Canning Embellishments.

WELDON. n. c., Feb. 90 Special. There
was one fruit and vegetable canning establish
ment operated in this county last year and 1t
did profitable business. IL Will probably be
operated again. There IS no better Locality
than this county in which II establish indus
tries of this kind. The climate is suitable,
labor is cheap the capital necessary for con-
ducting the business small and the cost OF the
machinery Is moderate There ~ plenty OF
room for MANY establishments Of this kind.
The last Legislature passed an act making
it msdemeanor for any person TO sell seeds
which did not have the year OF their growth
STAMPED on the packages. Many nursery
men have complied with the law. but one
firm did not. and will test the CONSTITUTIONAL
" Of the law in the courts. In Wilmington q
few DAYS ago a merchant who retalled the
seeds of this firm was arrested tor violating
the law. and the case is now pending. The
arrest and other proceedings were by consent
of all parties interested. IN order that the ques-
ton might be legally decided.
Two burglars who have broken into several
houses at Rocky Mount have been arrested
and both have confessed TO several bur

Mr.. David Molly. Of Wilson. has recently

offered $3.50. 600 for the patent. The other IS
an automatic freight-car brake. which Is said
to be the most complete of its kind ever made.
The continued wet weather has very much
retarded farming operations of every kind.
In the Scotland Neck section and IN Pitt and
other trucking counties the truck farmers
are not in good spirits. The truck they have
planted. especially potatoes, Is rotting on ac-
count of the rains and the want of sunshine.
The crop will probably be late, as much re-
planting will have to be done.
