A good deal has been said in our
columns lately about the intensive
system of 'farming pursued by Mr.
Farish Furman, pi Georgia, and in
a trip to Cabarrus county the first
part of this week, this writer saw a
practical demonstration of its won
derful results. Mr Erwin Harris, a
young farmer of Poplar Tent became
interested in the accounts of IJur
man s intensive system and concluded
to try it He bclected an acre of
ground which he planted in cotton
after Furman's plan. He put on this
acre of ground 1,200 pounds of com.
post. The early season was bad aud
tbeootton did not get a good stand,
but this fact to the contrary not
withstanding, he will make fully three
balsa from this one acre. The cotton
is neck high to a man and there are
from SO to 75 boils to the stslk Mr.
Harris never hoed the eottoo, but
ran ' a plough throafih it once or
twice. It required little or no
labor to cultivate it He ia ri)
well pleased with the
result that next Year he will, he sava.
cultivate as much land as bis means
will allow under this intensive bvr

slender and her face looks thin and
delicate. She wore a handsome black
silk dress and a white chip bat with
trimmings of crushed strawberries
and an oetrioh plume. A heavy veil
covered her face.
In answer to the justices question,
Mrs. Davis said that she was twenty
nine years old, and that she was born
and had always lived in Albany. Jus

Mrs. Davis tried to secure was valued
at $100, Stephen H. Parsone, one
of the prisoner's brother's-in-la w, said
to a reporter that there could be no
motive for Mrs. Davis to resort to
such methods of wearing apparel, as

An interesting story is coiner the
rounds here of how a fashtonable
lady and her two, if possible, more
fashionable daughters, in traveling
from New York to New Port on the
Fall River Line, only a short time
ago, were very, much taken up with
a stylishly dressed and athletic young
Englishman. He treated the party
with the most studied politeness, and
extended the ordinary courtesies of a
well-bred traveller in such an accom
plished manner that the ladies were
quite fascinated with him. They
casually inquired if he knew .Lord
"Blank," earl "Ditto," and Duke "So
and-So, of .England, and were told
by the stranger that he enjoyed the
honor of the distinguished noblemen's
acquaintance, and be furthermore
proved it quite conclusively by rela
ting several anecdotes of each which
were satisfactory to the ladies' mind a
Both at once at once jumped to
the conclusion that they had discov
ered some distinguished gentleman
of noble family traveling "incog and
invited him to call upon them ' at
their cottage. ' The oung fellow
thanked them for their courtesy, and
in tne landing at Newport they los
sight of him. A few days later while
out for a drive with a young friend,
the parry saw the stranger and bowed
to mm. Their escort was amazed and
inquired : "Do you know who you
are recognizing !" The ladies con
fessed that they did not nd imagine
tueir surprise wnen told that , the
handsome Englishman was no more
nor loss than Charles : Mitchell, the
prize fighter. . A short time after
Mr. MUchell called at the 4 cottage
and explained who and what he was,
saying, ,f I am a gentleman, but I am
not in? what you call society.. My
father! ia an English clergyman, in
good standing; and his name is af itch-

began with prayer by Rev. Edward

Little, in a few words, presented as
presiding officer his excellency Gov
ernor UUtler,- rho - dehvered "The
opening address. This was follow
ed by speeches from Secretary Chan
dler, Judge Symmesof Denver, Gov-
ernor Jarvis of North Carolina, Julia
Ward Howe and others, and by Geru-
iT&ncis A. Walker. I
Governor, Jarvis, in responding for
the South to Governor Butler's wel
come, said: .."He came not to 'shake
hands over the bloody chasm,' but to
clasp hands with New England over
tne growing prosperity of a united
people, -i The differences Iwhich led
to the war had been settled. When
the Southern people came back into
the Union they come pledged to loy-,
alty, but under the ' reconstruction
policy adopted byj Congress, they
found their State and county gov
ernments in tne nands oi persons
who did not serve the interests of
the sections in which they lived.
This was what made the South solid,
not hatred of the government, but a
desire for wise laws justly adminis
tered. 1 The development of the
South had been confined mostly to
the past ten years. In North Caro-
Tina over twenty new, coi ton r facto
ries had been arected, ani1 the facr
tones in wobd and iron were im-?
proving, and all over North Carolina
to-day there was a spirit of content
ment. Our business and fpublic in
terests, he saioV require that th'ere
shall be no more harsh speak ingxn
one section by the other. I bid you
to join me in this , sentiment : ''Our
United Country to theef we cling."
Mayor Palmer was the last speak
er, and at tne close: of his remarks,
the Governor formally declared the

when it was a great ahd glorious
thing to be a Democrat and I have
always had a great respect for that
patty. ; I agree with that party in
fayoring a tariff ? for revenue only,
and I approved. Gov- Vance's speech"
in the Senate in which he labored to
reduce the present tariff' which is so-'
oppressive to the Southern people;
aftd if I had publicly said this in a lit
tle' card, I would have been' denoun-
ced as a renegade from the Republi, r
can party for, so doing. ! ,

sectional since' I860, and it in now;
fectionaL in , that it does everything
for the: North and by ( comparison,,
scarcely anvthinsr'for th'e Smith Tf.
