Almost one-half of our space this week is taken up with political communications of nurely personal signifieansee. As our advertising space is a part of our stock in trade and it costs money to set type, ofcourse we cannot afford to till the paper with matter that is of interest <>nly to those directly concerned. After a moment's consideration we do not believe any candidate would expect such a gratuity its would entail on us a i>ersonal loss. We have decided to run these cards and political articles at onehalf our regular rate, or live cents j a line, so that any one interested can figure out for himself what his card will cost by counting the nuinix-r of lines and multiplying by live. We make this price uniform to all so that there can be no possible causej for complaint. / * ? Card of Thanks. Kditor County Kecora:?

Soil may be the same and seed may seem- the same but some plants are weak and others strong. And that's the way with children. They are like young plants. Same food, same home, same care but some grow big and strong while others stay small and weak. Scott's Emulsion offers an easy way out of the difficulty. Child weakness often means Starvation, not because of lack of food, but because the food does not feed. Scott's Emulsion really feeds met gives the child growing strength. Whatever the cause of weakness and failure to grow? Scott's Emulsion seems to find it and set the matter light Send for free sample $cctt & T'-owne. Chemists, 4>n Pearl St., Yorif ACCIDENT AT CADE*.

September I, 19.0$, THE COMMERCIAL AND AGRICULTURAL VALUE OF FERTHJZERS, What Is known && the oommerclai value of fertilisers as published in agricultural bulletins and similar doo omenta. is a valuation made up by adding together the average value of the chemical ingredients which are Contained in the fertilizers. The agricultural value of a fertiliser ie variable according to the skill at the farmer and according to the crop, and according to the seasons. It crop, and the seasons. It is the practical result obtained in applying the fertilizers. The two values OUgnt to De aoout tne same, ana on the average they probably are about the same, but the Individual farmer who gives careful personal attention to his valueB will be able to make considerable difference In his results by studying the underlying principles. The chemical Ingredients which are recognized as Imparting commercial value to fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. There Is but one source of phosphoric acid which Is at ail practical and which is made use of In the manufacture of fertilizers to the South. This ie acid phosphate, which Is made by treating phosphate rock with sulphuric acid. The most ordinary source of potash is kainlt, which is mined. In Germany. The phosphoric acid and the potash, which are derived from these sources, are about the same In their resultR on crops as the phosphoric acid and potash derived from any other sources, but the sources of nitrogen are numerous. This Is tie most Important and eapenslve Ingredient In fertilizers. The commercial value of fertilizers, based on the analysis of the contained nitrogen, is reckoned Just the same no matter from what source the nitrogen Is obtained, and this fact is apt to mislead the farmer in his estimate of the kinds of fertilizer to use for certain crops. For example* a fertilizer containing nitrate of soda contains a splendid form of nitrogen, and one which Is very soluble: therefore. It Is very good for early vegetables and quick gTowIng crops, but tt Is entirely too soluble for use la the cotton crop. The cotton plant Is of slow growth and Deeds to have Its food supplied throughout a long Interval. A fertiliser containing cotton seed meal, having the game amount of nitrogen as another fertiliser made of nitrate of soda or any other source of nitrogen. Is much more valuable to the cotton plant, even at the same commercial value, than any other kind of fertilizer. The nitrogen in cotton seed meal Is all soluble, but it requires some time to be put into oomplete solution. This is eaactly what slow-growing crops like cotton and corn require, therefore. It is Important for farmers In the purchase of fertilizer to specify that this fertilizer Is made with cotton seed meal, rather than other chemicals used as a source of nitrogen (or. what la the same thing, the source of ammonia.) All fertilizers containing nitrogen in any form are generally known as amrooniated fertilizers. Let every farmer see to It that his fertilizers are ammoniated with ootton seed meal, and, as be knows he can not get the meai to better advantage than from any of the local mills 6t the Southern Cotton Qil Company of the Carolinas and Georgia, or through their headquarters at Columbia.
