STATEMENT
The January. 1802, Bulletin of
the Department of Agriculture
will contain the following state-
The notoriously inaccurate and
misleading reports of the case of
the Board of Agriculture ts. the
Durham Fertilize r Company, and
S- W. Parker, as published in some
of the papers of the State,
the publication of the follow-
correct statement of that case.
John Robinson,
Commissioner.
The Board of Agriculture
v.
The Durham Fertilizer Co- ,
and S- W. Parker.
The case was called at Granville
Court, and several issues were
framed for submission to the Jury.
The first issue was as to whether
the fertilizers which had been
ed in the warehouse of the
Parker were in his possession
and on sale. The other issues re-
lated to the character and
of the fertilizers.
The attorneys for the Board an-
to the Court that the
Board would admit that if the fer-
at the time of seizure had
been actually to the con-
sumer, the plaintiff would not be
entitled to the relief asked for, to-
the condemnation and sale of
the fertilizers, and proceeded to
offer testimony on that issue. The
Court, upon the testimony offered,
and upon the request of the plain-
tiff that it indicate what the
Court would hold, said it would
charge the Jury that the fertilizers
were not in the possession of
Parker and on sale, and the Jury
must find the first issue for
evidence being that the
fertilizers seized had been turned
over by the railroad agent to the
defendant Parker for one Cole as
agent of the White Rock Alliance.
The plaintiffs counsel contended
that as the fertilizers when found
and in Parker's ware-
house had not been tagged accord-
to law, they were not legally
delivered to the consumers for
whom they were intended; but
upon the intimation of his Honor
that he would hold otherwise, the
plaintiff took a non-suit and
pealed. It was evidence, and
not contradicted, that the sixty-one
bags had been in Oxford nearly a
month without tags.
The issue as to character and
composition of the fertilizers were
not tried, it being considered
to consume time by
offering testimony upon them
when his Honor's opinion was
against the plaintiff on the first
issue, which found against the
plaintiff, would end the case.
It thus appears that the question
as to whether the fertilizers were
below the guaranteed claim as con-
tended for by the Department, and
for which it has sufficient proof,
not been decided.
The complaint asserted positive-
that the sixty-one bags of
fertilizers made by the Durham
Fertilizer Company, and seized
in Oxford, were not up to the
claim, and considerably below the
guaranteed value.
The answer tiled by the Com-
did not positively deny this
allegation, but stated as to
this allegation the quality
of its own the defendant
had no knowledge or information
sufficient to form a belief. The
issue was raised in this way.
The letter published below was
written from York, Dec- 21st
to W. D. Co., of Norfolk,
who forwarded it to the
tor for publication that the farm-
of Pitt county might read it
and pass upon the views express-
ed therein.
Dear uplands
cotton is quoted to-day at
in this market, and in Liver-
pool. These are the lowest prices
of the season. The Liverpool quo-
is lower than during
the depression of last season,
while the New York figures are
the lowest prices of that season.
Upon the basis of these prices
the return made to the planter is
undoubtedly less than the average
cost of production.
The depression now existing and
which has characterized the cot-
ton market for many months, is
caused by the excessive supply,
and is due to over production in
this country.
Moat people have a theory that
when any commodity is selling be-
low its actual cost, an advance
must necessarily and speedily fol-
low.
Confronted with the condition
of overstocked markets in America,
Europe and India, and the
receipts from our present
crop, this theory has not been of
the least avail to stem the tide of
depression. Important staples
often sell below their cost, and
com has been so cheap at the
West as to used by the farmers for
fuel.
The price of cotton as of every
other commodity, is regulated by
supply and demand. Combinations
or speculation may temporarily
affect or impede its operation, but
in the end the law of supply and
demand in its relation to values is
inexorable. The cultivation of
cotton is the greatest interest in
the South. The price realized for
the crop affects every business and
industry in the South whose
depends any degree upon
home support.
prices for cotton mean scarcity of
restricted trade, and
embarrassment in
branch of business,
the cotton belt. To secure any
marked improvement in the
price of cotton, the chief essential
will be to give the world some
certain assurance that the present
large stocks will be diminished in
near and not again
by another large crop in
1892.
If such action should be taken at
the South as to induce the belief
that the acreage of the next cotton
crop would certainly be materially
reduced, a liberal prices
would almost certainly ensue.
Spinners and merchants would
not wait for the stocks to be act-
largely diminished by reason
of a reduced crop, but would dis-
count the fact months in advance
of its actual accomplishment.
For years past many of the best
men of the South have urged the
policy of planting less cotton and
more corn. It has usually resulted
in a general acquiescence in the
soundness of advice, while each
individual planter has actually
put in a little more cotton and a
little less corn, thinking his neigh-
would do just the opposite
bring about the result of
cotton high and corn cheap.
Neatly every planter thought it
would be a shrewd thing to have
a full crop of a dear commodity
and a small crop of a cheap one-
The last season resulted in giving
them a very big crop of very
cheap cotton and a very
crop of very dear corn. The pres-
crisis is so grave, involving as
it does many interests besides cot
ton planting, that decided meas-
seem to me to be imperative-
demanded to avert impending
financial disaster to the South.
A reduction of cotton acreage
coupled with an increased acreage
in grain would be of such
advantage to the planters,
merchants and manufactures, that
all should heartily unite to bring
about this result.
An indefinite agreement to re-
duce cotton acreage will not begin
to meet the case.
I beg to suggest that a practical
I plan and one almost certain of sue
results would be for the
Factors and Merchants of each
place to agree with each other not
to make advances to any planter
upon the next crop unless upon
the positive understanding that
such planter would plant ten per
cent, less cotton and devote the
decreased acreage to com in ad-
to his previous acreage in
grain- Then have the planters of
i each election precinct form
per cent. agreeing with
each to put per cent less
acreage in cotton and to put in
corn every acre thus taken from
cotton, for the next season.
With only a fair season, a crop
of bales of cotton can be
grown upon the present acreage.
A reduction of ten per cent, would
probably reduce the next crop to
about bales or less, and
the markets of the world would be
relieved of the pressure of the
stocks.
A larger reduction of acreage
WHY PEOPLE
ARE DRIFTING TO THE TOWNS.
Some Suggestions About Making
Country and Farm Life More
Attractive.
Wilmington Star.
It is a well-known fact that
this country the towns and cities
are growing at the expense of the
country, and that they are draw-
from the farms the brightest
brainiest and most energetic of
the young men and women.
Thousands of the most
and successful men and
men in the various callings in our
cities are country born and conn-
try reared, who prompted by their
ambitions, left the farm and turn-
ed their faces to the cities to begin
the battle of life and carve out
own fortunes. There isn't a
town or city in the United States
many, cheerless and uninviting.
A system like this might not be
generally practicable, but it might
be adopted in many sections, and
in time become a rule instead of
the exception.
Mr. Geo. a wealthy
manufacturer of Ohio, proposes to
try this plan in Nebraska, where
he owns some large tracts of land
which he has divided up and laid
out with this view. He has given
it much thought, and having ample
wealth doubtless carry out his
business-like, systematic
way. There is no reason why it
should not prove quite as much of
a success in this country as it does
in France, and in some other
of Europe, where he caught
the idea.

The Record, of
this week, in its annual review of
the industrial and general business
interests of the South during the
past year, shows that section has
made very solid and substantial
progress and free from any
operations, notwithstanding
the general financial stringency
and the low price of cotton. The
decline in the of cotton is
largely offset by the great increase
in the South's grain crops; but
cotton has so long been the staple
crop that low prices cause a lack
of confidence greater than is
This, however, will pass

TRAINING OF CHILDREN.
It is the duty of all persons who
have entered into the institution of
marriage, and have taken upon
themselves the responsibility of
raising a family, to make the home
both pleasant and profitable for
them. Even n the most adverse
circumstances home can be made
the brightest spot on earth- The
very first requisite to a truly happy
home is a pure, earnest, Christian
spirit in both father and mother;
and the beauty of religion should
be very early instilled into
minds and hearts of the little ones.
Teach them to love and revere the
great God who made them and so
kindly and tenderly blesses them
with home, friends and loving
parents. Teach them to pray to
him by setting the example your-
selves. Erect the family altar and
every evening gather the little
ones around you and pray God to
you in your work of raising
children aright, and I assure
yon He will lend you aid and as-
In this way only can
you expect to make home
happy. Do not, I implore
you, neglect this matter, and in
your struggle for wealth or fame
keep putting it off until some more
convenient time. And, fathers,
do not get that idea, which some
seem to entertain, that more de-
pends upon the mother in the
teaching and training of children
than the father, implanted in
your mind, for it is all a false no-
Just as much responsibility
is resting upon you as upon the
mother, and the greatest legacy
you can leave your children is the
memory of a loving, kind and
Christian father. Surround your
children with as many of the com-
forts of life as your circumstances
will permit, and, if possible, give
them the advantage of a good ed-
Give them good books
to read, and remove them as far as

Monroe, Va.,
January 1892-
An other Xmas is passed. It
was a day that will not soon be
forgotten by the Soldiers at this

witnessed that day at Fort Monroe-

sounded, reminding those who
wished to attend that there be
services in the Chapel. The house

easy victory for the Artillery

boys played on their ground.
As soon as the game began our
boys realized that there was hard
work before thorn if they came out
victorious. It was a hard contest-
ed game from to end-
The score was to in favor of

On the evening of the 29th, the
ladies of the Post gave a Xmas

Orders have been issued at this

Battery Commanders will drill
their Batteries in Infantry tactics.
This is not very pleasing to the
boys, they would much prefer Ar-
tactics.
That unwelcome visitor
has again made its appearance
here as the Hospital records will
testify.
The probability of war with
Chili is still much talked of here.
The Soldiers anxiously await the
reply of that little bantam to Uncle

make some answer very soon we
will have to send over a row boat

As to the second attack, it is
charged that I advanced on Mr.
as he was peaceably
walking the street while he show-
ed no disposition to have a
and was not expecting one.
The truth is he was warned that I
was down own, and that the sight
of him might again inflame my an-
and his wife and others I
am reliably besought him
to remain at home. Despite these
warnings and entreaties he armed
himself and walked down the
street, remarking that he could
shoot as well as I. I was inform-
ed that he was down town, and I
was preparing to leave when I saw
coming in the direction of me
while I was going toward my
buggy. He walked with the air of
one it seemed to me and
who was at least willing for the
fray. The flame which for days
I had by a great effort,
kindled anew, and I advanced
toward him and drew my pistol
and he drew his, and we began
firing almost simultaneously,
continued the contest with the re-
that is. well known.
It is alleged that the entire com-
denounced my conduct
and that threats of lynching were
freely made. This also is without
any foundation in fact. The lynch-
business, if it had been at-
tempted, would not have been
healthy ; especially, in view of the
host of friends who were willing
to give me all the physical and
moral aid in their power. I am
proud to feel and know that the
great majority of the people of my
who do not feel that
a libertine should be sheltered
from punishment when he invades
a virtuous and happy home, even
though he wears the name and
garb of a minister of the Most

matter.
While I regret the fact that I
was brought face to face with Mr.
and thus my anger be-
came aroused beyond my control
on the second occasion named, I
nevertheless do not reproach my-
self for inflicting upon him the
he then received. The
good, true and devoted wife
innocence my victim sought,
though in vain, to assures
me that I did right; the prevailing
voice of the best men and women
in my community is one of

Mr. Mills has almost entirely re-

There are no new
in the situation. The ad-

stirred up the country is now
waiting to make up its mind what
to do next.
The republicans cannot hide the
anxiety they feel about Mr. Blaine's
intentions; they want to know just

The year 1891 is numbered with
the things of the past- The year
1892 is a reality. It may be well
to stop a moment and consider.
Another year gone We cannot
recall it. How much improvement
have we made How much have
we aided others in their progress
Are there any lost opportunities
Has this year found us better than
the one before If not, whose
fault is it
These and many other such
questions very naturally suggest
themselves to us just at this sea-
son. Generally this is the time for
forming new resolutions which are
so soon forgotten. We drift back
into the same old tracks and each
succeeding year finds us in the
same old paths that the preceding
did. Many of us probably in our
review find ourselves retrograding
both morally and financially. The
present year especially does not
seem to offer a brilliant prospect
for business. Be this as it may
it does not become us to spend our
time deploring this sad fact. Bet-
far gird ourselves afresh for the
struggle which ties just before us
and battle nobly to go forward
with the confident hope that in the
end, with duty performed, all will
be well. Our Jives as the years go
by should become more and more
noble, trust more implicit, our
grand opportunities for making
the worm better because we have
and less often wasted.
To and to all of our readers
and patrons we say a prosperous
year that shall close with a better
record of deeds well done.

have been resorted to in the hope
of getting the wily Secretary of
State to declare himself. At a
dinner party this week, attended
by a score of Senators and
belonging to the
party, it was decided to send
an embassy to Mr- Blaine, in the
person of Col. W. W. Dudley, who
ever since his falling out with Mr.
Harrison, has been an ardent
Blaine man, with a request for a
positive yes or no as to his
his party's candidate. Dudley
called on Mr. Blaine and devoted
almost an hour to the most
arguments ho knew how to
make, and left as wise as when he

has received many letters from all
sections of country, commend-

tariff bill in sections, by
means of separate bills pro-
for the amendment, or
outright repeal of the worst sec-
of that law. Mr. Springer
thinks that the committee on Ways

of these tariff bills early
in the session, and that they will
be put through the House with-

respectfully to ask that you will
give me the privilege of correct-

erroneous statements alluded to,
and also to refute sundry slander-

stories to which such
invariably give rise, in
the certain assurance that a just
sentiment will sooner or
see he has his due and that
truth shall triumph. This is the
course I much preferred to pursue
in regard to this matter, and only
the peculiar nature of some of the
charges referred to impels me to
break that silence now.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
our Regular
Washington Jan. 1st, 1892.
A prominent Democratic
of the House committee on
Appropriations, talked very inter-
of the situation to your
correspondent. He am
afraid that there is a disposition
on the part of Democrats to expect
too much from the present House.
Reforms under our form of gov-
must necessarily be slow,
even where both branches of Con-
and the Executive are in ac-
cord. We have to contend against
a hostile Senate and Executive.
but we hope to come about some
reforms in the tariff and in the ex-
of the government.
There may be a slight difference of
opinion in the party whether
it would be best for the House to
and pass an entire tariff
ill, according to Democratic
ideas of what such a measure
should be, or to pass a number of
bills correcting the inequalities of
the present tariff law ; but there
can be none as to which of these
plans are the most likely to bring
practical results. The first could,
of course, be passed by the House,
but it could not possibly get
through the Senate, while there is
reason for believing that several of
the latter can be gotten through
the Senate, thus throwing the re-
for their defeat upon
Mr. Harrison.

Thanksgiving; Meeting.
On last New Year's Day,
a number of farmers and ethers,
under the auspices of the Alliance
met in the House to hold a
thanksgiving service. The meeting
was called lo order John Fleming,
Esq., President of Greenville Alli-
who after briefly explaining its
purpose requested Rev. A. Hun
to conduct the religious exercises.
Appropriate remarks were made by
Rev. Mr. Hunter and by Messrs. E.
A. J. White, E. P. Daniel, L.
A. Harry Skinner, John Flan,
and others. All were agreed
that notwithstanding the short crops
of the past year and hard times
that now stare every one in the face,
there is still much for which its
should b returned to God, the
giver of all good. The
expressed by many of the
speakers were beautiful, and
pressed all hearers with the that
none are as thankful to the Heavenly
Father as they should be for
many blessings He sends upon us.
The custom of thanksgiving is in-
deed a beautiful one and we are glad
that the Alliance, among its other
good works, sets apart one day in
the year to be devoted to this
pose. This meeting last Friday was
truly an enjoyable one, and those
who could have attended but failed
lo do so missed an occasion
have done them good. That
man is greatly lo be pitied who goes
on day by day enjoying God's bounty,
gathering in the Messing on every
hand, and never once looks up with
grateful heart to the source of all
these mercies.

On Monday night of last week
two barns on the farm of Mr. G. F.
Evans, four miles above town, were
set five and burned to the ground.
The barns were filled with corn and
provender, and all was lost. Mr.
Evans has been living in Greenville
the last two months and was
prised when information of the burn-
reached him, not knowing that
he had an enemy. The burning very-
much excited the community in
which it occurred. Suspicion rested
upon some colored men living on the
but no warrants were
taken out for arrest.
day night another barn on same
farm, containing crop housed by
a colored tenant, was set on fire and
burned down. Circumstances point-
ed still more strongly to parties
upon whom suspicion lay as the ones
who set the other barns on fire, and
late Thursday evening warrants were
issued arrest of an old man and
two grown That night Sheriff
Tucker took Messrs. J. L. Sugg and
Ola Forbes as deputies and went to
serve the warrants, each going singly
in a buggy expecting to bring a
oner back with him. They failed to
find any one where the lived,
but found the two young men at a
house about two miles further up the
road. They arrested these, the
Sheriff taking one, Mr. Sugg the
other, and putting Mr. Forbes in
the lead they started back to town.
They had just crossed the mill run
in the ravine above the
farm, nearly three miles from town,
were starling up the hill when all
three of the vehicles were suddenly
surrounded by a a company of dis-
guised men who dragged the prison-
out and with raised pistols and
guns told the officers to drive off.
The officers did not need to be told a
second time but made for town as
fast as their horses would bring
did not know whether
the parties who took lire prisoners
did so to lynch or lo release
them and no one could be recognized.
Next morning the town was all excited
upon learning what had occurred and
the air was lull of rumors that the

proved this to be a mis-
take. The were at
their home, alive but dreadfully
scared- It has been said one of

Saturday they were arrested again

LOOKING BACKWARD.
BY J. C. MYERS.
I look back o'er the past
With its eventful years,
All shrouded with sorrow.
And sprinkled with tears.
The pleasures of childhood
Have passed from my sight.
The deep shadows of age
Come on with the night.
In the valley behind
Where life's battles were fought.
Lie the defeats and the victories
Which in time I have wrought,
have all been recorded
With an infallible pen;
The road can not be gone over
My mistakes to amend.
The old homestead in the valley
n the distance I see;
The meadows and
Ring with st range children's glee,
The house, as I approach It
As In days of yore
I hear whispers from
-There's a stranger at the
Through fields where once
I followed the
The swift Iron horse
Goes plunging along now.
Vast forests by the woodman
With his slain;
In their place I see growing
The ripe, golden
The hills, then like mountains
When covered with snow.
Furnishing sweet pastime
When coasting we'd go,
Now seem so altered.
As if shrunken by time;
How short seems the distance
To their tops I climb.
The moss-covered school-house
That stood on the hill
Where first I began
My young mind to drill,
With its broad fire-place
And rough puncheon Boor.
Has all torn
I can see it no more.
My playmates, where are they
Scattered far and wide;
Some of then are sleeping
By the old master's side.
How fast the time
It seems but a day
upon the same spot
We all met to play.
How little we
the road then
Which lime on its wheels
Would hurry u- o'er;
Of the losses and crosses
With which we'd contend.
Before the unknown journey
Would come to an end.
I am now in the midst
Of life tide;
From its height I'm permitted
To see but one side.
With the past I'm acquainted,
The future unknown;
With faith as a pilot,
To her shores I am borne.
I will stop at a station
My companions have found;
them before
Those green little mounds.
There I'll rest with my kindred,
By dear mother's
Till Jeans my brother
Calls me over the tide.

the is meant the man who
believes in and upholds the Amer-

because there is nothing
like it elsewhere on earth. It is an
American institution- The ht
is not between the drinker, the
man who thinks he has a right to
drink alcoholic liquor, the
Prohibitionist. The Prohibition-
does not deny that right; the
Prohibitionist is not fighting
drinking; nor is he
fighting the illicit drink-traffic ; he
is fighting specifically,
and victoriously, the saloon
traffic. The saloon means license,
it legal permission, for
a money consideration, to engage
in a traffic whose whole trend is
to work damnation in the com-

Americans, it is the exception. It

ever taking a glass as a beverage.
