Propagating Cotton Seed.

\ New York Herald special form Char
lestown. ). G., Nov. 1, says:
4 south Carolina farmer, Mr.. Theodore
Ferguson Of Spartanburg, has made
discovery that will have an effect upon
the agricultural interests OF the south
that none can yet feretell. lie has pro-
,imced plant that yields cotton seed III
great abundance, but thOut sign OF
lint. His process has been tested and
been found satisfactory. 1t has berll
manipulated by the deterioration OF the
amount Of lint, to the multiplication OF
the seeds. This has been accomplished
by the gradual, careful and critical bree-
ding OF the plant. The results obtained
by Mr.. Ferguson have been through
scientific breeding. There are male and
female cotton plants, the male being de-
signated. he thinks, by the red stalks.
Mr.. Ferguson commenced some time
ago TO pick out the male plants and with
the seed extracted from them planted an
other patch separately. When this crop
was ready for picking the male plants
were again selected and their prOduc ION
OF seeds planted separately again. The
process of selecting male plants was
kept up until at last the lint refuses to
terminate and nothing is left in the bol's
save a large amount Of seeds. The
amount of seed contained in the boil Is
more then equal To the weight OF the lint
and the seed found il the average sized
boil of cotton.
Mr.. Ferguson believes that he can pro-
duce 100 bushels of seed TO the acre by
this new discovery where only thirty-hv
bushels are now gathered with the lint
lie has been very careful, in producing
the results given above, TO Obliterate all
yestiges Of lint from a boil OF cotton and
has succeeded III most remarkable
manner.

COUNTY.

Besides the ITO delegates. present
representative twenty-five Sub-Ali-
noes there were a large number of
visiting brethren aggregating 800 or
more in the meeting. Important mat
ters were considered and among them
a resolution pe~titioning the Board of
County Commissioners to aid in the
improvement of the public roads, and
another looking to the establishment
of an industrial school for the young
men of the county. These, and other
resolutions adopted, were the. subject
of considerable discussion.
At the next regular meeting of this
body, on the first Friday in July, the
annual election of officers will be held,
at which time, Capt. S. B. Alexander,
President of the State Farmers ALI
anee, is expected to be present.

COUNTY.

The Alliance in this county is fully
alive to the good work. At the
county meeting the liveliest interest
pervaded the body and the. following
resolution was adopted:
"ResolVed, That all agents and sub
agents of the Oranges and Alliances
in the county solicit subscriptions to
stock to build a factory for the manu-
facture a covering for cotton ; that
agents be requested to exert every
effort in their power to raise sufficient
funds by the first Monday in May,
and on that day all subscribers meet
in Tarboro to appoint a day to perfect
the organization"
At the outset it may be, stated that
after passing the above resolution, the
Alliance and Grange proved their faith
by their works, by getting nearly
$1,000 subscribed.

importance was tr~ansactef Weap-
propriated SO per cent. of HE net re.
ceipts of the County Alliance to the
Business Agency Fund, which viii be

AS the "institatien y grows. older, the
interest is manifestly warmer In, this
county, with an occasional sore-head
and grumbler. OF course we may
expect such in all organizations. Such
are of no benefit to themselves, society
nor to the State, and the sooner we
get rid of them the better. Selfish
ness always retards righteous causes.
We farmers away down here, within
hearing of old oceans pillows, propose
to have a farmers picnic after our
crops are laid by, at which time we
shall expect to see the faces of Capt.
s. B. Alexander, Col. l.. L. Polk and

hold themselves in readiness to answer

We have made very satisfactory
arrangements for our fertilizers;
bought them for less than last years
prices; saved enough money by buy
ing as an Alliance to pay our dues
for many years. There is the great
est determination on the part of our
farmers to raise their meat and bread
at home that l have ever seen, and
less attention paid to tobacco and cot
ton. A right step in the right direc-
ton. The amount of fertilizers and
market crop has been cut down much
more than usual. The wheat prospect
is the best for years; large oat crop
sowed; large quantities of clover and
orchard grass sowed and Sarge corn
crop planted. With good seasons we
may expect food for man and beast
to be plenty next year. ], w. A.

CRAVEN COUNTY.

Every Sub-Alliance was repre-
sented. The farmers will reduce the
acreage to cotton and increase that
devoted to grain and the grasses. Less
commercial and more home made ma
nures, will be used than for years. Of
course the truckers use commercial
fertilizers as their crops require an
active stimulant to induce early ma
turity which is one of the essentials
to their success. Old Craven is wax
ing up.

to the working of the Alliances in this
county, 1 will say that the Sub-Alli-
ances are in a prosperous and thirty
ing condition, Our last county meet
ing was largely attended by delegates
and members, and it vas far the best
and most enthusiastic meeting we
have ever had. I cannot close with
out mentioning the benefits that the
Alliance and farmers generally have
received through our Business Agent
at Wilson, where they can get their
surplus at a nominal cost. l am sure
it has saved to the farmers of Wilson
and the adjoining counties at least
500, O0O. 1 hope all the Alliance

let us all work together for our own
benefit Fraternally, =.

The Clerks association is looking up
The boy colt which has been in force
all over the country for nearly three
wears. A clerk who has spent some
time investigating the matter says that
a half interest in the boycOtted firm of
this city is owned by a st. Paul man
who is in sympathy with labor organi-
cations, pays higher wages than other
firms and handles only goods made by
union labor. Furthermore, he states
that the original motive for the boycott
has now disappeared and continue
ton of the boycott is unjust. The SEN
timent of organized labor may be stated
thus: While organized labor wishes to
do no injustice TO this firm, yet it would
hardly be justified in declaring off a
boycott without official notice from its
own headquarters. because general
boycott is never declared unless there
be strong pTOvOcatiOn for such action,
and if the difference has been satlstac-
tOrily adjusted the whole history can
easily be learned from K. of L. head
quarters. The matter will he thorough
ly investigated as soon as possible.
The clerks are getting fOTetaste of the
penalties of belonging to an organiza-
ton for their own protection. 1t is re-
ported on reliable authority that the
employees of the United States Clothing
company have been threatened with
dismissal if they attend the meetings
of the clerks ASSOCIATION. or take any
further part in-the early closing move
ment. The employees of some other IS
adjustments are also quakiDg in their
shoes for fear of some evil resulting
from their membership in the assOria-
ton. The clerks have SO lately organ
lied that they are perhaps somewhat
excuSable for their timdity. But to the
old and tried members of ORGANIZATION.
such little incident as the losing of
place or being bIackliSted is tOOOrdinary
an occurrence to cause comment, and
man is rated worthy of confidence and
esteem about in proportion as he has
proved his fidelity to his Orga iZati0n in
staying by it regardless of threats from
employers.
