maturity where all the food is pur-

SOILS AND FERTILIZERS.
The Farmer should Know His Soil
and Feed IL According to
Its Requirements.

Every farmer should know his soIi,
and find out the best he osn, what
it lacks to produce good crops There
are SO many different yarities Of soils
that it is rather difficult sometimes
on the same farm to determine lust
what is needed. Here in middle North
Carolina there can he found almost
every kind of soil, from a stiff red
clay to very sandy loans, What most
of our farmers consider the best for
cotton, is a gravely soil with a red
| clay foundation.
I find under the intensive" system,
| that our Chocolate" soil is better
for cotton and grasses than any 9th
er we have. When not taken care of,
however, this kind is the least prof.
liable Of any; but when improved and
gotten full of humus, nothing beats
il for standing a drought. The fault
most farmers find with this soil. is
that the cotton does not open wei,
and a gerat many of the bolls decay.
This is because they do not use
enough potash and phosphoric acid.
! have often noticed where there was
piece of chocolate soil in a field
and all under state of high improve
ment, the chocolate would make more
by far than soil Of a different nature.
Another thing about this soil is. il Is
very light, and care should be taken
IN not blowing it too deep when cul-
tiyating a crop,
\ soil that has no clay foundation
is very hard to improve, for most
fertilizers leach through in short
time. There is a good deal Of this
soil, and often the owners are at
loss to know what manure to use. /
think the best commercial fertilizers
to use in this case are kainit. acid
phosphate and cotton seed meal,
There are thousands and thousands
of dollars paid ont annually for fer
tilizers that are Of little value TO the
farmers. by buying bainit, acid phos-
phate and cotton seed meal, we can
make fertilizer at much lower
price, as good as any we can buy

gethcr is small matter, and this can

ton,
Apart from his recognized ability
and thorough knowledge of the history
of our country, including the unwrit-
ten, as well as the written history Mr.
Adams was especially competent to
undertake this work on account Of the
advantages which his position gave
him for knowing the Inducements
that really directed affairs far more
potentially than those which were ytsi-
bic to the general public however
keenly obseryant. He has given q most
instructive and valuable contribution
to history, and no American who has
ambition to be informed in regard to
the great diplomatic events Of his
country can AFFORD to omit its perusal.

and that it is not special plea in any
ones behalf, Too much of our so-called
history is a distortion of the real
truth In the effort to glorify patrons or
friends. The corrective TO these hero
worshippers comes SLOWLY, but it comes
at last through the iudlcfous labors of
conscientious investigators. An illus
tratlou of this is given in this work Of

They charge the Captain with turning traitor to the Coosa River project. in that he made a magnificent speech on one occa- sion in favor of the improvement of the stream. declaring at that time. that sucn q movement was necessity to the com mercial interests of the State. and in his report to the committee he said that no improvement could be made prohtapie unless $20,o 600 De spent on the stream. A proposition altogether impossible. In short. the Representatives say Captain Judson left the people of Alabama under the impression that he was highly in fa- vor of the proposed improvement, ana then practically killed the project with his report.
 They have already started to work to get an appropriation in spite of the com rnittee reports submitted. Chairman Burton of the Rivers and Harbors Com rnittee, has promised them that new survey should be made of the stream. and they will take the fight for the Coosa into, the Senate. where they hope to have an appropriation adequate to the import ance of the stream made.

Roosevelt Delays While Merriam

Washington. March 5.-(Special. .)-Presi- dent Roosevelt is surely widening the gulf between himself and Congress by his delay in signing the permanent Census Bureau bill. Today the indigna- tion of Republican and Democratic mem- bers alike, broke out into words and in several parts of the house after adjourn ment warm expressions of feeling were heard It is charged that the President is withholding his signature until Director Merriam can fire out nearly all the present force of 2300 employed in the bureau. Then the new force of 600 or more must come in through the civil ser vice door. the Presidents pet hobby.
 A clause in the bill provides govern ment employment for the present force if 1t is signed before they are all fired out by Merriam. So that the President, by withholding his signature, deals a blow at the employees who were put in hy Congressmen of both parties. It Is declared by many members that the bill never would have passed the House had If not been for the clause which seeks to retain the present force. and since 1t is rendered ineffective by the Presidents de- iay they are hot.

SLAVERY IN PHILIPPINES.
Governor Taft's Testimony Before
 House Committee.

Washington. March Ex-Governor Taft was questioned further concerning slavery in the Philippines by members of the House Insular Committee today. He said the number of slaves who had been manumitted was comparatively small. The commission had undertaken no legis- lation as to slavery and the action taken by the military had been first to release Christian slaves and second to prevent slave raiding parties from capturing slaves. Besides this there was the con- stant moral influence being exerted to- ward the eradication of the situation.
 The Moros. he said, were warlike, but not formidable and he gave an amusing account of a war between a Sultan and Dato lasting two months with the loss of two killed and four wounded. The Gov ernor said polygamy was confined to the Datos and head men.
 Representative Williams Of Illinois asked if any Sultans or Datos were car- ried on the American pay roll
 Governor Taft said he believed Dato Mandie was, as the commission had recommended his appointment as forest ranger The Sultan of Jolo and his Datos under the Bates treaty. received stated amounts quarterly. They were supposed to keep order and prevent crime but the Governor of Jolo was rather deficient in his duties.

Boers Can Expect No Assistance from
 America.
 Washington, March 6-Messers Vol marans and Vessels, the Boer represen- tatives who came to the United States from Europe for the purpose of confer ring with the Secretary of State have achieved their purpose. They were re- ceived by Secretary Hay at Il o'clock thts morning.
 It was distinctly understood that the Boers were to be received as private citizens and not in an ofiicial capacity.
 Secretary Hay talked with them freely with this understanding. The principal object of the delegates was to induce the United States to do something to termi- nate the present bloody struggle in South Africa. They were not very specific as to what they wanted and apparently would be satisfied with almost anything from intervention direct to a simple tender of the good ofice on the part of the United States. The Secretary of State heard them attentively and promis- ed them to consider their representations and to do whatever he could to ameliorate the conditions in South Africa. But the pointed out that the President was the prime authority in such matters. and he recommended that the Boers see Mir. Roosevelt and ascertain his views.
 Later in the day Messrs Wolmarans and Vessels, accompanied by pr. Frederick Mueller of the Orange Free State. called at the White House. They were received by President Roosevelt in the library and remained with him about fifteen minutes. They called as private citizens. MT. Roosevelt listened to what they had to say and then informed them that this government cannot and will not interfere in the struggle.
