No Fence Law-Improved Stock.

INO 6AC0 LID otOCh.
I'm no county in the State is a more
rapidly growing interest in improving
the breeds of various kinds of stock,
than in Mecklenburg This interest
received a great impetus when the
people of that country resolved to do
away with their old fence system. We
mentioned the fact not long since, that
a farmer of that county had ordered
from England a pair of pure blood
of Mr.. r. B. Caldwell, and have ar
rived in safe condition and are very
handsomelThe boar was bred by
Jacob Dove of Bristol England and the
SOW by the celebrated breeder, Heber
Humphrey of England. Mr.. Caldwell
is a young man, and it is needless to
add a man of enterprise and intelli-
gence. He expects to make the rails
ing of blooded pigs a large part of his
business, and We predict for him the
realization of handsome profits form
his course. More grass, more grain,
more improved stock and we will
have less bankruptcy and less hard liv-
ing. Mecklenburg has wisely indica-
ted her purpose to take a new depart
ure from the systems that belonged to
another and totally different condition
of affairs, and we confidently expect

the near future for her.
With a few thousand of the right

pillow her surplus lands, and that grand
old county will become one of the
most prosperous in all the South.

DEAR SIR: Your letter c. the 18th
August reached me here a few days
ago on my return from Switzerland,
where | spend my autumnal holidays,
which will explain to you the delay
of my reply.
Perhaps the best answer | can give
to your inquiry is. that no manufactu-
rer, who understands his business In
ever SO moderate a degree, buys any
fertlllzing material except on the
basis of an analysis. Why, then.
should the analysis of fertilizers be of
great alt to manufacturers of fer
tllizers and of no value to the farmer?
The agricultural and commercial value
OF artificial mainly depends
upon their component parts and the
relative proportions of n chief fer
tlllZlng constituents. II the state of
combination in which they can
be determined by any good chemist
with sufficient precision 70 indicate
the comparative value of different fer
tllIZers. Chemical analysis, IN fact, Is
the only means of aS~certalnlng, with
certainty, whether a anu IS good
or worthless. and about what price
the consumer ought to pay for parti-
cular kinds of Ii Is lntelllgl-
Die to the weakest intellect that a
which contains 1 per cent. of
ammonia and 20 per cent. of phosphate
of lime is worth twice as much as the
price of phosphate of lime and ammo
MIA IN another n containing only
, per cent of ammonia and 10 per cent.
of phosphate of lime. and there is no
other mode of a~scertaining how much
of each Of these constituents a fertili-
Ger contains than TO submit it to
chemical analysis. l am surprised
that any reasonable man in your
try can entertain the foolish opinion
that chemical analysis is of no value
whatever to the farmer. | do not
think that such al opinion can be en-
tertalned by any manure m~anufactu-
rer with a good conscience. If il were
the case that the analysis of fertilizers

ANOTHER Suicide

Some of our readers will remember
Miss Clara Hawbaker, who formerly
lived In this city and in the vicinity. On
Sunday last her remains arrived here
from the west She took her own life at
the residence of our former citizen, John
Warneke, in Pueblo, ON the 4th inst. The
Pueblo Chieftain of the 9th gives the fol-
lowing particulars:
The deceased had formerly been in the
employ of Warneke during part of the
time he resided in Emporia, and in MAY
last he sent for her to work in his family
II Pueblo. Recently, however, she had
been in the employ of Mr.. S. c. Gallup.
Mr. Warneke's family knew nothing of
the poor girls insanity until informed of
the fact on the Sunday preceding her
death, when Mrs. w. at once had her
brought 10 her own home, with the In
tention Of taking care of her until she
could be sent to her friends near Empo-
ria. About two O'Clock in the afternoon
of Thursday, the inmates of the house
were startled by the report of pistol,
and on going to Clara's room, found her
lying on the floor with a pistol-ball in her
head. The ball entered just above the
left ear. The weapon with which the

mitted some fearful crime and was de

relatives but careful inquiry showed no
reason for any such hallucination on her
part. She always bore an excellent rep

who knew her. She was aged about %

EDITORS News Il have travelled
through the state of Kansas and have
stopped in several towns, and not one
presents a more favorable future than
Emporia. To-day it stands first of our
cities of its size in the state, in my esti-
nation. First the laws of the country
have made this law-abiding town, there
being fewer 'taverns" or gambling hells
than is the case in many western towns.
Yesterday visited the Emporia found
~, where was informed by a young
man that business was very brisk as a
general thing, and upon putting this
question to several merchants find bus
ness, in a sense of the word, just jump
ing along, as they say east.
Then l am told that your citizens con-
template forming stock companies, 9TH
ers propose starting shops for the manu-
featuring of all kinds of agricultural
implements. This would be one of the
grandest institutions ever gotten up. 1t
would settle the thousands of acres that
now lay idle, and the eastern people
would settle near city that could buy
their products. Manufacturers would
benefit this city in many ways. Her
population would increase rapidly, and
this would necessitate many other things
we would need, many more houses, many
more stores, and will venture TO say
that if one manufacturing institution be
started many others will follow suit.
Look at Pittsburgh, or even Philadel-
phia. Take the machine shops and other
manufacturing interests from them and
what will be the consequence? Well,
we have an illustration of this in Sacre-
mento, Cal. When the Central Pacific
railroad wanted to lay track through the
center of the city, the citizens thought
it would ruin the city, and the city coun-
Gil would not permit them to do so, and
to resent this insult, as they, the railroad
officials considered 1t, ordered all the
shops of the company moved from Sac
ramento to Oakland, same state, and
from that day Sacramento has been go
ing down, until business is In perfect
state of stagnation, while Oakland, which
was a quiet town before the erection OF
the shops, is now a flourishing city. And
Emporia can be made so too, if capital
can only be expended in the right way.
The time is not far distant when EN-.
poria will need both gas and water
works, and would it not be a great dis
advantage to send to other cities to erect
theseg / dare sare that to-day there are
one hundred thousand dollars idle in the
banks of Emporia that could be utilized
Some say, "well, we want few eastern
men, or some energetic men in ouI
midst" This, do not say, for we al
ready have plenty such men in Empo
ria, and think they viii not hesitate
much longer at the present time. A
skilled mechanic, at almost eny branch
of trade, has nothing to employ himself
at in Emporia, but from the way heal
your people talking il win not be long
before we will be aba 70 Gall upon our

The Philosophy of Newspaper Advertis-
Ing.

The Philosophy of Newspaper Advertis-
ing.
We recommend the following thought
full article to the consideration of bust
ness men:
One method of advertising is the hand
bill system, by which the hotels are daily
inundated. During the business season
one boy after another will go the rounds,
and in this way an attempt is made to
obtain trade. OF these, however, the great
er part are wasted, since the waiter gen
orally picks them up and throws them
INTO the street, and the next day fresh
inundation takes place. Experience has
clearly demonstrated that the most eff
cient method of advertising is found in
the iudicious use of the newspaper col
umns. The ground ON which newspaper
advertising, as a system, is based is hui
man confidence, since we cannot avoid
believing that which we constantly read.
This confidence is sometimes abused, but
still it is evident that a good advertise
ment will, if sufficiently repeated, carry
popular opinion. Men who advertise
with the greatest persistency eventually
reach success. There is a military prin-
ciple involved in this method, since the
article advertised should be presented to
the public by repeated assaults. The cor
rect view, which experience brings to
each man, is that advertising should be
included in the general estimate of ex-
pense, as regularly as store rent, clerk
hire and insurance. 1t is often said that
a good stand at a high rent is better than
a poor one rent free. Well, advertising
brings man before the public in a way
that makes any stand" good. The best
stand you can have is to be in the news
papers.-Troy Times.

Heavy Snow Storm

For days the clouds had threatened
snow and Thursday it began TO fall in
dead earnest. Those who went TO their
homes in the evening predicted heavy
fall, and they did not prophesey falsely
1t showed hard all night, and till 8 p
m. next day. Considerable wind prevail
ed, and drifts were formed in many places
two or three feet deep. 1t was one of the
heaviest falls of snow ever seen in this
country.
While this storm undoubtedly caus
ed much suffering among those un
prepared for it, yet it is cloud that
has a silver lining, because of its benefl
cial effects upon the ground and the
wheat. Good crops always follow heavy
SHOWS. We are to look beyond the tenn
porary suffering for the blessing.

Rad Sidewalks.

EDITORS NEWS: Il would like to call
public attention to the fact that the side
walks in the neighborhood of the A, T.
& s. F. railroad crossing, are in dilap-
idated condition-as we'll as in many
other parts of the city-but more espe-
cially at the above mentioned place. 1t
is not safe to walk down Commercial
street below 4th Avenue, after dark.
Last evening while 1 was standing in
front of the Windsor house a gentleman
came across the railroad, stumbled, and
gave his ankle a severe shock, which
might have proved serious. Such side
walks are disgrace within the limits of
Emporia, and think it is disgrace to
the A, T. s. S. F. company to have no
platform for the accommodation of pas
sengers; nothing better than to jump
from the train into the mud. hope the
company or our city council will look
into this matter before the citizens are
obliged to pay damages for broken
limb. ]. II. B.
