Coal Ashes as Il Eortilizer


VIM. Leonsrd Of South grotoh, Mass,
givcs the following statement in the New

Goa ashes - manure:
son an old moving field to much run
down, We top-drrssed a square peice Of
ground fairly with clear coal ashes early in
the spring. While the crop was CROWN y
at all stages the difference was percoptsble
When ready for the scylhe it was more in
quantity; and ns TO qnality, II procured nbou,
equal parts Of herd grasa and red clover. If
the clover was not introduced by tho agen-
cy OF tie ashes, we know not how it has in.
troduccd, for fuui years none was seen there
before, or in any part Of the field, and this
was the only clover seen in said field the
past season. Doth grass and clover was
more vigorous, green and lively within the
top'dressed squire, and just ms visible all
srcund was the exhausted crop, which said
~ sudIbly as grass rould suy, in its declin-
ing state, that it had received no such as-
s~isisnce from this individual fertilizer.

sssr We have been surprised several times
recently, at hearing gentlemen who ought to
know better, assert that the South Caroliuians,
are nothing but cowardly brsggarts and desti
tute OF the courage necessary to sustain them in
facing an enemy in the field OF battle Their
history proves axactly the reverse of this
Whatever their fai,ings may be, certainly
cowardice is not one of them. AS soldiers in
the Revolutionary struggle, in the war of
1912, and in the Mexican war, they were
distinguished for bravery end dauptless da-
ring. The Palmetto Regiment in the Mexi-
can War was regarded as among the bravest
of the many brave volunteers then in the u.
). service. In speaking of tie conduct Of
his State, during the Revolutionary War, a
distinguished son of South Carolina has truly
SAID that, never was there exhibited In the
history OF the World. higher examples of no.
BILE daring, dreadful suffering and heroic en-
durance, than by the patriots of Carolina du-
ring the Revolution. The whole State from
the mountains to the sea, was oyerrun by an
overwhelming force Of enemy. The fruits of
industry perished on the spot where they were
produced. or were consumed by the foe The
plains of Carolina, drank up the most pre-
cious blood of her citizens, black and smo-
king ruins marked the places which had been
the habitations Of her children Driven from
their homes, into the gloomy and almost In
penetrable swamps, even there the spirit of
liberty survived, and South Carolina sustain
ed by the example of her Sumpters and her
Marions, proved that though her soil might
be overrun, the spirit of her people was in-
yiDclble."
We do not wish to be understood as main
talniug that the citizens of South Carolina are
braver or better men than those of the other
States, for we do not entertain an opinion of
the kind. Our object is merely to show the
absurdity of the charge of cowardice brought
against them.
