CLINTON, N. c., Nov. 9TH 1890.
To the Democratic voters of Samp-
son County.
The Democratic County Execu-
tive Committee, feeling that we
have just passed through one of the
most important campaigns in our
political history, deem it proper to
say to you that we have done our
best to uphold and maintain the
organization of the Democratic
party. And it affords us pleasure to
extend to you our hearty thanks
for your earnest cooperation in the
achievement Of the result last Tues
day which preserves that Organiza-
ton in its entirety. To the Demo
Gratis in the county who felt con-
strained to withhold their support
from the organization, allow us to
say that we cherish the hope that
they will accept the result as an end
Vi oil pei Sl11lCo anu COuISIA-
tions, and that hereafter, we may
be able to present az unbroken
front to the common enemy.
To those of you who stood by the
organization in the contest from
which we have just emerged, the
committee desire to say that we
counsel you to abstain from all acts
and utterances which will in any
wise tend to make the result a
personal victory. Democrats in the

The Soil Is lnexhaustible.

One foot in depth of fairly good ag-
ricultural soil contains 1000 pounds OF
phosphoric acid; 5000 pounds of potash;
16, 900 pounds of nitrogen and lime, mag
nesia, soda, chlorine. sulphur, and sill
lea to afford food for all the crops
which these three elements can feed per
acre. After farmers by careful and
skillful cultivation have exhausted all
this great store of plant food in the up
permost foot of his soil, which will re-
auire several centuries, viii the soil be
exhausted2 Not at all As the land Is
gradually changed into vegetable growth,
and the surface is removed as farm crops,
it as gradually deepens, and the subson
which contains the very same elements
becomes fitted for plant food. And thus
the imperishable nature of matter APP
plies to the soil, which can never be ex-
hausted during all the ages which are to
come. All that mankind has to do Is to
use its arts under the instruction of sci
ence to develop this latent fertility OF
the soil, and to go on feeding the human
race until the end, if an end ever shall
COME when the earth will no longer ex-
ist as a fit babitation for mankind.

A VICTORY
FOR THE PEOPLE |
The Democratic Nominees Elected by q
Big Vote.

There being no opposition to the
Democratic nominees for the House
and for the various county officers,
they were all elected by tremend-
GUS vote, probably the largest ever
polled in the county. The contest
was over the Senate. John A. Bea-
man, democrat, was candidate
against Marion Butler, the Demo-
cratic nominee. Beaman got a great
many Democratic votes and the col
ored vote almost solid, but the prin-
c:ples on which Mr.. Butler was nom
mated triumphed by 431 majority
over the combined forces of the OPP
position. We have not yet been able
to get the official count of the vote,
but the majorities in the respective
townships are substantially as fol-
lows:
