That far- it is all plain enough, but whiqh one of these. Princes of Mendacity would wear the crown is the. ques tion. The Edgefield Oil Mill is paying 30 cents a bushel for cotton seed. By the way, what a fortune we have in cotton seed. A gentleman in Georgia writes that he has been feeding his horses and mules on parched cotton seed, but now that cotton seed is so high he thinks he will sell his cotton seed in future and raise corn to feed them on. Our bright and spicy contem porary, the Columbia Journal, makes a mistake when it takes Gov. Tillman to tajk because he did not advocate an appiopriation | for Sonth Carolina"at the World's! Fair. If we are not mistaken^ he did advocate such an appropria tion in his annual message to the, Legislature. The sheriff! in different portions of the State are attaching trains v of cars and other property of rail roads for non-payment of taxes just like they attach the corn crib j of some common farmer f?r the same cause. Verily, the day has come when the property of a rich corporation is no more sacred than the property of the humblest in dividual.-Manning Times. In the town of Georgetown, in this . State, a club has been organized j called "Tho Grand Gallon Pot." Tho Georgetown Times says "that only first-class liars are liable to join this club, and that one of his friends remarked the other day that he had never told a lie in his life, whereupon "The Grand Gallon i Pot" promptly elected him presi dent-this unliable gentleman." At it? recent session the Legis lature appropriated $800 for the publication in book form of the names of South Carolina's soldiers who participated in .'the late war. Adjutant General Farley has commenced the work and is now arranging the rolls of'fifteenj companies already secured. ^The^-Orangeburg - Enterprise^.&j Conservative paper, says : ' '"Sheriff Dukes crested a Char leston,"Sumter ahd^rtherffmi^ road train near Vance's last week. We^don't see why the. railroads should be given any more time 'to pay their taxes than* private cjtiv zeus. Our own idea is that they should be treated just like^other taxpayers. No hotter, no worse." And the Sparenburg \ Herald, another Conservative paper, says : "We admit that the Alliance has forced the Democratic party to re cognize its most just demands. The vital issues of Ocalaism are swallowed up by the. D?mocratie party." , . Thus the anti papers are begin ning to see thc light-the day break over the misty mountain tops. Composts for Corn and Cotton. "If cotton seed, stable. manure and phosphates are composted for corn, the following formula, used for many years, has given most satisfactory results. To make one ton^of the ^dry materials use. "500 lbs Achrphosphate. 750 "Stable* manure. 750 "Cottonseed. . 2000 lbs. Thercotton seed should be protec ted from, fermentation mitti used in thecompost.The stable manure should remain in the stalls until needed. j\7hen^tn?A ?taljsj a* cleaned out in Januaryrthe timi for making the .compost, a ??tj?ra] supply of litter should bespretO in the stall to furnell bed for the mules and serve., as an absorben for the first droppings. A smal quantity of litter so used durin| the year, ia found necessary,',* keep the stall dry. An ocasiona dusting with laud plaster , o gypsum will also contribute Jo thi end and prevent loss of ammonia To those not familiar with thi practice it seems at first view unti But on the ? contrary, si nee th *4manure is packed down by* th tread of the mule from dayt ?av-siloed ai it were-no fei el mentation takes place and n JjJQ ; i absorbed by jthe solid excremen n I and no loss of nitrogen, takes plao y j If the manure ist removed daily j ' 'is almost impossible, io thi climate, to prevent injnriou fermentation or "fire fanging. while much of the liquid manur is lost. MANNER OP COMPOSTING. Take such quantity of the cottoi seed and stable manure as can bi conveniently mixed with forks anc shovels ; stir them until thoroughly commingled, wetting them as the} are stirred, using enough to watej them thoroughly without leaching Spread this mixure, to a depth ol about six inches,- and pour over il the phosphate, which should be free from lumps; and stir until the particles of phosphate adhere tc manure and seed and the three ingredients are intimately min gled. This process is repeated un til all of the material is consumed, each mixed lot being shoveled in to, the common heap as the ming ling is completed. Of course the proper relative proportions must be preserved in these several mixings. It is important to wet the material of the compost thoroughly to retard. the fermentation and prevent fire ranging. IS AMMONIA LOST DURING FERMENTA v _TION. It is commonly supposed that when vapor passes off rapidly from the compost heap-when it "smokes"-that sloss of ammonia takes plsce. Litmus paper placed immediately upon tho freshly stirred compost, in the midst of] the rising fumes, did not detect the presenco of an Alkali, indi eating that no free ammonia was present. On the contrary it ? dis covered the presence of acids) sufficient to neutralize ammonia should volatiiizatian take place. The acid phosphate prevents loss| of am m ion i a. WHY IS THI8? ' ' Nearly half of every, .acidj phosphate or super phosphate, as it is sometimes called, is -gypsum,] or sulphate of lime, which; .Teiiults from treating the \ pulverized, phosphite rock wita sulphuric acid. The presence pf this Sulphate of lime furnishes a safeguard against any. loss of ammonia by being volatilized. If stable manure and ^CottonI seed are fermented without "the i phosphate,- or . without ? ??ypaum a'd#ed,a . perceptible loss ? of ammcn'ftt axe's place,1 If the compost is to be applied to cotton, we use the following formula, mixing as before. 700 lbs acid phosphate. 650$ Stable mauW.^ 650 *. C?tton see?v - * ' * ? r\ ? ? : 2000 lbs. Experiments in the use of kainit in the compost heap indi cated that the cotton and stable manure supplied enough potash. This is probably not true of some of the "sandy soils of tertiary. . .... .? . . - . . - . formation. ' - I? the compost is made for miscellaneous use, 600 pounds bf phosphate per tou is used. The compost has proved during twenty years of ?practical experience and experiment the cheapest manure for the corn and cotton planter. In making the first experiments with it in 1869 the materials were put up in layers, but this practice has long since been abandoned as unsatisfactory on account of the phosphate hardening- into lumps. COMPOSING THE FURROW. Some apply the cotton seed- in the row in which cotton is to be planted, and sprinkle the phosp hate over them early in the wa gon, and covering them with earth, allow the seed to ferment there. If the season is favorable in early, spring this practice / gives good results -but. : some serious objections stand against it. (a).In order that the seed may j not vegetate they must be applied before the soil has, been warmed* sufficiently to supply t he fi m dit ion s necessary for germination. If heavy, baking. rains, occur, the so il where ihe plant is to grow be? cornea hard. It cannot be rebroken without;^disturbing the* manure, and thence there is difficulty in securing a:m'a?!?w seei bedv (d) It involves extrtv labor in distributing the e-ed and phosphate as they must be distributed separately. . #_ . . COTTON SEED M BAL IN" COMP08T. Since cottonseed meal is cheaper at twenty dollars per tou.W even at twenty two dollars per ton, or than catton seed at twelve, the meal has been substituted for the seed in the compost heap with perfectly satisfactory results. The following formula was used : 500 lbs. cotton seed meal. *> 500 to acid phosphate. 1000 " stable manure. o lbs. table manure ?B thproughlj , .. i_Hi-? ::L .vf \,-.*\in?nA ??-iTr'**?;?' manure. The fermentation of thii compost^ proceeds much mor? Tapidly than that in which the seed are used, and hence must be closely watched to avoid exces sive heating. If this occurs, open vertical' holes with a crowbar and pour in water, or turn tip heap^ adding water as it is turLed. The plant food in the meal compost ia more promptly available than that in which the seed are used." J. Si NEWMAN. Clemson Agricultural College. TO UNTJOTTLE PORT ROYAL. The Fight Begun lu The State Courts. CHAW, ESTON, Feb. ll.-The great legal battle for bottled Port Royal is now on before Judged Aldrich in the State Court. It has been raging since 9 a. mn and Closed only a short time before midnight. *-* Two cases were heard-one brought by the State to invalidate the lea?e of the Port Boyal Rail road to the central of Georgia, and the other by A. C. King,of Atlanta, and others, to invalidate the Comer appointment as receiver, and ?to appoint J. H. 'Averill permanent receiver. Attorney General Townsend ] epresented the State, assisted by Smythe & Lee, and W. J. Verdier of Beaufort; and H. B. King of | Atlanta represented the plain tjfij. ~n the second suit, Receiver Comer j was represented by Maj. Joseph Ganahl of Augusta and H. A. M. Smith of Charleston and H. Cunningham and S. B. Adams of Savannah. The fight was started by Lawyer Smith, who asked for a post ponement, stating that the 'de fendants were not prepared for an answer. This question was discussed at considerable length by counsel' on b^th sides. *. - A Ju4ge .Aldrich ruled that he could not consistently order ai continuance oh such' a plea. The legal notice had been given, and counsel-on both sides had consen ted .to the date. Attorney General Towsend then read the motion for tnt appoint ment of the receiver. Mr.- Smith read the answer of the railroad. It was of considerable | lenth, and went to show that the road was being conducted -in a | business manner; that, contrary to the statement in the motion, jj it had not been allowed to run c down, and that its roadbed and 1 quipment had been made from, 'ear to'year. Extracts'from the eports of the railroad commissions rom 1881 to date were read, show rrest improvments. *' The Attorney General introduced iffidavits from several merchants iud citizens along the line of road iverring that they-haye been iiscommoded and ,that the road i s - much wor8e-?noe -the appoint ment of, Comer as . receiver, aud jiving "opinions that their in terestFwou?d be advanced ?>y the removal of Comer. The affidavits rv?re from citizens of Augusta, Allendale, Beaufort and Port RoyaljBud one and all give testi mony to the ' disadvantages that that had arisen since the Central had control- Special stress was laid upon the almost extinction of Port Royal as a business place and a port. - " ' Objection was made to the introduotson of these affidavits, but was oveiuled, and the argu ment proceeded. Mr. Smith opened for the defense arguing that the pleadings were fatally defeotive under the Code, and that there were Federal, ques tions involved. He was followed ID turn by Attorney GeueralTown? sed and S'3ntor Smythe for \& State, Mr. Ganahl closing for th? defense. Judge Aldrich then took th/ papers, and at 8 o'clock p. m..the secoud suit-that was brought bj King aud-otb?rs-was taken up. - It is not probable that n decision will be reacrW for several-days.

Bow Mine? Are Salted. The gullibility of persons who buy mines has passed into a proverb. It is said that such properties have actually been salted with half melted eilyer dol lars and sold to investors, who did not realize that the precious metal was not found in nature with the stamp of the inint upon it. Undoubtedly "the most scientific method of accomplishing this sort of swindle is to apply the silver in the shape of a nitrate solution. When it is ready for use some salt is put into It and it issqnirted over the rock, the salt causing an immediate precipitation of the metal in a manner that ^equally conspicuous and deceptive to the eye.

Pretty Generally Agree That One Shonld Buy the Painting? Which Please Him-Judgment Is Ca pable of Cultivation and AV ill Improve, "How do people buy pictures?" Colin Campbell Cooper repeated. "Well, I suppose the majority of collectors con sult the advice of a dealer OT. some ar tist, and yet there are those, not pre tentious connoisseurs, either, that know a good thing when they, see it, and. ?vince unusual wisdom in their pur chases. To some, however, self reliance in investing on a large scale in paint ings has proved rather a disastrous ex periment. The other day a collection made by a man thirty or forty .years ago was sold. There was hardly half a dozen good things in it, simply because he bought and.be did not. know what he was getting. ??Art in this country is gradually wak ingup., Perhaps the Centennial might be called the American Renaissance. We know infinitely more about art than our grandparents did, and with oppor tunities increasing from year to year it is fair to suppose our children will show a still more marked improvement 1n taste. Greater facilities for traveling have done much tobring about a change in our little world, and the tendency of our art is rather toward the cosmopoli tan than provincial.' Naturally, time is 'required to educate the public taste along artistic lines. . "I think people will baymore pictures when they understand painting is not an accomplishment merely a. pleasure, to. the eye, but' that it is a part of educa tion, of civilization. It- will require time-to realize this. Exhi rations ajte yisited and the majority like to look at pictures with an admiration rather ephemeral. When the picture is out of ?ght the impression is gone. With a general .diffusion of art paintings will be bought not solely because they ap peal to the senses," to personality, but for "their artistic qualities'; not simply because the ?subject illustrated is rather a pretty idea, but because the work is technically a good art-production." " Stephen Ferris wdd: "The world is full of good pictures to be bonght for rea sonable prices, but unfortunately many thousands of dollars, many fortunes, are spent for nonsense,' while good: work re mains; unsought and .un bong ht. Com mon sense is happy capital in picture buying as in any other business. One can hardly provide a set number bf rule* to be observed in buying. Many book*, have been written on military science, yet the world has seen comparatively few fine generals. Judgment rules the world, and in picture buying one person is more successful than another because a spirit of superior intelligence dictates his purchases.." Thomas Eakins would like to have people buy pictures that please them and appeal to their taste. "The major ity are afraid to bhy what they like; they must have some one else's advice. Well, if they start with bad art, per haps before long they will como to the good. Let people buy what they want." "I have not thought much about buy ing pictures," said Mr.Frederick Waugh. "We artiste are more chiefly concerned m trying to sell them. It is the privi lege of the artist to paint pictures which appeal to people; which they understand and want to have for their own. But he should have a high standard, and he cannot succeed if he lower it to cater tc .ikeji<:riartaste. -He is fortunate if in 'iVVooK^-^B^m-tai mtv-ma m ig tuff-fry; ~| tTis work may be appreciated by large 1 numbers, but it 4is always certain that some few will recognize his endeavor ?nd will want to buy it. ! "In the Old World art is accessible to alL The Luxembourg and the Louvre are filled permanently with the master pieces' of all ages, the best that have been done. There, too, the spirit of union is strong among artists. They gather together and talk of everything pertaining to the art world, consequent ly they live entirely in a congenial cli mate" and they grow and develop in an essentially art atmosphere. Impression ism? Yes, this is the great word nowa days. Many have an idea that it is a synonym for vaguely treated and par tially unfinished pictures. Impression ism claims to record facts as observed by the artist. Sincerity to nature is its aim. After all, there fe nothing sd beautiful as truth, and the nearer we get to it, as we find it in nature, the better artists we are." "Many Americans buy pictures," Mr. F. de B. Richards responded, "because they have accumulated money, and pictures are the proper thing to have. Generally they know very little about it, and a dealer does the work for them. If people purchase picture* to flutter their vanity, let them spend big stuns and buy high priced pictures. If they buy for pleasure, let them buy what in terests them. I remember meeting Ed win Forrest after a sale. Tve bought a picture,' said he. 'They told me not to do it, Jbecause very likely it is not origi nal But it pleases me, ?md I should buy it if it were by somebody I never heard tell of.? A picture pleasing to the eye is a source of education for the time being at least Adverse criticism may lead a man td scrutinize it and study it more closely than if he had bought one he did not like half so well" "I think I should be inclined to buy what I liked personally," was the opin ion of Edwin Swift Balch, "not forget ting that the pictorial qualities should not be lost sight of in the desire to get a pleasing subject Good handling, the proper placing of values and meritorious color, allied to a sympathetic subject, will tend to keep our interest in a paint ing alive."-Philadelphia Times.
