PRACTICING FRAUD.
Cabbage Seed Dealers Liable to be
Given Serious Trouble.

Mr. II. Hume State Horticulturist
has returned from New Bern, where
he mas a test farm, on which are 279
varieties OF cdbbages. This is Mr..
Hume's fourth visit to the farms and
he will make but one further trip.
He has discovered that several lots
of seed that he used were extremely
impure, showing a. large mixture Of
varieties, and a great many were un-
true to name. Mr.. w. w. Tracy. of
the United States Department of
Agriculture examined the plats with
Mr. Hume, and he too said that certain
seed growers, whose names We're
withheld but may be disclosed later,
had disposed by sale of as many as ii
varieties of seed in one bag. Unless
this practice of fraud is discontinued
it will result in serious trouble for the
guilty dealers and growers.
Some of the kinds of cabbages have
not yet matured, and this will require
another visit for observation by Mr..
Hume but the great majority of Varie-
ties are ready for cutting, and the
shipping of these to New York and
Philadelphia was begun yesterday
The results of the experiments on
this farm have determined that for
Eastern North Carolina the European
and Puget Sound cabbage seed are in
ferior to the Long Island grown seed,
as they are more susceptible to injury
from cold, resulting in either complete
destruction of the plant or stuntin% OF
the growth so as to cause the cab
bages to form seed stalks instead Of
heads. This one point said Mr..
Hume will justify all the expense con-
nected with the experiments The
early Jersey and Charlestown Wake
field have given most satisfaction. al
though in some cases the seedsmen
appear to have sold both varieties out
of tho same stock.

sTREET INlPRoVEMENTs.
Unhealthy and Dangerous Ditch on
South Blount Street Removed.

One of the best street improvements
ever seen in Raleigh is the abolition
of the unhealthful, ugly and danger
Gus gutter and ditch on Blount street,
between New Bern avenue and Le-
noir street, which in someDlaces has
bred disease, and everywhere distort-
ed the appearance of the street.
This work has been under way for
several weeks, and from New Bern
avenue to Martin street has been
nearly completed. In the old ditch
has been placed 24-inch terra Gotta
piping, and as this ditch carries
off the drainage from the Capitol
Square and Wilmington and part of
Fayetteville street, from Hargett
street South, two of these pipes are
laid, and there is a receiver at every
corner. Steam drills. instead of the
hand, are being used for making the
joints in the thing. Many beau
tiful but useless shade trees have been
cut down, and hundreds of tons of
dirt hauled from other places,
have been used to fill up the big ditch,
which at some places was twenty feet
in width, and from four to ten and
fifteen feet in depth.
The ditch ends just outside the city
limits, below Shaw University, and
empties into stone cudvert run
TO get to the stream. The culvert will
remain, the tiling being discontinued
at Lenoir street. This is wonder
ful i'm orovement to South Blount
street.
New Bern avenue has been macad-
amized and widened as far us the city
cemetery, and the work is held up
there by a man who recently built
new house on part of the ground
hi IA viii ha n n md a. y
and as soon as a board of appraisers
has been appointed and the damages
assessed, the work will be resumed.
The elevation on the avenue at this
place has been cut away, and more
will be hauled off when the work pro-
ceeds a little farther. The avenue will
be macadamiZed and widened to the
usual width of that street to where it
meets the county roads 'Fhe previous
condition of this street has prevented
a great many farmers from bringing
their produce, cotton and tobacco
to Raleigh, as they had good roads
in the county; but as they reached
Raleigh, they were almost swallowed
up IN red mud and mire.
Mcdowell street from Martin to
HarSett will soon be macadamized,
and the corner of New Bern avenue
and Blount will be macadamiZed
tween East Jones and Lane, will be
cut away. On the land at the
bottom of this hill. which here

dirt, ashes, etc., and one-half of the
bottom has been filled, but the work
will soon be completed, and 10000

Gray.

Just forty years ago the great army
of the Southern Confederacy surren-
dercd at AppomattoX. Just forty
years ago the men of the South saw
their sun o. hope go down.
They came home-those of them
that were left-to rebuild their fallen
fortunes. But there were many who
came not back again and many
whose cold forms were borne by COM
rades to find Il resting place III their
native soil.
1t was thus that the observance Of
Memorial Day came about Deauti-
ful custom established to preserve the
memory of the Confederate dead. In
every State where the heroes of the
Lost Cause lie buried either May 10
or some other day is set apart for the
decoration of SConfederate graves.
The names Of the heroes of that
cause can never die. They are as inn
perishable as the very country for
which they yielded up their life's
blood What wonder then then that
we 9hou,d vie with ach other in hon
oring their memory? For such use
no flower is too fair, no ivy wreath
too green, no rose too regal in it's
beauty! Lay them all, with throb-
bing heart and tender hand, upon
the graves of the men who sacrificed
SO much for their country and loved
ones.
Memorial Day means that the men
who died amid storm og shot and
shell, on battlefield and in hospitals
will live as long as love doth live 1t
means that the causef or which they
perished can nver die. 1t means that
in al the Southland, on such days,
every flower waves a banner for the
heroic dead.
The reveilIe has been sounded, but
the tattoo will never be heard. The
setting sun will find flowers upon the
grave of every man of the gray. gild-
ing with beauty the very gloom of
their glorious graves.

GOVERNMENT AID
In determination of the
Southern Cattle Fever
Tick.

The Federal Department of Agricul-
ture has at last realized its duty to-
ward the cattle industry of the South
and has taken the first step toward the
determination of the cattle tick.
While in the past the government
has expended enormous sums Oh mon
ey in stamping out CONTIGUOUS pleu, -. =
pneumonia and foot and mouth dl-
seases from cattle of the North ana
Eastern states. it has never done any
thing for the Southern cattle pest, the
tick fever, except to place quafan-
tine on the. thirteen southern states,
thereby reducing the price at least one
quarter cent per pound, because OF the
restriction on the marketing OF cat
tie.
Representatives of the United States
Danartment of Agriculture here Wis
tied several Southern States, ascertain
ino the exact condition of the various
kinds of cattle their peculiar diseases,
and the relations the United States De-
nartment should bear toward the
Southern States in remedying these
conditions.
In speaking CO the pest and the
Federal restrictions, DR.. TAFT Butler,
State Veterinarian, said:
'Those who have given such mat
terS consideration know that an en-
barge on a free exchange of the pro-
ducts of any industry is the most SER
ious obstacle TO its development, and
il is safe to state that the present un-
developed condition of the Southern
cattle industry is to very great eX-
tent the result of the ravages of the
fever tick and the attendant Federal
quarantine restrictions. To reach the
hest markets our cattle must go north
of the quarantine line and must be
slaughtered at once or go back home.
The buyers know this, and pay from
1-3c 30 1-2c per pound less for them
than for cattle of the same quality
from north of the quarantine line.
1.-The six counties which have been
released from all Federal quarantine
restrictions. because we have eXteI-
minated the fever ticks within their
borders, sell about $150,000 worth OF
cattle annually. If the price of these
cattle was reduced only 1-3c per
pound. it meant an annual loss of one
tenth of $150,000. or $4,000 which
exceeds the entire amount expended in
exterminating the ticks in those cOun-
ties"
