.D1kEcTleSs FOR UsE:-As many of our readers
are ire pr probably using Rhodes Super-PhOsphate, SO
long recognized as standard manure, we append
authorized directions as TO how it should be man
aged: Be #1e2k -
Rhodes Super-Phosphate can be used either
broadcast or in the hill, or with the seed IN the
drill-in No instance is it to be ploughed under q
sod nor baSlded upon. In case of replantlng or
backward growth, Rhodes applied as top-dress'
ing, produces speedy growth-it does mot fire.
Exposure is of great advantage as 1t aosoros am
monia from the atmosphere rain and ,deN-lt he
ing established that large quantity of ammonia
per acre is evolved during the year from these
sources An application of 200 pounds per acre is
considered sufficient for. crops, but experienced
planters report 800 pounds per acre rs repaying
the outlay-high manurng, on few acres, being
the t.desirable under eur changed labor sys-
tenn. Professor Charles, U. Shepard, in recent
paper says
aThe planter will never obtain the best of arti-
fcial fertilizers until he incorporates them largely
with; composts of stable manure, vegetable muck
and wood ashes The idea of trusting to few
hundred pounds to the acre, Of even the best fer-
tilizers, Seems next to absurd to the Northern or
European agrcutturist who thinks nothing OF en-
riching the same area with ten or fifteen tons OF
sound compost!
,HonsE THEE ARREsTED.-0n Sunday night
last, bay mare belonging to Mr. DAVID CROSBY
was stolen from his plantation, three miles east OF
this place and upon the fact being discovered ear
" ON Monday morning, pursuit was at once made
by himself and others The heavy rain on Sunday
night o5lflerating previous trucks, they were
enabled to follow the course taken By the thief
without much trouble. Passing through the VII
Iase, they tracked the horse out upon the Pendei
ION road, and aboutt two miles from here, met the
animal returning homeward, riderless and without
saddle. 1t scems that the thief was thrown oy the
horse, near Mr. ELIAS EAnLE's Cross Roads place.
and before his pursuers reached that point, ne had
been discovered on The side of the road, disabled
by the fall. Only few hours elapsed before the
hapless youth was brought to town, upon = war
rant issued for his arrest, and he was iodgeu In
JAIL He is white man, aged about 70 years, b
feet or 9 inches high, auburn hair, grey eyes,
light noustache and side whiskers, forid complex
ion and rongh featured. He gives his name as
Joux SULLIVAN, and halls from various places,
sometimes Abbeville or Greenvillc, and occasional
ly Kentucky. "a III kf
On Saturday night and Sunday previous to his
arrest, this scoundrel was at the house OF Mr.. n.
y. BnowX, in the neighborhood where the horse
was stolen, and told that gentleman various stories
concerning himself, ircluding q statement tina: he
had the misfortune to lose valuable horse on
Saturday, few miles from Williamson, and hence
was afoot Mr.. Brown, susrecting that Gil was
NOT right, kept an eye upon him, and when he dis
covered at day light on Monday morning that the
bird had flown, at once concluded that the afore-
said bird had horses .on the bran but was graft
fed to find that the fellow had allowed his own
horses to pass unoticed. On nhearng Of Mr.. CRos-
BYs loss these suspicious began to assume definite
shape and the sequel brought him face to face with
his quondam guest.
We have NO doubt that this thief belonged to
gang, and has been engaged in the business of
horse-stealing for several years. Indeed, we are
informed that warrant for his arrest had been
lodged in the Sherif's Office last week, and there
ore thus two cases on the docket against him.
