not enough" said he. "They have not
quite realized that it is peculiarly their
privilege to furnish early spring lambs
for the northern markets, where they
sell at very high price.
"The conditions in the south are en-
tirely favorable to the production oil
the bacon hog. The people in the
great corn belt of the Mississippi val
ley want a market for their corn and
feed the hog as long as he will make
any gain. The producer of the bacon
hog, however, disposes, of the animal
sooner, at a younger age.
"As soon as the southern people
give attention to the dairy industry
there will be a great increase in its
products"
The secretary made point of i'm.
pressing upon the people of the state
the wisdom of increasing their pas
lures, and of setting their wood lots
to work to produce grass for the colt
and the dairy cow, the mutton sheep
and the hog.
Great progress has been made, he
said, at the agricultural college. They
are doing work there that is probably
not being done anywhere else.
The department of agriculture, fol
the last two years, has been conduct
ing nationwide experiments to ascer.
tain whether the people of the United
States can produce their own sugar
from their own sugar beets. The mat
ter has gone so far that the secretary
has no doubt whatever of the success
of the industry. About score of mills
were running last fall, another score
is being built, and in time complete
success will come and the 500, 900, ,0OC
now paid out for suger will be saved
and kept at home.
The secretary is also sure now thai
the people of the latitude of South
Carolina can produce all the tea need
ed by the American people, just as be
was sure, two years ago, that the gu
gar needed for home consumption
could be produced from the sugar beet
independent of all other sources.

LIABILITY TO POLL TAX.

According to an opinion just deliv'
cred by Attorney General Bellinger' q
citizen of foreign country who has
not been naturalized, cannot be made
to pay poll tax, no matter how long he
NAV have been a resident of this state
The opinion is the result of question
raised in York county and is address

DEAR SIR: 1 have just received
yours enclosing letter from W. w.
Boyce, county auditor of York county.
In his letter he says:
"There is an execution in the hands OF

- Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the New
York World, is in London, and few
days ago he had himself interviewed
with regard to American politics. Mr..
Pulitzer expressed the opinion that
Bryan would be the next Democratic
nominee; but said that unless the free
silver issue is relegated to the back
ground, Mr. Bryan could not be elect
ed. If we remember Alright, Mr.. Pulit-
zer left the Democratic party during
the last presidential campaign, and
also Mr.. Bryan not long ago conceded
to all individuals in the party the right
to retire if the platform was unsatis-
factory.

probably. Anyhow, The ENQUIRER
is taken and read in both neighbor-
hoods, and if the man who owns the
pigs would just make the fact known
through an advertisement, in a re-
markably short time he would find the
man who wants to buy them.
We knew a man not long ago who
had a lot of cattle that he wanted to
sell. 1t is no trouble to sell cattle, of
course. Cattle have regular market
value, and buyers are always on the
lookout for anything that is for sale.
This man, however, like anybody who
knows how to take care of himself
without the help of guardian, wanted
to be sure of getting for his cattle all
that they were worth. For the salts
faction of being sure, he was willing to
pay the trihing expense of an adver-
tisement, and he found that the expe-
riment paid.
In the last issue of The ENQUIRER
man makes known the fact that he
wants secondhand engine. If he
had known exactly where to 60 for
what he wanted, the matter could
have been attended to without diff
Guilty. If he should attempt to hunt
up a second hand engine of the kind
desired that is for sale, he might sue
ceed and he might fail. Either way
he would put himself to considerable
trouble and lose more or less time.
Being a man of affairs and business
sense, however, he at once makes
known his want in such a way as to
find every man in the county who
is capable of supplying it. At the
time this is being written, no reply to
the advertisement has been received at
this Office; but there are "second' hand
ten or twelve horse power mounted
engines" in this section, and some OF
them are probably for sale. The own
ers of such engines who desire to sell
will address "B" care of THE ENoUIR'
Err, and one of them will very probably
make a sale, in which event the ad'
vertisement referred to will prove
beneficial to both parties.
But we have said enough on the
subject for the present. We would
like to have our country readers espe
cially to think of the matter. This
thing of ones making known his
wants to the public with view te
finding the man who can supply those
wants to mutual advantage, is not
luxury to be enjoyed alone by mer
chants, etc. There are numerous oc
casions on which farmers and Others
living in the country, may resort te
such an expedient with great advan
tage to themselves, and there are also
numerous occasions when failure to re
sort to judicious, well-timed adver
tisements, cost many times the outlay
!, that such advertisements would cal
for.

RESULT OF THE CONTEST.

The contest in which the subscribers
to The ENQUIRER were requested to
choose Confederate veteran in each
township, to be complimented by this
paper with round trip ticket to the
Charleston reunion, came to a close
last Thursday night at 9 o'clock, with
the result as follows:
Broad River, Meek Whitesides.
Bethesda, ,....................W. Green Park or.
Bullock's Creek, ............:..J. +. duncan.
Catawba, ....................John Ohm Snllllnglaw.
Ebenezer, r,.......................J. j. Edwards.
Fort Mill, ,.... .................Robert b. Burns.
Kings Mountain, n,...".........:..;J' a. oeil'
York, .......................L. B. Sherrer.
The interest of THE ENoUIRER's 8
subscribers in the contest is attested
by the fact that altogether they sent
in or gave to the veterans or their
friends, q total of 7,O14 coupons; but
more gratifying development has
been the arousing throughout the
whole county of that kindly feeling
that is 80 strong in every breast for
the men who so nobly stood by the
principles of their country in time ot
danger. The extent to which this
feeling has been aroused is too well
understood to call for any further ref:
erence.
In connection with this special con-
test, it is only fair to say that while
the old soldiers who have been chosen
are as good as the best, they are nc
better than others who were not cho'
sen, or many who did not figure in
this contest at all. They owe their
choice above their comrades either to
their own energy or the energy Of
their many friends. We have taken
pains to see that the selection has not
been a question of the longest purse,
and to that end have carefully dis
couraged the purchase of papers fol-
the sake of the coupons. So far as we
are aware, only five especially purchas'
ed coupons figured in the whole contest
so in this respect, no matter how able
or willing may have been his friends,
one veteran has had no advantage over
another. We think we have succeeded
in securing to all free ballot and a
fair count. The result of the contest
| in detail is as follows:

"The Ragged Earl, the new Irish COM
edy, which has been produced this season
in New York with such great success, will

Easter week. 1t is an attractive play,
charmingly portrayed by Mr.. Mack and
his excellent company, and illustrated with
picturesque effect by the scenic artist.
During long runs both in New York and
Boston, Mr.. Mack's admirers were thor
oughly loyal to him, his sallies of wit and
humor, full of spontaneity, found them
ever responsive with peals of laughter.
He has personality which never fails to
charm, temperament so buoyant that it
would give life to any play, and when it
comes to dealing with Hbernian wit and
humor he handles it with an ease and vivac-
ity which makes it marvellously effective.

T0QqT0 Fertilizer.

Under the above heading the indianapolis
News says: "The members OF the Indiana State
Gamers Association, together with number of
farmers and gardeners interested in the growing OF
tomatoes for packing purposes listened to paper
by Professor H. A. Huston, OF Purdue University,
on "Soils and Fertilizers in Connection with Tomato
Growing"
Among other things, the Professor said that the
experimental station at Purdue had made number
of experiments in the OF fertilizers in tomato
growing, and had obtained valuable results.
One of the important considerations in the OF
fertilizers, aside from the increase in the product,
the increase in the frmness of the tomato.
Professor Huston said that special fertilizer
should be used on tomatoes, and should be COM
posed of Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and Potash
the amount of Potash should be nearly twice that OF
the Nitrogen, and six times the amount of Phos-
phorc Acid. In grain crops the reverse OF this rule
is true This fertilizer for tomatoes should be used
freely, and strong and vigorous growth cultivated
from the start. The experiments showed that by
the of this fertilizer, the crop had been doubled,
and the profits increased three times, account Of
the better quality of the fruit"

In connection with the above, we would say,
that extensive experiments with fertilizers in grow
ing tomatoes have been made by the Mary land
Agricultural College and at other experiment sta
tons, The results have uniformly demonstrate i
that large crop OF firm fruit came from the tertj
lizer testing high in Nitrogen and higher still in
Potash in connection with fair percentage of Phos-
phorc Acid, which is found in every complete ferti-
lizer. Our Special Tomato Fertilizer is guaranteed
to test

Ammonia, AZ to 81 Per Cent
Available PhOSph0riC Acid, to 9 Per Cent
Potash, actual, ....7 to 8 Per Cent

The Ammonia is derived entirely from fine
ground steamdred Fish Scrap and Nitrate OF Soda.
These materials combined, furnish the most active
and valuable form of Nitrogen for tomatoes The
Potash is derived from the highest grade source, and
is given in stronger percentage than Tor any other
crops excepting potatoes and tobacco. This partic-
ular formula was strongl recommended by one Of
the state experiment stations, and was used with
great success by the late Samuel H. Miller, who
raised fine fruit and commanded ready market for
all he packed Messrs. Stanley Bros, of Elk Neck,
to whom refer by permission, and who have had
very great success in growing tomatoes with this
fertilizer, used fourteen tons last spring.
Our Bush River Compound is also made ex
pressy for tomatoes, and has been used with great
success in Bush River Neck, Hartford County, and
refer by permission to Mr.. Charles w. Baker,
who has used the goods, and has handled them Tor
several years. This brand is made exactly like our
Special Tomato Fertilizer, the only difference being
it is lower in Ammonia by one per cent, the other
elements being guaranteed the same Farmers who
expect to plant tomatoes and to secure profitable
crop, will certainly have much better prospects if
they use such goods as we have described. These
brands are made expressly for tomatoes, and have
been used with the greatest success in the tomato
growing district Of Hartford County and right here at
home The percentages guaranteed are not only in
accordance with the recommendations OF the best
authorities we have, but the actual formula ma
terias used are those that have proved in many
perments and in actual field cultivation far superior
to all other kinds.

a suit has been brought by William Glea-
son against the Mutual Reserve Fund Life
association, in which Mr.. Gleason seeks to
recover excess payments on mortuary as
sessments. His statement in his petition Is
that on May "A, 1883, when he was Sc years
of age, he took out $1,000 policy or mem
bership, making his wife, Cornela Jackson
Gleason of Liverpool, n. Y, his beneficiary.
He paid his 500 initiation fee, his $40 annual
dues and all the assessments levied At
the age of 65 his mortuary assessment was
$27.50, to which he does not object, but
after this, he says, Notwithstanding under
a provision of his contract with the asso-
citation that his death assessment was not
to be more than $3.50 per $1,000, or $3.50
altogether, after he reached the age of 65
years. he was compelled to pay twelve
sessments of s4140 from February 3. 1886,
and seven assessments of $3.50 from Feb
ruary S, 1895
All these payments, he states he made
under protest, but influenced by threats that
If he did not pay the company would annul

bank and the Omaha Building and Loan as
socation in the injunction suit against the

OF Nicholas and Fourteenth streets. One of
the pieces was appraised at $1,000. The
Terminal company wants both pieces for
switch track purposes and at the same time
to get around the obstacle presented by the
Scott suit, for the condemnation of the
Scott property would give to the Terminal
company any easement in the forty-foot

An unknown man entered the home OF
Henry Green, 1926 North Twenty-frst
street, Thursday morning between 3 and s
o'clock and assaulted his wife. A struggle
of fifteen minutes duration was interrupted
by the appearance of the little son of Mrs.
Green, who frightened away the intruder
Mr.. Green arose at to feed the stock at
the stables, leaving the light burning in
rear room and without locking the door
through which he left. He had been gone
only a few minutes when some one ex-
tinguished the light and entered Mrs
Green's bedroom. The first she realized OF
the intruder's intention was when he threw
the covers over her head in order TO smother
her cries and clasped her around the
shoulders. struggle ensued. in which she
was drawn from the bed. The man choked
her at first, and then placed his thumbs
under her eyes, almost forcing them from
their sockets She was almost overcome
when the little boy appeared. Her assailant
left hastily, picking up his hat on the way
and carefully closing two doors after him.
