' The Chronicle has frequently heard
Raleigh people, who have been off on
tours of various kinds, tell about what
they have seen in" their travels. They
have frequently told of places where
from $50,00 to $75,00 net per acre could
Many of

these tourists, while abroad, loarn more
about foreign communities than they
know about their own.
What, for instance, would the average
Raleigh citizen say if he should go to
California and learn that' $100 per acre
could be made there by grape growing?
This very thing has Deen done around
Raleigh fjr several years past, though
few people have found it put.
In most places where land- can be
rr.de to yield $100 per acre at anything,
that land can bareiy bo bought for less
than $500 per-acre; but in Wake coun
ty, and around Raleigh, it can be bought
very, much cheaper and will yield the
same profit. , . .
To show what can ba done in this sec
tion, the Chronicle prints' with pleasure
a short paper by Capt. 15. P. William
son, of this city, giving his experience
and results in grape growing. It was

Chicago, Aug. 22. A special to the
rost . from Cleveland, Ohio,, says: "An
evening5 Post correspondent called upon
Mr. P ' M. Arthur, Grand Chief of the
Brotherhood of Engineers, at his Euclid
Avenue office this morning, and asked
him what he intended to do in the mat
ter of Mr. Powderly's letter, published
to day.
"I have nothing to say about it If
Mr. Powderly writes me a letter on that
or any other subject, it will be promptly
answered. It ought not' to be necessry
for anybody to inquire how the Brother
hood of Engineers stands in regard to
strikes.1 That has been declared in print
and otherwise, hundreds of times.
Mr. Arthur spoke with great deliber
ation and apparently endeavored to con
ceal any feeling one way or the other ho
may have in regard to the strike, and tho
course of the engineers in regard thereto.
But in spite of this it was not difficult
. to see from his . manner that Mr. Pow
derly need not look for much aid or

St. Louis, ; Aug. . 22. AU indications
here point to a strike of 4,000 men on
the St.' Louis division of the Big Four
road.- The men are all waiting for the
word and seem to understand that it
will begin shortly.
Brussels, Aug. 22. The strike in the
in tne year loco 1. planted on
a gravelly top soil, with "clay subsoil,
four acres in grape vines 2000 Ives and
1000 Champions, they : being the two
earliest known reliable varieties.
Before planting, the land was deeply
and well prepared, then harrowed out
and the vines planted eight feet apart
each way. This was done in February.
In April I planted two rows of. cotton
between the grape vines, the rows all
running the same way. . I cultivated
grapes and cotton alike, both growing
well. In 18S6 I planted only one- row of
cotton between the grape vines, getting
again a fine growth of vines and cot
ton. I applied 300 pounds of Ammo
niated Guaao to the acre each year.' "
I planted no cotton in the year 1837,
but. gave all the land to the vines., In
February I sowed 500 pounds of. kain it
and super; ' osphate combined ' on
each acre, and plowed the land' Tooth
ways ' 'close and deep with ons-horss;
plows. After that I cultivated and kept
the vines clear of grass and weeds with
cotton sweeps, which means shallow
cultivation, acd is, according to my judg
ment, the right way. - About the middle
of May I sowed on each acre 500 pounds
of Raleigh Standard Quano, and cultiva
ted it in with sweeps, and then discon
tinued cultivation.

It is also the earnest desire of this
committee, that the young Democrats m
each township in Wake county, reorgan
lze their old clubs, and organize new
6nes,and at once put themselves in com
munication with this club, that we may
air unite in a determined and united cf
fort to redeem Wake county, . and .by
such combined determination carry the
banner ofDemoaracy to. success.
Such action on tho part of the young
Democrats of tho county will assure us
a grand Democratic victory in Novem
-ber, and eause our county to . take her
place in the list of .Democratic counties
of the State.
