PRIZE POEM.

Alfred Williams & Co., of Raleigh,
offered a book prize for the best poem on
a North Carolina subject. The following
verses by Mrs. A. w. Curtis, of Raleigh,
\. c., won the prize:
NORTH CAROLINA.
Thou sittest like queen with cornal
OF dazzling beauty on the sunny brow:
The glorious mountains for thy lofty
The grand old Ocean lying at thy feet;
Thy jewels are the healing springs, that
lie
Like cleaning pearls upon they bounteous
breast.
From far and near, earth's weary pill
grims come
| A long procession, sad and heavy eyed
| To win anew the priceless boon of health,
From they Bethesda, angel stirred, and
| blest.
Deep in the bosom of thy mighty hills,
Dame Nature brews the elixir of life,
And pours it lavishly through riven
rocks,
In basins carved by no weak, human
hand;
And here and there, deep down the wood
land glens,
She sets her moss trimmed challces, where
those
Who quaff with fevered lips the cooling
draught,
Find health and vigor steaing through
their veins.
0, queenly State! lift up thy fair, proud
head
The while thy sons and daughters honor
thee.
And shine pure white star, whose light
shall be
Undimmed, through all the ages yet tc
come! Mrs. A. W CURTIS,
Raleigh, n G..

NO.15.

" olive oil of Nice" is refined table
oil Of a straw color. This refining is
very simple filtering process. The FL
ter consists of series Of boxes, one
above another, with perforated bot
toms. These are lined with layers of
cotton about an inch thick. No
chemicals are used.
No American is absolutely sure when
he pays his SO cents or more for pint
bottle or flask of imported salad oil
that what he gets is the oil of the
olive; for the cute foreign rehners and
shippers Of that article have found
that there is so little difference, chem
ically, between it and the oil from
cotton seed that they have for the past
8 or 10 years been good customers of
the American oil producers and have
provided against short crops and in
creasing demand for home and foreign
consumption by blending the oils of
the fruit and the seed, very much to
their own advantage and without
doing harm to anybody. In Italy this
combining process had reached such
dimensions that the government, fear
ing its effects upon the welfare of its
olive orchard owners, caused stringent
laws to be enacted for their protection.
But, in spite of these, cotton-seed oil
continues to be an export from this
country to Italy, and, as Consul Hath
away naively states it: "That the
adulteration of the olive oil, notwith-
standing the severe penalties of the
law therefor is to some extent prac-
ticed, is undoubted. The fraud is ac-
complished by mixing with the genu-
inc, the oil of the oleaginous seeds of
cotton, sesamum and others. Imme-
diate discovery OF the imposition ap-
pears impossible, although much study
has been given to the matter" (Con-
sui Hathaway had not probably heard
at the time he wrote-of Becchis
test, which was devised by celebrated
Italian chemist of that name for this
very purpose, and which has been pro-
nounced reliable by Prof. Wiley and
other distinguished chemists. 1t is
suggestive of possibilities in this con-
nection to note that while Italy fur
nished this country s42,I45 gallons of
olive oil in the fiscal year that ended
June 80, 1889, yet during the same
period we supplied her with 65,25o
gallons of cotton-seed oil, or somewhat
more than ten per cent. of the number
of gallons we took OF her oil. AS our
expectation of that article to Italy has
greatly decreased, it may be that the
vigilence of the Italian authorities is
interfering very decidedly with the
old-time practices Of the olive oil
iadulterators.
The value of the olive oil annually
consumed in this country at present is
about 81 ,ooo. 200. The value OF that
used annually in the world exceeds
S5o,ooo,ooo. If cotton-seed oil is as
good as olive for food and all other
purposes, then it will be greatly for the
interest of the South to give the widest
publicity to these facts, and to begir
and keep up vigorous competition fol
this valuable trade.

facture was not suppressed until long
time after everybody knew as well as
the officers themselves that the coun-
terfeit was manufactured somewhere
up the stream. The Big Sandy dol
lar" as the counterfeit was denomina-
ted, was as common as its more legiti-
mate brother from the mint at Wash
ington or New Orleans along the Ohio
valley, and it was claimed openly, and
| believe frequently admitted to this
day by the older people, that the Big
Sandy dollar" contained as much sill
yer and was as handsome q piece of
money as the genuine. Even long after
the discovery Of the coniackers' den in
the mountain the bogus dollar re-
NAMED in circulation. To account for
this the writer has been often told that
the counterfeiters had discovered a
vein or mine of silver in the mountain,
and that they were using pure silver
and more of it" than was contained in
the genuine. Be that as it may, the ira
dition still exists that silver mine
existed and was long worked at some
point on the Sandy.
/ believe none Of the counterfeiters
were ever arrested and the reason
given is that there was code of ethics
among the inhabitants which granted
every one the privilege of using his
raw material as he saw tit. The same
code prevails to this day in another
branch of illegal trade-that of moon

Like mist upon the mountains far,
Like moonlight on sleeping stream,

Our past lives seem.
Their memories elude our grasp,
Their events perish like the fowersi
In vain we stretch our hands to clasp
Those lives Of ours.
The Past how vague and shadowy ALL
Did we those misty pathways treadF
And they who answer not our call
The silent Dead,
Were they once with us as we deemf
Their images are fading fast,
Or is il but a cherished dream,
This phantom Past2
Comes there FROM hat shadow-land
Aught else but shapes as in a dream2
We greet no actual kindred band
We catch n CLEAN,
