A shading crew from Beaufort ran
across school of mullets Wednesday ana
pursued them, making a 100000 haul.
The fine for pursuing mullets is $4,000,
but we suppose they can pay it and have
good pile left. The entire lot was pur-
chased by Messrs. r. w. Taylor and
Charles S. Wallace, each taking 100000
worth. Every man and boy in town
available were employed last night al

All 1 have striven to grasp escapes me

The things l would achieve seem pass me
Mine was the only fault-unworthy I?

The JOY that others held was never mine;

Tobacco that sold last year for ten to
fifteen cents is now selling for to Az
cents. In order to show how the present
low prices of the weed effect trade we
were told by Mr. George B. Curtis, at
Enfield, Saturday, that in August, 1902.
his tobacco customers paid him on ac-
count over $4,000; that this year, for the
same month, he collected from tobacco
customers $780, The farmers, he said, are
not selling their tobacco at present prices,
and this of course affects the general
trade. Last year, this time, the Enfield
merchants could not wait on the trade
this year they say it is duller than it
was before the tobacco warehouses opened.

The hallelujah of the converted sinner can be psychologically accounted for. Such a deliverance from such a source sets the tongue to singing aloud. The lips that the Lord opens instinctively celebrate his praise.

The much-forgiven man will, as a rule, be correspondingly useful. The restored and upheld soul is usually dihgent in teaching transgressors and converting sinners.

David is a blessed helpfulness in this Psalm. It has been many a sinners hand book to guide him to God. It has been his vocabulary of confession. So good comes out of evil. So. as Longfellow sug- gests, we can frame a ladder out of our vices, if we will but tread beneath our feet each deed of shame.

They were kind and generous neighbors; they brought her many beau tifully dressed skins till the walls of her succeed cabin and dirt floor were covered. Her husband, General Elmore, not only hewed trees and sawed logs with the old fashioned cross cut saw. but made his own brick and nails as we'll as hinges and it was a long time before they had even a timbered covering over their heads; in fact. they lived for months in a tent and fresh straw was strewn upon the dirt floor every day.

THE POTATO IN GERMANY.
Berlin Exposition Devoted to the
Famous American Tuber.

An exposition is now on" in Berlin
devoted to showing what can be done
with the potato as human food, as food
for animals and as material for alco-
hol, starch. dextrin, etc.A full account
OF it il given in a report by Consul
General Mason.
One-eighth of all the arabic land in
Germany is planted to potatoes. For
every 10000 people we plant 34.5 acres.
Great Britain and Ireland 81 acres,
France 9S acres, Germany 160 acres.
The quantity OF potatoes raised per
acre is greater in Germany than else
where. 1t has been increased thirty
eight per cent in recent years by men
in spectacles who never touch Q hoe.
but investigate soil needs.
One-half the potatoes are eaten as
human food, SO that Germans must eat
far more potatoes than do other peo-
pies. Prizes are now offered for the
best apparatus for preparing potatoes
for animal food.
Dextrin and potato starch are famil-
lar everywhere, but potato-alcOhol de-
velopments in Germany are thoroughly
up to date. The Daimler Motor Com
pany-the same that makes automO-
biles-built fifty-horse power engine
run by potato alcohol as fuel for the
Russian marine department; it was
greatly admired by Emperor William.
Lighting apparatus for streets. rooms
and shops and many forms of alcohol
heating stoves are interesting The ad-
vantages are obvious. No smoke, no
smell, no great exhaustion of the air.
comparative cheapness. The best lights
are those which pass potato-alcohol
vapor through mantle like the Wells
bach.
Alcohol for commercial purposes
pays neither tariff nor tax in Germany.
The Central Association for alcoholic
distribution sells it at any railroad sta
ton in Germany for from Is to IL cents
a gallon-a cheaper fuel than oil is in
this country under the beneficent tar
iff that protects the Standard Oil Com
pany's Infant industry"
Motor carriages, even yachts and
small naval vessels can be driven by
potato-alcohol engines.
