Registers High Grade Acid
Phosphate. For Grain, &c.

These three brands we have sold,
and we confidently claim for them a
record second to none. We have
made strict inquiry of those who
bought of us as to their merits, and
the testimonials in every instance are
very fattering. We haven't had a
single complaint. Many farmers
say they used it, side by side with
other and higher cost grades, and
that it is as good as any and in many
instances better. We want no bet
ter record for it than it has been
made wherever used. Now ABOUT
PRICES: Our position is this: If
the farmer can increase the yield and
enhance the value of his products
by using Fertilizers, then the more
he uses the better it is for HIM and
for the merchant. Consequently
your interests and our interests
are identical, and anything we
can do to help you will behelping
ourselves, and it stands to reason
that the cheaper we sell to you
the more you can buy, hence the in
creased benefit to both of us is evil
dent. We claim, without fear of
honest contradiction, land we believe
our past record will bear us out in
the assertion) that we have shown
more willingness to do, and have
done more towards bringing down
the necessaries of the farmers than

A Matter of Justice.

A Matter OF Justice.
Week before last the following SEN
tence appeared in the letter Of our
Yadkin correspondent:
"Owing to the scarcity of plants the
tobacco crop will be very small one
throughout this section. The seed
sent out by the warehouses were no
account, and all thatsowed them are
using rather ugly words"
Lest it might be thought that the
warehousemen are to blame in this
matter or that our Yadkin cores
pondent intended it as slur on them
we deem it necessary to make some
explanation.
The warehousemen of this city
bought large quantity of see from
"A dealer of known reliability and dis
tributed them among the farmers
feeI If the seed have proved to be
bad, it is an accident and not the
fault of the warehousemen. They did
all they could to put good seed in the
hands of the farmers and those whose
seeds proved bad certainly have no
right to complain.
It is to the interest of the Winston
warehousemen for q large crop to be
made. Besides that, they are as
whole-souled, honest and reliable a
set of men as breathe the air up here
in Gods country.

Now, all we ask is little investi-
cation on your part to see if what
we say is not the truth. If it is,
are we not entitled to your con-
fidence? If not the truth, you owe
it to yourselves and your neighbors
to expose our fallacies. We claim
that we broug hit down the prices of
dealers in other brands of Fertilizers
this is fact which is evident to
most of you. Again, we claim that
we sold Fertilizers at much less
profit than any dealer here; and in
proof of this, we will refer you to
the Bulletin issued by the State
Board of Agriculture, giving the
analyses of the different brands of
Fertilizers sold in the State, and
their worth; and, and according to
this, we sold our goods at from $500
to $500 per ton less than other
goods sold here, having an analysis
lower than ours-thereby proving
conclusively that we sold at a much
less profit than other dealers. Well,
says one, there is no truth in the fig
ures given by the State Chemist.
That being the case, why do you
keep him employed at large salary7
But, we claim that his tests are
true basis upon which to judge of
the merits of the different Fertilizers,
and if it was not for him the State
would be flooded with worthless stuff

danger in that direction is about
over now, and while in some sections
plants are scarce there will be an av-

more. Farmers have taken advan-

Died In the saddle.

At the ranch Of William Dixon, the
we'll known COsumnes farmer, a singular
instance Of sudden death occurred. Mr..
Dixon's brother, Michael s, Dixon, set
ont on horseback to drive up some cat
to. He had been sufferer from heart
diGease, and his brother tried to dissuade
him from going, but rs he insisted on
going 1t was deemed best to have his
nephew accompany him.
Alvin Plummer, overseer OF tho road
district that embraces that locality, was
coming to the city TO transact some bust
ness with the board Of supervisors, and
saw the men driving cattle in tho field
near the road. Presently he noticed the
elder Dixon rein mp his horse, lean for
ward over the pommel of his saddle and
remain in that position, the horse mean
while standing quito still.
Mr.. Plummer thought that something
was wrong with the man, but concluded
that he had attack Of bleeding at the
nose. Young Dixon rode up and spoke
to his uncle, who did not move, and
then rode huriiedly to the lane and in
formed Mr.. Plummer that he believed
his uncle was dead.
Mr.. Plummer drove into the field and
over to where the horse and his immov-
able rider were, and found that Mr..
Dixon was really dead. He assisted the
young man in lifting the body from the
horse and placing it in the buggy, and
then drove back with it to the Dixon
ranch. Record-Union.
