AMERICAN RICE,

and is Accomplishing For
the Rice Grower.
Cor. Wilmington Star.
Dear SIR Less than a year
ago, and upon short notice, there
assembled at Lake Charles, La. !,
a convention of rice growers, rice
factors and rice millers-in short,
all those interested in the rice in
dustry, throughout the gulf coast
sections of Louisiana and Texas,
where within the last few years
rice growing has made such phe-
nomenal strides, and where the
industry has now reached such
proportions that statement as to
the total expenditure in irrigating
canals, rice farms and rice mills
would sound like 'sa fairy tale. >
This convention (Which l be-
lieve to be the first organized Of
fort in behalf of rice at large ever
made in America) proved so con-
genial, SO instructive and so thor
ougbly satisfactory from every
standpoint that great efforts were
at once made to perfect per-
manent organization; SO there and
then, amid such sentiments as
"Rice is an American staple
food, nutritious and economical,
aud it's increased consumption is
to the interests Of the consumer
as well as the producer. Until
rice is recognized as staple ar
ticle of food, and the cost of
handling, from the producer to
the consumer is placed on the
same basis, as the great staples,
whose equal, if not superior it is,
it is a discrimination, preventing
the maximum Of consumption in
the United States" j."
The Rice Association of Amer
lea was born, inviting all those
interested in the success of Hrice
in America" to lend hand, and
become one of US, in placing the
industry on as sound basis as
our own loved country rests.
While not quite year has
elapsed since that eventful day.
it would stagger the most SAN
guine to realize how much has
been accomplished and the good
thus far derived.
When we reallZa the area of

Where wealth accumulates and men

Princes and lords may flourish, or

Mr.. Balm, of smithfeld, was visit

visit to Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Sasser,
the latter of whom is confined to her
room with rheumatism, her many
friends regret to learn.
On account of the scarcity of corn

of our neighbors have sent us back
bone and spare ribs, for which we
are thankful. Small favors thank

for all purposes is one made from
the heart of an old-feld-twisted
pine, When rails made of this are
placed on a fence, they make a
twisting crack, SO that when pig
goes in on one side, instead OF going
through the crack, he comes out on
the same side he went in, every time.
We want to say that we endorse
every word said by Prof A. r. Nor

regard to the disgraceful Midway at
State Fair. Decent people go to the
Fair to see the products of our
State, and meet old friends, and
make new acquaintenances, and have
a good time, and return home full of
enthusiasm, and not to witness
scenes which would put to shame
the Bowery of New York. If such
things are tolerated, decent people
have right to protest.

WHAT GOOD ROADS MEAN.

The gu Of good roads is
now up ~ Board of County
Commisslon IS Of Wayne and the
Goldsbor Cham Der ofCommerce,
and next Monday is the day to
take the in'''ative step.
Man is greg earious animal and
tends to hero with his fellow. If
he cannot get to him in the rural
districts, be seeks him in the als
ready crowded towns. In Penn
sylvanis, New York and Ohio
and in the far West the people
have contributed largely to the
building Cf public roads and the
result has been that rural life has
it's charms in them. A light road
wagon and pair of horses take
the young people to church or
ssdances in the barn." The public
schools are reached by good
roads that defy ordinarily bad
weather. The ruralists mingle
with one another 'every day and
Sunday, too." and neither desire
nor seek the ferYid excitement
of city ways and atmosphere.
II Wayne county wants it's
ruralists to remain satisfied and
to become as enlightened and
progressive portion of the body
polite as they should be, it must
have good roads built for them.
Otherwise the first fall rain
makes the way to school, church
Or dance impossible and the high
spirits of the young men and wo-
men fret and seek to burst the
narrow social bounds Of dull
and monotonous life. Their elders
grow duller and duller and the
farms become living terror to
the young man or young woman
of the slightest tendency to
cultivation.
Build good country roads and
the brawny young farmer will
find pleasure at home. In the
springtime he will enjoy the
thrilling merriment OF mating
mocking birds and the pic-nic
gathering at the country meeting
house. In the fall he will clear
the floor Of the big barn and have
the other young people with him
at a Thanksgiving dance. He
will be able to go somewhere and
see somebody because a good
horse, a good road and good
gig will take him flying to the
com mon mingling places.
So many fundamental PROPOSE
tions of life are SO simple that
they are lost sight OF in the
developments forced on the
world by civilization, and some
times the developments and exs
crescencies produce such an
enormous growth OF leaves
and branches that one is
rapt in admiration of the beau
tiful tree tops above, forgetting
that all the ma jesty Of coloring
and outline, that gorgeousness of
blossom and leaf and that super.
abundance of fruisage come from
the gnarled trunk that acts as con-
duit for life-giving sap and from
the buried and ugly roots which
gather from the parent earth the
chemical properties that make
trunk, branches, flowers and all
possible.
Good roads will settle the rural
question and relieve the congested
cities, because good roads will
alone bring ruralists in close
touch with one another aud afford
them the opportunity of frequent
social, church and civic utter
miuglings. Good roads is fun.
damental proposition, for good
roads mean happier peop'e and
happiness produces good govern
want

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The cheers that
greeted the Duke and Duchess of Corn
wall and York today as they passed on
the return from their world tour, through
the crowded streets of London were in
termingled with the shrill cries of the
newsboys shouting: Terrible disaster in

All the way to Marlborough house the

LAKE LINES CLOSE
NOTICE THAT WEsT-BoUND
FREIGHT WILL be SHUT
~ OFF NOV. %
INSURANCE EXPIRES DEC. 5.
Lines Will Not Accept Freight That
Cannot BE Handled Promptly
and Cleared Up by
Closing Time.

q Notice has been given by number Of
the different lake lines that Nov. % will be
the last day on which freight will be re-
ceived at New York, Boston, Philadef-
phia and Baltimore, to be transported by
steamer from Buffalo to Chicago to Chi
cago, Milwaukee, Gladstone and Duluth.
This is about the usual time for the
shutting off of wsst-beund freight, that
enables all freight to get to Buffalo in
time to catch the last steamer coming
West
The east-bound freight will probably DC
shut off about the same time-althougn
boats have been known to leave Chicago
and Milwaukee as late as Dec. IL.
The marine insurance on all freight eX-
pires promptly at II o'clock loon of Dec.
5. All insurance contracts are Cancelled
at that time.
Shippers, however, have in the past
been able to make special contracts with
insurance companies at a considerable
higher rate, covering period between
Dec. 5 and 10. The rates on these occa-
sionS have usually been eXorbitant, and
shippers do not care to pay such high
premiums. After Dec. 10 the insurance
companies refuse to write any marine
risk.
The lake lines have at the present time
all the st-bound freight they can ham
die, and q number of the Western roads
have embaTgoeS on certain lake lines on
account of their crowded condition at the
lake port This embargo will, in all prob
ability, be maintained until the close of
navigation, as the roads say they do not
particularly to have their cars used
as storage when they have not enough to
fill their daily orders.
As soon as any lake lines get their
accumulation cleaned up and are in the
. market for business the roads are al
ways willing to raise the embargo.
s.. In past years 1t has been the custom
for all shippers to load all the cars they
could get hold of just before the close of
navigation and forward to the lake port
with the expectation that they would go
forward on the last boat, and save the
difference between the lake and rail, and
the rail rate of freight, and, as ii result
there would be SO much freight shipped
out of here that the boat lines could not
handle one-quarter of it, and when the
last boat cleared there would be thou
sands of cars that would have to be for
warded by rail.
This always occasioned delays and MI
mefous kicks from the shippers, and for
this reason the roads have started this
early to refuse to haul any freight for
lake. lines that could not handle 1t
promptly. 7f
This, in u way, works hardship to the
shipper. because if he has to make a
shipment and can't get lake and rail
rates on It, he viii have to pay add
tionai aIl-ran rates, which is usually ~
cents higher, and when he has to CORR
pete in the open market with shippers
who are more fortunate in getting less
rates, he is up against It, ana, OF course,

replied in much the same terms as he
used earlier in the day at Portsmouth,
when he dilated on the enjoyment he
had derived from his trip, and his glad
ness at seeing his native land again after
his long journey, at every point of which
he had been deeply impressed by the uni
versal declaration of loyalty to the
throne
The agents general of the colonies also
presented an address to the king, who
handed them written reply, which was
as follows:
King Compliments COIonists.
81 thank you for your loyal and duti-
ful address on the return OF my beloved
son and daughter-in-law from their visit
to the portions of my realms of which
you are the representatives. 1t was not
without natural anxiety and hesitation
that I sanctioned the departure of the
heir apparent to my throne on "a voyage
which involved many months of separa-
tion, but it was my earnest desire to
give effect to the wishes of my late re-
vered mother and to the aspirations of
my loyal subjects of the colonies, of
whose devotion and loyalty ]. have re-
ceiyed such signal proof in the splendid
service they have rendered to the en-
pire in South Africa, and / am fully re-
paid by the complete success which at
tended the visit and by the manifesto
tons of devotion and loyalty which the
presence of the duke and duchess re-
ceived everywhere.
The procession occupied less than half
an hour in traversing the short route.
The members of the royal family and
their suites We're in open carriages. The
king wore a field marshafs uniform,
the Duke of Cornwall and York wore
the uniform of a rear admiral, and
Prince Edward of York was dressed in
sailor clothes. They occupied thee first

wall and York and the Princesses -Nic-
toria- and Charles of Denmark We're III
the second carriage. The household cav
airy furnished the escort.
In connection with the change in the
programme of yesterdays reception
pretty incident transpired. The original
pIans provided for the sailing OF the Vic
toria and Albert from Portsmouth at IL
o'clock. but one of the children of the
duchess of York was so imperious in IN
sistine on being taken to my mummy
that the king laughingly yielded, and
the Yacht started an hour ahead of time,
with the royal children in great state
of gIeeful excitement, laughing and
dragging their grandmother about the
deck in order to get a better view OF
the saluting ships. Arrived in the VIC
inity of Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, the
king and his erandsons boarded a steam
ninnace and nut to sea, but the weather
was so stormy that it was found too
DANGEROUS to attempt to board the Ophir.
and so the party was obliged to return
to the Victoria and Albert.

NJ. C. Bowler has just returned to Min

spent the summer and fall. He says he
has not brought back very much yellow
metal, but he has interests in some good

venting. him and his associates from
working a good claim this summer and
making great deal of money from it.
