The following communication which was adj
er, is well deserving the attention of planters:
MIR Editor.-I was yesterday presented with
a specimen of the fbres Of Okra, prepared by
John Robertson, Esq of this CITY, in the man
ner Of hemp, il was unfortunately immersed in
lye instead of pure water, & the staple in some
degree injured by it. 1t presents a similar,
though rather more silky appearance than the
Manila, which is now becoming very generally
used for running rigging. Almost as much may
be Obtained from a stalk Of Okra as the Hemp,
and as the cost would be nothing, it is certainly
worth the TRIAL, whether cordage of good quail
i,y & extremely cheap, could not be made from
it. While upon the subject Of domestic pro-
ducts, | would observe, that a friend who tra-
yelled through the State some years since, stop
ped at a public house in the yard OF which he
saw a number Of large pots, and on inquiry
for what purpose they were used, was informed
by the landlord tina, he boiled sugar in them
He said he had raised a great quantity oil water
melons-it occurred TO him that he might OBJ
tain sugar from them; accordingly he express,
ed the juice, boiled it, and produced a clear and
delicious syrup He was not well acquainted
with The process of granting it, but 1, answered
all his purposes, and he had not since prrchas-
ed any Sugar. 1t is well known that the melon
contains a greater quantity Of saccharine mat
ter than cane, and though it is not SO strong,
yet doubtless sugar might be obtained from it,
which would answer every purpose OF our CO.
mestics. Our State abounds in wealth, which
the enterprise of ew properly directed, might
bring into circulation, & which would do more
towards relieving The distresses OF the people,
than all the nonconsumption tarif-repealing
resolutions that ever were passed. /.
