Why Big Fish Get Away,

1t is perfectly plain that large fish
are more apt to escape than small ones
Their weight and activity, combined
with the increased thickness and re-
sourcefulness of age and experience, Of
course greatly increase their ability to
tear out the hook and enhance the dam
ger that their antics will expose q fatal
weakness In hook, leader, line or rod
Another presumption which must be
regretfully mentioned arises from tho
fact that in many cases it is the en-
counter with large fish which causes
such excitement and such distraction

Sheep I'm Varied Clothing.

One Of the results of the investiga.
ton Of special committee Of the So
cicty Of Arts into the question Of book
binding goes to show that sheepskin
is often used by bookblnders under
very different names. They found
books bound nominally in Levant mo.
rocco, hard grain morocco, straight
grain morocco. pigskin, calfskin, croco-
dile and alligator feathers. nll Of which
ON close microscopic examination We're
found to be the ordinary common

the special grains and markings OF the
skins they were got up to initiate. The
committee. however, were satisfied
that in many cases both the book
binders and the librarians had bought
these feathers under the impression
that they were buying the genuine ar

Results of Irritation.

The National Homemaker presents the following illustration of what ir- rigation has done in Southern Cali fornia.
 Here is what 10000 acres has done in Southern California:
 Take Redlands.
 The land in it's original arid con- dition. producing at most not over s50.O00 year, now yields a product of fruit alone of $1 050,000; employs 15OO men. paying out $675,0OO annu- ally for labor and an assessed valu- ation has been created of $3,65O,OOO
 The figures from Riverside are equally marvellous:
 Annual receipts for fruit, $2,150,- 900; disbursing for labor of 25OO men in single year. $1.125.000; assessed valuation in 1900, $5.29S,745.
 We quote from National Irriga- ton for June, 1901, where these figures are given more in detail.
 Thirty years ago Riverside was a nameless desert and twenty years ago, Redlands, unnamed, was the rabbit-hunting grounds for the San Bernardino Mormons. In either case, $500 would have bought the town, while now it will hardly buy an acre, certainly not if well situated and GOV cred with a good orange grove.
 Tt means that twenty thousand acres of desert have been conquered as seventy-five million more may be conquered; it means that nine million dollars have been added to the na- tion's taxable wealth. even as bill lions more may he added. if means that four thousand families are being supported, even as millions may be; it means more than this, for irrigated agriculture guarantees continued safer support than can any other oc- cupation, or any other condition of agriculture"
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-03-15
Irritation and Malaria.

The danger of malaria from irriga- tion has probably been greatly over rated. and since the discovery that the mosquito is the fellow who causes the trouble, 1t may not haunt the imagination as it did once. "The Occidental Medical Times" makes some pertinent remarks on this sub feet. which are worth considering. The "Times" says:
 "The impression that irrigated dis tricts were productive Of disease prompted an inquiry into the subject year or more ago, whereby the con- clusion was reached that the con- trary was the fact. All available lit erature, all personal and written tes- timony, was distinctly unanimous in declaring that irrigation brought health and prosperity.
 "All the medical evidence showed that there was less malaria, typhoid fever. diarrheal diseases, etc; that the sanitary conditions in general were vastly improved, and that the death rate was consequently lowered.
 This was strikingly true of all dis tricts, of so healthy a country as that surrounding Phoenix, Ariz., and of so unhealthy a territory as the San Joaquin Valley.
 "A little reflection will readily con- vince one that lack of water, stag nant pools, the use of wells or cis- terms, are active factors in spreading disease; while the prevention of veg etable decomposition, the replacing of these conditions with green fields and flowing waters, which as rule are pure and clean, will eradicate many sources of contamination.
 Another phase connected with the subject is the frequently high altitude of the arid lands, so essential many times in the treatment of diseases of the respiratory passages, which, aid ed by open-air life. and above all by a certain and stimulating means of employment, adds an incentive of great effect. These conditions have made Colorado and Southern Califor- nia the greatest health resorts in the world. and have given life and health to thousands.
 "The conclusions of the eminent physicians who made the Congress Of Tuberculosis, recently held in Lon don, famous, were that, in the pres ent state of knowledge, sunshine and outdoor life are our most effective agents In the treatment of this dis ease.
 At present the amount of land that is productive in these districts is small and the means of securing livelihood uncertain. It seems prob able, therefore, that in the reclama- tion of these lands lies one means of preventing, if only to limited de- gree, the further destruction of our people,"

THE BREACH WIDENING.


We publish elsewhere Mr.. Frank A.
Richardson's letter from Washington to
the Baltimore Sun on the widening
breach between the Republicans in Con-
gress. Mr.. Richardson is the wisest of
newspaper correspondents at Washing
ton and his observations are entitled to
much weight.
The breach, of course, is over one of
getting something for somebody and not
based upon principle. The President
takes strong ground in favor of reducing
the tariff on Cuban sugar as a help to
the Cubans, who are in deplorable con
dition. The Republicans who oppose
him, are fighting any reduction what
ever of the tariff, and Oxnard has his
beet sugar lobby getting in it's work.
Every day brings fresh assurance that
the tariff question cannot be kept in the
background The wisest Republicans
must soon realize that a high wall Of
protection and a colonial policy cannot
go together. We cannot sell to all the
world and exact high tariff rates upon
duties coming into this country. We
voluntarily assumed the responsibility
of seeing that Cubans would have a bet
ter time than when the SDaniards ruled.
If they are denied a market for their
sugar, they will not see any improve
ment in their condition.
The beet sugar men wish a prohibitory
tariff; the administration wishes a pro-
hibitOry tariff on everything except
sugar. The real interest of the country
is to return to tariff for revenue only.
and then Cuba would not have to be beg
ging for charity.

HANGS UNTIL 1T STOPS.
Wilson Times.

IANGS UNTIL II SIOPS.
Wilson Times
The ambushing of Jim Ellis furnishes
further evidence that the talk against
capital punishment since the hanging of
Rose is largely responsible for homi-
cides. Until our people cease such talk
human life will not be sacred in Wilson
county. Murders must cease if every
man guilty of murder in the county is
hung by the neck until he is dead.
Either that or mob law Which do our
people desire? Either that or mob law.
Which do our people prefer? We are
getting back into the condition of semi
barbarism. Quite as bad if not equal to
early border days when the early settlers
We're compelled to organize vigilaDts
and swing murderers to limbs of trees.
1t broke up murders then and win do it
now. But we would hate to come to
that. The best way is to legally keep
breaking necks until people respect the
law. A healthy public sentiment, both
in town and county will demand Of
courts and juries that the guilty shall
be punished for the protection of tho
people.

IT PAYS TO DIVERSITY.

Those sections of the State where the
best returns are received from cultivat-
ing the soil believe in diversifyng the
crops. Dependence upon a single crop,
as the cotton crop in 1901, proves eisas-
trous. The farmer who has several
strings to his bow may not handle so
much money, but he will have more clear
profit at the end of a series of years
than the one crop farmer.
The Goldsboro Argus, which is urging
the farmers OF Eastern North Carolina
to raise rice, quotes the Houston Post in
proof that it will pay. The Post says:
1T has been demonstrated that rice
straw as forage is superior to prairie
hay and last season where properly
cured and haled brought 81 to So per ton
f. o. b. at point of shipment. An acre
of rice produces about two tons of straw,
which at $3.50 per ton means $500 per
acre for the straw which was formerly
burned on account of planters feeling il
was of no use"
whole stretch of country from Colds
boro to Wilmington was rot worth so
much as from the single town of Wilson.
Trucking has changed all that until there
is no part of the system where the
freights are more profitable than
through the strawberry and truck sec
ton between Goldsboro and Whining
ton. In his address before the business
men CT Wilmington on Friday night,
President Winston said:
This section of the State is blessed
in it's trucking advantages. There is a
certain perod when trucking belongs to
North Carolina. Eleven million quarts
of strawbcrries were raised in this sec
ton last year. On one acre of ground
near Wilmington was produced $1,000 in
lettuce. The time will come when large
ocean steamships with cold storage ia
cilites will take from this port truck
truck season passes, use the waste pro-
duct in canning and preserves. High
grade qualities of canned goods always
sell at high prices"
1t is by diversifying crops and making
every product bring the most possible
money into his pocket that the farmer
ment and his labor.

THE CHAMPION sPELLER.

f'Spellers are born, not made was
favorite saying of an old fashioned
school teacher in North Carolina who
flourished twenty-five years ago. He
could spell every word in the dictionary
and he said ii had never been any
trouble for him to learn to SPELL
The Western papers have had much to
say of late about Prof. d. Jones, of
Lancaster, Mo-, who has outspelled every
man, woman or child in the West and
has BUNDLED a professor in a Kansas
University Confident that he can out
spell anybody in the world, Prof. Jones
has issued challenge ito any person
on earth to meet him in a spelling
match, upon these conditions:
Contest to last four hours, words to
be English, pronounced by a disinterest-
ed person. words to be reduced to writ
ing. both contestants spelling the same
words, the one missing the largest num-
Der of words to present the other with
Webster unabridged dictionary"
The California News takes up the
Kansas mans challenge and says that
Mr.. John Allen, of Franklin county,
North Carolina, who is no professor but
q farmer, can beat the Kansan. 1t adds:
'Mr. Allen can derive spell and de-
fine every word in Webster's dictionary.
He can do better; he can tell you on
what page and column; and will go so
far as to tell you about what position
the word occupies in such column. II
the Lancaster pedagogue desires a con-
test there is no reason why he can't get
it. This paper has money to back its
assertion
The Louisburg Times backs up the
News. and agrees to raise two dollars to
the Lancaster pedagogic's one that
John Allen can give him two and the
deal and sit him down within an hours
ume:ss The Henderson Gold Leaf takes
a hand, and says:
Nor would the Gold Leaf object to
being let into the game on soft snap
like that. Knowing John Allen as it
does it would back him against all
Corners as being able to carry Off the
honors in a spelling match anywhere at
any time
Why not invite the Lancaster peda-
gogue to come to Raleigh and meet John
Allen, the champion speller of North
Carolina in q public match for the cham
pionship for~"the best speller on earth?"
We nominate Thad r. Manning and J. A.
Thomas as q committee to make the ar
rangements.l
