Remarkable Story of Yield of Swee
Potatoes In Arson County.

Remarkable Story of Yield of Swee
Potatoes In Arson County.
Wadesboro Messenger
If it were not for the fact that
the gentlemen who vouch for the
following account Of an immense
yield of sweet potatoes, are possessed
of characters for veracity that will
not be questioned where they are
known, the Messenger and Intelli.
gencer would not expect their state
ment about the same to be believed.
Uncle Beu Gulledge, Dr.. J. E. Hare
and Messrs. J. P. Ratcliff and W. T.
Webb, all citizens of the good old
township of Gulledge, are the gen.
tlemen referred to, and the word OF
Uncle Ben alone will carry convic.
ton to the mind IF any person who
knows him. The patch of potatoes
in question-one fourth of an acre
belonged to Mr.. Webb, and yielded,
according to the statement of these
gentlemen 1,760 bushels of juicy
Norton yams. Mr.. Ratcliff arrived
at the yield by complicated pro-
cess of figuring known only to him.
self and DR.. Hart, who owns q tract
of land near by, loaned Mr.. Webb
a portion of it, to hill the potatoes
on, the quarter Of an acre not being
sufficient for that purpose.

Daniels and the State Printing.
Raleigh Evening Times.

While the subject is up, suppose
the old unre-liar- able tell the tax
payers of North Carolina how much
of their money went into the greedy
pockets Of Joe Daniels, while his
paper held the State printing con-
tract at figures so much above cost
and good profit that it furnished a
fine net profit to him and his SUBJ
contractor, Edwards and Broughton,
also?
For years Daniels robbed the State
treasury of North Carolina by this
piece of sharp practice.
1t is familiar history, though some
may have forgotten it, that the old
distorter was made Public Prin 81
and given the work at Daniels earn
est solicitation.
He contracted with the State to
do the work when he didn't have q
job press in his Office, nor any other
equipment that could be utilized tc
do the work.
He contracted with the State to
do the work at a figure which he
knew was exhorbitant and 80 largely
In excess of actual cost that he knew
he could sub let his contract and
still make q pile of money out Of
the job each year.
Had the State directly paid the
printing firm of Edwards and
BrOughton, which did the work, il
could have saved the State thousands
of dollars of the peoples money or
this work.
But instead it went into the pri
vate pocket of Josephus Daniels.
Even the stockholders" of the
Distorter did not get a chance at tn.
rake-off; for Joe had the contract IL
his Individual name.
And this is the holier.than.thol
swindler, who is now stretching hi
guilty arms to heaven in mock in

What has become Of the report OF
the Committee that investigated the
management of the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad while
Aycock was Governor We under
stand that this report cannot now be
found In the Governors office. 1t
cost the taxpayers Of the State
large sum of money to pay for that
investigation. And while the re-
port of the Committee was never
made public 1t was no ones private
property to be destroyed at will or
to be taken from the Governors
Office, but was the States property
and should now be on file in the
Governors office. If the report has
been destroyed, who destroyed it
and for what purpose? If the re-
port has been taken from the Gov
errors Office by some one, who took
1t and for what purpose was it
taken? Newspaper men and other
outsiders were refused even a look
at the report of the Committee. The
report must have told Of how many
Democratic politicians were wined
and dined at the States hotel and
given free passes over the road at
the expense of the taxpayers of the
State.
1t appears that the report has
either been destroyed, stolen or
taken from the Governors office
with malice aforetnought, to prevent
any future Governor from unfolding
its pages to an anxious public. This
matter should be thoroughly inves.
tigated. If the report has been re-
moved by some one it should be re.
placed in the archives Of the Gov
ernor's Office if has been destroyed
the guilty one should be properly
punished.
THE CAUCASIAN will probably be
the first paper to give this bit OF
news to the public. Now, that the
matter has been made public, We
await developments.

TURKISH MACHINE SHOPS.
An lncreasene Field for Equipment of
 Every Description.

Washington, June 26.-(Special.) .)-Consul E. l.. Harris reports that until 1857 there
 was not factory of any kind in Smyrna
 which manufactured steam engines or supplies. He adds:
 The completion of the Aidin railway
 gave an impulse to this industry, which
 was further augmented by the introduc- ton of cotton growing, which created a demand for iron products. There are at
 present three large machine factories in smyrna and a number of small ones. They manufacture engines, boilers, hydraulic oil presses steam and hand pumps, mill ing machinery, tanks for water and oil,
 carts and rather primitive agricultural
 machinery.
 The annual output of machinery by the factories is not known. but it is not on
 the increase. This is due to the competi-
 ton caused by imported machines. Local
 manufacturers are being compelled to adapt themselves to the circumstances of manufacturing parts and supplies which are being used more and more in
 the way. of repairs to the engines and machinery imported from abroad. This goes to prove that there is an in- creasing field for machines of every de- scription in Turkey. This fact should be noted by American manufacturers, for the reason that, if proper steps were talk en, there is practically no limit to the trade which may be secured when this
 country is properly opened up.
