It is all very wb11 to perform a given job in good style with the least labor, but it is well to consider that by takiDg a lit tle more time and expending a little more; labor and care at planting, much future work may be saved. The first requisite to securing a good stand and subsequent good yield is good, sound, carefully-selected plant ing seed bt an improved kind of cot ton, .ThjBrais no great difference in the productiveness of the different varieties offered for sale. Their chief general merit consists in and depends upon the fact that the seed have been selects with more or less care for a number of years. Farmers often plant teed that appear to be Eonnd and '"jail jight," but on aooount of im- mg, it is louna mat tne vitality oi many iff tne germs is eitner detect ive or it haa been impaired. There- suit is a poor stand of , feeble, dying plants Secure seed oi good selec tion, even if no more than enough to plant small field from which to Bave seed next fall, and test the vitality of any that may be doubtful by planting early a few handf uls in a warm, sonny exposure in tne garden or in a not-Dea. II foandgooa ninety per cent pi tnem should make vigorous, healty plants. The expediency of planting in hilla or checks depends on the quality of the Beeq, tbe fixed and uniform pro ductiveness ot the individual plants, and the natural or added fertility of the HQiU The very largest yields on small areas have generally been from plan tins? and cultivating in nuls from seed; that were careiuuy selected witn reference to symmetrical development and prqdnctiveness.

A number of wealthy eastern gen mea are stockholders of the concern. Th) suspensions were very quietly received and it is thought that the creditors will grant the extension. 1H CURRENCY.

' Washisotob, ? April 7 House. The House; met this morning at 11 30 in continuation of Wednesday's session. i " Mr. Blanchard, of Louisiana, as a question bf privilege, presented the report ou :the House bill au- thorizing the purchase of lands needed in the work iof improvement of the Cumberland River, Tennessee. This bill was amended in the Senate so as to make it general in its provisions and to provide for the purchase or condemnation of lands or material Whenever! needed for river and harbor improvement, t The House conferees accede to the Senate amendment and so report. The report wis agreed to. Mr. k. SB. Tavior, of Ohio, having demanded ttie regular order, the Speaker stated I that the pending question was upon the motion of Mr. Taylor that the tlouse resolve itself into a committee of tho whole on the direct tax bill. I Mr. OatesJef Alabama, wsi imme diately oii hand With a motion for a recess until 5j o'clock, which was sup- piememea uy .or. weaver, oi lowa, with a motion to substitute four o'clock, aid was fun her supplement ed by ilri Breckinridge, of Arkansas, wun a moijipn suostuuting turee o cicc.k ihejnfth day of the contest was thereupon formally opened with out any signs of weakening on either eiue. I ! I At the conclusion of one roll-call, Mr. Oatos ioqUired whether the friends of the1 ;bifl would permit three hours' debate! On it without condition in reply to the! fdrmer proposition of the fnends Of. the measure- They were ready, he said, to grant any time which might be required for a full and complete debate, desiring simply that the previous question should be considered as ordered, and a vote be taken on the passage of the bill at Borne detinue time. Mr. subatant ally : ;the same proposition which bad previously been offered. . sir. Keed admitted that it was sub stantially it he' same, and said that he was happy to state that the friends of the billj had been perfectly willing to do the reasonable thing from first to last. i Mr. Oates said that the gentlemen on the other laid were conscious of their power to vote down I every amendment atjd pass the bill, leaving its opponents! no opportunity to com promise. I All 1 legislation proceeded on the basis cjf compromise and if he should before fred "on ttie bill in ad vance, all the jnaiority would have to do would be i st still and vote down every amendrijenf. The arrangement simply asked hei opposition to fix an hour when it ai willing to strike its colors and suirirender. Mr. Refed peplied that under the Constitution majority was compe tent to decWe what amendment it would reject, what bills it would pass and what Jnlls it would reiuso to pass-i Jap proposition simply exercised! thbjt constitutional right. Under the Constitution legislation was theresultof tjhe iction of the majority and not the feselt of a yielding of one hundred and I sixty Bix members to sixty tw6 nfembers on a question which the House was perfectly com- petend to deal With. Tbe majority was easier tol : allow any amendment of debate and any number oi amend ments. ) If the amendments were adopted the; matter would go into t 1 1 A , ' 1 1 1 J conference, li not tne oni wouiu pass as it stood and would pass by virtue of hating a majority of the representatives f the people oi tne United States' in favor of it. He had made his proposition and it seemed to him that pven tne way ianng man could compjehenl it. Mr. Oatea said that it was periect- y clear thai) under the Constitution the House had the right to make its rule of procjeedhre. It had done so. Under thes rules tne regular course was that when general debate ended in committee of the whole the bill Bhohld be read paragraph by paragraph jfor ' amendment and de bate had under the five minute rule when the consideration of the bill was completed. I The majority could re port it to tile House and the previous question could be ordered upon it. Instead of iproceeding thus the gen tleman i required its opponents to agree in tjdvance that the previous question should be ordered at a par ticular time. Mr. Reet suggested that the ma jority was endeavoring to proceed in regular; order and had a motion pend ing to I go! into committee of the whole, put tne proceedure was inter rupted! by! ! the gentleman and his friends, and again tne attempt 10 compromise having failed the, battle was resumed. ; After aibther roll-call Mr. Taylor proposed Ithat the House go into committee) of the whole, general de bate on thb direct tax bill to be lim ited to oni hour, but no limitation to h fiTftd nron debate under the five minute rule. Mr. Oates said that he would make an answer h to mat proposuion w u hour or sd. Mr. Taylor suggested that the gen tleman might have until Monday to consider the proposition if he wished to make a! potion ior a recess unm that day. i Mr. Oates "1 will let yoa know in a short tiiie." At I.55j by unanimous consent tho House tobk a recess until 11 45 Mon day. Notwithstanding the apparent willingness of the opponents of the direct; taxi bill Ui accept Mr. Taylor's proposition that the House go into committed of the whole upon that measure Without any limitation being placed upon the five-minute statute, without any agreement as to the defi nite time! when the previous question shall be considered, the parliamentary status of t the bill remains unchanged, On Wednesday laBt Mr. Taylor made a motion to go into oommittee of the whole (without any reference being made to the time of ordering the pre vious question) and it was against this motion that the opponents of the bill proceeded to resort to obstructive measures. Subsequently in the va rious compromises, submitted by Mr. Taylor, there was a stipulation that the final vote on the bill should be taken at a specified time. To this Mr. Oates and his followers uniformly objected. While the proposition now submitted and which probably will be accepted, does not contain this stipulation it practically brings the House back to the situation it occu pied when, Mr. Taylor submitted his first motion.

By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Nashville, Tenn , April 7. A Paris (Tenn ) special to the American says: Kennedy Porter, a son of Ei-Gov. Porter, was shot and probably fatally wounded here Thursday night about 11 o'clock by Will Edmunds. The origin of the difficulty is supposed to be the attentions of youna; Porter to Edmunds' sister, which the latter ob jected to, and has frequently threat ened to kill him if he did not desist. Porter had been out driving with Edmunds' sister that night and had returned the team to the stable and started up Depot street towards the square, when he met Edmunds about the Blanton House, who told him that he was going to kill him and for him to defend himself. Edmunds then fired, the ball, a 38 calibre, strik ing Porter in the left breast, just be low the collar-bon?, ranging down ward. Ou hearing this Porter drew his pistol, but too la'o. Porter now lies in a precarious condition. The wound has not as jet been probed. There were no eye-witnesses to the shooting. Paper Mills Syndicate. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. . New York, April 7- A syndicate including several Georgia capitalists has secured the exclusive right for the Southern States of the Thomp kins process for reducing vegetable fibres to paper, , with the inten tion of establishing mills hi all the cotton States and applying the pro cess to the reduction to paper of cot ton stalks, seed and hulls now practi cally worthless. The promoters of the enterprise claim that they can make goo4- newspaper at two cents per pound and consequently the establishing of these mills will be as important an event in the economic&l history of the South as the establish ing of cotton seed oil mills.

Leaving the "City of Oaks" on the one o'clock a. m. west bound train Sat urday the 31st inst, the writer found himself at Greensboro about 7 o'clock the same morn ing. We were on our way to attend Mongomery Superior court which convened Monday April 2nd. Taking the 1, p. m. train, 4iCape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad," 3 p. m. found us at Millboro the terminus of the "Factory Branch," which is nine miles from Asheboro. After a drive of two hours over a red clay road, the mud being in the mudiest condi tion possible, every mud-hole in the road from half wheel to hub deep being accurately measured by the seeming inability of the driver to keep out of them, Asheboro was reached. Here we were the honored guest of Hon. G. S. Bradshaw and his estima ble lady. In the home of Mr. Brad shaw all is sunshine and happiness, and hospitality is found in its most superlative degree. The next morning (Sunday), after reluctantly bidding good bye to our clever and agreeable host and family, our trip towards Troy, the county seat cf Montgomery, was resumed. Hon. M. S. Rotbins,'that erudite law yer and wise statesman, was our com' panion, in fact, our coming by this routo was in response to an invitation from this clever gentleman. The dis tance of 28 miles was unmarked by any unusual occurrence, the route being through au uninteresting coun try, with a heavy, muddy road most of the way, and but for the exceeding agreeableness and interesting con verse of Mr. Robbins, this trip would have been boring in the extreme. TROT, the county seat of Montgomery, is a small village of one or two hundred souls. It is noted mostly for its num ber of hotels, three in number, with several boarding houses to hear from. The people o.' Troy are very clever and hospitable and could they get "a railroad as en outlet to the outside world their place would soon grow into a good-sized town. The court-house here was burne4 some years ago and court is now held in a miserable appology for a court-house, however lumber is now on the spot, and work will sooa begin on the court house. MONTGOMERY COUNTY in its topographical features is some what like Chatham. Several high ranges of slate hills crors its terri tory in a direction north and south. The3 county is Well drained by the Yadkin river and two of its chief tributaries the Uwharrie and Little rivers. Its territory is quite broken, clays, and generally speaking very lean. In its southeast ern corner there are very large bodies of valuable LONQ LEAF PINE foreBts that have never been cut or bled for turpentine. These forests of gigantic pines cause the saw-mill-man's eyes to dance with delight when he see3 them in all their prime val freedom and beauty towering their majestic heads far above their surrounding companions. THE WATER POWER of Montgomery is very great, the Tad- kin river naving a iau wiimn me county of more than 200 feet and a force per foot of above ooo norse power t Saeh undeveloped sources of wealth should be made to contribute to the wealth and happiness .of our people and it is to be hoped the day is not remote when this fact will receive practical appreciation from capi talists. MINERALS- There are many very valuable gold mines, both vein and placer, in this county, some of them now being worked and are yielding handsome profit, it is said. There are some valuable iron ores found in the great slate belts which constitute so nota ble a feature both geographically and mineralogically m this section. i THE POPULATION. of Montgomery according to the last census was 9,374 white 6,857, colored 2,517. The area of square miles is 489 woodland 179,473 acres, tilled lands 46,209 acres. Cotton is quite a subordinate interest in com parison with grains. There are some fine tobacco lands in this county, but the cultivation of this erop has re ceived but little attention as jet. NOTES. Judge A. O. Avery, who is one of the best men oh the Superior Court bench, is holding court for Montgom ery this week. His dispatch of busi ness has won him the praise of every one except those on the wrong side of the docket. The people of this county are en joying the usual coquetting from railroad men incident to putting the proposition to vote subscription to build a railroad. The proposition comes from a company called "The Great W'estern Air-Line Railroad," which ia claimed to be the "Pennsyl vania Central Railroad." This pro posed line is to run from Charlotte to Weldon, a distance of about 228 miles. It is said the great "P. C li. R." wants a southern outlet and the construction of this link will be a component part of the new line. We would certainly vote three times every day, if necessary, to build a railroad did we live in an interior county over ihirtv miles to . the nearest point of a - railroad- THE REASON WHY. A visit to the TUeWe office and its clever editorial staff explained the reason why the junior editor of that sprightly paper generally heads ius editorial thunder "On the WatchtoW' er." Soon after entering the office we ware introduced by the senior editor to his pretty daughter who presides at one of "the cases." To watch the graceful figure and nimble fingers as thev fly over the "case" in search of the letter needed is too much for tho susceptible junior and this tower of feunsie , loveliness keeps hia heart in a continued flutter as he sits, writes, and vxUahes. Jon are right brother Haywood, "On the Watch tower" is the proper name "ths bcrcoon." The writer will not soon forget the night oi the Srd. Soon after dark the hitherto clear skies were darkened by an ink black, angry looking cloud in the northwestern horison. This cloud seemed to bail and settle when ever tbe lightning's flash would re veal it to the trembling watchers. It advanced with a rapidity almost in credible until the whole face of the sky was enveloped in a blackness so thick as almost to be felt. The roar ing of the wind, even before it reached us, sounded like the roar of distant artillery. The Btorm, a small cyclone ("aurooon" as: some people hereabouts call it) soon broke upon us in all its terrific fury -It was ac companied by a heavy hail storm, the stones being aa large i as partridge eggs. More than thirty window lights were broken out by them at the hotel at which we Were stopping. The storm lasted about an hour. There were sometwenty wagons en camped on the court house square, nearly every one of j which were blown over and contents scattered around promiscously. i One wagoa camped about half a mile from Troy had a large tree blown! down on it, cutting the wagon entirely in two. There were two men with the wagon, but they had just crawled out of it, and missed being killed outright, perhaps. ! The cyclone extended about half mile in width, and destroyed nearly all the standing timber along its path, no one is reported killed. Near ly every body in this; section have holes in the ground as ft refuge from the terrible cyclone. homeward bound. The distance from Troy to Liles ville is somewhere in the neighbor hood of thirty miles. Engaging a seat with the mail carrier we started from Troy Thursday morning. No pen can do proper justice tOi the ex perience of one of these trips. On this oocasion the horse, which has been driven without relief, about thirty six miles each day was pretty well played out to begin with, besides the roads were muddy, rocky and hilly. About 1 p. m., we reached Erie Mills, and there met the next mail carrier, who drove a blind mule of a very wasted-away appearance. We left Erie Mills, about 3 p. m. and reaohed Lilesville, a distance of 12 miles, at 7 p. m. Twelve miles in five hours! From Millboro to Lilesville we had passed through. four counties, Ran dolph, Montgomery, Richmond and Anson. On this last route we crossed Pee Dee river at Smith' ferry. The river at this point is about 200 yards wide and very deep. The lowlands along the river are Very rich and seem to be in a higb state of cultiva- tio.LiimDOSUiiblA. $n xrrtpa our to our eager eyes, once more on tne railroad and then home. i R.
