LOCAL NEWS IN BRIEF
Appointed.?We learn that J. Bayli3 Lewis
liss been appointed Clerk of the Board of County
Commissioners.
Cotton Seed.?An advertisement elsewhere in?
forms the planting community ;hat J. M. Lawtox,
*f Chappell's Dopot, is prepared to furnish Dick
son's Cotton seed at fair prices. For particulars,
see the advertisement.
Saledat.?Nothing of special interest trans?
pired on Monday last. The sales were unimpor?
tant. A large crowd in attendance, and as the
day waned, John Barleycorn begin to get the up?
per hand of some of his worshippers. Demon?
strations were mild, however, aud there was no
fighting.
Sxow.?The first snow of the season fell on
Thursday night last, and on Friday morning the
?arth was white with the welcome visitor, but the
bright rays of eld Sol. dispelled the last vestige
?ere meridian was past. The boys indulged in an
eld-Tashioncd scow-bal'ing early after breakfast,
and pedestrians pursued their respective paths in
bodily terror.
Shameful.?When an audience of ladies and
gentlemen are assembled, for a couple of pipes lo
be drawn out, filled, lighted, and the owners puff
?away in the midst of the crowd. "A word to the
wise is sufficient," but the next time we observe
such an occurrence in the town of Anderson, we
?shall be more paiticular in stating when and
where, and perhaps name the parlies.
Sekkxade.?The Anucrson Brass Band gave the
-compliment of a serenade to Hon. J. P. Heed,
Thursday night last, on the eve of his departure
for Washington. Mr. Reed acknowledged the
compliment in a brief and appropriate speech,
but we were not privileged to hear it, being other?
wise engaged at that hour.
The Band likewise discoursed sweet sounds on
?the occasion of Gen. Hill's lecture in the Court
House. There is a decided improvement in the
Band, which is now equal to any in the Stale, so
Tar as our knowledge extends.
Tub Contested Elgctiox.?The evidence on the
"part of the respondent, Mr. Reei>, in the contest?
ed election case from the 3rd Congressional Dis?
trict, so far as relates to Anderson county, will be
taken before W. W. IIuXPHRKTs, Esq., Judge of
Probate, on. to-day and to-morrow, beginning at
9 o'clock a. m. and ending at 0 o'cloek p. m. of
?oach day. A number of witnesses from various
pars of the District will be examined, and the
?reckless charges against, this county completely
?Tefuted, we are perfectly confident. Hon. J. S.
McnitAT will represent the respondent as counsel.
IIox J. P. Reed.?This genllcmaH left for Wash?
ington on last Saturday morning. The Washing?
ton correspondent of the Athens (Gco.) Watchman,
Who we take to be Col. Chiiisty, editor of that
"paper, and member of Congress, refers as follows
to our tewnsmau and his visit last month to the
capital:
I was pleased to-day to form the acquaintance
?of (Jot. I. P. Reed, the Representative of the
neighboring DiMrict in South Carolina?I mean
the Anderson District. Although living compara?
tively .near him. and having known him, in one
Bcuse, for many years past, I never had the pleas?
ure of meeting him until to day. Col. Reed
?liows at a glance, that he is a man of mark. If
-he can get his disabilities removed, and be permit?
ted to take a seat in the next Congress, he will "do
the State some service."

[From Ihe Southern Cultivator.]
Chas, A, Peabody on Commer?
cial Manures.
HIS METHOD OF APPLICATION Alf?
BESITLTS.
Editors Southern Cultivator: As I am oVnsfantf/
receiving letters from a?I partsof the ffot I on-'grow?
ing .States, asking my views of Guano?what kinds
1 prefer?how I use it, and what quantifies??I
will make the Cultivator the medium of my answer
to all. Some twenty-five years ago, I began to ex?
periment with Guano. First, I tried Peruvian.
This gave good satisfaction, but was, I theo
thought, rather expensive. I have since tried all
of the other varieties of note. Some were geed,
others worthless. I had come to the conclusion
that (hi Peruvian, however costly, was the cheap?
est in the end. as a bard-working, industrious man
could manipulate it, with any other substance be
thought proper. I havo feund salt, plaster, flow?
er of bone3, swamp muck, ic, valuable io ma?
nipulate with Peruvian Guano, but the labor of
manipulation is great, and in the process ef ma?
nipulation, much of the ammonia escapes. From
this fact I have been led to inquire, whether there
was net an excess ef ammonia in Peruvian Guano,
and whether it would not be more advantageous to
pay for the Phosphates, than to pay so much extra
for (he volatile amnionin. Whilst full of this
idea, I struck the Soluble Pacific Guano, and was
so well pleased with it, that last year I manured
one-half of my cotton with it, and the other half
with the genuino Peruvian. The same quantity of
each was used per acre. The land was of the
samo quality, the planting and culture was in all
respects the same, and when the crop was gather?
ed, it was impossible to tell which was the besU
Now the .Soluble Pacific Guano cost me $20 lest
per (on, and as a consequence, I havo this year
used the Soluble Pacific Guano alone. It cost ma
at the Agent's Depot in Columbus, $75 per ton.
It may be well here to state the character of my
lui'd. I do not live on exactly what would be
called pine barrens, but it is uext to it, The older
portion ef my laud will not, with ordinary culture,
bring three hundred pounds of seed cotten to the
acre. A field of ten acres, which I wished to ex?
periment on with the Dickson Collen, hybridizing
it with ray Upland Long Staple. I plowed and
sub-soiled in March, leaving the surfaco perfectly
level; the 20th of April, I laid it off in lands about
twenty-five feet wide, and sowed Solubh Pacific
Guano broadcast, at the rate of two hundred
pounds to the acre. This I turned under, with a
(urn shovel, then opened furrows (hreefeet apartf
with a long point scooter, following in the same
furrow I put two huudred pounds more of the Gu
| ano to the acre. Then I threw the furrows togeth?
er into the centre, with a turn shovel, which left
but a, slight ridge, and on this ridge planted the
seed. The Dickson variety bears much thicker
planting than ether kinds. The grewtu and fruit?
ing of (he crop was superb?nothing equal to it
had ever becu seeu in this section of the country,
and if the worms had not swept all the top and
end bolls, it would have made two good bales to
tho acre. As bad as it has turned out, it has made
% bale to (he acre. To a half aero near my dwel?
ling, that 1 had cow-penned last winter, I applied
(wo hundred pounds of the Soluble Pacific Guano
in the drill, and, notwithstanding excessive wet
weather in August, and the worms, which took all
ihe late crop, I havo picked over twe thousand
pounds of Seed col (on from (he half acre. There
are (hose in my neighborhood, who plant land as
good as mine, but without Guano, that will scarce?
ly realize a bale from ten acres this year.
And now a word to the purchaser. If you would
get the Soluble Pacific Guano Genuine, purchase it
only ot the authorized agents of the Company. I
have tried ihe Peruvian and Pacific on my garden
crops, but with no good results. Peruvian Gusbo
seems to be emphatically (he food for the cotton
fruit?other fertilizers may make more weed; but
in the purchase of Peruvian Guano, we are pay?
ing for a volatile ammonia, much of which is
bound to escape, without benefit to crops. Will it
not be to the planter's interest to take that Guano
which is richer in phosphates, and yet an abun?
dance of ammonia for all practical purposes? The
Soluble Pacific Guano I have found from sound
practical tests, to be equal (o (he Peruvian and
much cheaper. I hold that no man can afford to
plant cotlou without Guano.

We used a combination of Soluble Pacific Gu?
ano, 200 lbs. per acre. Its use has doubled the
crop, and 1 believe, had we used double the quan?
tity per acre, the increase of yield would have
been in proper ion.

J. iV. Robson, Esq.:
Dear Sir?BeloW^find replies to your enquiries
as to the kind of manure used by me, and how
much, and to what crop applied, &c. 1 used a
mixture of Soluble Pacific and B Phosphate on a
rather sandy soil, on cotton, applying it at the rate
of about 200 lbs. to (he acre, abont the 1st of
April, putting it in the drill and bedding on it as
we do with barn yard manure. We had the early
part of the season wet, and afterwards a drought
of about five weeks, commencing about 15th July.
Its application has doubled the crop, and I believe
that, had I applied double the quantity, it would
have paid in proportion. Yours, &c,
W. T. FORD.
P. S.?Mr. Ford is a good planter, and has paid
more attention to the results than was in my power
to do. THOMAS H. McCAN'N".
