The attention of our legislators is called to this fact, and we urge on them now to carefully scrutinize every-.bilU nowever trivial it may seem; ana ascertain what its effect mav be. We mentioned last week that the House of Representatives had defeated hi one day1 three .important bills," and Mw wepafe pleased to note that the same body in one day last week pass ed three important bills. . The three bills passed by the House last Wednesday were a bill for a constitutional convention, a bill to lend state aid for road im provement and a bill to aid ten ants in owning their homes Sev eral times has Representative Stubbs introduced a bill into pre vious legislatures for holding a convention to amend our stare constitution, and heretofore his bills have been defeated by large majorities, but this time his bill was passed by the House by an almost unanimous vote. If it passes the Senate, which is doubtful, the people will be al lowed at the next election to vote for or against holding a conven tion for the purpose of amend ing our state constitution. The good roads bill, which the nouse has passed, provides for the state lending rnoney without any risk to any county that mav :u j. i . . . . wisn io Dorrow it ior tne purpose of making permanent road im provement. This bill provides for the state issuing bonds to the amount of $400,000 every year for forty-one years, the said bonds to draw only four percent interest, and the counties, town ships ahd: road districts will be permitted to borrow this money by issuing for it bonds bearing five per cent interest. Thus the state really will not be appropri ating anything, for the differ ence in the'.interest will pay the state bonds. While it is true that $400,000 will not build very many roads in a year throughout the state, .yet it will nelp that much and encourage permanent road building all over the state. The largest delegation that has been to Raleigh at this session of the legislature was on last Friday when the Senate and House committees held a joint meeting to hear the discussion on the bill to create a new coun ty, to be named Jarvis, out of parts of Harnett, Sampson and Johnson with Dunn to be the county seat. Both sides were very much interested and made every effort for success. After a protracted and somewhat ani mated discussion it- was decided w icuw i mc um umavorauiv. which means its defeat. While no doubt all North Carolinians would be pleased to have the memory of Gov. Jarvis honored as much as possible, yet it should pot be done by dismembering any of our present counties. The committee also decided to report unfavorably che bill to take three townships from Madi son county and attach them to Buncombe. This action of the committee is to be commended, although a large number of the most prominent Democrats of Buncombe and Madison were in favor, of the bill and a large ma jority of the committee were Democrats, yet the latter were not willing to dismember a coun ty for apparently political and partisan purposes. It is not probable that this legislature will make any changes in the present boundaries of any of the counties. There will be some increase made in the pensions to Confed erate soldiers, but not as much as they had hoped for and de-pene. IT one that attended this sale was fully satisfied with the many X bargains which we gave them. Come on to this big sale with the S. BERMAN'S DEPARTMENT STORE CHAPEL. HILL. N.

While the Cubans seem to be mure capable of self-government than the Mexicans, yet they require the oversight of our gov ernment to preserve peace in that island. The large city of Santi ago was taken possession of by the insurgents and at one time it seemed that it would ne neces sary for our government to in tervene, as it has the .right to do under the Piatt amendment in our treaty with Cuba. 1 The Senate of the United States seems anxious to stop the importation of whiskey into those states that have prohibited the manufacture and sal - of whiskey therein. Last week the Senate voted to make it a criminal of fense to ship liquor iptb states which prohibit its manufacture and sale. At the same time the Senate also voted to debar from the mails letters, postcards, cir culars, newspapers and other publications containing liquor advertising in states having laws against such advertising. If the House of Representa tives should vote for these two measures passed by the Senate it will enable the states which have prohibition laws better op portunity of enforcing them. The treatment of the convicts at the state farm is a disgrace to all persons having any control of them, and is shocking to human ity. This is fully proved bv the evidence before the committee appointed by the legislature to investigate the charges of cruel ty and ill treatment. It is fully proved that they are crowded in their sleeping quarters in such a condition that their health must be seriously affected. When the state imprisons a man for crime it should not mean that he is to be kept in so unsanitary a condi tion as to breed disease. Com mon humanity demands that they be treated like human be ings, and yet so many persons in charge of convicts seem to think that a convict has no rights what soever that they should respect. This legislature should not ad journ until proper ways and means are provided for wiping out this foul blot on the fair name of our good old state, and for se curing more humane treatment of all the convicts, those in the various county convict camps as well as those on the state f arm, .

The Last of a Series of Six Articles. A Carxaer that we used to know quite well always put on his garden plot a sack of guano and three or four loads of stable and other 'kinds of barn yard jtuauure. His garden covered about one-fifth of an acre, and was good land to begin with.. In fact, he had selected a good, rich spot of ground for his garden. . The fertilizer he applied amounted to a thousand pounds per acre and the barnyard manure to about seven or eight tons! Of course, he grew a good garden, as most people do, and yet he often wondered why his garden was so much better than other parts of his farm. He was a good farmer and made plenty of everything, and to spare. He knew that he made liberal applications of fertilizers and manures to his garden, but was never quite willing to acknowledge that these made all the difference in the yields. . Qug gardens are usually the richest spots on the farm, and are so only be cause we make them so by fertilization and cultivation. Every acre in the average farm could be made just as rich if we tried to make it so. We do not consider sufficiently the factors which make fertile land. We do not strive to do intensive fanning, bat rather make it as extensive as our acres will allow.. When .we wish to make an additional bale of cotton, or bushel of corja, we take in more land instead of enriching what is already under cultiva tion. ' . . Dr. & H. Bailey has given in his book, "The Principles ef Vegetable Garden ing," seme valuable suggestions on the use of commercial fertilizers. "The kind and amount of fertilizers," he says, "are to be determined by several circumstances: (1) The earliness or quickness with which the crop is to be obtained; 2) the. intensity of the operations to which the man is committed; (3& the character of the land as regards tilth and texture; (4) the character of the and as regards richness in plant food; (5) the kind or species of crops to be raised." Whatever the condition of the land or the nature of the crop, it must be fertilized if the gardener meets with success. Competition in the truck-growing business can be met in no other way than by liberally fertiliz ing the ground on whtch the crops grow. Dr. Bailey has wisely said that fertilizers must be applied in excess of the actual needs of the plants. It is impossible -to distribute a very small quantity of fertilizers over a large area'. Vegetables are such rapid growing plants that one need not fear that much of the fertilizer will leach out through the soil on account of rain. .If it is applied close to or in the drill row. all of It should be saved. The plants will absorb it before it gets away. The formula generally recommend d consists of a complete fertilizer, though the acid phosphate and nitrogen should coma from different sources, even in the same fertilizer applied at any given time. The mixture for gardens should be composed of as many kinds of ingredients as possible, carrying the three fundamental elepents of plant f oo d pot a s h, - nitrogen 'and phosphoric add. voornees recommends neavy applications of such mixtures to the com mercial gardens and to .truck patches. He says 1,000 to 5,000 pounds per acre not help in the least.

The most common of these are cheese, tea and boiled milk On the other hand raw fruits, especially apples and bananas, turnips ; less than that to peas and beans. With any amount an after applica tion has-been found profitable. This la sometimes called the second applica tion, which is not generally a complete fertilizer, but is composed of nitrogen, or one of the other elements alone. The second application of fertilizers may be composed of ammonia and add, or other formula to suit the immediate crop. Garden vegetables need large applications of fertilizer because any check in their growth produces inferiority In quality. It is said by Dr. Sailey that any delay in the growth of lettuce or radishes will generally cause a- pungent flavor or sharp taste that is undesir- ; able, it cut down the market value. The way to remove any cause for this Is to fertilize well and properly and then cultivate. The turnip is made very inferior when there is a check in growth. The vegetables that are thus stunt ed seem to revert to the original type from which they were derived, especial ly with regard to taste, and hence should be carefully looked after in regard ! to fertilization' : and cultivation. Fertilizers shosld be applied to the vege table garden as early after the spring breaking as possible, as the soil ought to be saturated with rich plant food before the plants begin to grow very much. Then they will grow much more rapidly and make far better vege tables. . The second application should be made about the time the youn-r "plants are half grown. This is as definite as a statement regarding this practice -can be made. For aU prize crops, a third and fourth application is made, end with telling effects. No one can deny that the vegetable garden Is the one place in which large dividends can be made from the use of com mercial fertilizers. - American manufacturers are Notice is hereby given of the seizure QSing more cotton than ever be- of the foil- wing property for the vl..la tfore in the COUntrv's historv. tion of Section 240 of t'-e.
