this year.---At a meeting of the Lenoir
county Miller's Association, Capt. j. c..
Kennedy spoke freely Of the adulteration of
iiour practiced by some Northern firms
that III addition to the use OF gypsum and
other deleterious objects, there was a large
rock quarry at some point In the Wes1 which
worked a large body of men and costly ma
chinery to grind up marble dust for the
adulteration Of -four. That there were about
4O, 1000 barrels of Northern and Western
-four annually delivered at the different de
pots of the Wilmington and Weldon Rail
road. That we ought to break up this ruin
ous habit, as we had better facilities for
making good flour than many of our sister
States who are now furnishing us. That
North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia and Cali
fornia are the only States that can raise
wheat which when ground into lour will
pass the Equator without spelling. On mo-
ton, Mr.. Kennedy was requested to prepare
and read at the next meeting of the Associa-
