Charlotte. N. C., la a growing city
of 20,000 people. Charlotte has the
beat advertising sketchbook I ever saw.
It La beautifully Illustrated aud printed
and seem* tu be founded mi fact*.
They ar* diakrtbuted from all th*
hotel* and are pteamnt reading on the
train. It tails all about the climate
and health and altitude nod bualneea
aud resource* aud public morals, but
what amazed aud impressed me moat
wa* the circle map that show* the
number of oolton mill* within a radius
of 100 mils* from Charlotte. On this
map are black dot* cambering th*
mill* at every town and in* aggregate
Is 310, or stout 03 ptr cent of all the
mills in the South. These mills
operate 1,031,000 spindles and 14.000
looms and are capital I x-d at *4,000,000.
Till* little bonk contains a tabular
statement of all ll>eas mills by cams
and capacity. Charlotte has eleven of
. Iter own.
Now, 1 was ruminating about thla
In connection with Ore cent cotton.
And there is some comfort m-it, for
we keep at boms all ths proQt tber* is
lu manufacturing and we give employ
uieut to thousands of oar poor and
dependent people Suppose that every
township in Georgia had it cotton mill
and that all Us citnilug were spent aud
sc attered In tbe community, then we
wouldn't feel So bad over lb* low price
of the great staple lYe would indi
rectly share In the profits of manufso
turing.
Once again I visited the old llroe
hooorsd osmolery— tbe Oral graveyard
or old Meekieuburg county. I wa*
somr to sea that It has of I ale bean
nrglecled and baa growo op to briar*
and weed*. 1 took note of some of tit*
old inscription* and this one especially
attracted my attention:

There lias a good Romau Catholic,
thought I. He went to purgatory and
llio pelaet prayed for him. Tben I
ruminated about Maooabees not being
la the snored canon, but was in the
Apocrypha, and the Apocrypha wti
ruled out of the King James version la
1k20. Then 1 turned tn aa old Dlble
that had Ibe Apocrypha and found
that the 19th chapter of II Maccabees
had only forty-Bve verses, bat the last
three had the same Injunction to pray
for them who are dead, and further
more, that Judas Maccabees raised
among his soldiers ‘2,000 drachma aa a
ain offering for thorn who were ilalo.
2 make no comment on this. Martin
Luther translated the Bible and left In
It these two books, ss be eald, fbr

The other morning about daybreak I
left Charlotte for J.ambertOD, on the
Wilmington road The break fait

conductor aey: “Twenty minutes for

the break feet bell. We bad a epleodld
meal, and I regained ay erat In the
same car. When about a mile from
town the conductor called for my
ticket, and recogntxsd ac aa bound for
Lumbcrtou. He frantically pulled the
bell cord and told me to get off aod
hurry hack, for maybe I could catch
the Wllmlegtoo train, Slight thee I
waa dletreaaed, far I knew there was
no other train that day, and I was
billed to leeture that night. The land
was shoe-mouth deep, but I gripped
my baggage end fox-trotted about 300
yards aad suddenly discovered that I
would have to put oo braker for my

Involuntarily exclaimed, -Farewell,

took my time and made hnate (lowly,
and when I reached the station waa
tbe picture of disappointment sod
despair. “Whet can an old man do

another as I as that train steaming
away without me. Bat all's wed that

that waa going to leave for I.umbertoa
at 11 o’woofc. but tbe conductor
eealdat aey when It would i*
there. I wired my friend that I waa
left, but to bold the fort, for I waa
coming-aad he did. It wae only
folly-four miles, but It took m over

only time to weal) ap and brush up aod

Lumbar ton la a good old tows, and
luii tho beat waterworks that 1 bars
ever seen anywhere. They bare four

and many more private onsa. These
public ones, Including pipes and every
thing, coat Urea than fl.OOO, aod I
know of many a town tbat would give
810,000 (or similar privileges. Luna

Tba next stop waa at Weldou, In

but be has already appointed eight

for lba negroes outnumber the whites
and brag that "tbelr time baa eons at

It used to be that whew a man
wnao't Irreverent enoath to tall a man
to "go to bell” be would tell him to go
to -Halifax." I understand now what
he meant. It has been nearly arty
years slnoe I stepped at Weldon and
the town hasn’t changed much. Tbs
people are higMoosd and bare good
manners, for they live etoee to tba
Yirglala Hue and com* from aristo
cratic stock. From Weldon I Jour
neyed to Washington, on Pamlico
souod, a lively city nf 0,000 people. X
was asourted to tbs Kicks boose, where
all the drummers couflegate, for Mrs
Kicks is a mother to them all and tbay
love her. I found her borne (all of
(beat. They coma aud tbay go on
evnry train. I Ilka tba drummers acd
aympatbisa with tbam for they are far
away from home and many of tham
have families and have to leave them,
as ( do, to make a living. I am a
drummer myself, bat 1 don’t like the
name. It U slang sad duos not Ot

It originated from lba militia musters

the drummer rattles his tongue with

now, for 5 cent cotton haa nearly
ruined tbelr bualnem. Rut they keep
going. They are averywhara. Tbay
get on aod off at ayery station by

They are continually robbing agaluat

Having finished the gathering of the
en» off of my pat acre of cotton, I
will now. In oompliaoce with yonr re
3o«et made to ois some weeks ago, so
savor to give you a history of the ex
periment.
To begin with, tbe plot of lend waa
stepped off by one of asy neighbors aa
follow!: First line. 80 yards; second
linn, GO yards; third line, 00 yard*; aed
fourth Kn*. 05 yard*, enclosing a total
of 4,010 square yards of dark gray land
with yellow subsoil.
How, to go beck a lltUe. Two years
ago, (in INK) this plot was fartlltstd
with 600 poaada of soluble goaao and
planted la aora. The yield was be
tween 40 and 60 boabels. Last year
(18M It waa fertllmad with 16 two
boras loads of lot scraping, scattered
broadcast, and 1.000 pounds of soluble
guano, Charlotte acid and German
kalnit plaoed In drill. Altar this. It
waa planted with King cotton, and the
yield waa 846 pound* or lint.
- About the middle or Marsh, of the
present year, I made a compost heap,
oousiatlag of do bushels of cotton teed,
tlx two Imres loads of stable manure,
800 pounds of Charlotte add and 900
pound* of kalnit. After a thorough
mixing, these materials ware covered
with rich earth and left tu a low, fiat
heap until the 16th of Aptll, when, af
ter having turned out tbe old stalks
and smoothly harrowed my acre, I
spread over It the contents of the com
pnet heap, aa evruly as possible, and
tlieu turned It under to edepth nf Irons
sis to eight inches, after wbieh 1 egatn
used tbe harrow to level and pulverise
the lend.
With the manure in and Use land
thoroughly pulverised,! next took a
terrace level, ran a line directly
through tbe centra of tbe plot, and
from this Una, each way, laid off the
rows 41 feet apart from centra to cen
tre. Then. In the furrows. I drilled
TOO pounds of equal part* nf soluble
aueoo. Charlotte acid end kalnit, end
after that, with a 6-iaoh steel efaovei, 1
prepared the buid In low fiat beds for
planting.

'•H tbs beat sulks that grew on the
*aaw laud the year before
Oo the 90ih of May, I aide harrowed
ll>e acre, and two days afterward west
over it spin, acd, by hand, pulled it
up to one stalk to every 0 or 8 Inebea.
Tbla work 1 did myself, la order to be
aura that It was done right, and alio
that I might be assured that there wee
outblag left but healthy, vigorous
stalks
Oo the 27lb of May ( aide-harrowed

to 18 Inches In the drill. Next, on Uie
10th of Juoe, I skied with e abort
straight shovel and 18-lucb bow, and
on the Md I skied again with larger
shovel and 10-loch bow. Then, oo lbe
16th of July, I hoed end run three
furrows with shovel end 18-Jeeh keel
aorspe. Last, oo the 38th of July, I
went through tbs middles as deeply aa
1 could with a bull tocgue, or scooter,
and than, on the same day, "laid-by”
by leveling off with shovel and beet
scrape.
The work of picking, ginning and
packing has lost been completed, with
a total yield of four bales, weighing
respecttvHr 430. 441, 453 and 808
pounds. In all 1,723 pounds of tint on
the acre.
Now, Mr. Rdilnr, I knew that this
la a phenomenal yield of oottou to be
gathered from ooe acre, and many of
your readers will doubt this report. 1
have uot got anything to my Thomas;
bat to others who believe in the poeei
blllty of things that they Uiemeehres
have never meu, I beg to say that what
I have done la nothin;; mors than they
can do If they wilt use the mesas Let
them select the right kind of mad, fer
tilise their lead well, work It properly,
and my word for it they will be grott
6ed at the result.
I At lot myaau, I bate been tuloa tba
KIbi variety for eometime past. I am
not prepared to My that tba King ia
superior to all other varieties for all
kind* o( soil; but la this allmate, on
highly fertilised leads, I think the
King beau any other variety.
while my tooetm tbla year haa been
Id a large measure doe to the seed—
probably I (two more to Uio aeed than
anything alee; Mill 1 think that the
deep farrow at the last working had
mueh to do with the yield. My opin
ion here It baaed on past expcrieooe.
I Imre earerel times before gall «r«d
two bales from one acre, and each time
tlwre was a considerable quantity of
froit whieb failed to matura. Some of
it rotted and aotae of It dried up. Any
how, It did Dot open 1 began to think
It waa Impose!bit to cultivate or ferti
lise so as to gat mors th so two bales.
The trouble seemed to be that after a
certain point, tte Maiks wo old become
so large aod tba foliage so dausa as to
aaoeaaerlly causa the mo aiding and
rotting of tba lower bolls.
llat la the King variety tbla trouble

Malk dues not grow m large coder same
