HOW THINGS LOOK FROM
OUR STAND POINT.
The Opinion of The Caucasian and
the Opinion Of others which we
Can Endorse on the Various
Topics Of the Day.

The recent negro national CON
ventiOn, in its manifes to issued
to the public, complains that
that the race does not get fair
treatment i'll the courts, i'll poll
tics nor III the educational line
They claim that the labor sys-
TEN is unjust, that they are sub
ject to taxation without repre-
sentatiOn. They petition Con
gre5s to pass the Blair Bill, to
put negroes 1--WE suppose an
equal number with whites) on
the jnries, to prohibit separate
railroad cars for whites and
blacks and to defeat the Butler
negro wholesale Emancipation
Bill, &c. There we're some
Southern negroes present who
disapprOved the statements in
the manifesto and tried to get
the floor to point out untrue
statements in it, but the proju
diced and blind leaders would
not hear them.
Their claim Of being subject,
ed to taxation without repre-
sentation is simply ridiculous
and as to their not getting their
share of the school fund, show S
their utter disregard for the
truth. In this county (and we
suppose it will fairly represent
the condition in the whole
South the school tax is about
| $4,000. Negro property pays
about $40 Of this amount, yet
the negro schools are larger
than the whites. The fact is
the negro, if that convention
represents him, does not know
what he wants. We guess
that he needs a master.

COTTON SEED MANURE.
Its Value as Plant Food as Compared
with Others.

In reply t. a correspondent
inquiring as to the value of cot
ton seed manure, the Southern
Cultivator says:
"The manure from fattening
beef, fed on cotton-seed meal
and hulls, is much richer than
ordinary COW manure. II all til e
manure, both solid and liquid,
be saved and made perfectly
dry 6y eva Grating tue water,
the result would be about one
half the weight of the cotton
seed meal and the hulls Con-
sumed by the animal. About
three-fourths to seven-eigh this
of the nitrogen, and practically
all of the pfosphoric acid, pot
ash and other animal matter in
the food consumed, will appear
i'll the manure, it being in the
dung. The quantity of water,
however, and other worthless
matter, sand, clay, litter, etc,
would reduce the richest Of the
manure far below that of the
food consumed. After all, such
manure is no richer than that
from a well-fed horse. There
fore you need have no appre-
hensions of applying too much
to cotton, corn or potatoes. II
would he well to compost or
mix the manure with acid phos.

as 1T is relatively deficient II

We were out a few evenings
since at the farm of Mr.. Rich
ard Holmes, known as the "Dr.
Bunting Place We were sur
prised To see his fields green
with vegetation, as If it were
early June. He has about four
acres of garden peas Cfor the
Northern market) from eight to
twelve inches high. He also
has a large field of rye OH which
his lambs and other stock were
feeding and sporting. 1t was
really invigorating-it would
have cured a man of the "blues''
to have seen those green fields
in this; the bleakest part of the
year. He will plant another
another crop Ola this land after
the peas are off. Mr.. Holmes
tells us that last year, when he
took charge of the place, that it
was "run dowc," and that the
best of the land had not, the
year before, made five bushels
Of corn to the acre. He pro-
ceeded to manure, as far as he
could, by putting twenty-five
bushels of cotton seed and one
hundred and fifty bushels of sta
BILE manure, composted, to the
acre, and what he could not ma
nure that well he would not
'stend." BY stable manure he
does not mean lot manure, which
is often almost worthless, but
manure made from cows, horses,
sheep, goats and hogs kept in
couered stables, houses and pens.
He would not take 5000 to-day
for the manure in his stables,
and it is, we believe, worth more
than the amount of commercial
fertilizer you coulG buy for $500
In spite of bad crop year he
increased the yield Of that same
land five fold last year. This
year, with ordinary luck, he
hopes to make $50 per acre or
his peas, and after that crop is
off to then make a bale of cot
to the acre or from forty to fifty
barrels of corn.
The secret of the whole thing
is intense farm1ng.-plenty OF
manure and have something
growing all the time. There
should be a rye field on every
farm in the county. 1t not onl!
saves corn and fodder, but keep
the stock healthier. They II ae(

and ask u question:
STATEMENT-Statistics show
that the total wealth of this
county is greatly increasing each
year. The same statistics show
that the farmers and laborerS
have been growing poorer each
year for a qual ter Of a century
yet agricultural prosperity is
the basis Of all prosperity.

wealth produced?

"Without Col. Polk the ALI
ance could not be what it is. He
is the ablest organizer and one
of the mosv magnetic orators in

ate"
This is news to rs. The Alli-
ance could not be what it is
without Col. Polk, indeed?
Brother, say that Col. Polk
could not be who he is without
the Alliance. There is no man
in the whole organization so
greatly indebted to it.
Tie Alliance could he what it

was not called into being at the
will of any man or set of men,

The following example will
serve to show in a degree how
much our various tables Of
weights and measures are based
upon the numbers 6 and 10 and
their multiplies aud factors. 1t
is said that the old Babylonians
used to count by SKIES just as we
now count by tens. Theirs is
called the sextal system ours
the decimal. Let us in this
connection remember that two
SKIES make a dozen and that two
tens make a score. Also that
1OxI2-120. Now let us COM
pare the following measures and
weights-Linear, Circular and
Time among the measures; and
Troy or Apothecary among the
weights; also the table for coun-
ting English money, not to men
ton that for Federal money,
which is so plainly based on the
decimal system:
One day=S6,4OO seconds, one
mile=63,36O inches.
One pound Troy (or Apothe-
cary)=5,76O grains.

The "Orton" is an excellent
hotel-large, handsome, well
conducted with everything first
class, affording all the comforts
of a luxurious home. Like very
many of the best hotels, its ele-
vator obyiates the objection
which many have tc taking
rooms on the upper floors. We
have to discount stairs and 60
sky ward on the "machine." As
we watch the operations this
query arises: Why is the ele-
vator like Jacobs ladder Is il

A CALL FOR THE ANNUAL MEET
ING SOON TO BE MADE

One year ago last Monday,
February 18th, the Truckers in
and around Clinton organized
the Sampson Truckers Associa-
ton. On March. the 18th, this
Association issued call for a
State Truckers Association to
meet the 4th and 5th of April.
On the day appointed the Asso-
citation was organized in the
town of Clinton, with delegates
from Faison, Mount Olive, New
Berne, Magnolia, Warsaw, Fay
etteyille Wilmington and Clin-
ton. The meeting was a very
interesting, we hope, and profit
able one. The members present
were much pleased with the be-
ginning.

enable them to work intelligent

cause something similar might
be done to advantage by the
truck raisers Of this State.-Wil.

The truckers Of Georgia have
organized a. joint stock company
to enable them to conduct their
business to better advantage, tC
which we called attention yes
terday and suggested that per
haps the truck ralsers Of North
Carolina might advance theil
interests by similar organiza
ton. This suggests another
idea, and that is the organiza
ton of companies among truck.

cal,neries and thus save most OF

it will not pay TO ship wheI
prices go down. The canning
industry is carried On extensive

and Western States, and a be-
ginning has been made in the
South, but only a beginning as

Of canneries the trucker an(
fruit-grower would be compare

a way to ensure better price
for it.-Wil. Star, Feb. 7th.
