Our Agricultural Opportunity;” E. P. Bailey. “Democracy and Education.”Attorney James H. Pou has returned here from Wilson, where he appeared n the most singular suit ever brought in this state. In a railway wreck at Lucama. in that county, three weeks ago, due to a collision between a passenger train and a freight, an express car and two cure loaded with guano were burned. A man named LaFayette Lucas bought the guano and the ashes and began to distribute thio upon h:a farm nearby. A few days ago some negroes who were loading the stuff upon wagons, in order that it might be hauled away found a diamond, a fine gem, cut and later others were picked up in the debris, until up to today no less than 26 have been found, valued at $7,300. The whole community is widely excited and search Is being made in the fields where Lucas had hauled the fertilizer. The question which has now arisen is as to who is the owner of the diamonds. Lucas, who bought the stuff or the finders. The case in which Attorney Pou appeared his client, Henry Jones, is one of the finders, he havingTlcked up a diamond valued at over ♦600. The case was hurried before a magistrate who at onoe gave judgmentin favor of the finder. The case was atonce taken to the Superior court, upon a non-suit, the yalue of the property i involved being over $50, which is the { limit of the Jurisdiction of a magistrate. The owner of the diamons has not appeared and it is very evident that the gems were being smuggled In some sort of a- package, as they were not upon the express manifesto nor werethey in the safe, but among the miscei-1 ianeous parcels. Lucas Is endeavoring to stop the search for diamonds save by his own agents, bt finds it impossible to do so. and people cf all ages are looking for the gems all around the station and in the road and fields nearby. as the belief is current that many thousands of dollars worth yet remain to be found- The railway people and the express officials are taking no part in the affair. Negroes have four.d as many or more of the diamonds as the whites. In sunshine and in rain the search goes on.In his annual address before the North Carolina Medical society here today. President H.
