DEAR SIRs: In reply to yours of the 2Sth would
say that too much cannot be said in favor of your
Bone Meal, which we have been using some time.
We have tried nearly every brand of fertilizer
known to the American farmer, but never have
found anything to equal your Bone Meal. One ton
of your Bone Meal is worth two of the ordinary
dried Buffalo Bone.
If should go on and state the numerous instances
in which the Bone Meal has proved itself superior
and cheaper than any other fertilizer it would take
more time than have at my command, but will
give you two instances in which TO show you what
it did and we have it to be seen.
Last fall we ploughed up 80 acres of land that Mr..
Fullerton bought for $500 per acre of parties who
were starving death account of the poverty of
the land; well, it would not under their manage
ment with the use of 200 pounds of phosphate, pro-
duce more than % bushels of wheat per acre
Yet to day it stands with clover and orchard grass
6 to inches high with the of 800 pounds of your
Bone Meal, seeded down in March, 1885, and the
season being very unfavorabl on account of dry
weather
Also on our corn field of this year where we had
corn four years ago and used 400 pounds of Mapes
Phosphate, had very inferior crop of corn, with
plenty of rain and season very favorable, while
with 400 pounds of your Bones, with a very dry and
unfavorable season, the prospect is we shall double
the CROP and these only two of the many proofs
that 1 could state of the difference between manip
ulated stuff that is on the market and the purity
and value of your Bone Meal. have small farm
of my own here, and don't intend using anything
else but your Bone Meal. Yours truly,

Correspondence of the Democratic Advocated
BErnANY, n. G., August q, 1885.

BETHANY, n c., August "a, 1885.
EDIToRs OF THE ADVOCATE Il wonder if
the numerous readers of the ADVOCATE would
appreciate few lines written by your cores
pondent, who has taken up his sojourn for
short time in the ''Sunny South ~ l wrote
from this place three years ago. At that time
] saw nothing that was likely to induce immi-
grafton to this state; but there has been snch
decided change for the better that l don't
see why the lands now lying idle should not
soon be occupied by industrious and enter
prising men from the crowded communities
North and from Europe. North Carolina
evidently is making rapid advancement in
every line of thought and endeavor; every
where signs of improvement are visible. In
dustries hitherto unknown by this people are
springing up at all points. The improve
ments in agriculture are noteworthy. The
corn, cotton and tobacco crops are very fine,
and the acreage in tobacco is much larger
this year than ever before. The prospect for
good prices is fattering, and some have al
ready sold their crops in the field at 500 per
acre; others have refused to sell, confident
that they can realize much higher prices by
bringing their tobacco regularly into the
market. The bright gold leaf has been sold
here for 81. So and even for $500 per pound,
and what is more encouraging, tobacco will
grow finely on lands that wont produce crop
Of corn. Corn is now suffering for rain, but
the drouth has not hurt tobacco particle.
Permit me to enclose to you small sample
of the magic bright stuff, just cured, for your
inspection. Respectfully, Z. A. Long.

"Independents."


'sTl,a Independents are on the war path, !"
says apolitical article in the Baltimore Sun
of recent date. We hope the announce
ment is true. We want to see all the pro-
fessed reformers, Independents, the disap-
pointed, and political cranks in general, come
to the front this year and show their strength
and influence. The Democratic party is get
ting tired of them and their talk. Processing
to be Democrats, they stand aloof from pri-
maries and conventions, and then complain
of machine-work, &c. There can be no ma
chine work, no states carried out, if Demo
Gratis discharge their duty to themselves, their
city, county, state, and to their party, except
that the machine puts forward good men, and
the managers are influential enough to carry
their plans through. If Democrats will turn
out to primary meetings and elections, be
vigilant that they are conducted fairly, and do
the same at conventions, there can be no
trouble. If people do not do this, and nomi-
nations are not as good as they might be, they
have only themselves to blame. Neither
ought they to rebel at the conclusions reached
by those who do participate in party meetings.
The Independents that are on the 'war-
path in Baltimore, we suspect, are the men
who want to be prominent, but are not, simply
because they have no influence and are not
entitled to command any. There are many
of them there, some prominent in business
circles, but not possessed of as much practical
sense on political matters as a twelye-year-
old boy ought to have. Some have been
office holders, and have rebelled as soon as
the party thought there ought to be a change;
others are chronic office seekers-the Demo
Gratis for revenue, not from principle Others
are good men misled by the croakings and
Misrepresentation of the others.
Thisis year when the party can stand the
assaults of these people. Let them come in
the field, aided by that captious and carping
association, The Civil Service Reform Asso-
citation. and do their best. The regulars, the
Democrats from principle, who are always
willing to be governed by the will of the ma
jority, are ready this year to put that class down
wherever they show themselves. They will
gladly demonstrate at the polls how little their
influence is. This is the year for indepen-
dents. Let them show themselves, not only
in Baltimore, but everywhere. The Demo-
cratic party was never in better trim to fight
them, and good setting down will be Of
advantage both to the party and these would
be prominent men.

Malone is not only confronted by united
Democratic party in Virginia, but his own
forces are not as solid as in former years.
1t is likely that a straight-out Republican
ticket may be put in the field. Gen. William
G. Wickham, one of the most prominent Re-
puhlicans in the state, is supporting Fitz Lee.
Wickham has always been opposed to Malone,
and in the last Virginia Senate acted with the
Democrats in every measure calculated to
cast out Mahoneism. Malone has captured
the Republican machine, but not all the Re
publican voters; and thousands Of Democrats
who acted with him in an effort to adjust the
state debt, refuse to go over to the Republican
party with him.

most important for many years. For the first

Democratic party is ii power in the govern

ton has been in office but short time, it will
be on trial to some extent, and great interest

Another Scandal.

From the Baltimore american.
The disclosures of irregularities and extrav-
for very full investigation. That there have
been useless officials appointed and paid
heavy salaries without authority of law, seems
now to be too clear for denial A long list is
already published of favored persons who
drew salaries out of the fund ranging from
81, 200 per annum down. In addition to
these, there are Especial COUNSEL and sex
perts' appointed from time to time, and paid
special fees. In this way about 100000 per
year have been spent, and, as the court has
been running for about ten years, the irregu-
lar expenditures approach the dimensions of
a million of dollars-no inconsiderable part
of the whole Alabama award
