One Of D Eastern Carolina visitors

Apropos the subject mot of Ia
Backs mind you anne that cenia'
gentleman. Capt. Richard +. Saunders
the efficient representative OF the
Tpsher Guano Company OF Norfolk.
He has a fine exhibit OF twelve clAS-
Jars. containing the various iugre.
dielt. of their Fertilizers; 50 that the
spectator may see exactly wha; II Is
composed OF.
The usher company was organize
several years ago. with Mr.. {. L. Up
sher, well known in the trade, as Pres
ideut. The Factories are located at
Montant, opposite Norfolk, and have 4
capacity of 80, 900 tons,-a big out putt
1t embraces ) different brands; viz -
Bone and Peruvian Guano, Acid
Phosphate Potash Phosphate. etc.
Capt. Saunders was long known as
perhaps the best informed scientific
farmer CT Weke county. He is a
chemist by nature and education. He
says the Potash Phosphate' contains
everything necessary TO plant growth
except Ammonia which can be supplied
By cotton seed, stable manure etc.
And as Ammonia las arisen greatly in
price. the farmers can a money bv
using the home equivalent Upeher Il
Co, m )ort their kainit direct from the
mines near Hamburg, Germany. and are
now expecting several ship loads. They
also import their Peruvian Guano.
Capt. Saunders tells us the tpsher
Company embraces Iirginians and
North Carolinians well known TO our
people, and whose integrity may be re
lied on. The Captain, himself, dc
serves credit for stimulating-perhaps
pioneering--the manufacture of Fertil
lzer from Fish Scrap which is des-
tined to he a source Of immense we .lth
to Eastern Carolina. His company
already cffer to buy any quantity at
from S25 per ton, upwards.
when it is remembered that every
fishery from Cartaret to Currituck has
piles OF Fish otftl, or ~''scraps,' as big
IS a barn, it viii be seen that there is
money going to waste.

TIL STARS

Much interest was manifested 10 the
Star Premiums Of fjU IA gold to the
youth and the maiden under - years OF
age, who should exhibit the greatest
and best variety OF products wrought
By his and her own hands.
Gen. A. p. &. Bryan was IN charge
Of this feature. One Of the STARS
was offered by Maj Julian ;. Carr; tie
other by Mr.. A.. Creech. In addition,
the Society offered SO as a Second
Best Premium.
The young Iady's Star was award
ed to Miss Polk the young mans to
Mr.. Harris.
The $50 for next best was awarded
Miss Bessie Cain, Of Hill>boro. whose
many friends up and down the State
will be pleased to learn of it.
~The exhibits of Miss Kate Lambeth,
of Greensboro, and Miss Julia BowdcD,
of Warren, were deemed so meritorlous
that a special premium Of SO was made
up by contribution, through the efforts
Of Treasuser Wiley, and others.
Gov. Jarvis and Judge Gilmer made
the presentation speeches.
Our good friend, Col. Wharton
Green, OF Warren and Cumberland,
quite distinguished himself last week.
1t was not our privilege to be present,
but we hear his remarks on accepting
the Presidency of the Survivors, Asso-

ed, and his address TO the Queen at the
Coronation Ball was IA gem IN its way.

THE TOURNAMENT.

The Broadsword Display was not a
success. The track was deep with dust,
and there were other drawbacks Quite
a number of young men caule to the
city expecting to participate, but de-
cllned to pay the entry fee of SO when
they found that half dozen young zen
tiemen had become SO expert. by fire
quent practice, as to leave small hopes
for Impractical riders. The fee, in
deed, was two large; two dollars would
have been more suitable. And no ole
-hould be permitted to practice Oh the
track prior to the tourney.
The result Of the riding was the sue
