DEAR SIR: In answer TO your enquiry as
to tl,e merits Of the Carolina Fertilizer and
other GiauoS, purchased from Carwi!c 4
Mclaughlin last Spring, amountinsin all to
about ten Tons, take pleasure in making
the following statements:
On 6 acres upland. light, sandy soil,
used $50 lbs. Carolina Fertilizer per acre, and
gathered from each, 1890 lbs. seed cotton or
13 800 lbs in all.
On IS acres upland, Of the same kind OF
soil, used Guano'S in about the same pro-
portion, and made from this field about /;
bales lint cotton per acre. or 81 bales in ALL
each weighing over 400 lbs.
For The preparing and cultivation Of these
lanls l followed the same plan us rccom>
mended in my report on Gotten to the Agri-
cultural Society, in Columbia, on 9th Nov,
1869.
also believe, from my past experience in
the use Of Fertilizers, that they are profitable
with Cotton 4: 10 10 l2ic. per b., and will
pay at these prices 1T least 100 per cent. on
amount invested.
Very Respectfully.

DEAR SIR: My opinion Of the use Of Fer
tiIizers, and the result OF ~ Tons purchased
of Car~ilc & McCauShrin las: spring. is that
the free use OF good Fertilizers year after year
will add greatly TO the value of the land and
will pay handsome dividend rs an invest
nent I cannot go into details, but as an
instance: I have land AT my home place that
4 years ago it took 20 acres to make bales
of cotton, now, after the free use of Fcftili-
zerS for three years, will produce lale o.
cotton of 400 lbs. TO each acre, and some of
it more, and !uSt year acres Of it yielded
100 bushels Wheat. The last TWO seasons
have purchased from your firm, some 10
Tons Fertilizers. and can recommend the
Carolina Fertilizer, Parifc Guano and Baughs
Raw Bone, all OF which believe TO be excel.
lent manures and fully up 10 whist they are
represented TO be.

JOHN WEsLEY's WAY.-When
John Wesley saw young man i'm
danger of falling into snare of evil
associates, he did not watch him
sharply at a distance and speak Of his
shortcomings to others, predicting
that he was ION the high road TO
ruin" He invited him to his table,
and by a gentlemanly, affable manner,
sought to give him good subjects for
conduct. Advice thus hospirsblr
enforced was very impressive. lie
would draw out the young man in
conversation and learn what studies
he was most proficient i'm, which
were most essential 10 his success,
and then assist him to acquire a mas
terry over them. Another most val
liable way of aiding a Young nan
whom social danger threatened, was
to make him acquainted With well
disposed, religious young men, who
would lead him into good paths. He
watched over their future career
with fathers interest and tender
ness, and in very simple manner
accomplished vast amount of good,
besides preventing a world of evil.

B0TYOMLESS Rim

In the frenzy of those desperate days
Mr.. Meiggs permitted himself to per.
petrate acts the memory of which will
doubtless embitter his last conscious
hour on earth. He issued about $780,
600 in forged notes on the house OF
VIM. Neely, Thompson & Co., and
when this security became dull of ne
gotiation he came upon the market
with forged City Controllers war
rants These being standard securi-
ty, he had little difficulty in bypothe-
eating them for large sums and soon
had half million dollars pledged.
How long he would have continued
in this insane struggle had he not be-
come apprehensive of immediate de-
lection, it is impossible to say. But
simple incident or accident so alarm
ed him that he suddenly abandoned
the field and let the impending ruin
fall upon all the concerned.
The incident which thus prec;,.;tat-
ed the catastrophe was a visit tn
Meiggs BY Hampton North, the PuS' S
lie Marshal of San Francisco. who
knowing Meiggs to be dealer in city
scrip, innocently called upon him
about the sales Of few hundred dol.
lars worth of that security. Meiggs
being in that state of mind in which
"the thief doth fear each bush an of.
