Mr.. r. L. steele for Governor

Mr.. II. L. Steele for Governor.
To THE CHRONICLE While other c0un-
ties are bringing their gubernatorial tim
Der to the front, the claims of Richmond
county must not be forgotten. The ten
dency seems to be to make the chronic
office seekers and ring politicians take .
back seat, and to nominate man who
will represent the material interest of the
people, and who has an interest in COM
mon with the people.
Richmond county has such man in
the person of Robert L. Steele, Of Rock
ingham. Mr.. Steele is quiet, modest and
unobtrusive, for he is man of as varied
information and as much sterling worth as
any in the State. Robert L. Steele is
known in this country as the poor mans
friend, and all classes and conditions Of
men would vote for him. He has done
more to build up North Carolina than any
other man in the State, and he has FUR
nished employment to more white boys
and girls, men and women, than any other
man in North Carolina. Mr.. Steele is not
a politician, never having run for an ofice
in his life; and don't know even that he
would accept the nomination for Cover
nor. but if he could be induced to run,
his very presence through the State would
do more to stir up enthusiasm and rally
the people to their duty than all of the
speeches that could be made during the
campaign. SPECTATOR.

THE BIGGEST THING YET.


To Make Silk and Wine one Of our Lead.
ing Industries, and that, too, ON Land
Which we Call Poor.
The CHRONICLE has information that
Mr.. Edward Fasnach, of Raleigh, who, as
everybody knows, is practical silk-grow-
er and a gentleman whose habit is not to
run wild" about anything, is in CORES
pOndence with prominent gentlemen in
France-some of them high official in the
French Government-looking towards the
establishment of an immense French col
ony in North Carolina The plan is to
purchase about $4,000 acres of mulberry
growing and vine growing land, and to
send picked and thrifty workmen to make
up, the colony.
The managers of the project have the
capital to carry it out and they have suf-
icient knowledge both of the habits and
peculiarities of their people and of the
silk industry to know precisely what they
are undertaking. The plan will probably
be for the company to purchase the Land
and to divide it up into small parcels and
sell it to the colonists; and to provide
them with supplies until the period of
pr3dte cpmae. II is not as gigantic an un-
dertaking as it seems The French peas
antry are both poor aud thrifty. A hun
dred or il need be thousand families
can be got who have money enough to
come here (on immigrant tickets) and to
pay for as much land as they can culti-
vate. A very plain but still a comforta-
BILE home can be built for 500 to 5000 in
Moore, Montgomery or Cumberland, pro-
vided the householder do his own work.
For the first half year it will require no
great outlay to feed them; and, after that,
they can partly support themselves from
their own gardens.
Out of French peasant family of five,
there are at least four workers, all thrifty,
all economical. Almost any French peas
ant would swap such a chance for his
present life. For, where he is, he most
likely does not own an inch of land.
The company will, of course, be the
purchaser or at least the jobber of all the
silk and wine; and it can enable the colo
nists to get cash for their products.
1t is a plan entirely practicable, for the
profits both of silk culture and wine-nak-
ing are very large, when these industries
are managed with skill and knowledge.
When, hundred years ago, cotton cul-
ture was begun in the United States, the
chance did not seem half so favorable as
the chance for silk-culture now seems.
When, within the memory of men now
living tobacco culture was begun in North
Carolina, there was superstition which
caused men to believe that it would not
grow outside of little charmed circle.
We are just beginning to discover what
North Carolina is and cannot yet get a
proper idea of what we can make of it.
Twenty years hence the wonder will not
be that we grow silk and make excellent
wine in great quantities, but that our
fathers before US never learned to do it

WASHINGTON, April 3.-According to the
last census there were 461 ,638 sheep in
North Carolina (there ought to be ten times
that number). The number of sheep own
ers is $4,000, so that it may be safe to say
the sheep have that many friends, and pro-
badly all voters and taxpayers.
The losses by the principal casualties are:
Killed by dogs, 7,710; died from disease,
AZ, 934; died from stress of weather, 8, 983.
Making the total loss of 1905 The
loss by dogs is 1O.3 per cent. and the to-
tai loss % per cent. of the whole number.
It is impossible to arrive at the definite
number of dogs in the State, but it can
be done approximately. There are $780,
900 families in the State, and it is fair to
presume that at least $50, 900 of them own
a dog, or average one, if so there are 25O,
600 dogs 1t has been said what it will
