Tuesday night. DIR. j. A. Hayne
and Mr.. Moses Mackorell. Of Black
stock, were pleasant callers at The Lam
tern office yesterday. They began ex-
perimenting on raising Belgian hares
this spring, having three to start with'
and now they have twenty-three. The
hares are kept at Mr.. Mackorelrs plan
tation. about two miles from Black
stock. They think that good money
can be made from this industry, for 1t
is one Of the rising industries in the
United States The meat is wholesome,
the hares are large and can be raised
more cheaply than chickens. 1t only
takes nine cents to raise one, and good
profit can be realized. DR.. Haynes says
they are working in competition with
the beef trust. They already have sew
eral orders, but they do not care to sell
any until they have thirty or more in
stock. To hear Mr.. Mackorell tell Of his
experience in raising them is interesting
indeed. No green food is to be given
them until they are two months old.
Mr.. Mackorell Is patching now, and
sometime in the future at his home, he
is to give a banquet to give some of his
friends an opportunity of finding out
how delicious is the meat of the Belgian
hare. We cannot see why this Is not
growing industry, and we wish these
gentlemen all the success imaginable in
their effort.
GASTONIA.
Gastonia Gazette, July IS: There Is
good evidence that the establishment
of rural free delivery routes has very
beneficial influence in inducing the peo-
pie on these routes to read the papers
a great deal more than when they got
their mail only once or twice a week.
Mr.. Thomas S. Royster, the carrier on
Bessemer City route No. l. in talking to
the reporter, Tuesday. said that since
the establishment of that route he has
sent in over 300 subscriptions to news
papers from the people he serves. This
tendency of the people in the rural dis
tricts to keep themselves better posted
on current affairs through the medium
of the newspaper is gratifying indeed.
