ViArir rMWt fiiilv. John Robinson, - Commissioner. . The deliiy in publishing'the above was caused by the absence of the edi tor in Virginia in attendance at the bedside of a sick relative, and on our return to Durham we give the mat ter our at tention at the earliest possi ble moment. Tho above is Mr. Rob inson's reply, and the whole of it, to our observations and inquiries of June 2Dth, which doubtless most of our readers will remember. Our readers ' will, ' uo doubt, share with us, the regret that Mr. Robinaon utterly fails to answer the inquiries contained in our artii lo of the 29lh, Such ashe failed to answer we can fairly take and consider as admitted by him. But let us see just what the above reply of Mr. Robinson amounts to anyhow. Is it not a substantial admission, in a dodging sort of way, that what we charged in our question is literally true "that it has been the custom of guano manufacturers to ship goods and then semi tags. It is done by parties outside the State. . Can the agricultural department deny tliisP What is Mr. Robinson's reply f "It was deemed of Ko importance as bearing upon the case.' ! . By whom is such matter deemed of no importance? . Why, by the Agri cultural Department be means of course. 1 For what does the Law say on this subject? Doe it say manufactur er may ship his goods and after wardh tag themt Does it sanction the aximittcd custom of the Depart ment to let a manufacturer ship his goods and afU-rwonbi have the De partment furnish the tag dimt to the agent or consumer having them ' in charge to put thorn on the bag r ' leave them oirjiistasHeeefitl AVbere and upon whom dot the law put the responsibility of tagging the bags? See, 2190 of the kiw plainly reads m follows: "For the purpose of de-1 fraying tle expenses connected with ibeinsiiccUonof ferttbiiersandfertilu ing materials in this State, there shall be a charge of twenty five cents per ton on such fertilizers and fertilizing material for each ftVal year ending NovembtT Sf'th, which shall tw paid BEFORE DELIVERY to auents, dealers, orciiNstuKKs in thisSUite." What tho law here says is pro em- tory and mandatory on the MAR ifAcn reh, that is to say, t tug hb. goods BEPORE DUUVERY to hb ngetlt, dealers, a id consumers. Mr. llobin m, tlie h a I nnd f Mnt of the Agri cultural D.'iotrtiW'iit, npj.iiiiteI speci ally and clotls'd with the duty and authorized to see this law enforced, ays, it is of "No Imort.lnoe.', And it is the custom of the Department to disregard it. Yes, just exactly so. And right here all this trouble about the tax on fertilisers begins. Tho Department has allowed a "custom," contrary to tlte plainly written law to spring up which has led to confusion in the ad ministration of the law and the de velopments have shown that the De partment having set aside and nulli fied the law, then undertaken to administer its "custom, " so as to oppress tho Durham Fertiliser Com pany and let other Companies in the aaine business, BtTT C.iahijc to sell beauU-S state ot taings indeed for the Jaw abiding citizens of the , State to behold! Most people thought and still think that when the Agricultur al Department was established, it was for the sole purposed protecting the great farming class of our people. But, behold how is it administered now? We will soon show that in singling out the Durham Fertilizer Company for attack for disregarding this "custom" of the Dcpannent, the puriwse of the law is lost sight of and the farmers are smitten by the hand of one who should be, and is paid a salary to BE, their friend. If Mr. Robinson had done his plain duty he would have sent out his inspectors and disregarding friend and foe alike, when this law went into effect, " wu' "MVU . c i6 i...- 1.1 i - .1 i 1 .l fertilizer in the btate outside tho place of manufacture not ; having a tag on it, as the law required, and if he bad good reason to believe a fraud was intended, he should at once have taken steps to confiscate the property by legal proceedings, and if be had good reason to believe no fraud was intended he should just as promptly have released the goods on receipt of the tax. And this should have been the uniform custom and such a cus tom would have - been sanctioned by the "Equal Laws, equally adminis tered" which is the foundation upon which our republican institutions are built. When partiality in the ad ministration of a law enters, then op pression begins. . .i " But the very strangest thing about this whole business is, that after al lowing this unlawful custom of the department to spring up and grow, M Robinson, the avowed friend of the tanners, begins, continues nud persistently keeps up his fight against the Durham Fertilize Company, which is well known to be the compa ny above all others whiclf ia receiving the patronage of the Farmers' Alli ance , It he aid ttmoatae complaint of the Farmers' Alliance his conduct would be consistent; but how does be stand when the Alliances that bought the goods pass solemn resolutions de nouncing the conduct ol he Cum missioner t " And why is it we see agents of other fertiliser manufactur ing concerns taking sides with the Commissioner t In doing so, do other manufacturers and their agents' look ith gratitude on Mr. Robinson in relieving them of the duty Of buying tags beforehand 'and tagging their own goods before shipment and ruu- ninglikeaduck after a June bug for the Alliance goods ! ' We venture the assertion upon reliable information that 300 bags of guano, without tags on them, were shipped by another manufacturer, (other than t the Dur ham Fertilizer Company), since the tag law weut into effect, to an agent in Oxford and 280 of those bags were hauled out in wagons from Oxford to the farms of the consumers, before the tags for those bags reached Oxford at all, and when the tags did reach Ox ford only 20 bags out of the 300 re mained in the hands of the agent at Oxford. This is cited as merely an instance to show how beautifully the Tustom" of the department works in disregard of the plain buiguage of the law above quoted requiring the'tax to be paid even "before delivery to the agent," to say nothing of his de livery to the consumer . who puts the guano out of sight iu the ground. Imagine, if you can, some old Gran ville farmer, in a hurry to plant his crop, and bis guano on bis premises ready for use, waiting for the manu facturer to write to Raleigh for tags, and for the department to write to the agent at Oxford and send them, and for the agent at Oxford awaiting to see somebody from the neighborhood to send them by, and the neighbor having his own affairs to look after, waiting a convenient time to drop over to see the patiently waiting con sumer to deliver to him the tags, and with what alacrity the old Granville farmer, having waited so patiently for days, to get the tags, when at last he does receive them, puis them on the guano bags and within five niin uUn af terward opens the bngsaud begins to scatter his guano. Does the law contemplate such a "cus'om" as this t Where is the assurance or guaran tee to the department of getting the tax at all under such a "custom f And above all why single out the Al liance goods and treat them 6r harsh ly and at the same time ' treat the goods of others so leniently I we nave now exnnustea our space for this issue; but as sure as the Sl N shines we intend before leav ing tho subject to turn on all the bghts until our readers shall see this whole business" exposed and put in its true liht. and then they will feel sure, when thoy look at the matter impartially, ceo that this is really a light against the State Farmers' Al !imce, and the IXirham Fertilizer Comp my is 6nly tho milium of at tack lo ro.ic;h tha Alliance; We sha'd have a few lines on that "Analysis" business in our noxt and pursue this subject to the en Jj "if it takes all summef." ' ! ; Haywood VVbtte Sulphur We first visited these cele brated sprinscs in the summer of 1831 and was charmed with this beautiful spot, with its great balsam mountains towering to the clouds on every side, with a rippling brook (a noted trout stream) flowing through the lawn a short distance from the hotel, , The waters of the Wmte Sul phur Springs have been noted for a century or more for their invigorating and life giving properties. Here .the wild In dians who live in the mountain gorges have been coming for ages to quail these delicious w iters. They can be seen here often to the present day, for they regard it as the "water of life," and they do drink freely. A few years ago tne old hotel building was destroyed by fire and a new, handsome, spacious edifice has been erected by Maj. Stringfield, the owner of the springs. It has been supplied with all modern', improvements and elegantly furnisned. The hotel has been leased to Mr. H. M. Bright, late of the Balsam Mountain Hotel. A short stay there convinced us that Mr. Bright understood how to cater to the inner man: His estimable wife gives her per sonal attention to the culinary department. If you wish to seek a renewal of health, H you wis to enjoy a visit to one of i he grandest sections m the world, - visit these springs. Southern Tobacconist. A WenllhVrUolden Hair. A Gainesville, Tex., girl has the longest hair in the world. It is 10 ft a inches long. The present growth is of the past 7 years, as in 1884 her head was shaved during a spell of brain fever. It is necessary to her health to cut out large quanti ties of hair every few months, and this sh-j has a regular sale lor irom some large wig manu factory in the East, which pays her well for it, as its fineness and silky gloss is exceptional, being of a much admired red- gold tint.

A Boy's Unique Love LcttcV, The Henderson Gold Loaf says: The most uniqu, fervent and de licious love letter we have had the pleasure of reading since' the days when we used to be in, that kind of business ourself.i came under our notice a tW days ago. The boy who wrote it is afjout 10 years old, nnd the girl is presumably in tho same neighborhood. With a promise not to call any names, wo hnve been permitted to print the charming missive. Here it is: "Deau Em.ma1 love you and I wish VOU would writn to m 1 1 love you and I wish I could kiss "n . you. r raraa, you iook so rosy. I love you, don't you love me? I wish VOU would writft to m I guess you love me. Tdon't care if you don't, 1 will wjrite lo you anyway. I want vou (to write to me and if you have no lead pencil i wm give you one anu some paper. i am so glad that vou love me."

I thought you thought more of me. 1 have given you about twenty-five cents' 'worth of candy,.and you don't , treat me H i -, wen, oesmes i give you some gum." , - . , There is no doubt about 'the condition of tluit boy. He is in lovo. He may be only 10 years o'd, but if he "lives to bo 10 he will never be an v more m love than he was when ho penciled this letter; ' . Ii.'('lih!';-'. There are men who never have a good word to say of anybody. v ii i r, , 1 1 : ix v iiKiLwr now nooie anu oi now good repute a man may be, these backbiters will cofltiuue to say something of disparagement. They tlo not often speak directly pgainst a good mau, but by im plication and inuuendo oek to bi'smirch a fair and honorable reputation. Such men are a blight and bane to society. Of ill-repute themselves, they would drag others down to the same low level. The sight of an honest, trustworthy, high minded citizen, is surticient to give them a bad attack of the spleen, which they seek to rem edy by inventing stories deroga tive to good character. Their own inherent badness causes them to think others must be bad, or indifferent, also. The chronic backbiter would seem incurable. He will listen to no arguments in a good man s favor. That all men are, more or less vicious is his premise, and the most convincing proof would not drive it from his mind. Trulv a most deplorable state of mind and heart to be in! Were there no honest men in the world, things would come to n standstill, and the earth would almost cease to revolve. It is thejr who make life and civili sation what it is, and keep us from the primal chaos. But the born backbiter will entertain no such view as this, and goes on in his daily round of beli;ilhig everything and everybody. He seems to take great delight in it, and to roll it out m a sweet morsal under his tongue. Wt think, if he could see how small, petty and insignificant such a course in life is. and how it dwarfs and belittles his human ity (if there be -a grain loft in him), he vnld instantly reform and speak nothing but good of man k yid forever afterward. - Mamox Haulaxo i Mrs. Tcr hune) has writlon fifteen sue cessf u'. works half a dozen books on household matters, founded a magazine, contributed large ly to journalism, is an active member of Sorosis, n busy mid capable worker in church mat ters, a mother and a graudmoth er.
