STANLEY'S MEMORIAL.
A Great MonoIith Placed Over the
Grave of the Explorer.

A Great Monolith Placed Over the
Grave of the Explorer.
London, Dec 30.-In Pirbright
church-yard a memorial of remarka-
Bile kind has just been placed over
the grave of the late Sir Henry NJ
Stanley, the African explorer, whose
widow was desirous of securing for
the purpose some great monolith,
fashioned by the ages, tempered and
colored by time, and untouched by
man" Search was made, especially
in the neighborhood of Dartmoor,
and eventually a large granite mono
lith was discovered that appeared to
be suitable. 1t was in recumbent
position, forming part of a fence on
the roadside, and three of it's faces
were known to have been exposed for
many years.
This stone, which is II feet long,
feet wide, 2 feet inches thick, and
weighs six tons, was conveyed from
Devonshire to Pirbright with much
difficulty, and 1t now stands with the
simple inscription, Henry Morton
Stanley" also the name by which he
was known on the Dark Continent,
"Bula Matari" (the Rock Breaker) !,
the word Africa" and above all
cross.

Iion might aid in discovering the per-
sons who were responsible for the
commission of gross frauds that had
been revealed in the contempt pro
ceedings. There must have been per-
sons behind the election officers and
court believed, to prompt the COM
mission of such frauds
The court decided that the investi-
CATION shall go into frauds of any
kind which constitute a violation of
the orders issued by the court prior
to the election. All the ballot boxes
will be opened at the county court
house and the ballots and books will
be examined by two experts, one TO
be appointed by counsel for the pc
titioner and one by counsel for the
people in whose name the interfer-
ence of the court was originally
sought The court will appoint a ref

As to Home Mixing of Fertilizers.
Editors Progressive Farmer

Editors Progressive Farmer
Although it is rather late, I wish
to call the attention of your readers
to the question of mixing their fer
tilizers. I have always heretofore
mixed my own fertilizers, but when
I had gotten prices recently, 1 found
that 1 could buy the complete ma
nure, a little cheaper than 1 could
the different ingredients. Hereto
fore / have been able to save about
three dollars per ton by mixing at
home. I am unable to suggest why
this difference this year, except that
meal is very high. Would be glad
to know if other farmers have had
similar experience.
Yours respectfully,
JOHN MCDOWELL.

E01COrS Progressive FARMER:
Cumberland County Farmers AL
lance will hold it's next regular meet
ing with Wade Sub at McMillan's
Chapel on Wednesday before the sec
ond Thursday in April, 1904.
The time has arrived for the farm
ers to begin to haul fertilizers to
their farms and get ready to plant
cotton and other crops. They had
better decrease cotton acreage one
fourth and increase fertilizer at least
one-third more than last year, be-
cause labor is scarce this year and
cotton hands will be hard to get at
any price. Saw-mill men are getting
ready to begin work at their mills,
and a good many hands will work
where they can get the most wages
for their labor.
As the year 1904 has started out
with a boom, it would be we'll for
the Farmers Alliance to make a de-
cided effort to thoroughly reorganize
the grand Old North State once
more. We should constantly think
of our Order and talk it up every
where we go until every farmer in
North Carolina shall know its worth.
