SHOCKING CRUELTY.

One of the most shocking cases Of
cruelty in this city's annals has just
come to light. A man prominent in
business circles is reported to have
cody neglected to furnish his wife
with rub-a-lac for her washing. He
evidently does not understand its val
ue or he would not be SO careless. Ask
your grocer about it. He will explain
it's powers and how it will whiten the
clothes.

GIANT TURNIPS.
Some Interesting Figures About tho
GuiIford Turnip Crop.

Greensboro, N. C.-The immense
crops of turnips raised in Guilford
this season would seem to prove that
it has been the dryest fall seen here
in many All the turnipa
brought to market are big ones. and
farmers say they never saw Euch
fine crops. Mr.. Sam Davis, a pro-
gressive farmer had some especially
fine ones this morning. The grocer
purchasing the lot selected nine Of
the most perfectly formed roots and
weighed them, the indicator marking
the A pound notch, a fraction less
than 5 pounds each. So near alike
and SO perfect in form were these
turnips that there was no percepti-
BILE, difference, further weighing Of the
roots separately showing the heaviest
one to weigh 5 pounds and two
ounces. The tops had of course been
cut off. Mr.. Davis stating that the
salad from each root would almost
fill q peck measure, making a meal
for a good sized family, or for a
milk COW. The circumference Of the
largest Of these turnips is % inches,
its width being a fraction over sever
inches. In view of recent discus
sions in the as to how
many turnips could be grown on an
acre of land, Mr.. r. d. Douglas,
G~reensboro's excellent postmaster,
who is also a lawyer, editor, farmer,
politician, civil engineer and good at
figures, with these nine turnips as a
basis of estimate, and mathematical
calculation, has figured out six thou
sand bushels Of turnips Of his kind
could be produced from one acre,
and the salad therefrom, if piled up,
would lake a mountain of greens
weighing at least fifteen tons. Fact
is, the possibilities Of North Carolina
improved intensive farming are so
vast, when the cold figures like Mr..
Douglas has worked out, with the
goods right before his eyes, are
honestly given, they appear to the
casual reader Gotten to a news edi-
tors ignorant Of farm n1atters) so
exaggerated the matter is treated as
either a good joke or a bad lie. But
IN the case Of these turnips, MIR.
Davis has raised them and they are
here on exhibition, and any other
good figurer and farmer can take
dimensions and verify Mr..
acre product in rows
eighteen inches apart. a big turnip
filling every eight incl gap in the
row, growing fou inches above and
tive inches below the surface.
