North Carolina may enter this contest,
and the conditions governing it will be
about as follows:
First The crop of cotton or corn shall
be grown this year (1886) on one acre of
ground to itself, on which poeomoke
uper-phosphate only is used, and not
on a part of two or more acres.
Second HQ restriction ismaaeasto
the quantity of poeomoke super-phos-phat
to be used on the premium) acre,
as our object is to determine what
amount of fertilizer will pay the most,
and the best mode of applying same.
Third Each contestant win te re
quired to select not less than three dis

: , ;. County Finances. A $
" .. : ErnttlP, O. Feb. 10.
Editor Journal: Having heard that
the board of commissioners have al
lowed the chairman 5 per cent, of the
back taxes for collecting them, I desire
tn know if there is any law empowering
them (o pay him more than his per diem
while collactiner rr , -
It seems to me that the act imposing
such collection on him as chairman of
county commissioners implies that such
duty shall be performed as a commis
sioner whose pay is fixed by law at $2
nr dsv: and if he was unwilling to at
sume tbe duty for the pay, he should
have resigned, ttow mucn re o per
cent, on back tax? How much does the
State pay for collecting her part of the
aid tax? ' ' i
Is Craven county willing or able f
nav for collecting State taxes? - - i
Iu response to your invitation I have
propounded the above questions by an
swering which you will oblige -
A Constant Reader at Holly Bill.
The board of commissioners at the
January meeting, we believe, passed the
following order. ,
Ordered, That the chairman of the
board be allowed as compensation for
his services 5 per cent of all monies col'
lee ted by him for the county, under the
set to enforce the ejection of taxesdue
the State parsed by the last General As
sembly of North Carolina
We understand this to mean that the
chairman is to receive, five pe' cent of
thn funds he collects for the county,
whether or not the State pays anything
for the collection of her portion of these
back taxes we are tot prepared to an
swer. As to how mueh is five per cent
of the back taxes we can not answer for
tbe reason that we don't know how
much has been collected. When tha
chairman reports to the . board the
amount collected we will take pleasure
in publishing it for the information of
the tax payers of the county.
As to whether there is any law for
making such an allowance, we know of
none. It was undoubtedly the inten
tion of the act that the board of com
missioners should receive these taxes at
their regular meeting without extra pay ;
and in nine-tenths of the counties in
North Carolina they could do this
without interfering with their
regular routine business-. But
in Craven county there were several
hundred of. these delinquents whose
lands bad been deeded to the State, and
the short notice they had from tbe Sec
retary of State rendered it impossible
for the board to receive these taxes,
many of them running back seversl
years, causing considerable trouble to
ascertain the amounts due, at the regu
lar session, consequently it become
necessary that either the whole board
should remain in session for this pur
pose or to appoint one of their number
to remain at the court house from day
to day until tbe rush was over. The
commissioners displayed good judg
ment in adopting the latter plan. But
was not five per cent an extravagant
alio wance? This is what our correspon
dent thinks and doubtless what every
other tax-payer of moderate means
thinks. But still it
is not so extrava
where no service
gaot as paying bills
has been rendered.
We aro truly glad the tax-payers are
becoming aroused on the subject of
their county finances and taxes. The
county commissioners think to ignore
the subject and let the people forget it;
but they will learn sooner or later that
the people are in earnest. There are
two things that Craven county needs,
and she needs them badly:
First, a rigid enforcement of the law
in regard to listing and collecting taxes,
and,
Second, the most rigid economy in
disbursing the county finances.
80 Day Seed Corn.
Dkar Editor: I have a limited amount
of a very superior quality of extremely
large field corn which baa recently been
originated and which will mature in
from 80 to uu days, ii-ars ace irom iu to
14 inches long, and has a slender cob and
very fine large grains; is a marvel of
beauty: 134 bushels of shelled corn has
been raised per acre. I am very anxious
to know what this corn will do in other
climates, before advertising it for sale
and will send a large sample package
free to any farmer who will take good
care and report his success with it and
will enclose 23 cents in silver to pay
postage, packing, etc, on same. Ad

Sjinatb. rFeb. 15. The Chair laid be
fore the Senate the following letter
from the Secretary of the Interior, in
reply to Mr. Davis' recent resolution.
adopted by the Senate, which called for
all information in the Interior Depart
ment, relating to Henry Ward, late In
dian Inspector.
DEPABTHENT OP TBE INTERIOR.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 13th, 1886.
To the President pro tempore of the
rHenatt:
Sir : I have tbe honor to acknowledge
the receipt of the Senate resolution of
the cth Inst , in words as follows:
"Resolved, That the Secretary of the
Interior be directed to communicate to
the Senate copies of all papers which
have been filed to the Interior Depart
ment, and of all papers . which have
been presented to any officer of that
Department, touching tbe official inspec
tor during his continuance in said
office."
I transmit all official papers on file in
the Department which I understand to
be embraced by the resolution. The
official reports made to this Department
by Henry Ward, as United States Indian
Inspector are voluminous, and as the
clerical force of this Department is
limited and otherwise fully employed,
I have deemed it best to transmit orig
inal reports. As they are frequently
consulted in the transaction of the busi-
of the Department, I have the
honor to request that they be returned
to the files as soon as they are no longer
required by the Senate.
1 am directed by tbe f resident to say
that if tbe object of the resolution is to
inquire into the reasons for the suspen
sion of Mr. Ward, these papers are not
to be considered as constituting all of
the evidence submitted to him in rela
tion thereto.
I am also directed by the President to
say that he does not consider it consist
ent with the public interests to transmit
copies of unofficial papers from private
citizens, held in my custody for him,
which relate exclusively to the suspen
sion of incumbents.
I have tbe honor to be, very respect
fully, L. Q. O. Lamar, Secretary.
There are 282 enclosures. The letter
and accompanying papers were referred
to the Committee on Indian Affairs.
Among the petitions presented were a
considerable number favoring woman
suffrage and the opening up of tho
Oklahoma lands to settlement. .Re
ferred. Tbe Senate passed the bill granting
the franking privilege to Mrs. Julia D.
Grant, widow of Gen. Grant.
A resolution offered by Mr. Mahone
was, on objection by Mr. Cockrell, or
dered to lie over, calling on the Attorney-General
to inform tbe Senate what
number of oases to which the United
States were a party were pending in
circuit or district courts of the United
States in Virginia in 1884, and U8); and
further oalling for papers relating
thereto.
Mr. Morgan then took the floor and
resumed his argument against the con
stitutionality of the pending Educational
bill. So far as the State of Alabama
was concerned, he denied that it was
the land of darkness and lazzaretto of
ignorance to be inferred from the report
of the committee on Eduoatlon and
Labor. He read extracts from that re
port, and expressed wonder that any
man who had fought in the Confederate
army or representing a Southern State,
could agree to the matter be quoted.
Mr. George remarked that Mr. Mor
gan was endeavoring to noid an tne
members of that committee responsible
for the individual opinion of the chair
man of the committee, (Blair) and in
turn read from the report to show that
Mr. Morgan's quotations were but in
dividual opinions.
Chairman biair desired to make a re
mark, but Mr. Morgan declined to be
further interrupted, in the course oi
his subsequent remarks. Mr. Morgan
said he bad often heard it said that the
people of the South were a hoodwinked
lot of slaves, who were driven into re
bellion and secession by their leaders.
This he emphatically denied, and as
serted that on the contrary, the leaders
had been forced into secession by tne
people, and that many a cowardly heart
among the leaders would have failed
and fainted but for the fact that those
leaders knew they did not dare do so in
the presence of the faith of an enlight
ened and splendid people. He charac
terized the bill under debate as a bribe
to the South, but as for his part, be
neither grew blind nor shut his eyes in
tha presence of any bribe, no matter
how macnifieent. The bill would prove
Pandora box, and wouia ieaa to
what had - not inappropriately been
termed a condition of "organized hell"
between the States and the general uov
ernment. He prophesied that under its
baneful influenoe we would seethe peo
ple of the North and South again
frenzied with excitement
Mr. George enquired whether Mr,
Morgan meant to say that "after making
tha anosoDriation Congress might then
interpose in the State management of
the appropriation." v -
Mr. Morgan replied, "certainly,"
Mr. Georca denied this, and said he
could nowhere see anything in tb bill
to warrant such a construction - -
Mr. Morgan insisted on his point and
argued at some length to sustain his
contention. A State, he said, had.no
wav to oercDel the Secretary of the in
terior to grant it any part of the appro
priation except by appeal to Congress;
Mr that the intention was that Congress
should keep the matter luojudtce, so
that it mitfht change the conditions from
time to time. Congress could not treat
with a State on any subject over whioh
Congress bad not constitutional power,
11 it oould do that it oouia mace a com
pact with a State to abandon the very
function of self-government., The bill
under ooBBfderauoai'Woald. tit Con
grass in a position where It cord place
the hand of power on the throat of tb
State. The verv theory of the bill
would make the acting clause of all its
ordinances. That rreambi contained
no grant of power. Mr. Morgan read
from the other writings of President
Madison and other authorities in support
of bis ground, and maintained that those
authorities stood like a wall of adamant
against the passage of the pending bill.
Mr. George desired to interrogate Mr.
Morgan, but the latter Senator declined
to yield.
After further remarks Mr. Morgan
concluded, and Mr. Jacksonn took tbe
floor. He yielded, however, for a mo
tion to gj into executive session.
At 4:10 p. m. the Senate went into ex
ecutive session, and fifteen minutes
later ihe doors weie reopened and the
Senate adjourned.
House. Mr. Phelps, of New Jersey,
from the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, reported a resolution
calling on the Secretaay of State
for copies of all correspondents between
his Department and representatives of
the Governments of Belgium, Denmark,
Germany, Portugal, Sweden and Nor
way, relating to the claim of said Gov
ernments to be accorded the reduction
of tonnage dues accorded to vessels en
tering the ports of the United States
from certain ports named in section 14
of the Shipping act Adopted.
Under the call of States the follow
ing bills, etc., were introduced and re
ferred :
By Mr. Oates, of Ala., to define and
punish the offense of setting fire to
woods on lands belonging to tbe United
States.
By Mr. Herbert, of Ala., for judicial
ascertainment of claims against the
United States.
By Mr. Morrison, of Ills., to reduce
tariff taxes.
By Mr. Pulitzer, of N. Y., bill grant
ing a pension of 3,wu a year to the
widow of the late Gen. Hancock.
By Mr. Breckenridge, of Ky., to
authorize tbe issue of coin certificates.
By Mr. Bland, of Mo., fo the free
coinage of silver.
By Mr. Kelly, of Fenn., to revive the
grade of General in the U. S. Army.
By Mr. Mills, of Texas, for tbe issue of
small bills for circulation.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole on the Fitz John Porter
bill.
Mr. Wolford, of Ky., resumed his
peech in favor of tbe bill, contending
that the trial upon whioh General Porter
had been convicted had not been a fair
trial. Pope had been seeking a man
upon whom to put the blame for being
whipped, and selected Porter. He (Wol
ford) blamed Genls. Lee, Longstreet,
Jackson and all Confederate soldiers;
but Pope bad blamed a Union General
who had done bis duty nobly.
Mr. Negley. of fenn., and Mr. fuller.
of Iowa, opposed the bill as an insult to
every soldier who perilled bis life to
save his country,
The Committee then rose and at 4:io
the House adjourned.
In the treatment of all nervous and
muscular diseases, such as rheumatism,
neuralgia, sciatica, tio douloureux,
semicrania, etc, the value of Salvation
Oil cannot be over-estimated. It kills
pain. Price 25 cents a bottle.

teething. It soothes the child, softens
the gums, allays all pain, cures wind
