the Chemical Manufacturing Company,

was lo pile up a large surplus and Jj
thus inspire public confidence and fc
dividends were not declared for five t
years. Atter that time 25 per cent. v
dividends were declared every two ?

of 150 per cent. The surplus is c
$5,000,000, the undivided profits c

North Carolina is becoming accustomed
to the emigration of negroes to

| o?iuu Carolina, nowevcr, is oc^ihning
to kick in the traces at the emigraut
agents who dare to invade the

Mr. W. E. Reynolds, of the Queen
and Crescent route, returned last night
from an extended trip through those
two State*, searching for emigrants.
1 He found no opposition iu aud
: around Goldsboro, N. C., out of which
several agents were forced to take a
hurried departure last year. The peopie
there seem to have become aecus- (
tomed to the departure of negroes and.

; Reynolds found a different state of ,
circumstances existing.
He went to Woodward, a small
! place, and secured seventy negroes for (

for more, but as the train rolled up the (
statioumaater met him and told him it
would be safer for him to remain on j
the train as the citizens were "laying ,
for his scalp."
Mr. Reynolds presumed the agent j
knew his business, so he remained on
the car. He is thinking of buying a j .
pair of wings with which to fly to and ! <
from Woodward when seeking emi-! (
grants, as it is a fruitful locality for; <
this business, the woods being full to I <

negroes have left the two Carolinas;

Subject Iinpjti8i"nately Di?cussed by
Mnjor Woodw^d**1Capt. Shell's Call is
Without A?*nori*y &nti an Unwise Plan.
Messrs Editors: Numerous inter'ojr?cories
have been addressed to me
>ers?naily and several letters written
sking my views in regard lo the
armera' convention, which ha3 bceu
ailed by Mr. Shell, president of the i
ate farmers' movement. With your
>ermission I find it more convenient to
nswer through your columus than t >
eply separately.
1 was in gym pat by witti tuis moveaect
and I am yet in sympathy heart
tid soul with any movement which
lakes reasonable promises of anythingDr
the good of this the moot imposed
pen of all our classes of citiztns, but
am not of those who -.v id go reckjssly
into a movement which bycreattig
discord amongst ourselves might
ndanger the lights and liberties of all.
tow, what is the preposition anftnnr>fd
in Mr. Shell's nrofilatnfttion?
Ve are asked <o send delegates to a
onvention to be assembled in Colum ia
on (he 27th of March for the puriose
of nominating State officers from
Jovernor down, subject to ratification
iy the Democratic convention, which
neets in the foil for the same purpose.
?his is equivalent to saying in one
ireath: we distrust the ability and inegritr
of th? Democratic convention
rhose functions we propose to usurp
nd with the next is making a proposibn?in
fact a distinct agreement?to
lava thim nction supervised and enlorsed
by a bedy which in Mr. Shell's
(pinion is too vne 10 oe irusteti wun .
he rights and interests of onr farmers,
tnd which moves and instigate* "ring
ule" and perpetrates rarious other
liaboli?ms loo tedious to mention,
fhe fully of this proposition is too
)'ain to reqnire argument. But what
vas the highest and most urgent duty
>f Democracy in the past and what is
ts plainest and most urgent duty now?
rho^e of you who wore the harness in
7G wiil doubtless recollect that our
;reatei*t troubles were dissensions
tmougst ourselves and differences
ipon the greatIeadingqnesiions which
irose. and it was only by drawing the
)arty lines sharply?in fact by adoptng
and abiding by the famous 8ih
Article ot our Constilutiou?that we
verc able to make progress at all.
\nd it i? from a knowledge of these
ac'.s that our beta leaders, from Ilampou
down, not only looked with jealous
sye?, but reallr deoouneod any political
movement uuiside the required and
egularlv established rule** of Denocrucy.
What right has nuy one to
ntimaie, therefore, th?t the nominees
>f thi# March convention will be enl>>r?e4
'j_r the I>em?x;miio party in
Migtut? Is it rather nor thedntrof
bis convention mi nbuve Mr. Suell
md his adherent:? fur their in?ub<?rdilatioti
in endeav?'i to institute new
nethotl* uii'i inaugurate radical 1
;liae?^?-? in the body politic c?nt?ide ihe
t-guliifiv cotifttiiu'ed channels? We
ire told that no harm can possibly
e?ult from this new departure as
svery issue will be decided within the
jmy. These &ause gentlemen told us
hat liieie was nothing of a political
lautre in the farmers' movement, atul
if their la>vi meeting in Columbia in
December, 1SS7, unanimously pas-ed
he following:
l*Resokcd, That it is not the purpose
)t the lariuers ot the Mate to make
heir organization a political body,
30>tiie to other ciassos, nor is it their
intention to attack the integrity of our
State officers, nor their policy to ar aigu
or dietaie to the Legislature."
And yet, Cupt Shell now asks us to
evolve ourselves into a distinctively
political association, making nominaiion?
for offices, e'e.4 etc. We are also
expected to asaune an attitude of hoslility
to all other classes, as is clcarly
mplied by their exclusion from his
invitation to attend. The integrity of
>ur State officers, as well as that of all
Mhers who differ with him, is impugned,
and he unequivocally arraigns
hp TiPor;sln!.irf? and havinor crnnfc
hrough the House now proposes to
;Iean up the Senate. In plain English,
ray good friend and old comrade,
:he _Cdi}taij].v has. keen fit to go back
upon every tenet and principle of the
faraiciV movement as distinctly set
forth by themselves, and now atks us
to stultify ourselves by accompanying
bim in his departure. A? has been
asked by another, where docs he get
bis authority to call this body together
for any such purpose? I deny his
right to do so, and as a farmer and
Democrat, I hereby enter my protest.
If there ever ivas a time when we, the
jjemocratic party, snouiu stana squarely
6houlder to shoulder it is now. If
the signs of the times indicate anything-,
they teach us that without this
nuiry and harmony we -are indeed
uudone. All the wiles and bribery of
the contemptible partisan administration
at Washington have been aimed
fruitlessly hitherto at our division and
overthrow, let us see to it that we do
not destroy ourselves. If we, the
farmers, are to have a convention for
political purposes exclusively for ourselves
and there is anything in the
principle that the genius of good govommont
frmcicfc in fht? nmnop vr>rkro
sentatian of all interests, why shan't
the lawyers call a convention in their
interests and the merchants and the
laborers and artisans do the same?
What criticism could we make of their
action and what would become of ihe
civiliz&tion of our country if they
imitated our example and acted thus?
Let me say, in conclusion, that the
?ld plan is geod enough for me. I
always distrust reformers ?o-called.
When men can see nothing but evils in
others which they are anxious to have
opportunity to correct by filling tne
offices themselves, I always conclude
that the desire for office precedes the
wish for reformation. And so it may
be in this case. Who can say that the
slate is not already made np and that
this attempted agitation is not, in the
interest of a particular set of aspirants?
The farmers have a stronger and
better organization through which they
can make themselves felt whenever it
is desirable to do so. This I am willing
to see used, not in the oppression
of other clashes, but as a means of selfdefense
and in the promotion of all
general useful interests. Ii the villainies
of which Capt. Shell complains
exist why not discuss them openly in
our Democratic clubs? and then, if
they be fuu;. J to be true, do what the
Alliance teaches us to rlo?go to the
primaries &n:l lo;> off all thieves and
cut-throats. Thnsnccornplishing what
we have a right u< ?U> wi;hoai flaunting
our superior liglueotisncss offensively
in the f;;ces of our brethren and
and establishes 110 precedent for any
*ect or class who, encouraged at the
Dvcrthrow of Democracy in this instance,
will make (heir nominations in
Lhe future regardless of confirmation

Broadcast vs. Drill Manuring.
With increasing drift in the direc- ,
tion of intensive farming, the question
--* T?~~ ,3 in q n n vi n or Iaaitic
(Ji uiuituuusii yjil uiiii luuuuw.p
up more and more. Under the old time
extensive system broadcast manuring
seemed out of the question, the quantity
required being-so enormous. Farmers,
therefore, fell naturally into the practice
of drill of hill manuring. The exception
"was in the crse of small ffrain,
and that, because it was un voidable.
Now, that heavy manuring is on the
increase, and the ratio between the
quantity of manure and the number
of acres is narrowed down,, it is well
to enquire which is really the better of
the two. The first point that suggest
itself is, that the roots of plants follow
man are, that is are most abundantly
developed where the most manure is.
Concentration of manure 1:1 hill or
drill means, therefoie, concentration
of roots iu the saTe places. Now as
plants take up moisture through their
roots, iu such case they would get
their supply mainly from hill and
drill, not from the whole soil. Would
tliis not entail a very scanty supply
in seasons of drought? The case
would be somewhat similar to that o*
a plant that had been disturbed by
plow or hoe, and whose connection
with the soil was with one or two
roots only. They might live, but
could not grow. Again, m uim; UJ.
drought, with a limited amount of
moisture in the drill and a large
amount of manure there, the solution
of the manure -will be strong and
concentrated. It would be like
putting a large quantity of salt in a
little water. Now, experiments have
demonstrated very conclusively that
plants thrive best when supplied with
very weak, extremely weak, solutions.
Every farmer knows that some
manures "fire" or "burn up" their
their croDS iu times of drought, whilst
the same produce most excellent re- j
suit when rains are abundant. Strong
solutions in the one case, dilute solutions
in the other. Broadcasting
man are brings it in contact with all
the moisture in the soil and insures
weak solutions, even in times of
drought. Corn is given good distance
to enable it to stand drought. This
means that it then gets moisture from
a greater area of soil. Let its .-oots
find manure, as well as moisture,
j !
wherever they go. Moisture ana
manure must go together. Of course
the smaller the quantity of manure
applied, the less will be' the injurious
results mentioned above.
An application of ore hundred
pounds of chemical fertilizers per acre
in the drill would not be likely to produce
co icentrated and unwholesome
solutioi s. Applicatio i of two hundred
pounds or upwards in the drill
arc dangerors. A little concenti-ated
manure put in the drill near the seed,
promotes the early iormaaon ox roots
and gives vigor to the youn?- plant.
The supply bein^ soon exhausted,
plants quickly send out roots in eve-.'y
direction in search of food and
moisture. The evi's referred to, therefore,
do not occur. Each year's
experience inclines us more and more
to the opinion that when manure is
applied liberally, a little only should
be put in the drill to start the plants
i off strong and thrifty, but that the
most of it should be applied broadcast!
to invite the most widespread
distribution and developemehtof roots.

THE COTTON MABKET.
Latham, Alexander & uo., Uanter*
& Cotton Commission Merchants, have
issued the following circular letter:
New Yokk Saturday, Feb^JAf
Dear Sir: On the littTof October,
1889, in our last sixteenth annual book
of Cotton Sta ti?t:cs ? e said; "Tne demand
is so good that a higher plane of
value for cotton than lor some years
past seems likely for this season."
Tnis prediction has been fully verified

Tbe statistical position to-day as
compared with former years is ai
follows:
Total visible supply in tbe United
States, Europe, and'at sea for 1888,
2.960.887; 1889, 2.793.071; 1890,2.983..

1888, 10$; 1889, 10*; 1890. 11 5-16.
With the large increase of new mill.*,
new labor saviug machinery and a
greater demand fr->m a greater population
baring greater capacity to buy
cottcu goods consumption has overtaken
production, has exceeded it and
tbe pfcee in the face of a good crop has
naturally advanced.
Beside the great legitimate demand
tho tninnlricr intpreaf. aner.nlatora
"V"' 7 "I
in Europe and America have been
sagacious enongh to profit by heavy
purchases and even at this time, this
latter element which oftentimes ignores
supply, demand and prices, seem
inclined toward a further upward
movement
The season began with small stocks
in the hands of spinners and although
our crop promised well at the begin
Ding the larger expectations will not
be realized; 7.200.000 to 7.300.000 is
now a conservative estimate, for no
such season for the early market cf the
crop was ever kno vn before.
The growth of cotton is restricted to
a small section of developed country.
It can only be produced by hard labor,
aud such labor in the cotton fields is
not yearly greatly augmented as is the
case in the cultivation of other
products.
Cotton is a monoply that cannot be
easily overthrown except by over pro
duction in the climate and soil where
it is grown.
All species of agriculture are much
depressed on account of low prices.
Cotton is the only exception, and the
Southern planters cau congratulate
themselves that they begin the new
year so hopafully, for they alone can
produce now, a crop worth $300,000.000.
that is readily marketable all over
the world. Yours very truly,

-Who is that," &>ked Mr. Common

"Why, ilia old Mr. Wells; he has
iust been killed by Spri.?
Common
Prcn told about it,"
^^^RmionSeiise. "Well, I will
teil you," said Mr. No Sense. "You
see th2t old Mr. Wells is very old,
though no older than Mr. Springs. He
broke down humbugging people for
many ag?s. vyo can trace mm <iway
back in Abraham's time, and by the
by he was popular then, too, because
people knew no better than to believe
iu him. But now none but very ignorant
people will have anything to do
T*ith him, although he has fooled people
even i? modem Even the
poet Word worth speaks of him; so
did an angel, aud even Christ injhis
day.
Mr. Common Sense?Look here,
Mr. No Sense, explain yourself,
as I don't understand this sort of
mumbling about old Wells in the Scriptures.
Let us hear if, and all about it."
tr a il t >
"All 1'igUl, iUr, VyUlIllUUU OCIiSC. ill
the fir^t place old Wells was full of just
such water as vrus produced by the
star called Wormwood, that the angel
speaks of iH K.-\vlafion?, and killed
everybody in the end, that had anything
to do with him. Why Christ
spoke of him is in this wise: he speaks
of an old sepulchre, that was nice, white
and clean, but inside very foul and
charged with all manner of uncleannaam

Mr- Common Sense?"But how
was thai: like old Wells?"
Mr. No Sense?uYou see Mr.'Wells
used to .uave a frame work over him all
painted up first-class and looked a9
pretty ?.s a diamond queen and successful
in fooling a great many people
with his outside looks, but inside of
him he was full of toad frogs, etc., too
horrible to think about."
Mr. Common Sense?"Yes, bat what
about the poet Wordsworth? '
"Yon see,Mr. Common Sense-, Wordsworth
spoke of an old oakeu bucket
that used to be down in wells till it
jot very bad and nasty, having moss
an it; there was so much manure on
it that ii suited the garden better
thau the stomacb."
Mr. Common Sense? ' Why does the
poet call it iron bound bucket?"
"Because it was necessary to have
iron hoops on it, otherwise it would
not pull up all of the old cals, doys,
rats, toads, and the liki?, that fell into
Wells."
Mr. Common Seiue? uTell tnc all
loouc mis iuss ueiween oprings ami
)](l Wells, and what Springs said and
ivhat weapon he used."
"Yon know Saul slew his thousands
uid David his tens of thousands, ar.d
jofsiblv Napoleon and Alexander the
3reat tbeir millions, but Springs said
ft'clls slew his billions. That :n?.dr
Wells mad, and that started it. So
