BREAD FROM STONES.
New Under the Sun
Fertilizers From Common Rock.
communicated

Communicated
The day may come when stony fields
that have been abandoned for the more
easily cultivated prairies, will be again
sought and valued because of these
stones. The value of stony land il
gradually becoming known. A cores
pondent writes: every stony fields never
become exhausted as do the plains by
long cultivation. The reason, of course,
is that in the primitive rocks is to be
found the best and, we might almost
say, only real fertilizer. Not only does
the rocky or stony fields never become
exhausted, but what is more important,
the produce obtained from it is of far
better quality than is obtained from
stable manured plains, better in taste
| and better in life sustaining qualities.
But all soil may be made approximately
equal by adopting the new system OF
fertilization taught in the book Bread
writer and scientist OF high repute This
work, which contains the Investigations
and experiences of other eminent men
on the subject, is repubiished in this
country, the object being to introduce to
the people of the United States a subject
that is of vital Importance to every one,
young and DID,
The book, volume of $50 pages, is
sold by Mr.. George Orenshaw, of Hem
derson, \. C., price so cents.
Last summer several farmers in Penn
sylvania tried the stone meal fertilizer
alongside OF very expensive manufac
tured fertilizer selling at $50 per ton,
and heavy stable manuring on tobacco
grown on same field. Recently specimens
OF each were tested, and every one who
was present admitted that the tobacco
raised on stone meal with no other fer
tilizer was much superior to the Others.
The difference between it and the tobacco
raised on stable manure was especially
marked, the latter being heavy, oily and
very rank smelling, while the former had
no rankness about it, but more of the
aroma of a fair Cuban tobacco. The
yield was about the same on all three.
If this holds good in tobacco it necessa-
rily must in all other produce, the quality
of which may be made much better,
thereby benetting the public health by
abandoning filth as a fertilizer and sub
shutting clean stone meal. SO it is that
in time the stony fields will come to be
appreciated and men in place of clearing
them off and pilng them up as fences
will take hammers and break them up
instead, for use as crop growers. Each
time stone is broken adds a little to
its applicability to plant life, but the
best results, of course, can only be
obtained in scientific combination of
various kinds OF rocks reduced to powder
and applied according o the crop desired.
This new fertilizer will be especially well
coined by all cultivators of flowers, it is
so clean, and it's use in time will free the
soil from grub worms and plants from
lice, besides growing brighter and sweeter
flowers. Every farmer should have this
book and make his own fertilizer

MR.. W. Il. HENRY AND GENERAL.
RANSOM,

The following is taken from the
Windsor, Berthe county, LrHger, of
last week. y copy of the paper was
sent us with the article marked, and
coming as it does from Mr.. Henry S
native county, we give place to it:
We have read and then read again
Mr.. W. X. llenry's open but UNANSWERED
bic letter to Gen. Ransom, charging him
with perfidy of the highest type, i'll his
promise to secure IL position which he
(llenry) Justly mcrted and the Democ-
racy of North Carolina demanded 1t is
an able letter. 1t is II masterpiece in
diction, written i'll plain and strong
language, though courteous and gentle
manly. Mr.. Henry makes out his case
well.
The Ledger has had many pleasant
things to say about Mr. Ransom and
ndmires his bravery and intelligence,
but in this matter of which we write, we
unhesitatingly say that he has acted
more basely than we could ever have
dreamed.
Mr.. Henry is right in publishing his
letter. 1t is Il relief to his pent-up feel
ings ut the wrong treatment he has re-
ceived at the hands of General Ransom
We give him credit for it. 1t has raised
Mr. Henry high in the State among the
honest element i'll the Democratic party.
The cuckoo papers were afraid to pub
fish Mr.. llenry's letter. We only wish
We had the space i'll the Ledger If we
did have, Mr.. Henry could rest assured
that our readers would have the full ben
eft of the letter in the columns of our
paper.
OF all things we believe IN being true to
your friends, and when IL man makes a
sacrifice of his friends We glory in seeing
the man shown up.
The cuckoos may put their heads to-
gether, Mr.. Henry, and talk i'll whispers
and look cowardly over their shoulders
to see who is looking. but they know
that You have done the proper thing.
We commend you.
High honors await men of your char
acter, intelligence and worth.
God speed you.

Spring Time

Is when nearly everyone feels the need Of
some blood purifying, strength invigorating
and health producing medicine. The real
merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla is the reason
of its widespread popularity. The whole
system is susceptible to the most good from
medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla taken
at this time, and we would lay special
stress upon the time and remedy, for
history has it recorded that delays are
dangerous. The remarkable success
achieved by Hoods Sarsaparilla and the
many words of praise it has received, make
it worthy of your confidence. We ask you
to give this medicine fair trial.

: We have Protective Leagues, ''Sound
tlOney" Leagues, silver Leagues, and
a number OF other Leagues in this
country, bat not until recently have
we had a Manufacturers Free Trade
League, but we have one now, the OBJ
jec,s Of which, as stated in a conven-
ton recently held in Washington are:
Il. To foster. disseminate and
give effect in every possible way,
direct and indirect. to free trade prncl-
pes. ,. To demonstrate to our
brother manufacturers that free trade
w,nld conserve and promote their
interests and not injure or destroy
3. To demonstrate to the people that
the independent and self-supportlng
manufacturers Of the United States,
representing all lines Of industry have
no'ueed Of protection, so called, but
believes that such a policy entails
unjust aud burdcnsome taxation. 4. To
create a national organization that will,
upon all occasions, combat the monOp-
o.;es and trusts which have been made
possible by the protective tariff system.
Hon. Tom Johnson, Of Ohio, one of
t. largest iron manufacturers in the
cqfntry, who few days ago started
thtwheels in a 100000 plant at
Lofain in his State, boldly proclaimed
for free trade in the tariff discussion,
and ridiculed the iron manufacturers
WHO were asking for protection.
Among the speakers at the Washing
toll convention was a manufacturer
from Burlington, Iowa, who said:
fS;hy should manufacturers have
'njOtection' when labor has no 'protec-
tiEuh:' Free trade would protect man
ufacturs from themselves. Protection
stimulates them to oyerproduction for
their home market, which is soon
glutted with goods, and then the facto-
ries shut down and work people starve.
Free trade would give this country a
large export trade and steady employ
ment-.iust what working people need.
MI living expenses would be much
less and the whole country the gamer.
and another from Bedford, Pa, who
said:
I'VE are in favor of abs oute free
trade, believing it to be the only policy
that is Just to all classes; also believ-
i'll. that manufacturer as class
would be benefited by an increase of
commerce which would follow the free
in9 of foreign exchange. We believe
that all who ask for protection on their
product seek to rob the consumer and
ask the Government to assist them in
so doing. We consider protectionists
as paupers seeking to live off of others
industries, and to profit by others
losses.
The position of these manufacturers
is strengthened by the operations of
the wooden mills in this country, since
the Wilson tariff, with its free wool,
went into operation. The revival in
that industry has astonished the pro-
lection advocates, and the fact that
they are now shipping woolens to Eng
land and other European countries
and successfully competing with Euro
pean mills, shows what American
skill, machinery and enterprise can do
when they have an open field and a
iair Observation-Disclosures Star.

A Queer Insect.

The walking sticks, " walking
leaves" ETC., are among the most
curious forms of insects inhabiting
tropical America. They belong to
the great family of phasmidas, and
are also odd specimens of animated
nature as one could well imagine
The type of the family is an elon-
gated creature with a cylindrical
brown body, looking exactly like a
small limb or twig with the bark
on Some of the branches of this
numerous family live in the torrid
portions of Africa, where they at
tain enormous sizes. Vane, the great
traveller, says that he has seen them
so large that "they had the general
appearance of great, animated clubs
moving up and down the branches
and trunks of the gigantic tropical
trees. st. Louis Republic.
