beautiful and costly design ever seen
in flowers here was that sent by the
three sons of the deceased. This was
made in New York and reached here
this morning with the party that
came on the special car. At the home
the flowers filed two rooms and were
moved from there to the cemetery in
two-horse WAGONS, these being draped
in black. Five wagons were required
to move the flowers, the wagons being
piled full of the blossoms. The de-
signs came from all parts of the coun-
try. A great many were sent by Dur
ham people There were others from
almost every city in this State ana
from many of the larger Northern
cities. Richmond sent a half car load
of designs and the florist who pre-
pared the designs came with the car
and saw that the flowers We're deliV-
cred in proper shape. Forty or fifty
designs came from the great New York
florists. 1t is said by people who are
familiar with the cost of flowers such
as the kind sent in memory of Mr..
Duke that there was a small sized
fortune represented in these alone.
Several say that probably five thou
sand dollars worth of flowers were
sent. The designs were placed in the
Duke mausOleum, so far as the build
ing would hold them. and were then
placed about the building.

The testing of these two facprs in

It's importance is emphasized when it

two crops with the small average an
nual yields of 215 pounds lint cotton

pounds per acre will, according to the
census of 1900 increase the annual
profits of the farmers of North Caro-
lima by over $2,140, 900, allowing sixty
cents per bushel for Shelled corn and
three cents per pound for seed cot
