FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
SOUTHERN PINES, NC, July 25.
The cotton crop is now in its glory Of
foliage and blossom, and as one looks
over the extent of large field Of one,
two or three hundred acres, and notes
the pure white or the deep scarlet of the
blossoms he cannot be blamed if he calls
it the queen of products, Cotton once
was called king, but l would call it
queen and the lovolicst queen that ever
waved sceptre or wore Il crown,
But does it pay to raise cotton? That
is a question that viii require some care
ful figuring, and in future letter | will
state how the raising of cotton is consd-
cred by the best and most thriving people
of this land of cotton and tobacco,
A MYSTERIOUS POST.
While driving along the Pedee road,
in Moore county, one day recently, my
attention was directed TO post driven
deep into the ground on one side Of the
carriage way. On one side Of the post
deep notches had been cut with an ak
ten of them-and the post wore an aged
look as though it and its notches had
weathered the storms for several wears,
"At last! ut last" I mentally ex-
claimed, 81 have found it,"
Here certainly was the scene of some
celebrated historical event. What did il
mean? Was this the lost account.book
of some noted Indian slayer, and did
every notch originally represent dead
Indian, or a dead Indians scalp? Or wa,
| in the immediate vicinity Of some DARK
and tragic suicide of the long ago, anC
had the stake been driven through hii
body 10 mark the spot, ms tradition tell,
us the good old Britons used to mark tn,
theatres of such sad events?
With curiosity sticking ont all over II
as thick as hairpins stick out from tn,
head of pretty woman, turned to m,
travelling companion and inquired whu
the post was for.
"That post?" said he 'Nyhat is i
for? Why, it's guide board, Thos
notches show how many miles il is Il
Carthage"
"But there are only ten notches, and j
is fourteen miles to Carthage" ..,
"Then il must mean that it is tel
miles to Drowning Creek" he answer,
as nonchalantly ps though a traveller owe

This to the majority Of our readers is the corn
planting month No other crop so demands that
I'VE make haste slowly" as this. Corn being
tropical, or at least subtropical plant. it re-
quires higher temperature for its termination
and growth than do natives of temperate regions.
The Indians rule for planting, when the young
oak leaves are as large as a squirrels ear" and
the rule of the New England farmers. to plant
when the shad flower bush is in bloom. are only
different ways of saying wait until the ground
is warm BY whatever natural sign the time
may be fixed, it will be found that the season Is
so far advanced that the thermometer averages
sixty degrees in the shade. Corn is rapid
grower, and demands a large amount OF plant
food, and some Quick-ac fertilizer may be
proftably sown with the seed to give the young
plants good start The manure from the poul-
try-house may be best disposed of here.
Whether to plant in hills or drills should be de-
termined by the condition Of the soil. Planting
in drills gives more plants, and consequently d
greater yield to the acre, and is best on clean
land; hil.-planting allows the crop to be worked
both ways. and is preferable on weedy soils.
The chief enemies to sproutiug corn are various
cut-worms and grubs below ground, and crows
and black birds after it is up Tarring the seeds
will keep off insects pint of warm tar is
stirred with peck of seed, until every kernel
ia evenly coated then roll in plaster. Birds are
kept off by searceerows of some kind; gathering
windmills being among the most effective
Grass lands should be pat in order for the mower
by rolling: pick up fallen branches and whatever
rubbish will obstruct the machine. No see...sruie
farmer will pasture his mea9SSws IN spring A
hundred pounds Of nitrate of soda to the acre
will DO profitable application, as will bushel
