About Fertilizers.
We warn all users of fertilizers
that in order to keep yourselves
posted as to what brands are falling
below grade, that you will have to
keep up with the fertilizer bulletins
that are sent out by H M Stackhouse,
of Clemson College, to all
applicants free of charge.
Something more than one hundred
and forty- three thousand dollars
net fertilizer tax was paid into
Clemson last year for the specific
purpose of protecting the farnnJOs of
South Carolina from unscrupulous
fertilizer dealers. Pnt wheu this
bureau sent out a list of brands of
fertilizers that had fallen below
grade, some of our newspapers fail- i
ed to publish this list. Whether
these papers suppressed this infor
mation in the interest of fertilizer
monopolies and against the direct
interest of farmers from fear of the
fertilizer men we don't know. But
we do know that this scribe has
hem threatened with things that
smell like fire and brimstone and
lookslike peeping through iron prison
bars, all of which is lost energy,
for we have the facts, and intend j
<hat the farmers shall know these
facts if we have to take up contributtons
to send out special circulars
to the farming fraternity of the
State.

Is the whole earth a battle-ground
eternal betweeu species of both its
whole system of life in its products
of both flora and fauna?
We daily witness the struggles
for existence between the smaller
plants, and this natural warfare is
coutinned among all denominations
of plants from the smallest herb up
to the giant trees that battle with
each other for euprerne occupation
of the lands of the forest. Victory in
plant life is determined by plaut
food in the soil. But animal life
among brutes is controlled with
brute force until it reaches man,
when brain power gains the victory
over all flesh and plants. Without
consent of the writer I here ask
your opinion of this letter to our
bureau that follows:
I know of no clearer picture of
the present commercial situation,
and its effect open the farmer as an
individual, than the organized system
of business for profit, irrespect- j
^ the first.
This call is made by W C Moore,
State business agent for South Carolina,
for the purpose of acquainting
the union with important propoai- j
tions as to the most recent plans of |
business of the Union.
Recently there has been some
good work done in the way of concert
of action among the different
States in storing, selling and handling
cotton and other heavy articles
of trade among Union men, all of
which is very encouraging to those
that have taken hold of the thing
like brave and determined mm who
re after attending to their own busness
in their own J way. We expect
to meet at this Greenville gathering
a fine body of wide-awake Union
men that are doing* something.

SALE OF COTTON SELLS FOR $155.43.
enonslrafed Tbat Long Staple Can be
Grevn in tbe Up Ceontry.
Special to The State.
Baiesburg, April 21:?Mr M
2 Rutland of Batesburs: sold a bale
f cotton with its seed last week for
he goodly sum of $155.43. The
ale was of long staple and weighed
nly 453 pounds. Never before
as auy one in this community realsed
such a faucy^price for a bale of
otton. Mr Rutland has only been
arming for a few years, but in that
ime he has made a wonderful sueess,
attributable in the main to the
se of improved methods of farm?g
Several other farmers of this
lace raised long staple cotton lust
ear and they have thoroughly demnstrated
that it can be grown even
n this up country at a profit.
The ownership of the national
lanks of the United States is not in
he hands of the rich few, as is comnonly
supposed, because fully onelaif
of the banks have a capital of
ess than $100,000 each. Twelve
er cent have capitalizations of from
>100,000 to $250,000, while only 7
>er cent range between $250,000 and
11,000,000

Answer to Prayer.
It is said that the home of
drs J B Humbert was untouchd
by the flames during- the
jeat fire in Newberry, althoug-h
louses were destroyed all
.round it. This deliverance
ras in answer to her earnest
irayers while the conflagration
ras going on.
If pious people would pray
nore sincerely for the cause of

rould be solved without so

nswered in one case it might
