Vegetable and Fruit Canning in
North Carolina.

The canning industry is a big
thing. Why North Carolina has
not gone into it more extensive
ly is an unexplained mystery,
unless it be a want of enterprise.
We have stood in a grocery store
in this city and seen the canned
vegetables on the shelves from
Maine. A gentleman stand
ing by us, said: II have been
where those vegetables are made,
and I assure you they are grown
in soil that had to be imported
so rocky and barren was the
land" Think of that. Going to
the frozen regions for vegetables
with such a soil, climate and ad-
vantages as North Carolina has.
Marvellous ! Let North Caro-
lima do better. Let the people
grow more fruits and more veg
etables and can them. It pays
elsewhere, why not III Our own
State =? North Carolina can work
nearly the year round, while
Maine has a short summer and
much more barren soil. All over
the middle and eastern sections
there ought to be canning estab'
lishments. Wilmington shoule
be putting up for market oyster:
and vegetables to supply remote
markets. Other sections can &C
a safe, renunerative business II
fruit growing and fruit canning
| Why not? Let lazlness anc
thriftlessness answer. The ad
vantage in canning is that TIL
original outlay to begin is small
Men of small capital can enbarl
in it. But the thing to do is t.
learn how to do It. Get the RICH

SAVING SEED AT HOME.

The following item from the
Warrentou Gazette contains some
pretty large chunks Of truth:
"AIr. Walter Plumner saved
three bushels Of turnip seed last
fall and sold them this spring
for about enough money TO buy
a years supply of sugar. Truly
to the wise has the time passed
for despising the day OF small
things. We send north yearly
thousands Of dollars for seeds
that ought to be saved at home.
In fact, it looks as if we send
North for everytlling-and the
wonder is that We are not poorer
than We are-and that We are
not poorer than We are is a proof
that, naturally, ours is the best
country in the world"

A Word to the Boys.

If you have anything to do, do
it at once. Don't sit down in the
rocking chair and lose three
quarters of an hour in dreading
the Job. Be sure that it will
seem ten times harder than it
did at first. Keep this motto:
Be on time in small things as
we'll as great Habit is every
thing. The boy who is behind
time at breakfast and school,
will be sure to get "lett' in the
important things of life. If you
have a chronic habit of dreading
and putting off things, make a
great effort to cure yourself.
Brace up? Make up your mind
that you will have, some back
bone. Don't be limp, Jelly fish
kind Of person. Depend upon
it, that life is very much what
YOU make it. The first thing to
decide is what are You going tC
make it. The next thing is to
take off your coat and go to work
Make yourself necessary some
where. There are thousands OF
boys and young men iii the
world who wouldn't be missed il
they We're to drop out of it to-
morrow. Don't be one of this
sort. Be power i'll your own
little world, and depend upon it
then the big world will hear
from you some day.-.Standard.

PROSPEROUS AND PROCESS
SIyE NORTH CAROLINA.

Never before in North Caro-
lina's history have so many IN
dustries and manufactures been
established or started as during
this wear. This IS especially
true in regard to cotton factories.
All over the State old cotton
mills are being enlarged and
new ones constructed. Hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars are
being invested i'll these factories
and consequently paid out to
|lzborers and wage earners and
circulated among a class Of PEG
pie who need all they can get.
And, of course, these factories
are not only Of great beneilt to
those directly employed in their
construction or operation, but al
so to the entire community IL
which any one of them IS sit
uated. The farmers III the sur
rounding country are greatly
| benefited by a factory neal
| them, because it affords them
lhone market for the products o
| their farms.
| And while gratihed at these
practical proofs and substantial
Isigns of reviving business ant
returning prosperity, let us no
forget that all this is occurring
Iwithin less than year after tn
passage of the Democratic tart
law, which its enemies predlcte'
would ruin the country and de
. stroy all industries!-Plttsbor
