hundred warriors, while the combined

specific manner could not be said.

Do the Farmers Really Pay the Tax?

For some time past there have been ru-
mors that the Fertilizer makers were 6nding
out how to manipulate certain ingredients
in a way to make the chemists ANALYSES show
up well, without really improving the ar
ticle. OF this we know nothing: but the
fact that the manufacturers have almost en-
tlrely ceased to oppose or complain of the
Department of Agriculture. is a bad sign
for the farmer. Anybody who knows the
must know the Fertilizer men would kick
against the $500 tax, II thcy uere loosino It.
There are millions ofdollars worth of Fer
tlllZers sold IN the State every year. The
The Statesville Lundmdrk saws.
The name of the President IS Wm G
Crenshaw and the brand he represent is the
we'll known and deservedly popular ,Eu-
reka,' which brand, according to the an
alysis of Prof. Lcdoux, stands in the lead of
the other brands sold in the State. He

companies selling IN THIS ,Stote. coace,ui,g

dJle them to loose nOthing Lg the tar. To
even suppose that these fertilizers compa-
MES should pay a tax of five hundred dol
lars each for the privilege Of selling in the
State and not raise their prices to cover the
same IS most arrant nonsense and beyond
the pale of reason.
Now, we hope that we have proven. to tin
satisfaction Of all fair-minded men. that the
present system Of the Agricultural Depart
ment is a stupendous failure; nay more. q
fraud upon the farmer.
Our lands can not produce a fair crop
without the aid of fertilizer, When the
price of this commodity is advanced to meet
the tax, the sum has to be paid by the con-
sumner or farmer. This Department has al
