FERTILIZERS ANALYsEs.-The Expert
ment Station is issuing bulletin 88 giving
all fertilizer analyses made in the Fall
and Spring of 1892. In calculating the
relative seaboard value the new valua'
tions are used, the same that will be used
during the coming season. These are, for
available phosphoric, acid and potash
each five cents per pound, for ammonia 15
cents (13 cents last year). The advance
is caused by a scarcity of ammoniates'
New samples are now being taken by the
official inspectors, and as soon as analyzed
will be published in bi-weekly bulletins
throughout the fertilizer season: Write
to the Experiment Station for these bul
letins. Only one application is needed
for all issues.

W Maybe, if we did not have SO
many good North Carolinians building
up other States, the fields here would
blossom as the rose; maybe if the "dis'
persed abroad" had been more patient to
utilize the advantages of their own State
it would be farther on in progress and
process of material development. Ger
tain it is that efforts, expended at home
which they have bravely put forth to
build themselves up in new and untried
country would have accomplished much
in placing North Carolina in the van oi
the Commonwealths oft Union-where
she belongs. In the diversity of soil and
its adaptability to the growth of all kinds
or products, in the salubrity of climate
and in its fortunate geographic position
this State is no whit inferior to the most
favored portion of the West or the Golden
Coast. Charlotte Observer.

A State Motto,
" Esse Guam, Virderi."

"To be rather than seem to be-" We
are glad that some of our leading men
are considering the question of State
motto for North Carolina. Judge Clark
and Senator Battle would seem to be the
very men for such work. Yet, we are
free to say that while the sentiment
quoted is correct description of our
people, it fails to suggest any we'll defined
idea, so essential in State motto. Let
the friends "hasten slowly" in matter
OF so much artistic taste and skill. Once
adopted and applied to our various seals
and documents, it might be very difficult
to undo iffound to be unsuited. 1t would
be more incongruous than the constitu.
tional convention of 1875, inserting in the
Constitution an amendment providing for
"Sheep Husbandry," and then the Legis-
lature voting down for eighteen years
every bill introduced to protect that great
industry.
But we gladly add the following
interesting article as showing the move,
ment:
Cor. State Chronicle.
RALEIGH, N. c., Jan. %, 1893.
Senator Battle has introduced bill to
establish state motto. By some over
sight North Carolina is one Of the very
few States which have adopted none. A
neatly expressed motto is both orna-
mental and expressive. The motto of
the Union is "E Pluribus Unum," which
is very appropriate. Virginia has as her
motto the historic "Sic Semper Tyrannis;;"
South Carolina has "Animis, Ophibus que
Parati )" Kentucky, "United We Stand,
Divided We Fall; )" Maine, "Dirigo; !"
New York, Excelsior Connecticut.
"Qui Transtulet, Sustinet;" Arkansas,
"SaIus Populi, Suprema Lex" Florida,
,"In God We Trust" and so on with the
others. The one proposed by Senator
Battle for North Carolina is exceedingly
appropriate as it represents the solid,
unpretending virtues of our people. 1t is
"Esse Guam, Virderi"-this is, "To be
rather than seem to be-" The bill also
provides that at the top of the coat of
arms heretofore adopted by the State
there shall be inscribed MAY 20, 1775."
Many States have notable dates in their
history inscribed on the coat OF arms.
North Carolina should indeed thus place
in perpetual remembrance the imm ortal
Declaration of Independence made at
Charlotte. The bill should be adopted by
all means, as there is no doubt it will be.

Referring to the recent debate in
the Senate on the question of interest the
Wilmington Star says that Senator Lit
tie, of Anson struck the kernel of the
question when he said he would be will
ing to vote for the proposed change in the
law if it would ensure the people more
money at lower rate of interest than
they are paying, but it couldn't do that,
for the volume of money cannot be in
creased by decreasing the ratio of interest,
statement so patent on its face that
every one ought to see it"

W There is a common idea through.
out the State that a large number ot
students receive free tuition at the Uni
versity, under the State law. This is an
error, as only nine students receive free
tuition under the State law, and, among
them, six are ministers sons, two candid
ates for the ministry, and one a cripple
There are over seventy scholarships of
fered, but they are all paid for by private
charity just as in other colleges.
In regard to the standard OF the Uni
versity, it is the highest of any University
in the South. The B. A. degree requires
one and one half (l3l years higher than
that of the University of Virginia.
