovery that the site of a prehistoric town is being uncovered by the gradual washing away of the “Blue Banks” of the Ohfo river, near Portsmouth, about 100 miles from Colum- bus. As evidence of this archaeologists is the remains of perfect chimneys and hgarths are frequently exposed to view. In each case there is a layer of stones co ered by wood ashes. The space covered by exch hearth is seldom more than two feet. The theory fs that the village was aban- dened by the mound builders ages ago on account of some great flood, and that, dur- ing the long term of years that’ has elapsed, owing to falling leaves, moisture and other causes, the fireplaces became cov- ered with a stratum of soil. arles Noel while digging into an old mound near the river bark unearthed a skeleton, the great- er portion of which crumbled to aust as soon as exposed.

The Sparish minister has received the following dispatch from Dr. Congosto, the Spanish consul at Philadelphia, who is now in Cuba on a special mission: “The terms in which home rule is con- ceded have produced an effect which ean- not be improved upon. A commission of the home rul thanked the governor genera! him of their adhesicn to the institutions.

SOME SPECIAL FEATURES nere, at Center Market Hall, promises to eclipse the two previous ones. Interest is being taken in the event all over the country, and birds winning premiums at Washington are much thought of by poultry and pigeon reople. Every preparation is being made for the event, and an army of workmen are laboring day and night to complete the details of the undertaking. Many cannot realize the amount of labor necessary for holding a show of this kind, where every known variety of poultry and pigeons are to be properly classified and judged cording to their merits. The poultry interests of this country are believed by many to be greater than any other one of the agricultural industri and the American hen the best paying institution that farmers have toda: According to statistics there are 000, ~ 009 chickens, and over 26,000,000 other fowls In this count These chickens will lay this year 1 000,000 eggs, the eggs will 009,000, and the poultry will bring in a making a total ace be werth $16 meat sold during the yea revenue cf $125,000,000, Barred Plymouth Rocks. value of eggs and poultry, $290,000,000. To tbts total must be added the value of the 350,000,000 hens, which is equivalent to at least $105,000,000._ This estimate of the Foultry and egg business is only what is done at home, and mention might inci- dentally be made of the fact that this country is compelled to import at least $2,000,000 worth of poultry and eggs an- nually to assist in supplying the trade. The 13,750,000,000 eggs will weigh at least $52,125 tons. is estimated that the wheat crop of America is worth $250,000,000, or more than $50,000,000 less than the earnings of the hen. The total value of all the milch cows in the country is something less than $263,- 000,000; the ken can buy every cow in America, as well as the entire tobacco crop, with one year’s earnings and have a cash balance in hand for other pufpose: A Wealth Producer. ‘These figures show concluslyely tMat;.io American hen is one of the wealth pro- ducers of our country, and not the idle plaything some would suppose her to be. ‘Those who like the freshly laid eggs for the breakfast table, or the tender, juicy fiesh of the broiler, insist that she is the uncrowned queen of the world. The fore- going discussion is of the plain everyday hen only, az she is found in the highways or eking out her existence on the farm, and nothing has been said of the aristo- cratic standard-bred hen that has royal blood in her veins, and that claims a dis- tinct and proud lineage for generations back. This class of poultry is what has maintained the great industry and is keep- ing alive the interest of the people in breeding and improving their resources. ‘The coming show will be a revelation to those who have no Knowledge of »oultry, and will convince cne and all of the vast importance of the industry to increase our nation’s wealth.
