PROFIT IN BERRIES.

A few days ago we printed the state
nent that Mr.. r. H. Perry, who lives
near Raleigh, sold the thirty-tive bar
rels of berries grown on three-quarters
of an acre for $SO9.54. and asked who
could beat Mr.. Perry's record.
The Mt. Oliver Advertiser, published
in the heart of the trucking section,
copied the article about Mr.. Perry's
experience and says:
Assuming Mr.. Perry used the aver
age sized barrel which will hold two
and a half bushels, We find that he had
a yield of $500 quarts per acre, which
would only attract attention in Berry
dom by it's insignificance.
..Mr. J L. Aaron, of this place. ship
ned / .4O5 crates from six acres, an aver
age WELD of 7,4SS quarts per acre, and
Ne estimates that at least 300 crates in
addition to the above rotted in the
& fila because of excessive rains
1--WE suppose Mr.. Perry retailed his
brFf;es in Raleigh at an average of
aboA II cents quart, or 1896 per acre.
Mr.. aaron sold his crop at wholesale
in Northern markets ana ms returns
figure b. fraction over $ioS per acre.
Had il been possible for Mr.. Aaron
to have ratailed his berries at the same
price as Mr.. Perry received, his re-
turns would have been $S23.6S per acre !
eff and lie and ''if' does not meet
the issue. Mr. Perry, of Wake, got
S30954 for the berries grown on three
quarters of an acre. while Mr.. Aaron
in the heart of the berry country, got
s4OS for his acre, only $12 more per acre
than Mr. Perry received.
This incident teaches that farmers in
Wake county do not need to wish for
tho carly season and Northern markets
to make money on strawberries.

A VALUABLE NUMBER.

The North Carolina Booklet for July
contains an article on 1.-THE Stamp ACT
on the Cape Fear" by Col. y. NJ. Wad-
dell. 1t will be remembered that when
DR.. Houston, the stamp master, came TO
Wilmington the people with drums beat
ing and colors flying took him to the court
house and made him resign, and with
mournful cortege burned the effigy of lib
erty; and later seven hundred men with
arms in their hands under their chosen
leaders, Ashe and Waddell, marched to
from the Governors residence and made
them swear not to issue any stamps, and
forced the British sloops of war to re-
lease two merchant vessels they had
seized because their papers We're not
stamped. This hostile demonstration
against the Royal ships of war was far
time elsewhere in America. Indeed, the
whole affair was unique and picturesque
no less than bold and resolute. Col. Wad-
dell has given a graphic recital, in his
trenchant and interesting style, Of this
notable event in the early history CT
North Carolina. 1t ought to be read and
re-read by all North Carolinians and put
into the hands of all school children.
This is the third monograph of the
North Carolina Booklet" The first was
Virginia Dare by Major Graham
Dawes, and the second Colonial New
bern" by Mrs Sara Beaumont Fletcher

MODIFIED" Is GOOD.

The editor of the Spartanburg Herald
recently appointed postmaster by NC
Laurin and Mckinley, says in his paper:
1--WE do admit, however. that our views
on some of the new issues that have
come to the front recently have been mod
flied. We recognize the fact that there
is much to be said on both sides of expan-
sion and ship subsidy, and without blind
" condemning these issues merely be-
cause they are advocated by the Repup-
licans, we have urged the Democrats to
consider them"
A Federal office, properly salaried,
seems to have caused several newspapers
TO have their views" recently "modi-
fed"

INGENIOUS FARMER WILSON.
(Chicago Journal.)

Good old Farmer Wilson, the Secretary
of Agriculture, bears to the nation',;
eager ears the cheering tidings that the
sugar trust is about to be smashed and
ruined How is this much desired result
to be produced? Why by the extension
of the beet-sugar industry.
1.-THE trust says Mr.. Wilson, will
vanish then, for the reason that it refines
imported brown sugar, while all the Am
erican factories will furnish the finished
product and place it in entire readiness
FOR sale on the markets"
AS the American Sugar Refining Com
pany owns all rhe beet sugar factories
in the country and will own all that may
hereafter be built, il is evident that
Farmer Wilson should stick to his weevils
and leave the field OF financial and eco
nomic speculation to Brother Gage.

WILSON'S GOOD RECORD.

The Wilson News says that the list
takers of Wilson township have ascertain
ed by the listing of personal property for
taxation that the increase in the amount
of personal property in that township ag-
pregates 5000. 600. Much building has been
done in Wilson during the past year and
the News thinks 1.-The increase in the
value of the total property listed over
last year will be about $780, 600 I"
The population Of Wilson by the Last
census was 1926. The increase Of as
sessed property OF one half a million dol
lars in one year in town of that popu-
lation is remarkable 1t is to be doubted
if any such showing has been made by
any other town of like population in the
country. We speak not of the figures
that go into boom tables, but figures
placed on the tax books upon which taxes
will be levied.
If any town can show such an increase,
let us hear from it. This assessment not
only speaks volumes for the growth and
prosperity of Wilson but also for the hon
esty of its people as WELL
What town can beat it?

1t is the duty of the presiding judge
TO exercise a supervision over attorneys
in the conduct of their cases in court.
He should, never, for instance, allow
witness to be badgered nor party to a
suit to be unduly abused by the lawyer
on the other side. But judge Is gong
rather far when he summarily dismisses
witness from the stand before his testi-
mony is finished and commands the law
yer who is conducting the examination to
sit down, simply because, in the courts
opinion, some of the question asked are
immaterial. Judge Robinson's treatment of
Attorney Norris in Wake Superior court
on Friday was without excuse, and Mr..
Norris had cause to feel indignant.

its size in the State, and only about
fifteen small tracts Of land are advertised
each year for sale for taxes. The county
has population of over q 900. divided

returned only s4.06 each year as insolvent.
Our tax rate is the lowest in the State,
