commercial products. There

There is wealth to be made in
developing these resources

out of these uncultivated tracts

prices; fortunes to be made in
many ways III this Southern
country and for this reason we
call it the land of opportunity.

Keeps His Petriied Wife.

For sevetal years J. H. Rickel
has kept his two wives IN his
little carriage shop here, and the
women have never spoken TO

between them.

The living wife is her hus

The States War Claims.

Col. ]. c. l.. Harris, the act
ing adjutant general, went to
Washir gton, d. c. last week to
press the payment of the re-
naming State war claims
against the government.
It has been more than two
years slice these claims were
created, and yet there remains
something like ten thousand
dollars unpaid. Of this sum six
thousand dollars are claims OF
individuals, aud the claim of
the State amounts to four thou~
sand dollars.
The delay in the payment of
the claims of individuals has
been delayed by reason OF the
fact that the government de-
manded volumes of evidence TO
support their accuracy, and in
some instances it was difficult to
be had. All of the evidence has
been presented and it is believed
these claims will be paid at an
early date. The State claim OF
"a 900 must be secured by an
act of Congress. This claim
was for military supplies taken
by the North Carolina regiments
from the State arsenal.-Raleigh
