OF artisan water supplies In different
portions of this region. Some years
ago it was claimed, even by biologists,
that artesian water supplies were not
possible in eastern North Carolina; but
the present geological survey has Ia
ken a different view of the matter and
advised the boring Of an artesian well
ct Wilmington several years ago The
low of water was successful from a
depth OF 500 feet, but the water was
salt in character, and owing to some
accidents to the machinery, the project
was abandoned for the time. 1t has
recently been taken up again, how
ever. and the Clarendon Water Works
Company is new sinking a 12-inch we'll
and has made contracts for carrying
it to a depth OF $500 feet, il necessary.
There is every a to believe, how
ever, that good supplies of water will
be secured at a depth OF certainly less
than 1000 feet, and probably nearer
1000 feet. The first pronounced sue
cess in this direction was a we'll bored
under the advice of this survey at Hope
Mills, in Cumberland county, and this
has been followed up by a number of
successful behring's in Cumberland,
Robertson, BIaden, Columbus, Craven,
Hyde, Edgecombe, and some other
counties, as at Wrightsviile beach, in

AS to the irrigation and drainage of
lands in eastern counties, the report
says: This is another important sub
ject for the eastern counties which has
received attention from the Survey dur
ing the past year, n it is hoped to
continue some Investigations along this
line during 1898. Our surveys have
demonstrated the fact that in quite a
umfber OF cases the small lakes which
exist in man. of u eastern counties
are sufficiently elevated above con-
siderable tracts of land to permit the
water being drained off from these
lakes and swamps and being used for
irrigation of crops which may be grown
upon those lands. In connection with
this investigation we are also endeav-
oring to show that in many cases there
are swamp areas of land which, by the
| combined use of bitches and cheap
wind mill pumps, these lands may be
relieved of their surplus Of water dur
ing the wet seasons, and by the use OF
the same wind mill pumps and surface
reservoirs, they may be irrigated, in
especially dry seasons thus making il
| possible to use these lands for truck-
ing or other agricultural purposes in
UGH a way as to make them independ-
ent of the changing seasons. several
prominent truckers have shown THEN
interest in this work and will coop
crate with the survey during 1898 ir

ON A BIG SCALE
The States Purchase Of the Castle Haynes
Farm and Phosphate Mine tn be Consum
ated-Mining, Rice Planting, Trucking
and Farming to be Carried on With Con
victs on a Large Scale

MI. VIM. H. Chadbourn, chairman Of
the executive committee of the state
penitentiary, tells us that the state a
made arrangements to consummate the
purchase of the Castle Haynes planta-
ton and phosphate mines, bid in at
SIG, 600, by Mr.. Chadbourn, for the pen
tertiary, at the auction sale in this city
on the eth Of last June. There are 500
acres of land in the tract, and besides
the valuable phosphate mines and mill,
there are some Of the finest farming
and trucking lands to he found any
where in the state. The farm lies on
the North East river, and is situated
on the Wilmington and Weldon Rail-
road, nine miles from Wilmington.
Mr.. Chadbourn informs US that the
state expetcs to farm here on an ex-
tensive scale, and that from $50 to 200
convicts will be worked. Crops of Irish
potatoes, peanuts, corn and cotton are
to be put in, and after the potatoes are.
gathered, a large area will be planted
in straw berries.
The state has also leased the Sam
ders farm across the creek from the
state farm, and will operate it in con-
nection with the Castle Haynes prop
erty. There are 300 acres in this tract.
1t has also leased from the Navassa
Guano Company 80 acres of fine rice
Lands on the Cape Fear river. near the
railroad bridge al Meares Bluff, and
rice planting will be engaged in along
with the other crops mentioned. Cas-
tie Haynes will be made the ~headquar-
tiers for the convicts. and Mr.. Chad
bourn says it is the intention to make
h operations a model diversified farm.
The farm will be supplied with on
victs as Don as cotton picking is over
be commenced at ice in the phosphate
mines on the Castle Haynes property.
Phosphate % for the manufacture of
fertilizers and limestone or shell
rock for street and road building will
Se mined on an extensive scale. We
are Uniformed by Mr.. Chadbourn THAI
he has offers for all Of either products
that he can mine. The phosphate mill
at the mines is now being repaired.
The building is to have a new founda-
ton, and viii be re-shingied. The ma
terial for h work has already been
delivered. The old dyer. used for dry

also to be placed in the mine for hoist

will be made q big 9 Mr.. Chad

of his explanation of cube root to a

Bob entered removing bits of sod and
adhering pine cones from his tangle

The girls shared to considerable

who had been inseperable friends
from babyhood, fell out and did not

finding Pussy in mingled state of
wrath and tears one day at the sight
of Sally and Sue Perkins going by
with their arms linked in tender and
confidential manner-Sue Perkins
whom neither Pussy nor Sally had
ever been able to abide to
demonstrate
isn't it rather ridiculous, Pussy,
to quarrel with Sally about such
small matter? Hadn't yo1 better
make np?" she asked.
Make up indeedr' said Pussy,
wiping her eyes Indignantly and
glaring feroclously after the new
madefriends. Il shan't sacrifice my
principles for any girl! the mean
whigw and her mother seeing her SO
much in earnest patted her consoling
ly and replied:
"Well, we'll, we'll wait awhile;'' and
she half sighed, half smiled to her
self. A trying time she had of it,
poor Mrs Leighton, what with the
Squire and Dick and Pussy!
Il shall he glad when the election
is over" she secretly avowed to her
self. But then Mrs. Leighton was no
politician.
General Harrison had once lived
in log cabin, and this fact was made
much of during the campaign. This
manner of dwelling was talked about
as something meritorious, and there
! was campaign song the refrain of
which ran,
And the log cabin candidate shall
march to Washington"
1t was sung to the music of ''The
Blue Bells of Scotland" and the whig
boys were very fond of singing this
| song and wanted to sing it in
school. but Mr. Wilson would not
consent unless the boys on the oppo
site side could be allowed to sing
their "Locofoco" songs, as they were
called. To this proposition neither
party would agree. for what boy
having grain of spirit could sit
calmly at his desk and hear the oppo
site party sing their campaign songs
Nol silence was preferable.

There's going to be a bully log
cabin procession Fouth of july said
Bob one day 'It's going from Dut-
ton to Boytown and comin' through
Hartland. Three log cabins and two
miles long! sumner, You bet" Bob
exaggerated as to number and length,
but it is, as we all know, the habit of
politicians to exaggerate.
Dick smiled incredulously, though
qaaking inwardly lest Bob's statement
might be true.
SIS 1t so, father?' he asked that
night. "Are the wings a-goin' to
have a log-cabin procession?"
Il believe so,' replied the squire,
looking very black himself.
Dicks heart swelled within him as
he thought Oft. Was he to be COM
PEELED to witness such a triumph on
the part of the wings? He felt it was
an insult, deep insult to every de-
mocratic boy IN town, to say nothing
of the democratic men-though he
did not much concern himself about
thera; the men could take care o.
themselves. And on the Fourth OF
July, too the day when-when-Dick
conldn't recall exactly what did hap
pen on that day to make it the Fourth
of July; but it was sufficient to know
that it was day devoted to fire
crackers and powder and general
good time. And who can have good
time with log cabin procession
marching through town, right under
ones nose, as it were?
What was liberty wort if the wings
could do as they chose and the demo
Gratis couldn't stop 'em? He felt yer!
much like proposing to the res
of the democratic boys to go fish
ing for the day to Monponsett Pond
three miles away, where neither sigh
nor sound of the passing procession
could reach them.
But it must be acknowledged, tha

dent, felt It would be tremendon
