is no mud anywhere.. .It is the larg
est city in the state, and a delightful
place to live in. . They certainly have
some good things here that we - can
not have in the up country. Fish
and oysters abound, and these peo
ple know how to cook them. This
place . is 'about 2 degrees north of
Atlanta,' but is" not so cold in winter,
and has the sea breeze all summer.
Large vessels and steamers come right
up to town, and one of them loaded
with ten thousand bales of cotton this
last season. This is said to be the
greatest number of bales ever put on
one ship. Small fruits and early
vegetables are cultivated all along the
railroad line in this region. I passed
acres of strawberries that looked
fresh and green - and were getting
ready to bfoom. Between the rows
there is a thick mat of pine straw,
which remains until the berry season
is over and then then it is taken away
so that the spaces between can be
plowed. It is all reduced to a science
here and is a very profitable business
near the railroad stations. But cot
ton is the main crop of the farmers,
and they are going to plant more
than ever so the guano men say.
The odor of it is in the air all along
the lines. Politics has subsided in
this section, and most of the people
seem to acquiesce in everything, that
Mr. Cleveland does or wants to do.
Well, it is a good idea to be recon
ciled to what you cannot help. As
I don't want any office myself I shall
make no . complaint about Gresham
or Hoke Smith or any other man,
for as Cabe says when he is indifferent
about anything : "It is all optionary
with me." The wheels of govern
ment will rolf on.
I am now at Goidsboro, another
beautiful and prosperous town. To
morrow I gfo to Raleigh to see the

I don't like to travel on Sunday
and so I started Saturday eve for
Wilmington where I was wanted for
Monday night. They told me in
A.I . . 1 T1 31 it
vuania inai 1 nau ueucr goovtr uie An
new road the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern that goes to Monroe and
that I would get there a little sooner
and have but one change so I board
ed the beautiful car at 5 o'clock and
intended to stay over -and go to
church and ruminate upon heavenly
things, including my wife and chil
dren, and then t ike the night train
for Wilmington. Aftt breakfast I
just accidentally asked the landlord
what time does the tram leave to
night fur Wilmington ?" He looked
surprised and said it don't leave at all
bunday night. The next tram leaves.
tomorrow night at 9 o'clock.
My heart 'sank down about an inch
and I felt risht sick as I ventured to
inquire if there was any other way
to get there, there was none he said
unless I went back on the Georgia,
Carolina and Northern twenty five
miles to Catawba junction and took
the three C's for. Canada junction and
wait there till midnight for the West
ern Carolina, so l hurried to the
depot and there I found out that
there was no Sunday train on the
Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago.
My heart sank dowu Another inch.
Of course 1 couldn't think hard of
the roads for keeping the Sabbath.
Fact is I didn't know who to blame,
but knew very well that Wilmington
would blame me if I dident get there.
After while the. conductor came
along and said my only chance was
to go back with him a hundred miles
to Clinton and take -the Newberry
road for Columbia, and there I would
strike a Wilmington train about 1 1
o'clock at night. But he wasn't right
sure that the Newberry train ran on
Sunday. So I. took my chance, all
forlorn, for it seemed - to me that I
had been doing wrong, and that , pro
vidence was against me. When a
man is away, off from home and does
ent know any bod v he gets awfully
onesome, and if anything goes wrong
he feels like he hasenta friend upon
earth, and maybe none in heaven. I
was nan sick, anynow ana the other
half wascjnt well. Negroes got on and
off at every station.' and 'they seemed
so happy thai 1 almost wished I was
one, but in course of time we reached
Clinton and ventured to ask a man
there if there was a train going to
Columbia that evening, and he said :
"Yes, going at 3 o'clock." I tell
you, I was relieved and happy. My
heart jumped up to its old place and I
was really thankful that one train
was going to run on Sunday. It
seemed to me that the good Lord
was on my side. We arrived there
at 6 o'clock, and I enjoyed my sup
per in the depot and then sat around
and nodded or walked about for five
long hours. Then I boarded a sleeper
for Wilmington waked up there in the
morning, all calm and serene. But
it was the most riding for the least
progress that I ever experienced, and
that Sunday was the longest Sunday.
I felt like swearing off fi om traveling
any more unless they would ; tag :ne
and send me by express. T don't
know hardly how to find the way
home, but I'll get there if f have to
walk. Home is the place for me. I
I am going to work in my garden

KXi EllIMKSTS IN COTTON.
Interesting Article n Experiments
Made Last Year on This Croji.
. Last week we gave some extracts
from this bulletin, covering several ex
periments in corn culture The bulle
tin also contains the results of fertil
izers and culture experiments in cot-1
ton. '.- .
Experiment No. 8, is a variety test
of twenty-five varities of cotton.
These were all fertilized and cultured
alike, and the table shows the yield
of seed cotton at each picking, the
total yield, the yield of lint per 100
pounds of seed cotton, and the total
yield of lint per acre, of each of the
several varities. .
The following is the total yield of
lint, per acre, the six best varities :
Bates's Big Boll, 605 pounds; Fruitt's
Improved, 523 ; Hunnicutt's Choice,
510; Mammoth Prolific, 4S9 ; Haw
kin's, 479; Smith's Standard, 475.
The average of the twenty-five vari
ties vvas 444 pounds of lint per acre.
-The following "notes" by the direc
tor are appended:
"It is but fair to say that Bate's
Big Boll has A slight advantage in
the fact that one of the rows planted
in this variety was outside and parellel
to an open roadway. " .
"No absolute conclusion can be
fairly drawn from this list except as
between extremes. A careful exami
nation of the table1 will enable any one
to determine with a degree of cer
tainty the relative earliness of the
several 1 varities, and the following
notes will be helpful:
'Varities. 1. Bate's Big Boll is
new variety (to triis station) and very
promising, giving the largest yield of
the twenty five, both is seed cotton
and percentage of lint. It has rather
large bolls, a symmetrical stalk and
fair staple.
"2d. Okra Leaf. Quite early and
suited "to the rich lowlands and prar
ries of high latitudes. It is deficient
in foilage.
' 4. Hunnicutt's Choice. An ex
cellent prolifice variety.
"5. Southern Hope. Good pro
ductive. '
"13. Tennessee Gold Dust; 14.
King's. Very early and moderately
productive. Thesd two are remark
ably, similar in every respect, and
half per acre, the distance should
be greater, probably 4x2.
3 The close planting results in a
larger early crop or larger yield at the
first and second pickings.
- Hence (a) in high latitudes cotton
should be planted closer than in low
latitudes, and (b) in an earlier variety,
and (e) that early planting, prompt
tinning to a. stand and frequent shal
low cultivation are important when
cotton is planted at wide distance in
rich or highly, manured land.
Experiment No. to. Increasing
amounts of fertilizers per acre. This
is an exceedingly interesting ex
periment. On one acre I fertilizers
were applied at increasing j amounts,
varying from 200 to 1 ,200 pounds
per acre were applied the previous
year, l he cost or tnre iertuizers was
$1.35 per hundred pounds. This ex
periment also involved the same two
I- - - T TT1
varities 01 cotton asm xno. 9. me
accompanying table presents the re
sults in several different aspects, but
we cannot here prinfe them all. The
director concludes as follows :
"1. j Successively increasing
amounts of fertilizers do not result in
the same ratio of increasing yields of
cotton. It follows that the larger the
amount fcf fertilizers the greater will
be the resulting cost .of the increase
per pound ; but at the same time
there will be left in the soil a corres
pondingly larger amount of fertilizer
for the use of the succeeding crop.
"2. The liberal use of judiciously
compounded fertilizers affords a
larger investment, upon which the
percentage of profit is to be based,
and therefore advisable.
. "3. The two experiments very
strongly prove the correctness of the
theory that 'high farming' only is
profitabe.
"Further Notes Two varities of
cotton were used in this experiment,
viz.; Truitt's, a large boiled, symme
trically Yormed and rather under me
"dium sized plants, and Pittman's,
a tall growing variety, with short lat
erals clustered medium size bolls. By
careful inpection of the first part of
the table it will be observed that the
Truitt's made the larger yield where
only 200 pounds of fertillizer were
used (see column 10 and n)
Where 400 pounds were applied Pitt
man's made the most. Where 600
pounds were applied, there was a
little difference in favor of the Pitt
man. But from this point as to the
amount of fertilizers was successively
increased to boo, 1,000 ana 1,200
pounds per acre, the yields of the
Truitt variety very much exceeded
those of the Pittman. This is re
markable and significant. It leads to
a suggestion that a certain type of
cotton Will' bear heavier manuring
than another type. It seems to indi
cate that a variety of cotton having
symmetrically shaped plants, of
rather under the medium size, and
productive . under high culture than
a variety of the clustured, small-boiled
typel We are not certain which
of these points of difference control,
but the fact remains as shown in this
experiment, that of the two varities
tested one was much more responsive,
to high manuring than the other.
Experiment No. 11, general fer
tilizer experiment on cotton. This
was quite an elaborate experiment.
The proportions of phosphate acid,
nitrogen and potash, in the fertilizer
formula applied, was varied in many
ways. We have not' space to give
all the results, but give the conclu
sions :'
1 . The phosphoric acid is the most
effective in icreasing the yield of cot
ton on the soil covered by the ex
periment.
2. That potash was not required
except when liberal amounts of the
other two elements were applied. The
behavior of potash, at least in the
form of! muriate, is uncertain and
even erratic, and it is not certain, on
the whole, that it increased the yield

their extreme earliness, yielding more

: Experiment Nos 9. Distance ex
periment in cotton, Truitt's improver
aud . Pittman's improved were in
competition. Each variety was
planted it distances of 4x1, 4x2, 4x3
and 4x4. The table shows the result
of each of the; four pickings and the
total yield of each Variety and is very
itstructive. . 1 he 4x1 gave the largest
yield of each variety, on the very in
dentical land -the previous year the
4x2 plots gave the largest yield. The
following are. the conclusions of the
director : " ; ,
1. On land's capable of making
one bale of cotton to the acre the
plants should be about 4x1 feet.
2. One land capable of a larger
yield than one bale say one and a
3. IVifrogen is very effective, in
medium quantities, say two rations in,
combination with three rations of
superphosphate.
4. Cotton seed meal is equally as
affective as nitrate of soda, in the
combinations of the other elements, as
a nitrogenous food for cotton.
5. The most effective combination
of the three ingredients employee! in
this experiment on this soil was t"
6S pounds of superphosphate
equals phosphoric acid, 66 pounds.
78 pounds muriate of potash equals
potash 39 pounds.
13c? pounds nitrate of soda equals
nitrogen,' .20 pounds.
In view of the doubt already ex
pressed of the effectiveness of muriate
was the ! of potash it would probably be ad
visable to change the form of potash
and reduce theamount.say as follows:
500 pounds of superphosphate
equals phosphoric acid, 70 pounds.
40 pounds of muriate of potash, or
160 pounds of kainit equals potash,
20 pounds.
130 pounds of nitrate soda, or 268
pounds of cotton seed meal equals ni
trogen, 20 pounds.
The above would be furnished by
a coaimercial fertilizer which would
analyze : -
Phosphoric acid ..... 10.00 per cent.
Nitrogen. 3.00 per cent.
Potash. , .3.00 per cent.
And it would require 700 pounds
of such a fertilizer per acre to produce
the same increase on si.nilar sou to 1
that of the experiment under con-j
sideration. In other words, 700
pounds of fertilizer,' analyzing as the
above, may be reasonably expected
to increase the yield of land in fairly
good condition by 1,000 pounds.
Such an amount of fertilizer would
cost $8 or $9, and the increased yield
of cotton would, therefore, cost about

citing debate of the session in the
House on the bilf against the To-
bacDo Trust, intrduced by Watson of
Forsyth. . A big lobby is here fight
ing the bill. The latter was reported
by the committee without prejudice.
Watson made a powerful speech in
support of the bill, in which he de
nouced the trust in vitriolic language,
and also paid his respects to the
lobbyists.
WOULD BUILD UP VIRGINIA MARKETS
In the course of the speeches of
the bill's opponents it was repeatedly
asserted that its passage would build
up Virginia markets and ruin those
of this State. On the other hand, it
was positively asserted that the op
position to . the bill was all engineered
by the American Tobacco Company.
The bill passed a third reading by
56 to 46.

It provides that no person shall,
after May 1st, operate any leaf-tobacco
warehouse without obtaining
an annual license. Any combination

or which shall tend to suppress bid

market, or - to cause sales at less
prices than would otherwise be com
manded, is declared against public
policy, fraudulent, and unlawful. No
corporation as above described shall
bid for leaf tobacco at any public sale J
or any warehouse under penalty of
not less than $10 nor more than
$5,000 fine, or imprisonment for not
less than one nor more than three,
years, each day's violation of the act
constituting a separate offence.
CONSPIRACY
Any combination of the kind de

engage in such business all
their preperty is to be attached and
seized by the Sheriff.
WILL ASK FOR DISBANDMENT.
The State troops are gready dis
turbed by a bill which has passed the
House reducing the appropriation
lor the State Guard to only $8,000
annually. Today, as the news spread
this action also caused quite a stir
among the general public, who
know the necessity for the force and
for even more liberal appropriations.
It is openly stated that the force will
ask for disbandment if the bill be
comes a law. Thus what the Popu
lists desire, as they stated in the cam
paign, would come to pass. Then
speakers attacked the State Guard
on all occasions, and so did some , of
the Republican speakers. Eastern

The will of the late Gen. G. T.
Beauregard was probated ' today.
His estate, with the exception of a few
bequests, is left to his children. To
the soldiers he only gives $500. To
the city of Charleston, S. C, the
general gives a sword which was
presented to him by some ladies
of New Orleans in 186 1 as'a token
of honor for his services in capturing
Fort Sumter. To the stae of .Louisi
ana he bequeathes a life-size protrait
of himself painted by Mr. Genin, the
artist, of New Orleans, and by him
presented to Gen. Beauregard.
After disposing of the property the
testator instructs his executors to
have his body cremated, provided,
however, that there be a crematory
in successful operation in or near New
Orleans at the time of his death.
The General gave as a reason for
wanting his body cremated he con
sidered cremation better for the'sani
tary condition of such a climate as
Louisiana han the present mode of
burial. As there is no crematory
anywhere near this request was con
sidered yoid.

The reception tendered by Vice
President and Mrs. Morton to Vice -President
elect and Mrs. Stevenson
at -their residence on Scott Circle,
marked another deviation by Mr.
Morton from traditions surrounding
his position. It was an unpreceden
ted thing for an outgoing Vice Presi
dent to bestow any recognition, offi
cial or social, upon his successor, the
exchange of such compliments hav
ing heretofore been confined to the
occupants of the presidential chair,
but when cards were issued giving
notification of the vice presidents in
tention thus to honor his successor
it was felt to be gracious and proper
courtesy. But the inspiration of the
affair was more than purely official.
Mr. Morton has served in the
house of representatives of the forty
sixth congress with Stevenson; and
ever since there had existed between
them a mutual esteem and regard.
In anticipation of the event Mr,
Morton's elegant mansion had been
decorated with palms, ferns, foliage
plants and cut flowers. Mr. and Mrs.
Morton received their guests in the
doorway, separating the parlor from
corridor, out of which there is excess
lo the erand staircase and which
occupies the centre of the west end of
the house. At their side stood Mr.
and Mrs. Stevenson, to whom the
passing throng were introduced in
turn by the host. It was a disting
ushed and representative gathering
that greeted the new official and his
wife. The invitations numbered 600
and but few of the recipients failed to
respond in person, but there was no
..... j crush to interfere with the full enjoy-

Few physicians ever practiced so
many years as Pond's Extract has,
nearly half a century ; still fewer can
attain the universal success in treat- :
ment which that popular family re
medy has, and where the physician
prescribes for individuals Pond's Ex
tract is used by grateful millions.
Another advantage of the remedy is.
that, though made perfect by nearly
fifty years of experience, it still pos
sesses the vigor of youth.
Hood's Sarsaparilla positively cures
even when all others fail. It has a
record Jof success unequalled by
any other medicine.
