FARMERS
FERTILIZER BULLETIN.
The Farmers Fertilizer Company of Car
roll county is not a misnamed corporation.
1t is an organization for the benefit of the
Farmer and no one else; whatever profit may
occur in an economical administration Of its
business, after payment of expenses. goes to
the purchaser Of its goods. That is one of
the reasons why, after several years of trial,
it is able to say in 1891 that, Notwithstanding
the advance in prices of certain material,
unlike other firms, there will be
No Advance in Prices of Its
Goods.
A careful observation of the market will en-
able one to purchase in advance of rise, and
that is ANOTHER REASON why the Farm.
ers' Fertilizer Company is able to
UNDERsELL THE INCAUTIoUS.
Grade for grade on certain leading brands of
any house or firm in Carroll county, its goods
are from $4 to So per ton cheaper; and this is
confirmed by the analysis made by the State
chemist of Maryland as per report of Febru-
airy, 1891. That kind of testimony is unen
swerable.
DON'T BE MISLED.
The announcement that extraordinary results
have been obtained from isolated fields from
certain literally advertised brands offertilizer
is intended for the unwary. The best test of
the virtues of any fertilizer is the result per
acre from an entire farm. These same ferti-
lizers, doomed into prominence, have been
known this year on a full farm test to pro-
duce but from 184 to 81 bushels per acre; not
so in any instance, yet learned, has this been
the case with our goods. From % to A
bushels per acre have been the result when
the Farmers Fertilizer Material has been
used. We employ no agent, we sell nothing
but absolutely
PURE MATERIAL.
We buy our goods before an advance in
prices, we exercise the strictest economy in
the management, and we therefore assert,
now as heretofore, that if you want to be per-
fectly satisfied, give our goods trial. In
addition, if this company can be Of service to
any of its patrons in furnishing them with
formulas, it will do so with pleasure and
without charge. An allowance of $1.00 per
ton will be made to those bringing their sacks
with them, and discount of 2 per cent. will
be made on all cash sales.

Municipal Election.

On Monday April the 6, the people OF
this town will be called at the poll to
select five councilmen to manage the
affairs of this corporation for the COM
ing year.
The present board has had the reins
of the municipal government for the
last two years, and as they have grown
in years, they have grown in unpopu-
larity. for numerous have been the COM
plants we have heard against the pre-
sent administration, and many Of the
most Ordent workers who helped to put
them in office, are the first to cry against
their administration. and demand that
they be relegated to private life, so rs to
end their political carrier for ever, and
that they rest in sweet abliviOn. And
we say amen!
1t is now necessary to select as trus.
tees five good white men who are not
politicians. who have no political aspir-
alton for the future, who will not go
there for the purpose of beneftting this
or that one for political favOrs, what We
want, is that some Of our most interest
ed business men, who have no other
views than the prosperity and welfare of
our town be promoted; men who do not
affiliate with politicians and expect fu-
ture compensation, men who will be in
dependent in their actions; such are
what we need for the next board Of
trustees. and If such men can be induc-
ed to accept the candidacy, they will re-
ceived the full support and assistance Of

nifty.

Expenditures of Public Money

Speaking of the burdens laid upon the
country by the just dead Congress, Mr..
DOckery, of the House C0mmitte on Ap-
preparations. said: II assert that in the
riOtous and lavish expenditure of the
peoples money the Congress just ad-
jOurned stands without rival during
the entire period of our existence as q
Government. The appropriations Of
both sessions aggregate the appalling
sum of $1.OOO.27O.471 90, being $l9O. .262,-
6l2 12 more than the aggregate Of the
appropriations Of the last Congress,
which was under Democratic control in
the House of Representatives. The ap-
preparations Of the last Congress were
$4,000 ,S59 so, or in excess OF those Of
the Forty-ninth Congress by $12 1865, ,26l
%; while the appropriations Of this Con-
gress are, as have already stated, $780,.
262.5l2 II more than those of the Fiji
tieth Congress" This means that Con.
gress has appropriated about all the
money in circulation in the country
for cash in circulation among the people
to-day amounts to only sl.2o0.Noo.OoO.-

The Improvement Of Bayou
Teche.

Some days ago the engineer bureau Of
Washington, through sap-head sent to
the Teche for investigation, made q re-
port that the stream was not worthy Of
improvement, in the face Of the fact that
the resident engineer had recommended
that the stream be looked after.
The commerce of that stream II en0F.
mOus-probably more than any other Of
its size in the world. II has received
less aid from the general government
than any other important waterway.
The last thing done for 1t was 1t 1909,
when few weeks were spent pulling
out the snags stnmps CT trees that had
gone into the stream.
The annual amount Of business done
along its banks, amounts now to over
160.0OOOO. Just think OF the injustice
when about one sixteenth OF that
amount would place the stream In pro-
per condition from Port Barre TO ito
mouth. The estimate is low down. for
in 1887, the commerce Of st. Mary alone
was-including exports and imports. ac.
cOrding to the statement Of +. T. King.
which was made from rock bottom facts.
amounted to $13,979.34S,05. Since
which time commerce has almost dou-
bled. More land has teen taken In and
cultivated, more sugar houses have been
erected, more machinery added for the
manufacture eff sugar and the increase
has been greater since than for any time
previous since sugar become staple Id

In 1887 the sugar made In pounds Wa

L. S. Engineer would dare offer such .
report as went forth in regard to tho

is in the South, and more than likely

No Convention Necessary.

Some of the politicians seem to think
1t necessary to call convention or pri.
mary election for the selection of five
candidates to run as trustees of this
town but we beg to differ from them,
the Republican party and negro rule is
a thing Of the past, and the matter in
volved now rest among the white people
OF this town, therefore We deem 1t un-
necessary to bold any such political
meeting for the selection of five good
men, let as many candidates who are IN
clined to run. and those who may be in
duce to allow their names to be used as
cand idates he voted for. the larger the
number, the better will be the selection,
and then We shall have really the choice
Of our people. We are entirely opposed
to any convention or primary election
when there are not two disticnt parties.
and when the opposing factions are of
the same race and the same party.
Therefore, il the politicians try to get
signatures for convention let them meet
with prompt and decisive rebuke, 1t is
only the work of politicians. when the
voice Of the people count for nothing,
and it is absolutely unnecessary in this
