IN MEMORY OF L. L. POLK.

Mr.. EDITOR:-To be cold and breath
less, to feel not and speak not, is not
the end of existence of the men who
have breathed their spirits in the insti-
tutions of their country, who have
stamped their characters on the pillows
of the age. who have poured their
hearts blood into the channels of the
public prosperity. Tell me, ye who
tread the sods of your sacred heights,
is Polk dead3 Can you not still see
him, not pale and PROSTATE, his gallant
heart with the rose of heaven upon his
cheek and the fire of liberty in his
eyesG Tell me, ye who made your
pious pilgrimage to the shades, is Polk
indeed shut up in that cold and narrow
housei That which made these men
cannot die.
The hands that were at the head of
our great reform is indeed motionless.
the eloquent lips that sustained it are
hushed, but the lofty spirits that con,
ceived, resolved and maintained it,
which alone to such men make it life to

AN EDITOR

The editor Of the Kinston Free Press
has not quite reformed, but he is going
that way. We expect he wants to
make amends for the past. Hear him:
Silver bullion is worth now about
half as much in gold as it was when it
was demonetiEed in 1873. We believe
it is worth so much less because of it's
demonstration by the principal gov

PHILADELPHIA sHYLoCKs.

The Philadelphia Press says that Mr..
Rudolph BIankenburg, of the Citizens
Relief Committee in that city, has been
making Investigations and finds out
rageous extortions made recently by
money-lenders on loans to the starving
unemployed. He says the average rate
of interest is above twenty per cent.
One man borrowed $25 on the 21st of
last December and signed a note for
$28. rs, payable in weekly installments.
In seven weeks he paid the principal,
and then was to pay 1878 weekly for
six weeks, making $685. rs for the
use of $25 seven weeks, or amounting
altogether to about so per cent. per
month. Other cases were unearthed
where persons paid as much as 60 per
cent. per month. Certain Philadelphia
citizens will try 10 get a more stringent
usury bill through the next legislature.

ROTTEN EGGS IN A ROTTEN
TOWN.

A few nights ago a concern calling
itself the Australian Medical Com
pany" gave a performance at Monroe.
Soon after the show began eggs and
~pulverized pepper were thrown on the
stage in liberal quantities and the show
was stopped. The manager of the
troupe had Mark Austin, one of the
participants in the outrageous mis-
chief, arrested and he was fined $50
and cost.
We don't know anything about the
character Of the show, but hardly ex-
pect that it is a reputable affair. How
ever, we wish to call attention to the
contrast between this incident and an
other one. Marion Butler was invited
to address the citizens of Union county,
at Monroe, on the issues of the day. A
large crowdassembled. After the speak.
ing began pepper was thrown into the
court house. The offenders were pu6
out by some Of the audience and their
names given to the authorities. That
night one or more eggs were thrown at
the carriage in which Bro. Butler was
riding on his way to the depot. So far
as we have heard the egg and pepper
throwers were not fined a cent. When
a respectable citizen of North Carolina
is insulsed and interrupted, the authori-
ties are both blind and dumb. When
a foreign concern comes in they become
virtuous and fine the rowdies heavily.
The county of Union and town of Mon
roe have many good people in their
borders; but they also haze quite a

tice or decency, judging from recent

COLUMBIA, N. Q.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Our county meeting
met with Scuppernong Sub-Alliance,
but owing to the bad weather it was
very poorly attended. The brethren
of Scuppernong had a sumptuous din
ner prepared for US and were expecting
a grand time, which, no doubt, would
have been we're it not for the rain.
There was no business of Importance
transacted except the passing of q reso.
luton in which q prize of IS each is
offered for the best yield of cotton or
Indian corn produced on n acre.
This is done to introduce more intensi-
fed farming and show the farmers by
their own offers that that is the way to
farm. We hope to hear from other
counties and learn that they are doing
the same.
There was also resolutions offered in
respect to our deceased brethren B.
Jones and B. Q. Patrick, which I en-

A vote of thanks was rendered the
brethren for their hospitable kindness,

ANIMAL FERTILIZERS.
An Entirely New Way to Provide Plants
with Electricity.

A dead animal of any kind, fish,
fowl or beast, buried near the roots of
a fruit or other tree, will cause a won
derful growth. The animal substance
does not pass into the vegetable, but.
being a natural and a powerful genera
tor of electricity, increases the current
that passes from the atmosphere to the
earth, and thereby a large quantity of
support is drawn from the atmosphere.
says Fosters Weather. Bureau. You
can grow a good crop of potatoes on a
brick pavement if moisture is retained
and the potato vines are connected
with moist earth by copper wires.
Commercial fertilizers do not enrich
the soil, do not add anything to it that
is of value. The object sought in these
fertilizers is to put the soil into a con-
dition that will enable it to conduct
electricity. The electrical current
passes into the vegetable through it's
leaves, carrying with it the gross mat
ter that goes to build up the vegetable
cells, and after that matter is deposited
in the vegetable the electric current
must have a conductor through which
to pass to the earth.
Worn out soils are poor conductors,
and the acids used in the commercial
fertilizers, which are little O than
acids and sand, pulverize the dead soil
and enliven it for a short time. Those
acid fertilizers are largely used in the
New England States and the cotton
countries of the Mississippi.
But few people in the upper Missis-
sippi and the Missouri valleys ever
saw a commercial fertilizer. If science
can find something that will render
worn out soil a good conductor. it will
save millions of dollars annually that
Is now paid out for commercial fertili-
zers.
