SUGAR BEET SEED FOR DISTRI
BUTTON.

BY the courtesy Of the Secretary Of
stimulate interest in the sugar beet IN
duStry, the Experiment Station will
have. for gratuitoUs distribution to
farmers in the different counties of tn"
State, several pounds of selected sugar
beet seed. In accordance with the
wishes Of the Secretary. the best seed
Will he distributed i'll North Carolina
only to those who promise to follow li-
r%ectiOns III regard to planting, cult
waiting. harvesting, and who Will send
samples for analysis, and give informa-
ton as to cost. The farmers who I'M
dertakc the work should be able to real
izc a good yield, and as the best is very
excellent for table Use and proves Il
aluable feed for stock. the farmer will
be fully repaid for his time and trouble.
North Carolina is not located in the
isothermal belt in which it is known that
the sugar beet is grown most successfully
for commercial purposes: but should be
able to grow q beet with q sufficiently
high percentage of sugar. this Will doubt
less lead to the erection of a factory III
the State. and there Will be many bene-
fits to come to our people in consequence.
The Experiment Station will be very
glad to receive applications for sugar
beet seed on the conditions above named,
ana to correspond with anyone interest

morrow will say:
1t was learned to-day in Pittsburg,

100000 tons of Pocahontas coal, and
with the Rhodes and Beidler Coal Com
pany, of cleveland, for the delivery
of 10000 tons of the Goshen coal of that
company.
The stipulation of the contracts Just
placed are that the coal so ordered
shall be delivered at the designated
coaling stations as soon as its possible
to do so and that the utmost secrecy be
observed about the matter.
In carrying out these contracts the
railroads play Il most prominent part,
and for the purpose of moving every
thing rs eXpediously as possible, Presi-
dent VI. +. ingalls,, of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad. Receiver Oscar G.
Murray, of the b. & O., and General
Manager l.. +. Torec. of the Pennsyl.

made and the government, it is under
stood agreed to pay a bonus to both
the coal miners and the railroads if the
100000 tons were delivered within a

The farmers of the Rich Square sec
ton have bought during the past 0
or five months about two thousand bush
els OF seed oats 1t prices ranging from
20 to 60 cents per bushel, and paid for
them with four and five cent cotton,
which it cost at least six cents a pound
to produce. The land Of this section
IS well adapted to small grain and there
should he no necessity for our farmers

Senator Billy Mason. of Illinois, is
hv far the most clustering jingo there
is in the Senate, which body he has
Gisgraced by conducting himself like Il
ward heeler. Senator HOar told the
truth when he said yesterday in his
speech in opposition to the Allen resc
luton that the foor of the Senate was
no proper place for angry discussion
of international affairs. The wild ha-
rlngue which Mr.. Mason delivered in
lhe Senate a few days ago was an in
suit to the Spanish government and to
the Spanish people and we are glad to
note fact that the respectable Jews

right and left for his attack upon what

If generally adopted, would compel an

The Post shows eonclusively thai
the territorial expansion Of Great Bri-

Then the Post shows that the Amer
