NORTH CAROLINA TEA.
The Genuine Chinese Variety Grows Luxuri-
antly Near Wilmington.
Wilmington Messenger.)

Mr. James F. Moore, of Currie, Pen
der county, came down to the city last
night and was a welcome caller at The
Messenger office. He brought US a sur
prise in the nature of specimens from
tea plants that are growing luxuriantly
in the yard at his residence mile from
Currie, which is eighteen miles from
Wilmington.
About fifteen years ago the Rev. Co
lin Shaw brought some tea plants from
Florida in which State some one was
making an experiment at tea culture
The plants were set out in the yard of
the late Mr.. James p. Moore, father Of
Mr.. James F. Moore. who now brings
The Messenger several sprigs from the
bushes in his yard Sight was lost of
the fact that they were tea plants until
Mr. Moore recently read some articles
on tea culture in South Carolina, re-
calling a faint recollection that the
plants which Mr.. Shaw brought from
Florida were tea. He consulted Mr.. 2haw
and that gentleman told him that the
plants were tea.
When Mr.. Moore brought the speci-
mems to the city last night he called on
some of the Chinese residents and as
him they We're genuine Chinese tea.
Mr.. Moore tells us that notwithstand-
ing that no efforts have been made to
cultivate the plans, but on the contra
ry no attention has been paid TO them,
they have thrived all these fifteen years.
The three clumps OF bushes in his yard
are about five feet high. The leaves are
bright green and remain so throughout
the winter the plant being an evergreen.
Stock, and especially horses, are very
fond of the Leaves.
Mr.. Moore says now that he has found
out that he has tea plants growing in
his yard, he will gather some of The
leaves this spring and have him a CUP
of North Carolina grown tea. Judging
from the luxuriant manner in which his
plants grow, Mr.. Moore is confident
that this section is well adapted to tea
culture. He has become deeply inter-
ested in the matter and as he expects soon
to take in the exposition at Charleston
he will take that opportunity to visit
DR.. Charles U. Sheppards tea farm at
Summerville, near Charleston.

SAN JOSE, Nov. 15.-From indications
and developments made in boring for Oil
San Jose is destined to be in the center
of an oil district. The Orchard Crude Oil
Company, which is sinking we'll on the
Main ranch, six miles west of this city,
has struck a small quantity of oil at less
than 100 feet from the surface. In going
down but lis feet two strata of oil were
struck-one at 60 and the other at so feet.
This is so encouraging that the promoters
hope to strike a gusher. Experts declare
that good stratum of oil exists in that
locality.
Near the well now being bored oil was
found at a depth of 600 feet a few years
ago, but because of the breaking of drills
the we'll had to be abandoned. That well
has now filed with oil, and the company
is pumping it out and using it for fuel
in boring the second well.
Two more wells are being sunk within
a few miles of the Main ranch.
