Plant Growth.

There IS gradually dawnlng a belief
shRt plant growth is more or less Of a
chemical process that may be acceler-
ated or retarded by the application Of
the proper reagents, generally in the
form Of fertilizers. and that the ultl.
mate growth is usually far in excess OF
the value Of the material applied. This
is apropos OF some Investigations that
have been conducted by NJ Nagaoka,
Of the Toxic Imperial university In
stimulating rice growth by the stimu.
lating action Of manganese In the form
Of manganese sulphate. A yield Of 81
per cent over field fertfized in the
usual manner was obtained by this In
vestigator and the value Of the in.
creased crop was equal to four times
The cost Of the chemical applied.

supervision

Under the supervision of
the fire and police board Of
Denver, there are two patrolmen and
four fremen who are representatives
OF the colored citizens. The long
years of service which they have Civ
en- in their respective capacities and
the lack of complaint against them
argues for their ability and leads to
the conclusion that the Negroes are
well fitted for such public service. We
therefore call the attention of the fire
and police board to the fact that the
direct taxes paid by Negroes in this
city have increaed since these six men
were employed, and the voting
strength of our people also is greater.
The great influx of visitors this sum
mer will uscessitate extra police pro.
lection II the beard is desirous OF
bringing our representation TO a fair
basis, we suggest the appointment Of
colored men to some Of the positions
thus created. If this is done, We have
no fear that upon the reduction of the
force to a normal basis, some Of the
Negroes will be found among those
worthy Of regular employment. A dis
position uPtn the part of the police
board to deal fairly with the Negroes
will go far TO do away with prejudice
now existing among us toward the pc
lice department. Wrong begets wrong
aud every act OF oppression by patrol
men has borne its fruit in protection
given to criminals. Both are wrong

Some 'colored" men doing business
and depending upon the race for pat
ronage seem to proceed on the as
sumption that they should be patron
lied because they are "colored." So
they are not accommodating to their
would-be customers They fail to
keep goods that are up to the stand
ard. They neglect to keep their places
Of business tidy and shut out the loaf
ers. As a matter of fact, "colored"
men in business should come up to the
different respects indicated and then
they ought to expect and have the
patronage OF our people.-Charlotte
