THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER MARCHa1O, 1886

realize a long prlce Tor our laDOf, anu at
the same time live Independently of he
specializing sharks who profit by our
losses. In addition to this the Legisla-
lures of each of the Southern States
should be petitioned to make dealings
for future delivery, unless cotton is &C
tually on hand to sell and is actually de-
livered to the contracting purchaser, a
felony punishable by a fine and impris-
onment of not less than 81 600 and two
years in the penitentiary:
Poo much cotton, too little grain, grass,
meat. For years ob~servant, thoughtful
men have been waning our Southern
planters against too mich cotton, against
one special crop; Ycrap which has be-
come the subject of speculation and
whose price is governed by spectators.
There may be here and there an excep-
ton but as a rule our cotton planters
who confine themselves to cotton and
take their chances on the prices that
spectators may make can eve prosper,
can neve be Independent. The larger
the crop the worse it will be for them.
They have to pay stipulated wages, a
stipulated price for the fertilizers they
buy, the bread and meat they buy, the
feed for stock they buy. The prices for
these do not I'll with the price of cot
ton but sometimes advance and all
they have to pay the bill with is cheap
cotton which cost them more to raise
than they can get for it. From a bust
ness standpoint this looks like a super
lative lack of common sense, and yet
thousands of cotton planters are travel
ling in the same old ruts, working them
selves to death over broad cotton fields,
learning nothing in spite of the bitter
experience of each succeeding year.
There are thousands upon thousands of
planters in the cotton belt who have
been raising cotton ever since the war,
who to-day have not cash enough to pay
their fertilizer bills and taxes. And they
have nothing to show for the labor of
years. If they had abandoned the sense
less plan of trying to raise all cotton
dIlu IlotIllIS elSe, Vi increasing tuelf
acreage year after year, and had raised
less cotton and more of the necessaries
of life instead of buying them, this would
no. be so, but it will be so, and even
more so until they change their tactics
and use business sense in the operations
of the plantation. Men who hope to
prosper by %cultivating the soil cannot go
it blind and plant without regard to the
question of demand and supply. They
must exercise judgment and prudence
as other men in other avocations do who
are careful not to glut the market with
their wares and and run prices down be-
low the cost of production. Instead of
the cotton acreage being extended it
should be contracted better fewer bales
from fewer acres, which means better
prices and more money in the end, and
on the other acres which are taken from
cotton let grain, and grass be grown, and
hogs and cattle and horses be raised
this means independence and in the
long run wealth. Then the cotton plant
er, a mere cotton planter no longer, will
cease to be the victim of over-production
and of the SPECTATOR, the dealer in fu-
lures, but not until then.

Water, only,........... 1.39 "
The ares covered by these depos-
it's has not, as yet, been definitely
determined, but the indications are
that it will most probably exceed
that of the South Carolina deposits.
OF it's value in a commercial point
of view to u State, we may judge
by the which marked the
development of the deposits in our
sister State. Sixteen companies en-
ploying an aggregate capital Of
$4,000, 900, are engaged in working
these beds, and their products 90 to
more than half the States in the
Union using commercial fertilizers.
The State receives from these Com
panies a royalty amounting to
about $165, 900 annually. When
our deposits shall have been fully
explored, it will probably be found,
that the lands of Sampson, New
Hanover, Fender, Brunswick and
other counties, which hitherto have
been regarded as worthless, will de-
velop mines of wealth for our peo-
pie. With over a thousand miles of
inland navigable waterway, with a
fish interest bringing to its people
over one million dollars annually,
with its broad forests of magnificent
timbers, with it's immense deposits
of mari, more valuable than all our
rich mines of gold and precious met
ais, with it's three hundred miles of
coast-line along which hundreds of
thousands of of oysters may
be successfully planted, and whose
fruitful, fertile plains are so admira-
bly, adapted to the culture of early
fruits and vegetables, who can esti-
mate the possibilities of it's future?

NORTH CAROLINA PHosPHATEs

The natural sourches of wealth
which exist along our Eastern Dor
der, have not as yet been explored
and developed. The capabilities of
that fruitful and favored section r
incalculable. Gradually they are be-
ing brought to light. The develop
ments of the phosphate deposits of
South Carolina and the similarity
in the geological characteristics of
their locality to the section sur>
rounding Wilmington, induced sopfe
of our more i%nterprising citizens to
investigation with the view of dis
covering and locating if possible, de-
posits which they had reason to
believe, existed. DR.. T. d. Hogg, of
Raleigh, we believe was one Of the
foremost in the work. 1t was pros
ecuted under the auspices Of the
State Department Of Agriculture.
As a result, we now have a regular
ly organized Company, which is
erecting extensive and substantial
buildings, with all necessary machi-
merry, at u Capitol for the manu-
facture of fertilizers from this rock.
We learn that the capacity of the
mills is 20 tons per day. Its value
as a base in compounding fertilizers
for various crops is attested by it's

the "wllow tree" rocket, which ascends
about 600 feet in the air and eXplodes in
the shape of willow tree, maintaining the
picture until it dies away. The aster0id
rockets explode at vast height and set off
innumerable floating batteries The para
chute rockets set off floating stars. Besides
these there are many others, all new, novel
and beautiful. The most gigantic pieces
are the flight rockets. and MI. Robertson
has secured some of 500 and some of 1000
rockets such as have never been used III
America but once, which was on the COM
pletion of the Brooklyn bridge. One thou
sand rockets are shot into the air smulta-
neously. There are also very large shells
to be used similar to those beautiful pieces
shot from the ice palace last winter, only
much larger. These shells are ten inches
in diameter and five pounds of powder are
required to shoot one into the air, whittier
they are projected from mortars weighing
500 pounds apiece. During the display of
fireworks several deZen meteOric balloons.
thirty feet in diameter will be sent up from
the Sioux City railroad yards. The display
will begin at O'Clock and continue for an
hour and half. The whole length of
Robert street bridge will be required for
setting the pieces and thirty men will be re-
CURED to do the work. Any elevated posi-
ton in the whole city will furnish capital
point of observation, especially Summit

cluded that Roche had suspicious look
about him, and in a business-iike way in
CURED what he was roosting on the sidewalk
at that hour Of the night for, and Roche
promptly replied that it was none of his bus
mess. This repartee stirred the blood
in the veins of Rose, and he
promptly arrested Roche, and started for the
police station with him. Just as the caval-
cade moved off gang of newspaper men
came along, and Rose asked them if they
knew the prisoner. The boys looked him
over, and, shaking their heads, said they had
never seen him before. Rose took fresh
start with his prisoner, but he grew a little
suspicious, and at the distance of half block
he halted and inquired again OF the boys if
they knew the prisoner, and again they re-
piled negatively, but Roses suspicion was
not allayed, and, loosing his grip of Roche,
he said: ''I'll let yer go this time but eff L
catch yer standin' Ground on my beat this
time o night agin, spittin' in the gutter, I'll

Roche informed the officer that he would
stand around just about where he wanted to-.
and went his way after requesting the officer
to take him to the station and see who the
laugh was on. But the officer had caught on.

affords us pleasure, in speaking of our we'll
known citizen, Mr. Henry Thiel, who COM
menced in the retail liquor business in our
city in a rather modest way about eight
years ago, since which time he has, by his
gentlemanly treatment and by serving to
his customers pure goods. built up large
patronage at his old familiar rooms, No.
439 jackson street. He has now branched
out in a new direction. In other words, he
has opened most elegant sample room on
the southeast corner of Pearl and Temper
ance streets. This establishment is fitted
up in the most modern style and presents a
very comfortable appearance, ard his cellar
is stocked with the finest of imported wines,
brandies, gins, ales, and pure Kentucky
WHISTLES, of which he makes speciality.
Henry extends very cordial invitation to
his many friends to call and see him at his
new branch place of business.

RoEBED ON TIE STREET.

The Postmaster of IL Wisconsin
Tovyn Says We Fell Amemg Thieves
in st. Paul.
Early yesterday morning Emmett Roche.
a mason who boards at 416 Minnesota
street, was arrested on charge of highway
robbery. The complaining witness is Paul
FritZsche, who claims to be the postmaster
at Glover, Wis. FrtzSche has been i'm st.
Paul for several days. During his stay in
the city he has been stopping at Schuler's
hotel on Robert street, and about midnight
Saturday night he left to make call. The
lady he intended visiting lived at 107 or 40
Seventh street. and he stopped into Charles
Cooks saloon to see if he could ascertain the
exact location. Having known Cook in La
Crosse he had several drinks, and then in
Quired as TO the direction he should take.
According TO his story two young fellows
in the place claimed to know just where
the party he was in search of lived, and
under their guidance he started ou:. Cook
and the bartender, however. deny this part
of the story, and say he went out alone.
About l o'clock officer Jefferson heard a
scuftie on Minnesota street, near Seventh.
and started down Minnesota street toward
the scene lie saw two men running up
the street. and
CALLED ON THEM TO HALT.
The order however. caused them to in
crease their speed. and he gave chase One
of the men turned in an alley near the cor
ner OF Ninth and Minnesota streets, and the
officer fired shot at him. The fellow fell
to the ground as il wounded, and
Jefferson turned his attention to
the other one, who had by
this time, gained quite lead.
He fired several shots, but the fellow was
too far ahead and escaped. When the
officer returned to the alley expecting to
find the wounded man or corpse, he found
nothing but a large pocket-book belonging
to Paul FritZsche, and containing papers
and railroad passes. In the meantime
Fritzsche had reported at police headquar-
tiers that the two men who started with him
had robbed him of a pocket-book contain
ing $40 in cash. His watch and chain
were not taken, and there were no marks
on his face or neck which would indicate
the terrible struggle he claimed to nave
had with the highwaymen. Later, Fritzsche
identified Roche as one of the men who
robbed him, and the latter was locked up.
Roche protests that he is innocent of the
charge, and the officer who chased the two
fellows and had good view of them, says
Roche is not one of them.
