was about 18 months old, and nearly
frozen at the time of discovery. The
mother was seen with the child near that
locality late the evening before. She had
evidently abandoned the child to its fate,
and she may have placed it'between the
rails, but it, was not found so. The facts
point to foul play and the officers in the
township should investigate the matter.

Farewell Meeting.
The farewell meeting of the Choral
Union, for the present seasion was held at
the residence of Maj. G. P. Erwin, on hast
Thursday evening. The meeting was in
formal and the members were in the
midst of a pleasant conversation, when
they were surprised by Mrs. Erwin's
serving them lunch. She presided with
her characteristic suavity of manner and
seemed delighted with the pleasure her
thoughtful surprise gave the party. After
lunch an impromptu concert was given
Nearly all the members "poured their
souls" into favorite songs, until . a late
hour when Maj. Erwin, president or the
Union, rose and presented Miss Rumple,
the director, with "Dore's Illustrated Bi
ble," and a copy of Landseer's Sketches."
These books were given Jty the Union to
Miss Rumple as mementoes of the season,
and as a token of their recognition and
appreciation of her services to the Union.
It was after the midnight hour when the
party crowded around the piano and
sang with mingled feelings of sadness
andjoy:
Should auld aquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind ?
Should auld aquaintance be forgot
And days o' auld lang .syne.

Burning for Pillage.
A . more desperate and daring plot
against the property of citizens was never
attempted here than the one discover
ed and prevented by policemen Poole
and Barringer on last Thursday night.
In the silent watches of the night they
discovered! smoke coining from the cellar
of Bingham's store through the iron
grating. Hastening to the rear they dis
cover the Incendiary as be leaps reeking
from a cellar door and attempts to scale
a fence. , Bang! bang! for nine times, and
tbp guilty man falls, a captive. The
alarms are sounded. Prompt responses
enable them to qoench the roaring flames
under Buerbaum's store. The North Car
olina Herald, Buerbaum's store and
Bingham's store are saved, and perhaps
others. But the prisoner, who is he? A
negro, named Bill, notorious for his ec
centricities and for his avarice. He is
told that he has but a short time to live
and asked to confess the motives which
led him to set fire to Buerbaum's store.
He replies, in substance, that he thought
it was Bingham's store (filled with pro
visions and family groceries) and that
Harrison Jones (another notorious negro)
had given him three silver dollars to set
fire to any store along the row, so that
they could carry off what they wanted
in the excitement. The confession was
listened to by the crowd and lynching
was spoken of. The met that he was
lying on ol ground and wounded, no
one knew how .seriously, alone saved his
neck. Harrison Jones was arrested im
mediately and--had to be gotten very
quickly to jail to prevent lynching.
The negro Bill, supposed by some to be
crazy, has since denied his statement, and
now says that Harrison Jones had noth
ing to do with the burning. Bill was
struck by two balls from Barringer's re
volver, both taking effect in the left leg
above the knee. The bone was struck by
both balls. Six-h in brief is the story.
The people of the town have just cause
to be indignant, and to demand the heav
iest punishment the law can inflict on
characters so desperate.
There is no doubt that there was an
organized party of pillagers waiting for
the alarm, to come out and rob the mer
chants while pretending to aid them. It
is a dreadful thing to contemplate. When
men become so depraved as to willingly
run the risk of destroying many thous
ands of dollars worth of goods for the
sake of a few grabs as they are removed
from the burning buildings, it is high
time for the majesty of the law to visit
speedy punishment upon such reckless
offenders. 1 .
The crime is a double one and hanging
the penalty for each. It was burglary to
break into the cellar and arson to set fire
to the building. There were two young
men sleeping in the store.

Holtshouser Mine.
Mr. Herman who has been opening the
Holtshouser mine, in Rowan county, has
demonstrated its value, so that machinery
is to go up there at an early day.
Prospecting:.
Mr. H. H. Crowell, prospector, lias
been working up some new places in
Rowan. He reports three new finds of
importance, and those" interested in new
properties should not fail to see him.
The Eller Mine.
in Rowan will be opened soon by Messrs.
J. S. McCubbins Jr., aud'S. R. Harrison
of this place. It is a rich free milling
brown ore, and promises rich returns to
the promoters.
New find in Montgomery.
Mr. J. D. Munn reports to the Troy
Vidette, a new find in Montgomery coun
ty. The vein, indicating gold and silver,"
was discovered on his place, in Hollings
worth township, ,9 miles southeast of
Troy. It is said that both metals aire
visible in the pannings, the gold predomi
nating. The Russell, Coggins and Steele mines
in that county are going at full blast and
a larger number of hands arc being em
ployed. Haile Mine.
At the Haile mine, in South Carolina,
a large amount of work is being done.
The new system of Blake crushers and
rolls recently introduced are working
nicely. They were put in on trial and
have not yet been received, but from ap
pearances they will be. Theyjiavea large
force at work, and they mine and mill
200 tons of ore each 24 hours. They
have an immense lode, some GO feet wide.
It is low grade, but uniform and pays
well with the present intelligent man
agement. Big Bonanza.
The Big Bonanza mine, in Rowan coun
ty, is just now receiving the attention- of a
lot of moneyed men. The property lies
9 miles south of Salisbury. The vein is
from 3 to 5 feet wide, and has been open
ed to a depth of 30 feet. The vein has
been traced for 1200 feet and cut into at
short intervals. The ore is brown free
milling quartz, and may go into sulphu
rets belOw the water level. The gentle
men now interested will come to a decis
ion within the next 30 days, which, should
the investigations prove satisfactory, will
result in opening the mine on a perma
ncnt basis.
Shive Mine.
The Shive mine in Cabarrus co nty, is
under the control of Mr. S. C. Mller, of
Salisbury. He has had a new shaft sunk
and six or eight tons of the ore ekposed
on the dumps. He sent several tons to
the Yadkin Clorination Works hefre, and
it yielded an average of more thari $13 to
the ton. The property embraces 45 acres,
which "straddles" the vein. Thefvein is
two and a half feet wide, and traceable
for a mile. The ore is a brown quartz,
and is free milling. Mr. Miller fis san
guine as to the value of the property, and
thinks it as good as any in Cabarns. He
reports that there is gootl-prosriect of
the mine being worked regularly . This
test run has proven the value of tljc ma
terial whicfi is abundant as Jjhown by the
size ami length of the lode.
duality and Cost of Fertilizers for the
Five Tears Past.
We have made some calculations based
upon the analysis of fertilizers-4-more
than sixty brands for each year made by
this Station for the last six years, and
the reported prices for fertilizers for the
same years.
The average composition of the ainmo
niated superphosphate with potash (so
called complete fertilizers,) for each year,
was as follows :
AMMONIATED SUPERPHOSPHATES WITH
POTASH.
Average in
1880. 1882. 1883. -1884. 1885.
Available phos
phoric acid, 7.40 8.91 8.59 8.15 9.18
Ammonia, 2.70 2.60 2.33 2.67 2.65
Potash, 1.30 1.82 2.18 2.13 2.34
Valuation on the
1885 basis, $25.42 28.2C 26.96 27.28 29.37
In calculating the valuations the same
figures have been applied to the average
analysis of each year for the purpose of
comparing them. lnese figures prove
forcibly that there has been a gradual,
but steady improvement in the quality ot
its kind of fertilizer from 1880 to 1885.
By the same analyses, the average per
cent, of available phosphoric acid has in
creased from 7.40 in 1880 to 9.18 in 1885,
the avesage per cent, of potash has in
creased from 1.80 in 1880 to 2.34 in 1885,
while the per cent, of ammonia remains
remarkably enear one figure, for all the
years, except 1883, when animoniates were
unusallv scarce. Thus the valuation of
the average fetilizer, using the prices for
1885 for all analyses alike, has, with a few
fluctuations, steadily climbed up from
$25.42 er ton in 1880 to $29.37 per ton in
1885. The most remarkable thing js,
that during this period 1880 to 1885, the
actual cash prices paid by North Carolina
farmers for these fertilizers has declined
from $40 to $30 per ton. The actual sel
ling price has declined $10 per ton, while
the quality or grade has improved $4
worth on the ton, making a total gain to
our farmers of $14 per ton.
This means that North Carolina far
mers could get in 1885 for three millions
of dollars what they had to pay four mil
lions for in 1880 yes, and get an arti
cle one-sixth better than the 1880 article
was.
The cost of ingredients of fertilizers to
manufacturers, especially of phosphates,
has declined somewhat, but not enough
to account for a gross difference of $14
per ton, for that is what the difference Is
between 1880 and 1885 on a fertilizer of
the same grade. Manufacturers of fer
tilizer will tell you and telj you correct
ly, that the true explanation is that com
petition, or .something else in the devel
opment of this great industry, has re-
uuceu xne pnee of fertilizers to the tar
mers from a price which included big
profits to a price which now includes a
very low margin of profits, while the

Interfering with the States.
The advocates of the Blair educational
bill vehemently disclaim any desire or
purpose to interfere with or control the
school system ot the several States. They
say that the General Government, after ap
propriating seventy-seven million dollars
for schools, desires to follow the money no
further than to see to its proper distribu
tion, let one of the sections of the bill
provides that unless a State raises by taxa
tion as mucri money as her share under the
law, she shall forfeit the difference be
tween the amount of Federal donation and
what she appropriates out of her own
treasury. The government appropriation
may be so high as to make the State taxa
tion under this bill a grievous burden.
But the State mut raise the money or
forfeit its share of Federal bounty" al
though its people must contribute their
equal proportion to the Federal reven
ues.
Another section of this bill forbids the
use of any money appropriated by it for
building school houses. While the erec
tion of more school houses tor the enjoy
ment of this money would be necessary in
many States, these States must resort to
further taxation to provide the school
houses, or else forfeit all right to share in
the seventy-seven million dollar appropri
ation. Still it is pretended that this meas
ure does not interfere with the school
Jegislation of the several States. It offers
to bribe the States with gifts on the one
hand and to coerce and punish them with
forfeitures on the other. The whole spirit
of the bill is that ot a superior toward in

Physicians Have Found out
That a contaminating and foreign element
in the blood, developed by indigestion, is
the cause of rheumatism. This settles upon
the sensitive sub cutaneous covering of the
muscles and ligaments of the joints, caus
ing constant and smiting pain, and aggre
gating as calcareous, chalky deposits which
produces stiffness and distortion of the
joints. No fact, which experience has
djemonst rated in regard to Ilostetter'a Sto
mach Bitters, has stronger evidence to
support than this, namely, that this medi
cine of comprehensive ases checks the for
midable and atrocious disease, nor is it less
positively established that it is preferable
to the poisons often used to arrest it. since
the medicine contains only salutary ingre
dients. It is also a signal remedy for ma
larial fevers, constipation, dyspepsia, kidney-
and bladder ailments, debility and
other disorders. See that jou get the

Don't Kill Birds!
Some time ago the Star entered its pro
test against the destruction of birds that
is now going on to an alarming extent all
over the country. The feathered victims
are utilized for millinery purposes and
the ruthless destroyer, whose name is
legion, like David of old, slays his ten
thousand every year. In one season 40,
000 terns were killed at Cape Cod by one
man; at Cobb's Island, Va., a contractor
baggad and shipped to the Paris market
40JJOO skins of gulls, and Texas sent
several lots of white egrets, in quantities
of 10,000 each, to New York, to supply
the demand for fashionable plumes. The
fashion that would extinguish the birds
is neither humane or civilized; it is sim
ply cruel, and should be abandoned. N.

The First Lady.
In this land of boasted freedom, where
it is presumed that every man or woman,
provided they are honest and upright,
should have a fair ehahec in the race of
life, to gather whatever of honors lie in
their path, it is supremely disgusting to
note the efforts to promote castes which
would put to the blush the nut i es of Cal
cutta. There should be-no such thing as
a ' 'first American lady.'r There are too
many noble mothers, wives, sisters, aunts
and even cousins and sweethearts, to admit
of such a toadying discrimination. All
highminded, virtuous American ladies
are the ''rirst ladies of the land," and no
one lady should carry off the palm alone.

Moimonism.
That a large amount of sympathy has
been wasted upon Mormon women is
proved by the action of the female advo
cates of polygamy in Salt Lake City. At
a recent crowded meeting they vigorously
protested against any interference on the
part of the government with -their
'"rights," and passed resolutions denoun
cing the federal courts for attempting to
enforce the laws. After such an offensive
outbreak and positive glorification in
their own shame, the last bit of com
punction ought to be wrung from the
government officials, and the whole nasty
brood, women as well as men, prose
cuted to the full extent of 'the law. Neu

This machine is especially adapted for placet mines. It ran be worked with er
without water; it requires no mill for pulverization, it only being necessary to sift the
sand, which tan be done at a trifling cost, so that Ibw grade ore can be worked profita

Randolph county, where it met with such success as to warrant the belief that it wilt
be of geeat value to the mining interest of this State.
This machine has an electrical attachment by which the mercury, riionld ft he riek
