WILLOW GROWING INDUSTRY.
Revival of a Business That Is Profit
able to AgriculturaIists.

The Department of Agriculture
through State Biologist Gerald Nc
Carthy, has prepared some valuable
information relative to willow grow
ing, for the purpose of stimulating
that industry in the State, and for
encouraging farmers to enlarge the
output of this tree in North Carolina.
The supply of the basket or oser
willow upon the American market is
not equal to the demand. There has
arisen an increasing enquiry as to the
prospects for charging the output of
this tree, as at present all the. better
grades of willow are imported from
France The cheap splint which has
been extensively used on account of
the invention of automatic machinery
for making baskets out of oak, elm
and oak splints has proven unsatis-
factory, as it is short-lived and ugly,
and the demand for artistic willow
work in both basketware anr furno
ture has caused an increased demand
for willow.

''To hold or not to hold cotton

control the situation.
Every bale Of cotton that is
brought in at the present time not
only depreciates the value of that
bale, but the value of every bale you
still have left on your farms and in
your warehouse. and also every bale
of cotton you have worked so hard
to put in the ground. Therefore, it
behooves you to rightly consider the
present status of your strength, and
to realize it, and to realize it at once
There is at the present time a plan

who will hold his cotton for the next

SPRAYING APPLES.

Excessive Insurance Rates.

To the Editor: From time to time
YOU publish the amount of taxes the
insurance companies are paying to the
State. This is we'll. 1t is eminently
proper that the public should know
where taxes come from, as well as
where they go. But in this connection
it is of even greater Importance TO
call the attention of the public to the
methods of business of these compan-
les, in order that it may be ascertain
ed if we are not Saving at the splgol
and losing at the bung." | refer now
TO fire insurance companies.
While they pay two and one-half
per cent tax on their premium re-
ceipts in the State, they have increased
their average rate of premiums nearly
ten per cent. When they pay the State
one dollar in these taxes they collect
out of the people nearly four dollars
more than heretofore. And this ill
drease is in the face of the fact that
our fire departments are increasing
and becoming more efficient that the
character of our buildings is constant
ly improving; that our laws are more
stringent upon the assured than ever
before, and that we have a depart
ment with extraordinary powers ex-
pressly charged with the duty of pros
ecuting incendiaries and fraudulent
claimants
If there is any excuse for this in
crease in rates it certainly does not
appear from the sworn statements of
the companies made to the Insurance
Department. The year before this in
crease they collected in North Caro-
lima $1,545,67 and incurred losses
to the amount of $62S,560.74. (Sec
Insurance Commissioners report for
1902, Table FI) In other words. for
every dollar they had to pay in losses
they collected two and one-half dol
lars 1t does seem that they were get
ting enough, and yet during the next
year they increased the rate nearly 10
per cent. That it should require more
than $3.50 in expense and profit for
and in addition to every dollar paid
in losses seems incomprehensible to or
binary mortals.
The methods by which these COM
panies are able to conduct business
with such a magnificent expense and
profit account is exceedingly interest
ing and of profound Importance to the
public: and | shall ask for space in a
future issue of your valuable paper tc
refer to chem particularly. The publll
should know that according to the
sworn statements of the companies
themselves, during 1903 (the last year
for which the official figures are pub
lished they made on their aggregate
business net profits of over 81 per cent
in that one year alone, upon the capl-
tai stock actually paid in. The public
should also know that if these com
ranieS wish still further to increase
their rates they can do SO, and that
there is nothing in present conditions
to prevent them. When the public full
ly understand the situation, / desire
10 suggest certain remedies, which
am sure will be applied, and will prove
adequate to the evil.

learned that Mr. B. l.. Duke who has
been absent from Durham since last
November when he went North, mar
ried Miss Webb. and then became in
volved in the sensational chain of in
cidentS that have since Kept him IN
hiding, will be home tomorrow or
within the next few days. He was ex-
pected yesterday and again this morn
ing but did not arrive.
Mr.. Sturcke, of New York, one Of
the counsel for Mr.. Duke, was here
today He stopped over on his way
home from Pinehurst where he had
been spending some time. For a day
or so there has been a rumor that the
Duke litigation had been settled. MI.
Sturcke was asked about that rumor.
He said that there was a movement
on foot looking to the settlement OF
the litigation. He said that he had
been to Pinehurst and had not heard
from his firm in several days and that
the trouble might even now be settied:
If not ne thought it would be settled
in a few days.
In connection with this statement 1T
is learned that the settlement of the
trouble means the withdrawal OF the
complaint against Mr.. Duke. AS the
matter now stands the case is set Tor
a hearing about the middle of next
month. If he comes home in few
days. as now thought it is hardly
probable that he will return to New
York for trial, as his coming will mean
the settlement of the long sanity llti-
CATION. which began when Mr.. Duke
was taken in charge by the New YORK
authorities, hustled into sanitarlum
and later taken out on writ of habeds
