As to complaint of stopping trans portation across Cape Fear river at Clarendon bridge against County Com missioners. I bee to state ah nnn mom- per of the Board,' without cowroltlng witu any other member, that I knew nothing of the transportation being stopped until Tuesday (the 9th), when our Board met to receive bids for new bridge, etc, The' .lev the fllfirendnn hrld n burned, I received a wire messago notifying me of same. ,1. .boarded the first train and went to FayettevlUe to belp arrange for. Immediate transpor tation. There had already been a com mittee of the citizens of FayettevlUe to arrange Immediate transportation, and to confer with the County Commls- .(oners, their plans, etc. the committee reported that they had . employed the steamer Lyon for three days. Had also arranged for a flat to be built at once, which would take six two-horse teams across the river at a time, and .that said , flat would, be ready for use - by Monday, Feb. 8), Said committee asked us to pay half the expenses and town pledg ed to pay the other half. ' Our-Board readily accepted their proposition, and voted ita$thanks to this - committee for Interest they, had taken in the matter. Said committee further stat ed that the flat would be ready by Monday. Mr. Blount, ' one of the committee, said it would be ready If be and J. A. Oatee had to help build it - . I, tor one, believed our Board would have voted to, continue the use of the Lyon- until the flat could have been asked It of our Board. Now, as to launched, had the CltlzensCommlttee any - action the Board baa taken to discontinue transportation, or being asked to continue transportation, I know nothing of it, save the crltl cisma I have seen In the paper. . Since I have been a citizen of Cum berland I have had a deep interest In in the grand old county, and have always felt proud of her, especially because the town and county were so closely allied to each, other. - More es pecially since I have been a member of the Board have I bad a deeper in terest in ber- well fare, and watched with pride 'every movement of our capital city. , I always have and ever will be ready to lend a helping hand to aid in her prosperity. ! ; ? 1 have written this in reply to yours of the 10th in the Observer.

The writer went to the public meeting held In the City of FayettevlUe. he did not see any of your correspondents there nd when he asked about -the "ways and means" a gentleman got up and said that If the steamer was engaged tor Friday and Saturday that he and another gentleman would guarantee that the flat would be running Mon day morning The meeting seemed to be thoroughly satisfied and then ad journed. The commissioners agreed to pay half the expense incurred in establishing .the terry and then to operate the same until the bridge was completed but was then to own the flat Who complained that the steam er did not run Sunday so that some oI tne chm-dagolng people ot the East Commissioners are attacked as they are they have been besprinkled with river mud all the week in tneir at- temot to discharge their- duties, and the question must sOggest itself, to the community as they get little' or no pay for it why do they act I'll tell you why; The mere fact that a certain crowd wish to put others in their places has alarmed them tor they cer tainly feel that they are working for the counties good as they see it The mere faot of a contract being given by them for a 788 foot steel Bridge has-not awakened the "Green eyed monster" in their souls .

It whaton The Best Fertilizers for Corn That the yield of corn from the average farm can be greatly In . creased by intelligent and liberal fertilization has been repeatedly demonstrated. Large crops of good corn result from preparing tlx land well, using the right kind and quantity of fertilizer, good teed : and proper cultivation. Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers will greatly " Increase your yield per acre " of corn or any other crop. , In some cases remarkable results have been obtained. t' ' Mr, C. W. Caruthers of Sumpter County, Fla., writes: "Words cannot express the value of your fertilizer. It is really so far ahead ." of other companies' goods, that it would not pay anyone to use other , brands, were they given free and put in the field. 1 can prove what I say to be a fact. I made a test on five acres. I used on one half the land your fertilizer and on the other half another company's fertil- izer, same grade; the land received the same cultivation every time. , i ktp a correct account of th amount cf money I got off tack half ; and I got $300 more from the land oh which I used Virginia-Carolina Fertiliser than I did off the other half. I got four timet at much ' torn from the land on which I used your fertiliser."
