SOWING THE SEED
tion Yield Permanent and sat-
isfactOry Results.

A dozen years ago. when the good
roads agitation was started, and the
early workers began to sow the seed
that they hoped would bring forth
fruit q hundredfold. they had the ex-
perience that always falls to the lot
Of the sower-some seed fell upon good
ground; some fell where there was lit
tie depth of earth; some fell among
thorns, and others by the wayside.
1t was not expected that all seed
could be sown on good land, nor that
all which should be sown would spring
up to bear fruit. In such an undertake
ing it was more than ever necessary
to follow the example which nature
sets, and sow with wanton bounty, in
order that here and there some might
take root. In natures economy, pro-
vision to guard against loss and pre-
vent failure Is made with lavish
hand, and thousands Of blossoms and
seeds are blown hither and thither to
every one that rests in good soil and
terminates.
1t was thus with the doctrine of bet

Keeptng Milk Too Cold.

A representative OF a Maine cream
cry has been testing the skim milk OF
its patrons, and taking the tempera-
ture of the tank in which the deep cans
were placed for cooling and raising
the cream. Worry much to his surprise,
says the Maine Farmer, he found that
many OF them kept their milk too cold.
He found the skim milk most free from
butter fat when the temperature was
nearest to As degrees. At 80 degrees
there was from one to two-tenths OF
one per cent. more Of butter fat in
the skim milk than when It was lsept
ut As degrees or near that point.

PROGRESS.

A monthly, six!eeu-page
journal containing in each
number some twenty narra-
tives Of the South, chiefly
descriptive and pictorial.
The paper is undoubtedly
the best illustrated journal
in the world, and the only
publication which presents
glimpses Of Southern life
and Southern people. 1t
is a favorite souvenir with
, those who have visited the
South; and it serves a good
purpose, in lieu of a visit,
to those who have never
been there.
The regular price Of
Southern Progress is fifty
cents a year, but to introduce
the paper we will send it
three months for ten cents.

HUNTING FOR A CAMP
Col. Burgwyn and Maj. Davis
Looking up a Place to Light.
COURT MARTIAL HELD
BUT ITS DECISION CAN NOT BE
ANNOUNCED YET.
PUT ON GUARD DUTY WITH NEGROES
At Fort Mcpherson but Company N Does not
Kick. Unconhrmed Rumors that the Com
panies Will be Ordered Away.

Col. w. III. S. Burgwyn and Quarter
master Davis rode away yesterday after
noon toward the east or the west or some
where to find suitable place to take
the boys to on the next jaunt They
will be marched around occasionally here
after to get up an appetite for army
rations.
Col. Burgwyn did not say where he
was going, as he does not care to have
camp followers where he moves. These
same camp followers are somewhat OF
a nuisance at Camp Dan Russell as they
sell the soldiers all sorts of indigestibles.
The court martial yesterday tried
Private Baber for desertion. Lieuten-
ant Adams, Judge Advocate, prosecuted
and Lieutenant McAfee, of Captain Glib
sons company, was designated by Col.
Burgwyn to defend Baber. The defense
endeavOred to show, and the evidence
rather tended to show, that Baber was
totally ignorant of army regulations, that
he was persuaded by an older man to
he would only be kept in the guard
house few days for the offence. Ba-
Der came back and surrendered himself
voluntarily after an absence of twenty
days. This made it doubtful whether he
ever had the intention to desert, which
was necessary to establish his guilt.
The finding of the court martial will
have to go to department headquarters
and be approved before it can be made
public 1t is thought that the sentence
will be rather light in view of the ex-
tenuating circumstances above noted.
There was an unconfrmed rumor in
camp that Col. Burgwyn was shortly to
receive orders assigning the rest of the
companies. but up to u o'clock last
night these orders had not materaliZed.
The boys have been fooled SO often that
they are now inclined to guy any mem
bers who go back to camp with story
about being ordered away. They are
mighty keen all the same for such orders
to come.
Corporal Haskell who was detailed to
take two deserters to Fort MCPHERSON.
returned yesterday. He says Company
NJ has elegant quarters and numbers
many more privileges than while in
camp here They go in to the city and
stay until midnight and, said Corporal
Haskell, almost smacking his lips the
while, ''they only drill one hour a
day" The Corporal also said that there
were some negro troops stationed there
while he was at the fort. The boys of
Company Nj and the negro regulars
mount guard together and when they get
obstreperous are all slowed in the same
guard house. He said he did
not hear any of the boys complain of
this as a hardship. The company. he
stated, is greatly pleased anu would not
be back here for anything.

A LAND BOOM RIGHT.

The Stockholders in the Idlewild Prop
erty Made Nearly One Hundred Per
Cent.
About the first of 1891 fifteen gentle
men organized the Raleigh Land and
Improvement Company and purchased
the Bache and the adjoining Tucker
Martin property, lying between lakewood
cemetery and Newborn Avenue. con-
tanning about fifty cases. The land was
divided up into lots, streets laid out, and
the place given the name of Idlewild.
The incorporators of the company were

Each incorporation invested S4S3. The
officers of the company were {. Is. Ed

Yesterday in the office Of Mr.. w. y.
Jones. secretary and treasurer of the
company. the business of the company
was wound up, and a last dividend of
$500 paid to each stakeholder. This
was the twelfth dividend and made the
total amount received from the invest
ment SS15 for each share of stock, be-
ing nearly 100 per cent. profit i'll the
transaction.
This is the only land boom of which
there is any record that makes such Il
showing. and it shows that while Raj
eigh does not ''boom' in any inflated
sense. Raleigh dirt is valuable, while
other boom towns find that land is a drag
on the market.
