The Progressive farmers Position.
The following editorial on the question
will appear in next weeks Progressive
Farmer:
We see no adequate advantage to the
State in the amended proposition of the
Wilmington & Weldon railroad. We
would never grant a re-charter Of the
Petersburg road until the Wilmington
Il Weldon consented to the unqualified
right of taxation upon the part Of the
State. If we could influence the pres
ent General Assembly we would induce
them to refuse this charter to the Will
mington & Weldon railroad, and let the
company try for its privileges in the
courts. The present General Assembly
has the power in it's hands to bring this
corporation to terms. We want no COM
promise of this matter that will exempt
this corporation from any of the burdens
of taxation borne by any other people or
corporation. We would be willing to
grant them all else they ask if they will
allow the unqualified right of the State
to tax their property as it taxes other
property.
We want it distinctly. understood
that the Progressive Farmer asks for
nothing more, and it will be satisfied
with nothing less.
We esteem this the most important
matter before this Legislature, and if the
opportunity now present is allowed te
pass another like it Dlay not come in thl'
generation.

Since the passage of the r .ilroad Com

the members no doubt are now alb
sorbed with the important question as
to who shall compose the honorable

MI. Busbee is we'll known throughout
the State as gentleman of the strictest
integrity and who is affable and genial
in his dealings with his fellow men, one
with whom it is pleasant to have business

various intricacies. Mr.. Busbee is thor
oughly posted in this respect, and being

Please allow me space in the columns
of the CHRONICLE to suggest to the mem
bers of the Legislature the propriety of
electing Capt. James s. Battle one Of the
Railroad Commissioners under the law
lust enacted. Capt. Battle possesses
every qualification that would fit him to
serve the people of the State in that
capacity, viz sterling integrity, COM
bined with great natural ability, made
greatly available by cultivation and
practice, besides his former services to
his party and the State as Representa-
tive in her Legislature, and still more,
his gallant services in the days of his
youth in the Confederate Army should
recommend him. The State should never
forget those services of her sons, called
into service by the unanimous voice of
the people, assembled in their sovereign
capacity, and all things else being
equal, her sons who exposed their lives
in her behalf should be preferred The
battle-seared remnant which escaped
death on the field are fast passing away.
Let us and our posterity never forget
them and their glorious deeds. 1t is
enough to say in this connection that
Capt. Battle, as stripping youth, being
an Aide to Gen. Cox carried the order
| for the last charge made by the Army Of
Northern Va. at Appomattox, which
was so gallantly executed by that gallant

The talk of the Legislature in passing
the "Railroad Commission bill' has been
great. Bat greater talk and more
difficult one will be in the selection of
suitable men for commissioners. The
law, properly administered it is hoped
will be beneficial to all concerned. To
be successful Railroad Commissioner a
man must possess more than ordinary
qualities. Mediocrity men will not do
for this important position. He must
be free from prejudice and unbiased in
all things. He must be man OF keen
sense of fairness, justice, honesty
and be of incorruptible integrity.
Such man is Col. P. F. Faison. His
vast experience makes him the most
suitable gentleman that have seen men.
toned for the place. He has long been
cotton and tobacco merchant, and the
information and experience gained as
President of the Board of Directors OF
the Penitentiary, which has become self
sustaining under his administration
make his qualities greatly to be desired

cation is equal to the emergency, being
if l mistake not, a graduate of Wes

and conditions calculated to try man

Col. Isaac Hill, deputy doorkeeper Of

some gold-headed hickory cane which
is to be presented to Senator German.
The gift comes from the young Demo
Gratis of Licking county, Ohio, in recog-
milton of Senator Germans fight against
the force bill, and is suitably inscribed.
Col. Hill, who has charge of the arrange
ments for the presentation, says that
when the Democrats decided to present
the cane, all the young men
Of the county went out into the woods,
and that nearly ten cart loads of hand
some young trees were submitted to the
committee for inspection. The cane
finally chosen is as beautiful a piece Of
hickory as the woods Of the whole county
afforded, and will not only last Senator
Germans lifetime, but can be bequeath-
ed as an heirloom to his descendants.-

compelling this surrender, and We would
not allow special pleas of pretended in
justice to the road to deter Us from pro-
ceedlng to the furthest limit, consistent
with justice, to compel the ". l. W.
railroad to surrender all its exemptions,
and submit all its property to taxation at
the usual rates of taxation.
1t ought to do so readily and willingly.
For fifty years it has enjoyed exemptions
that have helped to make it rich and pow
erful. Its owners bought it at a song
from those who, to build it, impover-
ished themselves. And now instead of
coming to the State that has dealt with
them so generously, ready to bear just
part Of the burdens of taxation, it comes
and demands its 'pound of flesh nearest
the heart" In 1885 the Legislature,
unwisely as We believe, gave this road
the right to build branch roads free
from taxation, We would be in favo,
of repeating that law and denying every
other privilege desired by this road that
equity would permit upon the principle
that the man who demands his pound o.
flesh ought not to be allowed to shed ont
| drop of blood. Men who drive hard bar
gains have no right to ask favors. It i
a maxim of law that she who would hav
equity, must do equity" Let the W
& W. R. R. try that-come forward an
give up their claims to exemption, an
the State will deal by them justly an
literally.

Here is an incident from the South Mississippi, written in April, 1890, just after the Grippe had visited that country. "I am a farmer, one of those who have to rise early and work late. At the beginning oflast Winter I was on a trip to the City ofVicksburg, Miss. where got well drenched in a shower of rain. l went home and was soon after seized with a dry, hacking cough. This grew worse every day, until had to seek relief. consulted Dr. Dixon who has since died, and he told me to get bottle of Boschee's German Syrup. Meantime my coagh grew worse and worse and then the Grippe came along and I caught that also very severely. My condition then compelled me to do something. l got two bottlesof German Syrup. l began using them, and before taking much of the second bottle, l was entirely clear of the Cough that had hung to me so long, the Grippe, and all its bad effects.

HIGH CULTIVATION.

The ReUieW Ot RerieWS in recent issue calls attention to the fact that by a proper system of irrigation remark able results may be obtained in the cul- ture of vegetables.
 Doubtless many of us remember Prince Krapokin's extraordinary Nine teenth Century paper of few years ago, in which he described the almost mir aculous results of the systems of pains taking market gardening in the vicinity of Paris, in Holland and elsewhere.
 A few striking instances; 2l25 acres cultivated near Paris not only supply the 100000 inhabitants with veget- ables, but furnish a surplus for ship ment to London; these maraichers with no apparatus more costly than few frames for seedlings, raise on half an acre vegetables to the value of E200. They declare that if all the food, ami maj and vegetable, necessary for the 3,500, 900 inhabitants of Seine and Seine et-Oise had to be grown on their own territory (3250 square miles), it could be grown without resorting to any other methods of culture than those al- ready in use."
 Not only can this wonderful increase in productiveness become possible through irrigation, careful selection of plants, and proper attendance, but it is literally true that no soil at all is needed to make a plant grow. Such are the properties of plant food and it's assimilation that it is possible for the vegetable to obtain it's nourishment from water in which the proper ingre- dients have been placed.
 This water culture has been experi- mented with in various parts of Ger many. Professor Noble grew in jars of water a Japanese buckwheat plant nine feet high, weighing, when air dry, 47S6 fold as much as the seed from which it was produced" The most i'm portant ingredients which make up plant food are nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, and it is these substances that our practical agricultural chemists are looking to find in greater quantities es- pecially in the case of the first.
