r The Origin of Royster Fertilizers;
Mr. Royster believed that success awaited the
Manufacturer of Fertilizers who would place quality
above other considerations. This was , Mr. Rqyster's
idea Twenty-seven years ago and this is his idea
to-day; the result has been that it requires Eight
Factories to supply the demand for Royster Fertilizers.

ago that a Farmer's Institute and also

in this city on Feb. 1st baa evoked
much interest. These institutes are a
great benefit to farmers and their wives

Rebecca Davis, a disreputable color
ed woman was given a hearing before

WEDNESDAY. N
There were but few boats in port yes
terday and consequently very few fish
and oysters were seen on the local mar
ket. There was only a few cases on the
docket in the police court yesterday af
ternoon and but a short while was con
sumed in the session.
One needs to travel a weary and long
journey to find another as good field for
sport as ean be found in the vicinity of
ew Bern. Hunters bring in every day,
all kinds of game, from the cottontail
rabbit to the fifteen pound turkey.
With wood at the preaenKigh price,
only those who are compelled to use it
for heating purposes realize bow ex
pensive cold weather is upon the wood
connumer. With a fairly large stove or
fire place it is literally burning money
to keep up the fire. ,
The basket party and voting contest
at the Bridgeton school houae on Friday
Blgh was quite a success. Thirty-two
dollar and ten cents was cleared. We
wish to thank all for help rendered,
but especially do we thank oar New
Bern friends. The cake went to Miss
Lena McGhin of New Bern.
A message from Stewart's sanatori
um yesterday afternoon In regard to
the condition of Mr. Zeb Williams, who

had his foot so badly crushed at the
Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company's
plant Monday afternoon that it was
found necessary to amputate it, stated
that he was resting well and unless
some unexpected complication sets in
he will be able to leave that institution
in a few days.
THURSDAY. -Freight
cars came in yesterday cov
ered with snow, showing that a heavy
fall had occurred at points north and
west, although only a small amount
fell here and that quickly melted.
Within a Tew days Mr. L. G. Daniels
will have a force of workmen engaged
in tearing down the building on South
Front street now occupied by him as
an office and a brick stable will be
erected in its stead.
Mr. John W. Koonce, a welt-known
citizen of Dover, died a few days ago
at Fort Barnwell, where he was work
ing, Mr. Koonce was an old Confeder
ate soldier and was about 66 years of
age. Kinston Free Press, lath.
It was rum ored on the streets yes
terday that an earthquake shock had
been felt in this city on 'the previous
night. There was no confirmation of
this rumor however, and it is supposed
that those who felt the "shock" were
mistaken.
As an aftermath of the action taken
against them a few days ago by the
police all of the near beer stands down
in the business part of the city have
been closed. The proprietors doubtless
thought that this would be the wisest
action to take.
There was no session of the police
court yesterday afternoon, there being
no caaea ready for trial. The weather
doubtless has much to do with the de
crease in the number of cases of dis
orderly conduct, the majority of the
habitual offenders not caring to get out
in the cold and commit any depredations.
Shortly after noon yesterday, a horse
driven by a colored drayman became
exhausted near the Norfolk-Southern
freight depot on South Front street
and fell to the pavement. Assistance
was secured and the unfortunate animal
was finally gotten on his feet. Drivers
should endeavor to treat their animals
with S little more consideration during
this cold weather,
A report of a daring robbery at one
of the small eountty postoffices near
Oriental, reached this city yesterday.
From what could be learned in regard
to the matter it seemt that Chaa. Bray,
white man who lived near that place,
broke into the office Monday night and
stole postage stamps amounting to
$10.00. Having no immediate use for
the stolen good he sold them to anoth
er man and boarding the train started
to New Bern with the proceeds of the
ante. While en route he evidedtly be
came frightened and jumping off made
tracks for the woods and has not since
been seen.
- The Milk In the Ceeoanut
Probably everybody - has wondered
at Uo what kind of stuff the "milk"
f the cocoanut Is. One Inducement
generally held out by the dealer to tbe
prospective purchaser la that the nuts
re "all milky.". Recent analyses, how
ever, have dissipated tbe delusion that
the fluid has anything In common with
real milk, .It contains only 4 per cent
of solids, consisting chiefly of sugars,
2.8 per cent, tbe balance being made
up of mineral matter and tartaric acid.
More than half of tbe engnr present is
KannHol, the sweet principle of man
na, which Is sometimes found also in
wine as a product of normal grape
sugar. " The, question has been dla
enssed ss to whether it would be prof
itable to-extract the cocoanut water
for tbe sake of Uf cane sugar, but as
thla amounta . to only one-tenth per
cent tbe process would not be com
mercially successful in spite of the
water being a waste product Even
If the water contulned 5 per cent of
sugar, as some specimens appear to
have shown, tbe recovery of this
amount would bex unprofitable. The
J ,Ve of the sugar cane yields nearly
: ' r"' f'nt of sugnr. Now ork

lie was a member of the Union club
when I joined It, nnd I have beard a
story that he became a member of
Crockford's, the famous gambling re

If they became candidates.

When tbe Hudson Bay Trading com
foy began its trading among the In
dians It was found that by selling the
Indiana liquor they could more easily
bo Induced to trade their peltries. The
first whisky or intoxicant of Inferior
quality was distilled lu England and
brought to America in large barrels,
but in transporting It overland It was
found more convenient to divide It into
mall kegs. The traders soon became
ware of tbe fact that by diluting the
whlaky with water more . furs, could
be obtained. This waa practiced for
some time, but the Indians learned
that good whisky poured on a fire
would cause It to flame up, whereat)
had tbe whlaky been diluted tbe fire
would be quenched. It was by this
simple experlmenthat the term "Ore
water" became a common word amoug
the Indians. A chief who had experi
enced the bafT effects of whisky among
his people said It waa moat certainly
distilled from the hearts of wildcats
and the tongues of women from tbe ef
fects It produced. Ked Man. - '
