RICE IRRIGATION.
the CaPoliuaA and Georgia,

What is Being Done in This Line fin the Carolinas and Georgia. Washington, June 1.-The census bureau issued a bulletin today giving the facts relative to rice irrigation in the State of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, showing th;As there are 50,293 acres under irrigation in the States named and that the cost of establishing these systems was $l,- 7s0,099.
 Irrigation Is practiced only in the coast countries and is performed dur ing high tides. The bulletin says:
 While the method of irrigation is
 simple, the initial expense of prepar- ing a plantation is very great and the cost of planting, cultivating and har-
 yesting is considerably higher than in Louisiana and Texas. Owing to the
 moist character of the soil the use of
 heavy machinery is impossible and the
 labor must be performed largely by

THE MYSTERIOUS
 POSTAL CARDS.

 l. had been breeding all the morning over my business reveIses-or rather one result of them. Being young and hope ful, the failure per SC did not affect me nearly so much as the fact that it had caused the postponement of my mar riage to Miss Davidson.
 For fear it may be taken for granted that she was sordid, I should explain that she was willing to face poverty with me, believing, like many other inexperienced young persons, that those who really love each other may live, contentedly on bread and cheese and kisses" Her father, however, was more conservative, and suggested that we should wait at least a year, which would leave me untrammeied in the ef- fort to re-establish myself. Though the arrangement was unpleasant to us, there was nothing in reason to do but agree to 1t.
 Presently the servant brought in my mail-one insignificant postal card. Re- calling the piles formerly received. the contrast led me to reflect rather bitter ly that few things could more appropri- ately emphasize my present lack of in1- portance in the commercial world. But then the communication served to di- vert my thought for a short while Written in a cramped, scratchy hand, signifying painfulneSs or lack of prac- tice in the use of the pen. it read.
 Der sur why Doan't you anser or come it's Important
 M. DEMENT,"
 Puzzled and amused, I turned to the address to see if the card had not been left through mistake. No. there was my name plainly enough-Richard Sloan, Jr.-though the chirography was much better than that on the reverse side The postmark was that of Dem ver Col.
 It required little reflection to convince myself that I knew no one in Denver by the name of Dement,. My father was as certain that he had never known any person anywhere bearing this cog nomen. I soon dismissed the matter as too trivial to distract my mind from plans for the future.
 At the end of a couple of months l was once more in business, this time three or four hundred miles from my earlier ventures On opening a letter from home a card dropped out and fell to the floor. Picking 1t up and placing 1t on my desk I proceeded to read the letter from my father.
 You will see from the enclosure" 1t ran on, among other things, "that your Denver friend continues to hold you in mind The affair waxes interesting, and cannot but speculate as to the out come Before the end and everything is fxt'-certainly these are words calcu- lated to arouse a desire to know more!
 The unknown scribbler favored me with this per postal card:

 The article to which MT. Graves and his '.selected' henchmen object to, so seriously now, was printed in The Ad- vertiser of Thursday and Friday morn ings last. and in, both the afternoon papers on those days, in two places, and 1t appears that MT. Graves waited until Sunday to deny it. ''at an hour when 1t was known that the publishing of a press denial was impossible" or when 1t would be ineffective.
 Mir. Graves witnesses all testify that he was at McGehee's on the day mem toned and was advising the negroes, and our statement was substantiated by a reputable and highly esteemed citizen who is as worthy of credence as any of the other witnesses; and who might have heard MT. Graves say things that the others did not hear. if he had said them. At any rate, he was there advising the negroes. in some capacity. I'm not in- formed what; as the Moses. to lead them out of bondage into enfranchise- ment, or to Ego home and take no part in the election;' which horn will you take?
