CORRESPONDENCE! Mulcahy, N. Dec. 19, '81. Dear Times I again note for your columns a few items from our community. Lumber is being sawed at the mill of Messrs.

Austin Caudle which will be used in the erection of the Sabbath school house here. The work is progressing very well indeed. There will be a Christmas party on Wednesday night at the residence of Mr. Vernon Allen for the purpose of procuring money to help in -above named work. A nice supper will be prepared for the occasion there will also be on hand a variety of confection, (Sec, etc.

Admittance to the hall will be 25 cents; additional admittance to table will be 75 cents. Ladies and children connected with sckool will bo admitted free. Young gentlemen, be sure to come, and don't rail to bring your sweethearts, for we are anticipating a "big time." Call on Mr. Tommie Allen, at the store of W. F.

Crump, Polkton, for your tickets. Wo learn that there are some deer in our neighborhood. A lot of our young gentleman are expecting to ''drive" for them shortly. Our townsman and neighbor Mr. W.

C. Allan, who has been in delicate health for some time, is improving very fast. Our genial and enorgetie county-man Dr. Geo. W.

Crowson, who left us several montlis ago ana wno is now located at the little village of Locust Level, in Stanly, was on a flying visit to his old-neighborhood last Doctor, may you live long and cure many. The two little girls who are soliciting contributions in the village of Polkton for our Sunday-school here, collected nearly $8.00 in about two weeks. Non are so young but they may do something for Jesus. The echool wishes to got two -little girls in each town and village in this and adjoining counties to take contributions for the work, and oilers a beautiful present to every little girl for each collection of five dollars. Wishing you a happy Christmas, I am Yours, J.

P. B. Farmers, Look: Here. Emtcr Anson Times: I wish to make a few suggestions through the columns of your valuable paper, which I hope will not be out of place to its many readers, whose business it is to purchase fertilizers for the purpose of realizing heavy crops, espe cially in cotton. By chemical analysis very few commercial fertilizers reach beyond $33 in valuation, which is sold to the farmers at $45, or a bale of middling cotton, pajrablo loth of November; say 350 equal to $45 cash to the farmer.

First lot us admit that a ton of fertilizers will make 2,000 lbs. seed cotton, the amount claimed by the manufacturers and their agents, and then let us see what it is worth at three cents per a fair price for the material in the seed. It is just $00 and secondly, let us endeavor to find its actual cost to the farmer. This 450 -lbs. cotton, at ten cents per is worth exactly $15.

Hauling, to the average farmer, cannot be less than re-healing and distributing cannot be less than $2.00. You will then be necessitated to gather not less than 1500 lbs. seed cotton to make the said bale of cotton, say 450 for the reasons, it will shrink not less than 1-16, or 100 leaving 1500 lbs net; this ginned by the gin-ner at 1-19 leaves a balance of 1407 lbs. to make your bale 450 a good yield for the average crop. Adding cost of hauling, distribution, extra picking, let us next see what it will amount to.

As above tated, $4.50 for hauling, distribution, etc. to picking 1600 lbs. seed cotton at 50 cents, adding these amounts and cost together, make $12.50 cents. We will next proceed to take cotton at ten cents per a full average price for the season to come, our actual expense, which will be and twenty-five lbs. lint cotton.

Adding first and second cost together-it will clearly show we- have to pay a bale of cotton, not less than 575 lbs. cotton, per ton for our fertilizers, not less than $57.50. Again taking tho 2,000 lbs. seed cotton at 3 cents per is $60 also the 575 lbs. lint cotton at 10 cents per lb.

is $57.50, leaving the 3mall sum to our actual profit of only $2.50 for all our risk and chances. I will add the chances are largely against us, especially when the seasons are not favorable fo the crop fertilized. If, by the way, they are against us, so much the worse for us. We are then forced to the necessity of gathering what we would have otherwise gathered and deliver to the different manufacturing companies of these commercial fertilizers. Tt mp task one Who are these fer tilizers manufactured for? Is it the merchant, the mechanic, the physician, the lawyer, or who Farmers, whoever you are, wherever you may bo, let us all unite into one solid body, as solidly as the Democratic or Republican party, and demand that we will buy guano for the coming season, for less cotton, less money, or.

both, or else not buy at alL and our success is certain. Stand by all that is man- ly, thereby showing that you will not be dealt with in the future as in the past. Would be glad to hear from some brother who is more capable of advocating our cause. Southern papers will please copy. A Farmer.

Anson and tha whole Ie Dee section feel a just pride in this their favorite son. A Fire, and Narrow Escape. On Tuesday night last about half past eibt the fire alarm was given, when it was found that Mr. T.

B. Wyatt's kitchen was in alight blae. The family had retired, and there wa3 no one in the kitchen at the time. The fire was disco ved too late to save the kitchen, which was situated about forty feet from his large residence, and the ind-being in that direction, it was expected every moment that it would also be devoured. In fact the fire was so close that tho weather-boarding was scorcthed and blistered, and dripped hugs drops of resin.

A crowd of both white and colored soon assembled, and everything in the large house was moved out. Fortunately through the efforts of many, who worked hard and faithfully, the building was kept wet, and finally saved. The kithen was totally destroyed. The fire is supposed have originated from the stove. There was no insurance on the kitchen, but there was on the residence, which wad considerably damaged both by the fire and the efforts to save the contents.

Much damage was done the furniture in the hurried moving. "We have no estimate of loos at. this writing but it will probably be over Too much credit cannot be given those citize-ns, both white and colored, who worked so faithfully. Vve have constantly urged the necessity of some organization to protect the town from lire, and it is with pleasure that wa announce, as the immediate result of this catastrophe, the formation of a hook and ladder company of our young men last night, of which we will give 'the particulars next week. We have no doubt that the town authorities and our property holders generally, who have no vital an interest the matter, will aid liberally in equipping this volunteer company.

The Colored Fair Opened here at the Dixie Fair Fair grounds on Tuesday last under circumstances that augured success. Early in tho morning our colored friends began to come in, and by noon there was quite a crowd. They had two brass bands on hand to enliven the occasion. Wre paid a hurried visit to the grounds that evening, and confess we were surprised, considering all the circumstances, to see such creditable exhibits as they made. In the lower building they ad some good specimens of cotton, corn, pumpkins, turnips, beets, oats, wheat, and other farm' products.

In Floral Hall, we noted many fancy articles of real tasty workmanship. The display of quilts would have been creditable to any white fair. One of silk attracting a good deal of attention. There were cakes and bread of very fair make, and jellies, preserves, butter, pickles, One display of Anson woods showed 35 varieties. The poultry display was the finest at tho fair.

They had four curiosities among them a chicken with three legs, a rooster with five spurs, and two strange fowls, a half turkey-guinea; and a half turkey-peafowl. Many horses were entered, among them a fine pair of valuable bays, the property of Warren C. Coleman, a colered merchant of Concord, who by the way deserves a great deal of credit for the aid he has given the Fair having brought alono over 125 entries. We take this occasion to say to our people that the best lesson to be drawn from the Fair may be found in the example of W. C.

Coleman. At the closing of the war he was a slave, To-day he is a man of means, and an enterprising merchant. He is a fair illustration of what they may and can do. On yesterday addresses were made by Col. O.
