Those writer's who are 50 anxious
to spend from a quarter to a half
million dollars of the peoples money
in these days Of scent cotton are
blinded by the glitter OF their pros
porous surroundinss-factories and
railroads, which are controlled by
gigantic trusts and combinations,
capitalized with European and North
ern money. They feel rich and do
not realize the condition OF their
farmer cousins who have no source
of income but what can be derived
from pulling a bell line over mule.
The farmers, who pay the greater
portion of the taxes, cannot form
trusts to force prices up and they
cannot afford to 60 down into their
jeans to spend money es freely as
their trust and combination-backed
brethren who have fortune in sling
and can twirl it at their will. The
manufacturers, railroads and other
corporations may be willing to go
their share of a quarter to half mil
lion dollars to complete the State
House whether the same IS an abso-
lutte necessity or not, but the farmer
cannot afford anything beyond dire
necessities and prefers waiting until
fortune smiles little his way.
We venture the opinion that not q
man holding State Office will 60
before the people advocating an in
creased tax to finish the State House,
nor will candidate for the Legislst-
ure advocating such a scheme be
elected outside of the manufacturing
districts. We approve OF all pro-
gressive movements, and will en-
dorse any scheme which will bring
money into our State and give en-
ployment to our people, even if money
has to be appropriated for the pur-
pose. In doing SO we expect re-
turn, but in voting to increase the
already heavy tax to improve build
ing which answers the purpose for
which it is used, in our present con-
dition we regard extrayagance.

Charleston has been troubled of
late by the finding of dead white in
fants on her water front. No clue to
the parcntage of these cast-aways has
been found, nor is their any likelihood
of ever finding out who the heartless
mothers are that, to hide their shame,
have added murder to their guilty
souls. Suppose the '.two negroes"
who so my steriously killed Thomas
Pickney he interviewed, they may
probably throw some light on the
mystery, and should that fail, get
Secretary of War Alger, to institute
a court of inquiry to examine the Of
ficers of the regiments which captur-
ed Charleston's social centers; per
haps if the truth can be squeezed out,
the finger of suspicion will not point
at the middle or lower classes, where
the glitter of brass buttons and Shout
der straps was seldom seen.

elated, and will tell every body about
that great honor done him and at once
feels himself raised 80 pounds in the
social scale "Walk in my parlor, -
said the spider to the fly.
Many a one, that has thus been
treated has had ample time to repent
being long ago sold out of house and
home by his city "friends."
Yet after all, there is no use to com
plain. The farmers have been, and
still are, the makers of their oppress
ors. The railing against trusts and
combines is useless. They are here to
stay. They seem to be a paramount
necessity for the profitable carrying on
of any business. To fight trust with
trust, and combine with combine, to
organize and CO operate seems to be the
watchword in the struggle for the sur
vival of the fittest, and those that fail,
or cannot do so from some cause or an,
other must go to the wall and become
hewers Of wood and drawers Of water
for those that can.

correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
When God made man he pit him IN
the Garden of E en- and commanded
him to till the soil and get his living by
the sweat of his brow. Soyou see that
forming was the first vocation God
gave to man. God knew it then, as it is
TO day, the most important of all occu
pations. If it is the most important of
all occupations, it should be the most
honored and most lucrative. But what
do we see to-day We see the occupa
tiou trailing in the dust, the poor
farmer, poor in this worlds goods, and
last, but not least, ignorant in knowl-
edge.
Nov, my brother farmers let US look
>at the other indus :ries. We see all of
them prosperinR, factories uot only
working night and day, but are build
ing larger ones, declaring dividends of
of 80 to so cents on the dollar. All of
them are dependent on the products OF
your labors. You are the producers.
Now all of this is radically wrong
There ought to be a change. We can
make a change. Will you not say
there must be changeG
Those who handle the most OF your
products can sit in his Cffice at Liver
pool, smoke his 81 Havana cigar, drink
his MADEIRA wine, telegraph to the
United States, have his agent here to
look after the planting Of your cotton,
have reports sent as to culture, until it
is ready for market, and the price is
fixed before it is picked out.
Now, my friends, to the rescue Let
us cut off our cotton aud tobacco crops
one third and make 600, 900 bales of
cotton, and my word for it, you will
get 10 cents per pound for your 1900
crop as the supply will not be equal to
the demand II something is not done
soon to advance the interest OF the
farmer the trusts and combinations,
which have their chains wound around
YOU will have them so tight that
death alone will sever them. To the
rescue, my friends, to the rescue.
Respectfully,

NOTES AT THE GEORGIA STATE
FAIR.
Editorial Correspondence.] ]

Editorial Correspondence.l
One of the most striking and varied
exhibits we saw in the agricultural
building was the collection from q
Georgia one horse farm. The man
who made the crops, gathered and
brought them to the fair is no 'one
horse" affAir you may be assured with
out doubling the accuracy of our esti-
mate when you beginato try to name
the different kinds of things he had ar
ranged in good order. There are at
least three Of these exhibits.
The Georgia Experiment Station had
an iD teresting and well arranged ex-
hib.t Of farm products, insects of eco
n0mic Importance, photographs OF the
farm experimental grounds and crops,
stock, etc. A mounted botanical col
lection Of grasses and plants poisonous
to animals and man were placed on the
wall. One feature OF this exhibit
ehowed the relative amount of each in
gredient in ton Of fertilizer for crops
made up according to formulas shown
painted on cloth on the wall above the
uoEanical specimens.
There are many Georgia horses but
few good cattle, Georgians seeming
to prefer to turn out and see the stock
brought for inspection by Northern ex
nibitors, but this may not be a lasting
condition since they buy freely OF the
fnest stock and will soon have as good
as eau be brought to them, If they are
not too careless on the tick, dog, and
cholera questions.
These are burning issues hero as we'll
al in the Old North State. One lady
we met lost only 50, 800 worth of Jersey
COWS in brief month by ticks. A
Georgia legislator is as certain of being
relegated to oblivion by proposing a
dog law as legislator in any other
State.
The poultry show is the great attrac
tion during the last days of the fair
and il is large and fine one.
The judge possibly knows all the
breeds without referring to his stand.

til.zer, and he will not be compelled to
buy nitrogen at ell, especially if he
uses his cotton seed as suggested.
But what shall he use and when shall
he apply the tertil z zer9 We have al
ready remarked thai it has been found
that the mineral plant food in the
shape Of phogphoric acid and potash
give better results when applied some
time previous to the planting of the
crop, and we know too that liberal
broadcast application of these is better
not only for the improvement Of the
land centrally, but for the crop of cot
ton. The experience OF cur South
Carolina friend points to this.
Few farmers realiz9 the short time in
which tertil zers applied directly in the
furrow under the plants are available
to the plant. The part of the roots o.
any plant which are epg aged 10 col.
lecting food are near the extreme tip
Of the small rooslets, and when these
get beyond the area in which the food
was applied and begin to forage in
poorer soil, a deterioration in the
growth and fruiting mustresult. Hence
We have become fully satisfied that
even for the cotton crop a broadcas
application is best in the final results
on the crop.
We would like some of our friends

supply of nitrogen. On the rest Of the
field apply the fertilizers at the time of
planting in the furrow. I have little
fear but that you will find that the acid
phosphate and potash applied this fall

next year than the spring application
in the furrow. And not only this, bus

NORTH CAROLINA FARMING.

Mr.. 6. B NJ. Farmer, of Jackson
county, writes US that the acreage Of
wheat there is unusually large.
The Norfolk VirRinian Pilot says:
One cf the finest stock farms of the
North Carolina section contiguous to
Norfolk is Avoca. near the head OF the
AlbemerIe Sound, in Bsrtie county. N.

acres OF fertile well watered land aud

his connection with the Avoca steam
power fisheries and the artificial prop
syatious Of sha6.
Mr.. George E. BoRgs, of Haywood
county expects to exhibit s7me OF his
apples at the Paris Exposition. The
Bone Democrat states that Mr.. Moses
Il. Cone. OF Blowing Rock, is also pre-
pairing q lot of Watauga apples for the
exposition. The fruit is being carefully
packed, will be shipped to New York
and put in cold storage until spring,
when Is viii be exported to France.

The Commonwealth wants Scotland
Neck to establish a great peanut
cleaner. Writing of the matter in it's
Iast issue, the editor says: Scotland
Neck is the largest peanut market in
the world, That is to say, Scotland
Neck handles more Spanish peanuts
than any other market. The Common
wealth makes this statement on good
authority OF a number OF Weli-posted
business men Of the community. Those
who have studied the matter carefully
have become convinced that the farm
ers ought 20 get better prices for their
peanuts. One OF the surest means of
securing beEter prices for the farmers
is to establish a great peanut cleaner
right here et the very gates OF the
fields which prOduea them in such large
Quantities, so that 5he peanuts may be
sold directly 20 the cleaners and thus
