The Savannah Mers says

The opposition of the farmers and
planters Of this State to the advanced
price demanded = tho dealers In
fertilizers appears to be on the increase,
anu they 5ooin determined not 10 pay the
amount asked. A letter from well
| known fertilizer manufacturer has been
| shown us, which solves the whole uues-
| ton.
1t says: eve are offering high grade
fertilizer here 1.-THE place fmanufacture)
at eighteen dollars per ton cash, bnt your
planters prefer to pay double that price
on the ruinous plan of buying on time
for cotton.
The cash system is the ono by which
our farmers can save money, and we see
no reason, therefore, why they can not
make arrangements to avail themselves
OF the advantages which are here afford
ed them.
If the Ne,cs will give the nnrae of this
manufacturer, aud he will do little adj
vertising that the people may know where
to find high grade fertilizer at eighteen
dollars per ton. there will bo no moro
trouble about the guano problem, but
there can hardly be anything in tho state
ment OF this manufacturer. Fertilizers
are sold here for forty dollars per ton
cash, and the manufacturers assert that
they could not sell even at thirty dollars.
We would be obliged if the Ne,us can
put us on track of the manufacturer re-
ferred to, that we may be able to inform
Our planters where they can save over
over fifty per cent. in the purchase Of
their mannrea WE. however. aeraa
with the manufacturer that the cotton
option plan of buying fertilizers is inju-
rious to the farmer, for it places his first
cotton at the disposal of the .nanufactu-
rer, and requires largo margin for the
decline of cotton without any chance of
che farmer reaping benefit from tho
advance; unless it reaches fifteen cents
per pound. In our opinion, it would
pay tho farmers to borrow money from
the Bank to pay cash for their guanos,
even at forty dollars per ton, if the cot
ton option price is fixed at forty dollars.
A simple calculation will show this to be
the case If cotton should go over nine.
cents per pound, which it is sure to do
at some time before tho first Of January.
For instance, shy tho money is used from
April 1st to January 1st-nino monthe-
the interest would be $9.7N. making the
ton of fertilizer cost $4S.70; but the
price of n 900 pound bale of cotton at 8
cents would be $500, while If it should
60 to ten cents, ss it frequently does, the
price would be 5000, 90 that the farmer
could save from enc 10 six dollars per
ton on his guano by this course. Or, by

LAST OF THE SEMINoLEs.-John, an
Indian man, was killed here on last E..,-
urday by Henry Emery, negro youth.
John was q good d-humored, harmless .el-
low, and for years had been spending the
winter months in this county. HisIcamp
for this season is on DIR. Porter's farm,
and he came in on the day Of his death,
leaving his squaw at camp. In drunk
en- dance he trod upon the toe Of Henry
f., who threatened to stab him if he did
it again-a threat he summarily executed
upon repetition of the offence, plum
ging knife into his breast several times.
The poor red man refused to have his
wounds attended to, started back to IS
camp, and was found dead next NOR
ming just out Of the corporate limits, and
it is said he could have been traced from
where he was found by the blood. The
negro was jailed without bcneiis of bail.

from $3.50 to $3.50 per ton. Then,
again, by ten or twenty neighbors com.
bining they could doubtless secure better
terms for large amount of fertilizer
than is given to the single purchaser; so
that by proper management we have no
doubt our farmers who are able to do so
could save from five to ten dollars per
ton by paying cash for their fertilizers,
even if they have TO borrow the money
from bank. We throw out this sugges-
ton and calculation that any who feel
inclined to do so may consider it and act
as their judgment dictates.

thrown into the yard, when it was very

We do not know the name of this cores.
pondent, nor tho particular evil of which
he complains. but we do know that his
remarks are worthy of consideration and
adoption. The public sentiment of
South Carolina should be brought to

respondent says:

from these facts. If it was true. then it
would always prevail. Secondly, if it
was true, then it would assuredly be for
the beat. Apply these tests, and it fails
most signally. In the first place it does
not prevail. We are painfully convinced
of this when we know that there are ap.
pointees in Office In our county that have
been placed there against the popular
voice of those most interested, and the
appointing and confirming power knew it
to be go when it was done. Our repro;

There has been great deal of interest
folt by politicians recently us to the re-
| suit OF tho census of the United States
which is to be taken in 1880, in view of
the fact that future representation in
Congress will be based upon it, and
therefore, to large extent, it will affect
the electoral college for President and
Vice P.esdcnt. The Philadelphia
Times, one of the ablest 'and most saga
cions journals of the day, figures the
probable result for members Of Congress
out rs follows: eleven States-Colo-
RADIO, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida,
Loui,i.na, Maine, Nevada, New Hamp.
shire, Rhode Island, South Carolina and
Vermont-get no increase. The largest
relative increase appears in Kansas,
whose delegation will be increased to
seven, it being three; California in
creases from four to seven, and Texas
adds four to the six already given her.
Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland,
Massachusetts,, Mississippi, New Jersey,
Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia an! West
Virginia gain ono each; Arkansas end
Nebraska gain two each; Indiana and
Minnesota will have each three addi-
tional; Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Mis-
souri,, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wiscon-
sin get al increase of four each, while
New York's delegation is augmented by
five by geographical divisions, the
New England States gaintone member,
the Middle States ten, the Western
thirty-two, the Southern nineteen and
the Pacific States four, or an aggregate
of forty-seven to the North and nineteen
to the South" While this is SO, the
Democratic States gain thilty-one, the
Republican etatcs twenty seven, and the
State of California, equally divided at
present, not yet decided upon which side
to be placed. The new apportionment
will not seriously affect tho standing of
political parties, and, if any change is
made, it is likely to benefit the Demo
c-ats. The country cen survive it at any
rate.

The Augusta Chronicle and Conss;tu-
honalst, speaks of the reasons which
resulted in the defeat of Col. Thompson,
the gifted and patriotic editor of the
Savannah NcDs, for representative in
Congress to fill the unexpired term occa-
stoned by the death Of Hon. Julian Har-
fridge. Tho reasons assigned by the
LOnsfHuiionaiisi arc no doubt correct. foT
the editor who dares stand up in the de-
fence of right for series of years is
sure, i he be any account, to make hun
dreds of enemies, who have at some time
wished to pursue course which it be-
came his duty to attack. Our Georgia
contemporary says:
Perhaps the fact that he had been
the editor Of leading journal for SO long
time had good deal to do with Col.
ThOmpson's defeat. Journalists are com.
PEELED to express their opinions in print.
and it is safe to say no other class of men
make SO many enemies. Others give
their views in private conversation and
to limited audience. The Journalist
speaks to the world about him, and no
one ever forgives ali atIront or injury in
print. The newspaper editor is forced to
deal with all the questions that present
themselves, and in every case he antago-
nlzes some interest or ofIends some indi-
vidual: Often he arouscs enmity where
he had no intention to do so, and little
paragraph written from the best of mo-
tives will hit some one and rankle in his
breast for lifetime. 1t is principally
because of these things that 80 few jour
naiists have been successful politicians.
1t is true that there are now in high po-
sitlons many men who were once journal
lists, but it is equally true that nearly all
OF them ceased TO be editors before they
attained distinction in politics."

Our correspondent, "T. ii. r." thinks
the Legislature made mistake in re-
ducing the pay Of Trial Justices in this
County, and gives very good reasons for
his position, if it were not that the num-
Der Of Trial Justices has been increased,
and hence n Trial Justice ought not to
receive as much compensation 70, attend
ing 10 the criminal business Of one town
ship rs for two or three. a portion Of
the delegation favored increasing the
number Of Trial Justices, while another
portion vas unwilling to increase the
expense TO the County, and hence the re-
duction WAS effected. AS to the pro-
priety Of increasing the number of these
officers there may be some difference of
opinion, but there will be very few who
would contend for the increase Of the
salaries to the amount which was former
ly paid each officer when he had double
the amount Of criminal business which
ho now has. The fees of Trial Justices
in civil cases are not affected by the new
law. They are allowed salary for GRIM
inal business, and get their perquisites
besides in civil cases. The best evidence
that the present compensation is sufii-
cient is found in the fnct that there has
been n numbcr of competent and suitable
applicants in each township. The COM
pensation is nmall, but then the service
should be restored to its position Of honor
which made the best men IN the country

turer, who came down to Columbia few
weeks ago to prospect on the propriety of
establishing manufactures, has decided
to locate large factory for the manufac-
ture Of cotton and WOODEN bJes suitable
for the Southern market. The necessary
papers have been drawn, nnd the con-

are principally operated by hand, and

South Carolina penitentiary, and worked
by one hundred conviuts who have teen
hired for that purpose. We are glad to
welcome Mr. Terry to South Carolina as

men. which is likely to flow rapidly into
our State for the next two years. Mr.
Terry was in South Carolina at the time
the fertilizer discussion was ut its height,
but hns too much sense 20 be frightened
off by the pretended dangers to manu-
facturers which the Neus and Courier has
been SO industriously circulating through
out the country. Mr. Terry will make a
practical experiment in'manufacturing at
the South, and il successful will do much
to induce the location Of factories at CO.

ment Of the great canal, from the COM
plction Of which such grand results will
