A new DEPARTURE
"A Large Irrigation Plant to
be Established.
The Extensive Strawberry Farm Of the Contin-
entail Tobacco Company to Lead All
Competitors.
Henderson. N. c., March

Henderson. N c., March 20.
We learn that a large irrigation plant
will be established during the coming
summer at Kittrell by the Continental
Plant Co. 20. w. Blacknall & Sons).
Water will be raised by steam power
from adjacent streams to irrigate the ex-
tensive strawberry farms of that COM
pany..
n. This is something new in the east and is
established to render their business indie
pendent of drought or rather of rain. For
tunately there is plenty of water accessi-
bles 1t seems to be less known in North
Carolina than in any other State in the
Union that we have right here in Vance
county the largest business of its kind in
the world. But it is true nevertheless.
The Continental Plant Co. are the
largest shippers of strawberry plants in
the world..sA full crop with them repre-
sents fifty million (50,Oe0 ,O0O) plants.
They have shipping trade for plants
that covers every State in the Union and
many foreign countries
Although they make speciality of
plants they are also large shippers of
strawberries-the largest on New York
market. In picking time one thousand
(1,000) pickers are employed and they
ship as high as thirty-two thousand (32,-
O00) quarts of strawberries day.
Their case well exemplifies the virtue
of printers marlborough advertising
When it was found last fall that the
Exposition site at Charleston would wipe
out vast strawberry fields there planted
on leased land, the growers at once placed
by wire an order at Kittrell for nine hun
dred and fifty thousand (950,000) plants.
When Clara Barton went to the relief of
stricken Galveston she found that the
great. storm, besides annihilating a city
had wrought havoc among the strawberry
growers along the coast, and even far in
land, and she resolved to start them in the
world again by free distribution of straw
berry plants to reset their ruined farms.
Within an hour after this decision was
made an order had reached Kittrell for
one million (1,000,000) plants.
The only journal in the world devoted
exclusively to the strawberry is publish
lation. During the next twelve months
1000, 900 pieces of strawberry literature
will be mailed there.

before his graduation. He returned to his
native county and was made principal
III ,tl,ei Warwick Academy. He was
elected to the Legislature of 1898 by a
Democratic majority of ten votes. Al
though small majority, the Democratic
gain was large for it was the first time
that the county had been carried by the
Democratic party for four years. There
was negro majority of 200, and two
years previous to that the Republicans
had carried the county by majority of
