The cloud is .'no bigger than a very small hand at this writing," but it is a cloud and can be seen without the aid of a space aniiihillating plass The wires were laid during, the session of the Leg islature and were put underground A look over the held affords some entertaining' reflection. Gov. Jar vis is out ot the race, but is under stood to be grooming Capt. Octa vins Coke, who by the way, is go ing to 1h a formidable candidate for the nomiiiatioii. Capt. Coke is a hard worker, a thorough Demo crat, a pood organizer, a young man and has some money To know him personally is to admire him.. He is a Virginian by. nativi ty, but is thoroughly North Caroli nian in feeling and sentiment. He will have friends 'outside of ''the Jarvis faction." It is no secret that he is in the field and at no dis ' taut day you may expect to bear of a "Coke boom." The name of Sec retary of "State Saunders is men tioned in connect-ioiij with the nom ination, but it is without ids con seut or knowledge. With his phys ical ailments it would be impossi ble for hini to canvass the State, and il State the could be won with out a hurrah, the duties of the office would be more than he could stand. Col. Tom Holt, a rich manufacturer and prominently identified, with the agricultural interests, is known to be a candidate and will push his claims. lie has the wherewithal to start a good healthy boom and keep it agoing. From all accounts he is just in a humor for that sort of diversion. But the '-Old Fifth'' district, that saved the party in the late contest, has entered the lead horse, and he will stay well in the lead, it all. tlie indications arf talui i-i-.li. ill iin ItVi.il Af 'Siali of Guilford, is the people's choice for Governor. His record, in war and in peace is wit lout a flaw or a blemish.

Vance's seat in the Senate is in volved in the result, and while there is not likely to be any form idable opposition to his re-election, a successful caudtdacyfor the gov- ernorsiiip would make .it certain. The hitch in the arrangement is in naming the candidate lor Lieutenant-Governor, who will necessarily succeed to the governorship. A eratiei newspaper in Raleigh.

As yet the movers j are working very quietly, but it is j known, nevertheless, that the pro ; jet't is well under win . ; A Woman's Unquenchable Loye. A most touchiug scene occurred at the Northwestern Station a : few days since says the Baltimorean, a young man was ai tested and con fined for a niglit upon the charge of having struck the--partner of his ! bosom the shaies of his joys and sorrows, lne orneers saw that the couple had been uuused to such scenes and dealt quite gently with the accused. Next morning the young and beautiful wife put in an early appearance. . Her eyes indi cated that she had spent a sleepless night, and the bloom ou her youth ful cheek was slightly faded. She was most exquisitely attired, and "LET ALL THE E3D THOU AIJI'ST AT, BE TIIV COUXTRT'S, THY (iOD. AD TRUTHS WILSON, NORTH CAROLINA, APRIL 6. 1883. her tout ensemble told too plainly of the intellect and refinement of which she was possessed. lie had struck her she told Capt. Earhart, but she knew it was done in an un guarded moment, and hen with such emotion choking her utter ance that she was barely able to ar ticulate, "he is my husband; I love him tenderly, and I freely forgive him." She did not want him whipped, either publicly or pri vately, because she knew he would never again put his hands upon her save in kindness. Jus tict Hamilton and Capt.' Earhart, are both very sensible men and af fectionate husbands, and they re solved to save this young couple and avoid an expose if possible. They sought an interview with the erring husband and remonstrated with him as to conduct. They told him what a treasure he possessed,' and how by a single blow, he had well nigh dashed into pieces his cup of matrimonial bliss, i'or his wife was deeply regretful of what had occurred, anxious to forgive him, and still loved him devotedly. The husband's contrition exhibited itself in tears, and in less time than it takes to write it, those whom God had joined together, were again in one another's arms. The magistrate told the penitent Benedict to 4go in peace and sin no more," and .the Justice and the Captain have been in a lively humor ever since, knowing that "blessed are the peace makers for they shall be called the children of God." The True Story of Protection. The editor of the Lewistown (Alpine) "Gazette" says he recently listened to a speech from a lum berman in Michigan Hon. John C. Blanchard who thus gave his reasons for1 favoring a high tar riff: "Now," said he, "I am high tar riff on lumber, but low tariff on sa't copper, iron, etc. I will tell you why, I own timber lands and sell stumpage ; besides 1 operate large ly myself, and this tariff puts money in my pocket. I get two dollars , per thousand more for my stumpage,,and two dollars a thou sand more for my boards. I have just sold 5,000,000 feet of lumber for $16,50 per thousand, mill run; a pretty good price. Voices: Th at's so, that's so. Well I th juk so too. But for the tariff' I should have not got so much by dollars a thousand. Now, two dollars a thousand on 5,000,000 is just 310, 000. That is the difference to me, in one operation, between high tar iff' and free lumber. I am high tariff on lumber, I am. "This blessed tariff' taxation they tell us is till for the benefit of the American laborer. What do you suppose I dit with the 10, 00)! Divided it among my work men! Not a bit of it. I put it right into this old calfskin wallet, I did. Of all in y' workmen I am the only protected American laborer! Wages i lepend on the supply and demand, my friends, not ou tariff taxes. hen you see two men after one boss, wages are low, but when you see two bosses after one man wages are high, that is the whole of it the theory, principal and practice. "I am for high tariff on lumber. Can yon doubt it! And in this I can prove to you that I am a Christian. Tlie good book tells us that he that- provideth not for his own household hath denied the faith and is worse than au infidel. Now I provide for my own house hold, I do, for I am in favor of high tariff on lumber; therefore T am a Christian, and . expect to go to Heaven politically. But you farm ers who have houses, barns, sheds, pigpens and fences to build, what are you! Infidelsf every one of you are worse than infidels for you provide not for your own house hold but for mine! Now if you want to be Christians and provide for your own households, just' keep right ou voting the Republican ticket and goto hell!" ' Sew Postal Laws. One good thing done by the late Congress, which did so many bad tilings, was the chaDge made in the existing postal laws. The reduction of letter postage from three to two cents can go into effect at the op tion orthe Postmaster General any time from the present to September 3rd. The new postal note authoriz ed for the sending of money through the mails in any amount ranging from one cent to 5,00, will be found very convenient. The note costs but three cents, is about the size of j a greenback bill, and has dates and amounts on it, witu Dtanks lor useof sender and person t whom money is to be paid. The post master at the sending postoffice punches the note Jat the proper date, amount it calls for &c. A tennessee schoolmaster set up the practice of kissing the girls by way of punishment. The school became so refractory under this coarse of discipline that the trustees had to interfere in orderto reestab lish the habit of study. Handsome rascal! THAT BAD BOY. -:o: WORKED BY HDISELF HIS BELOVED PA. ON A ROMAN CANDLE ACT. Tin: COMET "But look here." EX PL O D ED. says the groc ery man, as he gave the boy a little dried up lemon, about as big as a prune, and told him he was a ten or, 'what is the matter with 'Your eye wnikers and your hair? They seem to be burned off. . "O. thunder! Didn't pa tell you about the comet exploding and burning us. all? That was . the worst thing since the flood, when Noah run an excursion boat, from Kalamazoo to 'Mount -Ararat. You see, we had been reading' ' about the comet, which is viable at 4 o'clock in the morning, and I heard la tell the hired girl to wake him and ma up when she got up to set the pancakes and go to early mass so they could see the- c.itter. : The hired girl is cathlick a.'d she don't make no fuss about it, but she has got more good square religlii than a lozen like pa. It makes a good deal of .difference how religin affects different people, don't it! Now pa's religin makes him wild, and he wants to kick my pants and pull my hair, but the hired girl's religin makes her want to hug me, if I am abused, and she puts anarchy on my bruises, and gives me .pie.- Pa would not get up at 4 o'clock and go to early mass, unless he could take a fishpole along and some angle worms. The hired girl prays when no one sees her but God, but pa wants to get church inn or sisterin, ana pray loud as though he was an auctioneer selling tin razors.- Well, then I heard pa tell the hired girl to wake him up about half an hour before she woke ma up, and then I got my chum to stay with me, and we made a comet to play on pa. You see my room is right over pa's, and we got) two lengths of -stove-pipe and covered them all over with phosphorous, so fchey looked just as bright as a com et. Then we got two Roman candles and a big sky rocket, and wewere going to touch off the koiiiau, candles and sky rocket just as pa and ma got up to looking at the comet. I didn't know that a sky rocket would kick back, did you? Well, you'd dide to see the comet. We tied a piece of white rubber gardeu hose to the stove pipe for a tail and went to bed; when the girl woke us up we laid for pa ami ma. Pretty soon we heard pa's window open, and I looked out, and pa and ma hail their heads and half their bodies out of of thj window. They hail their night shirts on and looked jjNtVike the pictures of Nillerites waiting for the world to come to an l end. Pa looked up and seen the stove-pipe, tjind he said: Hannah, do just loolv up there. That is the damnest comet I ever saw. It is as bright as day. See the tail of it. Now that is worth getting up to see." , "Just then my chum lit the Rom. an candles and I touched off the rocket, and that:s where my eye winkers went. The rocket bursted the joint of the stove pipe, and they fell down ou pa, but ma got her head inside before the comet struck and was't hurt, but one length of the stove pipe struck pa eudways on the neck and almost cut a. bis cuit out of him, and the fire and sparks just poured down his hair, and burned 'his night shirt. Pa was scart. lie thought the world "was coming to'an end, and the win dow came down on his back, and he began to sing, "Earth's but a oesert urear, iieaven is my Home." 'I seed he was caught in the Wow, and I went down stairs to put out the fire on his night shirt, and put-up the window and let him in and he said: "My boy, your ma and I are going to heaven, but fear you will go to tbe bad place," and 1 told him I would take rav chances, and he had better put on his pants if he was going anywhere that there would be liable to be la dies present, and when he got his head iu ma told him the ' world was not coming to an end, but somebody had been setting off fire works, and she guessed it was that dear little boy, and when I saw pa feeling under the 1ed for a bed-slat I got up stairs pretty previous now and doirt yon forget it, and ma put cold cream where the sparks burnt pa's shirt, and pa said anoth- er day wouldn't pass over his head before he had me at a reform school.

It's a -mean father that won't stand a little scortchin' in the interest of science."

Posting His Wile. They are right smartly tickled, up in Wilksboro, over a letter and notice which the clerk of the. Super io Court of Wilkes recently, re ceived from a citizen of a neighbor ing county. The notice was to all persons not to give to the wife of the writer ot it, '-Either food or ray mentor Lodging or Shelter or En tertainment of any kind What so Ever," under the threat that any one "so doing Will bo Delt with ac: cording to Law," and lielov is a true copy of the letter to the clerk, written ou the reverse side of the; "Mr. Clerk of Wilks Co. N. C. dear sir Please Post up this or Tack i"; up on the Court House door at! Wilksboro' North Carolina if .you p'ease and I do tlie same in return for you. Your Ever ." The clerk will probably never forget the kindness of the deserted husband in offering to repay the courtesy in kind. Stotexrilte Land mark. Cotton Seed Meal ys. Cotton Seed. : We give below answers to ques tions propounded to the "Southern Cultivator," concern ing composting with cotton seed uieal instead of the whole cotton seed. It will be seen that one ton of meal is valued as high as three tons of seed. 1. Mr. F. C. Furman's wonderful farming and formula seem to have created a great deal of sensation among the farmers Please inform me if it will pay to use cotton seed meal, and what proportion", instead of thirty bushels cotton seed, as it is in Mr. Furman's formula, for each acre of cotton? It is impossible to get sufficient cotton seed hereto mix with the other .ingredients of his fornnila. 2. I have a great deal of rich river mold or muck on the river bottom, which I wish to mix or compost for cotton. Will it pay me to mix CO bushels or more muck with 100 or 200 pounds kainit and 200 or 400 pouuds acid phosphate for each acre! Will it pay also to add cotton seed meal to iti an(l i"1 what proportion? My land verages about 350 or -400 pounds of seed cotton per, acre without manure. Do you think this mixture or com post will make cotton yield wel', also prevent it from shedding or rusting? . New Subscriber, Ch'eraw, S. C. Answer.!. Yesr Cotton seed meal will answer in place of whole cotton seed. Lse one-third as much meal as seed (by weight). 2 If your mnck is rich in vegetable matter, it will make, an excellent compost with acid phosphate, kainit and cotton seed meal; add 100 pounds of the meal to every 200 pounds of acid phosphate. The more muck the better the ex pense of handling being the chief consideration, looking at the mat ter from an economical point of view. j A Kissing Game. If there is any pleasure in origi nality the young women of West Chester ought 'to be delighted with themselves. - While on a sleigh ride given to two or three dozen of their gentle men friends a lew days ago. they invented a new and somewhat re markable parlor game. After a supper in a country hotel the young women withdrew to the parlor leaving their guest in the dining room. One by one the young men were called intb the par lor. Each young man was asked to choose a youug woman and to seat him in a chair liefore her. His eyes were then tightly band aged and he was kissed twice. After this seemingly pleasant performance he was led to one emi of the room and! the bajidagerej moved. The young man was welfl pleased with the newgame, but it didn't end there. When the second young man was brought in and seated blindfold in a chair before the young woman of his choice, the first young man noticed the a peculiar feeling of horror that the black cook was brought iu to do the kissing. By the time that all the 3'oung men hud been treat ed the same way they were ready to walk home. I The new game has cast a gloom over the young jeopIe of West Chester. It will, never be played there again. The young women wiU not get the chance. pniladel- phia Times. ff-A The Tennessee Legislature has passed a bill "pensioning all Con federate soldiers who lost one or both eyes during the war, and all Federal soldiers not pensioned by the United States Government." FURMAN'S FARM. :o:- MR. FURMAN'S IDEA OF HOW TO FARM SUCCESSFULLY'. A SCIENTIFIC. VIEW OF IT. HEAD A XD 11EFLECT. "When I determined to go to fanning, five years ago, I saw; that it would not do to farm in the old way. I saw farmers around mo getting iHXrer every day, though they wprked like slaves. I saw them starving their land so that each year their yeld was scautier, and their farms, less valuable..- I saw that it was still the plow fol lowing tlie axe, and that as fast as a farmer starved .out; a piece of '.and he cleared out a new piece. Worse than all, I saw that my own land rented to small farmers WAS 35 PER -.CENT. POORER AND LESS VAUA11LE ' than it was a few years ago, , and that it would soon cease to pay me rent. I knew that Georgia was blest with the best conditions of season -and soil, an 1 that if proper ly treated it would y ield large re sults. . ; ''I therefore selected sixty-five acres of the ioorest land I had and went to work. - The first thing, of course, was to enrich the soil. To do this there was but one way, to feed it, and give it more food than the. c?ops. took from tf and above' all to . give it prop r food. I kuew that certain phos phatic manures stimulated the soil so that it produced heavy crops for a while and fell off". I wanted none of these. I did not believe in soil analysis.- That was not exact enough. 'What I wanted was to .know exactly what a perle.ct cotton' plant took, from tho soil. .That ascer tained, then to restore to the soil exactly those elements in larger quauity than the crop had ab stracted them. This is the basis of intensive farming, and it always give land that is richer year after jear. I had a cotton plant ana lyzed, and found that I ireeded eight elements in 'hiy manure, of which commercial fertilizers furn. ished only three and the soil only one. 1 therefore detet miued to buy chemicals, and mix them with hu mus, muck, decayed- leaves, stable manure and cotton - seed till yV had secured exactly what 1. needed. I done so, and at last produced a. per feet compost for cotton. .

Here is my , fonnuLi: Take thir ty bushels of well-rotted stable manure or well-rotted organic matter, as leaves, muck, etc., and it about three inches thick upon a piece of ground so situated that water will not stand on it, but shed off in every direction. The thirty bushels will weigh about'pine hundred pounds; take two ban dred rounds of rood phosphate wiiichi-nstnift wr ton. de --NUMBER 11 livered, making the 200 ponnds cost '2,2a, and 100 kainit, which cost me by the ton $14, delivered, or 70 cents for 100 pounds, and mix the acid phosphate and kainit thoroughly, then scatter evenly on the manure. The next thirty bushels green cotton seed ami dis rebate evenly over the pile,' and wet them thoroughly; they will weigh nine hundred pounds, take again two hundred pounds acid phosphate and jfrvcrf hundred pouuds kainit, mix, and spread over the seed, begin on the mauure and keep on iu this way, building up your heap layer, by layer until i'ou get it as high a convenient, then cover with six inches of rich earth from fence corners, aud leave it least a week; when ready to haul to the field cut with a spade or pickaxe square down and mix as thoroughly ns possible. Now, we have thirty bushels of manure weighing nine hundred pouuds, and three hundred pounds chemi cals in the first layer, and "thirty bushels cotton seed, weigh. ng. nine hundred pounds, and three hun dred iKuuds ol chemicals in the second layer, and these two layers combined for the perfect compost, You iereeive that the weight is 2,400. Value at cost is: 30 bushelscottou seed, 12$ cts. .$3,75 400 pounds acid phosphate, . . 4,50 500 pounds kainit, . . ... 1,40 Stable manure nominal. ' Total, , ...... . . 9,63 Or for 2,400 pounds a total value 9,G5 This mixture makes practically a perfect manure for cotton and, a plendid application for corn. It restores to the soil everything tho cotton took from it, except silica, which is in the soil in inexhaustible quanity. So that when you, put in i larger quantity . of these ;than the cotton took out, .your soil is evi- lently richer. . Tve shown you the money profit in manure. I've shown you the added value it gives to land. There are many other id vantages. You make your, crop quicker and with less danger. I made last year, mark this, forty- seven bales ou sixty-five acres in three months and five days. It was planted June 5th and the catter piller finished it ou September 10th. I showed the agricultural society a stalk five feet hi eh with 120 Iwlls by actual count oh it. The seed from which this plant grew was planted just fifty nine days before Cotton grown this way can be pick ed with half the cost and time of ordinary cotton. Ou my cotton land this year I raised 100 bushels of oats to tho acre, and after cleaning oft tWtdubble I planted the cotton, one stalk of which 1 showed the convention." Due is not to drop tlie cotton seed in a continuous row, but simply to put a few seed in the hill where you want a plant.- By strewing the seed in a sprinkled row there is a great waste. A cotton seed is like an cee, when the chick is born there is nothing lelt but the shell. When the seed has sprouted there is nothing but the fertilizing jniwer shell left. The of tli is seed if lost. Worse than this. It draws from the soil for the elements that make it grow. It is left to deplete the soil in this way for two weeks at least, and then is choped down, (caving only, one out of twenty pLiuts to grow to l'rnitage. My plan is to plant four or five -seed in a hill. The hills to stand if four feet squares. .Of these I would let two plants to the hill grow to in fection. It takes from two to four bushels of to plant an acr$ in the old way Bv my iil-.vn a lieck to the! acre is euough, and the soil is not drawn, to support a multitude of surplus plants lor two or three weeks." Planting in four foot squares is better thsn the old way. i Cotton is a sun plant and needs room for its roots. When crampt-; ed to 12 or 15 inches it cannot at- j tain its icrfect growth. My aim is to' put the plants two together in four feet squares, and average 75 to 150 bolls to the stalk. This will give me a pound ( T seed cotton to the plant; or three bales to tlie acre." - 'I never touch it with a hoe. j The growth of cotton comes from ; the spreading filaments that reach out. from the root ' and it. If these are (lestrojed the growth stops till they are restored I am satisfied that three boeings lost me eighteen days of growth, or six days each. I run a shallow plow along the cotton rows, and never go deep enough to cut the roots. But there are more details in which men may differ. The main thing is the intei'sive system ofmanariug and the husbanding all the dropping and wastage of the farm for compost. lean take 100 acres of land in Georgia, and at a nominal cost can bring its pro duction from a sixth of a bale to three bales an acre in five years. Any man can do it." "My tenants are adopting the intensive plan, and are very much 'encouraged. Some : neighbors are using my formula. I have sent oat, I suppose, five hundred formulas for composting. The speech? I made before the agricultural . asso ciation created more excitement - than anvthinz for years.
