William f. Cutes the talented cores

Herald has discovered the father of
the rice industry in the United States.
lie is not as some would suppose w.
w, Duson, nor |. l. Carey, much as
they have done for the cause He is
none other than that marvellous
genius, The father of the Democratic
party, Thomas Jefferson. Rice was
one of Thomas Jefferson's agrical-
tural hobbies. When he was minis
ter to France he sent to the planters
of Charleston specimens of all the
several kinds of rice sold in Paris.
Seeing that the Italiaps cleaned their
rice by mills similar TO those used in
South Carolina, he concluded that
the Italian rice was of a better quail
ty, and desired to send seed to his
friends. At that time no one was
allowed to send rice seed out of Italy.
Falling back on what be termed 'sthe
higher law" Jefferson induced a
native muleteer to run a couple of
sacks access the Apprentices. 'Hav-
ing no faith in the muleteer's honesty
however, he filed the pocketsof 1his
vest, coat and overcoat with the best
rice he could find. The imuleteer
failed to appear, but the small store
from Jefferson's pockets reached the
president Of the Agricultural Society
Of South Carolina, who distributed it
among the planters, a dozen or more
grains to each. These were carefully
sown and watched, and were the
origin of our present staple-the best
rice in the world.

Storms and Floods.

Last Saturday night destructive
storms and floods swept over the
states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio aud
West Virginia. The greatest loss of
life and property was in the Elk
horn coal district Of West Virginia,
where a cloudburst swept away the
town Of Keystone and destroyed the
lives of 600 persons. In fact the
horrors of the catastrophe are said to
be equaled only, by those Of the
Johnstown flood. Pittsburg, Pa,
Columbus, Ohio, Logan county,
Illinois, and Charleston, w. Va.
were all severely shaken up by the
storm.
We do not want any of the storm,
but a little of the food would be
quite acceptable down here.
