' -It is exceptional that a farmer who has bestowed the labor of a good farmer on his crop does not say his cotton crop is more promising than it has been for years. The same report of the corn crop is almost equally true- "Loutsbnrg Times: We are sor ry to learn that Mrs. Wiilie Solomon, of this county, fell a few days ago. breaking her knee pan. She is m her 93d year., In nearly every section of Franklin the crops have much improved, . and where they have been well worked, so a farmer tells us, corn is first-class and cotton much above that of the past few years; while to bacco, except in some Instances,' is only moderate.

Leary raised sixteen barrels of corn on one acre of ground. -Reports from Nag's Head say that the place is crowded and in sufficient . for the increasing patronage of the place. This place will be the Long Branch of the South.

C, THURSDAY, Deatb of CoJ. II. B. Short - Coir H. B. Short, a prominent citizen of Columbus county, died at the Orton House in this city last - night, , about half past 0 o'clock, in the sixty-second year of bis age. His death resulted from no specific disease but rather from general exhaustion of the system. About' six weeks ago Col.- Short went "to New York and,'; after a brief so journ in that city, feeling unwell, he . re turned home, - going thence to. Smithville. But receiving no benefit1 there, he came to Wilmington, stopping at the Orton,. where he was compelled to take" to bis bed and gradually sank until he died: His family were with him throughout his illness in this City, "and many friends' w re constant in their attentions and solicitude in his be half. . , . :,- .: : - ;--'i't - j Col.

The scuppernong grape season has open ed and ' farmers and others in these parts will ere long have presses at work turning out quantities of 80 called wine, which doubtless would be good enough if they knew how to make it properly. ; An expert n .wine-making gives some bints 'in this direction that may be of service to amateur wine makers. He says: - - .-" "It is the custom 1 in California and in France to crush the grapes and allow- the pomace to remain In the juice from twelve to twenty-four hours and even longer be fore pressing. This given additional tanin and 'more body and richer color to the wine. ' : $, -f "Good dry wines are the wines that wine drinking people want, and they, will have no other., , A dry wine is that in which all the sugar contained. in the . juice has gone through the process of fermentation. Fer mentation converts sugar into alcohol and carbonic acid gas, the gas escaping. Twen ty-five per cent, of the sugar in grape luice will ordinarily produce about 12 per cent, of alcohol in the wine sufficient to pre serve it. If the fermentation is not com plete, that is to say, if all the sugar is not fermentbd, or, as the California people ex press, if the wine is not 'fermented out dry,' the wine . will be sweet, and unless very carefully managed -and watched, or unless alcohol is added, it will be very lia ble to sour or cloud into an unpalatable stuff that wine drinkers will not have. Neither sweet wines nor wines dosed with alcohol to preserve them are the kinds of wines to sell to wine-dnnklng people: nor are they. wines' that will encourage home people to drink wine instead of whiskey and beer. The stomach rebels against their use. It behooves our. wine-makers," there fore, to learn to - make, keep and handle good dry wines devoid of sugar and ex cess of alcohol. -The main purpose of alcohol in wine is to preserve it. How much alcohol is necessary for this purpose? In California they frequent ly reduce the . percentage of . sugar below . that of ; the normal juice, and ferment it at from 18 to 23 per cent. of. sugar,, resulting in from 0 to 11 per cent, of alcohol. , When It is known that most of the grapes grown in this State contain, when dead ripe, nearly 80 per cent, of sugar in the iuice, and when it is known also that . in California the wine makers consider it very difficult to completely 'ferment out dry a juice con taining over 28 per cent, or sugar, it iooes like superfluous foolishness to add two and three pounds of cane sugar to the gallon of juice, ', as is' practiced commonly, in this State- The very opposite a reduction or tho percentage of sugar is what is needed to make a dry wine. This reduction is ac complished by the uso of pure water; in which case the , use of - small ' quanti ties of tannin say at the rate of one- fourth of a pound or - less to a hundred gallons is advisable to give the wine character and color, and. to pre vent souring. . All . wine makers should have a Balling saccharometer. It is stated by good authority that what is called cc ilk sour does not occur in wine unless there is sugar in it that is. unless a part of the sugar remains unfermented, and is the original . unconverted saccharine., matter, sweet to the taste. - -) "These things aie clear: To make a good, palatable dry wine not more than 25 per cent, of sugar is -necessary; less will do. The temperature during the fermentation must not be too high or too low ; either will arrest fermentation. Between sixty-uve and seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit is the proper temperature.
