THE
MANY FIBKE-PRODUOING
PLANTS.
In Washington there is a Fibre Bu
reau. It is interesting to know what
are thought to be the fibre plants ofthe
future. The raw materials used in the
United States amount to $50,000,000
annually. It is believed by experts
that half of this sum can be retained at
home by developing the cultivation of
fribrous plants. The Bureau hopes that
the pine apple can be so developed as
a fibre producer as to qlake its cultiva
tioa especially productive. In India
this product is used for its' fibre as well
as for its fruit. ; The leaves make a
fine, gassamer fibre. In Florida they
are thrown awav. The rope made of
them is marvellously strong. An inch
rope stood a strain of 5,700 pounds
'before breaking.
The sisal plant i alsojspoken of as im
portant In Florida it is now cnlti
vated. Of this fibre each year 15,000,-
000 worth are imported. The Bureau
thinks all this can be produced in' this
country, and of better quality than that
from Yucatan. A description of it in a
Boston paper says of it:
"The sisal grows readily in the poor
est and rockiest soil, which cannot be
farmed profitably for anything else.
Apart from its commercial value it is
one of the most interesting plants in
the world. It is a brush of huge green
bayonet-shaped leaves. When about
six years old it sends up from its mid
dle with great rapidity a stalk or mast
twenty-five feet high and three inches
in diameter. From the pper half of
this stalk small branches grow out,
each branch bearing tulip-shaped blos
soms." Ramie is another most valuable fibre
making plant. This plant will be widely
grown in our country. A machine to
separate the fibre cheaply and thor
oughly is said to be needed. It'is worth
here 8 J cents' a pound. A Japanese
with hand makes two pounds a day.
It is cultivated in the Eist Indies and
in China. A description says that the
"fibre is in the bark of the stalk, which
has a pithy centre. It is very beauti
ful, light, stroag a3 silt, and will not
mildew. From it all sorts of exquisite
fabrics are made, counterfeiting silk
and the finest linen, as well as laces for
curtains, muslin dress goods, plushes
and handsome and serviceable carpets.
It has been suggested as a future ma-
SSliaWfir-jacht sails, on account of its
lightness and strength. Ramie thrives
in the Gulf States and California. One
acre of it a year old will produce 27,000
pounds of stripped stalks ready for ma
chine." '
Flax can yet be produced with profit.
It was once grown all over the South,
and every, country home had its loom.
There are 1,000,000 acres cultivated in
flax for the seed only. The failure to
produce flix fibre now is strange. It is
as old as history almost. The Boston
paper gives this information concern
ing it :
"As far back as the Stone Age the
inhabitants of Switzerland and Lom
bardy, living in huts and feeding on
roots and acorns, were familiar in a
crude way with this industry. His
toric memoirs prove that the ancient
Hindoos and Egyptians produced flax,
the former for its seed, the latter, about
5,000 years ago, for its thread. The
old Egyptian linen was very fine and
beautiful. The use of fibres by Ameri
can aborigines goes so far back into the
past there are no records to show when
their employment began. Among the
Aztecs fibres from palm leaves and
various species of agaves were woven
into clothes, cords, ropes and mats in
prehistoric times."
There are other fibres known that
possess certain value. What are known
as "hakok," vegetable hair," "evir,"
"killool," palm fibre "ixtile" and
banana hemp are all'of various impor
tance and excellence. The time is not
distant when many of these fibres will
be cultivated ia our country and made
profitable. If variety ia the spice of
life, as a familiar adage runs, so diversi
fying is the spice of product, and gives
assurance to success.
HOME-t'OLKS.
Two letters contain a few words' each
that encourage us. A very gifted man
of letters living in another State writes
"of your excellent paper," referring to
the Messenger. The other, a lawyer
and statesman, says incidentally: "I
have read the Messenger with greater
pleasure this year than ever."
The Fayetteville Observer copied a
few words from the Messenger relative
to North Carolina's appreciation of its
paper and adds: '
"Aa soon as a North Carolinian wins
renown beyond her borders and vet has
the patriotism to preserve his citizen
ship within them, detractors, usually
workmg m the dark, busy themselves
with pulling him dosvn. That ig a
singular thing to be true of &uch a
brave and noble people as ours,and the
only explanation lies in the general in
nocence of the population which is
slow to suspect a back-biter."
North Carolina has given to the
States ajong roll of distinguished men,
some very famous. But it has no monu
ment and no painting of any great man
that was born within her borders, that
was reared either by the free-will offer
ing of the people or by legislative enact
ment Go to Virginia's-capital and

man. CUBAN PATRIOTS. .
' The news from Cuba is not all one
way. Every few days the Spanish
reports are sent out telling of more de
feats for the the "rebels" &nd the way
the Spanish cause advances. There is
no little of deception in thisr Some
new facts have come as to the great
battle for freedom in Cuba that began
24th February,. 1895. It began in New
York, the plans for the struggle being
first laid there, and the first sinews. of
war were furnished by patriots in that
great city. The progress of the war
has shown that the Spaniards are no
match for the Cubans, and that their
troops fall an easy prey to tropical
weather and the fearful machete, which
is so formidable a weapon in the hands
of the blacks. The Weyler trocha has
been pierced again, and again. The
Botcher bragged high upon his con
struction, and hoped to keep the inso
lent foe out, but in yam.. Recent ac
counts say:
"The new trocha in Pinar del Rio is
described as being the counterpart of
the old trocha in Central. Cuba. It is a
line of fortifications extending across
the western portion of the island. The
forts, so-called, are mere wooden stock
ades, situated about 500 yards from
each other. ' It has been claimed by the
Spaniards that Macao's army cannot
cross the new trocha. Despite all the
statements to the contrary, the rebels
cross the trocha whenever they please
by attracting the attention of the
troops at one place, while at another
point others dash across and are out of
sight ere vthe small detachments can
overcome their surprise. This Maceo
nas aone repeatedly."
All true Americans must hope for
and wish for the final, complete success
of the patriots. The delay of the Pres
ident is most remarkable.
ANOTHER VIEW.
Some x)f the single gold standard
leaders, in the North are shaping
schemes to seize the Chicago Conven
tion. - A New York special to the
Atlanta Constitution says the New
York papers make public the plan of
plotters. It seems to be as we gather
it, to exclude certain silver delegations
from the Convention, on the ground
that they had made threats to bolt if
gold only was the platform achieve
ment with gold standard candidates. A
high official in the Administration is
quoted by the New York World's Wash
ington correspondent, as saying, that
the gold men had determined upon
"first killing the free silver heresy and
then undertake the organization of the
Democratic party afterwards." This is
absurd. If the minority cannot rule
then they will "kill the free silver
heresy." How? Their papers say by
setting up a convention of their own.
The first threats ever; heard came from
gold politicians and newspapers. An
attempt to rule out silver State delega
tions will simply rive the party and
cause two conventions and two plat
forms and two sets of candidates. . So
the prospect of harmonious action at
Chicago "grows small by degrees and
beautifully less." A gentleman who
travels all the time over North Caro
lina was-Trf the opinion a few months
ago that gold would win. He says now
that the people mean to have silver and
will never stop" the fight until-they
get it .
EUROPE'S INDEBTEDNESS.
The New York Sun gives some in
structive figures it takes from a French
economic journal. The debts of. twentv-
one European Powers aggregate $24,-
393,200,000. That is eight times more
than the debt of the United States was
in 1865, at the close of the great war.
It is some fifteen times' greater than the
indemnity paid Germany by France at
tne close of its most disastrous war.
The increase in ten years of EnroDe's
indebtedness is $2,101,200,000, or more
than two-thirds of the war debt of our
country in 1865. Russia leads in the
increase, being nearly half. Germany
is next and close to Russia. The in.
debtedness of the six greatest Powers
in 1895 was in French money as fol
lows :
France, 26,799,000,000 francs, or 698
per inhabitant. ,
England, 16,424,000,000 francs, or
419 per inhabitant
Russia,, 15,767,000,000 francs, or 161
per inhabitant
Germany, 15,252,000,000 francs, or
296 per inhabitant
Austria - Hungary, 14,021,0.00,000
francs, or 338 per inhabitant
Italy, 12,941,000,000 francs, or 418
per inhabitant. -

The great annual exodus from the

rich people now that they do not know
