Are Manures stimulants /?

| MIR. EDITOR This subject, at first
view, is considered by many of very little
Importance, but I consider it one of the
greatest Importance. To understand the
effects of manures upon the different
crops which the farmer may cultivate,
enables him SO TO apply it, that he re-
ceives good results. Thousands of doll
lars. are annually lost the farmer by the
injudicious application Of fertilizers, or
in other words, ignorance of the proper
ties of manures. You. will hear ONE
farmer say that this fertilizer is best, and
another say that it is worthless; that it
burnt up his crop, and don't suit his soil,
etc. There is no fertilizer in market that
has not some to advocate and some to
condemn it. The reason Of this is ignu.
rance. "But," say you, chow are we to
arrive at this knowledge of manurcs 2"-
First: Find out the nature of the nature
of the plant you cultivate, that is its
time to germinate, to bloom, to fill out or
mature, and find cut the roots and their
direction and course in the soil, as we'll
rs their functions. The roots como in
contact with the fertilizers and absorb
them. Mr.. Editor, please let me digress
to advise the old Pcttifogger NOT to cut
them. He is perfect who created the
plant, and gave it ROOTS, and certainly
knows what the plant needs better than
the farmer. now return to the subject
proper-to prove that manures are stimu-
lants / promised to do this before
considered the difficulty of the task
The idea of manures being stimulants
got. into my Uranium per. se., and /
thought it was SO considered by all, until
1 noticed an extract in your columns of
a controversy between Dickson and
Pendleton. question if this question is
a questionable question.
You don't expect me to prove that
plants have nerves! One chilly night
will make considerable change in the
appearance Of plants and check their
growth. One handful of strong stable
manure applied to the corn ON the sur
face of the ground, with the aid of the
warm sun, will restore its color and
growth in n few hours. Now, sir, 1 think
it impossible for the plant to absorb and
digest this, as food. I am taking up too
much space in your columns. 1 will fur
nish the proof promised, in my next, suf-
ficicnt to convince all, except those that
have Dickson on tho brain or TEMPER
ANcE men, prcjudiccl against the word
STIMULATE.

Thoughts for the Month.
STIMULATE

y late spring, with drought and frost in
April, set back considerably the operations Of
the planter and will crowd into the present
month some work usually accomplished carller
Cotton is still comparatively small and tender
and must be worked with care. Where not yet
thinned to n stand, that operation should re-
ceivc early attention. No plant can have
greater enemy than another plant of the
same species. Each requires the same food
and the Struggle for life" between them is
unremitting. We must, rs soon as practicable,
reduce the number TO what may be considered
n proper "stand" for the soil. Mr. David
Dickson, of Sparta, Georgia, leaves two or three
stalks iu each hill, making, in his way Of plant
ing, an average of eight stalks TO the square
yard. Experience has taught hin that this Is
about the right number for his land Keep
the sweeps moving Shallow culture is the
true plan, but you may still run deep in the
middles with 'Hifcr," if the condition of the
soil should require it. On dry uplands, the
level systca, OF cultivation is far better than the
plan of high sharp ridges so generally adop-
ted. We believe this is not only sound in the.
ory, but has been demonstrated by experience
On fiat lands, especially if the season be wet
and the land not we'll drained, ii is necessary
to throw up ridges to prevent water from set
Ting about the roots.
TIE LAYING BY
OF the corn crop is an operation which
needs about as mucl. care and judgment
MS any part of the seasons work To make it
thorough and to leave the field clean, and yet
not iniurc the roots of tho growing crop, is
what must be aimed at To break the roots
now, when droughts are to he expected, or to
throw all the loose soil into steep ridges along
the row may prove fatal to the promising crop.
We should leave the ground mellow on the
surface but nearly level except where, as on
wet low lands, ridging or hiling is absolutely
necessary

The New TaxLaw.

Heretofore it has been the duty Of the cOlec-
tors Of the State, County and Poor taxes to call
on the tax payers in the city and VariOus Hun
dreds to pay the sums due for taxes. The law
enacted at the last session does not require the
collectors to call for the tax either in the city
The county. Tax payers art required TO call on
the collectors at their Offices and pay. The Col
lector arerequired to give notice, by posting bills
In varions places stating where they may be found
TO receive and receipt for taxes.
This has already been done by the collectors Of
this city and Mnl Creek and White Clay Creek
Hundreds, and We presume some by others. The
change in the law is of such an important charae-
ter that although we have published it frequently
in our advertisement columns, VIC deem this mo-
tlce Of this feature in it necessary, and would
urge our readers to call at once and cancel the
amounts standing against their names, on the
duplicate books now in hands Of the county col
lectors. The law applies to the collectors Of all
the hundreds in the State.

We had been speaking of the distinguished L.

HArdeman, of Georgia. After pause of some
moments he said, "the war had been a great mis-
fortune to them" brilliant future was before

but it Is not possible for either Of them to fill up
the hiatus caused by the war; but even were this
possible TO them, il would be of no avail to the

wny not have rwO Parks 2

In The discussion of the report Of the Park
Committee on Thursday night, Il was said by M.
Febigcr of the Ninth Ward, that the assessment
of property within the city in that Ward would
he increased from $500 an acre to 5000 an acre,
and that the increase Of the amount OF money re-
ceiVed from taxes there would pay hat the hrst
installment on the Park purchase.
II this proves correct aud satisfactory TO all
parties concerned, it will be rapid and easy ROAD
to wealth and prosperity; and the city might as
well make other purchases aud have two or three
parks Surely those whose property is lifted mp
from $500 an acre to 5000 ought not 70 COM
plain at the rapid way in which the city has ac-
cumulated money for them while those who
sell their land at 900 acre are sure Of being
well paid for it.
But who pays ell this money! II does not
come out of the soil Labor, which is said to be
the basis OF all wealth, must be called on to make
up this difference. Rents will have to be put up ;
and it will be doubtful whether those living in
the Ninth Ward will be able to meet the neces-
stics of these demands. If the land In that Ward
is raised in value by the purchase Of the Parks
from three thousand to Eve thousand can acre,
some persons have got to pay the difference. This
cannot be questioned. But before this land can
fairly be taxed .fUe thousand d9lldTS an acre, BY
the city, it should be sold for the amount. We
do not put the majority Of the Council In exactly
the position of the old lady who counted her
chickens before they were hatched :" but there is
evidently not q very wide difference.

From The .Augusta Co'lstitutionalist.

MEssas. EDITORS Please allow me, a
former student Of the University of South
Carolina, space.in the columns OF your
paper to express the deep regret not alone
of myself, but Of the whole community
and the students Of the University, on the
death of our once illustrious Professor, DR..
Macmillan LaBorde. The University of
South Carolina was once. thefnest insti-
tuition in this country. AS you glance
with retrospective eye over the cata-
logue of its students, you will find the
names of jursts, statesmen and WARRIORS
there was the nursery of their greatness
there was the arena OF their first struggles
for fame, the most distinguished orna-
ments Of the Bar and bench; the men
who have been prominent in the councils
of the nation. She has produced men
like illustrious Calhoun, Preston and other
noble sons of South Carolina; but the
University was what such men as DR.. La
Borde made her. Still both are now gone,
one by the hand Of men called by name
the rulers of the State, whilst the other
has been removed ffom our midst by the
will of our. Heavenly Father. No longer
will that silvery voice be heard IN the
lecture rooms, no longer will that sweet
smile cheer the boys" onward to their
duty. Just as long as there is student
of that University left the name of La.
Borde will be remembered, and the granite
pillar of that institution will be an ever
lasting monument to perpetuating the
memory of DR.. LaBorde And like the
responsibility Of the father using the last
opportunity to speak the words OF wisdom
to his childIen, he, as our beloved proles-
sor, has spoken them TO us, and we will
heed them as we ascend the ladder offame.
Suffice to say, fellow-students, DR.. La
Borde IS Dead" L.

A Negro Sent to the Pcnitentiary fer
Marrying a white Woman.

In South Carolina and Alabama ond
the other reconstructed States under the
rulings of Federal Judges, it is no offense
for white and blacks 10 marry. If we are
not mistaken such case has been adju-
dicated in Alabama, and the negroes and
white skins can marry without let or hin.

thing works, III at least some Of the So
called loyal States. In Indiana such mar
riagcs are illegal, and there is now u ne
gro man undergoing Imprisonment in the
Penitcntiary, for marrylnga white woman.
The Courier Journal, in which we find
the item, has this to say about the case:
On the 81 day OF May. 1873, a negr,
named Nicholas Kiger, living in Clark
county, indiana, married a woman Of the
same county, and State, named Mary Will
liams. The Supreme CoRt of the State
of Indiana decided last winter that the
fourteenth amendment can not be constru-
ed to imply or grant the right of inter
marriage Of negroes with whites. Kiger
was accordingly indicted for the crime Of
intermarriage with white woman. and
was tried for the ofIcnse on the 7th day Of
last August, before Hon. Cyrus L. Dun
ham, Judge Of the Clark County Orlml-
nal Court, at Charlestown. The defen-
dant pleaded guilty to the charge in the
indictment, and the court has assessed his
punishment, at one years confinement IN
the State prison and fine Of 81, 1000.
James Il. Marsh was prosecuting attor--
ney in this highly colored case of miscege.
nation. 1t is to be regretted that the law
prohibiting these marriages of amalgama-
ton does not provide for the punishment
of both the woman and the man. The
law might also be rendered more effective
if it was framed SO as to reach the minis
ters OF. other persons who solmenize the
rites of marriage between the "high con-
txsctinu narties"

T-t
Mr.. Timothy Hurley-who has lately
risen to cminence by his. persistent op-
position to the administration in South
Carolina, as he was formerly distin-
guished for his many acts of corruption
and dishoncsty-seems (says the Chroni-
ctc e iScutinei) to have made sensation
by his recent onslaught upon the Su-
preme Court. The redoutahle Tim round
ly charged that the Chief Justice&Rnd an
Associate Justice of the Court received
twenty-five thousand dollars for the de-
cision rendered in the bond case, and
that tho colored portion OF the bench was
made to give its opinion gratis. The
Judges have called upon Hurley for
retraction, or for the proof, and the in
ference is that if he refuses to give either
the one or the other, he will hear some
thing to his disadvantage. In the event
that Tim declines acceding to either of
these reasonable requests, weare curious
to know what course the learned Judges
will pursue in the premises Occupying
the position they Go they canhardly send
him challenge to mortal combat, nor
can they obtain satisfaction by an assault
and battery upon the person of the ira
duccr. Perhaps they will discard botL
of these remedies as impracticable and,
instead. perform that mysterious cere-
mony of branding" which so often
