The rctnrns are not all in, bat.U is erident that therfe was a considerable increase in the sale ovef the yeai before, in spite of the difficul ties? in transportation last spring, which prevented many fanners from getting all they wanted. The average cash price of the; simple acid phosphate was $30.80. The average cash price of the ammoniated phos phate was 0.30. i The average cash price of iall kindsjwas, therefore, $35.55 per ton.. Supposing cash had been paid for the 85, 000 tons fhe total amount paid by our farmers for fertilizers would have been three million twenty one thousand : seven hondred and fifty dollars. Since, however, about twite as much ammoniated goods were sold is acid phosphates, the more cor rect cash value of fertilizers bought by onr people would have been about $3, 200,000. fBtit how many farmers paid cash forf their fertilizers? As lax, as I can ascertain, ! hardly one of them. In the cotton country not One-twentieth, of thenulDeducting one-tenth; though,paid for in cash, we have J seventy-six thousand jmd five hundred tons paid for at the rate of 425 pounds of diddling cotton in Novem ber for I ammoniated phospates and ' 300 'pounds for acid phosphates. ; At 11 cents iper pound this is $33 for the acid phos ; nhates and $46,75 for the ammoniated phos- I phaies per ton.

Dabney, then it is high time that aj change was made in the farm ing in North Carolina. Intelligent farmers ought to be able to calculate : if the v can afford m - 3 ;t to raise cotton uy 'bnying fertilizers and supplies out of cropsjto y be grown and that are de pendent on seasons fet to come. 3Ir. Dabney says, and! says truly:- 'It Is not surprising that many go down under! this system mortgage first their crops and then , their .lands, until finally they become the vassals of. their merchants upon be land which they themselves, once owned. . It is rather to be wondered at that so many prosper under such a system. - - It - is a prosperous agriculture, indeed, that can sustain, such a drain." i i .' We hope ; that i henceforth North Carolina farmers 1 will give more at Mention to the most important busi ness f raising home supplies and of ' making as far as possible home ma nures. A better system in the farm yard i3 needed. A great deal more of manures can be made if proper attention is given to h the matter -than has been made. ; Every farmer : who is wise will raise what he con sumes. .

Then is no good reason why man" shonld not help support the Go vernment if he is allowed to dictate its policy as far as one vote can do so. In other words, every : elector should be a tax-payer.

HiH, two yoSng colored men, were close by and saw the money paid to Andrew Hill, and as soon as he came out of the office, foot of Chesnut street, they accosted him and asked if he wanted to know how to get ten bushels of meal by the expenditure of the small sum of fifty cents.
