CUBAN HONEY AND BEESWAX.

Consul-General James L. Rodgers,
in answer to inquiries, furnishes the
information concerning the exporta-
ton Of honey and beesWax from
Cuba:
Although there are large amounts
of these products exported, there has
been no practical exploitation Of the
buainess. except on a few places owned
by Europeans.
According to the last available sta
tistics, the exports Of honey for n
year amounted to 6,712,533 pounds Of
which a little less than so per cen
went to Germany, about % per cent
to France, bou Is per cent to the
United States. and the remainder to
various European countries.
The exports Of wax, which was
principally produced from honey, dur
ing the year, amounted to 1,3S3,464
pounds, of which Germany took a lit
tie less thar SO per cent. the United
States about 25 per cent. rance about
20 per cent, remainder being dis
tributed among various European
countries.
The keeping of bees is Of general
practice in the country districts, and
the hiving and all other matters con-
nected Herewith are Of a most print
tive character, the i've being usually
a section Of a palm trunk, and no
particular care IS taken 10 preserve
the life Of the hive during the taking
Of the honey. Such practice, it should
be understood. is not followed at the
modern apiaries, where there is as
careful treatment and as modern APP
~paratus as is found in any country.
All varieties of bees, especially the
Italian. thrive exceedingly Well in
Cuba. there being an abundance of the
plant life needed for their mainte-
nance.

FINE LAND ABOUT HAMLET.
Sandhiil ScotchInan Cleared at Rate
OF S133 on Acre.

Hamlet, May 4.-Sandhill cotton
farming is on a boom this year. Most
Of the crop is planted and is coning
up rapidly. More is planted than ever
before and judging from past expert
nee more will be planted next year.
Last year Will Clark, a native Sand
hill Scotchman, living two miles south
of Hamlet, planted one and a half
acres in IN improved seed OF cotton.
He put a half ton of commercial fer
tilizers costing him s16.25 On the
plot. He paid S11.25 for cultivation
and $3.50 for picking out $500
pounds of seed cotton. He sold the
lint and seed for S244.0O. After pay
ing all expenses he cleared 5000 or
the plot. Making money at the rate
OF 1888 per acre.
The Eli Smith plantation was sold
at auction Monday and was bid in by
Paul Smith for S46.03 per acre. This
property lies neal Hamlet and Is in

WHAT IRE BRAINS For


1t has been we'll said hat a man
from MS eyes down is worth a. dollar
and a half q day, While from his eyes
up he Is worth up to hundreds Of dol
lars a oay, n reason that SO many
people are not worth more is that they
uo not use their brains, being content
70 follow methods and practices that
have been handed down, that perhaps
do not meet present day conditions
at any rate can not meet them as we'll
as What has been WORKED out lately.
1t IS necessary to ind out the best
that Is known ON any subject that one
has in hand; then with that as a start
ing point, work out new methods and
practices. Oftentimes one finds a
farmer who doe not have a good
library OF agricultural books and does
not even take agricultural papers, and
no n had more time to read and
study.
Go into the doctors or lawyers
office and you will find a library cost
Ing from five hundred to five thousand
dollars or more, and several medical
Or law journals. When a difficult
case comes up they ransack their
libraries, going through the books that
treat Of the particular subject in hand
and the journals. Then they will
call in fellow doctors or lawyers. They
do not propose to take any chances
that it lies within their power to avoid.
Does the farmer turn to his library,
to. the agricultural papers and to the
experiment station bulletins when he
has a problem? A good many do, but
why not more Of them? When a crop
is to be grown-the best that is known
on the growing Of that crop should be
brought into play in preparing the
soil, in selecting the seed, in caring
for the crop. When stock is to be
raised the best knowledge available
should be used in selecting the stock,
in breeding them, in feeding them, in
caring for them, and in marketing
them. And SO on with the different
operations on the farm. This is
where the man from the eyes up comes
in, and remember that it is this kind
of work that pays.
The farmer should have a library
containing the latest agricultural
books, the experiment station bulletins
and the agricultural papers. This will
bring into his home the best that is
known on the different phases Of
farming. One hundred dollars, OF
even twenty-five dollars would make q
pretty good start. And if use was
made Of it, it's teachings applied to the
different farm operations, the returns
you'd be several times one hundred
dollars greater each rear han under
the hit and miss plan. What would be
even more Of a remuneration would be
the interest and satisfaction that
comes from work well done, from be-
ing master Of conditions, instead Of
slaves to them. We like to do what
we can do we'll. The farmer canno,
afford to AXE chances any more than
the doctor or the lawyer. It will be
his own fault if he does, as the in
formation is to be had if he will sim
ply work his brains.

"Ihe Judgment" Declared to Be a
Most Graphic Story Written by Mrs.
Mary II. ii. King. Granddaughter of
Judge Kenneth RaYncr. of Raleigh.

ouuSe hennetn fEay1Nr, Oh FaIcISH.
a book that is declared to be a lit
erary sensation, and which is pro-
nounced by expert critics as one of
the most startling and intensely dra-
matte stories of the day is THE Judg-
nent," a novel just issued, by Mrs.
Mary King, Of Texas. illustrated by
Julian Onderdonk, of San Antonio.
While the book in itself is said to
De OF absorbing power, there will be
aided interest in Raleigh. North Caro-
una, in the production because Mrs.
King is descended from North Caro-
ana stock, her grandfather a Raleigh
man, her mother born IN Raleigh, her
father a Tarboro man. She is the
granddaughter of Judge Kenneth
ttayner, whose home was once at the
mead OF BlOunt street, in the section
beyond the Governors Mansion, and
Aer mother was formerly Miss Sallie
FOLK Rayner. born in this city: her
rather Col. j. II. LYMAN, of Tarboro,
commander of the Thirteenth North
Carollna Regiment during the Civil
War. She is a g~randniece of Bishop
Leonidas Polk, of Louisiana, and
SrYat-granddaughter Of Col. William
F9lk, Of Revolutionary War fame.
n old Polk residence was a well
known ONE in Raleigh years ago, and
Il was occupied by Judge Kenneth
kayner and his family. That resi-
dence was finally moved to Pilot Mills
and it is now used as q hall and school
room there.
Miss Mary r. H. Lyman, Judge
granddaughter. married Mr..
oIlas L. King a west Texas ranchman.
ohe has many relatives in North Caro-
ma now, and in Raleigh among those
are the Badgers. the Hoggs and the
d~ayWoods. the family relationship be-
ing large. Her book, which has made
a great impression upon the critics, is
certain to attract attention in North
Carolina.
