persons, not only of employers and employees, but
OF the public generally, to the notice that appears
In to-days issue, regarding the early closing or
certain stores on King street to-day, and eyery
subsequent Saturday until October LIST. The re-
creation thus afforded will be appreciated by the
clerks, and the time thus spent will be Of more pro-
1t TO the employers than il they had kept their
establishments open for the public will note those
who 90 not observe this custom, and though their
gains may be more on those days. their selfshness

has been time-honorod custom to close not onlv
the King street stores, bnt those on Meeting and
East Bay streets, on the Saturday afternoons, be-
tween May and October. That season has now
commenced, and we are glad to see that go large a

MAPEs SuPER-FHosPHATR OF It1n.-The failure
OF last years crop should admonish the planter TO
neglect nothing that would advance his interests
and tend. .to improve both his land and his crops.
During the past few years many new fertilizers
have been introduced, butYaveral have fallen far
below the expectations Of those who :,ave used
them. Under these circumstances it becomes ne
cessary for the planter to use only those that
known to be capable Of recuperating the exhaust
ed land. Those fertilizers that are composed Of
lime have been generally found superior to com
mon manures, and they have been gradually in
creasing IN pubhc favor. The ground and the crops
Doth require subsistence and lime enters largely
tato the system Of growing plants ~ s5sS$#f
MAPFs' Nltrogenized Phosphate Of Lime is one
OF the most superior fertilizers known, and has
been used by many with great success It NAV be
used for top dressing, and both before and after
planting the crop, it cannot be lost by eyapora-
ton, none Of its constituents being yioatile. II
has been found invaluable both to the farmer and
the horhculturist, as it can be applied at all sea-
sons OF the year. Messrs. KMsMAN tk;HowEI1

Carolina, and are prepared to fill all orders with
