The officers and crew of the steamer put on
a warhke appearance and refused to take

taken up in tho crowd, which resulted in
money enough to pay the passage of loo of

TOBACCO IN MECKLENBURG.

The enterprising firm of Carson
Bros, of this city, are making the
initiative move. They have dis
tributed, within the past month or
so, tobacco seed to three hundred
and eighty-one farmers, who have
expressed a desire and willingness
to grow the weed This number
includes more than one-tenth of
the farmers of Mecklenburg county.
This is an auspicious start. If only
half are successful-and it is reason
able to suppose that this is a small
estimate-there will be a sutficiency
to support a good market here.
This will be followed up by the
opening of a warehouse in this city,
in the early fall, by these gentle
men, who propose to open market
here for the sale of tobacco. Mr..
G. M. Carson has just returned
from visit to Danville, where he
has been gaining a knowledge of
the warehouse business. The pros

A MODEL FARMER OF JONES
COUNTY.

Mr. EDIToR:-In the person Of J.
B. Banks, Of Jones county, and other
citizens whose interest is identified
with the successful farmer of Jones,
may feel pround to know that Mr..
Banks has made as great success as
farmer as any man in Eastern North
Carolina Within twenty years, he
has bought and paid for five large
plantations Land fifteen years ago,
that was worth about one dollar, by
improvement, is now worth $50 per
acre. Land fifteen years ago that
would not sprout COW peas, now
yields one bale Of cotton per acre.
He will soon have new ground
consisting Of one hundred and twenty
acres. Before using cotton seed for
manure, he grinds them. He sells
every year bales of cotton by the
hundred. May his success light the
pathway and encourage the hearts
of other farmers. =.

to sell one hundred bushels per day
and thereby encourage the farmers
to grow fruit and vegetables which
pay handsome profit. 1t would
also give employment to needy
women and children and keep in
North Carolina thousands of dollars
that go North annually for canned
goods besides drawing money from
outside the State. Small canning
establishments are within reach Of
every town and community. (Quite
number Of farmers near Baltimore
put up canned goods on their farms,
North Carolina farmers can do the
same). Practical Gamers who will
give their time against the money
necessary to start a cannery can be
secured. The average Gamer can
fix up all necessary machinery to
run for the first year at a cost of not
exceeding $500 The running ex-
penses may be paid from the sales
of canned goods. Commission mer-
chants will take the goods and adj
vance enough to cover the current
expenses. An outlay of money is
needed to purchase fruits until a
return can be made from the goods
shipped. All expenses necessary
would reach probably four to five
hundred dollars. There is no risk,
the canned fruits will not spoil. l
will be glad to correspond with any
party in North Carolina who would
like to learn more concerning the
canning business or to visit any town
where the citizens would interest
themselves in starting canning
factory. Now is the time to act SO

1t is an all-important matter to see
that the planters do not make the
holes for the plants deeper than the
plants are long, and when the plants
are inserted, be sure the dirt is
well put to the roots, but not packed
too hard, as the growth will be re-
tarded should there be drought of
a week or two after planting.

CORN E-PRACTICAL
HINTS.
NO. z.
For the Progressive Farmer.


Mr.. EDITOR Corn is one of our
most useful and usual plants to cul-
tivate, and it is astonishing how
slovenly and unsystematically it is
planted and cultivated. Every man
has habit of his own, and his habits
vary as much or more than the
seasons. If we plant tobacco, we
pulverize the soil, remove the roots,
stumps and rocks; but we hurry in
the corn (the seed taken from the
crib just as some green employee
comes to it), amid clods, trash, rocks
and half plowed soil, and the wonder
is that it makes any corn at all.
The fewest number of men know
how to thin their corn. And some
planters knowing that they have
planted their corn on the hard
ground, undertake to make amends
for it by persistent blowing. Four
merciless "goings over" must be
inflicted, by old timed implements
that enter the soil more from main
strength than mechanical adaptation
And as they tangle and break the
tender plants with their "laying by"
castigation, they drive away from
the field, with very little grass to
hinder the maturity of a bountiful
yield But alas! one-third of the
plants are barren another third
flourish only pitiable "nubbins,"
while the other third, instead Of
showing fine ears of uniform per-
fectness, show diversity of variety,
as we'll as the disadvantageous cir
cumstances that have surrounded
them. Fifteen bushels to the acre,
while the same soil was good for
forty-fve, with common sense treat
ment.
Corn yields best in rows 6 feet
apart, and so crowded in the drill
as to make the entire growth com
port with the activity Of the soil.
The atmosphere which aids very
largely in the formation of fruit,
must come freely in contact with the
ripening corn. And as to the bar
barity of four toilsome and unnatural
"plowings," the corn needs but one.
If the soil is prepared, one good
blowing when the plants are very
small, and the harrow run through
them in fortnight thereafter, leav
ing the surface of the earth level,
not disturbing the tender rootlets
(Which run often two or three feet
from the stalk) and keep down
weeds and grass with the hoe. and
slightly stirring the surface about
the base of the corn, it can have an
opportunity to grow and mature:
But with the most philosophical
systems, farmers needn't look to
make full crops of heavy, well-formed
corn, and plant such run dorm varie-
ties as an ignorant negro may gather
up, from the front end Of the crib,
the day they 60 to plant. Better
pay ten prices for the seed of i'm
proved and trained corn.

The people of Ohio should understand
perfectly that there is ne shadow of
reason for throwing ont the German pre-
cincts to balance the flight from Fourth
Ward, A, forgery.
The excuses uttered are contemplate
utterly so-shamefuliy so. They con-
sist of frauds perpetrated by Democrats
since the election, chiefly in burglarizing
the ballet boxes.
The Democratic officers of election in
the very precincts counted out in the in
terest of fraud have repeatedly testified
that there was nothing wrong in the
returns when they were made. Now a
few scratches by forgers who had access
to the boxes in the interest of the Gang,
are thrust upon the State as the reason
why tho precincts must be thrown out
on formulated principle" This seems
to be the meanest method of fraud yet
invented. 1t is concentration of lying,
stealing. forgery and burglary. 1t is
upon this compost of crimes that the
Democratic party proposes to build for
the future in this State.-Cin. Com. Ga
