THE USE OF POTASH.
BY 0. L. JOYNER.
In view of the tact that land planted
continuously in tobacco for a number
of years deteriorates orlcses some very
important plant lite producing element
in the tobacco crop, tobacco faimere
lastead of complaining as we are all
prone to do about poor crops and low
prices, should set about to ascertain
what is lacking in the soil to make to-
bacco better. ~Tobacco culture is a
branch of agriculture that requires the
exercise of. a good deal of serious
thought and business judgment to make
it profitable and unless it is profitable
it is a most expensive crop.
After noting a good many instances
of this kind I am led to the ~conclusion
that in order to make better tobacco we
need more potash. I think it would be
a good idea for tebacco farmers in ad-
ditiun to the quantity of guano they are
accustomed to use add enough potash
to run it to at least 4 or 5 per cent.

order the potash for you and as ths
additional cost will not be very much.

pugilist of the world, left this city last
night with his trainer, McVey, for Salt
Lake City, where he is booked to give
an exhibition on Wednesday evening.
Champion Fitzsimmons will also give
an exhibition in Salt Lake City on the
same evening, and the spcrting people
are anxious to see how the fighters will
draw. Some small bets were made yes"

crowd than thechampion, The Cali-

The business of a bank president is

A GOOD MOVE.
On the 28th of Apri! there is to
be held at Southern Pines, North
Carolina, a oSouthern Inter-
State Insurance Conference.�
The members of the Conference
are to be delegates appointed by
the Governors of Southern
States, presidentsT of Boards of
Trade and Chambers of Com-
merce, Mayorsof cities aud towns,
and editors of lsading newspa-
pers. -
The object of the conference is
to specially calT the attention. of
the Southern people to the large
amount of money that'is annually
going out of the South for life
and accident insurance. It is
said that for every dollar paid to
persons insured South, two dol-
lars zo out. Itis certainly time
Southern men ware investigating.
There is no reason why this busi-
ness can not be conducted in the
South, and we are glad to see a
movement under way, that will at
least cause people to think, and
not only vo think but show them
that they ought to patronize and
sustain the insurance comprnies
already established in tne South-
ern States.
It is weil for us to say, that
this conference is not plaoned
and worked up by the Southern
[osurance Companies to boom
themselves, but it is being pro-
mored by men who haye the
good of the South at heart: ln a
conversation a few days since
with the repregentative of this
paper a gentleman said:

out to foreign insurance compa-
nies annually, about two million
