RICE CULTURE IN NORTH
CAROLINA.

Some days ago we made a
local notice urging the farmers of
this section to give more acreage
to rice in the casting of their crops
for the coming year, and we again
urge them to give more than a
passing thought to this important
crop.
While the culture of rice in
North Carolina has increased to a
considerable extent within the last
5 years, yet it has not kept pace
with the increased demand.
The import duty which was in
creased about 4 years ago from
&c. to &c. per pound, has proved a
strong stimulant and made rice
growing very profitable. Before
this increased duty was imposed
probably three-fourths of the rice
consumed in the United States
was imported from foreign coune
tries, while now, barely one-half
our supply is imported, and it
will be many a year before the
United States will be able to raise
their entire requirements al home.
In addition to our domestic de-
mard, we have to furnish Porto
Rico, which in itself is a heavy
drain on our stock. The Porto
Rican trade is secured to the
United States on account of the
discriminating duty OF &c. per
pound against foreign countries,
whereas we pay no duty fer our
exports to Porto Rico.
The rice mills in North Caro-.
lima have been unable to buy suf-
ficlent rice in this State to run
their mills, and have to look for a
good part of their milling sup
plies from neighboring States,
even so far as Louisiana, on which
the freight charges have been
considerable.
Why is it that our farmers don't
take advantage Of this situation
and plant all their available land
suitable for rice culture in this
cereal?
We feel confident it would
prove the most profitable crop
they could raise. We know OF
number of planters on the Cape
Fear whose rice crops yield them
from five thousand to fifteen thou
sand dollars each.
The following figures are based
on very conservative estimate:
Say cns acre of average rice
land yields 40 bushels at 75c,
$40 90; s.ne and half tons rice
straw per acre SS 90, to $1,000; a
total per acre of $4,000: and SO q
one 10 81 op of 80 acres is equal
to $1,26O. TIE cost of cultlvatipg
and harvesting one horse CROP
should not exc. ed $4,000, which
would leave a net profit TO each
one horse crop of 100000.
There are lands which yield as
high as 60 bushels per acre, anc
some choice varieties of low lano
rice has sold this eeaeon as higt
as 81. 10 per bushel. However.
it is not we'll to figure on ths
highest attainable results.
We learn that the milling Ca
pacity of the several mills located
in this State is 100000 bushel
for a season of s months milling
while the total production of rlc
in North Carolina does not ex
ceed one fourth tnis quantity.

Too poor to possess the precious ores,
And too much of a stranger to bor-
row,
We issued today our promise to pay
And nope to redeem on the morrow
The days rolled on, and weeks became
years,
But our Golfers were empty still;
Coin was so scarce that the treasury
quaked
If a dollar should drop in the till
But the faith that was in us was
strong, indeed,
Though our poverty well we dis
cerned
And this little check represents the
: pay,
That our suffering veterans earned
They know it had hardly value in
gold,
Yet as gold our soldiers received it;
1t gazed in our eyes with a promise to
pay,
And every true soldier believed it.
But our boys thought little of price o.
pay,
Or of bills that were overdue
We knew If it brought our bread today,
Twas the best our poor country
could do.
Keep it! 1t tells all our history over,
From the birth of our dream till its

Modest and born of the Angel of Hope,
Like our hope ot success, it passed.

JlLTED LOVER
Sues for the Recovery of Amount Spent for
KniCk-KnaCkS.

Special to the Leader.
&eyser, w. Va, May 21.-Justice of
the Peace Stainaker, of Harmon,
Tucker county, today threw out of
court one Of the most novel suits ever
tried hereabout, styled Robert l..
Raines VS.. Ella Galley and Arthus Cal
ley, her husband.
The suit grew out of the fact that
Mrs Galley had accepted Raines and
some minor presents, then, meeting
Galley, schoolmaster lost her heart
and married him, without Raines Civ
ing consent.
Raines sned for $2702, which he had
lavished upon Miss Sartor before she
married Galley. He presented an item
lied statement, including church con-
tributions, given to please the girl, ice
cream and oysters, a dinner, some jew
erly and borrowed money, which foot
ed up to the exact amout of the bill
which he demanded.
Both sides were represented by emf
nent counsel. Justice Stainaker de-
cided it was a breach of promise suit
and beyond his jurisdiction. Raines is
a prominent and wealthy citizen and
was the Democratic candidate for the
State Senate last fall. He has been his
party's leader for years, and is much
older than the pretty girl who, he al
leges, engaged herself to him. Friends
believe that the jilting has affected his
mind.
My heart and hand another claimed,
HIS plea had come too late.
It's ever thus with people without
pluck and vim,

left again. 35c.

Say, here's an ad;
It's awful bad,
But I've writ it
So you'll git it.

~ SOu II SIJ H.
Read it slowly, loWly, loudly
Read it loud and then some louder,
Then you'll see it's but fizzle--
| have touched off Talcum Powder
THIS is TALCUM WEEK.
Here is spring and summer weather
With their sunshine punched together
And in molten hunks they bring it,
And in bolt and chunks they fling it
AT you, round you, on you, DER you,
Wrap you in it, scorch you, score you
Till you feel the perspiration down
your spinal column trickle,
And your skin feels rolled up red hot
like slab of tripe in pickle.
This ad might run longer in this pa
per If the weather warmed up, but it's
thin enough to run a 1000 miles in q
snow drift.
There's ticklish, prickly feelin'
In the summer heat that darts
Up and down, across and round you
In million, trillion smarts,
Well as if billion jiggers
Were a-rutin' for their pickin's
And scratch and jab your hide at
Just like the very dickens.
On fat men and on babies
Girls, old maids and old ladies,
Sprinkle Talcum Powder.
Then it's say, July the middle,
When the skeeter's start to fiddle,
And the flies put on their frescoes on
the wall.
And the puppy wears his pants,
And the summer girl her glance,
But of course this is not exactly all,
Use Talcum Powder.
When the air is baked and dried,
Rolled in dust, and toasted, fried,
Sizzled, frizzled
Till it's grizzled,
Through a sand screen it is drifted
Through collander it is sifted
First to breath it.
Use
Talcum Powder.
But here I'll say
There's just one way
To keep off summer itches;
That's cool your skin
By wearing thin
Big shiTtless waists and breeches,
And
Dust yourself with Talcum.

Paint
Neglect
Costs Money.

Many who care little for appearances
are equally regardless of the preserta-
tive value of paint. Such economy
brings an actual loss. A poorly pro
tected building suffers more damage in
one year than it should in ten.
Good paint is always worth twice it's
cost. 1t is worth its cost as a beauti-
fer, and it is worth still more for the
protection it affords.
We handle nothing in paints that is
not of the most worthy quality, and
our prices will appeal to all who seek
real economy.
