FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
THE
NATIONAL REl'l BLICAN,
OF AUGUSTA, GA.
SUBSCRIBE FOR IT.
The present Presidential campaign in
volves more momentous consequences than
any previous political contest in the history
of the country. The people of Georgia are
deeply interested in the result, and will
therefore, look forward to the developments
of the campaign with increasing interest.
The dissemination of reliable news, mid of
sound constitutional views on the important
issues of the day arc essential to the success
of the Republican parly.
To supply in a measure this need, we wil
mail The National RepuueicAk for any
four months prior to January 1, 1869, at the
low rate of $1.50.
We appeal to the old' supporters of the
Repubijcan to aid us in extending Wits
circulation. We pledge ourselves to devote
all our energy and ability to the success ql
the great cause in which the Union Repub
lican Party is embarked; and to spare
neither labor nop .expense in making Tail
National Rbpubvicax a useful and reliable
n ewspaper.

lhe Coming Crop.
As much interest is felt throughout the
country in regard to the prospects of the
cotton and other crops we will be grateful
to our planting friends, and others in the
interior, for information on the subject.
Onr factors and others who have opportu
nities for obtaining valuable information hi
regard to the growing crops, and anything
of interest in relation thereto, will confer a
favor by communicating the same to us.

Watermelons Without Seed.
Hie following plan has been successfully
adopted by a planter in Caddo parish, La.:
After the vine is about two feet king, cover
the same at a point intermediate between the
root. After it has taken root where it is
covered, divide the vine between the old and
new root, and the result will be that the
melons will be seedless, without impairing
their quality.
•♦ • -
t orn and Pork.
The Cincinnati Prices Current, after
speaking of the general favorable reports
of the wheat crop from all quarters of the
country, says:
The indications of the corn crop are
quite favorable, and should this lie the
case, a large increase in the pork crop may
be looked for the coming season, beemtse
the supply of stock hogs will be unusually
large, for not only wds the supply left
over from last season Targe (farmers not
having fatted them because of tire high
price of corn and the cohiparative low
price of pork) but the increase since then
has been liberal, so that the number now
iu the Western States, it will be« seen,
musk be-unusually large.
The Augusta Factory.
The twentieth semi-annual report of Wm-
E. Jackson, President, submitted at the
close of the financial year, shows that the
condition of the Augusta Factory tompany
is very favorable.
The gross earnings for the six months
ending July 1, 1868, were $139,632.30 ; the
expenses and taxes aggregated $31,898.16---
leaving as net profits; $107,534.14 • from
which two dividends of 5 per eent. each,
amounting to $60,000; ■ have been paid,
enabling the company to curry to the credit
of profits and loss account - $47.534.11 —
making the amount now to the credit ot that
account $224,798.22.
During this period the following statistics.
Cotton C0n5umed1,362,571 lbs.

Aggregate wages paidsß7,s46 93

It will be remembered by those who
were among the original purchasers, that
this property was purchased of thfc City
for $140,000 on ten years’ credit, with
interest at seven per cent., payable semi
annually, and one tenth of the principal
annually, the purchasers paying iu as
commercial capital $60,000. Since the.
purchase, the Company has paid for the'
entire property without calling on the
stockholders for another dollar; added
largely to the property by purchase and
building, bought SIOO,OOO worth of new
machinery, increased the capital, to $6()0,-
000, by the addition of a portion of the
surplus; paid dividends regularly, and has
now a property worth the par value
($600,000) in gold.
lhe present condition of the Augusta
Factory Company is an enviable one;
entirely free front debt—sufficient commer
cial capital to conduct the business suc
cessfully in ordinary seasons—a good
reputation for fabrics and responsibility—
an excellent force of operatives, and the
two mills so good condition.
