THEMAGIC BEAN STALK.
Aatonishing Growth OF the HaVal
Stores Business In Charleston.

Astonishing Growth or inc N"'"
stores Business I'm Charleston.
The dearth OF local news which always fol-
lows In the wake of the Christmas holidays
Induced a reporter Of The NEWS to Set OUT
yesterday on voyage of discovery In the
northeastern section Of the city. There are
many gratifying signs of progress IN this Sec
ton, but the one which, like Aaron's serpent,
swallows up all the rest or causes them 10
dwindle into insignifcance is that exhibited
In the many thousand barrels of naval stores
that are to be seen on almost every side.
First Is the freight yard OF the Northeastern
Railroad depot, at the east end Of Cnapel
street, where one can walk over an area OF
from five to eight acres upon barrels OF rosn
and turpentine, Notwithstanding that con.
slgnees are Invariably required to remove
their consignments from the yard within q
day or two after the arrival. Lower doWh,
at the east end Of Calhoun street, upon
Marshslrs, Gadsden's and Vennlng's wharves,
are the extensive storehouses and yards
of Messrs. Whilden & Jones, two enter
prising and successful young merchants,
who have, in the course Of two years, built up
business of over four hundred thousand dol
lars annual sales of naval stores. Still lower
down. at the foot of Laurens street, Is the
wharf of Messrs. Falrchlld & Hamlin. This
has recently been leased by Messrs. Barden d
Parker, another highly successful firm OF naval
stores dealers, and converted into an exten-
slye naval stores depot. The bulk OF this
kind of merchandise reaches the city by way
of the Northeastern Railroad and the Peedee
steamers, but the South Carolina and the sa-
vannah and Charleston Railroads also bring
lp large quantities, which are yearly increas.
ing. An excellent idea Of the large and
steady Increase of the naval stores business OF
Charleston may be obtained by COM
parison of the following figures, which repre-
sent the exports for the arst four months Of
the past three seasons: 1901, a. ,554 bbls. /;
ls7l-7e, 3s,14s bills; 1S72-73, A,l56 bbls.
These figures show an Increase ofaoout thirty
three and one-third per cent. over last year,
and nearly one hundred per cent. over the
year before. The naval stores dealers OF this
cIty have hitherto been much inconvenienced
By the want Of sufficient store room for the
article, In consequence of city ordinance
which prohibits the landing or storage Of 1t at
any point lower than Laurens street. This
ordinance, however, appears to be wholly un-
necessary, as naval stores, In storage, are no
more liable to take fire than cotton, which is
stored all over the city, and at the last meet
Ing of City Council bill was introduced by
Alderman swee to provide for the land.
ing and storage of naval stores upon any
wharf In the city, which will probably be
passed at the last meeting In the present
month.

tho Sayannah Fair.
At the Savannah Fair Grounds on Weanes-
day foot race Of one mile for purse of fifty
dolla-s took place, the contestants being Mr..
Barrett, of Charleston, and Mr.. O'Hara, New
York professional, who halls from Nashville.
The aggregate amount Of the outside bets was
about 'one thousand dollars, and there was
consequently much excitement. The choice
of position fell to Mr.. Barrett, who got the
inside track, and he led of handsomely, Keep
ing the lead for about quarter Of mile,
when he showed signs OF giving out, and
commenced to lag. O'Esra soon passed bis
opponent In fast dog trot, and won the race
.by a Quarter of mile. The reascn assigned
for Mr.. Barrett's losing, is that he became
embarrassed by an accident TO his clothing,
and Immediately after the race he offered to
double the stake and run again.
Subsequently another race at one hundred
wards for purse Of one hundred dollars came
off between the same parties, and Barrett won
with ease by thirty feet.

Deer Greek Farmers Club.

The Deer Creek Farmers Club held their re-
gular meeting at the farm of Mr.. r. j. Rogers,
Saturday, December 9Th. In the absence of the
President, Mr.. Ball was elected chairman, pro
tenn. Minutes of the last meeting were read
and adopted. The question appointed for dis
cusson, viz, Manner and Time of Ploughing,
elected much cOmment-a majority advocating
deep ploughing with liberal applications Of fer
tiliZers.
Mr.. Nelson referred to the beneficial effects
of subsoiling on certain crops. which had come
under his observation.
Mr.. Rogers was Of opinion that deep plough
ing secured depth of soil; advisable to plough
up little clay, the character of which is i'm
proved by exposure.
Mr.. Munnikhuysen argued that deeply plough
ed ground would not wash as badly as that
which was ploughed shallow.
Mr.. Barnes advocated deep ploughing of sod
ground, as the vegetable matter would decay
more thoroughly, and attract moisture, but in
depth of ploughing would be governed by quail
ity OF land and depth of soil.
Mr.. Moores observed deep ploughing would
encourage roots to penetrate deeply and secure
fertility.
AS to time of ploughing for corn, whethcrit
should be done in fall or spring, it was gener-
ally conceded that different qualities of land re-
quired different treatment, some might be i'm
poverishcd by fall ploughing, while stiff clay
or bottom land might be improved and pulvcr-
lied by frosts of winter.
Mr.. Nelson on behalf of committee on the
County Agricultural Fair, reported proceed
ings which met with acceptance.
Mr.. Parker stated that meeting Of the Joint
committees of the Farmers Clubs, was held in
Bel Air, and it was resolved that the Legislature
be petitioncd for an enabling act, authorizing
the County Commissioners to issue Bonds to
the amount of 100000, to be applied TO the
building of a Rail Road from the Susquehanna,
at or near the mouth of Deer Creek, 10 run BY
way OF Bel Air to some point on or near the
