Distribjtion of Soy or Soja Beans. The N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station at Raleigh, desiring to extend the cultivation of Soy Beans, proposes to distribute a quantity of seed to careful planters desiring to test their merits. The only condition is that each applicant send 10 cents in postage stamps to pay cost of transportation by mail. Enough seed will be sent to each applicant to plant I -10 acre. The first 100 applications wi!l be fil'ed in the order received. The Station regards this as a very valuable forage j hint. It isof upright growth 2 to 3 ft high and isalegumine capable of adding nitrogen from the air to the soil in which it grows. It is planted in hills or drills ? to 3 ft. apart according to richness of soil. and 15 to 21 inches apart in the row. It can be planted any time from March to July, either alone or in the corn row between the corn, and 2 to 4 beans a-o usually planted in ta?h bill. Soil suitabde to it and the general prepara tion is the same as for corn. When planted for corn both roj s can be ensilaged together, and the corn en silage will be much improved by the combination, or the plants when planted alone can be cut for forage before they get too woody. The seed are found in small pods and can be saved by cutting the whole plant when leaves and pods have turned a golden hue. They can easily be beaten out when dry. If cuttiug is delayed be yond this time the pods will open and eome will be lost on the ground. It will not pay to pick the beans, ft is also a good table bean, but requires a long time to cook. TheStatioL urges a careful trial of this crop. HER AFFECTIONS REPULSED. A Doctor Has a Lady Arrested for Falling in Lore With Him. Charleston, S. C. There is some thing of a sensation here caused by of a well known lady who is suspected to be insane. The arrest was caused at the instance of a young physician, who says she has annoyed him by unwel come attentions. The love-sick lady is supposed to be of unsound mind. She has a knack of falling in love with young men, who she annoys very much by sending them billets-doux, flowers and the like. She is subject to strange hallucinations and at times irrespon sible. She has been arrested several times before for annoying citizens, but the latest escapade is one of a rather startling character and brings her once more in contact with the police. Here of late. o the story goes, a young physician had been tormented by the lady, who professed to love the doctor and believed he intended to marry her. She sent him numerous tokens of her affection, but receiving no response, she became desperate nnd threatened his life. From professional experience he knew her to be insane and thought the best plan would be to have her arrested. He called on the chief of police, who promptly had her brought in and locked up. Later she was sent to the city hospital, where proceedings will be instituted to in quire into her sanity. Barkeepers StirreJ Up. Winston, N. C.

Cotton Ties Manufactjred by a Hew Mine. A Chattanooga (Tenn ) company haa just completed and had patented a continuous automatic roll train for converting steel-billets into rods and hoops, and it is claimed will revolu tionize that portion of the steel manu facturing business. The billet of steel, when once placed in the rolls, without being again han dled can be brought out in any dimen sion or shape wanted. It is claimed it will save fully $1.50 on every ton of steel handled. The patent roller was built by Stanley O. Haskins, a son of the patentee and builder erf the first continuous rolls ever made, and which are now used in nearly every large steel mill in the United States. A company has been formed in Chat tanooga to put the patent into imme diate use, and is now putting three of the rolls in place, aud will within the uext 30 days begin the manufacture of cotton ties on a large scale. With the new machine the billet of steel is put iuto the rolls, and when next seen is a cotton tie ready for bundling and ship ping. This machine will reduce the cost of manufacturing cotton ties bj about $2 per ton. The Chattanooga Industrial Co. is the name of the enterprise, and they will establish their cotton-tie mill, pro duction to commence within thirty days. Buildings have already been leased, and the machinery will include an automatic roll train for iron in vented by Mr. Haskins. Columbia's Big Duck Milt. The new cotton-mill plant at Colum bia, S. C, was formally dedicated on Ipril 25, when Hon. Arctas Bloo ' started the power in motion. Th vent caused a geat deal of interest, and was witnessed by hundreds o citizens of Columbia and neighboring cities and towns. The new mill is o' brick, 400x150 feet. Spur tracks leau up to the mill, and afford means o' ge tting products to the main lines o railroad. The mill will nianufactur cotton ducking of all grades. One of the novelties of the mill ft that the only motive power to be nse in the operation of the machinery w il be electricity, which will be generate! by the turbine wheels, which are to lit run by the power from the canal. Th power house for the present will hav two 1000-horse power e lectric genera torp, which will communicate the powc (o 15 dynamos distributed throughout the building. From each of thes dynamos in the building 15 shafts wil be run, and in that way it is said tha' (here will bo a very great saving in the amount of friction and f hafting. Thi is the first experiment of the kind npoi such a large scale, but theie is ever renson why the current should work to advantage. What little use has been made of it shows that there is no difli cnlty in commanding the power. Th three wires which transmit the powei from the power house to the mill an run underground and enclosed in tai cases. The mill will be ready to begin full operations about June 1. The full Board of Directors follows: Aretas Blood, D. R. Sortwell.E. S. Converse, G. S. Marsh, George Wallace, Stephen Green, John S. Jenkins, Charles K Oliver and Robert K. Waring. At present there are 18,000 spindUt in the mill, but the design of the plant calls for 30,000, the balance to be ad ded on. The bnilding, according to the or iginal design, was intended to be a hollow square. One side of the square, which is to be 3S0 feet long on each side and 104 feet deep, has been com pleted, together with 141 feet on th east side of the square; the north and west sides are yet to le erected. It is claimed that the directors of this mill, who were in Columbia on the day of opening.nre so much pleas ed with the prospect that they have in contemplation the possible ere ition of other mills.

Wher ever there is a bed of ore, or a stone qcarry, or deposits of coal, tramways are sure to be found. Manufactories have pprnnp up all over. No less than one hundred and sdxty- outton mills and one million spiudlesare in a steady whirl, and rive hundred and fifty mis cellaneous factories supplement the clatter and hum. Only until her State exhibit was sit up at New Orleans, ten years ago, and followed by fairs nt Atlanta, Boston. Chicago and elsewhere, did the Indttstiial world suspect that North Carolina was capable of anything but tar and iish. Progress has gone on so quietly and nnostentatiously since then that the whole country is amazed at the develop ment. So insidiously did the spirit of industry inveit the ideepy old tur pentine orchards and mountain rifts that the ancient community got awake and astir before its advanced neigh bors realized that theie was any ex citement afoot. And now, in the lat ter day, there is no place between the two oceans equal to the "Old North Carolina" for investment. Gould, Corbin and Vanderbiit found it out soon and have promptly led the van of an immigration from Northern and Western States which is growing apace. Hundreds of sma.'l capitalists and men of limited means are moving fron. the North and West to occupy wheie opportunities best offer, not only in the mountain and Piedmont regions, but along the neglected nnd sleepy seaboard. They are bringing in new industries anc revolutionizing old ones. Under a new system of agricul ture they haie lifted the farmers burden of debt by causing an acre of land to produce the amount of three. Three crops a year are now raised instead of one as hitherto, and the profit of each is enlarged. In the Newbern district alone the value of the trucking interests has reached three and three-quarter millious a year and is one-ninth of jhe total for the whole United States. Gold is being mined at a profit in thirty-one coun ties. Seven-eights of all the mica used in the United States are claimed to be produced within its limits. Its fisheries lead all others. Its whale fisheries engage the labors of a dozen vessels from New Bedford nnd F.vo vincetown during the summer. Its oysters receive the attention of tight packing establishments. Its IuiuIht output is one hundred millions of feet per annum. It has more popular seaside and mountain resorts than any other individual State, and a greater variety of gems and precious stones. Topographically North Carolina is like Old Mexico, with its three grand climatic divisions, only that the peaks of the mountain region are rounded and not so high by hair, tho loftiest being less than 7,000 feet. And wo find in both countries the same com prehensive plant life and exuberant flora, botanists aver that there are 1,900 species of flowering plants alone in North Carolina, and of course the 6oils are various and capable of in definite production in any direction that hotticultuiists may elect. The !at seaboard region, which tallies with the terra caliente of Mexico, excepting in fervor A midsummer heats, is the chosen p. round for the fruit grower and truc k raiser, and it :s ehoitly to become the teat of extensive dairy and cattle interests. Experiments already made at Newbern, Elizabeth City aud other points prove what the botanists have all along declared that pasture nnd meadow grasses grow as luxuriantly as other plant growths, and that all that farmers need to make their ow n good beef, hay, cheese, but ter nnd milk is to adopt those courses which common practice elsewhere de clares are proper and right. Experi ments in hay culture and beef and milk production nre already well ad vanced, and the State agricultural ex periment farm has listed twenty-sir. kinds of grass nnd clover, which it advises to use for hay or pasturage. The upshot of all this is to demon strate what the seaboard is capable of, what the requirements are and where the gates of special opportunity are wiliest ajar. Cultivated lands with improvements and buildings can be bonirht anywhere along the line of the Norfolk and Southern Railroad, which traverses the eleven tide water conn ties, at $15 to $25 an acre. Lalajr is cheap at 05 cents per day, or $8 to 812 per month, and rations and is tractable and efficient if well trained and handled and promptly paid. There are plenty of churches and schools and no beggars, tramps or tough" Farm schools for whites and blacks, if stabli'hed in available db.ti ids, would disseminate much needed in format ion in respect to many lines of industry which have lren neglected to over looked since the war. Vine culture would prove a most profitable lnoiness if conducted on intelligent methods. Ferried Jeff Davis Across the Yadkin. Concord. N. C, Standard.
