Serious Question.

Great loads of guano have been going out Of
town every day for two weeks. We take II
for granted that our farmers have thoroughly
tested or analysed their lands and know the
component parts of the alleged fertilizers
which they have bought. and are therefore
satisfied that they have bought that variety
of fertilizer which is rich in those qualities of
which they know their land to he poor. Fer
tilizerS, like medicines. may be very good
Is needed. or II one kind Of gnano Is bought
when another should be applied to the land,
there is q worse than waste Of money.
We know that farmers as practical anu as
intelligent as ours are would not think OF
buying fertilizers Of which they knew moth
ing To put in land Of which they know less.
The ignorant classes of our farmers may
have spent their money years ago for fertlllz.
crs OF which they knew nothing, but now
when the art of farming is being reduced 10 Il
science and whca the price OF cotton mas
been reduced to seven cents, with the eprospect
OF O fall OF one cent. we are sure that our peo-
pie will consider well what they are doing,
and will not in any case, buy guanos Oh
ruinouS credit.
OF course, in this day and time, the most
stand man that ever planted cotton seed
would not buy gunnO. without having an
idea what his land needed. Everybody
knows that stable and lot manures are per
feet tnanuteS and for this reason they Will IN
crease any crop 10 which they are applied.
Not so with commercial fertilizers. They
may abound with just such qualities as me
lasd Is surfeited with, and hence guanos are
liable to do harm.
Even If we were sure Of getting the gnano
we might need, the day has passed when we
can pay old time prices, with cotton at seven
cents.

Our Country Roads.

We clip and endorse the following from the
Atlanta Journal, as applicable TO Abbevile:
''Our country roads should be macadamized
from the city to the county line, and every In:
tersecting road also. Over good macadamiZed
roads our farmers, without regard to distance
or weather, could carry their wood, vegeta-
bles and other products to town, make their
purchases and return to their homes the same
day. In the present dilupidated and horrible
most>impossble to take an empty wagon &c
town, frequently breaking down even with
that. Travel is interrupted, trade is prevent
ed and all parties lose on account of impaSSa
ble roads. The farmer fails to sell his pro-
<luce, the stores keeper in town loses cEs
toner for his goods. There is all embargo on
lsuyng and selling, amounting to the loss q
an intelligent people suffer such wretched
condition Of affairs? Cannot they see tho
profit Of good roads, and the enormous loss o
had roads?

There exists in the shop window Of
naturalist in the east end Of England n
glass frame containing n carefully
mounted group thus composed In the
center of the frame small moth is pur-
sued by dragon-fly in the air above and
by trout in the water below; the drag
on. fly itself about 10 fall into the jaws
of swallow which in its turn is pursu-
cd by large bird Of prey, while the
trout is at the same moment about to
furnish meal to a hungry pike.
That very fairly illustrates the cana
balism of the insect world. Now let
some naturalist in America set his gen
ius to work on the genus homo. repre-
senting groupes of politicians in a red
hot campaign. 1t would require very
large space in very large amphitheatre

From this brief allegorical enumera-

that very large army of non-toilers and

THE SILVER CERTIFICATE.

j. Thompson, The President Of the Chase
National Bank, New York, has issued
circular in which he says:
The national banks are retiring their
currency quite rapidly, aud ii is fortunate
that silver circulating notes in email dc
nominations are being issued.
The elements Of confidence in this cur
rcncy are such that ii will be as uniform in
par value, and ns current everywhere ns
nre the giecnbacks aud national bank
noteS.
On the back Of every silver note is
plainly printed this legalized condition
This certificate is receivable for taxes,
customs and all public dues, and when 40
received may be re-issued."
They can be legally counted in national
bank reserves, aud no national bank can
he member OF any clearing house that re.
fuses these notes in the settlement OF deb
tor balances.
These conditions are such that the silver
notes will be as spopular, and as universally
current as greenbacks.
The financial bearings OF this issue OF
paper currency are:
Fird-It more than neutrallzes the effect
of the surrendering Of National bank
notes.
Second-It takes from the Treasury its
ownership Of some ninety millions OF SILVER
dollars, and substitutes an equal amount
of gold and greenback+, thus wnrding off
any danger of dropping from tho gold 10
the silver standard.
1hird-1t enables the treasury to call in
all the 8 per cent. bonds without the risk
OF having TO offer silver dollars in pay
ment.
FomM-It will work a gradual and de-
sirabe expansion.
EDM-It obliterates the necessity of
handling any metallic currency except
small change.
Samples OF the new currency are obtain
able at the Chase National Bank, l04

The Cincinnati Enquirer contains another
long article from Xenia concerning the
county commissioners, their letting Of
nearly nll contracts for iron bridges to the
Smith Bridge Co., of Toledo, the purchn'e
uf Sone IRON the quarry OF Boots & Beckett,
leased from III. ii. Conklin, one of the
commissioners, their mileage bills, &c.
We would have much more faith IN the
truth Of the reports il they were published
in some other paper, and SO would the
public. Certain men have been examin-
ilg the records of the proceedings of the
commissioners in search of mares nests
and this Is the egg hoiched out. There
has been great amount OF talk In town
and country concerning the fact that hardly
any company other than the Smith Bridge
Co. could secure bridge contracts in this
county, and the commissioners owe 1t TO
themselves and their constituents TO explain
their position clearly, show up clean hands
and put head on some OF these slanderers.
