The Opinion of The Caucasian and
the Opinion of others which we
Can Endorse on the Yarious
Topics of the Day.
The recent nejrro national con
vention, in its mmifetto issued
to the public, complains that
that the race does not get fair
treatment i.i the courts, in poli
tics nor in the educational line.
They claim that the labor sys
tem is unjust, that they are sub
ject to taxation without repre
sentation. They petition Con
gress to pass the Illair Bill, to
put negroes (we suppose an
equal number with whites) on
the juries, to prohibit separate
railroad cars for whites and
blacks and to defeat the Butler
n?gro wholesale Emancipation
Bill, ifce. There arere some
Southern negroes present who
disapproved the statements in
the manifesto and tried to yet
the floor to point out untrue
statement" in it, out tna preju
diced and blind leaders would
not hear them.
Their claim of being subject
ed to taxation without repre
sentation is simply rediculous,
and as to their not getting their
shire of the school fund, shows
their utter disregard for the
irutn. in tins county (ana we
suppose it will fairly represent
the condition . in the whole
South) the school tax is about
fto,uuu. iegro property pays
about $70 of this amount, yet
the negro schools are larger
than the whites. Tbe fact is,
the negro, if that convention
represents him, does not know
what lie wants. We guess
that he needs a master.
A daily half hour spent in
reading on any ona subject will
iii a year acquire a most satis-
actory amount of information,
and will lay the foundation for
borough mental cultur, if you
will give all your thougnt and
attention undivided, even to this
short time. You may some
times vary this exercise by
spending a half hour in trying
to write down clearly, and in as
few words as possible, what yu
have read during the week.
These two things, reading with
care and tiie concentration oi
your mind, and writing with
conciseness and clearness, will
be worth more than weeks of
desultory and inattentive read-
g, and pages of diffuse and
vague writing.
Use your half houra and the
days, yes, the years, will soon
show the profit from them. M.
S., in Home Farmer.
The San ford Express says:
"Without Col. Polk the Alli
ance could not be what it is. He
is the ablest oganizer and one
of the mosi, magnetic orators in

ate."
This is news to us. The Vlli
ance couia not be wnat it is
without Col. Polk, indeed?
Brother, say that Col. Polk
could not be who he is without
the Alliance. There is no man
in the whole organization so
greatly indebted to it
The Alliance could be what it
is with any dozen men connect
ed with the organization were in
their graves. Th organization
was not called into being at the
will of any man or set of men.
It is an organization of principle
and not of men.
Foolish men are more apt to
consider what they have lost
than what they possess; and to
fix their eyes upon those whp
are richer than themselves,
rather than on those who are
under greater difficulties. Jo

FOR
The following example will
serve to show in a degree how
much our various tables of
weights and measures are based
upon the numbers 6 and 10 and
their multiplies and factors. It
is said that the old Babylonians
used to count bysixes just as we
now count by tens. Their's is
called the sextal system ; ours
tbe decimal. Let us in this
connection remember that two
sixes make a dozen and that two
tens make a score. Also that
10x12120. Now let us com
pare the following measures and
weights Linear, Circular and
Time among the measures; and
Troy or Apothecary among the
weights; also the table for coun
ting English money, not to men
tion that for Federal money
which is so plainly based on the
decimal system:
One day86,400 seconds, one
mile 63,360 inches.
One pound Troy (or Apothe
cary) 5,760 grains.
5,760 63,36011
5,760 86,40015
We see that the number of
giains in a pound is contained
an exact number of times (11) in
the number of inches in a, mile,
63,360, and also an exact number
of times (15) in the number of
seconds in a day, 86,400;
One Pound960 farthings and
one Circle36 degrees. Upon
examination we find that 120
will devide each of the follow
ing numbers exactly 86,400,
63,360, 6,760, 960 and 360.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE.
A coil of wire was unwound
irom a reel at the rate or an
inch per second. Each inch
weighed a grain and cost a far
tuing. The reel r vol ye d on its
axis at 'the rate of one degree
circular measure every second
It took twenty-four hours to un
wind all the wire.
Solve the following questions
1. How inanj pounds Troy
did the wire weigh?
2. How many pounds sterling
aid the wire cost ?
3. What part of the whole
would a mile of wire be ?
4. How much would a mile of
wire weigh ?
5. How much would the same
cost in pounds steiling ?
6. How much would a pound
Troy cost in pounds steriing ?
7. How many revolutions
would the reel make in twenty-
four hours ?
8. How many revolutions in
turning off one mile of wire?
9. How many in turning off
one pound Troy ?
10. How many in turning off
wire to the value of one pound
sterling ?

A
CALL FOR THE ANNUAL MEET
ING WK1N TO BE MALE.
One year ago last Monday,
February 17th, the Truckers in
and around Clinton organized
the Sampson Truckers' Associa
tion. On March, the 12th, this
Association issued a call for a
State Truckers' Association to
meet the 4th and 5th of April.
On the day appointed the Asso
ciation was organized in the
townjof Clinton, with delegates
from Faison, Mount Olive, New
Berne, Magnolia, "Warsaw, Fay-
etteyille Wilmington and Clin
ton. The meeting was a very
interesting, we hope, and profit
able one. The members present
were much pleased with the be
ginning.
It would seem from the fol
lowing articles that the Star is
not aware of the existe&ce of
the association :
The A tlanta Constitution says
the truck raisers of Georgia
have taken the initiatory steps
towards the organization of a
stock company with headquar
ters at Macon, and branches in
all the truck growing counties
of the State, the object of which
is to keep an eye on tho truck
market, arrange for shipping
and marketing .the crop, so as to
prevent gluts by which the pro
fits of the truck men are destroy
ed. They are to keep truck
raisers posted in tne acreage,
supply, demand, &c, and thus
enable them to work intelligent
ly and profitably. This is a
good idea, and we note it be
cause something similar might
be done to advantage by the
truck raisers of this State. Wil.
Star, Feb. 6th.
The truckers of Georgia have
urgaiiizeu a juiut sluujs. cuuipan
i .1 -i xl . "
to enable them to conduct their
business to better advantage, to
which we called attention yes
terday and suggested that per
haps the truck raisers of North
Carolina might advance their
interests by a similar organiza
tion. This suggests another
idea, and that is the organiza
tion of companies among truck
ers and fruit-growers, to operate
canneries and thus save most of
the fruit and vegetables which
it will not pay to ship when
prices go down, lne canning
industry is carried on extensive
ly, in several of the Northern
and Western States, and a be
gin ning has been made in the
South, but only a beginning as
yet. With a sufficient number
of canneries the trucker and
fruit-grower would be compara
tively independent, for then he
would not be compelled to take
any price offered when the mar
ket was full, or let his products
rot. In providing a way to save
what he raises he also provides
a way to ensure better prices
for it. Wil. Star, Feb. 7th.
However, we are glad to see
the articles for they serve to
call attention to the necessity of
the organization which is al
ready in existence. We under
stand that the executive com
mittee will soou issue a call fcr
the Second Annual Meeting of
the North Carolina Truckers'
Association. Hope that the
Star will be represented at the
next meeting. .
HOW IS IT ?
The following is taken from
the Durhaui Sun, and is such a
poser that we cannot refrain
from giving our readers the ben
efit of it: Jim's father was
John's son ; and John's mother
was John's daughter, and Jin
and John were no kin. Jim was
John's grandfather, and John's
Jim's grandfather, and Jim and
were no kin. This is said to be
the 2ctual relationship of a fam
ily in Durham county.
The "Orton" is an excellcn
hotel large, handsome, wel
conducted,with everything first

of a luxurious home. Like very
many of the best hotels, its ele
vator obyiates the objection
which many have tc taking
rooms on the upper floors. We
have to discount stairs and go
skyward on the "machine." As
we watch the operations this
query arises: "Why is the ele
vator like Jacob's ladder ? Is it
not because so many angels as

All the family at our houe

is a girl. Father he was a toy,
and my brother they are all
bovs, I am a boy, and mother,
sna is the girl sometime?; I wish
one of the Inrys had been a girl
so I could find out more about
all the girls in tha neighbor
hood, who of them were smart
and had f good disposition, how
many pleet9 they had in their
dress, what sort of feathers they
had In their hats and which
ones dipped snuff. I know she
i would -fell mo sure if she want
ed me to do something or go
somewhere with her, for they
get powerful confidential when
they want to keep somethings
hid from you, or have some pu -pose
in vievr. If I had a si.' ter
1 sould be mighty good to her.
I would not tell her anything
on the other boys, for she would
be certain to ask me how I
found i out, and the Bible does
not say anything about getting
married in Leaven. A bad boy
and a good girl make a good
match. He has got a plenty of
steam, has caught on to all your
sharp tricks and all she has got
to do is to hold him on the track
and he will do his own running.
A pretty live girl and a goodie
boy, and she will spring woman's
rights on you every fire. Then
ho gets discouraged and has not
vim and energy enough to blow
his breath hard enough to keep
the spiders from building cob
webs aver his mouth. And she,
Lord have mercy, is worse than
a pepper farm, just touch her
and she will fire a whole com
munity. Every 1 wyer and doc
tor can see her further than the'
old maid did the needle in the
gate-post, when she had stuck
it in there the day before, and
told her inaii to go and bring
it when she saw her sweetheart
coming. Her eyesight was pow
erful. And when the sheriff or
constable goes to collect the
taxes he looks like a hound dog
ihe first time he goes to town.
Yes, girls, you had better let

if you
don't want to break down the
sanctity of the law that is
thrown around you for your pro-
ecticn and change . the desent
of property.
Marry some good, honest iel-

I have been wo: king around

fcouth or ours we do not appre
ciate the value, and I am con
vinced one girl is enough about
a premises. They can teil you
more things in a single breath
han you can do in a week:
'You have not got that row

ing, some black buttons and a

don't forget No. 60," and you
hear 60 until you get out of the
gate clear down town. You have
thought of sixty sj much you
forget the color and everything
else, but to stay down town till
plum dark.
As I was coming - down the
street the other day I met quite
a little boy in a whole heap of
trouble. He had a paper sack
full of rice and the bottom of
the sack was not pasted good.
It began to leak, and the more
it leaked the tighter he would
squeeze it, and the harder he
mashed the more it leaked. He
struck a trot. The more he
would jolt the faster it would
run out. He began to cry, run
and squeeze the bag ; and by
the time he got to the gate, he
did not have any rice in hisbair,
hu. a nice streak behind him.
He knew something was wrong,
but he did noi know how to
manage it. I thought that that's
exactly the way the Republican
party was by the negro. They
had him in their arms but thev

sinra at tiie farm of Mr. Rich
... .a
ard Holmes, known as the "Dr.
Bunting Plao-.'' We were sur
prisea to fee ins nem green
with vegetation, as if it were
early June. He has about four
acres of garden peas (lor the
Northern market) from eight to
twelve inches high. He also
has a large field of rye on which
his lambs and other stock were
teeaing and snorting, it was
leally invigorating it wouh
have cured a man of the "blues'
to have seen those green fields
in this, the bleakest part of the
year. He will plant another
another crop on this land after
tbe peas are off. Mr. Holmes
tells u? that last year, when he
took charge of the place, that it
was "run dowr," and that the
best of the land had not, the
year before, made five bushels
of corn to tho acre. He pro
ceeded to manure, aa far as he
could, by putting twenty-five
bushels of cotton seed and one
hundred and fifty bushels of sta
ble manure, composted, to the
acre, and what he could not ma
nure that well he would not
"tend." By stable manure he
does not mean lot manure, which
is often almost worthless, but
manure made from cows, horses,
sheep, goats and hogs kept in
novernt
I stables, houses and pens,
He would not take 200 to-day
for the manure in his stables,
and it is, we believe, worth more
than the amount of commercial
fertilizer you could buy for $500.
In spite of a bad crop year he
increased the yield of that same
land five fold last vear. This
year, with ordinary luck, he
hopes to make 50 per acre on
his peas, and after that crop is
off to then make a bale of cot
to the acre or fr.un lorty to fifty
barrels of com.

First break the land "flush,"
then run the rows two feet ten
inches apart on ordinary land,
and this is wide enough for al
most any of our land. Then
put in plenty of good compost,
as it does not pay to plant cot
ton and work it without plenty
of good home-made manure.

plow of some kind that will not
make too large a bed, as. we do
not want the seed too high.

ordinary cow manure. If all the
manure, both solid and liquid,
be saved and made peifectly
dry by evaporating the water,
the result would be about one
half tne weight of tho cotton
seed meal and the hulls con
sumed by the animal. About
three-fourth? to seven-eighths
of the nitrogen, and practically
all of tbe phosphoric acid, pot
ash and other animal matter in
the food consumed, will appear
in the manure, it being in the
dung. The quantity of water,
however, and other worthless
matter, sand, clay, litter, etc.,
would reduce the richest of the
iranure far beiow that of the
food consumed." After all, such
i . .... .
manure is no richer than that
from a well-fed horse.
There-
fore you need have no appre
hensions of applying too much
to cotton, corn or potatoes. It
would be well to compost or
mix the manure with acid phos
phate, and some form of potash,
as it is relatively deficient in
