termined to make more manurethan he
had hitherto done, and for that purpose
took three sold negroes of little value for
any thing else. But his manure being all

An EYE WITNESS.
Dec. 26, 1910.
We thank "An Eye Witness" for his
communication. Cannot others follsw the
example! Facts like those stated by him
must exert an influence fur good upon old
fashioned farmers and planters, who can
not spare time to make msnnEe. Why do
sucl men spare time to hue their cotton
or thin it? Because, they reply, they
thereby make more cotton than they
could by employing the same labor at the
same time in any other way. Well, if
they can make more cotton by bcstowiag

spreading manure Than by employing it in
any other way, why not do sol

We understand that several instances
of the fraudulent packing of cotton have
lately been detected in this town: Good
