I used two tons Stono Soluble Guano
at the rate of about one hundred and
twenty-five pounds per acre, on my Cot
ton the present year, which produced as
good results as two hundred pounds ol
commercial fertilizers, costing much more
money, did on the same lands last year.
l used also onc-half ton of Stono Dis
solved Phosphate composted with Cotton
Seed. The effects of one hundred pounds
Phosphate, and from seven to ten bushels
Cotton Seed per acre, was 80 good that l
shall use it another year till | use all my
Cotton Seed, and for the balance Of my
crop shall use the Stono Guano, these
fertilizers being, in my opinion, the best |
ever used. B. w. HATC HER

Colonel j. P. Thomas, Editor Columbia
PhocniI.
DEAR SIR: Your note of yesterday,
calling my attention to the denlal OF the
promise made by Governor Scott 10 the
late Tax-Payers' Convention, in refer.
ence to the postponemento OF the payment
of the taxes of the State" and asking me
"to give the public my reply to sald
denial. has been received.
NIyrecollection of that promise is as
follows, and if the notes of the steno-
grapher present at the interview are pre-
served, I think they will bear me out:
Upon it being represented 10 GOV. ocote
hardship upon the people to pay. Two
leyies in one year, especially when farm
ing operations had been so disastrous the
preceding year, he promised to postpone
the enforcement of penalty for non-pay :.
ment until the 1st of next March; that
he would have the tax books open, and
in the meantime, if any taxpayers 1elt
disposed to pay their taxes, they might
have the opportunity to do so.
The promise not to enforce the penalty
for non payment until the LIST OF March
was clear. reiterated, conclusive and un
mistakable.
Governor Scott, in assigning a reason
for a change of the time of collection to
November, did say that prominent gen
tlemen in the State had recommended a
change to the fail of fi' gear, as more
convenient season fc ersons in some
portions of the State pay their taxes;
but this had NOTHING ltever to do with
his promise to po. ne the penalty,
which was complete and unqualified.
Such. at least are my recollections OF
"t the promise and the interview. Very
respectfully, your obedient servant.

Read the extensive advertisement OF
Mai. s. S. Tompkins in another column.
The .Stono PhosphateS make the burden
of his song. First, note the very Lo'c
Prices as compared with other Fertilizers.
You have bought many kinds, and you
know thing or two in the matter. And
then study all those certificates well, and
mark the extraordinary results reported
therein. To Mr.. Markert's certificate we
can add our personal testimony. We
were aware of these facts before. They
are true to the letter. Mr.. Markert's
field is the old Johnson lot, Immediately
adjoining our own home. In seed-time,
srowing-time and harvest-time 1t falis
every day under our eye, and we can
truthfully say that the superiority of its
crop of this year was truly remarkable.
Of course tine Importance of getting
supplies of the Sono Phosphates carly
even now-is apparent to all farmers.
The longer the Stono stands in your own
lots, mingled with your own home in
gradients, the better will be the COM
post.
Concerningth superiority ofthe Stono'
both as regards quality and cheapness'
there is emphatically no doubt.
AS regards Maj. Tompkins, we all
know that of I'll men he is the least pre-
tentions, the least mercenary, the least
apt to misrepresent facts, no matter for
what purpose. And the Charleston men
who are at the head of the Stono Phos
phate Company are like wise men OF
