Righter, or bia collector, Ur. Edwin S. Rowand. MB. BENJAMIN PEBKINS, an old and respected citizen of Camden, died on Monday last. STATE TAXES.-We would direct the particu? lar attention of tax-payers in arrears to the im? portant notice of Sheriff Hastie, published in another column. A COMPLIMENTARY DINNER lias been tendered Colonel J. R. Davis, proprietor ol' the PurcoU House, the now hotel in Wilmington, N. C., as a testimonial of the appreciation on thc part of the citizens of his liberality and enterprise in establishing a first-clasa hotel iu that city. ARREST.-Jno. Oliver a colored vcgitarian allowed his taste to overcome his prudence, and ?>-as seen rolling a barrel of potatoos from a yard in Market-street. He insisted that they belonged to his mother-in-law, but tho pobce could not see it in those lamps, and he will answer the charge this morning. UNHAILABLE LETTERS.-The following letters are held in the Postoffice on account of not being stamped or for other causes : Anderson & Co., J. J., Richmond, Va., no ?tamp; Byrns, Miry, Ridgoville, S. C., illegal stamp; Berry, W. B., no direction; Dickenson, Captain John R., New York, no stamp; Haig, Geo. W., Gadsden, S.

NEW BOOKS.-From Russell's, King-street, .we have "Martin Chuzzlewit" and "Barnaby Budge," two fresh volumes of that wonderfully cheap, yet beautifully printed, edition of Dick? ens, which the Appletons aro now issuing. The same house has begun the publication ol the Waverly Novels, at twenty-five cents a volume-an edition uniform with that of their cheap Dickens. A sight of these volumes is worth a call at Russell's. RELIGIOUS EXERCISES.-The Young Men's Christian Association have been fortunate enough to ?6cure for to-morrow, tho services of the Rev. Wm. S. Plummer, D. D. of Columbia. Dr. Plummer is not only a distinguished and talented d.vine, but an author of considerable .reputation, having published several religious works. He will preach in Dr. Smyth's Church to-morrow morning, and before the Young Men's Christian Association in thc evening. PERSONAL.-Among our friends of the State press, at present visiting Charleston, and irom whom we have had the pleasure of a call, are Rev. Vi. E. Walters, of the Anderson lntolli gencer and Baptist, and T. B. Brown, Esq., of the Darlington Sontbernor. Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, of Maryland, is staying at thc Mills House. Mr. Wm. A. Wright, superintendent ol' Nick erson's Hotel, in Columbia, is also ia the city, wide awake as usual. BANKRUPTCY IN THE UP-COUNTRY.-Tho Y'orkville En. ".: -er says: 'There have been referred to W. L Clawson, Registrar in Bank ruptcy, at this place, up to this date, one hun dred petitions for voluntary bankruptcy. A largo uumber of these are from York District, and others from Union, Spartanburp, Laucas ter, Chester, Newberry, Kershaw, Chesterfield, Fairfield, Richland, Greenville, Abbeville, An dersou and Pickens Districts. Only two refer? ences for involuntary bankruptcy have been mUe." v. F?iflNa UP.-We learn that the newly enfran? chised citizens, yclept freedmen, are walking bravely up (o the "Cap'ns office" and paying their capitation tax for tho year. It i ; a good sign. We wish everybody's ambition would run inlliat channel. There's money in it. Last year the great unwashed wero in the vo? cative. Now, from some patriotic motive doubtless, they aro desirous of assuming all the responsibilities of citizenship, and thc Treasurer's books show a goodly array of figures opposite the names of colored men. Surely "it is an ill wind that blows nubody good," and, as far as the treasury is concerned, it can hold all the fish which co nes to its net. If the colored people would pay their capitation tax promptly, the advantage would redound as much to themselves as to the community at large._ THE MEDICAL STUDENTS_Another Mcsaion of this time-honored institution closes to-day, and, inore maforum-thia close is called the commencement-a paradoxical collocation of terms. The close of tho session is coincident with tbe commencement of tho professional career of tho neophytes who arc this day to bo dubbed with that distinguished bi-literal suffix, viz: M. D. There aro about thirty can? didates tbip year for medical honors-a goodly uumber, considering the hard times and great scarcity of money. The exercises ut the College, as usual on such occasions, will be public; and if any of our readers feel any curiosity to witness tho metamorphosis of tho medical student into a doctor, and sec bis cheek niantlo with the Mush of ingenuous sliamo at the thought of his unworthiness to support tho weight of such honors; if they have any desire to seo tho medical student at tho close of tho session de? lighted to be emancipated frnni sitting six to eight hours a day on hard and ver*rectangular benches, Iiateniup, lo -, well, very learned, to be sure, but not always very interesting lec? tures; if they wish to soo what is left of tho un? fortunate student, after having heard sixty-four lectures on surgery, tigbty or. Materia Medica and Therapeutics, eighty' on Anaton.-y and Physiology, a like number on Chemistry, four? score also on tho Institutes ot Medicine, three ?core and ten on Obstetrics, and half a hun? dred on Histology, kc, &c, if they are curious to know how such a vast conglomera? tion of scientific pabulum is assimilated, and of.That sort thc terlium qu?l, resulting from this semestral elaboration, let them go down to thc Medical College thia morning, and take a look at the students and tho newly fledged M. D. s. P. S. After the above waa in typo, we learned that tho exercises are to commence at eleven o'clock, that thc Hon. Alfred Huger, ri,irani ii crneiabde nomcn, will deliver an address to the graduating class; that thc Hon. Edvard frost will deliver the diplomas; that thc profession aud all who take special interest in such mut? ters, are invited, but not the public gene? rally-one reason of this apparent want of hos? pitality bein;; want of sufficient space for tho accommodation of the said general public. DEATH OF HON. EDWARD J. AUTHUR.- WC learn that the above named dibtinpuiehe J citi? zen of the State died at bia residence iu Co? lumbia on WednoBday last, and waa buried yesterday. Mr. Arthur, during his lifetime, filled many offices of honor and trust in tho State, was distinguished at the bar a? one of its ablest members, and was beloved by all who appreciated his purity of character and gen? ial Christian nature. I n all of his relations he has been an eminently useful man, and the society in which he lived may well mourn his sudden loss. LEAP YEAR-THE EXTRA DAY.-February bas always been an ill-used month. Kuma doomed it to have twenty-nine days, except in leap year, when it had thirty. Augustus chose to add a 31st day to August that the month named after him should not be wanting in dignity. To effect this he took tho day from Febrarary, which could least spare it, redu? cing it to twenty-eight days, excopt ou leap year, when cno is added, lliis arrangement was generally adopted and endures to this day. Tho ladies have, for the past eighteen centuries, enjoyed special privileges during leap year. In an ancient ?Saxon law, lt is en? acted: "Albeit, as often as leape yoaro doth occure, the woman holdeth prerogative over tire menne in matter of courtaliipe, love and ma triinonee; so that when tho lady proposeth, it shall not be lawful lor menne to say her nae, but shall receive her proposal in all good courti sie." CITY FINANCES-GREENBACKS VS. Cm SCRIP -?..ooo NEWS FOR EVERYBODY.-It has been ascertained, from undoubted authority, that Mayor Burns has succeeded in negotiating a loan for the city to a large amount. The money has been deposited in the First National Bann, and will bo used to pay off the floating debt of thc city. Tho rumor of this transaction was sufiieienl to materially appreciate the value of city scrip, and it readily sold yesterday for niuety-eight cents on tho dollar. Orders have been received by the City Treasurer to pay out nothing but greenbacks, and the applicant e for t his favored currency are constantly increasing. Monday being the fir.,;, of the month is the great pay-day, and the information that green? backs are forthcoming, will cause manya heart to leap with joy. Policemen, street laborers iud city employees who have been struggling to make both ends meet with a depreciated scrip, can now realize the full amount of their dues. With? the coffers of tho city replenished, Skinner's autograph will again become a fa? miliar Bight. Tho ordinance authorizing the issue of city money limited the amount to $50,000. Of this only $48,000 was signed and issued. Since that time it has been gradually redeemed, until at present only about $25,000 is in circulation. A large portion ot this is held by tax-payers, and it ia confidently expected that in a short time city scrip will be a thing of the past. The sudden appreciation both of city stock and scrip shows that the community have not lost confidence in their securities. The former have risen from 28a31j, while the latter is al? most at par. It is expected that the tax-payers will now promptly meet their obligations and enablo tho City Treasurer to continue in well doing. It has been arranged to pay tho present ira mediato debt of tho city, and it will not bo long before tho interest and the past indebt? edness will also bo paid. In tins connection it is proper to add that tho coupons on the Fire Loan Bonds, which were heretofore payable in New York, will now bc paid at thc First National Bank of this city. THE TRADE OF BALTIMORE WITH CHARLES? TON.-Tho l.'altimoro Gazette, in replying to a correspondent who contrasts the freight rates, coastwise, of Baltimoro with those of Phila? delphia, says: "It is because the steam facili? ties of Philadelphia to thc South are inferior to those of Baltimore, that tho freights there are sometimes lower than they arc hore. Phila? delphia is striving hard to recover a Southern trado which she will never have again, if Bal? timore is truo to her own interests. The ship? ping ratea South are regulated here chiefly by tho New lork rates, with which city Baltimoro has to compete. Tho rates to Charleston, which wc take aa tho chief Southern city, aro the same as from New York. Tho rates from Baltimore lo tho interior towns between Charleston and Now Orleans aro in many cases atxtcon to twenty per cont, less than those from New York. Tho Baltimoro and Charleston Steamship Company connocts with no ?ess than sixteen different railroads, and takes Creight cia Charleston for almost any part of | the interior, South and Weat of that city. At Baltimore it connects with lines leading to Cincuiuati, Louisville, St. Louis and Philadel? phia, to whioh latter city cotton is brought by Lilia linc. Tho laat quotations in Charleston rivo us aa tho rates by steam to New York: 1 jeni per pound on cotton, $2.50 per tierco. on rice; to Philadelphia, I cont per pound on not? ion, and to Baltimore $ cent per pound on oot :on and $1.75 por ticrco on rice. The rutes rom Ibo South to Baltimoro are lower tba.i to Philadelphia or New York, and tho rates out ire generally lower than from New York. Bal? limore is already getting the control of Ibo Southern bacon trade, having shipped within ho past few days 800 hhds. by tho Charleston inc, and its cotton trado is steadily growing. Thc Falcon brought 741 balea a few days ago, he largos! lot yet brought. Part of it went to Philadelphia. Why it. came by the Baltimoro ino ia readily evident to any ono who will lake bbc trouble to inquire and to draw deductions which aro not influence 1 by a partisan feol HOTBL ARUIVALS_Mills House.-F.

MAYOB'S COURT.-The popularity of thc now administration still continues, and the Hall of Justico is daily attended by a motley crowd, who listen eagerly to tho trials. If tho way of the city transgressor was hard, bis condition has nut been improved sinco Mayor Bums has been tho presiding Judge. Four females, nymphes du pace (two whito and two not), wero charged with keeping a disorderly house. Tho evidence was clear, and tho bad character of thc quartette being proverbial, they were sent to prison for thirty days, at the end of which time moro suitable apartments would be furnished in tho work? house. Napoleon Bonaparte, a darkey of about ten summers, in his eagerness to become acquaint? ed with the potentates of the land, was so fa? miliar with King Cotton that he was arrested and sentenced to ten days' retirement. Cits ar Ramsay, a genuine descendant of Ham, was caught stealing wood from a wharf. Caesar wan not posted in his catechism, and he was sent up for twenty days to study the eighth commandment. Robert Dickenson, colored, stole some lead pipe, but was arrested before he could reach junk-shop, an-1 ' -ed to be jugged for thirty days. An unhappy individual, who had looked in bottle until ho became blind drunk, was picked up on tho sidewalk. It was not considered necessary to apologize for interrupting his slumbers, but he was fined $5 for trespassing on city property. Two publicans who dispensed thc fluid with out a legal permission were fined $50 each. Jane Miller, an interesting specimen of color? ed innocence, was arrostnd for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. Jane could not rc member having over taken a drink, and provari cated with such forvor that alic was tined $5 aa a compliment to her mendacity. In noticing thc platform cases on Thursday, it was stated that a policeman was fined $5 for not inspecting the premises thoroughly It was not tho knight of tho alar mid baton but a member of the detective force who was mulcted. TOURISTS.- Those of our readers who scan tho " hotel arrivals " published daily in TOE N*EW8, and those of our citizena who keep their Byes about thom, must have romarked tho unusual number of strangera at present in Charleston. Go wheru you will-from Magno lia Ccmclory to Fort Sumter, yea even into the convention itself, and there you will find tho inovitablo tourist. From all aectiona of tho North and Weat, representing every variety of political opinion and aociol prejudice, educa Led and ignorant, shoddy, and real, refined and boorish, they are travelling through the South and probably for tho first time becoming ac quai'itod with the great terra incognita of the United States. There isn't ao much terror ibout it as aonio of them probably imagined We are glad to sec all such, lt would do them good to blay awhile and write on retina and brain tho things they see and hoar. They might go home converted. We are glad to ace thom, because they bring money and Bharc it with the community. They are useful, like wise, in gathering up biis of old iron, culling tho grass that grows in our afreets, and sundry other things which paaa for relics abroad, and which are very much like trash hero. They will probably, also, carry away with them the impression that wo do not all feed on cayenne pepper, diet on Yankees, or pick our teeth tvith bowie-knives; that the country might bc rich if they would only let ua alone, and that, taken all in all, wo aro the cleverest "rebels" in Christendom. THE PALMETTO PIONEER CO-OPERATIVE ASSO? CIATION.-We have frequently alluded to tho necessity of forming co-operative associations, ind have been pleased to sec that tho sugges? tions of THE NEWS have been kindly recoived iud acted upon. The Palmetto Pioneer Asso ?iation was formed some months since, princi? pally among tho members of thc Palmetto Fire Company. They went to work with a will, aud, though starting under diaeouraging circum? stances, have succeeded in making thca-aoeia tion an active agent in the contemplated scheme. . Ibo first few months were necessari? ly spent in organizing their forces and prepar? ing for tho work beforo them. These piepara tions have been happily accompliahcd, and tho i88ociation meet to-night for tho purpose of ilecting a storekeeper and making arrange? ments for opening their store at an carly day. At a recent meeting Mr. Stephen Thomas .vas elected President, and lo his activo mau? tgement is due tho present prosperous condi ?ioii cf tho society. It now embraces about mo hundred members, who pay weekly the Bum if $1 each. The aliares are held at S2G0., each, md aro limited by thc charter to five hundred. iVhcn the store is opened dividends will be de nared quarterly, but no payments will be mado, he interest being funded until the principal ia mid. When this event is accomplished thc lividends accruing will bo placed to the credit if each member. From thc character of tho men comprising his association, lhere can be little doubt of its ucccss. Thc system baa been tried in Europe ,nd in the North, and has proved to bc prufit .blc and advantageous. Since the project was tarted in this city, it baa met with general ?ivor, and a large number of young men, who .re dependent on their own resources, have lonneeted themselves with the association. ?or such it ls far better than a savings bank, l?causc they are continually realizing on their .ivealments. Our limited space prevents any ?n largement on the numerous advantages lo >e derived fi om these associations, but tho President, Mr. Stephen Thomas, Jr.. rn- Hie iocietary, Mr. Maher, will impart the desired nformation to those who mav np. iv.

The Charleston College Chapel last night. wa? c -owdcd to its utmost capacity with the intellect, the fashion and tho beauty of our good old city,-all come to do honor to the dis? tinguished orator of the evening, and to gather wisdom from his lips. How great the contrast between that audience of last uight, the occa? sion that called them together, and tho range of subjects under consideration, and tho stormy faction now abusing a nation's trust at tho capital, and their base and selfish aims. Truly the humanities have still a strong hold upon our people, and we deem it no small priviloge to be permitted to record the fact. On the stigo we observed the venerable Daniel Ravouol, Esq., thc President of the Board of Trustees; Rev. Bishop W. M. Wight? man, ono of tho illustrious graduates of the College ot' Charleston; Rev. C. C. Pinckney, President Middleton and Professors Miles aud Porcher. After prayer by Rev. C. C. Pinckney, Mr. Martin, tho President of the Christomatbic Society, introduced Rev. J. W. Miles, tho anni? versary orator. Mr. Miles announced as his subject, "The Scholar." After some preliminary remarks on tho vast domain of science, and the impossi? bility of any one man compassing tho whole, he spoke of the unity of knowledgo and of the harmony that pervades the entire cycle of the sciences. He referred to Hie attractiveness of study-to its influence upon the mind in arous? ing attention, necessitating comparison, analy? sis, and synthesis; in acquiring the power of abstraction and generalization; in the develop? ment of the judgment to tho formation of criticism, in its lower as in its higher forms whether it be criticism of words, grammar aud lexicography, or criticism of ideaa and action in history and philosophy. In this pursuit tho scholar will learn not only tacts, but princi? ples-not knowledge merely, but wisdom. He next adverted to the resources of tho scholar, first among which, ho enumerated languages and literature, dwolling with all a scholar's grace, enthusiasm and partiality upon tho attractions ol' comparative philology. Measured by this science, the obacureshjtribes, and the moat cultivated nations, became equal objects of human interest ; tho uncouth mono? syllabic of the barbarian, not anfroquently proring a surer guido to tho ethnologist than thc classic syntax of tho most polished civiliza? tion. Max Muller himself could not have argued on his favorite ground with more enthusiasm, learning or eloquence than ?lid Professor Miles cn the advantages of comparative phil? ology. Nor was it Sanscrit alono he eulogized. Ho set forth, briefly but forcibly, tho advanta? ges ot the so-called dead tongues-the lan? guages of Demosthenes, Plato and Cicero. Mr. Miles has bcon known as good philologist, classical, modern and oriental, and as a strong advocate of the study of languages as a moans of culture. Wo recollect reading, many years ago, an eloquent and voiy loamed address by him on this samo subject. We regret that time and space forbid our riving more of this splendid address, preg? nant as it was with thought, chaste in diction, md delivered with easy graco. As it is, wo :car we have dono injustice to tho orator with ;hoso of our reader? who may never have had ;hc pleasure of hearing him. Ho spoke in ouching terms of thc consolation and the re vards of the scholar. But we must cease. After tho conclusion of Mr. Miles'address, Hr. Martin delivered an address in Latin. His inundation was clear, his port easy and dig? nified, and gestures graceful. He was listened o with marked attention, and loudly applaud id. The pronunciation of tho Latin, we ob erved, was conlinenlnl, and not the barbarous ,nglo-Amcrican. Tho exercises wero concluded with tho vale lictory address by Mr. P. P. Frost, w ho had elected for Ins subject, "Decision of Charac er,"and acquitted himself with much credit. Mr. Dauor'a binni filled up tho intervals of ?me between the speakers with a concord ol weet sounds, which contributed materially lo ho enjoyment of tho evening. CITY IMPROVEMENTS-A Nsw HOTEL FOE JRIMINALS.- In sentencing the offenders who ome before his court, Mayor Burns has inti nated that a workhouse would soon bo prepared or their reception, where they would no longer ?at tho bread of idleness. Tho workhouso of Ilia city has not boon tonablo since tho war, .nd. at the request of the Coard of Health, ilr. Barbo!, thc City Engineer, has examined he premises, and is now preparing a roport hereon, showing what may bo necessary tn ransform th.' building into a hospital. Mr. tarbot ha i prepared a plan ol' tho milding with the proposed changes, which viii ho presented lo Council at an early day. X ia not nfc to predict what action will be alien on tho subject, as this and similar mat? ten; wore postponed to allow Mayor Burna to jecoino acquainted with tho facta, rho edifice ? ill have to bc materially changed even if used is a house ol correction, because being con? ducted years ago, it was intended only as a itroughold for refractory negroes. PFrom thc ength of tho bcntcnces iniposod in the Hayor's Court, it ia evident that General Bums utends lo make the offenders work for their ward. Otherwise, their dotcntion would prove in expense to tho oily. There are a class of of? ender? in every city, who require aome whole lo nc punishment before they can be induced to nend their evil ways, and Charleston certainly las her share. Thc jail and celia in theguard lousea aro not suited for thia purpose, and micas a chain gang, or house of correction is atablished, theso refractory characters will be a much a burden to tho city when confined, as rhea they aro committing their depredations.

FIRE.-About ll o'clock last night tho alarm bell struck Ward No. 5; the engines rallied and tho fire was soon traced to a wooden house on the south sido of Woolfe-street, a few doors east ol Meeting. J ho house waB the property of Air. J. F. Murphy, and was unoccupied. The fire originated in the second story, and, though burning fiorcoly when discovered, was soon ex? tinguished. The fire was evidently the work of an incendiary. We learn that it was fully insured. SERMON BY RT. REV. DB. P?RSICO.--Our Catholic friends will be glad to learn that the above-named learned and distinguished divine will proach in tho Cathedral Chapel to-morrow evening at half-past seven o'clock. Bishop P?rsico is an elcoquent and pleasing speaker, whatever may be his theme, and never more -o than when engaged in elucidating the beau? tiful truths of Christianity.

POLITICAL MEETINO.-A moating was held at tho Military Hall last night to make arrange? ments for nominating membors of the legisla? ture. It was attended principally by the col? ored people, only a small sprinkling of whites being present. The Charleston delegates to t'.ic convention were conspicuous, and did the principal part of tho speaking. Sam Dicken? son, the colored doorkeeper to the convention, was elected Chairman, and two colorod secretaries were appointed. After speeches from F. A. Bawyor, C. C. Bowen, E. W. M. Mackey, II. C. DcLarge, F. L. Car Joza and others, it was determined to elect eight delegates from each Ward, who aro to meet on Wednesday night and nominate uino mombers for tho legislature. The Re? publican nominating convention will assemble in this city ot) tho 10th proximo. It was, therefore, deemed advisablo to have the pre? liminary meotings hold before that time. The speeches were of no marked importance and tho proceedings of no general interest. The elections will in all probability bo manipulated by the Charleston delegates, who will tako good care to sccuro tho offices for themselves. BUSINESS NOTICES. H. H.

February 29 _1_ M APES' NITROQENIZED SUPER-PHOS? PHATE OF LIME. rpHE PBa CTICAL EXPERIENCE GIVEN BELOW _L of plair era during the past season, faUy establish all the adva ;tages claimed for this well-known FER iELIZEB: Received the highest premium awarded to Fertil? izers by thi American Institute of New York, held October, 18'?7. For full report, with analysis made by Uie Com? mittee of ti e Institute, composed of Dr. 0. E. BUCK, Professor f. G.POHLE, and other prominent Chem? ists, see rAinphlets. The dist anguished feature of this SUPER-PHOS? PHATE tro ar other similar Fertilizers is, that all of its ingrediiuts are of animal origin, and are either soluble in w Uer, or in a condition to quickly become soluble in tl.e soil and be taken up by the crop. Contains no inert or mineral materials. The pro- >cr relative proportion of the ingredients in MAPEs' St PER-PHOSPHATE to meet tho re? quirement! i of the Colton crop on Georgia and South Carolina s oils, is fully proved by the experience of planters who te stifled that wherever applied, even to land noted for rusting cotton, the disease ls entirely corrected, ind a healthy, vigorous growth produced. On the tan e land Peruvian Guano and other fertil? izers have .ailed to secure a healthy growth. BEPOBTH FBO?I PLANTEES, 1867. For Liters in full see Descriptive Pamphlet. Dr. E. IC ROYALL, Christ Church Parish, writes: Applied st the rate of ISO to 200 pounds per acre on 11th April on 22 acres blue clay land, a good dea worn from bring planted in cotton from 1857 to 18071 with only mi. year's rest during that time, and not? withstanding the long continued cold and heavy rain, and gales luring the spring and summer, about the first cf September the crop on this field was estima? ted by soi ie of our best judges to promise a yield of IBO to 200 pounds fine Sea Island Cotton Lint to the acre. No .withstanding the ravages of the caterpillar, the first cotton picked was from the field on which M APES' PHOSPHATE was used, and lt has made about 65 pounds to the acre, while no other man. ured land made over 45pounds. Has usaJ MAPEV PHOSPH vTE on melons, potatoes and thc garden with satis factory results. THOMAII?. SALTER, Washington County, Ga., ro? po r s thai, seventy-five pounds per acre on old land increased both the Cotton and the Corn three-fold. Considero it far more economical than Peruvian Guano. Dr. E. PARSONS, Sanders ville, Washington County Ga., says: "My observation is that MAPES* SUPER-PHOS PH ATE is a preventive against rant in Cotton. Has abor t doubled the Cotton and trebled the Corn. Has done better than Peruvian Guano par pound." J. W. ?corr, of sams section, reports: "That his orop manured with Peruvian Guano waa far more effected by drought ard excessive rains than whiiro MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE was used, shall us : MATES' in preference to any fertilizer he has seen used by his neighbors." W. H. SPARKS, hatonton, Ga,, reports "On lind about half covered with sedge, and which h id not been cultivated in two years, when the man ire was put on, badly manured, crop would yield two pounds where the unman ured would yiel 1 ons." B. B. IAMXTON, Americas, Qa., reports: . "Obt lined the most satisfactory results from MAPES SUPER-PHOSPHATE, applying it as a top dressini :. Considered to have had the best garden this year in Southwestern Georgia." W. J. ANDRE BON, Fort Valley, Ga., reports: "MAl'Es' SUfER-PHOSPHATE lias donbled.the crop ot cotton In every case reported, and some re? port it las more than doubled their crop. On wheat and oatn the results are veiy eada fae tory." D. A. WARNOCK, Beach Branch, 8. O., reportII: "On land which always rusted cotton, increased the crop twofold; SB fine cotton as he has seen this year. .?Prevented rust Four rows unmanured rust? ed in August Everything the MAPES' bTJPER PHOSI HATE was tried on did welL Cotton Btooi the cold weather in Spring; kept perfectly green, and growed finely; has beat Peruvian Ouana in his neighbirhood. Believes it to be the BEST Manure now in use." E. R LILES, LilesvUle, Anson County, N. C., re? ports: "As compared with Peruvian Guano andBaugh's Super-Phosphate, tbe result was decidedly In favor of MAPES' bUPH ER-PHOSPH ATE ; attributed, be? yond doubt, to the fact that the ravages of the rust wore i iot, by a marked difference, BO severe where it was applied os where tho other manures were." JAM: ls MOMREXXN, Alston, S. C., reports: "FBI id a ton of Peruvian, and found the result but one hilf as compared with those from MAPES' SUPEIt-PBOSPHATE. Soil mostly sandy, with clay subsoil. Murkea difference in the size of tho bolla, in favor of MAPES* SUPER-PHOSPHATE On Cot? ton pl mts tho increased growth was about 100 per cent" JOH? R. HAIR, Mi ms, S. C.: "Cotton was more vigorous and healthy, and ma* hired at least two weeks earlier where MAPES' SOPER-PHOSPHATE was used as compared with other Fertilizers applied. MAPES' bUPER-PHOS PHAl'U produced loo pounds per acre more Cotton than Rhodes' Super-Phosphate, and 60 pounds per acre nore than Soluble Pacific Guano. Same quan? tity of oach. 150 pounds, used to the acre, cultivated ta the Borne manner. MAPES' bUPER-PHOSPHATE more than doubled the yield of Cotton." R. B. YENNING, Christ Church Parish, S. C., re? pot ts "Uno application, 200 pounds MAPES' SUPER P'IUNPH ' TE, per acre, made the cotton grow to the height of six feet, wheie it grow only two feet the year before. Considers MAPES' sUPER-PHOS PHATE the best Fertilizer for SEA ISLAND COT? TON, and would safely recommend it to ell plant? ers." S. H. MEANS, 8partanburg, S. 0., writes: "Used 240 pounds per acre, applied May 18th. Can safely fay never saw a more vigorous growth impart ed to cotton from tho use of any manure. Satisfied the t se of MAPE.V ?UPER-PHOSPHAT? pays hand comdv," Rev. W. A. MERRIWKTBEB, Valle Cruels, near Co? lumbia, S. C., reports: "HAFKS* SUPER-PHOSPHATE haB given perfect satii i action, and that it permanently improves the soil Has no hesitation in saying lt is the special mature for tho turnip and Irish potato." P. C. PENDLETON, Valdoston, Ga., writes : "1IAPES" sUPER-PHOaPHATE has exceeded my moet sanguino expectations, the effects of Its use on Corn, Peas aud Garden Vegetables was most marked. If lt can be always kept np to the stan? dard it must take the pi efe reu ce of all fertilizers in use." M. B. HUNTER, Qui tm an, Ga., reports: " tppll?d at the rate of 150 pounds per acre upon eve :y alternate four rows. The result was truly as? ton^ thing.
