North Carolina Corn.

Mr.. John Sandy Covington. United
States demonstrative farm superin-
tendent for Richmond county, su-
perintended the measuring Of an
acre Of corn on the EDITORS farm on
Monday and reported 1872 bushels of
shelled corn. The editor Is very
much disappointed. He expected
l60 bushels at least. It's the finest
corn he ever saw grow. and others
claim to have made 226 2-3 bushels
We have never believed that much
corn was ever raised now we al
most know it. All the other contest
ants get out Of the editors way in
this contest
This corn was raised at a cost of
60 2-3 cents per bushel Near by this
acre Is a good tenant who has ten
acres OF corn that mill make about
$50 bushels on the ten acres. He
used IS worth Of fertilizer to the
acre, or $50 on the ten. 1t cost him
to work it IS per acre, or $50. total
cost 500, or &C 2-3 cents per BUSH
ell against the one acre cost of 60
2-S cents per bushel, besides the rent
for the extra acres, say IS per acre
or SO for the ten acres. or 90 2-3
conts per bushel.
This shows that deep plowing and
LIBERAL manure pays. and the selec-
ton of seed corn is probably of more
Importance. Get right, farmers, we

In answer to the allegation that
the constituted authorities of The

refused to act on information fur

ceedings as method through which
their removal from Office might be

tiffs had established the fact that
their constitutional rights, within the
meaning OF the 14th amendment to
the United States constitution, on
which the litigation had turned, had
been violated and denoted that with
out this fact being fully proved, con-
troversies between citizens Of a
State properly belonged in the State
courts
If Jurisdiction was taken, it is
pointed out. the federal courts might
be appealed to to enforce any and all
of the criminal laws of a State.

to enforce the laws OF Tennessee be-

standing that article four Of section

That Tennessee Is amply provided
with such a government is pointed
out in conclusion and hence the is

OF the United States.

time, of course, in order to influence
the colored vote which is consider
able in some of the States. notably
OHIO and Indiana. And there has
Neen considerable effort OF late
among the negroes OF New York to
throw the vote Of their race to Dix,

that several other negroes have re-

a Lawyers Paradise.

Naples. under Spanish rule in the
eighteenth century. was overrun with
lawyers. OF their profusion Joseph
Addison had this to say:
ut Is Incredible how great a multi.
tude of retainers to the law there are
at Naples. 1t is commonly said that
when Innocent XI. had desired the
Marquis Of Campio to furnish him
with 10000 head of swine the mar.
quis answered him that for his swine
he could not spare them. but If his
holiness had occasion for 10000 law
yers he had them at his service"
IL seems to have been a golden age
for lawyers, for. as the author says.
there are very few persons Of con-
sideration who have not a cause de-
pending. for when a Neapolitan has
nothing else to do he generally shuts
himself up in his closet and falls a
tumbling over his papers to see II he
can start a lawsuit and plague his
neighbors. s."-Dietetic and Hygienic Ga
