Over Two and a Half Million Pounds of Medicinal
Herbs Shipped Yearly.

Western North Carolina is famed for
the grandeur and sublime beauty of it's
stately and majestic mountains, and the
splendor of it's unsurpassed scenery.
From beneath the crown Of these tower
ing sentinels of the skies burst forth the
ice-cold, refreshing and delightful waters
that leap down the mountain side in
sparkling, splashing rivulets to the, val
leys beneath. Along the range of these
great mountains and east of them lies
the range of smaller ones, known in
local parlance as the Brushes" that
appear to be placed there by nature as
a stepping block to their higher compan-
ions. Stretched out east of these in
rolling hills lies that fertile and famed
section of our State known as pied
mont North Carolina" Noted as these
sections are for their fine water, scenery,
fruit and grain they are noted perhaps
more as being the chief herbarium of the
world. In this section are gathered
nearly all kinds of medicinal plants
known to science. Over twenty-five
thousand different varieties are gathered
annually, garnered packed and shipped
to all parts of the globe. Providential
nature has planted and propagated in the
soil of this section the medicinal plants
which are the formulas of nearly all the
panaceas offered to the human family for
their ills.
In 1859 the members of the firm OF
Wallace Bros. came to Statesville, N. c..
and, in connection with their mercantile
business, began the collection of botanf-
cal varieties for medicinal purposes. The
business became SO extensive that it was
necessary to build two large two story
buildings and one large three story
building to furnish room for the mann
moth accumulation of medicinal roots
and herbs
Mr.. r. V. Brawley, another merchant
of Statesville went into the business in
1897 and more than a year ago had built
a large two story warehouse and two
branch houses, one in North Wilkesboro,
n. c., and O2e in Mountain City, Tenn,
for the accommodation of the extensive
trade he had built up in a few years in
this line. The degree of perfection and
dispatch with which this extensive BUSH
ness is carried on is not equalled by any
like establishment in thu universe.
These herbs are gathered by local

Albemarle Sound region-the centre of
the shad and herring industry-about the
third week in April With the shad and
herring, is associated the rock fish or
striped bass and-the white perch. Stur-
geOn are fished out.
But there are other considerable and
profitable branches aside from spring
fishing of shad and herring. Oysters are
quite an item now. In 1880 the oyster
business amounted to but $50, 600, while in
1897 the valuation was $242,OO This
business is growing rapidly and the use
OF dredges, in gathering the oysters, is
enlarging the natural beds and increasing
the product.
Those who desire to obatain definite
and accurate knowledge of the North
Carolina industry, may successfully do
so by consulting the United States Fish
Commission reports. The subject is taken
up with the census of 1880. and the 1880
compilation is one of the most satisfac-
tory government publications which
have ever seen. The work is known as

States 1t is in many public libraries. 1t
is in seven >quartC volumes. 1t cannot

mission, however, has the plates, and a
republication ought to be authorized by
Congress. Since $780, many canvasses
have been made of the States fishery In
dustry and embodied in the reports of
the United States Fish Commission. The
most valuable paper of this kind is in the
annual report for 1899, pamphlet III. en-
titled Statistics of the South Atlantic

data are given by counties, and show the

an aggregate of Ga, 234 ,257 pounds, valued
at $1.316017. Fifty species of fish, she'll

diversity in the business. The permanent
marine laboratory now being established
at Beaufort by recent act of Congress,
is fer the use of college and other stu
dents in acquiring a fuller knowledge OF
aquatic fOrms-tneir structure and life
history. The location has long been re-
graded as favored one, being visited by
many nonresident species from the
North and the South. 1t may be here
remarked that this Biological Station will

They ought to ascertain who are the

vidad with a list of the reliable dealers
Cur fishermen should have q raid agent
to go into the interior towns, perhaps
Us far west of Now York Philadelphia
and Washington, as 200 miles, and make
arrangements before hand with local
dealers for the sale of shad and herring,
the former in ice and the latter corned
or sailed in barrels. The New Bern
dealers have done a great deal for their
section and the consumers in distributing
their fish to many interior points, while
the main bulk at the shad catch of the
State is thrown on Boston, New York
etc, causing glutS and low prices and
permitting the dealers of four or five
cities to job the fish off to interior towns
Our fishermen ought to attend to this
matter, and ascertain railroad rates, re-
frigerating car facilities and all other
points necessary and get large per cent
of gain. The same agent should practi-
cally demonstrate, at these interior
towns, the right method of soaking out
and cooking salt herring. In the mining
towns Of Pennsylvania, for instance, our
hickory shad, or jacks, ought 20 command
fair price for the whole catch.

market for a box of fresh fish in Savan-
nah, Ga, almost every day in the year.

THE BEST FRUIT GROWING SECTION OF THE WORLD WHERE

Mountains in Caldwell, Alexander and
Wilkes. In the future this phenomenal
section must become of inestimable
value, for nowhere is there such certain
assurance of the security and maturity
of peaches and other tender fruit crops,
Or of the grape; to the successful Guilt
walton of the grape the soil and the gen.
eral conditions of the climate offer nu-
merous inducements"
To show that this idea of a thermal
belt along the mountain slopes is not of
latter day origin, it may be interesting
to state that Thomas Jefferson, who was
a close observer of the growth of fruits
and flowers. as we'll as of policies and
republics, discovered a hundred years
ago that the orchards on the mountains
of Albemarle county, Virginia, were not
affected by frosts and insects to the eX-
tent they were on the plain, that the
fruit was larger and of finer flavor, and
that he made a note of these facts in
his writings.
While North Carolina has many thou
sands Of acres in these thermal belts, it
is to be regretted that only in a few
localities has any attempt been made to
realize" on the knowledge gathered
from a century of experiment, by estab-
fishing orchards and vineyards in this
favored region on a commercial scale.
Among the notable exceptions are in
Tryon mountains, near Tryon, in Polk
county, and in the Brushy Mountains of
Wilkes and Alexander, where large or
chards have been planted and where the
return on the investment shows that
these mountain sides can be made to
yield many times more in cash than the
most fertile alluvial lands along the Ca
tawba and The Yadkin.
In Burke county there are to be had
large boundaries of these thermal lands
at prices ranging from two to five dol
lars per acre. These lands lie within
from three to ten miles of the Southern
Railway. Within easy reach of the
Carolina and Northwestern Railroad in
Caldwell, of the Southern in Wilkes and
Alexander, and of the Seaboard Air Line
and the Southern in Cleveland and Ruth
erford, and of the Southern Railway in
Polk and Mcdowell, there is a large
acreage to be had at low figures. These
lands only await the advent of the in
