Friday, - - Jancart 18, 1901 WH&T WE EAT Wo saw a statement a couple days ago that a company of Northern men was being organised to save the sur plus melon crop of Georgia, which could . not be profitably shipped to market and therefore went to waste. As Georgia is a great melon producer and the crop is not exhausted before the melons of other States nearer to the principal markets are ripe enough to ship, the surplus is generally a pretty large one. How this company proposes to utilize the melons was not stated, but it doubtless knows what it is If doing and is not simply venturing on an experiment. We are under the impression that we saw a state ment some time ago that a Georgia melon grower was making syrup out of his surplus watermelons and that it was a very Lice syrup, for which he found ready sale. Perhaps this is one of the uses that will be made of the melons by this company. For some years the surplus peach and other fruit crops of Georgia went to waste, as much does now, but in some localities they have established canneries and thus realize value from the whole crop. There are several reasons why the attention of our fruit and vegetable growers should turn to the saving of all their crops, as far as practicable, for, this is ' the only way by which permanent profit may be counted upon, and the business become one with some stability. There are now in the South about twenty millions of people, and most of these are de pendent on Northern canneries for nearly all the canned fruits, vegeta bles, corn, beans, pickles, &c,which they use, and very few of them have any idea of what they are eating when they eat of the contents of these cans or bottles. ' It never oc curs to them that this is a day of food adulteration, and that the un adulterated food or drink is the ex ception. In North Carolina we use a gTat quantity of these canned and bottled goods. 1 r "L , STATE LEGISLATURE. ucu oum .-a i. uiv.B catoes remove eigoiy- pounas or less adulterated, some with pois onous ndulterant8,'ppisonous enough to kill quickly if a large dose be taken, and poisonous enough ' to kill or shatter the health in time when taken in the quantities consumed in eatiug theso preparations. The use of what are called preservatives has be come so common tht.se days that they are found in almost everything eatable, in meats, fresh and salted; in fish, in meats cooked and canned, in vegetables, fruits and nearly everything ' It has become so com mon that little attention is paid to it, although analyses show that some of the preservative agents used are highly poisonous. We can't help buying this stuff and taking the chances when we buy it, if we use these kinds of food, for we don't know what, preserva tives, if any, are used in the brands we buy, land consequently do not know whether we are taking a dose of quick or slow poison or not when we eat a meal of which these constitute a part. As a matter of self-protection, aside from the money there may be in such industries, shouldn't this suggest the establishment of can neries in the fruit and trucking sec tions of the South, where these articles could be put up for our people, where no poison ous preservatives would be used, and upon which our people could rely for their supplies without depending upon Northern canner ies," wMch send out so much adul terated stuff ? There certainly should be among the twenty millions of people in the South, canneries enough to make a market for all the fruits, vegetables, &c. which could be put up. There are plenty of openings for these industries right here in North Carolina. at oi Mactuai rotasniromtne soil. - Unless this quantity 3gEy the following crop will IPIlsiL materially decrease.

The major ity of these fires were doubtless the result of carelessness.

The price of the prime pro duct of Eastern Virginia, which has been very low of late, has within a few dajs passed shown a rise of a cent a pound for all grades. This advance means an instant profit to the peanut raising section vol $500,000. There is no specific reason for tne increase, but the peanut men are jubilant at the prospect of selling their stock at such a notable advance.

Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, January 14. The bill providing for an increase of the Governor's salary from $3 C00 to $4,000 passed the House at 3 P. M. by a vote of 65 to 53, and is now a law. Spirited discussion was in progress from 1 o'clock, the bill's constitution ality being the principal bona of con tention. Hayes and Rouutree were the principal champions of the bill, and Graham against it, as to its constitu tionallty. Others were opposed on the' ground that money was too badly needed to educate poor children so that they would not be disfranchised by the recent constitutional amendment. The vote was by roll call, and many explained their votes. Willard voted against the bill because, he believed its enactment would entail the heavy ex pense of a test law suit on the State to establish its constitutionality. He said he favored an increase of salary, but thought it would be a wise plan to leave tucb action for the next Assem bly. No important bills were introduced in the House to-day. There were many of a local character however. Willard introduced a bill iu'eotpor ating the. James Walker Memorial Hospital.'

Senate Proceedings. The Senate adopted rutes of the last session? with a few minor changes. A sharp discussion occurred on the rights of corporations, brought about by Sen ator Morton of the Corporation Com mittee reporting a substitute for the bill providing a charter for the White- ney Reduction Company. Morrison opposed, on the ground that it was too liberal, and made a general tirade on the rights of corporations.

N New bills and petitions were more numerous than on any previous day. A bill passed the Senate to-day re pealing chapter 170, Acts of 1889, which prohibited chartering corpora tions with capital exceeding one mil lion dollars. The bill goes to the uouse.wun every indication of con currence. A bill also passed, giving consent for United States authorities to acquire land for a forest preserve in western North Carolina. Senator Brown of Columbus intra duced a bill prohibiting the sale of cigarettes in North Carolina.

There was little business of interest in the session of the General Assembly this morning. In the Senate, Broughton introduced a bill for the establishment of the North Carolina Reform School, by an appropriation of $35,000. The Senate bill for the acquisition by the United States of lands in North Carolina for a national forest reserve was taken up, but not voted on. A resolution was adopted thanking Lieutenent Governor Reynolds for fair and impartial rulings as presiding sfficer.

The Tbe semi annual apportionment of the county school fund by the New Hanover Board of School Directors, which was delayed from last Monday on account of a contention raised by the County Commissioners that a part of the whiskey revenue usually paid into the school fund should be applied to other expenses of the county, was made yesterday, the Commissioners, having temporarily abandoned their claim to. the fund until the matter is tested in the courts, which will be done next week when the question will be presented for discussion to Judge Hoke, who will preside over the term of New Hanover Superior Court. The amount invol ved is more than $5,000 annually, this being the sum usually derived by the county from liquor licenses andwhich has gone into the school fund without question until now, for some twenty five years. The Commissioners contend that the sale of liquor in the county increases the Criminal Court expenses and the revenue derived from thia source should be applied to a reduction of the same. The State surrenders its revenue from this source to the school fund and the school authorities claim that the county should do likewise as is the custom with practically all other counties in North Carolina. The following is the apportionment made yesterday, the directors havmg taken a recess from day to day since Monday : Wilmington (1st district).. $ 7.957 25 Wilmington (2nd district ).. 8,115.65 Cape Fear Township 800 09 Federal Point Township. . . 449 83 Mason bo ro Township. 633.00 Harnett Township. 2,102.64 uonungeci iuna 900.00 Nerro Who Confessed to Wreckisr s Fast Train on tbe Plant System Hinged I by a Mob Near Doooeloo.
