pany has been unable .to, give; immediate
transportation to a lot of soma eighty bags
intended for Rockingham, and it has there- n
lore laid-alongside the track for some days.
-These bags formerly contained California
wheat, and in their seams a few grains had
remained when lliey were emptied. 'After
being filled with the marl and exposed to
the aciion of the sun and moisture until
Thursday, it was; found that" these grains
had germinated and shot out stalks three
inches long. Perhaps this fact may he
some index of the value , of the marl as a
fertilizer. Tiiese bag were to , have gone

. We aie. in formed that some of the first
orders that have been, received, for. the marl
came from. Catawba county, a county situ
ated west oE the Centre of the State. The
people of the interior seem inclined to give
