I have v been a sufferer from
chronic diarrhoea ever Bince the
war and have used all kinds of
medicines for it. At last I found
one remedy that has been a success
as a cure, and that is Chamber

fair to be th most profitable one
underexisting conditions, and that
is the rice-crop a good many
years for a reason easily explain
ed. Statistics show that the.Uuit
ed States has only grown about
one-fpurth of the rice she con.
sumes, and of last years, barely
one-eight. One reason is that this
crop can only be grown in a small
portion of about four States, to wit.
North Carol ina, South Carolina,
Georgia and Louisiana. In the
second place, the low import duty
on rice for many j:ears past made
it easy for China, Japan and other
ricegrowing countries to invade
our markets and sell the article at
such low prices as to make it uu-
profiatble for our farmers to com
plete with them. Now the eondU
t ions are changed. Our last Con
gress put a duty equal to thirty-
tour cents per bushel on rough
rice. This, with the freight charges
from foreign coutries, will give
our planters a protection equeal to
fifty cents per bushel, and just as
long as this duty remains in force
our rice planters may gather a rich
harvest. Good upland rice was
readily selling at ninety cents per
bushel this season, while lowland
riec sold as high as $1.30 per
bushel. The secretary of the Caro
lana Rice Mills in this city inform
us that they bought the rice crop
of four farmers living on the Cape
Fear river for which they paid, in
the aggregate the sum of $30,500.
One planter in Wayne counly sold
his crop, grown on about forty
acres, for $1800, and several others
in this county realized for $50 per
acre. Aside form these sums real
ized, rice straw is selling at $8 per
ton, and reckoning two tons per
acre is a moderate estimate. The
average acre of rice planted should
realize $50 to 60."
