favors, but we are independent Of any
class of County officials, "Whom a

the people, aud who attempt to turn into

public patronage.
TO the County Offices and to the con-
ductors of the Medium we have repeat
edly expressed our readiness to acquiesce
in division of the advertising, but they
have only met us with evasive and un-
satisfactory replies, betraying a set pur-
pose to defeat our just claims. To those
Officers we can only say that public
journal is not worthy of the name
which is not able to protect itself, and
which, III the language of Webster, "is
not only serviceable to its friends, but
dangerous to its foes" To the Medium
perhaps it would be presumption to vol
unteer this unsolicited counsel, that in
seeking thus to monopolize that patron
age to which contemporary has an
equal claim, it is not seeking the most
effective way of engratiating itself with
the people, upon whose favor after all, a
newspaper must depend for its exist
ence. .

NXPERIENCE in the use of this
&A Guauo for the past six years in

far established its character for excel

ry. :,
In accordance with the established
policy of the Company to furnish the
best Concentrated Fertilizer at the low
est cost to consumers, this Guano is put
into market this season at the above
reduced price, which the Company is
enabled to do by reason of its large fa-
ci!ities ana the reduced cost of manu-
facture.
The supplies put into market this sea-
son are, as heretofore, prepared under
the personal superintendent of DR.. st.
Julian Ravenel, Chemist of the Compa-
ny, at Charleston, S. c., hence, planters
may rest assured thatits QUALITY and
COMPOSITION is precisely the same
as that heretofore sold. At the present
low price every acre planted can be fer
tilized with two hundred pound Guano
at cost not exceeding the present value
of 80 pounds of cotton, while experience
has shown that under favorable cOndi-
tions of season and cultivation the crop
is increased by the application from
two to threefold the natural capacity of
the soil. Hence, under no conditions
could its application fail to compensate
for the outlay. Apply to
