The following report comes to us from Augusta, Ga.: “A movement is on foot to devote the trust funds left to endow a free school in Augus ta to establishing a textile school. The free public school system has de stroyed the need for a free school, while the demand for a textile school is urgent.” The Textile Excelsior seconds Au gusta’s efforts for a textile school. Let her establish one by all means. And to show our interest and support of the movement, wo beg to announce that the One Hundred Dollars we off ered last week, as the first subscrip tion for a textile school in Charlotte, is now a general offer to any city in the South taking the first step in this direction. The publishers of this pa per will give One Hundred Dollars to any Southern state establishing tin- first bona fi le Textile School. If Au gusta continues the movement just begun she may claim the hundred dollars from the Textile Excelsior, and she would no doubt secure more subscriptions from manufacturers and industrial loving citizens in Georgia, the Carolinas and elsewhere in the South. Or we will give the One Hundred Dollars to Charlotte, Columbia, Spar tanburg, Atlanta, or any other place which is the first to establish a South ern Textile School. CHEROKEE’S WATER POWER.

(Correspondence of The Ledger.) Blacksburg, June 21.—I noticed in the Atlanta Constitution of May the 24th an article stating that in the county of Gaston, in Xorth Carolina, there are twenty-two cotton mills in operation. Being well acquainted in and with that county, having lived there twenty-one years and gone over every part of it, I am well acquainted with the facilities for running those mills by water power. The report states that a great many of them are run by water power. Gaston is not as large as Cherokee county but it has more than seven times as many cotton mills. Cherokee county has on Broad river in a distance of six miles, beginning at Cherokee Ford and going down the river to Man ning's Hhoals, sites enough to build as many mills as Gaston has and to run a larger amount of spindles and looms. This I know to be so. But these fine powers are all idle except. Cherokee Falls, and some of the pow ers are far superior to this one al though it is a fine one. What I began this for was to let outsiders know the advantages Cher okee has in regard to water powers, j and in doing so will give an opinion j of how much fall there is at each ! site with the height of dam necessary 1 to control this water. I will say i something in regard to falls at the ! i different places. At Cherokee ford the fall that was used there was about six feet, with a nine foot dam, ! giving fifteen feet head and fall, ' which gave power to drive machinery : enough to run a bla^t, to blow six I forge fires, run a 1,500 pounds ham- I mer, a rolling mill, a nail factory, two forge blast furnaces and machine shop, blacksmith shop with six forges, grist mill with four run of stone, and a saw and stamp mill, and there was never any lack of water to run the whole. Both sides of the river have not but can be utilized for i machinery. ' The next is the Cherokee Falls that can be used on both sides to ad- ! vantage. There is a natural fall of | fourteen feet at the mill with about j four feet on the other side, with the ' t whole river to supply’water there as at j the ford. ! There is about six or seven feet i | fall at the Hayden’s place on the east ' prong of the river, which, with a five • or six feet dam, would give about j twelve feet head with half the river to furnish power. I do not know j what the fall is on the west side of the island, but think it very fair. Then there comes the Martin shoals ' or fulls, superior to any, in my opin- j ion, in the southern states. I will l not have space to describe all the ad- j i vantages of that magnificent location ! for machinery, but it is far superior i even to the fur famed High Shoais of ; Gaston county. With the ad van- | ' tages the Martin shoals has it will ; only need a dam of about two and a 1 half or three feet in height to control \ three fourths of the river. The Mar tin property belongs to the heirs of j Morgan Martin, and they are in very j moderate circumstances and the place is very little notice:! they not having : influence to bring it into notice. Im- ! mediately at the bank, with the dam : already mentioned, there would be ! twelve feet head, then by driving u tunnel some eight hundred feet long through a bill something over one ■ hundred feet high into a small stream known as Bear creek, that runs into : the river about half a mile down from | where the dam should be, will get | from thirty to thirty-five feet head j and fall, with first rate location to build on, and, from the formation, I ; — — have the opinion that the rock taken ] 1 out in driving the tunnel would go Don’t forget the shirt furiM lessening the expense of the work, us the rock taken out would ; be fine for building purposes* as it is l seamed rock. The expense of the ! tunnel has been estimated us low as ! $2,000 but my opinion is that it , \ * /-v * • , would cost from fS.fJUO to $10,000, S3.!3 S.t \nf . CJ.

Pools Chronicles. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Tool’s June 21.—We are needing rain very bad, although it has not been long since we have had rain. The hard winds and the hot weather are the cause of it. Crops are looking very well. We had some hard wind yesterday even ing. Mrs. Mary Mabry is very puny; also Uncle Thomas and Mrs. A. L. Kennedy. Most of the people are sowing their stubbles down with peas. Some of our people have nice water melon patches. If we can get rain in a few days we will soon have ripe melons. We have plenty of black berries—the poor man’s fruit. We are going to have our children's day next Saturday. We will have plenty to eat, anu also plenty of cool ice lemonade to drink. We hope to have a nice time. Tuku. & Bro.’s this week. We Have Good Authority. For saying that the Henrietta Cot ton Mills, Henrietta. X. C., recently declared n dividend of J percent., not 8, as reported. Mr. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the Burton House, Burton, W. Ya., and one of the moat widely known men in the state was cured of rheumatism after three years of suffering. He says: “1 have not sufficient command of language to convey any idea of what I suffered; my physician told nel. The machinery would then be entirely away from freshet or flood, anywhere below thirty feet above common water. There are four other sites down the river within two miles of the above, g 't>d on both sides of the river with, tails from five to ten feet. I forzot to mention the old King’s Mountain rolling mill site directly across the river from the Martin site with twenty two feet used at the mill. Mr. Carson, 1'iitod States’engineer, gave the full thirty feet when sur veying the river by order of the gov ernment. In the island between the old rolling mil! site and the Martin site there is a fall that would give fourteen feet head. There are others. The Gaston falls are some two miles above the AirLine bridge and the White mill site • m 11 your iH'i Mpraln*. wt* if »* # r• • It •». <•-> #:»i> »■ t iiiitrc*.

FARM CONVENIENCES. lotiul Mtavir- That Slay l»<> VhcmI by One Person— Hardy Device. When measuring land, it is sometimes necessary or desirable to do the work more accurately than it can be done by pacing. The accompanying cut, from the Farm and Fireside, shows a land measure which can be used by one per son to better ad vantage than a chain or lopo by two. The wheel measures just 8 feet, or half a rod, in circumference and is made of 1 inch band iron or of barrel hoops. The spokes are- a cross of light wood an inch square, halved to gether with a piece of half inch siding nailed on each side over the joints. These act as washers ami make the wheel good land measure. run more smoMhly. To k< op the spokes in place nails are driven into the emls through punched hob s in the hoop. A quarter inch hole in the center to re ceive the bolt completos the wli -el. Tlie fork is also made of sticks like the spokes, with a short piece lor a han dle nailed between. This latter should be a little wider than the hoop and rounded off at the end. As the revolutions of the wheel have to be counted, it is handy to have one of the spokes plainly marked. Paint or a string tied around it will do this. If smaller divisions than half rods are de sired, the spokes indicate eighths of a rod. Many times one wishes to swing a heavy article—a bag of grain or sack of potatoes—just clear of the floor in order to weigh it. A handy device orig inally described and illustrated in the New York Tribune is shown in the sec ond cut. Two hooks in the. longer rojs- accommodate it for use with low or high articles, while a little book well up on m The Goldsboro Mill. R. H. Smith, who has been engaged as Superintendunt of the Wayne Cot ton Mill, Goldsboro, X. <J., for IS months, called at this office and in formed us that the above mill is shut down on account of overproduction. Said mill has in eight months pro duced from 8S Whitio looms 1,000, (XH) yards of .*» and 4 yard goods, and only 500,(HXi yards of the goods has been sold, the remainder is packed away for higher figures. The mill will not start up again this summer, and it is probable that the motive power will be silent until about Xew Year. — — Destroyed By Fire. The enterprising little city of Ci.e- raw, F.

This device is so easily made that sev eral can be ronstrncted and hung in a number of the farm buildings where it is occasionally necessary to weigh arti cles. Onion* For Market. Here is what a successful York state specialist says in The New England Homestead: Onion growing may be di vided into culture in the kitchen gar den, the market garden and on the farm, lu the market garden the first tiling un der consideration is the soil. That best suited for the onion is a dry, .sandy loam, not wet or soggy, for if it is you will have nothing but scullions at the end of the season. Take a piece of laud that has had early potatoes, and as soon as these are dug haul on plenty of well rotted barnyard manure; spread evenly. Plow, not too deep, bat just deep enough to cover the manure. Then sow rye on it at the rate of six bushels per acre. Don’t be afraid of sowing your rye too early in the fall. Don’t plow too early in the spring, but give the rye a chance to start. By plowing it again in the spring you get all your manure on top, just where you want it for onions. The roots of onions are all near the surface. After going over it with a good smooth ing harrow the ground is ready for the seed. Make the rows 18 inches apart. They might be nearer, but I think this near enough, because it gives a better chance to work th< m with a double wheel hoe. Whm Iho onions are about four inches high, sow on wood aflhes at the rate of 100 bushels per acre broadcast. I never thin my onions, but leave them as the drill sows them. Harvest as stxm as the tops die ami sow rye as in the fall pre vious, ready for another year’s crop. If these directions are followed, I promise you a fine crop of onions. Potato Fertilizer*. Fertilizers on potatoes have been the subject of exhaustive experiment at the Ohio state station and numerous substa tions. Phosphoric acid seems to have Ims-u the controlling element in increas ing yield in all these tests, whereas, ac cording toThe New England Homestead, in many of the southern, middle and eastern states potash sn-ms to be the more necessary element. In the Ohio test the lowest cost per bushel of in crease was obtained by the use of super phosphate alone, but the greatest gain per acre was with 1,100 pounds per acre of a complete fertilizer containing nitro gen, phosphoric acid and potash. Muri ate of potash and nitrate of soda when used alone did not give profitable in crease, but proved beneficial with su perphosphate.
