RAISES POTATOES WITHOUT sCAB
c. n. Carvin Dips His PotAtoes In Corrosive
Sublimate and Raise. a Big Crop.


Sublimate and Raises a Big Crop.
No more potato scab Is the practical
experience OF c. NJ. Irwin at Elm Beach
farm on the Little river near Sulllvan's
dam. Mr.. Irwin is now digging his
potatoes which are beauties. uniform
IN size and with skins as clear and
smothe as a ladies check. The way
Mr.. Irwin accomplished this was by
dipping the seed at planting in A solu-
ton especially prepared to prevent
the scab. The strength OF the soiu-
ton can be imagined when IL Is sta
ted that IL principally consists of CO.
rosive subllmate. The seed were the
Colorado irrigated potatoes and were
planted on the portion OF Mr. Irwin's
ground which he has been irrigating
this season when the few spells OF
dry weather was liable 10 damage the
crop. The manner OF keeping the pota-
toes Is a novel one. Crates which are
constructed from weather strips hold
but one bushel and allow plenty OF air
to pass through the potatoes thus pre-
venting any dampness from rotting
them The vegetable is changed from
crate to crate occasionally which fur
Their prevents rot:ing and destroys all
sprouts which might grow.
Mr.. Irwin planted his potatoes by
machinery last spring and intends Dig
gtng them next year by a potatoe dig
ger and sorter. The machine takes
all the rubbish from the potatoes and
lays the small potatoes on one side
OF the furrow and the large onesh on
the other.

1t is Relieved i'm Some New YORK CIR
cies That it VIII go to Fifteen Cents
Pound--Chats With Prominent Cit
liens About the King of the Farms.
Capt. j. J. Thomas, who, about a
month ago, advised the farmers to
market their cotton slowly, said yester-
day that the Temporary depression In the
price of cotton meant nothing. 81 said
three weeks ago." continued the captain,
'tthat the cotton crop would not exceed
seven and a half million bales. 1t will
not be so large, and may not reach six
and half million. This will of course
mean better prices if the crop is mark
eted gradually. A rush of cotton to
market would depress the price now, but
next spring it would go up after the cot
ton has left the hands of the farmers.
81 cannot predict how high cotton
go It nay go to 10 1 2 cents, and vii!
certainly 60 higher than 10 cents. TIE
manufacturers who have stock OF cot
ton goods on hand are being benefited
by the rise in the price of cotton in that
it makes an active market for the goods
they have in the hands of commission
merchants These goods were made
cheaper than they can be made now, and
some factories in the summer have ac-
cumulated large stocks which they have
been anxious to convert into money.
The higher price of cotton has enabled
them to sell at profitable figures, and
thus the stock on hand is ali going into
use."
Mr.. Charles E Johnson, an expert in
cotton, says that the farmers this year
have bought less guano than ever before
and that they have now found out how
to do without commercial fertilizers.
They will never buy so much again as
they have in the past, and this will mean
big money saved for each year. Mr..
Johnson thinks the crop ) within twenty
per cent of what it was last year, and
that with tie improved prices the farm
ers are in better condition than for sew
eral years.
Things are going to get better said
Capt. B. p. Williamson yesterday: 1.-The
farmers this year will make profit on
the product-and it will be the first
time they have made dollar in three
years. have been in the business" con-
sinued Mr.. Williamson, and | know
what | am talking about"
Upon his return from New York some
days ago. Mr. T. W. Dobbin, senior
partner of the big Tucker firm, said to a
NEWS AND OBSERVER reporter that some
leading business men in New York pre-
dicted that cotton would go to fifteen
cents by the spring Mr.. Dobbin says
that he found confidence III permanently
impl owed conditions in all lines of bust
ness in New York.

A YOUNG MAN IN TROUBLE.
Mr.. Percy TomIinsop, of Wilson'S
Mills, is Charged With Taking
Money from a Letter.

Pcstcfice Inspector Conard has been
about here for few days; end reap
peared yesterday with a namber Of wit
ness from Wilson's Mills and CLAYTON in
a case against young Percy Tomlinson,
of Wilson'S Mills
The case was heard before Commits
sioner Register. and the charge was that
youpg Tomlinson had some months ago
taken five dollar bill from a letter
mailed by Mr.. John Holt, of Wilson's
Mills.
The case was continued until Tuesday,
in the absence of one of the witnesses.
Mr.. T. NJ. Argo, counsel for the pris-
oner, gave Mr. Holt severe cross
examination, testing the credibility of
his eye sight and memory (he is over
seventy years of age Mr. Holt admit
ted that he had placed the money. on the
shelf before putting it in the envelope,
and admitted, moreover, that in absent
mindedness he bad gone cut some nights
without closing his store.
1t is claimed by the friends of the
young man that his brother was not
long ago maliciously prosecuted and that
now this charge comes with weak force
from an anonymous source. The ex-
animation will be concluded Tuesday.
Meanwhile, it is hoped by the friends of
Mr.. Tomlinson, whose people are good
people and sorely stricken, that the
conclusion will be his yindicati0n.

coon TIMES CoMING.

For sCme past there has been an overplus
OF predicting a return Of good times, and,
until within a few DAYS, but little indica-
ton OF their appearance. Yesterdays
quotations. however, show rapid advance
in stocks, ard in response 10 this upward
tendency business men are looking for a
general fmproveInentin in trade.
The stock markets are the best public in
dicator Of good or hard times They may
therefore be called the commercial pulse, for
when capital feels a stringency stocks are
thrown on the market, and when times
are good they are principally held as an
investment
If only politics could be put aside aud all
questions that cause uneasiness in finan-
cial circles be given rest there could be no
doubt as TO a return Of prosperity. When
capital seeks investment and labor finds
this country OF abundant resources. But
when calamity howlers cry distress aud
politicians advocate wbeeI-brained the
ories, capital hides for fear of loss and
working people suffer accordingly.
IL is useless 10 advise against political
discussion. An American Id better
20 without his coffee, but there is no harm
IN saying that the next national campaign
is over year bence, aud that a close mouth
and honest labor between now and then
viii make more money than would a vol

POTOMAC FLATS ARGuMENTs.
Rights Of Chesapeake and Ohio Conn
pany and Ii. H. dodge.

Rights of Chesapeake and Ohio Com.
pany and II. H. Dodge.
Assistant District Attorney Taggart
began his argument yesterday afternoon
in answer to the claims of the Chesapeake
& Ohio Canal Company, and Henry H.
Dodge, as lessee Of that company, in the
Potomac Flats controversy. Mr.. Taggart
will probably finish his speech to-day.
The trial will probably continue week or
ten days yet. =,
Mr.. Hugh l.. Bond jr, OF Baltimore, in
concluding yesterday morning, said the
canal company held in fee its real estate
used edinconstructionofthe in canaland certainly
had right To banks down TO navigable
waters.
Mr.. o. ID. Bartlett, for III. II. Dodge,
lessee from the canal company OF strip OF
land on the south OF the canal filed a Lrief
and made an argument. Tbeclaim extends
from the William Easily land to the western
terminus of the old city canal aud stretches
from the Chesapeake and Ohio canal 10 the
Potomac. Judge Barrett said Mr.. Tag
CART for the government had undoubtedly
overthrown the claims OF the Marshall and
Kidwell heirs but he had no case against
persons holding the property under such
terms as the canal company's.
The company had leased the ground to
Mr.. Dodge at $200 a year for five years
wNh privilege OF renewal for fifty years.
When the renewal was demanded the
directors authorized the president TO rene W
the lease, but he had never done so; never
theless as ne should have done so, the
effect in this suit was the same as If he had.
Mr.. Dodge bad offered SO 200 in payment
OF his rent for sixteen years. Mr. Dodge
was therefore entitled TO all rights of the
company in the locality claimed.
