FARM RIGHTS" FOR FERTILIZER
FORMULAS.

A few weeks ago we noted the
statement that professor" Michael
M. Lipps was endeavoring to sell
''farm rights for the manufacture of
home made fertilizers" to the farm
ers of Iredell county. A letter re-
ceived last week reports that he is
still playing the same game. Before
purchasing let every farmer get a
copy of the January, 1901, "Bulle-
tin" of the North Carolina Depart.
ment Of Agriculture, and read what
State Chemist Kilgore has to say re.
garding Lips methods and processes
as described in his "Manual." One
paragraph from DR.. Kilgore's article
we quote:

tween the covers Of the Manual.

called Secret Processes any evil
dence whatever of a single process
that would 'asbonish the scientific
world, OF any other world, unless it
be the use of a certain material in.
the compost as plant food which has
no direct value as such, and the
further unscientii, procedure the
directions give for mixing the Chem
icals' in the fertilizer for all crops.'
AS the Manual is copyrighted, and
the force of the law threatened upon
any one infringing on the right of
the process, I will not be more
specific in regard TO these references.

such as would not be endorsed by anv

plant food, fertilizers, and the action

no .hesitancy whatever in stalking
my reputation and standing as a
chemist in making the assertion that

ment, or a new anything in either

The recent epidemic of lynch law
reminds the Nashville Christian Ad-
vocate of another evil close akin to
the much discussed mob law. It's
statement of the matter is worth re-
peating: "There are other applica-
tions of lynch law than those where
the physical man is killed without
proper trial. There is much of it in
the social life, where character is
dealt with in the same way. Many.
fair names are lynched without any
application of the principles of JUS
tice or fair dealing. Have you not
some of these mobs, companies
of men Or women lynching the good
names of othersY"

1t is a little dff7cult to understand
Kansas Is a prohibition state. and it is
against the law to run saloons. And
yet saloons are run and apparently are

Guilty in spotting them, and sometimes
in breaking down the doors and forcing
an entrance. Everyone knows where
the saloons are, for they are not hidden
from view, and are conducted just as
saloons are conducted ia states where
license exists
One would naturally suppose that if
the sentiment OF state demanded pro-
hibition that same sentiment would de-
mand the enforcement Of the law. One
would also suppose that If a person, man
or woman, should lead a raiding party
and destroy property, and in doing so
should people the streets with mobs.
arrests would be made and prosecutions
follow and punishments melted out. But
not so in Kansas
AS the running of a saloon Is against
the law, saloon property. we presume. Is
not held to be property. and so the des-
truction goes on with accomplishments
like horsewhippings and assaults and
the like. and the policemen have their
hands full in quelling disturbances, and
no one seems to be responsible for any
thing that is occurring. not even the
running OF the saloons.

There are yet worlds to conquer" for
the cotton manufactured Of the Uni
ted States. True. their exports OF cotton
cloth have increased from 136 million
yards in 1890 to 25s million yards in 1890,
and would doubtless have been much
greater in the last year but for the ex-
tremeIy high price Of cotton. Yet when
the exports Of cotton goods by the Uni
ted Kingdom for the year 1900 and pre-
ceding years are examined it becomes
quite apparent that there i still a large
opportunity awaiting a people who can
plant the factory beside the cotton field
and operate it with cheaper coal. better
machinery and more skillful and efrec-
tive labor than that OF the nation which
transports its cotton many thousand
miles. brings its coal from thousands OF
feet below the surface and yet distrib-
utes more than billion yards OF cot
ton goods to the world every year

total expectation Of cotton piece goods
OF all kinds in 1900 was 5.O34, 250. 500

ports for the year. despite the fact that
tour-ffths OF the raw cotton from which
1t was made was produced in the Uni
ted states. The total importations of
raw cotton into the United Kingdom in
1900 were 15.736,172 hundred weights, OF
which 169 hundred weights were
from the United States. 2.7Ss. 722 from
Egypt. Sss.77s from India, 2704e2 from
Brazil and 1901 hundred weights from
other countries. The total value Of the
cotton imported into the United king

HEALTHFUL EXERCISE.

The fashion of walking is becoming
more and more popular. Women nova
days realize that there is nothing more
beneficial to health than fresh air and
exercise and as to be healthful is more
than half way towards being beautiful,
women are beginning to take exercise
with the pleasant certainty that they
are improving their appearance.
With few notable exceptions the Wo-
men Of the end of the eighteenth CEN
fury and the beginning OF the nineteenth
lost their looks a a comparatively early
age. No doubt they would be astonished
at the youthful appearance and spright-
ly manners of some of the women of to-
day who are we'll on the shady side Of
40; but in those days there was very
little opportunity for any woman of
gentle birth to take much exercise, or
to indulge in sports or athletics Of any
kind; they led such restricted lives that
they faded early, and old ladies We're re-
signed to looking their age and consid-
cred it inevitable.
Nowadays we are all as young as we
feel, and the younger we are in years
the older we feel we are in experience.

Property Loss by Lightning is the
subject OF an article by Prof. J. Alfred
Henry in the Weather Review. The sta
tistics cover the calendar year of 1893.
The total number Of reports received
OF buildings struck and damaged or
destroyed by lightning was 6527, about
three times as many as were received
during the previous year. In addition
to the above number, T29 buildings
caught IRE as a result Of exposure to
other buildings that had been set on
fire by lightning. The approximate loss
IN the 2.S25 known cases was SS.016.520,
or an average loss of nearly 81. 100 per
building. The number of insured build
ings in the United States struck by
lightning during 1889. according to the
Chronicle Fire Tables. New York, 1900,
was 2.7e0. with a total loss. including
exposures. of SS.s13.525. or an average
of a little over s.. 400 per building. These
figures are largely in excess of the cor
responding values for 1897 and 1895. a
considerable number OF strokes was re-
ported as falling upon various struc-
lures. such as windmills. derricks. oil
tanks. coal breakers. bridges. vessels
railway cars, threshing machines, etc
The damage to property OF this kind 20
far as reported was s215.622. The num-
Der Of electric power plants struck by
lightning during the year was 70. Care
ful watch was kept for cases Of over
head trolley cars being struck by light
ming. Some Observation-Disclosures cases OF
direct lightning stroke were observed,
but in no instance was there loss OF life
Or great destruction Of property.
