AN old colored woman named
Middleton, living by herself in a
little house in the yard of her son
on the plantation of Mr.. Ben
Casey, this county, was burned
to death Monday night by the
house taking fire. She was 1O7
years old and her son is over
80.
Mr.. Lonnie Dali, of Fork town
ship, is authority for the fact
and he is reliable, that some
few weeks ago he set a steel
trap for some varnint that
was stealing his chickens in the
night. The next morning the
trap was gone, chain and all,
leaving only the stake over which
the chain ring was fastened, and
no trace of even the trail of the
chain could be seen. Subses
quently, some two weeks elaps-
ing, he heard a noise in his barn
yard, and going out he heard the
rattle of a chain about his chicken
coop. AS he approached with
his gun some dark object rose
and flew over his head. He shot
at it and brought it down, and ii
was an immense owl, with the
lost steel trap hung to its foot.

Gold and Silver in Colorado.

The figures published by the
Rocky Mountain News, of Den
yer, showing the production of
precious metals in Colorado for
the past year, Indicate that the
Senators from that State, who
are still harping upon silver. un-
der the impression that that is
the leading industry Of Colorado,
are as much behind the times as
Senators often are in other mat
tiers.
In 1892, the year before the
silver panic, this impression was
sound. Colorado produced in
that year $21, $50. 003 worth of
silver, at its commercial value,
and but IS, $50, 021 of gold. The
energies of the State had been
mainly devoted to silver mining
and to efforts to sell the product
to the government and the rich
deposits of gold had been com
paratively neglected. The res
peal of the Sherman law helped
to turn attention to the more
precious metal. and the rapid de>
velopment of the Cripple Greek
region has already put Colorado
at the head of the gold produce
ing States,
The figures shown by the Den
yer News make the total metallic
product for the year $39.473, 098,
divided thus: Gold, $18, COS. 900;
silver $16, $50, 900; lead, So, 648,-
IO92; copper, 1870, COG. The actual
product Of silver is about the
same as in 1892, but it has less
commercial value. Even at the
same rate, however, its value
would be still below that of the
gold, in which it is claimed that
Colorado leads California by
three millions of dollars.
The yield of the Cripple Greek
mines advanced month by month
from $4O0, 900 in January to ST.
1000, 900 in December and the
News believes that they will
yield this year SIS, 000.0 900 il
gold, the r having a richness
undreamed of even in South
Africa.
What is still more important
is that along with all this wealth
the general manufacturing in
dustries of Colorado have grown
at an astonishing rate, the value
of the product having increased
from less than thirty to more
than forty millions in a year ant
the amount paid in wages at {
corresponding ratio, while TIL

ling power the amount of the

pretty loudly itself, but this i!
, what it says now:

TOBACCO NOTES.

safest, the cloth costs very little

The Goldsboro Tobacco Ware

desire to raise tobacco, with seed

In the preparation of plant
beds care should be taken not to
dig the soil up, that is. to turn
the underneath soil on top. The
bed should be thoroughly pull

best covering. Any merchant

hasn't it in stock.
A deep rich soil, OVERLAPPING a
red clay sub soil is best suited for
dark heavy shipping tobaccos.
A gray, sandy, or slaty top soil,
with a yellow porus sub soil, is
best for yellow wrappers and
smokers. These grades are in
great demand and command bet
ter prices than any other.

it a fair trial and the attention 1t
must have.
If you have never grown
tobacco before plant only q
small quantity, say ore or two
acres, cultivate it thoroughly
and make UP your mind to make
a success of what you plant and
you will succeed. There is lots
of money in tobacco, but it re

don't push things these days gets

The Goldsboro tobacco marke'

paid for tobacco and the price
has been kept up TO the stand

STEEL WAS USED.
The Secret of the Bullet proof
Coat

The Secret of the BuIlet-prooi
Coat.
Steel is still the best material
for stopping projectiles, and from
special steel of special hardness
very great resisting power is now
| obtained. 1t will be remembered
how great sensation was pro
duced some time ago by a German
who brought to London and eX-
hibited his so-called "bullet-proOf
clothing" This, when produced,
resolved itself into a "cuirass, "
much too heavy and stiff for wear.
1t was OblOng in shape, and large
enough to cover the body; it was
apparently about three inches
thick, and looked much like a
rather substantial carriage cush-
ion. Many experts were genu-
inely puzzled by it, but the inven>
tor did not show the readiness to
have it examined and tested by
independent hands which might
have been expected. Mr.. Maxim,
who is second to no man as prac-
teal authority on the qualities of
materials, promptly declared that
a specially prepared steel was the
one substance capable of afford
ing. within the limit of weight
given, the. resistance shown by
the cuirass. The pretence that
the substance of the latter was of
Il fibrOus nature, and not metallic,
though upheld by explicit declara-
lions that it contained no metal of
any kind, became discredited |
when it was found that even the |
electric test to prove the
presence of metal was not faced. |
when the German inven-
tor had filled his pockets with the
gold of the British public, and re,
to his happy Fatherland,
some emplOye revealed the secret,
and there were many who were
not surprised to learn that small
steel plate in the centre of the
cuirass, with a rim round it to
catch the splashes from the bull
cts, was the main element in the

ANOTHER CABLE
SCHEME PROPOSED

Sperry Of Connecticut with a view to
connecting the United States with Ha-
wall. japan and Siberia by means of a
telegraphic cable. According to the
terms of the measure the main line of
the Occidental Oriental and Oceanic
Cable and Telegraph Company is to
begin at some suitable point 10 the
state of Washington, and thence ox-
tend nOrthward by cable along the bot
tom of the sea to either Sitka or Jun
eau. From this point it will go 20 ST.
Paul or Kadiak Island thence by way
of Ounalaska to some convenient island
in the Aleutian group, where a connec-
ton can be made with the Siberian
telegraphic system From this point a
connection is to be established with The
telegraph system of Japan. The entire
length Of the system is not to exceed
4 900 miles
Provision is also made for a branch
cable from some point in California to
the Hawaiian Islands by u route = 200
miles in length, and there will be
branch lines from the main line first
described to such points in Alaska as
may require telegraphic communIca-
ton. Precedence is to be given the
Government of the United States in the
transmission of messages, and in case
OF war or any great emergency the
United States Government may assume
entire control of the various lines or
any part.
All cables wire materials and sup
plies needed or used in the construction
of the various lines shall be made and
purchased from citizens of the United
States, all articles having been manu-
featured in the United States or it's !
