A NEW ROAD TO BE BUILT.
One That Will Give North Carolina
Another Outlet, end Forna. a
Strong Competing
Line.
Washington, I). C. ? C. F. Z. Cara
cristi, the manager of the Petersburg &
Chesterfield Railroad, has been actively
engaged in listing capital in ,the com
pany's project in this city, iu Philadel
phia aud in New York. He reports that
a party of capitalists, with the chief en
gineetof the road, Francis R. Fava, and ,
t lie head* of the contracting firm, ''The
Wood bridge & Turner Engineering
Company," of New York, will go over
the route in a few days, and constructing
operations will begin as soon as the con
tracts arc elosed.
Mr. Caracristi states that the proposed
roa 1 is to traverse a belt of country very
rich in mineral resources, especially gran
ite, coal and bog-Tron, and also that the
timber is all of the finest iu Virginia.
The road will connect the Atlantic and
Danville, Norfolk and Western, and
Powhatan and Farmvilie roads, with
Richmttnd and the North, and if direct
connection can be secured with the Rich
mond and Chesapeake road a route can
\bc established^ between North Carolina,
Petersburg, Manchester. Richmond and
Baltimore, which will be Considerably
shorter than any that now exists. This
w 11 als >, if operated in connection with
the Richmond and Chesapeake, give an
~otrt4^tr to Richmond and Southern freight
at a convenient point on Chesapeake
Bay.
Mr. Caracristi has appointed Fran
cis R. Fava. consulting engineer of the
city, to be the consulting engineer of the
company, aud directed lum to prepare at
once the report: &n*fl plans necessary tor
the construction of the road. '
Coal Mining in North Carolina.
The Manufacturers' Record reported
wme mouths ago tlie organization of thf
Greensboro Coal ?fc Mining Co.. fonned
to investigate a coal property in Stoke*
county, N. C., and to develop it if in
vestigations proved the preseuce of goo 1
coal in paying quantities. Experts h ave
bcea at work on the property for some
time, and their reports are so favorable
that the company has decided to put in
a complete mining plant at once. The
coal is of a semi bituminous character,
apparently of a fine quality for coking,
though no test has yet been made. One
veiu is 36 inches and one 5-1 inches; the
third vein, not havit g been opened up,
its thickness is not reported. The report
of the experts say that tlics coal can be
mined and put on the cars for 03 to 70
cents a ton. The company h:is made
.such careful investigation that it is reas
onable to believe that that their expecta
tions as to the quantity of the coal and
the etise of mining will be fulfilled. If
so, the development of this property will
prove of great value to all North Caro
lina. It will afford cheap fuel for all
manufacturing purposes to the growing
city of Winston, which is but a short
distance from this mine, and create a
still greater prosperity there and help to
huild it up as a bi<r manufacturing cen
ter. And should it prove to be a good
coking coal it would materially aid in
the advancement of all the iron interests
of the State.
Southern Society Presidency.
New York City.? The annual election
of the Southern Society will take place
in a. few days, and it promises to be one of
the most spirited contests ever held in
the club. Captain Hugh R Garden has
been tTie president of the society for two
vcars. Last year a numj>er of the friends
of Dr. James H. Parker yfoposed to nom
inate him, but he was retired after Cap
tain Garden's friends, who claimed to
speak for him, promised that if Dr.
Parker's name was withdrawn ho would
get a clear field this year. Dr. Parker
was nominated a few weeks ago and
Captain Garden was also renominated.
It is believed that Captain Garden will
adhere to ihe agreement and withdraw
his name. Dr. Parker, who will proba
bly be elected, is president of the United
States National Bank, commander of the
Confederate Camp and president of the
New York Club. lie was formerly pres
ident of tire Cotton Exchange and vice
president of the National Park Bank.

A Curious Barfce of Honor.
S od after the Canadian Pacific Rail
tray bad reduced the jouruey betweeu
the far northwestern provinces of the
Dominion and the capital from half a
year or so to a w?vk, a Blackfoot Iudian
Chief, who had nueu converted by mis
sionaries, taught to speak English and
civilized cue or two decrees, was easily
induced to make a tour of the older pro
vinces of the country about the time the
annual missionary collection was being
taken up in the churches. It was justly
calculated that his appearance at mis
sionary meetings iu various churchcs of
the denomination which secured him
iw^uld stimulate interest in the work.
^ The chicf entered into the idea with
enthusiasm. He set out from his far-of!
reservation iu his native costume, but
bcfoiehehad been in the towns many
days he acquired an ambitiofc to wear
the white man's clothes. Tho pCoplo
who had him iu charge coaxed him to
retain his Indian garb, fearing that tlis
picturesqucness of their cjrongo would^
be destroyed by the change. Hut the
chief was stubborn and had his way. Oa
the night chosen for his appcarauce bc
ferc an Ottawa audience he came on tho
platform dressed in a Prince Albert coat,
broadcloth t rouse r?, prunella gaiters,
flowered waistcont, white shirt, a gaudy
liand kerchief around his neck and a bat
tered brass warming jwn in his hand,
which be carried with Considerable
pomp.
The audience eujoyed him and his
kettle immensely. At first nobody un
derstood why he carried it. Then it was
explained in an interval during which
the chief was got out of the ball into u
dressing room. A lludson Bay Com
pany agent who had got into a tight
placo up in Rupert's Land, as the region
was called then, and had been rescued by
this chicf looked about his poet for some
thing with which to reward the Indian.
He had ttaded all his stuff for skins and
could Cud nothing left which he could
spare, except his brass venting pan
which had been sent out to hiin. by an
atlectionato but deluded maiden aunt in
England. Arguing that it would please
tho heathen anyway, he polished it up
and presented it with great formality,
telling him that it was a niafck of high
distinction among white men to own such
an article, and that few amOug them had
attained that honor.
The chief was delighted, lie carricd
it with h>m on all special occasious aud
any effort to explain the true circum
stances to him was repulsed as lies, for
the Indian could not be persuaded that
they were anything else but covetous at
tempts to get his badge of distinction
iroin him. ? New York Tribune.
Growing Peanuts.
c ;
Peanuts grow best oa rathor light,
sandy loams, especially when they con
tain a good percentage of lime. The
presence of this last substance seems to
Inessential to the full development of
peanut, and when not naturally
promt in tho soil must bo supplied.
This may be done by broadcast applica
tions of lime ? ten to twenty bushels of
slacked lima to the aero ? or by composts
into which land plaster enters, or acid
phospates, as tht^c last contaiu a largo
percentage of lime. Ashe* ulso con
stitute a good fertilizer for pe^uts, as
these contain a good deal of lime, also
|K>tash. Titc yield is very variable.
Wo have no data before U4 to say what
the average is, probably not exccediug
thirty bushels per acre. Land is pre
pared as for other crop3 and thrown into
low, flat beds, three to four feet wide,
according to variety grown. What is
termed the Spanish peanut docs not grow
as largo as 3o:r.c others and may be
planted ou throe foot beds, hills two feet
apart. The crop i* planted about tho
same time that corn is, usually in March.
The whole *ut may be planted, but
plants do not come up as quickly a3
when they arc shelled. planting
is delayed from any cause, it is bettcj^to
plant the shelled peas, two seeds fa cicTls
hill. When the plants appear they are
plowed and hoed at lirst like any other
crop. As branches fonn an 1 spread out
dirt should bo sifted uuder their ends
with a plow every vcek or two, but
the branches should not be disturbed by
the plow. The pcanut^blossoms abovo
ground, but when tlun^loom drops the
embryo nut deceit ds into the ground by
a lengthening of its stem. If it docs not
get into the soil it aborts and comes to
nothing. It is important, therefore, to
have fresh loose eirth in which th? nuts
may bury themselves, also that the vines
be not moved, because when disturbed
the nuts will be pulled out of the grouud.
Sonic persons place dirt on the vines to
press them into t'^e ground and. cover
the nuts. This is uot necessary if dirt is
properly sifted undcr> the ends of tho
advancing limbs, and is objectionable
because it smothers more or less of the
leaves. ? Southern Farmer.
Is Siiotv ft Fertilizer?
The query is ?tio\v a fertilizer? is often
$sked. Tficrc cunuot be a bt'Uer reply, j
perhaps, thau this one by the Country
Gentleman: It was common nmy !

value at best. The amouut of nitrogen I

The special committee art considering ?

contest was between the first three: The

agreed to throw in a band. Omaha
