A PAT REPLY.

The warmth Of the true Irish heart and
the quickness Of the true Irish tongue are
proverbnl, and feeble must be the cry of
distress or brilliant the wit that does not
solicit sympathetic response from the gem
une son or daughter of the Emerald Isle
Not very long ago, little boy whose par
ents died, was sent to the orphan asylum,
but the place was so dstasteful to him that
he ran away and went back to his own
neighborhood. Living in the vicinity was
an old Irish woman, whom we will call
Kate, and poor though she was, with large
family, she took the orphan in and cared
for him as her own. The other day she
was in the city making some purchases, and
in one of the stores, a gentleman who was
conversant with thu facts of the case, inquir-
ed after the boy.
"oh, an he'sN foine boy sir, an glad ]
am to have him with me-"
"Well, well, Kate, If there is a heaven
in the next world you will get to it,"
And quick as lightning came the reply
with all the heartiness of the race: "God
bless ye, Mr. P, an sure if I do, III
| lave the gate open for YOU"

Garden Fertilizers.

II had the choice Of one fertilizer only
should select some genuine guano, and if
my garden soil were heavy. / should require
nothing TO mix with it; but if light and hot
in its nature should covet some common
salt. Gunno alone, or mixed with one-third
Of salt for dry soils, and spread over the sur
face during damp weather at the rate Of,
say, two ounces per square yard, will in
crease the value Of any crop to which it is
applied. To destroy slugs, half the quanti-
ty, or less in dry weather will be found
beneficial. Super phosphate of lime is safe
and valuable fertilizer, and is suitable for
sprinkling among Seeding crops of flowers
and vegetables which guano might niure.
These two mixed together are excellent for
potatoes, being quick in their action and
lasting in their effects.
But the most prompt of all fertilizers is
nitrate Of soda. 1t will, If spread at the
rate of two hundred.pounds per acre, change
the appearance of grass or wheat crop in a
few days, as it will any garden crop, especi-
ally Of the Brassca family; it is valuable
stimulant for early cabbagcs and cauIifower
also for celery, lettuce, etc, half an ounce or
less TO the square yard is sufficient for these
crops. So it is real gardeners friend if he
is not afraid of using it. 1t consists offine-
lydeveloped charcoal, and contains salts of
ammonia. It must not be mixed with quick
like, or those salts will become decomposed,
but it may be mixed with a small quantity
OF salt with advantage for dry soils. know
Of no crops to which a liberal dressing is APP
piled that are not benefited thereby. It is
excellent for onions. Salt is very useful for
dry soils on account of its great affinity for
moisture. The soil of asparagus beds where
1t has been used freely are often cool and
moist in Summer when the surrounding
ground is hot and dry--eyen dusty. If
gardener has at his command any or all of
the fertilizers named, and uses them judici-
ously, he will not only be able to increase
the productivcness of the gardens in his
charge, but will not require such large sup
plies of stable manure as would otherwise
necessary to sustain the fertility Of heavi-
ly cropped ground. An important advan-
tage in the case Of guono and SCOT is their
value for making liquid manure of the best
quality.-l Journal Of Horticulture.

The phosphate Fight.

For $cmc time past the Press ofthc
the State has hcen combating rather
ferae!y,the I~h.sph"te Companies in
,Mfir.: alleged "combination mono
Bqly.". to .Eeepup lie prices. Of their
sFeftiiiztfs while cotton and every
thing else has. gone down so low.
These comranicSKavc ut last needed
tie clamol and made an explan" ton.
They claim that they have reduced
the price Of their phosphates 81 on
,:the ton: That it is true that they
claim 500. lbs. Of cotton now instead
of'46Rl lbs. as Hast year Cor a ton Of the
fertilizer; But that. fnrmers forget
that the reason ofllis is hat cotton
is lower. now and it takes more of it
TO pay. for the fertilizer. That the
farmer has all the chances Of gain +.
as he has the option at the end o.: the
year Of paying for his fertilizer i'll
money if cottolr is high and thus
making his profits, or Of paying for it
in cotton, ifcottonl is low, and thu,
saving the loss;while they are obliged
if cotton only brInos .e'' i
..~e only 500 lbs. for the
80. OF fertilizer and thus bear n
heavy loss.
This statement looks plausible and
may lie correct, especially in refer
ence &c she "%cotton or!ion," but VIC
think that the money price Of the
fertilizer is too high. With bacon
reduced to 3 to IS cts, per h., coffee
TO 123 cts, cora to 40 cts. per bushel
and peas to so cts, and all other pro-
visions in proportion, why should our
cen n:ercial fertilizers keep up to $40
apd.s50 per ton?
1t should be remembered that
combination on one side will lcget
condition on tle,Ihcr and somebody
might get hurt in tie fight. Let the
price of the fertilizer be put doMn to
the lowest figure possible.

tcnde ncy to make it 50 will result in
ruin. The South cannot elect u
President alone. Ifthcreforc we ali
enate our Northern allies we con
sign ourselves to the certainty Of all
the horrors Of Grantism.
BY wisdom, concession and unity in
the last National Democratic Con.
vention which nominated Til len, we
carried four Northern States and, al
though cheated out OF it, elected our
candidate.
Why abandon this policy ?Docs any
Southern a%spirant crave the cmolu,
mcnts OF the Presidential berth :?
Can we afford to allow such paltry
considerations Of private gain, or in
vividual ambition to stand in the Il
of the establishment Of constitutional
liberty?
We trow not. Let who may, en-.
joy these l%ionors; but give us, as a
people, the material blessings Of free
government and equal rights.
In iurlhcrancc OF this object let II:

man whose name and character vii
be a living denial OF every charge Of
scctionalism, and will restore the
party to its true national reputation.

The Outlook FOR 1880.

To win in 1880 will require all the
,%.saeacity,. ~forbcarance and unity that
the Democrats can muster.
Republicans leaders of the Blaine
school have long seen that the keep.
ing alive Of sectional animositic. an
the preventing Of any friendly alii-
anccs between the North and South
is the only hope CT their party.
On this chord they are playing
with marvellous success With
IhHr; saical hypocrisy they pirate
about peace. but they don't want the
war ever to end, because, with the
establishment Of true harmony an
good feeling between the sections,
com5s'thc downfall oflhcir dominion.
Their battle cry is "a solid North"
against "a solid South" and every
straw is used for its vcriiication.
Although possessed of neither
brains nor character, that child of for
tune, Ulysses. Grant, is taken up rs
the most effective embodiment Of this
war-like sentiment, and as the racoy.
nized leader of the Northern armies,
is expected to solidily the North.
Evey thing points to him just now
ms the standard-b bearer of the Repubi-
cans in the coming Presidential con
test.
Under: these circumstances what
should be the Democratic tactics /?
In our opinion n continuation of
that spirit Of moderation and broa d
craftsmanship which will break down
the charge Of sectionaIism on the part
of the South, and show that if the
South is solid, it is solid for consti tu-
tional liberty and not for sec tional
ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
In this connection we regret to see
the quarrcls which are going on be-
tween Northern and Southern Demo-
Gratis in Congress which are giving so
much encouragement to our political
opponents.
Democratic principles are broad
and national and not section al. AS
n proof of this We o.,ly have to refer
to the war, which while it arraycd
the sections against each other, the
Democratic party was rs broad as the
nation, and was found on both sides.

Election in BranchviIIe-A

BRANcnvILLE, S. G. Feb. i, 1879.
Ed C'""ycbwy Times:
Quite an exciting election was
held here yesterday for Intendant
and Wardens. The Hon. w. II.
Rccdish was urged for the first posi-
ton by y number of his friends, but
declined to enter the field, as the
color question vas q part of the on.
test, which he deprecated with many
other good citizens.
Mr.. John G.. Reeves hca ded the
ID emocratic and Mr.. Il. Il. II. Smoak
the Republican ticket The fight
was a very warm one indeed, a num-
Der Of whites aheving openly
espoused Smoak's siM, At The close
of the poll there we,s ome fifty odd
votes in the xG ctcss of the poll
list, which w%crcfiraw 1lt according
to law. This Zone. 6 election was
declared by the nhnayers. Mr..
Reeves and his ticket got in by a
handsome majority. A notice Of
protest, however, was served upon
tho board of managers, and Il Judi
cial investigation may be the out
come of this days work
No one knows hw the excess of
votes got into the BIZ, and certain it
is, that all law-abiiilg citizens de-
plore such exhi,its~S of disregard
for the purity of ourelective system.
Where it will end, nLone knows. 1t
is an fugus growth which has taken
root in our body polite, and may yet
prove "a very Upastrea to our civil
iization unless frowndl down and dis
countennnced by honorable msn. a

is no paliation 5SSeuso for total
abandonment Of or,s's self to wrong

to any individual or party. The
evil seems to be general IN it. nature.
and the caustic should be applied

took place between Mr.. A. +. II.

which the former was shot twice in
