BEET SUGAR
SUCCESSFULLY MADE In THIS

Two More Immense Sugar Factories to

the new industry.
(By United Press.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. 29.-Samples
of beet sugar have been received by the
secretary of agriculture from an Oxnard
factory at Grand Island, Neb, together
with reports to the effect that every
thing at the factory was running smooth
ly and that the quality of the beets was
very satisfactory. Of this latter fact
TIE department had already been ad-
vised by Mr.. Horton, one of the assist
ant chemists of the department, to
whom was assigned the duty of testing
the beets delivered at the factory, and
his reports have indicated very high
average Of sugar contents. The i'm
portance of this is not only an encourag-
ing indication of the adaptability of the
sugar beet to the American soil and
climate, but will be most directly en-
couraging to the producers.
Information has been received at the
department that the parties interested
in the factory at Grand Island are so
thoroughly satisfied with the result at
tained so far, that they have decided to
build two more similar factories.
AS these enterprises represent total
cash investment of million dollars, this
decision affords very good indication
of the confidence felt by the gentlemen
interested in these factories. The loca-
tions of the proposed factories have not
been decided upon The department is
progressing rapidly with its preparations
for the establishment of beet sugar sta
tions, one of which will undoubtedly be
established in Nebraska, and probably
in the vicinity of Grand Island, where
| every phase of the beet sugar industry
Will be tested, from the seed to the final
4 manufacture of the sugar Something
over thousand samples of sugar beets
have been received at the department
from parties to whom seed was furnish
ed last spring, and the analysis made OF
the samples so received indicate very
considerable b:lt Of country in which
the sugar beet can be cultivated with the
most success for the purpose Of sugar
making.
| 1t is said at the agricultural depart
meRt that the sugar produced from the
beet constitutes very large proportion
of the total sugar product of the world
] The increase in beet sugar produced II
| France and Germany last year over The
/ year previous exceeded in amount thu
4 entire Cuban product of the past year
| The Importance of this sugar beet pro
duction to the United States is suffi
GENTLY shown by the fact that our i'm
ports of sugar aud molasses for the pas
fiscal year exceeded one hundred mil
lion dollars over ST. so for every man
woman and child in the country.
In ST. Mary's township the whit
voters have a registration of 364, an
the colored registration of 261-a ms
jcrity of 101 for the whites.

are pretty we'll registered in the central
counties. The registration of the Dem
ocrats, for a new registration, is good.
The Legislature will be largely Demo
cratic. The Democrats will carry the
State by 10000 majority. In many
cases Republicans will not vote for their
nominees for judges Charles Price,
their candidate for Chief Justice, would
be disappointed if they did. He now
makes $4,000 year as United States
District Attorney and the regular paid
attorney of the Richmond and Danville
railway, aud he is not willing to give
that up for the $4,000 position of Chief
Justice. His only object in desiring to
be nominated for that position was to
put himself in line for appointment as
United States judge of the Western dis
trict. when Judge r. p Dick retires,
which he can do in two years. The
latter position is for life, pays $3, 500,
and will probably be made S., 600
place by the next Congress. Price is
really not Republican-in other words,
his Republicanism has been questioned
so he desires this endorsement from
the State Convention. Chairman Eaves
is against him and does not desire his
election. The reason for this feeling is
that when Eaves was seeking to be con-
firmed as collector of the Western dis
trict, Price told the President and others
that if Eaves was confirmed he would
indict him next day.

The Man Who Paid the Bill VOuches

Especial Cor. of STATE CHRoNICLE.)
There Is more truth than poetry in that
'possum matter and the two dollars, and
the Mckinley thing and "Bullet" and
the "Capital Club" referred to in your
paper of yesterday.
The 'possum was had, and was eaten.
and BULLET" did furnish him and did
charge 81 90 for him. the usual charge
heretofore being $1OO, but he didn't
make known his price until after the
'possum was devoured.
Your correspondents Treasury knows
more about that said 50 90 than the afore-
said mentioned prominent State officers
treasury, for Bullets" price paralyzed
your correspondent more than all others
present combined. When BULLET" was
hauled up about the price, he claimed
that there was good many "taters
around that 'possum.' Finding that
did not allay the storm about to raise
around him, he said: "Now, stop, boss,
let me tell you. know that was SOW
'possum, and wernt as big as that last
'possum got, but they tells me they's
passed law up in Washington that
doubles the price of every thing, and I
just thought twas time for dat 'possum
to rise double, too"
That settled it and the two dollars was
paid without further comment or objec-
ton, and your correspondent announ-
ces that the 'possum has scored the first
advantage in North Carolina under the
Mckinley Bill, for he will give bond and
security that no more 'possums will die
through Bullet" and the Capital Club
as long as the one dollar tax exists.

WINSTON, N. G, Oct. 2S, 1s9O.-This

Mr.. Leonard Anderson Vaughn to Miss

dience, by Rev. W. O. Norman. Mr..
and Mrs Vaughn are very popular young
people and their many friends all over

Tom Settle, it is said, will also be here

that Barber knocked off of him recently.
Tommy says the cold weather is mighty
hard on the fellow that gifts the fur
knocked off.
The people here are taking a great
deal of interest in the fight in Wake.
They have watched the war-paint the
CHRONICLE has had on ever since the
campaign opened, and it seems thicker

If fighting for Democracy does any good
the CHRONICLE, We think, will see it in
the coming election, not only in Wake,
where it has waged an earnest warfare,
but all over the State. If Mewborne

send solid delegation back to Con-
