COLORED PEOPLE AND
PROPERTY.

The next report of the State Auditor
will present the following facts about
the material prosperity of the colored
people in North Carolina:
"The property of the State is ap-
praised for. taxation every four years.
An assessment was made in 1891, and
again in 1895. In the former year the
aggregate value of the real and person
al property in the State owned by. its
white citizens, was 1924, log, 56S; in
1895 the total valuation as shown by
the forthcoming Auditors report, is
only 1922, 6S3, O57, or decrease of Sill,
1851. On the other hand, the az
gregate value 81 real and personal prop
erty owned by the colored people of the
State In 1891 was only $8,O18, 446; in
1895 this had increased to $8,18O,O74,
Or $16l ,62S more than it was in 1891,
and in spite of the fact that the valua-
ton of the property owned by the
whites had such remarkable fall off.

OIL FROM PEANUTS.

I A number of Pittsburg, Pa, capital.
lists have organized company to op
crate in Norfolk factory for extract
ing oil from peanuts. The Pilot says
"The company proposes to extract
the oil from peanuts for commercial
purposes, the residue being used by
confectioners and for cattle food. The
establishment of this industry opens a
new field of enterprise In the United
States, there being no other of the kind
here, and Prof. Atkinson, who first sug-
gested the use of cotton seed oil, says
4 rest my prediction that there is
greater potential future of wealth and
welfare in the peanut than there was in
the cotton seed but few years since
"The company has secured the An
derson mill property, foot of Lovltt av-
enue, Brambleton, and is actively en-
gagged in repairing and altering the
building, getting ready for the recep-
ton of their machinery, which is all
ready for shipment. It Is estimated,
that it will require six weeks to place
the plant in running condition, and
that it will be in full operation by Jan
uary LIST.
"The machinery is an entirely new
patent, originated by Mr.. w. E. Wealth
erby, who is to manage the business,
after several years of close application
to the subject, and visits to France,
and other sections, where the peanut
is utilized in the manufacture OF food
and oil. His rights are covered by let
tiers patent in the United States, Fr ance
Great Britain and Germany.
''The process is by cold pressure,
which is a great improvement on old
methods. The new method secures the
product against the danger Of becom-
ing rancid, which was the chief objec-
ton to the old method, where heat was
used.
"This industry will relieve the peanut
market OF the inferior, or colored nut,
which has hitherto been unstable, ex-
cept at very low price, but which has
always affected the sales Of. choice goods,
and furnish our farmers with home
market for stained goods, which does
not now exist.
"The factory will employ about Is
hands, largely girls and women. The
labor is light and not unpleasant"

worked selling the Perfection Metal
TIP Lampwick. I ordered a sample
and went to work and the first week, I
cleared $40, the second week I cleared
$15. I expect to run up to $25 week
in the near future, as the Perfection
Metal Tip Lampwick makes such
beautiful white light and does away
with smoky chimneys and bad odor
and saves oil, it is easy to sell. If'you
wish to try 1t send Is two cent stamps
to Miss "A. NJ. Fritz, Station A, St.
Louis Mo-, and she will send you sam
pie outfit. Thisis a good way to make
money around home.
