INTENSIVE FARMING.
Intensive farming is comparatively
a new thing in this country, and is
. as yet but little practiced, so little
that not one farmer in a thousand
follows it, the other nine hundred
and ninety-nine depending for good
crops on a free use of fertilizers and
on favoring seasons. But intensive
farming is not a new thing in all
countries for in some it is so old as
to be venerable with years, and in
others it has been pursued for many
-years. "Wherever it is pursued it
was adopted as a matter of necessity,
. just as it will be in this country in
time, when the population becomes
dense and land correspondingly val
uable. t This system is perhaps more uni
versally -followed in China and
Japan than in any other countries
in the world, for there it became a
matter ofabsolute necessity to feed
r-r the immense populations and even
with that the masses of the people
- ' are but poorly fed, if we compare
their living with that of the Ameri
can people as a mass. .In those
countries there is not only what we
foll a "rotation" of crops, but a
continuous succession of crops, the
harvested crop being immediately
followed with some other crop
adapted to the season. When one
vegetable is taken from the soil the
seed of another goes in its place, so
there is continuous growth and pro-
duction, a forced growth and pro
duction, too, for the lands where
practicable are gorged, if we may so
express it, with fertilizers, otherwise
they could not stand the continuous
strain upon them. In this way some
r cultivated areas in those countries
yield an almost incredible quantity
. ' of produce. For this purpose every
thing, no matter how offensive it
may te, which has in it manurial
properties, is garnered, and that's
why in China the sensitive nostrils
of the stranger are so often offended
- with rank odors when passing
through the towns or through the
country.
No European country carries the
thrift of husbandry so far, but some
of them, such as Germany, Holland
and France, for instance, haye made
notable progress in intensive farm
ing, with a very large increase in the
productive capacity of the soil. Con
sul General Mason has written an
interesting paper on intensive farm-
- ing in Germany, giving some of the
anticipated and unanticipated results
on the food supplies, thfe following
extract from which we find in the
Atlanta Constitution:
"At the recent centennial anniver
sary of the Aericultural Hisrh school.
of Berlin, Professor Max Delbruck
stated in a formal address that during
the past hundred years' the agricul
tural products of the present territory
ji uormanj una nearly, quadrupled.
Scientific culture and fertilizing, skill
ful drainage and rotation of crora.
improvement of seed and freedom
from the destruction and waste of
local wars have operated so favorably
that the increased production Der ftor
during even the past ten years has
been 19 per cent, for rye, 10 per cent,
for wheat, 3 per cent for barley and
25 per cent, for potatoes. How much
higher the productiveness of (Wmn
soil can be pushed by such extensive
methods as are within the reach of the
average farmer, which will not raise
the cost of his crop beyond all reason.
able relation to both its value in th
world's market and to the ability of
the German people to buy it for food,
is the vital out unknown element in
the calculation.
"But, while good husbandry has
done much and may yet do more to
increase the products of German agri
culture, there has been, as Professor
Delbruck sorrowfully admits, a vast
and increasing diversion of these pro
. ducts to other than life-sustaining pur
poses in the form of food. Nearly the
' whole of the barley crop is malted and
used for the manfacture of beer, pota
toes and maize in vast quantities are
devoted to the production, of alcohol,
. and the best lands of Germany are now
devoted to the culture of beet . sugar,
the greaterportion of which is export
ed. It is4rue that the rough refuse of
the breweries, the distilleries and su
gar niills can be utilized to some ex
tent as food for animals, but there is
no disputing the fact that these three
forms of manufacture neutralize to an
important degree the food producing
power of German agriculture.
."And so, notwithstanding all im
provements in farming processes, not
withstanding duties and all other ob
stacles thrown in the way of food im
ports by agrarian influence, Germany
imported during the past year 1,370,
850 metric tons of wheat, 561,251 tons
of rye, 250,157 tons of oats, 26,216 tons
of buckwheat, 23,787 tons of beans,
58,872 tons of peas, 1,104,349 tons of
barley. 1,626,595 tons of maize, 214,139
tons of potatoes, 143,730 tons of fresh
fruits, 11,761 tons of butter, 47,961
tons of pork meats, 21,752 tons of beef
and veal, besides fish, dried fruits and
other luxuries in large quantities."
While the population of Germany
has nearly trebled the productive
ness of the soil has increased four
fold, and the question with Ger
many is, in view ot the probable
steady increase in population, if the
relative increase in the productive
ness of the soil can be ke;;t up. The'
mtiu UDject in encouraging inten
sive farming is to produce a suffi
ciency of food supplies at such a
price as the average people who are
dependent upon their daily earnings
can afford to pay for, and at the
same time give the producer of the
food stuffs reasonable compensation
for his industry and Jabor. This
the increased production would have
done for Germany if there had not
been an unexpecteddemand for a
considerable portion of the products
grown, in consequence of which
that country notwithstanding the
good andthorough cultivation of
the landis still a large importer of
food Stuff, while before the inten
sive system was adopted' it raised
all of its food supplies and had an
abundance. But it could not do it
now without intensive farming, and
would be still less able to do it ten,
twenty, fifty or a hundred years
hence.
The diversion of much of the
food supplies given to other pur
poses, will reduce to that extent
the available supplies of food, which
will be the case not only in Germany
but in other European countries
whose populations will continue to
increase, so that they will bo com
pelled to look to this hemisphere to
supply the shortage, as it is doing
now on a less extended scale " This
means that to this country they will
ook, as they do now, for the larger
part of their supplies.
In view of this fact, and of the in
creasing demand for home consump
tion resulting from the natural in
crease of population supplemented
by a large annual increase by immi
gration, there is no room for doubt
that in the near future there will be
a large demand for food supplies
which will tax the "productive capa
city of the soil no matter how fertile
it may naturally be, and therefore it
will be the part of wisdom to encour
age the intensive system of farming
and make it as general as possible.
A TBIUMFHAL BEGINNING.
Last Monday the campaign for
White Supremacy in this State was
formally opened at Burlington, Ala
mance - county, historic ground,
where the 'Regulators more than a
century and "a quarter ago "regulated
hings and struck to , right wrongs.
It was a triumphal beginning, a hap
py augury of a triumphal ending of
this grand battle for white supre
macy and the rescue of the State
forever from the possibility of ne
gro domination direct or indirect.
Nearly all the nominees for State
offifes, from Governor down, were
there and were enthusiastically wel
comed by thousands of earnest, pa
triotic white men and womien,
dwellers in the towns and on the
farms, all animated by the same
high purpose and inspired by the
same cherished hope and filled with
the same stern resolve that North
Carolina shall and must be govern
ed by her own white sons.
Speeches were made by Charles B.
Aycock, candidate for Governor,
and by other genelemen on the
ticket with him, which met with a,
hearty response by the large as
semblage of people, showing that
even thus early in the campaign they
are alive to the importance of the
great issue on which the battle will
be fought.
It is the intention to continue
this triumphal tour throughout the
State, visiting all such points as
practicable. From Burlington the
candidates went in a body to Win
ston, continuing on to towns in the
Western part of the State, after
which other sections will be visited.
Cumberland and adjoining coun
ties will give them a royal welcome
on the 30th inst., and on the 2nd of
May they will be with us in this city
when the stalwart Democracy of this
section and the white men who are
in accord with us in this battle for
white supremacy must give them a
royal welcome, too. And we will.

ANTI-IMF J RIALISM WI1H A
STRING TO IT.
Senator Hoar is an anti-imperialist.
He is opposed to the McKin
ley policy of forcible expansion, and
opposed to the un-American doc
trine of taking in and? ruling any
Other people without their consent,
a doctrine to which his party, is now
fully committed. But while he is
all that, he is a. Republican first, and
subordinates all this to the success
and continuance in power of the Re
publican party. -
In the conclusion of his anti-imperialistic
speech in the Senate
Tuesday he reiterated with emphasis
all he had previously said in opposi
tion to " imperialism, and laid
down the platform on which his
party should stand in its treatment of
the expansion question, a platform
which is substantially in accord with
the Democratic position a platform
which he knows hisxparty will not
adopt because.it is - irrevocably com
mitted to thejolicy oi powaer ana
shot and brnie force, but yet he de
clares that he looks to the Republi
can party to right the wrong he
decries and establish in the Philip
pines the liberty and independence
which his party is fighting to de
stroy. As bad as all this, the oily-
tongued,' protesting Senator says
he will continue to uphold the Re
publican party and will vote for
McKinley, who is responsible for
most of the flagrant acts that
he denounces, in preference to
Bryan, or probably any other man
who might be nominated by the
Democratic convention, all of which
means that this snivelling old man
who paints in such lurid phrase the
enormities perpetrated against a
people struggling for freedom, and
warns his party of the inevitable
doom that awaits it if it persists in
these enormities, is a Republican
first and a patriot and an anti-imperialist
afterwards.
Senator Hoar and his voluble
mouth have as little influence in
shaping the expansion policy of his
party" as the bullets fired by British
soldiers in South Africa have on the
boulders they hit and are flattened
against. In his theory - the old
gentleman is all right, in the line of
action he proposes to follow he is
all wrong.

First Meeting of the New Board ;
of Managers for the Fis
cal Year.
MR. WORTH'S RESIGNATION.
Declines to Serve as President of the
. Organization Important Ruling 'as
- to Spirits of Turpentine. in Oil
Barrels Other Matters.
There was a meeting yesterday af
ternoon of the Board of Managers of
the Produce Exchange, but very little
business of public interest was trans
acted. It was the first meeting of the
new fiscal year, and therefore the regu
lar time for the appointment of com
mittees and for the election of a secre
tary, but it was thought best to post
pone these matters until a subsequent
meeting, and tho "board adjourned,
subiect to call of the chairman.
It is understood that Mr. C. W.
Worth, the newly elected president of
the Exchange, has declined to serve
in that capacity on account of a press
of other business engagements, and it
is expected that at the next meeting
another president will be elected.
Col. Walker Taylor presided at the
meeting yesterday afternoon and .be
sidesthe transaction of a number of
routine matters, Mr. D. McEachern
was elected to a position on the Board
of Managers in place of Mr. John E.
Crow, who declined to serve.
A communication from a number
of leading naval stores men in the'eity
was presented in which they asked for
an abolition of the rule made by the
Exchange by which sellers of spirits
of turpentine in oil barrels are re
quired to submit to a deduction of
twenty-five cents per cask; It was
ordered that Rale No. 8, of the "Rules
of Trade" be amended as to spirits of
turpentine and the redaction on such
barrels be annulled, making the
contents of oil barrels salable
at the figures for irregular or
country casks, which - is half
cent less than the prices of ma
chine made or Northern casks. For a
number of years, on account of the
comparative insecurity of spirits in oil
barrels, and for other alleged reasons,
it had been the custom of "knocking
off" fifty cents for this deficiency.
Later it was reduced to twenty-five
cents and by the ruling of the board
yesterday there will now be no reduc
tion and spirits in oil barrels will be
on a parity in price with irregular nd
country barrels. It is an important
ruling with naval stores producers and
dealers and will tend to simplify trans
actions. - . .
The meeting of the board yesterday
was originally called for 11 o'clock in
the morning but on ' account of the
lack of a quorum it was postponed un
til 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
MARRIED IN ST. JAMES.

Rosset, the accomplished daughter
of Col. and Mrs. W. L. DeRosset, of
this city, to Mr. Charles Alonzo Scott,
a popular and prominent 'cotton mill
man of Graham, N. C.
Without ostentation, with no dis
play of beautiful bridesmaids, the
simplicity was striking and admir
able. The decorations of the chancel
denoted a refined taste, the sanctuary
was lighted with candles, and the
chancel itself brilliant in a flood of
electric lights.
Promptly at the hour the organist,
Mr. E. H. Munson, ushered the bridal
party up the aisle of the church to the
strains of the beautiful wedding
march.
The ushers, Mr. W. C. Lindsay, Mr.
Nash DeRosset, Mr. James Holt Mr.
Ed Williamson, Mr. Robt Nash and
Mr. Gaston Myers, preceded the at
tendants, followed by Miss Lizzie Peck,
the maid of honor, after which came
the bride, leaning upon the arm of her
father, Col. W. L. DeRosset
At the steps of the chancel the bride
was promptly joined by the groom,
who, with his best man, Mr. H. W.
Scott, had entered from the chantry.
Advancing to the sanctuary rail. Rev.
Dr. Robert Strange read the solemn
service according to the beautiful rites
of the Episcopal Church, which made
them man and wife.
The bride was handsomely dressed
in gray crepe de chine, trimmed with
white applique lace, with diamonds
and pearls. Her hat was black tulle,
with a small ostrich feather. .
The costume of Miss Peck, the maid
of honor, was green crepe de chine,
With duchesse lace and pearls. Her
hat was black taffeta, with ostrich
feathers.
The bridal couple went immediately
to the depot for the 6.50 P. M. train,
where they received the best wishes of
a large number of friends and a shower
of rice scattered over them. . After a
few weeks' sojourn in the principal
Northern cities, Mr. and Mrs; Scott
will return to Graham, N. C, where
they will reside in the future.

BUTLER TALKING "ROT.'
Says the Rep.-Pop. Conference Could Not
Agree on Pngion in North Carolina.
There Will Be Only One Ticket.
Special Star Telegram.
Washington, D. CApril 16. Al
though the conference of Republicans
and Populists, held in this city, could
not agree to a fusion, it is very proba
ble that there will be but one ticket
nominated. '
Senator Butler to-day, in speaking
of the conference, said he was very
sorry they had not reached an agree
ment He saidthat the Populists pre
sented the name of Cyrus Thompson
for Governor, but that Senator Pritch
ard and his friends wished Congress
man Linney nominated, and- in sup
port of their claim set up the fact that
they polled the largest vote and were
entitled to the head of the ticket.
The Senator said this point
them in session two days; thi.K he
tried to impress upon the Republicans
that without fusion the Democrats
were sure to win, but thai his argu
ment was of no avail. That there
were other minor disagreements, but
none that could not have been readily
adjusted proyidea they could .have
agreed on thegovernorship. He said
further that the Populists would nomi
nate Dr. Cyrus Thompson at their con
vention and ask the Republicans to
endorse his nomination and divide
the rest of the ticket.
Prominent Democrats here do .not
take any stock in the above statement
given out by Senator Butler or in the
similar one given out to by H. C.
Dockery, but say that this is. merely
given out to divert attention and gain
certain votes that they would other
wise lose. A member of the N. C
delegation today said: "This all
sounds very nice, but it is the rankest
kind of rot. They have no possible
chance without fusion and are fully
aware of the fact Then with fusion
l do not think that any of them are
over zealous to make the sacrifice.
Senator Butler had better smoke up.
Washington, D. C, April 18. The
Washington Post in its issue of to day
contains a dispatch from Raleigh,
dated 12 P. M. yesterday, saying that
Senators Allen and Pettigrew had; just
arrived in the city to attend the Popu
list State Convention. Evidently, the
sender does not know the Senators
when he sees them, for both of them
were at the Capitol to-day and said
they had no idea of attending the Con
vention. For a long time past Senator
Butler has insisted that they would at
tend the Convention. The Star's cor
respondent has it from reliable author
ity that Senators Allen and Pettigrew
informed Senator Butler ten days ago
that they could not see their way clear
to attend the Convention at Raleigh,
as they did not desire to get mixed up
with the race question. For some time
Senator Butler has endeavored to
get several of the Populist representa
tives to attend, but could not secure a
promise from but one. It is a well
known fact he put in an entire after
noon recently in the House, endeavor
ing to get Representative Atwater to
attend, but that venerable gentleman
could not see it that way.
A prominent Republican is authority
for the statement that one of the causes
of the Republicans and Populists not
agreeing at the recent conference held
in this city was caused by the action of
the Republican National Committee,
who informed Senator Pritchard that
they did not desire a fusion and could
not understand why the Republicans
should fuse with a party that was an
ally of the national Democracy and a
supporter of William Jennings Bryan.
Also, that the fusion was but a scheme
to help Senator Butler and could not
possibly help any one else.

'THE GREAT SPRING MEDICINE.
JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood Food and Nerve Energi2er ta

heaven to the "worn out," the run down, the overworked and debilitated. t That "tired
feeling." those "sinking spells," the languor and despondency .which arise from badly nou,
Ished nerves, from thin, vitiated blood and an underfed body, vanish, as if by a magic
spell. TheVeariness, lassitude and nervous prostration which faccompany the spring
time and the heat of summer, are conquered and banished at once. For every (orm 0j
neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and n-jrve, insomnia, hysteria and nervousness
generally, it is almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild wom-out nerve
tissues. It feeds biain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action; it
makes rich, red, honest blood. Newness of life, new hope, new strength follow its faith

It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method in the good old times, to
treat Salt Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from
BLOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such as mercury, arsenic and other mineral
agents. It was expected by this treatment that the poison could! be killed while the blood
was left to course through its channels holding in its circulation
disease. But in this way, every part of the body became morel or less diseased. Notn.
ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not only attacks viru
lently the different structures of the body, but many times the bones are honey-combed
and destroyed. It ofteiwseeks out the nerves and spinal cord, and again it will bring de
'cay and death to some vital organ, as the kidneys, liver or stomach. There is only one
scientific method for the cure of blood taint. That is, PURIFICATION I Every particle
of the blood must be removed through the execretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, bowels,
liver and skin. " First pure, then peaceable." The great restorative, reconstructive and
