Will thus be' enabled to re
inquiries which have lately'been made
upon the snbject.
In an essay upon "Manures,” read
in 1870 before the Richmond County
Agricultural Society, when referring
to animal mannros, I said:
"Although this term, strictly speak
lag, means only such as are produced
either from the excrements of i
from the excrements of animals
or from their flesh, blood or bones, it
is usually applied to manures pro
duced from tbe excrements of animals
and tbe admixture of straw, leaves, or
other vegetable matter used as litter,
this being commonly termed stable
manure. The quality depends much
upon the food given to cattle, as well
as npon the natare of the litter used.
The richer the food, the richer will be
the manure produced. Wheal and oat
straw, oak learns, hay, grass, csrn
stalks, and similar vegetable matter,
shonld be freely used for litter. Avoid
pine straw, pine sawdust, or pine
sharings, all being injarions to land
from the resinous principles the con
tain.”
This assertion gave rise at the time
to considerable discussion and a reply
to many arguments against it was
published in the Chronicle. I cannot
better answer the queries lately re
ceived than to refer to my reply.
"Pine straw as a mulch is good. As
a disintegrating medium for very stiff
clay soils, impermeable to air, it can
be beneficial, but only for that pur
pose. The leaf of the pine is com
posed of silicate fa hard mineral sub
stance) vegetable fibre and rosin. Both
silicate and vegetable base are insolu
ble, hence not available as plant food.
The ashes of pine straw, submitted to
analysis, give less potash as a result
than the asbes of any other vegetable,
the pro()ortion being 0.45 iu 1,000
parts. Wheat straw, after tbe grain is
formed, gives 8.90 of potash in 1,000

potash. Potash being one of tbe main
constituents of tbe plants we usually
grow as agricultural crops, It is evi
dent that a soil deficient in it cannot
be productive and pine straw cannot
give whst is required, because it can
not undergo a transformation which
would make it soluble and thus be ab
sorbed by plants.

of different countries, it is shown that
resinous matter is contained in some

What Doctor Carry Soya of the Roceat Ob-
Joctloaa to HU Appolataacnt.
The Rev. Dr. Curry, the newly ap
pointed Minister to Spain, spent a day
last week at tbe State Department,
where be consulted with the Secretary
and Assistant Secretary of State, with
his predecessor, and with Mr. Wil
liams, United States Consul-General to
Cuba. To a reporter of the Associated
Press, Dr. Curry said he expected to
leave for hit post on the 5th Novem
ber. “It is said, sir,” remarked the
reporter, "that you were once in com
mand at Andersonrilie, and were in
part responsible for the cruelty prac
ticed toward the Federal prisoners.”
"I never was in Andersonrilie in my
life,” replied Dr. Curry, "and I never
had command of Federal prisoners in
my life, except such as I captured my
self and those I turned over at once.
I cannot imagine how such a story got
its start. I snail be glad if you will
make my denial broad and emphatic.”
“The critics of your appointment,”
continued tbe reporter, "question the
propriety ot sending Baptist clergy
near a court so strongly Catholic.”
"The criticism is unjust,” was the
reply. "It would be a strange thing
if tbe strongest denomination in the
country—yon know we are the strong
est—were to be disqualified for diplo
matic offices on religions grounds. A
man’s religion, I hold, is a thing be
tween his God and himself, and one
with which the Government has noth
ing to do. 1 am a little surprised at
the criticism too. The hardest strag
gle I have had when In politics was as
a candidate for the Legislature in Ala
bama during the "Know-Nothing” ex
citement. The issues, yon remember,
were two—one a proposition to deny
egi
iu<
to foreigners the privilege of nstualiia-
tton after six years residence, and the
other proposition to disqualify Uoman-
nol “
ists from holding office. My county
was a pivotal one, and my competitor
the ablest man on that side ot the
State. My success was very gratify
ing.”
"Were you an anti-Know-Nothing!”
"Yes; 1 was a champion, I can’t say
of the Catholics, but of the principle of
Americanism, which is embodied in
the Constitution, of equal rights and
privileges for all.”
"Of course yon anticipate no objec
tion from the Spaniards to your recep
tion T’
‘‘Certainly not. The Spanish Gov
ernment knows my mission has nothing
to do with religion.”
"I am very much gratified by two
things, I may say three things,” con
tinued Dr. Curry. "When I was ob
jected to on the ground of being un
known, so strong a Republican paper
as the Providence i/ournuf vouched for
me and said 1 was all right. Again,
Mr. Washbnra’s card was exceedingly
gratifying, coming from a Republican
loader, himselt having been eight vears
Bi

cign
sions of ap
mroval from the colored peo-
le of tbe South have been exceedingly
hearty and pleasing. My long connec
tion witb the Peabody fund baa made
me widely known among them and
they have taken pains to express their
approval of my appointment.”

A delegation of Southern men,
among whom were Senators Ransom,
Harris and Gibson and Congressman
King, of Lonisiana. was beard last
week by Secretary Manning and As
sistant Secretary Fairchild in behalf of
tbe rice planters. They seek to have
rescinded or amended an order issued
during Secretary Folger’s administra
tion under which they say food rice is
admitted in large quantities at the rate
of 20 per cent., ad valorutn instead of
paying the specific rate fixed by law.
The order referred to relates to granu
lated rice, an article imported largely
for brewers. The claim is mode by
planters that importations under this
order are doing great injurv to the
market for food rice. The Secretary
has the matter under adrisemant.

people that it is surprising that he was
larlier ui
not lynched at an earlier day. Among
his otter offences, It is said that in a
drunken fit he lashed bis wife severe
ly with a buggy whip, and when re
monstrated with by her mother lashed
that lady in the same way. As a con
sequence of his behavior, a separation
took place. Mr. Guibreath, however,
continued a aurveillanoe over his wife’s
actions, and without any reason what
ever was fnrioosly jealous. As is
knowa,Mr. Hammond was assassinated
in the yard of Mrs. Cuibreath’s house
where he had gone at the request of
her son to remain tor the night. One
of my informant* says that ho knows
it to be a fact that Mr. Guibreath
caused-Hammond to be assassinated,
and that he was as much the assassin
as thongh he had actnailv pulled the
trigger. This, at all evenis, was be
lieved in the county and was the imme
diate cause of the lynching, Tbe peo-
S le of the county felt that such con-
uct should be tolerated no longer,
and they unwisely took the law into
their own hands. An Edgefield man
whom I talked with said, with great
emphasis, that lie held that lynching
was never justifiable, but if ever it was
to be justifiable it was so in Gulbreath’s
case.
Them are now fn Edgefield jail more
than thirty persons who are accused
of participation in the lynching. The
accommodations are altogether insuf
ficient, and tbe prisoners are threaten
ed with disease by reason of the condi
tion of the buildings in which they are
confined. They did not apply for
bail, but have suflered severely al
ready, and their suffering is not in
their confinement alone. Tbe accused
form the bulk of the adult male popu
lation of two or more townships in
Edgefield county. They afe taken
from their plantations at a busy season
of the year, and in their absence it is
impracticable to control the colored
laborers, who are filching the cotton
from the fields right and left. It is
asserted in all seriousness thal many
families will be deprived of bread anil
meat by the arrest of the accused, all
of whom, It is said, are ready to give
bail to any amount that may be requir
ed.
I give these statements in order that
the public may know what is said by
those who are acquainted with the
lynchers, and who feel that the act was
so nearly justifiable (bat there is no
reason to keep the accused in jail, and
who maintain, further, that the facts
to be developed before the grand jury
or iu opeu Court will satisfy the putlic
mind that no great wrong has beea
done. When it is urged that the
Courts should have been resorted to, it
is shown that the original offences of
Guibreath could not have been made
the subject of a judicial investigation
without a public scandal.
As regards the assassination of Ham
mond there is a feeling, I am sorry to
say, that whatever the evidence, Cul-
breath would not have been convicted,
and that lynch law wnt the only law
that would meet his case. The accused
are said to be highly respectable, in
dustrious and well-behaved citizens,
who would never, save as a last resort,
be guiljy of an act of violence of any
kind.
All this is given to the readers of tbe
Newt and Courier, without comment,
and in order that they may know what
is the opinion held by those who claim
to be familiar with the facts of the
case.

with being accessories to the Guibreath
lynching. He had warrants for two
other parties, bat could not find them.
The sheriff was arrested to-day by
Coroner Johnson under a warrant
charging him with official misconduct
in permitting and allowing prisoners
to escape. The sheriff gave bond for
his appearance at Court. Two prison
ers, Collier Hammond and Reuben
Johnson, were granted permission last
night to go to their respective homes
under charge of a constable, the party
to return to-night. For this offence
another warrant was issued against the
sheriff, charging him with maliciously
permitting prisoners to escape. He
was again arrested and again promptly
gave bail.

to be received by the slave-holding

not been able to break down the class

for means to break the agreement of
Grant, (be leaders of tho oligarchy

It is possible that money dipped Into a
bounteous supply »f printer’s ink, is to be
used to teach false ideas.
Why is it that such persistent anathemas
should ail at once be hurled against the use
of “Potash and Potash Mixtures?”
Those who insist that Potash is a poison
do so because that is the way they have of
fighting B. B. B., as the fatter contains
potash properly combined.
Opium, morphine, strychnine, aconite,
whiskey, etc., are all deadly poisons, and
are daily destroying tbe fives of people,
and why do not these men cry out against
them? It is because there is no money in
sight to do so. Potash is not regarded as a
poison, and very seldom harms any one;
but those who abuse it are usings vegeta
ble poison ten times as violent Iodide of
Potash, in proper combination. Is regarded
by the medical profession as the quicker,
grandest and most powerful blood remedy
•ver known to man. Those who believe In
revealed combination* and Indian foolish
ness are surely in a condition to become
rather “cranky” in their ideas at any time.
We assert unoerstandlngty that Potsslv *s
used in the manufacture of B. B. B., is not
a poison, and the public need not place any
confidence In assertion# to the contrary.
Why is it that in one thousand letters
which we receive we never hear a word
against its use? Tbe truth Is; B. Ik JB. ia
working such wonders in the cure of all
blood poisons, scrofula, rheumatism, ca
tarrh, etc., that others are trembling la
their boots, and cry aloud, “poison,”
“fraud,'' because they fear its triumphant
march. Let any man or woman ask any
or druggist if
right Do not be deceived, but go
right along aad eaN for B. B. Ik, aad be
