, The Country Gentleman says
"Every fanner knows that the fund-
mental lhsracter of good soil is sand
clay and decayed vegetable matter or,
hutous. These important ootistitueuts
vary greatly in their proportions. I A
strong elay soil has 5 to 15 per cent ' of
sihcious sand. Clay loam has. 15 to 30
per cent of tine sand. A loamy soil has"
3U; to oU per cent of sand; a sandy
loam, 60 to 90 per cent, and a sandy
soil has no more than 10 per cent af
olcy, and often less, as it becomes more
' barren. A strong clay sou, by constant.
cropping, is robbed of its accumula
tions of vegetable matter and i soon bet
comes too compact for the ; roots lot
plant to penetrate freely. Its improve
ment is much quicker and more certain
than the other extremes of pand, but
the same process must be employed
Roots of plants, such as peas, clover
and the like, on penetrating a clay soil
open and loosen the stiff clay,j diffusing
themselves everywhere. They gradu
ally raise, by increasing the bulk Of
the surface soil. This upper soil
is thus converted into a mixture of day
and decayed roots, and is necessarily
more loose and friable than before. This
admixture of roots affects the chemical
composition as well as the physical con
dition of the soil. I he roots and stems
of plants and grasses contain much inor
ganic earthly and saline matter,
which is gathered from below, wherever
the roots penetrate, and is by them sent
upward to the surface. A ton of clover
nay I peas or pea bay about the samfj
contains aoout iou pounds oi mis mpr
aanio matter. Suppose the roots to con
tain as f much (and they doubtless con
tain more), it the product of both top
tad root equals four tons to the acre we
have 600 pounds of inorganio matter
added yearly to the soil, which, if pur
Chased in the open market, would
amount to $10 per acre. Much of this
is doubtless washed back again int the
earth, or eaten or oarried away by
stock, but the possibilities are very
promising to those who are endeavor
ing to improve heavy clay."

OQV. FAIRCHILDOI WISCONSIN ON A KINDLY
SB&AKP.
JL'harl8ton, S C, Sept. 14. Ex-
Gov. Lucius. Fairchild of Wisconsin,
commander-in-chief of Sie Grand Army
M the Republic, and Col. E. H. Gray
arrived here yesterday and spent today
examiniBg the e fleets of the earthquake
and consulting with the mayor and the
committee on relief. The object of
Gov. Fairohild's visit is to see
whether it is necessary to make an ap-
eal to the Grand Army of the Kepub
ic for assistance for Charleston. The
situation has been fully explained to
him.
He telegraphs an address to his com
rades of the Grand Army, that the sit
uation ia that there is a class of citizens
whose houses are more or lesB shattered
and who have no means wherewith to
repair them." This class and those who
being houseless have nevertheless
suffered loss of personal property re
quire aid from abroad. It will be to
them a continued calamity unless help
ia rendered. I feel confident that every
cpmrade is anxious to do what he can to
bring comfort and. happiness to this
stricken people. I therefore request de
partment commanders to call upon eaoh
p6t in their department to at once appoint
committee which shall collect such
sums as the comrades and their fellow-
citiies in cities, villages and on farms
may desire to contribute, to be sent to
W. A. (Jourtenay, mayor of Charles
ton."
The city oouncil of Charleston today
adopted, unanimously, a resolution
tendering their thanks to the entire
guff and employees of the News and
Courier for the energy and pluck dis
played by them in the continuous pub
lication of their paper during all the
excitement and confusion consequent
upon the recent earthquake.
SitMT ioek, Kept. 14 At a meeting
of the relief committee of the chamber
of commerce, held this afternoon, treas
urer Jno. Crosby Brown reported that
he had received subscriptions to date
amounting to 869,713, and he was au
thorized to send a further &20.000 to
the mayor of Charleston. Letters were
received from the vicinity of Charles-
ton.sskinff assistance, and thev were re-
i w X
ferred to the mayor of Charleston for
his consideration. Wm. E. Dodge,
chairman of the committee, stated that
he had received a letter from mayor
Courtenay, in which he said that cli
matic and sanitary reasons now com
pelled a return to such houses as were
h vbitable. They could live for a time
without plastering and other disoomforts
and the people were all cheerful
and more, calm, and he added that
the people of Charleston would hold as
beyond price, through all time, their
identification with the common Amer
ican citizenship which came to them in
their great trials, strong to help, strong
to lift up. Charleston would never for
get all that had been done for her. Dr.
Simonds, president of the First national
bank of Charleston, suggested that a
building association should be formed
to loan money at a low rate of interest
to the people of Charleston for rebuild
ing the city and the suggestion was re
ferred to the committee for considera
tion. At the meeting of the relief com
mittee today it was stated that it will
take at least $1,000,000 to put neces
sary repairs to houses of persons who
are utterly unable, unaided, to make
their houses safe and habitable. Forms
of application for assistance in rebuild
ing will be issued tomorrow and plans
completed likewise for giving limited
pecuniary relief to those in need of
clothing, bedding to., in consequence
of the earthquake.
Bricklayers are now paid $fa day,
and plasterers 84, which tends ' Heck
the rebuilding operations.
Wobfolk, Va., Sept. 14. An en
velope collection was made today for
the benefit of the Charleston earthquake
sufferers and $1,148.83 were realized.

A Notorious Mooosklner Killed.
Chicago, September 14. A special
to the Times from Nashville, Tenn.,
says: A notorious moonshiner named
Chenault was shot and instantly killed
at Etna Sunday morning. A party of
men employed at a furnace were hav
ing their Saturday night spree and sev
eral of them had gone to Chenault's
place and bought half gallon of liquor.
When this was disposed of they bought
another gallon and drank that. As thoy
did not return, Chenault came to the
cabin where they were and offered to
sell them more, which H. McKay, as
spokesman of the party, declined, assert
ing that the last lot was not as good
as the first and made them drunk.
Chenault, responding that the truth
was they were too poor to buy
any more, turned to leave, when
McKay drew a revolver and shot him
through the brain. He died without
a word. McKay fled to the woods and
has not been sten since. Both were
young men, neither over twenty-five.
1 he verdict ot tho ooroner s jury was
murder. Neither had any family.
Chenault was regarded as a leader in a
gang of moonshiners in that wild sec
tion. A Collision.
Bcftlo, N. Sept 14 Appccial
to . the Commercial Advertiser from
Silver Creek, sayf: A serious accident oc
curred this morning on the Nickel Plate
railroad, near this place. The west
bound express train ran into an excur
sion train from Erie. Twelve persons
are reported killed and fourteen
wounded.
The accident seems to have been
caused by a misunderstanding of tele
graphic orders. The collision was be
tween a Niagara Falls excursion train
on the Nickel Plate road from Erie and
a local freight train. It occurred in a
cut on a curve just east of Silver Creek,
N. Y. Both the engineer and fireman
saved themselves by jumping. The ex
cursion train consisted of one baggage
car, one smoker and - eleven coaches.
Only those persons in the smoker were
hu. t being completely telescoped by
the brggage car. Only a partial list of
those killed can be made at present.
Thirteen are dead. Two of the bodies
are unrecognized. AU of the killed and
injured are from Erie or places in its
vicinity in western Pennsylvania and
New York. Thirteen are injured,
nearly every one seriously.

Maine Election Retains.
AroosTA, Mi., Sept. 14. Official
election returns : are being received at
the State house, about one hundred
towns and cities having responded so
far. Chairman Manly says that Bod
well's majority over Edwards will
reach fully 14,000. The legislature
will be nearly as strongly repablican
as two years ago; ,
Portland. Me, Sept. 14 Returns
so far received show that the State
senate will be composed of twenty-six
republicans and five democrats. The last
senate was entirely republican. The
house of representatives of 1885 was
composed of 11 republicans, thirty
four democrats and two greenbaekers.
The republicans have gained twelve and
lost two, and four more are m doubt.
If the doubtful districts all elect demo
crats, the republicans will have gained
six over last year.
Another Re relation In Mexico.
8t. Lodis, Sept. 14 A Globe-Dem
ocrat's special from Laredo says that
prominent men of Mexican lineage in
that city, who have reliable means of
knowing, claim that a concentration of
revolutionary forces is now going on
throughout the border, and that prepa-
tions are actively being made for a dem
onstration which will shake the Mexi-
ioan government to its foundations. The
16th of September next, the anniversary
of Mexican independence, is'the day set
for a general move on the part of the
revolutionary force. Circulars and pro.
nunciamentoes have been scattered
throughout the border States which
tet forth the demand of the rev
olutionists. The war cry is the "Coif
stitution" and "Down with Diaa."
A Political Sensation.
Wilmington, Del., Sept. 14. An
Every Evening speoial from Dover re
ports that upon the assembling of the
Kent oountv convention today to nomi-
nate a legislative tieket a sensation was
caused by the production of a letter
from Congressman Lore withdrawing
from the Senatorial oontest. The dele
gates stand 34 for Gray to 26 for Lore.
This withdrawal removes the great bone
of contention which has divided Dela
ware democrats into two hostile oamps.
Another Bond Ca.
Washington. DC, Sept. 14th. It

per cent bonds will be issued in a few
days. The receipts nave oeen very.

OF A MURDERER.
OKI OF TBI STKANQX8T CIIAI'TIRB IN THK
HISTORY OF CKIMI.
St. Louis, Sept. 14. Arthur Arth-
buthnot, alias A. L. Pittman, alias
Chas. Walker, alias Parsons, recently
arrested at Covington, Tenn., has con
fessed to the sheriff of that oounty of
haying murdered the late mayor Bow
man, of East 1 1. Louis, the 20th day of
last November. The sheriff has sent a
confession to the East St. Louis r authori
ties and it is in substance: That while
walking in the outskirts of East St.
Louis, Arthbuthnot was approached by
the vice-president of one of the rail
roads terminating in East St. Louis, with
a proposition to put Bowman out of the
Way. The oner was accepted and
the price agreed to was $3,000.
Arthbuthnot says it was not his intention
to kill Bowman, but to kidnap him and
lock him up in a private asylum,
with which he had made arrangements,
and use him as means cf extorting
money from both Bowman and his own
employer. Ho employed two riew York
toughs to assist him. When they at
tempted to carry out their kidnapping
scheme, Bowman raised an outcry for
the police und he (Arbuthnol) shot him,
with the intention to disable him, and
was surprised to find he had killed
Bowman. He then escaped and was
paid the agreed price on the street a
short distance from wice Bow

'that he makes the confession voluntarily,
simply because of his guilty conscience.
He knows his employer's name, his

identify him if he should ever see him
again. He refuses to declare the vice
president's name, but promises to do
so when the proper time shall arrive.
lb Three Emperors Agree to Agree.
Lonpox, Sept. 14. A dispatch from
Vienha to the Times says that there are
rumors in diplomatic circles at the Aus
trian capital that the recent negotiations
between the three emperors resulted fav
orably.and that there are good prospects
for an agreement shortly between Kus-
6ia, Ueimany and Austria relative to
common action in Bulgaria. In regard
to the immediate future, the dispatch
says that the state of Russia has yielded
her plan of proceeding alone in Bul
garia and intends to treat the whole

Durham's Increasing Buelneea.
Durham Recorder.
The manufacture of tobacco being the
chief manufacturing interest of Durham,
we give below the sales of stampstfor the
first eight months in 1890 and the first
eight in 1886, which shows an increase
of $83,859 15 for stamps alone. This
gives a wonderful increase in business
during a remarkably dull year. It
shows another fact that Durham is not
on a standstill; that our manufacturers
are wide-awake and moving onward with
rapid strides. We contrast the sales for
eaoh month :

Fissures appear In Bald Mountain.
Asbeville Citizen.
We are informed that while "Old
Bald" behaved herself very nicely dur
in g the recent disturbance, since then
very large fissures have appeared in the
side opposite from those made by the
convulsions some years ago. If this
fissure performance continues, the Bald,
or the greater part thereof will cer
tainly fall, or sink in. That it is
hollow, or largely so, has been proven
by parties penetrating a long distance
into the mountain, aud never reaching
the end of the vcr-"n. We may look
out, some of these days, for a sudden,
if not very important change in the
typography of that immediate locality.
A collector ot curiosities visited a

cDowell Nominees and a Light-

Special Cor. ot the News and Observer.
Ashxvilli, Sept. 13
The McDowell democratic convention
held in Marion Saturday nominated the
following tioket: For the house, Peter
J.Sinclair; sheriff, J G. Neal; oler
B. B. Prio1; register, William McCurr
surveyor, J. a. iSurgin; coroner, J as.
II. Ilumphill. An excellent tioket is
this. Under its healthy dema-cratio in
fluences independentism will perish, and
radicalism languish unto death. I
Mr. Neal has for many years been
the acceptable, popular, efficient sheriff
of the oounty. Mr. Price is promoted
from the office of register of deeds,
which he has held for years past, winning
golden opinions from all. The head of the
ticket is an able and successful lawyer;
brother of the late Alexander Sinclair,
a distinguished Presbyterian divine,
formerly of Charlotte; and brother, top,
of the noted "Parson Sinclair," of Kobe
son county. He was lieutenant colonel of
the famous fifth North Carolina regi
ment, that, at Williamsburg, under the
dashing Duncan K. MoRae, won that
splendid'enoqmium from General Hajn-
cock:
Col. Sinclair participated in that heroic
charge, and wears today honorablo

RALKIGH IN TH1 KYKS OF A BALTIHOR1AN
W. M.P. in Baltimore Manufacture a' Record
The tide of progress which is sweep
ing along so persistently throughout the
length and breadth of the South has
caught in its current this ancient city,
the capital of the old North State. I
say ancient, because until comparatively
recently her people were governed! by
old fogy views tnd primitive ideas.
They were willing to let well enough
alone and take taings as they came.
Now, however, one sees all around that
aotivity aud energy among her oitizens,
and particularly among her business
men, which mark a new era and show a
waking np to the times and their re-
?uirements, which argues well for her
uture prosperity. A- jaunt around the
oity will discover to the objervant vis
itor pleasing evidences of a more than
gradual development of industries, and
he will soon be satisfied that a deter
mination exists in the minds of those
who have their city's welfare at heart to
make her a great manufacturing and in
dustrial center. Already one notes fac-
tories of various kinds employing large
I numbers of hands in their varied avoca-
tions. New ideas are being brought
out and new schemes devised, all look
ing to a building up of the city's! in
terests, and placing her where
she justly belongs, high up in the
scale of progressive activities and in
telligent development. Haleigh has a
population of 16,000 as shown by the
last census. Her business interests are
for the most part in the hands of ydnug
men, who are not swayed by overween
ing conservatism. They see that ae therf
oity grows in size, just so much greater
are her requirements and necessities,
and they seem to be doing all in their
power to foster new enterprises and give
an impetus to trade bv maxing their
city attractive and offering inducements
to immigration, not of skilled labor
only but of loose capital, which maj
be advantageously employed, not only
in the oity, but throughout the State

Col. John Niohols, of Raleigh,
haa
declared himself a candidate for
1:
on-
gress in this district. White men, oan
you vote for a man who while postmaster
of Raleigh turned out good, efficient
white men and put in their plaees negro
clerks; who put a negro over the white
mail carriers ? Does his action show
that ho is a true lover of the Anglo
Saxon race? No. Does it not show
that he prefers the colored raoe to ' that
of the' white ? Is he the man the true
white republicans of North Carolina
wish to eleot to Congress ? Have they
no respcot or love for the Anglo-Saxon
blood that courses through their
veins ? Will they eleot a man who
prefers an African to a white man?
Democrats, if you do net wish this self
appointed candidate to represent this
district in Congress go to work for that
peerless statesman, Maj. John W. Gra
ham, a man who will do his full duty,
but who. should he be put in a place,
will never elevate the colored man over
the white man. He will advocate suok
laws as will prove beneficial to the la
boring man, the professional man, the
merchant and all classes, but will never,
" opponent has done, turn out white
men "d give their good paying bosi-
tions to colored men. White men, rise
in your might and nut the seal of con
demnation upon any man who has been
guilty of suoh oonduot.
