THE great exposition at St. Louis last year was a mammoth affair. Its outlays in money, time and energy were immense; and there has been surprise at the financial success of the en terprise. The St. Louis Republic refers to it as. a lesson in economy as follows : Teach this to the children of the nation. When the ques tion is asked. Why was the St. Louis exposition a business success in spite of its mammoth dimensions and elaborate fea tures? let it be known that the sole secret was economy economy in its larger sense of vigilance, method and strictness. Citizens of ability devoted themselves to the minutiae of economy as well as to the broader principles. If in the battle Providence is on the side of the heaviest artillery it is in busi ness enterprises on the side of thorough detail." ttlt Heads the List. IIR. Clarence H. Poe, the versatile editor of the Progressive m Farmer, has refused an offer to leave North Carolina. The newspaper men all over thetState are rejoicing that Mr.Poe is to remain in North Carolina journalism. About the neatest turned compliment for him that we have seen is the following by the Statesville Landmark: "Mr. Clarence H. Poe, the bright young editor of the Pro gressive Farmer, has declined an offer to become one of the editors of a New York magazine at a salary of $3,000 and a share in the profits of the publication. The offer was a tempt ing one. But Mr. Poe is needed in North Carolina and it is gratifying to know that he has decided to remain. He is a young man of unusual ability and in a remarkably short , time has gained almost a national reputation as a writer a greater prominence than any other North Carolina writer has ever attained." tt.tt That New Orleans Meeting. THE meeting of Southern cotton farmers in New Orleans last week means a great deal if the policy outlined is carried out. They effected a permanent policy which had been suggested from many quarters before the meeting was held. The plan of operation whereby it is hoped to get relief by raising the price of cotton is a reduction of the acreage and a decrease in cent., and to hold the cotton now unsold for a higher price. Holding the cotton for a higher cy to raise the price of cotton persisted in long enough, it wili crease in the acreage and the have a tendency to raise the price of cotton; but we fear that the reduction in acreage will not lessen the cotton crop as much as at first one might suppose. Almost certainly with a reduction in the acreage there will follow effort to make a larger yield per acre. And while the amount of fertilizers may also be reduced 25 per cent, along with the reduction in acre age, there will be a larger use of other manures and doubtless a little better cultivation. So even with a general reduction of 25 per cent, both in acreage and the use of fertilizers, it will not mean that the number of bales producedjwill be 25 per cent, less than the last crop. Other things being equal, there will most certainly be a discrepancy between the reduction in acre age and fertilizers and the amount of cotton produced. If the crop of last year was in round numbers twelve million bales, and the acreage and amount of fertilizers this year should be reduced 25 per cent. , a corresponding reduction in the crop re sult would make it eight million bales. Under the conditions recited the crop will most certainly be more than that. So the farmers' entire relief cannot come from the proposed reduction. They must make themselves more independent by raising home supplies and thus having less need for money. tttt Immigration to the South. THE Washington Post recently gave utterance to the follow ing concerning white immigration to the South. "It does not seem to us that the white immigration scheme is meeting with very distinct encouragement at the South. Our friends down that way do not take kindly to the" idea of having foreign populations injected by wholesale into their social sys tem. They have great areas that can readily be converted to the uses of agriculture and other industries, and they will be glad to have those resources developed in the common interest. But it is very clear that they object to immigration by the car go and in droves. They do not want vast multitudes of aliens and strangers driven among them by agents working under contract on a per capita basis of profit. They prefer to know something about the people they are expected to harbor on sight and to eventually adopt as neighbors and fellow-citizens. And this is precisely the emergency which the Post foresaw and discussed at the very outset. 'The truth is, that the South has retained the Anglo-Saxon civilization in virtually undilut ed form. With the exception of one or two great seaport towns, the white people of that section have preserved intact their stock, their customs, their ideals and their institutions. Gen erations succeed each other in unbroken order, each taking on something of the fruit of human progress and keeping pace with the general exaltation, but tne race remains in its original j purity and abandons nothing of its original character and in sDiration.Down in their hearts, whatever committees and con: ventions and zealous exploiters may say, the Southern people are content with the evolution which has brought them to their present state. They do not relish the idea of alien infusions, now social problems, and perilous experiments in unknown fields. They have emerged from disaster by familiar and sure paths Along those paths they would rather journey to the end We have never believed that the South would welcome wholesale immigration from Europe or any other foreign lands, nor can we see any reason why they should." .

Senate Goyernor Glenn sent the following message : To the Honorable the General Assem oly of North Carolina. "Gentlemen : From a careful read ing of tbe report of the Secretary of State, ax 3 ,;i p the recommendations made by the retiring Governor in his annual mengp, you will perceive the absolute necessity of some steps being ta'ten to provide adequate room for certain ot th State Departments, as well as places suitable lor tbe keeping of valuable records, now being stored in different portions o! the city of Hal eigb. Tbe records and papers belong ing to the office of the Secretary of State, as well as those in the Execu tive and.Supennteudent of Public In struction's offices are most valuable, and their loss by Ore or otfieiwise en tail not only inconvenience, but great financial loss to the State.and yet these papers are piled up in different build ings inadequately protected from fire or other destructive means, and are lia ble at any time to be lost or destroyed. Also an inspection ot tbe cil'ue of the Commissioner of Insurance will show that his department is over-crowded and entirely insufficient for its demands, and as the work in thla efhee is in creasing annually, adding very largely : to tbe finances at tbe State's command, something ought and must be done to give him more room and better facili ties, or else the State will suffer mate rial loss. In addition to this tbe build ing in which tbe State Library la now kept ib uufit foi tbe weight of the Docks placed upon its floors and serious and fatal 'results are likely to follow any day from this department being so insecure. As is well known to you, only a few days ago a breakage of some kind occurred in the floor ot tbe State Library and it is now pi oac.inced unsafe, and architects and contractors are now at work trying to remedy the damage. From their report it eeeirs that in the future it will.be unwise to continue to pile books and papers upon floors that might at any moment give way, destroying not only this depart ment, with its books and records and ti es of newspapers over one hundred years old, lull of valuable information, but likewise doing great injury to tbe whole Supreme court building. "Tbe Secretary of State is to-day pay inn 1800.25 per annum for the rent of rooms in different parts of tbe city in which to store bis records, historical papers, books and manuscripts, and in addition to this will be compelled to rent this year a new building, entirely unsuited for tbe purpose, situated about a half mile from the Capitol, for which be will have to pay $15 per month, in order to have a place to store tbe laws, passed by this General Assem bly, and the Code which is now in course of enactment. There must be added to tbis cost the cost ol insurance on military supplies, etc., paid through tbe Adjutant General's department. You can see therefore the need of some place to store these records, etc., as well as to furnish apartments for the Commissioner of Insurance, the State Library and tbe Superintendent of Public Instruction. It seems to me therefore that one of two courees should be adopted by your Honorable Body. One to add to our present Cap itol building sufficient rooms, vaults, etc , to supply all ol its demands., A committee has heretofore been appoint ed and has male a report stating what wonld be the cost ot an addition to tbe Capitol. This addition would fur- nifh new hails for tbe Senate and House of Representatives, new Su preme vcourt, rooms, rooms lor toe State Library, rooms for the meeting of ail the committees needed by the General Aksembly, as well as vaults where all documents, manuscripts, rec ords ana paper could be sately and se curely kept. The other proposition is, that if the General Asseirbly cannot see its way to add to tbe Capitol, that a building known as a Hall of Records, should be provided this to be erected on tbe lot now owned by the btate of North Carolina on tbe Northwest corn er of Salisbury ard Morgan streets, which was formerly purchased as a site, for tne arsenal, xnis nunaing should be large enough and with suffi cient stories to accommodate all the needs and requirements now demanded by tbe State, it is needless for me, af ter stating ;these facts, to say to you that something must be done, unless you are willing to risk by fire, or other wise, the destruction of document, pa pers, records, etc , that have a value that money, even, cannot replace. I therefore most earntsily commend to yoaroo forth and alter ascertaining the neec's and necessities of the various depart ments, that you take such steps, eitber in addinir to tbe Capitol or building a new building suitable for the purpose required, to the end that property of North Carolina shall be protected, and its various departments furnished facil ities for properly transacting the busi ness of tbe State. "This matter is respectfully submit ted to your consideration." The mftfsjge was referred to tbe Committee on Public Buildings and grounds. House Governor Glenn sent to tl e Housa tbe same message that was sent to tbe Senate. . Other matters acted upon were f only general importance. NINETEENTH DAY WEDSESDAY, JAN 25. Senate Senators Alexander, Brag aw, Odell, Springfield and Scales offer ed resolutions and petitions against the divorce laws which at present obtain in tbe North Carolina courts, and the pe titions prayed that all divorce laws en acted since 1883 be repealed. Tbe pe titions were strong in their denuncia tion of the laxity allowed by the law in marriage relations, and which al most made tbe marriage altar a mart for (be buying and selling of husbands and wives. They were referred to tbe Committee on Judiciary. Ms. Scales also sent forwaid a peti tion from the Friends' church, of Gull ford coimty, asking that tbe Watts law be amended, and commending the es-ei tial yalue of an anti-jag law. The petition was referred to the Committee on Propositions and Grievances. Itfr. Arendell offered a petition to amend a certain law preventing tbe sale of I'q'ior within five miles of cer tain churches. Propositions and Griev ances. Senators Webb, Scales, Cragaw, Bryan, Long of Iredell, McLi tn, C x, Tborne, Alexander and others prefeut ed petitions in bshalf of their constitu ent meicbants to have the act, com monly termed, the merchants' tax law, repealed. There petitions in general are as fo'lows : - . "We respectfully petition the Gener al Assembly of North Carolina to repeal Section 67 of the Revenue Acts, c4 monly known (16 'the merchants' tx,' for tbe following reasons : "That it is unjust, unequal and not in proportion to trxes levied on oth r legitimate lines of business. "Tbat its operations have been at tended with disastrous effects upon tbe mercantile Interests of the State. That it has not a wholesome, moral effect : and, Tbat the merchants are among tbe largest property holders, and are there fore taxed on real and personal prop erty, and tbe said sales tax operates as a double taxation on mercantile inter ests."

Notwithstanding the fact that the ground is apt to be covered with ice and snow at this season of tbe year, thought must be given to the making of tbe kitcber. garden, to insure the most gratifying results. The seedsmen's catalogues must be sent for and care- fully studied, lits of things we want ' to grow decided upon, and seeds and roots sent for. One of the profitable ' things to have, yet which seldom is ' had by the kitchen gardner, is a bed ' of kitchen herbs. Sage, thyme, sweet' marjoram, tarragon, mint, sweet basil, 1 parsley, celery onions, houselook, and' many other flavoring herbs are easily , crown from seed.or nlnnts ol nearlv all can be had of the nurserymen or market gardner. Parsley and tarragon should be gathered and diied just b? fore flowering, in June and July, and mint may be cared for t the same time. Thvrne, marjoram and summer savory, basil and sage and others may be cared for in July, August and Sep tember. Tbey should le gathered on a sunny day, and dried ;n the fchade ; some prefer to cure them by artificial heat. When dried, tbey should be rubbed to a powder between the hands and put away in air-tight tin cans or fruit jirs. Many of these herbs are perennials and, once established, will last for years, and will pay good rental for the ground they occupy. For use during tbe summer months, one. can grow a few stalks of celery, using tbe green leaves as flavoring in many things.
