BATEsvILLE, Nov. 9th 1871

I used about 100 pounds of Stono Dis
solved Phosphate, mixed with equal weights
cotton see% and stable-manpA. also
used 3 tons favorite and higher priced
Guanos. In two rows side by side across
a field 40 yards long, one manured with
the Phosphate Compost. the other with
higher priced. Compost row yielded %
pounds more seed cotton than the more
costly fertilizer. This would make about
80 pounds per acre in favor of the Com
post. The higher priced fertilizer used is
undoubtedly a good manure, but as the
Compost yielded as much as the Guano
and enough over to more than pay. he
cost, it is hardly necessary for me to sayI
shall use no other next year. I also used
some of the Phosphate Compost unde,
Corn with the most satisfactory results
standing the drouth "a severe ,onel both
under Corn and Cotton, better than an,
manure which / used. ~

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 Of
commercial fertilizers, costing much more
money, did on the same lands last year
I used also onc-hall 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 SO good that
shall use it another year till I.usc all my
Cotton Seed, and for the balance oil my
crop shall use the Stono Guano, these
fertilizers being, in my opinion, the best |
ever used. B. W. HAICHEk.

EXPERIENCE IN THE USE OF this

In accordance with the established

lowing extract ,i5A
Since November, 1868, when yo9
court was held alter the division, tsN4
have been only twepty-seven bills OF m
dictmcnt handed TO thesrand jury by 'he
solicitor up to theNpr&int term OF the,
not less than ten thousand. Have fewer
violations 'of the rights of persons or
property been committed anywhere IN the
United States, as exhibited by they sta
tistics. by an equal population tnan in
the County of Plckens? Yours are pre-
enincntly law-abiding and law enforcing
people. Peace, order and prosperity per
1vades as result in JgaS borders. No
disquiet, alarm or interSSpce with Your
usual avocations have S&ertaken You.
The contrast here, with the situation pre-
vailing in several of the counties OF the
State is singularly favorable and crafty
ing to YOU. However men may differ IN
their opinions as to the wisdom and JUS
tice of the course pursued by the Federal
Government in suspendlng the writ OF
he6eas corpus in several of the counties
of the Statc-and it is due to frankness
that should, as an Individual, say 1t was,
il nv Judgment, a necessity-it is very
certain that the counties that frowned
down all unlawful comblnatlons--the coun-
ties that have protected person and prop
ertv bv law-the counties where peace,
quiet and good order have prevailed
have been exempted from the stern pro-
visions of the Presidents proclamation
suspending the habeas corpus. Persist IN
the GOOD conduct which has marked your
history tor three years past and be assured
the privileges of habeaS corpus will never
be denied 70 the County Of Plckens.
You have been taxed more heavily for
three years past than ever before, and
complaints are made in many quarters
that larger sums are collected than a Ju-
dicious economy would Justify, and charges
are preferred that there is not faithful
discussing or accounting for the co!lec-
tons, anditis recommended in some quar-
ters that the people should refuse to pay
the taxes imposed ior the fiscal year end
ing l5tlr January next Such advice.ln
nv opinion is i'll Judged and will work out
L
pernicious results.
Under our system of government, the
remedy for legislative and executive NAL
feasance-and the only safe and legitimate
remedv-is the ballot-box 1t may be
slow and embarrassing, but, sooner or
later, evils which may be subjects of Just
complaint will there be corrected. But
the man or community who undertakes to
oppose the laws of the State under which
they live, by force or violence, will surely
come to grief; they will most certainly
find the arm of even an obnoxious law
stronger than their best concerted opposi-
ton, until repealed by competent au-
thority :
As iaw-abiding citizens, you will, am
sure, hesitate long before you resolve to
resist the tax laws passed by the Leslsla-
ture, whether YOU think them oppressive
or otherwise. Ii the public officers charged
with collecting and disbursing the public
funds have been guilty Of fraud or specu-
lation, let their misdeeds be ferreted out,
and the guilty brought to punishment.

l used this year onmy Cotton one ton
Stono Dissolved Phosphate, andnever have
I been better pleased with the yield Es-
pecially was this the case when composted
with Cotton Seed ard Stable MANURE. The
beauty of this commercial fertilizer con-
ssts not only in its cheapness, but espe-
cially in its intrinsic value the econ
omy it engenders in accumulating such
materials for composing as are easily OBJ
tained ON farm, yet generally thrown
away. Our lands are thus moderately i'm
proved by the vegetable mould distribu-
ted, and stimulated by the Dissolved Phos-
phate: R. o. SANS.
