0 COTTON is and will continue to be the money crop of the South. The planter who gets the most cotton from a given area at the least cost, is the one who makes the most money. Good cultivation. suitable rotation, and liberal use of fertilizers con tabling at least 3% actual IX'vd-cnc'lh .a will insure the largest yield. We will send Tree, upon npphrntinr, pamphlets th.u will interest every toUoi) planter in the South. GERMAN KALI WORKS. O.) Nassau St., New York. 913,000.000 WITII01T OWN KKS. Proceeds of Cotton Sales During tlie Civil War Now in the Treasury. The New York Sun. Washington, May 155.?"The records of the treasury are full of romances," said a treasury ollieial, "Take that bureau ealleil Ilie'Di vision of A handoned Lands and Proper)y.* 0 r e.vunpii It is in it>ell or. cent 0:1 1'tee.

Finally the amount became so irre.it that wlu-n Will iani F. <'handler became assistant secretary he created a division to have charge ot" the entire matter. More than $ 1 2,tH)0.0'M) charged to that division is the proceeds ol cotton taken from nlantations and towns all over t: soutli an 1 sold. I know of one case in which $2,000,000 worth of cotton was taken from a far south plantation, when the staple was worth $500 a bale and sold. The people to whom it. belonged were not rebels at all, 1 >ut were always loyal to the Union. They haven't an idea where their cotton went to. Their names were on the hales: and it would not be at all dillicult for them to make their case! if tl\oy only knew what to do. It is nearly d7 years since the inoii- j ey was deposited there. I don't J know whether any of the owners are alive or not, and it they are it is hardly probable that they will ever get back what is really their own. All the testimony in the case is in possession of the government, and it never lets go j anything it gets its hands on.! The agent who took this cotton is dead long ago, as is the man who i sold it. So you see the owners could not prove their case by oit her of t hem. "There are other instances! similar to this. In 18b.'! we re ceived from a government agent more than $lttO(M)D, which was the proceeds of cotton taken from a foreigner supposed to be a blockade runner in on" of the InriMf nl t Li. U' 1 Secretary McCulloch heard <>1 this ho said: 4k 'This money is only held in trust by the government. Some There is a time fur all things. The time to take I )?

Crawford Bros. jk , & A > J> / day we shall be obliged to ac- 1 count for it, for the United Stales has really no right to keep it.' j But from that time until now no \ demand has ever been made on t us for it, and there it lies. I ( doubt if the owner ever knew 1 just where it did go. "When General Sherman's army occupied the towns of the South Atlantic seaboard the Con- 1 teilerat.es destroyed all tIk? cotton possible before they surrendered. Cotton worth millions of dollars was burned to keep it from fall- " p . ing into our hands. The real < mwners could not toll what was J I i ' i thus burned and what was saved, i But we kntnv and this was the ? | way. l'he books we olten cap | lured, for instance, showed th.it i dames Brown, a merchant, had so many bales marked in a certain \ wav. The bales not burned i , ' .. .. b I could thus no easily identified I n from tlie marks and names on s, them. In all eases the hooks t! captured containing the names / of the consignors and owners ' n | were sent tot lie treasury with the ' papers relating to the capture Where are these hooks and pa pers? Well, I don't know; hut ! I I suppose they are somewhere iuj the treasury vaults. "As we never knew when the 'claimants might come forward land make a demand on thetreas' urv for the proceeds of their cot , ! ton. the money it brought was I never turned into the general] j fund. hut always remained in an I aeeount by itself. It is so long since this money was deposited and the testimony .. ... i v mi in ik?* ;i r;isi? is 1 r 1 sn I many instances unattainable l?y !

Kx Attorney doner ! jal Williams and deneral U. | ' Hut lor, of Massachusetts were his counsel. They got hack for him $1.00,000 for cotton taken in the manner I have described. <ieneral Hut lor saidTo mo when that case was pending: "If I were a few years younger .and wanted to make a vast for- ' tuno quickly I could ilo it more easily and eoitainly in the prose- I cution of these claims than iti any other way.' "It was always a wonder to me that after the action of the government in the Lamar case more i southern people did not attempt to recover their money from the treasury. The principle of repayment was then established. The main difficulty, of course. I would be to prove that their par tieular cotton was taken, sold v and the money turned into th< * treasury." > I i Koitol I>ysp<*p?ia <'un? roinptotol* i ! digests food within tstomach am: ? iiitcstirn-s an l renders all Hasses ?> v food cnpabtn of being assimilated am' " } converted into strength giving t.im *?i < building substances.
