The s* tag contains in plain terms, "guaranteed analysis: nitrogen 6.18 "per ' cent." st n When meal is described as 8 per ^ Hi cent, meal the meaning is that it ^ contains S per cent, of ammonia. The term "ammonia" should no longer be M used, but since the mill men and w M many others still continue the use of pi H the term, the buyer must learn what m M > it means. If our reader had known tc K that to find out whether thi6 meal pi contained 8 per cent, of ammonia he | fonly had to multiply the guaranteea per cent, of nitrogen by 17 and di- b; vide the product by 14, he could B easily have found out that the meal P1 ' sold him was not "8 per cent, meal," but only 7 1-2 per cent meal. That w is, meal guaranteed to contain 6.18 C per cent of nitrogen only contains ai as much nitrogen as there is in meal at containing 7 1-2 per cent ammonia, h: When meal containing 6.18 per cent, te of nitrogen, equivalent to 7.5 per ti k cent, of ammonia, equivalent to 38.6 C ' per cent, of protein, sells for $24 a w ton, meal containing 6.59 per cent, aj of nitrogen, equivalent to 6 per cent of ammonia, equivalent to 41.19 per ' cent, of protein, is worth about $25.50 a ton. Meal guaranteed to contain 6.IS per cent, of nitrogen, equivalent to 7.5 per cent, of ammonia is not the g< best meal, for there is meal on the e: market containing more nitrogen, which is the basis on which cotton- bi seed meal should be bought and sold. an anniva *"1'0 cnauge amugcu lent of ammonia, multiply by 17 and w jj^fc divide by 14.

I Columbia, Jan. 14.?Coleman Liv- i igston Blease brought his stormy ad- t linistration to a sudden and dramat- c ; eud today at noon when he re- < gned the office of governor. Charles ? Smith, lieutenant governor, took ? le oath of office as governor at f 2:49 o'clock in the supreme court 1 >om, the oath being administered I y Chief Justice Eugene B. Gary, t overnor Smith immediately took t jssession of the chief executive's; a fice. j I The resignation of Mr. Blease as t jvernor came like a thunderclap, j c he two houses in joint session had ^ I ist elected Mendel L. Smith, of Cam-j s m, judge of the 5th circuit and the j i mate had returned to their chamber, | a hen Lieutenant Governor Smith was r Dtified by messenger that Governor j r lease had resigned. A message from! f r. Blease was received in the sen-, i :e notifying them of this fact. It: t jad as follows: j J "To the general assembly of South j arolina: I hereby resign as gover- t 3r of South Carolina. "COLE L. BLEASE." I Before the message was read by { r. M. M. Mann, the clerk, the sen-j :e knew its contents and the sena-;s ?rs broke into handclapping as Lieu-; ' inant Governor Smith descended.c om the president's stand and start-1* i down stairs to qualify as gover- c Dr. Senator Lide moved the accep- ? ince of the resignation of Mr. Blease ( ; governor, which was promptly ( c me.

With the former governor by is side Governor Smith walked j1 iwn the corridor to the chief execu-1 ve's office and assumed charge. * eople pressed in to congratulate the J 1 ew governor. His first act was to j md a message to the houscand sen-;1 :e notifying them that Mr. Blease! 1 ad resigned and that he had taKen le oath of office as chief executive .' South Carolina. The resignation of Mr. Blease as 1 avernor was conveyed to the house " iortly after it reached the senate. , was received in silence. f Governor Smith retained the office 1 c aff of former Governor Blease, Mr. 1 J.

MADE THE TKIP TO LI1SEKIA. loe Cannon, Who Went With Colony I to Africa, Dead. Anderson. Jan. 15.?In the sud- W ien death here today in a black- g smith shop of Joe Cannon, for the P last thirty years a weil-known char- I icter about the city, there passed n iway probably the last survivor in N he country of the memorable exodus if negroes to Liberia which went out if Charleston some thirty-five years igo on the good ship Azores, the voyige of which was made ail the more arnous by reason of the fact that A. 3. Williams, then on the staff of the ^ews and Courier, and later editor >f the Greenville News, accompanied he expedition across the Atlantic, , ind through articles sent back to his >aper kept the public informed of he adventurous voyage of the Az>res. Joe Cannon made the trip to Iberia with an uncle, who had coniderable money. The two were livng in Newberry at the time. Soon ifter reaching Liberia the uncle's noney gave out and he and his Lephew set about getting money rom home for the return voyage. Vfter some eight months they reurned to America, and soon after Toe Cannon took up his residence in Anderson, where he followed the rade of a brick mason. Setter Borrow Money and Pay Cash. A cash basis is what every farmer ihould aim to get on. Certainly vhenever no better form of rural iredits is available it will pay repu,able farmers ninety-nine times out >f a hundred to borrow money from :ome bank or honest money-lender [preferably a bank) at 6 or S per leni. interest lur iweive iiiumus instead of paying at the rate of >10 to 10 per cent, a year in the form of 'time prices." Only a few months igo the writer sent out a batch of inluiries to several hundred farmers n the South Atlantic and South Cenral States including the following juestions: "About how much more do mershants charge for time prices than or cash prices in your community? iVhat per cent, extra for six months ime? A Taking 50 replies, without selec- m ion, just exactly as we come to them. W ,ve find farmers' replies as follows: k Per cent, extra charges for six nonths'time prices: S?15?5?30 to 100?40?5?20?20?25?10?8? >5? to 40?40?40?10?20 to 50 ?50?20?25 to 50?35?10 to 25 f ?10 to 20?10?15?15 to 25? 0 to 50?25 to 40?47?"2 for 1" -8?10 to 50?10?15?33 1-3? H 'They charge from 25 per cent, to I I jrand larceny"?10 to 20?10?4? >?10?15?4?16?20?10?20 to 15?10?20?50?25?10 to 25. 3.W And with such figures it seems iafe to assume that on time prices or ordinary .^supplies the- average 'tui'O'o to 1?: trv 9ft npr cprit- for six nonths' time, or at a rate of 30 to 10 per cent, interest per annum, and vhen the account runs only three nonths, the charge might thus equal i 60 to 80 per cent, interest rate, and vith such evidence it should certainy not be necessary to ask whether t will pay to borrow money at 6 to 1 per cent, per year and save from 10 to 40 per cent, thereby. Instead of paying "time prices" we should certainly advise any honest 'armer to go to some banker or man >f wealth and borrow money at "a easonable rate of interest, put it in i bank, and check on it as needed to >av cash for whatever he needs. Understand us, we do not favor jutting all the blame on the mer:hants. They have to stand so many osses from dishonest and shiftless lersons that they must make time irises exorbitant; .so exorbitant that tn honest man can't afford to pay hem?certainly not until he has tried lis local banks and exhausted all >ther efforts to get money at a reaionable rate of interest.?Progressive farmer.

The rotation o set up would result in the producion of cold currents which might ause the temperatirre to become inerior to 364 degrees, the critical emperature of water, and the curents would be such as to cause the ondensation of the oceans to be proluced round the south pole, and to le'termine that the direction of the m-i-onti! eVi/Mii/1 ho tnwarH tho oniiA or, which explains the pointed form wjt f the austral continents.
