Sanderlin c lied to see us on Tuesday' and entertained us for a while on rice culture and hay raising. He had on the Old Dominion wharf a couple of bales of hay brought in by the steamer Shenandoali from his farm in Pasquotank. They wore sample bales of a lot of 80 tons, the first cutting from his farm this summer, and dealers here pronounce it as good as any Northern hay ever brought here. It is timothy and-red top, and one thing which adds greatly to its market value is the man ner in which it is put up nice, square bales, bound with wire, and weighing from one hundred and twenty-five to one hundred and fifty. Mr. Sanderlin informs us that his first cutting, notwithstanding there was no rain from the 1st of April to the 18th of May, yielded a ton and a half to the acre. ,The second cutting, which will be in September, while it will not bring so much in the market as the first yet will yield as much profit by being fed to stock on the farm We wish to figure little right here for the benefit of some of our farmer:). Let it be remem bered that to prepare an acre for timothy oost no more than to prepare one for cotton. With an outlay of two dollars for seed the first year ho will get from an acre in hay, for the first cutting, 830.00 at retail or $25.00 wholesale, and the second cutting, worth at least $25.00 when fed to stock, will make the total yield at the lowest figure $50.00. From an acre of cotton, with an outlay of at leaBt $5.00 for fertilizers and good seasons an average yield of tw,o hundred and fifty pounds of lint cotton will probably be the result which would bring 25.00. The cost of cultivating the hay is nothing; the cost of cultivat ing the cotton it considerable; the cost of gathering and marketing the cotton is considerable more than cutting and saving the hay. We will leave the reader to make up the balance sheet. Well but, "says one "if every farmer goes to raising hay it will soon be worth nothing." But we do not advocate raising hay alone. Diversify, diversify, Diversify is our theory. There are several thousand tons of hay sold in this section alone and the money 6eut to Maine makes us poorer; while if the hay was raised here it would not only keep the money here but would be the cause of better beef in our market; bet ter mules and horses on our farms, and less mortgaging and bankruptcy. Mr. Sanderlin, by an exhaustive ommunication in the Journal several years ago, gave highland rice culture a boom which has caused hundreds of thousands of bushels of that grain to be grown in Eastern Carolina; in fact it has been a blessing to many farmers when cotton crops were failures and prices poor, and now we hope he will give hay making a send off and if he can succeed in getting our' farmers at it they will rise up and call him blessed Important Sale. There will be an important sale of groceries, dry goods, etc., at the store of W. F. Rountree this morning by Watson & Street, auctioneers. See ad vertisement. Invited to Come at Will.

There were but very few com plaints and not many changes in the valuations returned by tne tax-listers. There, was a model Sunday school picnic m Woodington township last Friday where everybody wa ked away with their baskets. The ruling spirit got too spiritual and the picnic closed nituvutuuiuu. The bad example of tho Sunday Bchool picnic the day previous had its effoct on tne Kepublican primary meeting last Saturday at Woodington. Almost a row took place, but it did not do as bad as the Sunday school picnic There are signs here and there, since the primary Kepublican meetings last Saturday, that the blaek flag of abuse and misrepresentation is neither an in spiring banner to fight under, nor a glo rious one to be wrapped in after the fight is over. a Aiicmganaer went to uaKota, got sick of the new country, traded hisl"flintrs" and personalities, which mav homestead for a dog, a gun and $50 in money; Kitted tne nrst, lost tne second and reached his old place with fifty cents m pocket. Some of the candi- dates for sheriff in this county did about as well at that Micnigander and per haps are in a mood sincerely to sympa thize with him The Republican primary meeting in Kinston township last Saturday waa un usually harmonious. The selection of delegates was satisfactory to Sheriff Davis. At the night meeting, however, old Harry broke loose," all the speak ers being full of brimstone and dyna mite, which were freely thrown at each other. No body waa hurt so far as as certained Thn cnnAral result nf the primary elections in the county appear to be considerably mixed. The contest for sheriff seems now to be between!

The meeting was uproarious from begin' ization, in which the Davis men were successful The Democrats met in the afternoon and organized by electing J. P. Joyner chairman and O. E. W.

The meeting was entertained by speeches from J. Y. Joyner and N. J. Rouse, Esqrs., who, each of them, fully maintained their former reputation as sneakers of ahiehorder. The meeting was Harmonious excepting a few not have been intended unkindly but which would have been better let alone.
