The weeks rainfall, as reported by
correspondents, was comparatively
light and consisted of widely scatter
ed local showers, that were very ben
efcial where they occurred, as rain
was needed over the whole State, but
many places had none or else insult
ficient amounts. During the last
two days additional rains occurred,
that are not covered by the reports,
and the showers were quite general
and heavy in the central counties,
but were light in the extreme west

late rains thoroughly relieved the
drought over large portion Of the
State, and to that extent were Of
great benefit.

CkROLENAPRODUCT COMPANY
New and Successful Process for Ex-
tracing Prod:fct from Pine wood.

Wilmington Dispatch.
The Carolina Product Company
has made new and important dis
coyery in extracting the product
from pine trees, and the first and
only plant in existence is now in
operation near Councils Station on
the Seaboard Air Line. The new
process has already been proven to
be a great success and the plant is
now working at full capacity.
BY the new process, which is secret,
from one cord Of pine wood can be
extracted 10 gallons OF pure turpen-
tine, 100 pounds OF rosin, ; barrels
Of tar and several bushels OF charcoal.
The plant now has a capacity Of
twelve cords OF wood per day. 1t is
believed that Il cord Of wood con-
tains u gallons OF pure turpentine
and in the perfection OF the plant it
is probable that the full amount will
be extracted.
The market value Of a cord OF pine
wood is f2.25. Spirits of turpentine
is worth 50 cents a gallon; rosin,
$40 and 81 5per barrel; tar, 81 90
per barrel, and charcoal - cents Il
bushel The greatly increased value
through the new process is clearly
demonstrated.

No Citizen Sufficient Unto Himself.
New bern Journal.

New bern journal
There are times in every commu-
nifty when some citizen will feel that
he is sufficient within himself and
unto himself, and is indifferent as to
what Others may DO or think con-
celning him.
No merchant can have this feeling,
no citizen coming before the people
for public fayOrs will entertain such
q thought, and no citizen except in
spired by the greatest seliislncss
will declare even in his own mind,
this personal all sufficient seIf-sutfic-
i2ncy.
No greater community gain can be
realized than the firmly established
fact that each citizen is a compo-
nent and integral part OF his commu-
nifty.
The community 81 interests has
its success, as each citizen strives to
attain and make himself an integral
part OF his town or city, attempting
TO form the local confederation of re-
ligious, social, industrial and com
mercial interests, which shall give
equal and just benefits to each citi-
zen.
1t is the failure to appreciate the
necessity for this united community
Of interest action, which disturbs
and prevents local development,
prosperity and growth.
It is the individual -selfshness, the
attempt at self-sufiiciency which Of
fers the hindrance to personal and
community development and growth
for the contraction and expansion
OF citizen in advancing his own in
terosts, has its reflection in assisting
for good or evil his community,s in
teroStS.

Inequalities OF Taxation.

Again adyertin@ to the subject OF
taxation and the inequalities there
OF. thc Observer wishes to call re-
ntUed attention TO the fact already
noted that half the counties of this
State are 10 some extent supported
by the other hall. in other words,
that half 0f the total number draw
more out OF the State Treasury than
they pay into it. The county com
missi0ners have named the taX-list-
ers and assessors for the various
townships, and on the first OF June
they will proceed 10 assess the prop
erty for taxation In view OF the sit
u3tion above referred to, it is impor-
taut that 4 more equitable valuation
be arrived at. The assessors should
take pains in seeing to it that the
citizen is placed upon his honor in
returning his property for taxation.
This Is an important matter and the
remedy for Il great injustice lies with
the HcW tax assessors.

CHAPTER Nv.

Adam Leslie was standing by the
fireplace when Bluebell entered, a
heavy frown on his forehead, his face
looking dark and determined. Blue
bell did not like this mood in her IA
Their; but she had inherited her ia
Tiers determination, and was quite
ready to oppose her will to his.
Take seat, Bluebell," he said in
tone of hoarseness in his voice. She
did so, and he went on: "Mr. Moore
has been speaking about you to me"
Indeed said the girl coldly.
Yes. He asks for you as his wife,
and l have given him his answer.

know. You will wear diamond tiara.

His fury had blazed up and gone
out the next moment, like a lucifer
match, and his tone now was that OF
one who summons all the persuasion
and argument he is master of to bring
about desire he is previously anx-
ious for yet tries to conceal.
"And leave you and Aunt Elizebeth
at New Kelso, to be attacked perhaps
by the Boers?" said the girl indignant
ly. No, indeed, dad, l shall do no

you speak Of are any temptation to

spanlsh Maltese eoat,.

This breed Of goats has been extern
sively exported from Malta to various
countries for centuries. Spain, being
In close contiguity, naturally imports
from Malta greater numbers Of them
than any other country. The people
OF Mexico, being Of Spanish decent.
have been importing Maltese goats
directly from Spain for more than q
hundred years. In Mexico the goats
are known as "The Spanish Maltese
goats. There the breeders, by force Of
circumstances, are compelled to breed
these valuable animals with great
care. keeping constantly in view the
one single object, that Of producing
the most and best milk and cheese
yielding animals possible, for it must
be remembered that the great mass
of Mexican people living south and
west of the City of Mexico subsist, in
great measure, on these two prod
ucts of their Spanish Maltese goats.
Likewise they also consume consider
able quantities of the "venison," or
flesh, OF these goats, while the skins
and tailow from them End ready
market. The cash receipts for the
last two named products 60 long
way toward securing for them other
necessities. There can be no doubt
that in some Of the Spanish Maltese
locks OF Mexico q number of the high
est type Of the ideal milk goat is
found. They, however, are restricted
to small numbers, which are distrib.
uted over various sections of South.
ern Mexico, and never in large num-
bers, like the ordinary Mexican goat
found in Northern Mexico. Very few
OF the choice mixers can be pur.
chased, and those which can are held
at high prices. When the importa.
ton duties requisite to get them into
the United States are added to the
price, together with the exorbitant
transportation expenses and the ex-
'pense incident to visiting the far oil
localities in Southern Mexico neces.
sary to produce them, the importation
is rendered almost prohibitive. Not.
outstanding these obstacles, few
CT this class Of goats find their way
across the border, and occasionally
small f1ocks of them may be found ON
the Texan side of the lower Rio
Grande river. AS a rule, when to be
found there, they are being bred by
Mexicans with the same commendable
care as exercised in Malta, Spain and
Mexico, but they are held in such
nigh estimation as not to be offered
for sale.-B. H. Van Raub.
