From exhaustive experiments made in
England with artificial manures the
Mark Lane Express draws the following
deductions:
Phosphate alone, for any crop, is in-
adequate, and farmers should abandon
the use of superphosphate by itself.
Nitrogen alone is unreliable for any crop.
Phosphates and nitrogen together with
potash sometimes added) are more benefi-
cial to grain crops than most people
imagine. For root crops, fertilizers con-
tanning phosphates, nitrogen and potash
give far the best results. For grass
manures containing phosphates and
nitrogen sometimes with potash) are the
best kinds. Dat and potato crops can
be enormously increased by the use of
the proper fertilizers

A Proposition that will Settle the Dis
puted Question.
The CHRONICLE is anxious to secure an
accurate census of the city of Raleigh
We believe the census to be inaccurate,
and we think that the board of alder
men ought to take IMMEDIATE ACTION to
get correct census. It is very impor-
tant to every interest of the CITY, We
commend most heartily the suggestion
contained in the following communica-
ton
Let the Police Take the Census.
EDITOR CHRONICLE:-As there seems to
be considerable doubt as to whether the
census enumeratorS gave correct census
of our city, would suggest how the
matter can be officially settled without
cost. Let the board of aldermen au-
thorize our excellent police force to take
the names and members of each family
| living within the corporate limits, clas-
| sified into four classes white males and
white females, colored males and color
ed females, and by adding up the total
we can get at our population exactly and
accurately. If this work is undertaken
Systematically, it can be done in less
than week. l would suggest that the
city be divided into districts of SO many
contiguous squares, the boundaries OF
which can be fixed by the streets, and
let district be assigned as the regu
lar beat of certain policeman until ht
shall complete the work. have hearc
that the census of London was taken IL
one night by the police force, and surel.
our police force can take the census o
our city in one week without inhlctins
q heavy burden. Composed of clever ant
intelligent gentlemen, | am satisfied the.
will do the work cheerfully and we'll
and if authorized by the board of alder
men it will be official and settle th
question so far as Raleigh is concerned
as to whether the census returns as com
puted by the United States officials ar
correct.

At the county Democratic convention
held here to-day, John G. Shaw was
elected permanent chairman, and Z. W.
Whitehead, of the Fayetteville Observer,
secretary. The following ticket was
nominated: For the House, Thos. II.
Sutton, and A. D. McGill; Sheriff, j. B.
Smith; Clerk Superior Court, G. G.
Cain; Register of Deeds, II. l.. Hall;
Treasurer, J. B. Troy.
The convention was unusually large
and enthusiastic, but resolution en-
dorsing Senator Vance and instructing
the candidates for the legislature to vote
for his reelection to the United States
Senate was tabled. Notwithstanding this
action of the convention, both can
didates for the House are Vance
men. A resolution instructing the
members of the General Assembly
to vote for and use all honorable and
| legitimate means for the establishment
| of a railroad commission was adopted.
Col. Sutton's wonderful popularity to-
| gether with that of the remainder OF the
ticket foreshadows in advance a grand
victory in November.
TMESsRs. SUTTON and MCGILL served
in the last General Assembly, and richly
deserve the endorsement Mr.. SUTTON
served also in the House in 1887. The
next will be his third term, and in abil-
ity and experience he will be one of the
fathers of the House. His friends will
run him for the speakership, which pc.
sition he would grace. Mr.. MCGILL ha:

There may be few men in the county
opposed to Senator Vance. There are
few men in every county, perhaps, who
have always opposed him. But we do
not believe there is a sub-Alliance IN
this county that would not endorse
Vance for reelection to the Senate.
Two of them have spoken out loudly in
favor of him. The resolutions were
published in the Times and Daily News.
Our last county convention, composed
largely of Alliancemen, UNANIMOUSLY
