Meeks, colored, pastor of 'Hie Congre gational Church, is once more a pris oner in the county jail, having been surrendered to the county authorities by his bondsmen. Meeks, it will be recalled, was arrested more than a month ago on the charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. Shortly af ter his arres*. he was released on bond, ‘several colored preachers and Prof. R. M. Alexander going his bond. After being released Meeks went to Virginia and his bondsmen feared they would have to make good the bond, so they had Meeks arrested. They made up a purse to pay the cost of bringing him back to Spartanburg. Constable T. D. Nelson left here Sat urday morning for the prisoner and rtVurned yesterday afternoon. Meeks in talking about his case said that he had no intention of jump ing his bond; that before leaving Spartanburg be consulted his lawyer and went away for the purpose raising funds to settle the case. It will he remembered tha'o Meeks was arrested on half a dozen charges of securing money by false pretenses. $ ii A big stock of the laugh* laiu Valentine.-, a - also the high priced exipiifite art ell'ects.

Large crops ot good corn result from preparing the land well, using the right kind and quantity of fertilizer, good seed and proper cultivation. Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers will greatly “ increase your yield per acre ” of com or any other crop. In some cases remarkable results have been obtained. Mr. C. W. Caruthers of Sumpter County, Fla., writes; ‘‘Words cannot express the value of your fertilizer. It is really so far aheira of other companies’ goods, that it would not pay anyone to use other brands, were they given free and put in the field. 1 can prove what 1 say to be a fact. 1 made a test on five acres. 1 used on one half the land your fertilizer and on the other half another company’s fertil izer, same grade; the land received the same cultivation every time. I kept a correct account of the amount of money I got off each half and /g >t $J00 more from the land on which I used Virginia Carolina Fertilizer than I did ojf the other half.
