This paper agrees with Mr. John Bright, one of England's most famous statesman, that the real glory of a nation is not its achicvements on the battle fields but the prosperity that is achieved along the lines of peace, transquility and contentient. Mr. Bright says: .I believe there is no permanent greatness to a npibn except it be based up9n -'inorality. ''I do not care fpI' military renown. I care for tho condition of the people among whom I live. There is no man in England who is less likely to speak irreverantly of the crowvn and monarchy cf England than I am; but crowns, coronets, military display, the p)omlP and pride of war, wide colonies, anud a huge empire, are in my view, trifles light as air, and not worth considering uin less wvith thenm you can have a share of comnfort, contentment and( happiness among the great bodly of the people. Palaces, baron ial castles, great halls and stately mansions do not make a nation. The nation in every 'oilnntry dwells in the cottage; and1 unless the light of your constitution can shine there, unless the beauty of your legis lation and the excellence ot your statesmanship are impressed here on the feelings and condi tion of the peoplle, rely upon01 it hou have yet to learn the dluties of government.'' Justice and Eauality. Above all else' the greatest (quality of mercy or justice should be0 equality. So often it is that we see the people of the' world turn up)on the poor unfor tunate wretch who has gone wrong and push him furthur down in the abyss of degreda tion simply because he lacks money or influential friends. And still more often we see these same people recognize and coun tenance a man who has done the same thing but who has been fortunate enough to accumulate wealth or to gain friends. True manhood Is inade of sterner stuff and its objects of criticism should be treated alike. The condonation of any dishonest act will not often tend -to reform the actor but when one who has seen'-his own soul blackened by his, own hand sean tnhesame nine 1her rpen ,h r*#saved riom the terrible' n Of publi' opinion by th pr of wealtli or the Posesion of riends, it is enough to add bit erness 'to remorse "and turn the nitiate in crime to a 'ardened riminal.

The flame of love burns hikh' but is only too often self-donsum. ing. The fire of domestic 'af fection turns to glowihk embers then, alas! to cinders and ashes. If the man abd the woman are sufficient to each other,' "it Is well, if each is self sufficihnt'it will often answer. He goes his way, she hers, and the amenities f a respectable union ar6 pre 3erved without the blessings. But the baby-how he trans Forms the situation!

It takes just as 'much tidme and labor and troubi to haul low grade fertilizer home and t1iewput it in the groun as it does our 8 4-4. The condition 'of the crop is. the saM and everything is the same, .except the results. The 8.4.k will make very much better crops... -You can easily tell tht difirence in crops fertilized with 8-4.4 kods and cro' tetiliz ed with low grade goods by riding 'by the cotton field.. Good [farmers say that there must be a differende of 3 *,pounds of seed cotton to the acre in the yield of the crop before the dif ference can be noticed The difference :in crops fertilized with . 8-4-4 goods, and that, fertiljzed; with 'low grade goods is so apparant that there must be a difference- 04o to 500 pounds of seed cotton to the acre, in fact there is frequently more than this. But call the increase 300 pounds of seed cot. ton to the acre, this means at least- .oo pounds :of lint. cotton to the acre. The increase"of'ro pounds of lint cotton was worth last fall from $ 3-o0' $r5oo,-;and:the, increased.. cost of the 8-4-4 is less than $3.o i& the acre, Which is as little -.0 should be used. There is your profit. At an increased. cost o0 less than $3.00 per acre, you would have. rincreased your profit last year from $1 3.00 to $15.o0 per acre. A number of farmers in Anderson county last year who used Apdersd 1 8-4-4 goods made around $4o.oo cleanClear profit on an acre of cotton. . They would not have done this if they had used 200 or 300 pounds of low grade fertilizer to the acre. We have' no way of knowing what cotton will bring' another year, 'but whether it is high or cheap, the -more you' make to -the acre, d the more profit you.will make to the acre. Anderson eounty made .-nore cotton last year than any 'county east of the Miss. issippi river. Anderson county would not have done this, us. d ing 200 or 300 pounds of low grade -fertilizer to the acre. Get the best guano. Get the right kind of .8-44. Get an 8-44 that is compounded of nitrate of soda, blood,.tankage, cottonk seed meal, and. fish scrap. This 8-4-4 is backed-up by results and performance,, Hoof Meal and horn meal run higher in ammonia than blood,'and will show a high . analysis. But the goods made from them will not.make the crops that our d goods make. Our 8-4-4 is made of plant food, and the more r- plant food you put in the' grouncl the faster ynu will' build it up. There are some fertilizers made that will not build up your land. We like to sell a goods that will make a' satisfied customer. Our 8 4-4 makes an' enthusi.stic customer. Whenever a man uses our 8-4-4 he begins to talk up Ander. r son fertilizer. If you want goods of lower analysis we have . the best goods put in sacks, but remember that the best is the cheapest. The nitrate of. soda in this '8-4-4 helps you -"to get a good stand and then makes the cotton grow offnicely from the start. A man takes more pride in his crop aid his hands will work it better if it grows off from the sta't and looks healthy than if it looks stunted. And then our, helps h the cotton fruit from the ground up-and fruit is w t you are after.
