Several months ago, the Wil
mington Messenger, one of the
most progressive and one of
the most deserving papers in
North Carolina, said, in effect,
that it was idle for newspapers
in this or any other state, to be
bragging of the enterprise of
the people where thn paper is
published, while the paper's
column are almost erirpty of
advertisements.
There was philosophy and bit
ing truth in th ; Messenger's
remark. The advei Using col
umns of a newspaper a:e the
true and accepted index of the
pluck, push and enterprise of
the people of the town where
the paper is published. Un
less the business of a city is
mir:ored in its advertising col
umns, tho glowing words in the
local or editorial columns about
; he "great boom" the town is
on will be accepted by the gen
eral public, ny the people at
home as well as by the peoplb
away, as the whistling of a scar
ed boy passing a graveyaid.
How eloquently the advertise
ments in today's Chronicle
speak of tho business and the
enterprise of Charlotte! Would
a column editorial in the most
exuberantly boastful language
tell near so well of the business
enterprise of Charlotte, as do
the advertising columns of to
day's Chronicle ? liy no means;
because without the advertise
ments, the boasts would be fool
ish, and with them, they would
be idle, for the advertisements
alone tell the story. Charlotte

The Chronicle is showing en
terprise and industry in behalf
of the interest of Charlotte, and
tho business men have shown
their appreciation by doubling
their advertising spaces and
those who have not before ad
vertised aie falling into rank.
Tiik Caucasian lias no cause
to grumble of the support given
and appreciation shown by the

here for its efforts, but there are
a few who as yet have done lit
tle or nothing in this direction.
We are glad to see othei places

this section should prosper is of
vital importance to us. Tiik

can to accomplish this end. If

The business men of New
Pernehelda meeting last Thurs
day with a view to starting new
manufacturing enterprises. "M.
Quad," (C. Ii. Lewis) of the De
troit tree Press, attended. The
New Re rue Journal says :
"Mayor Meadows asked Mr.
Lewis to suggest some plan of
inducing capitalists to start some
enterprise in our city. Mr. Lewis
in response stated that he learn
ed in Wilmington that they had
just secured an act of the Gen
eral Assembly authorizing the
cuy to remit certain taxes on
new manufacturing establish
ments for ten years. This, he
said would be an inducement to
any manufacturing company
contemplating a move to inves
tigate Wilmington as a favora
ble location. lie cited instances
where towns had accumulated
funds by weekly contributions
from all the inhabitants for the
purpose of either taking stock
in a factory, to buy a site, or to
give as a bonus. After some
discusfion as to whether a con
tribution of that sort should be
raised for the purpose of pur
chasing a site for a furniture
factory of any kind, it was de
cided not to confine the contribu
tion any particular factory,
and for this purpose Mayor
Meadows announced that he
would head the list with fifty
dollars."
A number of others volunta
rily subscribed to a fund for
such a purpose or offered to give
sites for the proposed factories.
"Now," said Mr. Lewis, "you
have done a great deal in five
minutes, and if you xvant to
make things hustle raise a thou
sand dollars to give as a bonus
to the firsi one who will accept
one of those sites and build a
factory."
If Clinton would only raise
this amount, we could have the
much needed canning factory of
out own without giving it away
to get some one else to start it.
POINTS FOR TRUCKERS.
THE MEN WHO HANDLE
OUR TRUCK, AND WHAT
THEY SAY A ROUT
OUR SHIPMENTS.
The Condition of Package as Impor
tant as Quality of Goods.
(Editorial Correspondence.)
New Yotik, Feb., 1889.
Ab our readors are in a great
truck growing section, we have
found time to visit the men who
handle the lanrer portion of
North Carolina shipments and
gather what information rela-
ive to the business we could
for Tiik Caucasian.
When truck is shipped it Is
consigned to a receiver. - The
middle man, or dealer in pro
duce, comes on tho 'dock in the
morning and buys from the re
ceiver the diiierant kinds 01
fruits and vegetables, which he,
the dealer, thinks he will find
most saleable for the day. This
dealer hasua stall in the market,
lie takes his purchasesto his
stall and there displays them.
During the day the grocer comes
to the market and buys from
tho dealer what he (the grocer)
thinks he will find a market for
in his store for the day. Now,
with this class of men, time is
important. So when the grocer
goes to the market be purchases
from the dealer who keeps the
largest and best assortment,
otherwise he would have to vis
several stalls to select his stock
for the day. In the same way
when the dealer goes out iu the
morning to buy his supplies for
the day, he looks for the re
ceiver who handles the largest
assortment and quantity of pro
duce, so that he may readily
make his entire purchase from
one man, and it is not until the
shipments to the large recei vox fl
are exhausted that the small re
ceiver has a chance to sell his
shipments. Therefore produce
in the hands of the large receiv
er, though probably inferior in
quality, almost invariably sells
sooner and for a better price
than produce, though probably
of good quality, in the hands-of
a small receiver.
All this has been said to show
you that tho all important thiDg
to secure prompt and satisfacto
ry returns is to select the proper
receiver to whom to ship. It
will not do to ship to every man
who seuds you a stencil, as some
of our Sampson truckers have
learned m their near and un
pleasant experience with one
Acker man. By the way, ye
have just been around to see the
shanty in which he held forth
Few people here know anything
of him, and those whodid,know
nothing to his credit. Now there
are a number of just such par
ties here as Akerman, who are
constantly sending out stencils,
offering big returns for ship
ments, hut wo hope our people
tvill not again be caught in any
such trap. Every trucker should
ascertain whether or not the
parties t whom he intends
shipping has character and com
mercial standing, and our truck
ers should, in addition, have ma
eye to those who handle large
quantities of Nortj Carolina
truck, because the dealers hav9
learned to go to such receivers
for the kind of truck we sliip.
We will mention a half a dozen
of probably the best of such re
ceivers, namely : Hines & Mans
field, Vogel & Brautigan, S. H.
& E. H. Frost, J. H. Bahvenburg
(fcBros. W. J. & S. II. Daven
port, G. S. Palmer, and G. Fur
man & Co. We would advise
our North Carolina truckers to
to ship to one of these .hoases.
There is no such thing as
overstocking the market of this
place. A small receiver may
easily be overstocked, because
he has only a limited number
of suiaU dealers to buy from
him. But the firms we have
mentioned can always dispose
of your shipments to them, if it
is in a marketable condition,
for they have the largest deal
ew for their regular customers.

OUK AGE AXO OURSELVES.
Contributed.
lne epoch 01 every geneiw
tion, in every period, is its pre
sent age. It is the "golden mean"
that links the extremes of time,
the summit from which we
survey the past and the only
foundation ou which we have a
right to base the fabric of our
future dreams. The reptner
who is sighing for some happy
age, that is no more, is as far be
hind the present age, as is the
age for which he sighs, and so
far as we can see, would be
better in his shroud than in ex
istence. He who whiles away
the passing moments, to await
the "good time coming" must
at last awake to the gloomy
reality that 'all was a dream."
While he who would seek the
philosophy of life iu those who
have swept the arena before
him and apply it to the age in
which he lives, is guided on his
way by "the lights that never
grow dim."
Thus we make the broad as
sertion. We are standing face
to face with an age that is doub
ly important, for it will go into
history as our age of activity
of material and scientific devel
opment. Then it is ov.r n.ne But
where? inquire the malcontent,
and the man of thought alike.
Yet with different minds and
notions, wheie are the evidences
of our prosperity? Let Agri
culture and Manufacturing and
Science and Metaphysics, and
Statesmanship and Monuments
from which plays the electric
spark of the spirit of the age,
proclaim the truth.
August 31st, J.886, in Paris,
was celebrated the one hun
dredth birth day of a chemist,
who has witnessed "the entire
development" of one of the
greatest sciences known to men.
Startling is the answer to the
question. What has a quarter
of a century done for this sci
ence ? Yea, a revolution is
pending thereon to-day. Chas
Darwin the great apostle of the
development theory, which, is mov
ing and stirring the world of
thought, has been dead but ten
years, his prominent successors
are men of the age, and wonder ;
mat long last prodigy, tne "con
necting link" between man and
and the monkey has left his
tracks where the acute observa
tion of one of these scientists
has made the discovery.
Let that noble race who pride
themselves on their liistoric
eenealogy, rather than their
common sense, erect to the hero
of discovery a fitting monument,
and place upon its top-most pin
nacle a monkey of the first edi
tion, for their long sought link
in a now perfect genealogy. But
whatever may be said of the
theory of evolution, in its ranks
are men of thought and activi
ty; and those who would recon
cile it to the interests of Chris
tianity or overthrow it in de
fence thereof, must be men of
thought. "Truth is mighty and
will prevail," but the instru
ment that measures it must be a
fitting one. Naught but the
mental and spiritual activity of
the men of truth could avert a
repitition of the "Dark Ages."
But the forces are gathering.
The lands that are a stranger to
all enlightened men, save the
explorers, together with the
cities that have been buried for
centuries, are confirming the
story of authentic history. In
the interest of benighted hu
manity, the heralds of Christian
ity are increasing their ranks in
Mexico, in Asia, in Africa, in
the isles of the sea, even through
out the world. This is an age
of great political problems.
The spirit of Anarchy that is
troubling the waters to-day, is
but a rea etion of a gigantic op
pression, it nad not its birtn
in America, but America feels
it. "Nc man liveth to himself,"
is a vital truth in Political
Economy. We. think it not
presumptive to assert that he
who amicably adjusts the situa
tion m tne political world, is
greater than Alexander or Caesar.
Not only in the political arena
is the combat carried on, but in
all the pursuits of men, each
striving with unrelenting power
to fill his own coffers, regardless
of the downfall of his neighbor
"just across the street." When
in reality the . success of one is
the success of the other. Men,
nor the pursuits of men can no
more live to themselves than
continents, islands and seas.
One of the greatest geograph
ical truths, written and read
upon all lands "and seas, is that
no part of the globe is sufficient
unto itself, that no tree or rock,
continent or sea was ever finish
ed, that everything has a full
ness that something else naeds,
and wants that soine-ning else
can supply; Without Asia and

home; without Greenland, Cuba
would lose splendor in the cor

SOMETHING INTERESTING
TO THOSE WHO TILL
THE SOIL.
So many agricultural pa
pern are published and articles
written by men, who have little
or no practical experience as
farmers, that information and
suggestions through such medi
ums have fallen into disrepute,
and does but little good. In
view of this fact, we wish to get
the views and tested , plans of
practical farmers fortbis column
each week. So farmers, send in
an account of your success in
any branch of Agriculture, for
the benefit of thefraternity.-&a
FERTILIZERS CONTINUED.
We told you in last week's issue
that wy would this week give
some points on how to supple
ment the barn yard manure.
This can be done in several
ways, first by the use of
Lime
If you take a plant and bum
it and analyze tne as ties you
will find that it is composed of
nine substances, one of which is
lime. So when lime is not
ore sent in the soil in sufficient
abundance to meet the demands
, tt aa-
-
ed. Lime can he of special val
ue in two ways, which should
be thoroughly understood by
every farmer. It is the best
thing known to take the "sour-
nesa" out of land Have you
any land that is water sobbed
aud sour? Then broadcast a
little lime on tho surface of it
in the Spring and you can make
a good corn crop on it the same
year. There is only one other
way to make such land produce.
and that is by ditching aud let
ting it stand for a year or two
The lime does
immediately
what time would have to accom
plish. Another use is in decom
posing vegetable matter and
gutting it in a condition to be
used by the plants. You all
know that if you wrap lime
in a cloth that it will soon eat
up the cioth. Tanners use lime
o eat the hair off of hides. Just
in the same way lime eats up
thorough vegetable matter in
mannre, or in the soil, and pre-
i 1 .
pares it for plant food.
But be careful not to put lime
on light sanay lana, wnicn is
horouKhlydrj and contains lit-
le or no vegetable matter, for
in such a case it will supply no
want, but inflict an injury. Like
tha hst of medicines, it s dan-
gerous wnen improperly usea.
M
or wood ashes in a compost heap
nnless the manure is very rough,
and thfln tlier should be 1 avers
of ditch bank or swamp muck

and hold the gasses formed by
he action of the lime, other
wise these gasses, wnicn are
very valuable, would escape in

ashes are fine manures, but must

AnrttTiM- snlflndid fertilizer is
Salt.
The important office of salt is
to make soluble the manure put
out and substances already in
the foil, for all manure must
. . . .
be in a liquid formbef ore it can
do the plant any good: in this
way salt is valuable to keep the
soil moist in case of dry weath-

Another cheap and important
fertilizer is
Green Xuue, Etc
So far we have pointed out
how to improve all kind3 of
soil bat the upland, light sandy
soil, of which we hav an abun
dance ii this county. On such
land put all tho vegetable mat
ter and swamp muck (which is
vegetable matter partly decay
ed) you can; or rotate crops,
turning under a pa crop and
then planting wheat, turning
uuder the stubbles, and then
peas again, etc. Tho idea is not
only to increase its fertility but
to get enough vegetable matter
in it so that it will hold mois-
ture
Now, in conclusion, allow me J
to urge upon you to think of all
these things and see if you can't,
by using your own brains, time,
and valuable fertilizer mate
rials, (which waste around you)
be'able to save this enormous
expense of buying chemical fer
tilizers. 'Farmers have marvel
ed to see the large results from
application of a few hundred
hundred pouuds per acre of these
fertilizers, and in some quarters
these results have led to an un
dervaluation of the homo-made
manures. The fact that the
concentrated fertilizer, being de-
PosHed generaUy with the seed,
is more linineuLaieiy aviiiiuuie,
does not demonstrate its supe
riority except for the single crop
to which it is applied. The
farmer who owns the land he
tills as most tf our 'annewda
is interested not only in lmme-
diate profits, but in maintaining,
if not increasing, the fertility
of his soil.
Guano acts simply as a stimu-
lant, and if used alone will soon
stimulate land to death. Let
uaput something on our land
that will give it a body and per
manently improve it.
