this reason, among many others, the Mustang
Liniment should find place in the cupboard

ingenuity can suggest has failed to afford relief
in rheumatism, neuralgia, sore throat, glandu-

The Baltimore american says company
has been formed in that city to work mine of
photographic stone in Rockbridge county, Va,
and will, within & fortnight, throw open their
project 10 the public. The only other mine of
this kind known IN the world is in Bavaria,
and the reason given for the recent advance of
the price of lithographic stone is that the Bs-
varian mine is giving out. Some idea of the
importance OF this Rockbridge county mine
may be had from the fact that small litho-
Bound, and the price of larger pieces increase
in geometrical proportion, but thousands of
tons of larger size stones of uniform and very
superior quality can be got from the Virginia
mine.

For tile Anderson nteziaencsr.

Mr.. EDITOR: Complying with your request,
herewith hand you statement of my mode
of cultivation and success on my place. At
the outset will state that I had eleven acres
under cultivation, q halfacre of which was
rendered unproductive by shade trees. Three
acres of this land were in wheat last year, four
in oats and four in cotton. The stubble land
was turned over with a one-horse steel twister
in October or November; all the lots were
bedded up in March. I commenced planting
on the 18th of April and used about 300 tbs
Soluble Pacific Guano per acre on four acres:
about 300 Tbs Carolina Fertilizer per acre on
four acres; and on three acres, 600 TBS of a
compost of cotton seed and Compound Acid
Phosphate per acre. This compost is equiva-
lent to half its weight of Soluble Pacific Guano
or Carolina Fertilizer. Above you will perceive
that l have not given the precise amount of
fertilizer used per acre; this is because I fused
broken and unsaleable sacks, and couldn't ar
rive at the exact amount. Now, as to the re-
suit: Off of this ten and half acres made
twelve (12) bales of cotton, weighing, upon an
average, 492 TBS per bale. Below you have a
calculation that have made, which will show
the net profit on my crop of cotton:
12 bales cotton, 492-59O4, at 17cts.. 81 ,OO3.SS
800 bushel cotton seed at 25cts.......... 5000
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1872-12-05

Profit. ............................$ 595.35
I would add that seven acres of this land is
on hillside facing the east, five acres of which
is very thin. -Four acres more lie facing to the
west, is very old land, and about three acres of
it very thin. My horse has worked other lots
and my garden, besides doing various jobs of
hauling, &c.
ALLOW me to add that applied the fertilizer
by bedding on 200 lbs per acre, and putting in
100 Tbs per acre with the seed. cultivated it
the first time by running around with gopher
pillow and breaking out the middles with
shovel plow; after this used nothing but the
sweep. Respectfully yours,
w. S. SHARPE.
PSI have had great deal of fun making
this crop, which I have not been able to esti-
mate, therefore have not placed it to credit.

THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. 8, 1872:

PERsoNA1.-The editor of the Anderson In
trlzioencer Mr.. James A. Hoyt met with an
accident two weeks ago, which caused painful
injuries to his left ankle and foot, and has kept
him confined to hrs home until within the ias1
few days. He is now able to walk upon crutch-
es and hopes to dispense with at least one OF
these uncomfortable appendages shortly. his
absence from the customary avenues OF trade
and business has possibly resulted in some
;tems of local interest being neglected, and this
notice is made for the purpose of explanation.

The stocks of goods were principally saved, and

The Way to Succeed.

Fortune, success, fame, position
are never gained, but BY piously, de-
terminedly, bravely sticking living
to a thing till it is fairly accom-
plished. In short you must carry a
thing through ifyou want to be any
body or anything. No matter if it
does cost you the pleasure, the soci-
ETY., the thousand pearly gratiGea-
tions of life. No matter for these.
Stick to the thing and carry it
through. Believe you were made
for the matter, and that no one else
can 90 it. Put forth your whole
energies. Be awake, clectrify your
self; go forth to the task. Only
once learn to carry a thing through
in all its completeness and proper
tion, and you viii become a hero
You will think better of yourself:
others will think better of you. The
world in its own heart admires the
stern determined doer. 1t sees in
him its best sight, its brightest OBJ
ject, its richest treasure. Drive
right along, then, in whatever you
undertake. Consider yourself amply
sufficient for the deed. You'll be
success Sful.

A Suggestion.


A friend Of ours, says the Athens
Post complains that there is a want
of uniformity among our business
men in their dinner hours, and peo-
pie from the country are often com
PEELED to wait an hour or so, 10 at
tend to business which could be dis
patched in few minutes if every
man was in hisstore or Office instead
Of being at home.
To remedy this our friend sug-
gests that the whole town adopt
the custom Of dining at four o clock
Let the business hours of the day be
from 8 a. m. to p. M, and more
work will be done, more business
transacted more leisure obtained,
and better order and system prevail
in Affairs both domestic and pull
lie.
1t would be a good idea if the
Presidents of our schools could so
regulate their recitations as to con
form to this rule.
It win suit the ladies admirably
by giving them some leisure for cal
ling on their friends, and they won't
be afraiu Of running in at the dim
ner hour, calls should be made from
10 to 3 o clock.
Let the system be adopted by ey-
cry family-the suggestion is q good
one, and viii economic time and
labor.

Building eharaeter.

There is structure which every
one is building for himself 1t is
called character, and in every. act of
life is a stone. If day by day we be
careful to bHild 0ur lives with pure
noble, and upright deeds, at the end
will stand fair temple, honored by
God and man. Bat, as one leak will
sink ship, and one flaw break a
chain, 50 one mean, dishonorable,
untruthful act or word will forever
leave its impress aud work its inau-
enee on our character. Then let
the several deeds unite to form
day, and one by one the
days grow into noble years, and the
years as they slowly pass, will raise
at last beautiful edifee, enduring
forever our praise.
