WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, . C. Thttbsday Mobstno, Jak 29. SHEEP IN NORTH CAROLINA- We have given some attention, in these columns, to sheep raising as a promising Industry in this State. We are interested in it because we believe there are great possibilities in it, and that if given reasonable attention by our farmers it would be monejin their pockets, and very much money in the aggregate, money made, too, with comparative little labor, and with but little capi tal as an original investment. There are about 42,000,000 of sheep in the United States, but the number South of the Ohio river and East of the Mississippi is insignifi cant compared with the total, while as a matter of fact there is no sec tion in the country better adapted to sheep raising than this same sec tion, if so well adapted. Samuel Archer, who sometime ago came from one of the Western States and bought a farm in Iredell county, where he proposes to engage in sheep raising as a business, writes interest ingly on that subject, his articles appearing in the Charlotte Observer, which gives him as much space as he desires and no doubt correctly thinks it is doing its farmer readers and the State good service, in which we agree with it, for he writes not merely as a man having a theory or a fad, but as a man who has experi ence, knowledge of what he writes, and is withal an observer and a thinker. As far as we know he has never been in Eastern North Caro lina, but he has been in the sheep raising sections of Texas, New Mex ico and Colorado, and in the Central Western States, where attention is given to sheep raising, and the con clusion he has arrived is that Cen tral and Western North Carolina have advantages in that industry over any of those sections, and is an ideal region for sheep raising, either for wool or for mutton, or for both. He is not alone in this opinion, for- we have occa sionally read in the Progressive Farmer communications from North Carolina farmers giving their ex perience in sheep raising, the cost and the income, leaving the bal ance decidedly on the profit side, figures that would be persuasive enough one would think to induce every tanner to have some sheep, few or many, in accordance with his ability to care for them. Having heard that General Cox gives Borne attention to raising sheep in Eastern North Carolina, Mr. Archer wrote to him to ascertain what his experience was and here is his reply: " Pkcxlo, N. O, Deo. 27, 1903. Dear Sir: In reply to your favor I beg to say, I have been partially en gaged in sheep husbandry for Borne ten yean. I have mainly good Shrop shire! and they pay 100 per cent per annum. When I began raising them the ordinary Iambi of this county sold from 75 cents to $1 each. I have re ceived in the local markets offers of $2.60 etch for my lambs the ensuing season. My sheep run out and receive bat little care, they are herded night ly with my cattle. Oar native grasses are lespidya, broom, wire, nnt, spear, crab or crop grass, etc. For my stock generally I plant annual or crimson clover, cow peas, rye, etc, but to no great extent. My lamb? are dropped from December to May, and I rely on twins to make them equal, if not ex ceed the original flock. Indeed, I had an ordinary grade ewe, which gave birth to three seta of twins one year, and all were very fine, the first pair weighed from 60 to 65 pounds each by the first of May. I have flocks on sepa rate farms, and if their products were shipped to Northern markets, I would realize double the price I get for them at our local markets. I should men tion, the'sheep have access to my corn fields from the latter part of August and also my cotton fields, after the crops are, in the main, housed. If wil ling to devote my time and care to sheep-raising I could readily increase their number to several thousands. The wool pays for the feed and care. The negroes in this section have the usual number of dogs, but it is not, "the poor man's friend" that worries sheep. While others have sheep in this county, I have heard of but one rumor of dogs worrying them in some years. Not I have no experience with wool sheep, and am fully content with the Downs for mutton. Our winters are so open, our sheep need little protect and our summers so warm I fear the wool sheep would , suffer from exces sive heat . ' I think the wool sheep might be profitably raised in the Piedmont sec tion of our State, but question whether they would be found profitable in the extreme west, where housing and feed ing would materially lessen the prof its. You will understand, I am but an amateur sheep-raiser, or I would use turnips, vetches, red clover, and some of the finer grasses for them, all of which might be done with profit to our husbandry. The droppings of the sheep, while valuable, are but little considered by me, but then the sheep are admirable weed exterminators. - -Very respectfully yours. Wm. B. COX. Upon which Mr. Archer comments ' as follows: . I like this letter because it is plain and practical from the standpoint of a planter. However much thorough- Sing, practical sheepmen might take ue with it as to kind of sheen and inanagement, yet this gentleman is evidently keeping some sheep with great success, scattered about, pro tected and sheltered, mostly by the kindly hornaof his cattle with which they are herded nightly." The gen jWentlrOTies sheep as a kind of "side line" to his cotton and other plantation business. He has no dis astrous failures to record nor no com plaints to make about having to 'change sheep" every few years, nor want of fresh pasture, nor the zsnif- FS aJi0!,0 "rot" (whatever that Is), but his sheep get plenty to eat and come up with a hundred per cent atrilmad everv -vear. 'Thai. nnmK. he dearly sees, could be "increased to several .thouiands," and he says that the wool pays for their feed and care. He bints strongly that the poor man's do is, not .a dangerous as others that worry. He is contented with his "Doww," out n "experience vM',b wool sheep ue ..-7Jo,, .ov.

What the corn regions of our nation have been to the great stock growing West, so the lower South can be to the nindmont and mountain region of the South. What the sheep grazing regions of the West are now . lor tne grain growing valley of the Mississippi, so mountains, hills, valleys and plateaus of the northern South may be in rais ing sheep for the lower South and coast regions with her great producing plains and valleys, where they may be fed off to her great consuming city markets of the future ana m u Northwest now. If the South is to grow great she must have the elements of greatness developed within her and the sheep business for wool and mut ton is an essential one among those that are important Commenting upon the doubts expressed by General Cox that it would be practicable to raise sheep' in Eastern North Carolina for their wool on account of the length and warmth of the Summers, or in West ern NorthCarolina, on account of the Winters, necessitating housing and herd feeding, Mr. Archer remarks that he had seen Merino sheep, raised mainly for their wool, in Southern Texas where the climate was similar to that of central Flori da, and although the stock was imported from West Virginia and Pennsylvania they suffered none from the heat and stood it as well as sheep imported from Mexico, while in point of rigors of Winter Western North Carolina is noth ing to compare with Colorado and other Western and Central Western States where sheep are raised mainly for their wool and are found to be profitable, although they have to be kept under cover for several months, and depend mainly if not altogether on hand feeding. With a few sheep to start with, and a very little outlay of money, the farmer who gave his sheep any care would in a few years have a flock that would pay him well. Such testimony as this of General Cox, who writes carefully, is weighty and shows that there is a handsome profit in the business. There is at least enough in it to encourage our farmers to give some attention to the neglected and unappreciated sheep, one of the farmer's best friends. v ' THE ISLE OF PINES. In view of the squabble over pay ing taxes to the Cuban Government by the Americans living on the Isle of Pines, of whom it is said there are about three hundred, Senator Carmack has offered a resolution asking for information as to the status of the island, whether it is claimed by this Government or has been turned over to Cuba, as no body seems to know just how it is. The Americans who kick against paying taxes to Cuba contend that it is American territory and that it is cheeky on the part of the Cuban authorities to undertake to collect taxes from them. The claim that it belongs to the United States is based on the fact that it is net mentioned in the treaty of peace between the United States and Spain, when the fact probably is that it was either con sidered as being a part of Cuba and therefore unnecessary to be men tioned, or was so insignificant as not to be worth considering. - In the Piatt amendment provision- was made as to determining its status by agreement with Cuba. As far aa we know that is about the situation, nothing definite or final having been yet done in that matter, the general impression being that the island would be turned over to Cuba, of which it was al ways considered a part. This might probably have been done by this time if it were not for the fact that the island contains valuable marble deposits, of which Americans have secured possession, Senator Proctor, of Vermont, being one of the prin cipal holders. Aside from that it is not regarded as of much import ance, and not worth squabbling about. The three hundred Americans who have squatted there are sooners who have doubtless done some grabbing, and don't want to pay taxes to Cuba or any one else if they can dodge it. A Cleveland, Ohio bride, of three months, of good family, has .con fessed that she joined her husband in twenty house robberies. When arrested her. husband said his wife knew nothing about it and that the stolen articles found in her posses sion came from him without her knowing how he got them. Bnt his efforts to soreen her were foiled by her confession, and .she didn't seem to be a bit serious about it. It is said that the hoodo hangs over the 13th floors of the New York sky scrapers, which de not rent as readily as the other floors. Some of the owners try to fool people by dodging the 13 and numbering the floors with hieroglyphics or other symbols un known to the-uninitiated. . - v r "For jLaGxippe and In fluenza use CHENEY'S EXPECTORANT For sale bv J. o.

The Atlanta Journal asks why their should not he paper - mills in Georgia, and the same question might be asked as to other Southern States, in every one of .which the conditions are favorable to that in dustry. Previous to and for some ... i i. iL. years alter tne war Deiweeu ue. States we .had several paper mills in North Carolina, which largely if not altogether supplied the home demand for printing, wrapping and other kinds of ordinary paper. There was one in . Wake county, one in Salem (probably, the first in the South,) one at Lincolton, and perhaps others. These did a paying . business until they had to compete- with wood pulp paper, which they couldn't do, and went under. But the men who operated them knew how to make paper, and good paper, such aa they did make. The paper-making business is now practically confined to the North, where the materials used are becom ing annually scarcer,and where it is only a question of time when they will be practically exhaused, while in the South there is an abundance of materia, most of which is now going to waste, or grows unnoticed and unutilized, and is considered rather a nuisance. Tests have shown that cotton seed hulls make an ex cellent paper, and also the saw palmetto which grows so abundant ly in some of the States- South of us, and so probably would cotton stalks hnd corn stalks, while there are several varieties of trees, now used for that purpose in the North, which grow in abundance and are valueless for anything else. An abundant supply of clear wa ter we believe is one of the essentials to success in this business, but there are plenty of streams to supply this everywhere in the South, especially in the Piedmont region, where this industry ought to flourish and doubtless would if ' started in the right way and well managed. There is an oldfellow in the Penn sylvania oil regions who in 1871 built a tank and filled it with 7,000 barrels of oil,, which he declared he wouldn't sell for less than $5 a bar rel. He has it yet, and as the price now is about $1.50 a barrel, he is likely to have it for some time. In the West they are cultivating a new grain, a sort of cross between wheat and corn. The kernels re semble ordinary wheat, but are about twice as large, and yield from 60 to 100 bushels to the acre. It will grow in the Pacific States, where corn does not thrive. BOOK NOTICES.

Simple bats are made of straw and trimmed with a scarf of soft silk with fringed ends, and the black hat is of course as popular as ever, made either In rolls of criu and trimmed .with flow ers or in: folds of tulle and trimmed with black ostrich feathers. A pretty way of trimming a black hat is to bind the under brim with rolls of white chiffon, laying over this jet butterflies, and the crown of this will be found encircled with a scarf of soft black satin, the ends arranged to fall over the hair. If there be one shape more especially In favor than another it is that which turns down on the forehead and makes a curve up at the back, the back being filled in with velvet bows or bunches of flowers, j The silk confection of the cut shows some of the elaboration of the up to date dress.

RTlae Making, and the Harrias; of Many Gowns Now Lie In These. , Sleeves have attained the very acme Of elegance. Almost the first detail the fcya of the experieisced dresser travels to in some Jiovel des'.gn is thev sleeve, fn find more likely than not the chief jjecret of success resting there. The' 'present Immense decora tiveness of sleeves has developed by a process most gentle and discreet, and to the gown of determinedly simple aspect, such as those in ."the inner, circles" now affect the sleeve plays a most important part As things go,, for the immediate mo ment the tendency is to keep the shoul ders flat and close, the elbow or just below being marked by some extrava gant excrescence in the form of a puff, and it Is upon the length and breadth and general disposal of this latter that variety is brought to play. . The latest evolvement of the always popular bishop sleeve is distinguished, as shown midway of the pictured group, by the fullness being laid in a box plait at the back of the wrist and the arm nicely denned on either side. The tailoring world Is disposed to make much of this neat arrangement in the cause of gowns of severe style. Nor will' furriers be far behind in appre ciation of its merits, since it is a model that meets the decrees of shapeliness and style. A little to the right we find a perfect pattern for the heavier woolen stuffs Of the deep cull disposed in a series of stitched bands, each one decoratively held by a button. Above comes the Inevitable long, drooping puff, the full ness from the shoulder divided into three double box plaits, pressed and stitched down invisibly from the in side, though presumably held taut by two buttons. And this again Is a de sign likely to be included in the tailor fcategory as well as the rather mediaeval affair beneath it at the left, which, in point of novelty, we may perhaps re gard aa the chef d'eeuvre of the collec- VBTBT PI SLKBVES. tion. There has been, a marked feeling throughout the last few months for the long, shaped shoulder epaulet or. cape, and of a fact no more graceful result could have been achieved than this elongated close fitting upper part, which ' forms, together with, a corre spondingly deep cuff, a sort of restrain ing sheath . to the exuberant puff. A velvet sleeve with a silk puff is assur edly worthy of serious consideration. The picturesque bell sleeve set Into a turnback cuff Is a clever:, pattern especially destined for a sack coat or paletot, in velvet or cloth for the pres ent and later on In fur. and the double Unrestrained bell model at the summit of the cut is most suitable to matronly wear. -' The evening sleeves must perfor speak for themselves. , " SVeaka of the Tariff.
