What a Pity.

What a Pity.
Why do women dread to grow
old? is the question often asked.
One would suppose it a crime to
live longer than 80 years Is it
any wonder women dread to
pass the thirty-nine mile post
when that bugbear age, "forty''
chills her heart and senses.
What a pity we havn't a
fountain of youth, or the fire of
perpetual youth in the bowels
of the earth, in which to battle.
Where wouldn't a woman 60 to
reach either? Oh, that the gods
would bring them in their sleep
one little drop of elixir that they
might become immortal and
laugh at old age. ....
But what a monotonous thing
it would be if all the women We're
young. What would we do for
dear, old mother? To grow old
gracefully is the most beauti.
full thing in the world. Let us
Whisper, a woman is only as old
as she looks. Their manners
must be charming, and their
dress faultless.

walton and perpetuity. We hope
the whites viii 40 longer consent TO

DURHAM RECORDER,

This hot weather reminds
us that Durham needs forty

The farmers of this section
should raise more potatoes!
Listenl Many of the Berks
county (Pa. farmers have found
that potatoes are the most pro-
titable crop that can be raised.
Many of them realized $135 per
acre for their, last years crop
of potatoes, whereas wheat
yielded them only $40 to $25.
"A friend said to-day that he
was told that he must give in
all his property-thatish he must
give in that portion of his pro-
perry that is in another county,
which is given in and the taxes
paid in that county every year.
He began to think that it was
an outrageous arrangement If
such was the case, but a law
yer was appealed to at once,
who said that the man who
owned the property in another
county was right. There is no
living man that can honeycome
d. w, 2. about taxes amy more!
Much has been said about
inducing the boys TO stay ON the
farp. The home should be
made attractive and he should
be stimulated to take a healthy
interest in the work Of the farm.
Butall farmers sons will not
make good farmers and are not
fitted by nature or inclination
for that calling. If it appears
that the young man can make a
success of something else and
that he will be a failure on the
farm, let him go, to follow his
ideas and satisfy his ambition.
The value Of the farmers
products hiss not increased, but
taken as a whole diminished,
whilst the value Of the products
OF the factories and mines are
increased twenty-seven per
cent; in other words the farm
er had less money to pay with,
and the articles he was COM
PEELED TO buy cost him nearly
one-third more. For instance q
farmer in 1869 raised 1000 BUSH
els Of corn. He could sell this
corn for S925.O0 for corn sold at
92l cents per bushel. In 1879,
by doubling the amount Of land
cultivated and hiring extra la
Dor, he raised 1000 bushels of
corn, and as corn was only IL
cents a bushel, he could sell the
crop for 500. Only SIS more
than he received for the crop of
'69 whish had cost him but half
as much in land and labor.

FERrILrzER COMPANY.

Some Facts About tho Recent Seizure
OF Their Goods.
The Raleigh News and Observer
contained the following
Mr.. s. 7. Morgan, president Of the
Durham Fertilizer Company, accom-
panied by Mr.. L. A. Carr, also Of
that company, were in Raleigh yes
terday. and in conversation with
them the News and Observer learned
some facts in connection with their
recent trouble with the North Caro-.
lima Agricultural Department on ac-
count Of some Of their goods not com.
ing up to the required percentage Of
composition. Mr.. Morgan informed
the News and Observer that no com
plants whatever had ever been made
against the goods Of the Durham
Fertilizer Company except with re-
gard to this particular lot which had
been seized. Reports that several
hundred tons Of the guano, in which
there was q shortage, have been sold
are erroneous, and the goods seized
in which a shortage was found
amounted to only a fraction over
fifteen tons, and this is all upon
which the company agreed TO pay q
reimbursement and all upon which
the Agricultural Department de-
manded that they should reimburse
the purchasers. In this connection
Mr.. Morgan showed us the following
letter which he had just received
from Commissioner Robinson:
RALEIGH, N. O., June is.
s. 7. Morgan President, Durham Fer
tilizing Co.:
Dear Sir.-In reply to your en-.
quiry, it gives me pleasure TO state
that the ruling Of this department in
regard TO the shortage in the fertili.
zers Of your make detailed at Me.
Evansville pertains only to that lot as
the samples were taken from only
that particular lot Of goods. These
goods were in the hands Of Mr.. j. r.
Smith. The shortage amounted To
s2.43 per ton. Yours truly,
JNo. ROBINSON.
Com.
In speaking further of the matter
Mr.. Morgan said TO the News and
Observer: t
THE total amount Of shortage
claimed by the Department was only
sSs.i3. We claim that this occurred
by our using ground animal bone in
the goods instead Of calculated rock.
The shortage largely appeared in the
amount Of phosphoric acid which by
chemical analysis ground animal
bone does not show. We claim that
when the analysis Of the Department
shows this particular lot Of goods be.
low in commercial value, that the
goods containing the larger amount
Of animal bone that they do, makes
them actually worth much more TO
the farmer than our guarantee"
Mr.. Morgan also exhibited TO us
quite a number Of official analyses by
the highest authorities in the coun-
try, showing the goods TO be above
the standard in every case. Many
Of these were Of recent date, and
ranged over various dates. Among
them were analyses by the following
authorities: Ledoux q Co., Of New
York: Stillwell & Gladding, Of New
York; w. J. Gascoyne, Of New York
y. b. Dancy, Of Raleigh, and the
analyses Of North Carolina Agricul-
tural Department.
