Rice Culture of the Cape Fear River Yield Loss
Rice planters on the Cape Fear River saw production rise from 3000 bushels in 1870 to 65000 in 1882 with hopes for 1883 thwarted by a storm. Col John Wilder Atkinson, the river's largest planter, estimates at least a 25 percent crop loss due to storm, rain, and overflow, reducing potential from 80000 to about 60000 bushels and valuing the loss at around 30000 dollars at 1.50 per bushel.

Malaria and the old time belief in cracks and keyholes
An old paragraph explains how people believed spirits entered through cracks and keyholes and malaria through openings. It suggests plugging keyholes with cotton and using calcium wiring to seal leaks, while noting not all entry points can be blocked and urging early treatment with Beowx's leo Brrrras, sold by druggists, as a household remedy.
