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

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

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?

miliar with King Cotton that he was arrested

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

It was not tho knight of tho alar mid baton

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

Address by Professor Miles.
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.
Tho Lenten course of sermons will be
preached by Right Rev. Dr. P?rsico on the
Sunday evenings during Lent, with vespers
and benediction at 7 o'clock. The subject
or to-morrow evening will bo "The Unity of
the Church." A collection will be taken up
after tho sermon to aid the church in procur?
ing a new orgau.
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.

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. Tho manured rows yielded fully double
the neighboring alternate rows."
