We have just received State Auditor, G. W. Sanderlin's Re port for 1880. It comes hand somely bound and is the neatest State Auditors's report we have ever seen. It contains much valuable information, showing in minute detail the receipts and disbursements of the public funds. The Auditor's report for 1888 showed that there was 372,000 in the Ti easury, this re port shows only $1G,000, and if the Treasurer had not sold a large amount of state 4 per cent bonds there would have been a con siderable deficit. This falling off of the public funds was caused by the action of the Legislature reducing the tax on the 3100 worth of property from 30 to 20 cents, and also by the lost of the drummers' license tax. Thus one Legislature pre pars trouble for the next. Our Farmers' Column. SOMETHING INTERESTING TO THOSE WHO TILL THE SOIL. "There is no material progress that is well based and permanent without agricultural progress."' We are sorry to have to disap point our readers again this week by not continuing an ac count of the discussions at the Sampson County farmers' Insti tute, but we are forced to do so for want of space. We can't add another column to the pa per conveniently nor stretch those that we have. However, we are glad to see that our far mer readers are anxioas to see and read the remainder of the discussions. It is a good sign. We will be Mire to give it all in full before we quit. Crops Reports. The Weekly Weatl er Crop Bulletin for the week ending Friday, April 25 tb, 1890, says: The uninterrupted mildness of the winter months of this sea son developed fruit and vegeta bles to an unusual degree, and enabled farmers to accomplish good work in preparation for the coming season by putting land in first-class condition for plant ing. At tho eud of the winter everything looked green and the buds of fruit trees were in an advanced state, promising an abundant crop. During March, however, the tempera ture fell rapidly to the normal r slightly below and the heavy rosts damaged fruit especially, i and wheat, oats, etc , to some extent. favorable weather during April greatly improved wheat and oats, and orobablv he damage to fruit, excepting peaches and plums, may not be so great as was anticipated. On he whole, on the commence ment of the issue of Cron Bul- etin it may be said that the prospects for the coming season are very fair. The reports of correspondents or the week ending Fridav. April 25th, are generally favora ble, though the temyerature during the early part of tho week was below the average. and frosts occurred on the tnorn- ngs of the 19th and 20th, kill ing tender vegetables, melon vines, nipping young corn and injuring tobacco plants. Most correspondents remark, how ever, that the inlurv is not nearly so great as was appre hended. REMARKS OF SPECIAL CORRESPON DENTS. Eastern District. Clinton.

A HOOD SHOWING. V number of parties have ob jected to using the fertilizer adopted as the official guano of the Farmers' Alliance, claiming that it did not come up to the guaranteed standard, and we un derstand that there are those who hold high positions m the Order who have used other brand", not recommended by the Alliance, in preference to it. Mr. Worth, the State Business Agent, has a guarantee from the company manufacturing this guano, that tho ingredients that go into each ton shall be worth not les? than 17.50 before any of the cost of manipulating, etc., is expended. To settle this mat ter, Mr. John R. Cooper, the Business Agent of Salem Alii, ance had a sample.of this guano sent to the Agricultural Experi ment Station at Raleigh for an alysis by Dr. Battle, the Direc tor. We have his analysis' be fore us. which is as follows : Soluble Phosphoric Acid, 6.3G pr ct., Revested " " 2.15 " or Available 14 " 8.51 Insoluble " 44 1.08 Ammonia. 2.21 it 41 Potash, 2.70 44 Now estimating the phospho ric acid at 5 cents per pound; tho ammonia 13 cents per pound, and potash 5 cents per pound, the ingredients alont of a ton of this guano are worth $18.18, or G8 cents more than the guaran teed value, while we understand that the average analysis from samples taken from all over the Statp, show even a higher value than this. This is an excellent showing and we wish to congratulate Business Agent Worth, aud the manufacturers of this guano upon it. Also we wish to con gratulate the farmers upon the fact that if they must use the stuff, that they are getting more valuable ingredients for the same money through the agency of the Alliance, than evar be fore. BLUFF ALLIANCE, NO. 577. Mr. Editor: Please state in your excellent paper that the regular meetings of Bluff Al liance No. 577, have been chan ged to Saturday before the 4th Sunday in cacli month at i p. m. .sharp; only one meeting per month. Wo have also establish ed a farmers' Institute in con nection writh our Alliance busi ness, as suggested by the County Lecturer before onr lodge, nnd the subject for discussivai at our May meeting in, "Is guano really a benefit to the farmer." Can't you furnish a plan to con duct an instiute and publish it in your paper? the most expedi tions method is what I want; have one of my own, but want yours as you are more conver sant with institutes of the kind, I having never attended one. Yours Fratenally, W. J. C. Sec'y. P. S. Please state also that 1 forwarded April 21st t j the Secretary N. F. A. & I. U. the 5c per capita due on the Oct. returns to Secretary S. Co. F. A. I forwarded it to the Nat. Sec'y. so a there would bo no further delay. It would have been sent sooner, but we used all the Treasury money to assist an un fortunate brother, and raised the per capita by subscription. W.J.C. We are very much pleased, gratified that you have establi shed the Institute feature in connection with your Alliance business at each meeting of your lodge. We would suggest that vou manage it something like the County Farmers' In stitute are conducted. That you appoint some member to prepare a paper, or talk it off hand, giving his experience and observation with reference to the use of goano and his opinion ad to its value and the general effect produced by its use upon the farmer and the fertility of the soil. Have a question box, and while this discussion is going on let every one who wishes to ask a question or point out any error or mistake. write such questions on a slip of paper anrt drop it into the box Wben your speaker has finished. have your secretary to take out the question and read them, stopp.ng after each ior general discussions. Your lodge should secure literature. facts aud sUtis ties iu advance on the su iUDieCIS to be dea and far to tha appointed, to lead off in the discussions. But some plan that you would devise yourselves, might work better than this. Ed. PUBLIC ADDRESS. In response to an invitation, ' Mr. J.D.Ezzell delivered a public i lecture at the lodge of Hall's Alliance on he 12th of April.! It was inteiesting and to the; (po'nt and hud a good efi?ct.The I following is an outline of his ! speech: J The cause of the present condition jof the people beKan in IStil and has t . A L 1 i. - - I The government lost the power jof controlling tne finances of the ! country. This created the most corrupt banking system ' since the beecining or the Republic. Unlike the decade preceding 1800, when money was more equally distributed among the people, our legislative bodies were not made up then as now with millionaires, whose sole interest is in monopolistic bunking and combines. Tho high rate of intend and scarcity of money growing out of this transfer of the power of money into the hands of the national bank, has been grinding and sapping the very life of the country. The toiling masses have risen in their might and power and ask to be recognized by the great law-making power of the country. What do we see as the out growth of this positive demand? The corrupt power that has been concealed behind the throve, is be gining to shake, and the Sub-Treasury Plan, by which the people will be relieved is receiving a warm support. The people are becoming more informed, nt t as to technicalities s, much, but working up as to their true condition. The producers of 7,000,000 bales of cotton with a proportional amount of grain, are learning that their best interest is not connected with the political clique or ring-caucus. Sec'y of Hall's Alliance. a- Look After the Little Ones. S. S. S. is the remedy for children because it is a simple vegetable com pound, prepared from the roots gath ered Irom the forests, and contains ro mineral at all nor any poison of any kind. It cures by eliminating the impurities of the blood, thus as sisting nature. If there is or has been any con sumption in your family, you should give your children S. S. S. It will gently stimulate the action of the 1 ngs, and enable nature to properly develop the child. If there is scrof ula, you should not fail to give S. S. S. It is the onlv remedy which has ever cured this disease. For boilsd pimples, blotches, etc., on children S. S. S. is superior to all other medi cines. It acts gently, it forces out the impurities and builds up the child from the first dose. We will mail a treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases to all who will send their address to us.
