Ibvii during the session of tbe ltipt'mt State Convention to be held at Oxford on Nov. 5th. It will bo sen' post paid to subscribers for 25cU. A distinguished Hiptist divine will super intend the editorial department, and the .... .. . . proceeding, of the convention will be roported each day. TiiK Kliiabclh City FJcon says : Gen. M. W. Ransom was at Jackson court lust wetk. He is iu fine health and spirits. lie says he can't tell about the results of Ohio vt New York. They are both doubtful Rnd hive no special bear ing nn tbe 1880 elections. He says of one thing, however, he is sure, viz: That we will be sure to elect the Presi dent next year, und that whila a little caution may bo necessary in our state rank, it is equally as sure that we will carry the State by a lare irnij iritv neil year, lie thinks Tildeu's chances good, and would not hesitate to support him. imm.uk t:si. Many people who call themselves polite, and are considered so by their friends would not be found so if they were subjected to the test : True kind ness of heart and generosity of leeling. True po'itenen does not consist in mere bowing abd scraping, but in desire to make others feel pleasantly. While it cin bu shown and exercisod ia a thousand different nays, and on all gecasioos and is as often neglected, we desire to call attention to only one way iu which people could exercise true politeness, v;z : in answering any re mark, note or letter nddiersed to them. Many observations ire made to people which require no explicit answer, but something ought to bo said or done to how that tbe observation is heard. E'su how is tbe peism speaking to know that be has been understood. Another thing people forget is, that every letter or note addressed to them should be answered. It need not be a favorable answer, but there should be an ai swer of some kind couched in gentle lan guage. How olen do people neglect to write letters because they know they will oever ascertain whether or nut the communication has been received; and how often have letteis of importance bean written and received and oo ac knowledgement made of receipt. It is true that pcop'o writing on their own busi ness sbuuld enclose stamp for answer, but even if this is not done, answer should be made. The recipient of a letter may not consider it of any im portance whatever, and yet it may be of great moment to the writer. A prompt answer to all communications would sue much troublo e'.d annoyance to others and truly polite peopla will not fail to do so, unless tbey aro very for getful, aud we doubt if that is st'diueu excuse. As important as this matter is, e know of very few who make it a rule to return prompt answers to all correspon dence, but those few can say that they have been more than repaid by llio ob servance of this rule, not only by the pleasant kuowledge of duty performed, but often by a substantial profit fiuao cully. THE I'll It. The fair is uow only a few days o(T, and the prospects are more favorable than even we anticipated. We have liougbt and said all along that the fair would be successful, and we were sincere, but now wa can state positively that its success is a foregone conclu sion. All the departments will be full and there wiii be many attractions of every kind. All tastes can be suited and pleated from the most i efia id to the most un cultivated. A lgrgi rcptesen'itioo of the military of the S ate and Virginia will be present, and the nuintier of beautiful ladies will bo us Iur-,0 and larger than eer before. The premium list is larre all paid by the Society, no special piciniums being offoreJ by other parties if wo ex cept some u'lven by M-. James Nor wood, who has slways taken a great in-t-rest in ihe success of tbe Siciety Tnere aro no doaali.Mis, but nothing has been omitted. Not the least attractive feature of the fair are the bops which will be given every night at tho hotel where tbe you ger of the visitors al ways enj iy themsrl-es. The Society ulm, will bold each night a meeting to discuss tho business or the Assumption, and to listen to good ad dresses from well kmwn gentlemen Concerning tbe various branches of Ag liculturt. This is truly a home enterprise, and should be wll patronised and supported by oil who drsirc to f.te nur section built up and on the road to prosperity. As we lime suid before the Society has done much good for all classes of our people, and under its present ex ' llont management will do much more, a nd it is also a nucleus for great assist ance to our people in mure ways than one. Let every one lend a helping hand and make our fairs second to none. FEKTIM.CK, TAX M) AGRI 4 111 I KK OKIMKT IIKN I'. The discussion os to, who pays the fertilizer tax and as to how much bene fit the S ale receives from the Agricul tural department, is the only thing, thin ut present causes a ripple in newspaper circles Some of th ise, who aduncate the repeal of the tux, contend that it dimes nut of the pockets nf the farmers. The compare it to a lurid' on forei-Mi I poods. Suppoi.e savs one, that a vara jjf rerlaill,c,,)lh ' , be ra;l(JeI ,n i the United Scutes for loss th.in two dol ing ; but it can bo imported lor one uonar, ii no amy n.is 10 oe paiu. Ao our (loverumeot to encourage home en terprise places a duly of one dollar on said cloth. Consequently the laboring man, who makes a dollar a day, has to give two days work for the cloth, which , ,i ! r . j . . I. .1 . . . . without tbe tariff, be could obtaiu by the work of one day. It is true, that Invevcr roach a tax tends to raise the pi ice of an article, by so much are the consumers of that ar ticle injured. A id it is eq ially true, that if i lie tax has a tendency to de crease the price, in propoitio.i to t'nit dicieas me thu consiMieis benefitted. Tout is always supposing that the intrin sic value of the nrii'.lo is the same in both instanci. J hat tho tax has de creased tho price of fertilizers ulready mil that, l! it were higher, it would de crease tho price still more is sucepli ble ol prool. I Ins usseilion sounds as if it was opposing all die roles of Poli tic tl Hjoiioiiiv ; but it is not. 'ome of my tieigh'iurs are disp ised to judge and speak harshly ol those, who advocate Ihe repeal of the tax and the consequei t destruction ol the Agricultural Depart ment. Some of them really believe that the newspaper advocates of this measure are bribed by those Fertilizer Companies, which, as their goods could not stand the test of analysi", have been driven out of tbe State. Were it not known, that the ablest repealers were honorable men, the fact, that compauies, which have to resort to sand, sodi and lime ia making their manures, are too poor to bribe any b dy, should convin them of their mistake. It is touch mure probable that at the next session of the Legislature an ef fort will be made to double or possibly quaurupia trie tux and the unseen mov ers in this effort will be several of these Companies whose sales aie Ion o4 in the State. Every tax upon this commoditv has a tendency towaids monopoly. The present tax reJu::cd tho number of fer tilixers sold in this State from 108 to 12 A $1001) lux woul I probablv bring the 42 to 1.') or 20 0e of $2000 would probably bring the number to five or six. With the prese it prices and prod s, n wide fie'd. or a nurower o .e in which it has little or no opposition, is the only thing that a Feitilzer Company needs to become wealthy iu a few yeurs. The Analytical liureau affects ouly fiandu lenl tompanies. )at there were many good Companies whose sale?, individ ual v were small, but which in the ag gregate were very large that have been driven away. Tue tax is felt in inverse ratio to the nu.iiber of tons sold. Weak concerns, the prime cost of whose goods would bo double that of wealthier Com panies, while selling ia tbe State fifty aud one bundled tons would pay $10 a id $5. respectively. A id those whose sales were one thousand and teu tliout aud tons would ouly pay fi ty cenls aud five ceuts per ton respectively and would in addi ion step in the places of those driren out. A nni' nia, Piiosphoric Acid and Potash are the valuuule Constituents ol every brand of superp'u isp ialc. The first i amed cither us silpluteof Au di m a or as fouu 1 in Peruvian U lau s sold in Kaltimore at (Yon 15 to 2o cents per pound. Tlx suhoric Acid ut from to 12J cents ond Potash at from 4), to 1) cenls. If of the above ingredients only the highest priced are oed a too of fertilizer, which before the tat would sell for $1."). and at preseut will sell for $10, would cost the Company abou'$35. Hut the highest priced are never used, aud there is no reason why they should be, for as iu other things the most costly are not always those of greatest intrinsic value. Consequently the real commer. cial value nf the average superphosphate is cn'y about (30. per ton or less. A wealthy mid etierprising company w ii Import sulphur an I mal e lis si.lphuii acid for less than uie-1 a'f its markei (reft. ly gelling out llio S. C. l'lios pliute lock themselves, grinding it and ai.pl) ing tin ir a :id. it will cost I he in $10 instead ol $J0. per ton. It will import its Polish from tiermvny in the form of Kaiiiit and valuable nitrogenous matter iu the shape of fish nfl'il.&scan be had aim ist for ttie trouble of collecting. So it is seen, tint a i aniclo which really costs in money $1 j per ton is sold ut $1) and $ lo. A net profit, per ton of $2.'). or $:(. and should ten thousa' d tons be sol I th.ire w .ilj ha a profit tf two huudrtd and fit ty or three hundred thousand dollar. Toink for a moment, nhut a Guano Company with a capital of ooe million could alT ird to give an nually for a monopoly in the one S:ato f North Carolina. While maintaining the quality of its manures could it not alfoid to greatly reduce their prico and pay enough to run the entire S ate govern ment? Or if monopolies were allowable woull it not pay the 8. ate to grant one to a company which would furnish a good articlo at $23 per ton? Without doubt it would pay the Company hand somely. The Farmer and Mechanic of Raleigh oue of the best pnpers of its class in the State aud certainty the must cnleitaiu- ing, sometimes in this discussion allows its zeal to get the betier of its judge ment. A short lime since it said "Tbe Pepartment of Agriculiure is a costly institution and unless it can he demon strated to return at least the prime cost say $22000. a year, it should be abol ished." If it has been shown above, that the Fertilizer Companies can afford to pay the tax or even a higher one, sustain the grade of their goods and re duce their prices the Departmeut does not cost us one cent. Dot suppose it did. There are many things the value of which can not easily be estimated in dollars a woman's virtue a man's hon es;. A.c. The amount of education ob tained from thu various schools and colleges iu the State is supp sed to be very valuable, still it would be rather hard to prico it. Tho schools stand in the same relation to tho youth's and maidons that the Agricultural Depart ment and the Agricultural papers do to the farmers. Yet who will say that be cause it can not he demonstrated that they yearly return their prime cost in dollars, they should all be abolished. Again the same paper as a sort of com promise proposes to abolish certain branches of tbe Department, by which s me of the mooey arising from the tax will be saved aud proposes to expend it in Public schools. Now as a rule the men, who buy guano do not live either in towns or villages and it is a well koowo fact that the cross-roads public schools are not worih a cent except for veiy small children. If with the present t'x more money is raised, than is needi.l for the purpose for which it was raised, whv not reduce it? For if tho fanneis really do pay it, they do not feel called upon lo educate the children of mer chants, lawyers and mechanics. Thai a certain amount oi biltenicss would be aroused by the coi troversy was to be eipec'.ej. IS.it there is a feeling begin ing to show i self, which should be kept out of siht. It is that, which causes men to hale and defame those, whom they lancy more prosperous than them selves, which rnuk'M the man who walks dislike the one who rides, and which since tbe French llevoliuiou hts been koowu as sans-juluttism. Fakmku Referring again to the Politico-Economical side of the question. The prop osition, that all things being equal, free trade in an article inures to the benefit of the consumers of that article, is axiomatic. 1J it when a number of wealthy corporations combine and sav ''that for a ton of our stuff, containing 15 per cent, of water 8 per cent, of Phosphoric acid 7 per cent, of sand 4 per cent, of Nitrogen and oue per cent, of Potash, we will charge f!5. and what it costs us concerns us only." Then all things are not equal. Even then competition would bavo a tenden cy slowly to bring down the price, but tarmcrs can not aflord to wait years and years for a result, which can bo V tniued by legislation iu a much shorter time.
