was given verdict against then
the Brandywine Granite Compan,
will close down their quarries an,
| in three weeks all opa rations vii
cease. This was definitely decided
upon ut Il meeting Of the stock
holders Yesterday.
At the meeting it j, understood
that th" subject discussed and the
ground for desiring to close the
/! quarrieS was the recent decision
OF the Superior Court in the dam
age ease brought Ivy Gior'lani, who
recovered about $1,000 damages
| This was apparently borne out
later by the statement OF Henry
b. Thompson, the president of the
company.
Mr.. Thompson was seen by Il
! reporter and when asked why the
company was going to abandon
operations said: In view of the
law OF the state as laid down by
the court in its charge to the jury
in the Giordani case. we have
decided to discontinue the working
of the quarries. Beyond this,
Mr.. Thompson di,l not care to dis
cuss the reasons for the decision
reached yesterday at the stock
holders meeting.
The closing down OF the luarries
will deprive Wilmington Of one Of
it's best-known industries. The
qum,ies were opened aboHt 1856
or 1887 by Henry and William
dupont, who operated them for
several years, until William NJ.
Field secured controlling interest
in the company. Mr.. Field opera
ted the quaries until about six
years ago when the control wa,
purchased by the Bancroft-, who
have, since acquiring the property
increased the ont put and made
improvements. Dnrillg the past
few years the annual output of tn"
quarries has been 100000 tons or
,,,nu, ,f ,t,,,,n
While the q'larries were in op-
Grafton from - to k5O men were
employed and sometimes in the
busy season during the SIMMER
more than $50 men have been 1T
work. The stone from heuulrries
have been used in many important
operations. The foundations OF
the high bridge of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad are built oft,
as is also the new post-ollice in
this city. Stone was also supplied
for the implacements at Fort Mott
and Fort dupont and also used by
the federal government for the
same class of work at Key West.
The Walnut street bridge and the
new Gray's Ferry bridge in Phila-
delphia are also partly constructed
of Brandywine granite. In addition
to the stone being used for build
ing purposes Il large quantity
has been used for street paving,
both in blocks and macalam,
and it always proved durable.
Work has now been suspended
in the quarries and the men who
have been working, to-day will
commence cleaning the place. The
machinery is for sale. The high
tramway wires over tho Brandy
wine creek will be taken down and
within Il few weeks nothing will
remain to show that there was
once located at the place large
quarries except the bare cliffs of
the hill, showing from where stone
has been taken. The company
also had Il large shipping wharf
on the Christiana..

RAISE CATTLE.

Says the Elizabeth City Tar Heel :
Frequent reference to the impOr-
tance of cattle raising at home has
been made. The present high prices
have resulted in nothing less than the
DEVELOPMENT of a growing scarcity of
beef in the West. This suggests the
opportunity open to the farmers of
Eastern Carolina.
The lower counties of this State are
peculiarly adapted to the raising of
cattle. The natural advantages are
such as to encourage the raising of
beef cattle. There is no food more
preferable for cattle than the reed.
There are thousands of acres of reed
land right in this section that could
he utilized in this industry.
In view of the fact that practically
no knowledge of stock raising is neces-
sarv to launch into the business and
also considering the ease and mex
nense in conducting a vocation of this
kind: it is but surprising that we have
not more cattle raisers than we have.
In making inquiries among the

CORN FOR sILAGE.

Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.
Those who intend growing corn for
glage purposes will perhaps be inter
ested in am experiment made by the
New Jersey Station last season when
Southern White corn was planted, the
kernels being placed 10, u, IA and 16
inches apart in the drill. The seed re-
Uuired per acre at these different rates
Of planting was 6, 5, 4 and 3 quarts
sspectively. The largest yield was
Itained where the kernels were plant
4 10 inches apart which took quarts
Of corn per acre. This plant yielded
aO3 tons of silage corn, or nearly 21
per cent. more than the plat with the
thinnest planting. While the thickly
planted plat suffered most from drv
weather and produced the smallest
ears, still the results indicate that the
thickest planting was the most profit
able for silage corn. The thick plant
ing naturally produced the smallest
stalks, which are the best for forage
purposes.

FROM THE BLACK RIVER SECTION OF
SAMPSON COUNTY.
A Magnificent Farming Section Awaiting
Development.

A Magnificent Farming Section Awaiting
Development.
Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.
Hot, dry weather cut off the straw
berry crop in this section to such an
extent that several farmers barely paid
expenses.
Tobacco has been cultivated for the
last three years in lower Sampson. Our
lands are we'll adapted to the culture
of the finest grades of tobacco and
those who have tested it find it a far
more profitable crop than cotton.
Some few have begun to raise for
Northern markets caladiums, tube
roses, and cabbages.
There is no finer section of North
Carolina for all sorts of farming than
the Black River section of Sampson
County. I have lived in all sections
of the State, but I have never found
any where a country that possesses
more natural advantages for trucking,
stock raising and berry culture. But
the very bounty of nature is in the
way of the farmers prosperity.
Labor is scarce and very unreliable.
What little we have is hauled off in
wagons to the strawberry fields near
the railroads the middle or last of
April to begin picking strawberries at
the very time the farmer most needs
help in planting his crop. Then comes
the wild whortleberry crop in May and
June and then the deer-tongue which
continues till near frost. The negroes
rely upon these gifts of nature for a
support during the crop season and it
is impossible to get labor sufficient to
cultivate the large farms after they
are planted.
This is fine country for energetic
white men to move to. We need peo-
pie to till the lands already cleared.
Lands are cheap. Sheep and cattle are
easily raised. The river and creek bot
toms are wide, level and fertile. The
sand ridge adjoining the river bottoms
are healthy and produce excellent to-
bacco and early truck Grass grows
naturally and with very little fertilizer
and with one blowing any farmer can
make fine hay crop. Churches are in
easy reach Of every home, but we have
not people enough to perform the work
on the farms and gather the wild
crops A man can easily buy a farm
here and pay for it in from three to
five years with its products, if he can
get it cultivated and the crops har-
vested.
And it is a healthy country. I
moved here from Raleigh five years
ago in the month of July and my own
health and that of my family has been
better than in any other place I ever
lived during the same length of time.
Our greatest need is people, people,
more people of the right sort. Can't
YOU send us more people? We need
canning factories, cotton mills, saw
mills, to turn out finished products in
dressed and matched lumber, sash,
doors and blinds, crates of all kinds,
and we need better railroad facilities.
Send us some live, energetic people
to help build up the country. They
can buy lands very cheap and in good
neighborhoods, and enjoy as good
health as they can in the mountains.
