Milburn, the blind Chap

--Rev. Milburn, the blind Chap
lain of the House of Representatives,
continues to awe and astohish the
members of that august body by his
vigorous TRADES against drinking and
gambling. In hts prayer the other
morning he opened his heart as fol-
lows!
Oh, God! answer, we beseech Thee,
the suppiications of millions OF hearts
ascending ID Thee for the speedy CLOSE
of that greatest evil of modern society
drunkenness. Linked with almost
every vice and crime, In a loathsome
compact with gaming houses and
brothels, It burdens the criminal dock
cts of courts of justice, throngs the
poorhouses, Warehouses, jails and glib
bets, drives men to despair through
the snake wreathed portals of deliri-
um trcmens, unbars the posterns of
life that they may stink into the COW
ardlv grave Of suicide. Beginning
most often in All aluring taste in the
jocund bond of good fellowship, it
becomes an appetite and master pas
sion which destroys the hody, darkens
the intellect, blinds the moral sense,
deadens The soul, drives God out OF
mems spirits and paraiyzes the will,
binds men and women hand and foot
and casts them into hell, leaving an
entail of despair and wretchedness tc
their children.

The action of the San Fran
cisco clergymae who forwarded pro-
Chinese petition to the President, has
very naturally excited considerable
Indignation among the white working
men of that city. The report says the
clergymen need ask no longer why the
masses fail to attend or become mem-
Der. of their churches. 1.-THE answer
is that these clcrgymen have no SYM
pathy with the masses, are actually
opposed to them, and would calmly,
and even with pleasure see every
white workingmau in California re-
placed with yellow Coolie, so that
the rich mea WHO pay big pew rents
and support she preachers in luxury,
remain and keep up their subscrip'
tons. The workingman is only toe
apt TO feel, and has only too much
reason to feel, that there is truth in
what a German author said about the
churches not long ago, viz: 'They are
portion Of the capitalists police
force. They are a medium through
which the rich man cheats the poo
man, by giving him bills Of exchange
on heaven by way of paying hin
what he owes him on EARTH"

SALE OF SWAMP LANDS.

Maj. S. M. Finger, State Superin-
tendent of Public instruction and
Secretary of the State Board of Edu-
cation, offers for sale a body of A.
1873 acres Of swamp land, constitut-
ing Angola Bay, in Fender and Du-
plin counties. The lands have been
partially drained, canals having been
cut by State convicts. bitches cut
and leading into these canals will
perfect the drainage. Much of the
land is pronounced very fertile, and
much of it heavily timbered. Bids
will be received until July 1, 1886;
terms cash.
This calls for a few remarks in
which we do not wish to be under
stood as rejecting upon Maj. Finger
or the Board of Education, for they
are proceeding in conformity to law,
but simply to call attention to what
we regard as a mistaken course in
the disposition of these swamp lands.
Not very long ago the Board of
Education sold a body of heavily
timbered lands in Robson county,
susceptible of drainage, at a small
outlay of cash, twenty-five thousand
acres, if we remember correctly, at
the price of twelve and a half cents
an acre, to three men, two Northern
and n native, who formed the com
pany. This was not selling, it was
giving away the land. If it was
worth anything it was worth more
than that, and if these men could
buy it at twelve and a half centsgan
acre the State could certainly Hold
it at that price. IF these men, three
in number, could buy with a view to
draining and utilizing with their
means, the State, with twelve humid
red convicts on her penitentiary roll
ought to be able to do it as we'll, if
not better, and as cheaply, If not
more cheaply. There was timber
enough on that land, if the descrip-
ton was correct, to pay bach the
purchasers in time a hundredafold
the amount of purchase money!
Here we have d tract of 44738

SOUTHERN PROSPERITY.

The Baltimore Manufacturers Rec
ord published a report of Southern
progress some time ago, which was
questioned by some papers, a Geor-
gia paper being quoted IS saying that
the farmers of that State, instead of
growing more prosperous, were grow
ing poorer every year. The Record
then wrote to Z. j. Henderson, Com
missioner Of Agriculture, for such
information as he might have bear
ing upon that question. He prompt
ly replied, saying that while there
doubtless were some farmers who
were not as we'll off as they were
a few years ago, the farmers of the
State generally were in a better con-
dition, and the State as a whole i'm
proving, as shown by the increased
valuation of taxable property. The
farmers had suffered by devoting too
much attention to cotton to the ex-
clusion of other crops, paying large
commissions to commission mer-
chants for handling, and large profits
to other merchants for supplies
bought on credit, but that this sui
cidal policy was slowly giving way
TO a more sensible and Independent
system. They have learned the
necessity of diversified farming, of
raising their own home supplies, and
are profting by what they have
learned. ~.

SWEET PorAroEs-To PREVENT
THEN FROM " RUNNING OUT.

No time is to be lost in preparing
the land for this crop. 1t should De
we'll and thoroughly broken n
pulverized. Do not put out your
| Slips while the ground is wet-lt
should be in good condition or
| ploughing when this is to be done,
| otherwise the earth that is packed
around the roots of the slip Will,
when the ground dries, become hare
and baked-the plant will turn yell
low and shed it's leaves and be
greatly retarded in it's growth.
If you have the potato that suits
you and you wish to keep it up to
its standard and improve it, it can
be easily done by the following
| method:
When preparing your land for the
crop reserve a sufficient space for
your seed crop. If the slips have
been properly set they should, under
favorable conditions, begin to throw
out vines sufficiently long to enable
you to get "cuttings" by the first Of
July. Prepare your beds or rows
as for the original crop. Put into a
barrel filled with water, about a half
bushel of good stable manure. Put
iato this all the corn-cobs it will
hold. AS. they absorb the water,
put in more, so as to get them thor
oughly saturated. With the corner
of a hoe chop out a place for each
plant about 16inches apart, along the
row. Now go owe your patch and
cut the vines about Is to 20 inches
in length. Take the cobs in a handle
basket (breaking those which may
be too long) and have some one to
90 with you to handle the vines.
Take a vine, place it midway on the
cob and wrap it around n time,
put it in the place made to receive
it. Cover it with the loose earth,
leaving two joints on each end of
the vine exposed or uncovered. No
matter how dry and hot the weather
may he the vine will grow off beau
tifulIy. The cob supplies sufficient
fertilized moisture to give the vine
a start, and if you would see how
charmingly this method works, go
and take up n of the cobs forty
eight hours after planting and you
will find at each joint of the vine
which is in contact with the cob,
little rootlets formed and penetrating
the interstices of the cob. Ordi-
narily n good working will be
sufficient for this crop. From this
crop get all your seed potatoes.
Keep up this cheap and simple
method and you will always have
good potatoes. The tubers will be
generally round and smooth, and
the best formed of these should be
selected for your seed. 1t is simple,
cheap and safe. Try it and be con
WINGED, and write to The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER the result of your trial.

acres, in which the State, with con
Wet labor, has cut canals and ditcbo.
SO as to make perfect drainina
comparatively cheap and easy mat
ter. And then we have the WHO'LL
tract put up in a bunch i~nvitine
bidders till the LIST of July next 8
In reply to a letter of inquiry to
Major Finger, he informs us that
there have been 96,O92 yards ~
earth excavated in cutting Canals
and bitches, and that a road Nina
miles long has been completed. The
surveyor estimates:
1858 acres of the tract as frvt
class timber land.
2O,O5O acres second class.
10000 open land.
How much this work has cost tbo
State we do not know.
What means of advertising tho
sale have been adopted we do NOT
know, except through a poster which
Maj. Finger has kindly forwarded to
us, dated April 10th, 1886. Rather =
short time, it seems to us, to circu.
late generally the announcement Of
the sale of such a large body of land
and secure competition in bidding
AS the land is to be sold in one bodTy
of course it practically prohibits anv
but " capitalists from bidding on
it, and consequently only capitalists
are invited to bid. The result will
be that a few capitalists will put in
bids, and if the lands are sold. (tbe
Board the right to reject
bids if not satisfactory they will
get them at figures hat will yield
vast profits to them and add but lit
tie to the school fund. How much
better it would be if the State, with
it's convicts, which she has to feed
somewhere, continued the work of
drainage by cutting these bitches
referred to into the canals which
have been opened, a small work
compared with digging the canals,
and then when the drainage was
perfected cut up the large tracts into
small tracts, so as to be within the
reach of people of limited means,
and put them upon the market. Then
the lands if they were worth any
thing, fertile " as represented to be
and heavily timbered," would find
competitive bidders, and the Board
of Education might realize some
thing out of the sale.
These lands are either good for
something or they r good for
nothing. If they are good for some,
thing the State should get some,
out Of them ; if good for moth
ing the State should not offer them
for sale under the representation
that they may be made valuable.
From a business standpoint there is
good sense in it.. North Carolina
is not a bankrupt State and is not
compelled to sacrifice even swamp
If she was, there might be
some apology for parting at a trife
with property which, if judiciously
managed, might be made a source
of handsome income.
