HOME FOLKS.

1t is with sincere regret we learn or
h death of Captain John S. Lock-
hart, one of Durham's most prominent
and useful citizens, and brother-in-law
Of our friend Colonel Julian S. Carr.
His death occurred on yesterday morn
ing. Captain Lockhart was a gallant
and faithful confederate soldier. and
served in the famous Stonewan jack
son brigade. He was in war and
faithful in times of peace. He was an
active member of the Methodist Church,
was a leading member Of the Masonic
fraternity, was prominent in business
and social circles. was long connected
with the tobacco trade Of North Caro-
lima and Virginia, and commanded the
confidence, admiration and affection OF
the people among whom he so long
lived. A valuable man is lost to Dur
ham n the state.

DR.. J. M. Worth, venerable for years
and a man of excellent sense. has
interested himself in behalf of a class
of women who have to earn their living.
He has established at his home, AShe-
boro, an enterprise that promises we'll
for the aid of the particular class
sought to be benefited. 1t is to train
girls and women for bread-winning at
better wages. He has started a move
ment worthy of attention, commenda-
ton and cooperation. Under his in
s~piration direction a charter to the
Asheboro Millinery, Mercantile and
Manufacturing Company has been OBJ
tanned. This is to be a womans' affair
strictly-they are to own and manage
and derive from it the entire profits.
The Asheboro Courier says of DR..
Worth and the enterprise:
although more h IS years old he
as still looked UP to as the leader In
the development of u town. and
his name coupled with any enterprise
is a guarantee of its success.
For some time DR.. Worth has been
thinking of doing something to give the
young ladies of this community an op-
Aortunity to learn how to make a HV
ing for themselves.
1T is a new enterprise for this Sec
ton, and the idea originated with DR.
Worth, who, while having no stock In

success, and while having many bust

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

The making Of beet sugar Is now the
talk. Our exchanges have broken out
afresh in discussing the sugar beet in
dustry. The importations Of this g
into our country is large. The depart
ment OF agriculture Is heavily pressed
with letters OF inquiry asking for seed
and instructions. Even the sugar trust
Is fixing it's basilisk eye upon the in
dustry. There is a stir. This country
grows every thing almost, and it can
surely make enough beets to produce
all the sugar that is needed for con-
xumers In the west-in California,
Nebraska, Kansas and other states this
industry has been largely developed
and made profitable. A greatly in
creased crop can be produced in tina
vast section. If the beet sugar pro-
duct Is more widely extended-and es-
Decially into the sOuth-in the y arti-
Gle Of sugar the United States can be
independent Of all other nations. The
crop cannot only be made Of enormous
size, but it can become a great money
producing crop. The consumption OF
sugar now is very great in this country
placed at 1000, 900 tons a year. OF
this nine-tenths are imported. SO 81
great field for production opens up.
Cannot the south enter into it also by
way of diversifying crops and multi
plying mean of profit?
The crop Of beet sugar last year is
estimated at 10000 tons. 1t will be
more this year, and will continue to
increase each year for some time to
come. But you will find the robber
agents bowling for a tax upon the peO-
pie who use sugar but do not produce
for the benefit of those who grow the
beets. 1t seems impossible for some
people to see no wrong, ne immortality,
no injustice in rObbing Peter to pay
Paul. or in taxing a hundred people to
advance the interest Of one man around
the corner. You will hear the whole
tribe opening for a high tax for the
beet sugar industry.
The attempt to make sugar beets in
Florida will be made. We do not see
why they cannot be grown anywhere
in the south. We do not doubt that
they can be p~rofitably produced in
North carolina. for it's soil and eli |

SHARPS AND FLATS.

IT looks now to- one who will Gaze
fully scan the political heavens that
the restoration Of silver by interna-
tionaf agreement is well-nfgh hopeless.
England will not agree because the
nations are her debtors, owing her
thousands of millions. Germany will
not move without England takes the
initiative, and those two powers can
control the movement Of other nations.
So the friends of bimetallism. if they
really desire and strive for the money
Of the constitution, will have to agree
to look no longer to foreign nations,
but to act Independently. There is a
very strong elemen in the republican
pacty-it may be a minority, but po-
tent-that is really strong for bimetal-
lism. If it co-operates with the $780,
600 men who voted for Bryan last year.,
and all pull together. they will carry
this country by the greatest majority
ever known-three or four millions.
The London Times predicts the failure
of an attempt to r~e-establish bimetal-
1ism.

The Pine Ridge Indians are petition
ing the government to allow them to
erect a monument over the graves Of
their dead warriors buried on the
Wounded Knee battle field, the shaft to
be lettered with the inscription that this
is the last battle field upon which the
Indians shall show hostility to their
white brethren. This is a reasonable
request and one that should be complied
with. The days Of Indian wars are
over. Wounded Knee is the spot upon
which the last stand OF Indians was
eyer made, and q monument there to
commemorate the fact should be erect
ed-Lead Tribune,
The Tribune takes q very hopeful
view Of the situation, which in our
opinion is not fully warranted. The
Indian has never gained rep for reli-
ability that would place him upon a
plane above the fear of his going wrong
when q favorable occasion presented
itself for him to raise hair, and while
il may be all right to permit the erection
Of the monument, it would certainly be
a wise provision to place them under a
heavy bond to live up to the terms OF
the inscription.

Aoportioning Public Funds.

Pierre, s. D., June 20.-The land COM
missionr's office has just made the June
apportionment of the interest and in
come fund for the common schools OF
the state, which fund goes to the various
school districts for expenditure in the
school expenses. The amount appor-
toned, sl04, ,227, is 81 per capita ON the
school children Of the state and is, in
total amount, the largest apportionment
ever made. One other apportionment
equaled it in the amount per capita, but
it did not reach the present sum in ag-
gregate. The counties which secure the
largest amounts Of this fund, based on
their school population are: Minneha-
ha. SC 4ol; Hutchinson, s4,359; Brown,
s4,24S; Turner, 81 ,l20.
The funds which belong TO the varl-
Gus state institutions OF the state will be
apportioned as soon as it is determined
who shall receive the funds. This will
be when the court finally settles the
regency case Until that time they will
be held awaiting the decision.

Smelter Matters.

Now that the grading for the smelter
is approaching completion a short idea
of the plant will be interesting to the
readers of the Express. The capacity
of the smelter at present will be two
stacks and three reverbsrtory and three
revolving rossters. The amount of ma.
terial to go into each stack per day will
be 100 tons, and Of this, with the class
of ore the smelter will have, will give
Is tons Of ore per day.
The track runs past the smelter and
then comes on the switch back, bring
ing the cars directly over the bins, of
which there are 40 the dimensions Of
each being 1920 feet. The ore is
dumped into these bins and runs from
there into a crusher, after passing
through this it is elevated by buckets
and passes through the sampling room.
Here it is automatically sampled, a
machine taking out certain percent
age Of the ore. Another sampler cuts
this down again and the residue is then
sampled. The rejected portion Of ore
after passing the samplers goes into
cars and is dumped into the smelter
bins. From the bins at the top of the
smelter the ore is taken in cars and
dumped into the side ore bins and from
there to the furnace, working through
schutss and allowing granitz to do the
work.
Cars of ore that don't go through the
sampling works are sampled in the
usual way, by throwing out every tenth
shovel full and reducing it to the
amount needed Tor sampling. The Only
shovelling of the ore after il is sampled
will be from the beds to the cars and
into the furnaces. The smelter will
employ large force Of men and will
run continuously after its erection and
the work has to be pushed for all it is
worth.
A train load consisting of o5 cars. of
machinery for the smelter will reach
Edgemont during the coming week, it
having already been purchased and or
dered shipped.
The grading for the big bins at the
smelter is finished and the teams are
now grading out the furnace ground
