And on motion of Mr.. Campbell, the
nomination Of Mr.. Bachelor WAS
made unanimous.
For city attorney Mr.. Swerdfger
nominated G. r.. Middleton, aud some
one else put T. j. Porter's name up.
Mr.. Porter declined aud moved that
Mr.. Middleton be nominated by acclA-
nation which was carried. Geo.
BlaDck then arose and declined the
nomination for alderman Of the Sec
Ond ward, received at the ward caucds
on the 9th inst. Prof. Bach then
suggested that nominations for alder.
men TO fill vacancies be proceeded
with, but the chair ruled that mas.
much as the meeting had convened for
the specific purpose of nominating the
city ticket at large 1t could not act on
ward nominations. A motion to adj
journ then prevailed and the crowd
dispersed in good order. As will be
seen by the record OF the votes the
convention was pretty much OF one
opinion a. regards candidates, and
transacted the business tremendously
and expedltiously, nominating what
may be considered a first class ticket,
and one to which there can be no OBJ
lection or opposition.

Co., Of Greensboro, N. c., have decided
to sell a few county rights to saw mill

on these machines and believe it is the
comming fence. We are also acquainted
with the officers of this Company, and
they are worthy and responsible gentle
men. Saw mill and lumbermen, as we'll
as all others using fencing, would do we'll
to investigate the merits of this fencing
and arrange for manufacturing same. If

The Charlotte Chronicle is RESPONSE
BILE for the statement that a MI. Marsh of
that city, a few days ago, accidentally
discovered that a stone, the size Of a -four
barrel, which for years has lain in his
back yard undisturbed, is about two
thirds pure gold. Mr.. Marsh happening
to have a hammer in his hand, without
any special object in view, struck the old
black rock and knocked off a piece about
the size of a mans fist. The peculiar for
nation attracting his attention he took
up the fragment and was greatly sur
prised to find that it was literally filled
with crystalized gold. "The rock which
is of a spongy formation is literally stud
ded with the virgin gold, the gold being
formed in the shape Of crystals, needle
like, and could be picked from the rock
with a knife" The Chronicle says that
the singular discovery created a good deal
of excitement in Charlotte and a strong
guard was placed yer it on the nightfol-
lowing it's discovery.

W. propose to establish for the con-
venience and. benefit of u farmers
and other patrons of The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER a column exclusively devoted
to their wants. It is a public neces-
sity as will be seen at a glance. There
is not a farmer, perhaps, in the whole
State, who reads this paper, who would
not gladly use it at some time during
the year and greatly to his benefit.
Has he a calf or pig, Or grain of any
kind or chickens or anything else to
sell or which he would like to exchange
for something else? The ordinary
methods of advertising are too costly,
perhaps, for him to use them. It may
be that the man who is also anxious
to make the exchange or to buy or to
sell the very thing he wants is his
neighbor and lives in the same neigh
borhood and both take and read The
Progressive FARMER. How easily
they could both be accommodated, if
they had a cheap and convenient
medium through which they could
make known their wants. In view of
the large and rapidly increasing circu-
lation of our paper, we say we feel
that a permanent column of this kind
IS a public necessity, and we propose
to offer to meet it.
Here is our plan: Under the above
head we will insert advertisements at
one cent per word for each insertion,
the cash to accompany the advertisement
These advertisements may be written
very briefly and yet be very plain and
comprehensive. For example:
wanted-Toe exchange 10 bushels Red oats'for 5
A. SMITH, Denver, N. c..
Wanted-To exchange pure blood jersey Heifer
Calf, 8 months old, for good one horse wagon.
A. E. JONES, Cairo, n. G..
wanted-To buy a trio of Plymouth Rocks or a
9 B.. E. c., Raleigh, N. c..
wanted-Tos sen some pure clawson Wheat.
AS soon as our readers begin to- fill
up this column, it will. be read 10y
every man who takes the paper. So
we now open a column for our patrons
in which they can advertise their wants
to 5000 readers weekly for a mere
trihe.
Send in your wants at once. This
column and these rates are offered
exclusively to the subscribers Of The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER.

OTERPRODU CTI0N OF COTTON.

TnE New York Chronicle, reviewing a
paper by Mr.. Wells, who fears something
like overproduction OF cotton, shows
THAT in October, 1872, after crop Of
6,277, 900 bales, the supply carried over,
visible and invisible, amounted TO ., 49,
900 bales. Nor was this unprecedentedly
large. For the next five years the supply
did not fall below 2,3O0,0OO bales. But in
more recent times we find that even after
the enormous crop OF 1883 (10,40S, 900
bacs), the amount carried over was only
2,40j,00 or less than IL was in 1872;
while in subsequent years II has not
reached 1000, 900, and, including the cur
rent year, has probably not averaged
$4,000, Of which over $4,000 bales is
invisible. In other words, this shows u
loss Of nearly 100000 bales since 1883,
about all OF il in the visible supply, leaving
only about 200, 900 bales in sight THAT is,
stock in ports and ailoat all over the
world for spinncrs current takings- "A
wholly inadequate amount for tho free
working of the mills, rs each summer
proves and every one in the trade knows.
Or, consider II from another point Of view.
Compare the years OF commercial depres-
sion now with those of the preceding
period Of the same character we find that
the absolute surplus has diminished 20
per cent, that the total crop has increased
about 10 per cent, and that the proportion
Of surplus TO total crop has diminished 30
per cent. Whatever such facts mean,
they clearly do not mean relative over
production.
