Commercial Fertilizers.

We have seen the action Of the reprcscn-
tatives of the leading manufacturers OF
commercial fertilizers at their meeting re-
Gently held in the city Of Augusta, and un,
hesitatingly recommend our farmers gene
rally to pursue the course adopted by the
Associate Grange as reported in another
column. These manufacturers propose
ruising the amount of cotton required to
paw for their fertilizers from $50 to 500
pounds, and to require the consumers to
pay the frpishts on them in addition. They
also propose 10 reduce the price to be given
for cotton on the cotton option plan. This
is to be effected by combination of the
manufacturers, and it should be met by a
combination OH the part of the farmers.
1t does not cost Us much to manufacture
these fertilizers now as it did three years
ago, and yet they are endeavoring to make
il pay them the same or more. They have
the right to ask what they please, but the
consumer has the right to buy or not as he
pleascs and if there is general refusal on
the part of the fariner to pay these new de-
mands, the companies will recede from
them. Our people use too much bought
fertilizers anyway. 1t does not increase the
crop, taking all that is used, as much as it
costs in this County. The farmer can better
affsrd to run his crop for one year without
ary fertilizer than he can to show that he
is completely at the mercy of these corpo-
rations, and obliged to pay whatever they
ask. Not only the Grangers, but the farm
ers generally should decline to pay one par
ticle more for their guanos this seas on than
thew have done heretofore.

Superstition.

It is surprising that any sensible person
living IN civilized country should believe
in witchcraft Of any description, and yet
there are great many colored people who
firmly believe in what they term "cunju.
ring" But few nights ago one of their
regular break downs was held three or four
miles from town, and, as usual, difficulty
arose over the dancing, whereupon one of
the parties to the feud rushed up to the
other and rubbed his hand over his eyes,
which Immediately began to swell until
they were closed, and the party was for Il
time completely blind. This whole thing
is attributed t witchcraft, which the negro
who rubbed his hands over the others eyes
Is supposed to possess, whereas there is no
doubt that he had put some poison on his
hand which produced the result. If the
whole party were prosecuted in the Courts,
it would be apt to show the cause of the
swelling and to punish the party causing it.
Such pretences are only used by the
shrewder colored men to impose on the
foolish and credulous:

Mr.. EDITOR: Inasmuch as work is now
being done on the Court House steeple,
would it not be well for the County Com
missioners to consider the propriety of add
ing one more story to its height, and ol
changing the shape of its roof so as still
further to increase its height? This, it
s ems to me would greatly increase the arch
i.cctural beauty of the building, with but
slight increase of the cost Of the repairs
now being made. In addition to this, it
would very much diminish the size and
cost of the town clock it has been proposed
to erect in the steeple.
The s:ecple Of the Baptist Church build
ing i'll this place is decidedly handsome
one, and there is no doubt that very great
improvement can. be made in the one on
the Court House.
I throw out these suggestions for what
they may be worth, and hope they may re-
suit in effecting the change proposed, be-
cause it is q public building, and people
are always judged of by the taste they dis
play in such structures.

Death OF MIR. Thoma. R. she1or.

The Eeopee Courier announces the death
Of Mr.. Thomas R. Shelor, which occurred
at his residence, in Georgia, on the 3Oth Of
December last, after lingering illness at
an advanced age. and gives the following
notice Of the life OF this gentleman, who
was well known to many persons in this
County, who will regret to learn of his
death:
Mr.. Shelor was native of Virginia. He
removed to this State when young man,
and identified himself thoroughly with the
people of his adopted State. By, industry
and energy, he accumulated handsome
property, and reared most interesting
family. Some years ago, disgusted with
the political condition of the State. Mr..
Shelor removed to Georgia, where, notwith:
standing his advanced age, he commenced
to rebuild the fortune which had been SO
badly wrecked by the results of the war.
Mr.. Shelor was an honest man, and leaves
many friends here and in his new home to
mourn his loss.

Messrs. Arnstein & Rose.

Speaking of the Camden branch Of this
prosperous business firm, the Camden Jour
nal pays them the following highly compli-
mentary tribute:
While we deeply regret to bid farewell to
our former townsman and merchant, Mr.. II.
Baruch, and while we feel that the loss is
almost irreparable, and look upon it as o
cloud in our business circles, still we see q
very bright lining around it all in the per-
sons of his successors, the Messrs. S. A.
Arnstein g. Co. THIS firm is established in
this State as gentlemen of character, COM
potency, ability and honor, and are we'll
worthy of the commendati0n Of our whole
people. BY industry, integrity and worth
they have amassed large means, ard enter
ing npon their new field and home they
come with no closed fist, but amply ready
to do all that can be required of merchants.
They have bought for cash-they sell ac-
cordingly; and while we congratulate them
upon their bright future, we also tender to
our people cordial congratulation in hay
ing such men among them. Nature is al
ways generous, and succeeds one good plant
by another iu her wise diffusion.

The Court House s,eeple.

The communication on this subject,
which appears in this issue, is from q gen.
tleman whose opinion is valuable on any
subject which engages his attention, and
We think the suggestions made in it are e1-
cellent. An additional story to the steeple
would very greatly improve the looks not
only of the steeple but of the building it
self, and that too at a very tritiing cost. We
hope our County Commissioners will give
this matter favorable consideration, End
that the work recommended will be done at
an early day.
