THE COMMERCIAL AND AGRICULTURAL VALUE OF FERTILIZERS: What is known as the commercial value of fertilizers as published In agricultural bulletins and similar documents, is a valuation made up by adding together the average value of the chemical ingredients which are contained in the fertilizers. The agricultural value of a fertilizer is variable according to the skill of the farmer and according to the crop, and according to the seasons. It crop, and the seasons. It is the practical result obtained in applying the fertilizers. The two values ought to be about the same, and on the average they probably are about the same, but the individual farmer who gives careful personal attention to his-values will be able to make considerable difference in his results by studying the underlying principles. The chemical ingredients which are recognized as imparting commercial vniiip tn fertilizers are nitrosren. ohos phoric acid and potash. There is but one source of phosphoric acid which is at all practical and which is made use of in the manufacture of fertilizers in the South. This is acid phosphate, which is made by treating phosphate rock with sulphuric acid. The most ordinary source of potash is kainit, which is mined in Germany. The phosphoric acid and the potash, which are derived from these sources, are about the same in their results on crops as the phosphoric acid and potash derived from any other sources, but the sources of nitrogen are numerous. This is the most important and expensive ingredient in fertilizers. The commercial value of fertilizers, based on the analysis of the contained nitrogen, is reckoned just the same no matter from what source the nitrogen is obtained, and this fact is apt to mislead the farmer in his estimate of the kinds of fertilizer to use for certain crops. For example: a fertilizer containing nitrate of soda contains a splendid form of nitrogen, and one which is very soluble; therefore, it is arnn/^ fnr do rlv trocrotohloc q n rl *^4 J 5 VVU iV* V-Vfcl * J f UliU quick growing crops, but it is entirely too soluble for use in the cotton crop. The cotton plant is of slow growth and needs to have its food supplied throughout a long interval. A fertilizer containing cotton seed meal, having the same amount of nitrogen as another fertilizer made of nitrate of soda or any other source of nitrogen, is much more valuable to the cotton plant, even at the same commercial value, than any other kind of fertilizer. The nitrogen in cotton seed meal is all soluble, but it requires some time to be put into complete solution. This is exactly what, slow-growing crops like cotton and corn require, therefore, it is important for farmers in the purchase of fertilizer to specify that this fertilizer is made with cotton seed meal, rather than oiher chemicals used as a source of nitrogen (or, what is the same thing, the source of ammonia.) All fertilizers containing nitrogen in any form are generally known as ammoniated fertilizers. Let every farmer see to it that his fertilizers are ammoniatea with cotton seed meal, and, as he knows he can not get the meal to better advantage than from any of the local mills of the Southern Cotton Oil Company of the Carolinas and Georgia, or through their headquarters at Columbia, S. C., Augusta, Ga., Atlanta, Ga., Savannah, Ga., and Goldsboro, N. C., <*r Charlotte, N. C. m.m iu? Both Handicapped. On one occasion Bishop Potter was a guest at the Storm King Club, says the New York Times. After a comfortable dinner he sent a telegram to one of the officials pf the New York Central railroad asking him to stop the night express at Storm King station, on the opposite * side of the river. He drove down the mountain and hired a boatman to row him across. Arriving in good time, he and the boatman waited in the rowboat until the approaching train warned them to seek the station, only to see the train arrive, rush by, and disappear into the darkness. The bishop w&b irritated. 4,WelJ," be said, 4T arn a bishop of the Episcopal cbarcb, and I suppose my calling will not allow men to say anything." "Well," replied the boatman, "I am a Methodist and my principles will iiul ieo me &ay aaytnitig.' Beware of the Znife. No profession ha3 advanced more rapidly of late than surgery, but it should not be used except where absolutely necessary. Ia cases of piles for example, it is seldom needed. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures quickly and permanently. Unequal* ed for cuts, burns, bruises, wounds, skin diseases. Accept no counterfeits. "I was so troubled with bleeding piles that I lost much blood and strength," says J. C. Phillips, Paris, 111. "DeWitts Witch Hazel Salve cured me in a short time." Soothes and heals. J. E. Kaufmann. lie totate i&ir. Col. Thomas W. Holloway of Pomaria, the Secretary of the Fair society, say?: "It is needless to bring to the attention of the people the importance of the annual gatherings at Columbia to greet our friends from all sections of the State and there note the general advance in all that pertains to field crops, stock, poultry, the exhibits in the ladies' departments including art, machinery in operation and impliments for the agriculturalist. Besides these the racing feature is always a pleasant one. "It is impor'ant for all who desire space for machinery, as well as those who wish sjrace for other exhibits, or na^?M?? ? ?i show people, to commuDieate with Mr. D. F. Efird. Lexington, the general supeiintendent, who will take pleasure in furnishing the desired information. "If. will be observed that the fair this year will open the gates to the public on Tuesday, 2S:h October, which has been practically the time of opening for former years. Therefore it is hoped, and it is urged, that m11 exhibits should be in place by Monday, 27rh October, at 12 m. in order that the employees may have everything in proper shape and be tr\v tVio r?nV?1iA o-rltr Tnpqrlnv If auj 1U& HUO j^u Wi?v VUAIJ * wvvwj morning. "It will be better to have everything on the grounds on Friday or Saturday previous. This should be the case especially as to stock. "The people are specially invited to be with us as heretofore and enjoy a reunion of friends and to see what is being done in the advancement in agriculture. "The railroads have named low rates of passage for visitors. The society will pay the freight on exhibits raised or produced in the State and shipped by rail. Those who ronnt. thorn mar armlv to the seere tary, at Pom aria for a copy of the premium list. "At a recent meeting of the Farmers' Institute at Clemson college there was organized a State Dairyman's association, and that association offers a special premium at the State Fair of $5 each for the best butter and cheese made in South Carolina. It is hoped the contest will be a lively one." Women and Jewels. Jewels, candy, flowers, man?that is the order of a woman's preferences. Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average woman. Even that greatest of all jewels, health, is often ruined in the strenuous eiforts to make or save the money to purchase them. If a woman will risk her health to get a coveted gem, then let her fortify hereelf against the insiduous consequences of coughs, colds and bronchial affections by the regular use of Dr. Boschee's German Syrup. It will promptly arrest consumption in its early stages and heal the affected lungs and bronchial tubes and drive the dread disease from the system. It is not a cure-all, but it is a certain cure for coughs, eolds and all bronchial troubles. You can get this reliable remedy at Kaufmann's drug store.

At a recent cornerstone laying in a provincial town, says The Scotsman, the stone was swinging in the grasp of a powerful crane above the hole left for it to fit in. Down in the hole n n T *! rsVt w\nn m r% n n Vva n f tt7 i f Vk au xuoLiuiau nao xuooiug au'jui nitu a bed of mortar. Suddenly a portion of the tackle slipped, and down came the stone with a run. It lit on the Irishman's back, and everybody expected to see him flattened out as thin as paper when the stone was lifted half a minute later. No sooner was the stone clear of the hole, though, than the man sprang out like a jack-in-the-box. He was covered in mortar from head to foot, and was coughing, sneezing and spitting, to get it out of his nose and month. As soon as he could speak he addressed the men managing the crane: "Here, now! Here, now!" yelled he. "Oi can stand a joke as well as any msm, but any of yees can have me job after thot." And he put on his coat and went away, under the impression that the highly respectable assemblage had played a joke upon him. A Boy's Wild Bide For Life. With family around expecting him to die, and a son riding for life, 18 mil^s. to get Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, W. H. Brown, of Leesville, Ind., endured death's agonies from asthma, but this wonderful medicine gave instant relief and soon cured him. He writes: "I now Bleep soundly every night." Like marvelous cures of Consumption, Aneumonia, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds and Grip prove its matchless merit for all Throat and Lung troubles. Guar anteed bottles 50c and $100.

"To-night it enters an humble home to strike the roses from a woman's cheek and toworrow it challenges this republic in the halls of Congress. Today it strikes a crust from the lips of a starving child and tomorrow levies tribute from the government itself. There is no cottage humble enough to escape it, no place strong enough to shut it out. It defies the law when it cannot coerce suffrage It is flexible to c*ple, but merci lees in victory. It is the mortal enemy of peace and order, the despoiler of men and terror of women, the cloud that shadows the face of children, the demon that has dug more graves and sent more souls unshrived to judgment than all the pestilences that have wasted life since God sent the plagues to Egypt, and all the wars I since Joshua stood before Jericho. It comes to ruin, and it shall profit mainly by the ruin of your sons and mine. It comes to mislead human souls and crush human hearts under its rumbling wheels. It comes to bring gray-haired mothers down in shame and sorrow to their graves. It comes to change the wife's love into despair and her pride into shame. It comes to still the laughter cn the lips of little children. It comes to stifle all the music of the home and All it with silence and desolation. It comes to ruin your body aDd mind, to wreck your home, and it knows it must measure its prosperity by the swiftness and certainty with which it wrecks this world. Eis Life Saved by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. "B. L Byer, a well known cooper ? . ? . i I? /""ii ot tDis town, says ne Deneves uuaw~ berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy saved his life last summer. He bad been sick for a month with what the doctors call bilious dysentery, and could get nothing to do him any good until he tried this remedy. It gave him immediate relief," says B. T. Little, merchant, Hancock, Md. For sale by J. E Kaufmann. Satisfied as It Was. Hix?I played in great luck yesterday. Dix?How's that? Hix?Found a pocketbook containing a lot of valuable papers and $1,000 in cash. It belonged to old Groucherly, and returned it to him this morning. Dix?Got a liberal reward, eh? Hix?Not a cent. DiX?Then where did your luck come in? Hix?Why, he didn't charge me aDy interest on the money while it was in my possession. Lingering Summer Colds. Don't let a cold run at this season.
