Nance’s District, June IB.—I see in the issue
of the daily of June 15th that "Guano” wants me \
to be more explicit and answer a few of his ques* j
tions, which I frankly propose to do. I then |
want “Guano” just as frankly to answer my j
questions. Now, Mr. Guano, we do not want |
any dodging.
In 1884 I used the Home Mixture as sold by I
Col. II. Bussey and the Plow Brand, sold by the [
Hunt Bros., ior which I paid 450 pounds mid
dling cotton each on time. Last year I used only |
the Home Mixture as sold by Col. H. Bussey, for j
which I paid $37.50 cash. This year I am using ■
the Gossypium guano sold by Tom Hunt, and am 1
to pay 375 pounds middling cotton in ten ton lots:
on less than ten ton lots it comes higher. 1 j
could have bought the Home Mixture this year j
fur $91 dollars cash from Mr. Wm. Hedd.
Now, with my experience, I consider the Home
Mixture as sold by Colonel Bussey and the Gos
sypium as sold by Tom Hunt as two excellent
guanos, and I cannot see any difference on the !
crops where the two guanos are used side by side. I
Some of my neighbors are trying experiments
with the two guanos, and cannot see any differ- |
dice. To be brief, I purchased all the ingre
dients mentioned in the formula from, or by an
order from, Mr. William Redd to Blanchard A-
Burras, for which I paid William Redd twenty-
one dollars cash. The phosphate was branded
Pacific.
Now as to your second question about the
brand of kainit, that question is rather hard to
answer, as kainit is German salt, and German
salt is kainit—a cheap potash. As you are a
guano dealer, and of course have plenty of money,
suppose you go over to Germany and find out as
to their different brands, as I learn there is but
one shipped to this country. The experiment
that I am making is on a crop of cotton.
Now, Mr. Guano, we have given you cash and
credit prices that we paid, and, as you say you
are a dealer in guano, please do as we have, give
us your formula. .If you cannot do that give us
the cost of the ingredients, what they cost to lay
them down in Columbus before being mixed, as
that is the point we are driving at, and is the rea
son the first article was written. We planters
want to find out if we cannot do our own mix
ing and save the cost of building large factories
and buying costly machinery and paying large
dividends, and officers’ salaries, Ac. As to we
farmers writing on the important
subject of farming, can the dealers
know more of guano than the man
that buys it, puts it in the ground, watches it all
through crop time and gathers the crop and
knows the exnct results of his year’s operations?
The dealer is in some city and knows nothing of
farming and is only thinking of selling his guano
for next year’s crops. They all want to sell, and
all say they have the best; that is just what we
farmers want to know, which is the best, for the
farmer’s success is the success of all others, and
nobody denies that guano dealing is just as repu
table as any other honest business. As to thou
sands of dollars being invested in the business of
making guanos the planters have their tens of
thousands invested in farming and have lost tens
of thousands on the product of some of those
reputable dealers.
Now, to close the article, I win give you a good
joke (although a true one) of one of my friend’s
experiments with guano. He got all the kinds
he could hear of, and was very particular to mark
the rows of each kind, and that he might not be
mistaken, put it down in a book. One row he
-did not put any guano on, and marked that row
with an old iron hinge- drove it down in the row.
Afterwards he examined all the rows and could
not see any difference. He had a very cute negro
hoy by the name of Joe. He sent Joe into the
patch to see if he could point out the best rows.
In a few minutes Joe came running in and says:
•“Boss, dat guano is all doin’ mighty well, but de
row wid de old iron hinge is de best of all.”
Now for a few references and the testimony.
Mr. M. M. Bowden is using the formula alone,
having given up the higher priced guanos. Mr.
T. C. Rees says he used the formular with as good
practical results. Mr. O. H. Miller is using phos
phate alone by the side of gossypium and the
home mixture, and used the same amount of
• each kind, two good fertilizers, with just as good
results. The phosphate cost 275 pounds of cotton
and the guano 375 and 425 pounds of middling
cotton. Mr. Brit David is using phosphate, hav
ing given up higher priced guanos. Also Mr.
Tom Lambeit. 1 used 150 pounds of each kind
per acre. Your questions are all answered, Mr.
Guano. Now, please answer mine. N. E. M.
RAHIMS COUNTY.
Congressional Relegates to Have a Fair Chance in
the Primary—News Nojes ami Gossip From Hie
County.
Correspondence Enquirer-Bun.
Hamilton, Ga., June 18.—The executive com
mittee met here yesterday for the purpose of de
termining when and how to select delegates to
represent Harris county in the congressional con
vention, which convenes in LaGrange, July 2Cth
next. They determined to vote directly for the
candidate for congress on June 26th inst., and the
executive committee, together with the friends of
the candidate getting the highest vote, to select
the delegates on the first Tuesday in July next.
This gives each candidate an opportunity to try
his strength with the people andean hurt no one.
it is generally conceded that Grimes will easily
carry Harris county.
We are informed that Col. Harris’ friends are
taking some interest in his welfare by canvassing
a portion of this county in his interest for con
gress.
One of Georgia’s senators seems to have time
enough to take a hand, by writing, against the
knight of the Chattahoochee for congress.
The campaign for gubernatoriar honors seems
to wax warmer in proportion to the limited
time for canvassing before the vote in the pri
mary.
Legislative timber is being felled and put in
shape to be used in the coming race. As yet
only two pieces have been brought out for in
spection.
A timely rain fell here yesterday morning, suffi
cient to keep the crops growing.
Harris is destined to be an important county
this year in the election ring. One can scarcely
tell a joke without sticking some of these borers
of the people a stunner.
A PLK.l FOR TIJ K CO>V.
Reasons Why the t’ily Council Should Not Pass an
Ordinance Prohibiting Them From the Streets.
Exquirer-Sun : A lady has requested me to
write something about cows. I presume she is a
friend to them and wants me to defend them
Rgainst those people who arc making so much
fuss about nothing. I have none and may, there
fore, be considered an impartial judge.
Now J think tc pass an ordinance compelling
people to keep up their cows would just now
especially be a great injustice to many and iqcon-
venience for all. Very few have any place to keep
them, and those who have not would, of course,
have to give them up.
No large cities permit stabling without some
restrictions as to the locality where they may be
built. It is plain that it would be a great injury
to me for my neighbor who happens to have a
cow to build a stable a few yards away from my
window, from which would come, no matter how
careftd he might be, swarms of flies and an odor
that would make summer nights intolerable.
Some of you who .would con
vert Columbus Into a cowpen, re
member that by so doing you endanger the
lives of your children, or If you have none, those
of your neighbors and friends. Cow stables
would be in the event of an epidemic a means of
spreading it* a#d although t^e board^pf health
might order thBm removed the germs of disease
would remain for weeks, even months after
wards.
It is now conceded that thick growths of weeds
and grass of any considerable extent cause sick
ness and without, our appreciating the fact the
cows are rendering us a v aluablu service In keep
ing our commons and streets clean, thus saving
the city a very considerable expense.
The area of Columbus is. small, ard since wi
have no control over our suburban villages it by
no means follows that we can keep our streets
clear of them. We will have no end of trouble
impounding cows from without our limits and
much bad feeling will be the result. What harm
do they? One correspondent complains
his flowers being damaged; the same
thin g may have happened if he had lived in
the country. One cannot expect cows to have
intelligence enough to keep out of an open gate
with tempting grass or shrubbery just within
Another complains that they trouble the farm
er’s wagons. A farmer who is so careless a. 1
to come to a place the size of Columbus and
leave his wagon unprotected, ought to lose his
hay, fodder and everything else. Then, farmers
are uccustomed to cows and their depredations,
and when one pillages a wagon I presume he
feels repaid in the use of a few big "d's” and
quickly forgets the matter.
There arc in Columbus about 1000 cows. At an
average of three gallons of milk each, would give
three thousand gallons per day, which at the
present price would amount to $1200 per day or
nearly $450,000 per annum. And a large propor
tion of it is used by nersons who have no place
to keep a cow and who need the milk—some of
them could not live without it, and could not uf-
ford to buy it. The more 1 look into the propo
sition the more amazingly selfish it lookR.
Here are gentlemen surrounded with every
thing that the market affords trying to rob a lot
of poor people of the only luxury they have, and
for the purpose of farther filling their already cor
pulent wallets by creating a demand for dairy
farms in which they are interested. Oh! you
need not start and throw up your hands! I can
put my hands on people who are agitating this
thing, and every time it dies out they touch it up
again. What will become of the cows? Some to
the butcher, some to the country, but a majority
of them to the dairy fanner at half price.
If this ordinance must pass I propose some
amendments, viz:
First—I propose we put up chickens; they are a
great enemy to flowers.
Second—I propose we put up rats; they frighten
ladies and invade farm wagons.
Third—1 propose that we keep the cats up.
'Their open air concerts at 2 a. m. are a great
nuisance.
Fourth—Dogs, the snarling, barking cur that
roams the streets at night should be killed, and a
tax of one dollar on every one kept for sporting
purposes. Lacto Cephalous.

Heath of Mr. Clarence Terry.
Mr. Clarence Terry, one of the oldest tin date
of service) and most valued clerks of the Travel
ers, and for many years the clerical head of the
claim department of the Travelers Insurance
company, died of consumption May 18, in Colum
bus, Ga., at the home of his brother, aged forty-
five, having vainly sought renewal of health in
Colorado and Florida for a year past. He had
some of the best of old Hartford blood in his
veins. Jeremiah Wadsworth, the famous revolu
tionary financier, was his grand-uncle, ®and on
both sides his family ties were excellent. The
late Commander Edward Terry, of the navy, was
his brother; Major-General Alfred H. Terry is his
cousin. He served through the war in the Bev-
enteenth United .States infantry. He entered
the service of this company nearly twenty years
ago, after some experience of banking, and has
remained with it since. Personally, he was of
quick and keen, intelligence, a lover both of
books, music and sport; an excellent husband
and father, and an honorable, loyal and lovable
man. He leaves a wife, daughter and son.—

Alabama Crops.
The farmers of Randolph county have
I harvested their wheat crop. The clover
| crop has been damaged greatly by rains.
Other crops are doing well. Peaches are
I beginning to ripen.
j Crop prospects in and around Selma are
! not in any wise flattering, owing to much
! rain, and the want of the ability of the
farmers to keep up with farm work. In
| many places it looks almost hopeless, yet
i we still are not discouraged, but hope for
| an abundant harvest in tne fall time.
I The Blountsville News says the oat crop
i throughout the county is looking remarka-
I bly well, and it promises an abundant
! yield. Dr. Lewis Whaley had his wheat ,
I cradled last week, and the yield is very :
promising. Thecradlers say that twelve |
bundles will yield a bushel of grain. The
apple crop is very promising, and if noth
ing mars present prospects, there will be a
I very abundant yield or that excellent fruit.
I As a sequence the supply of apple brandy
I will be larger than it usually happens to
be.
There is a great deal of complaint
among the farmers about grassy crops
! around Montgomery. The recent rains
have thrown everybody behind, and day
hands arc now getting seventy-five cents a
i day to chop cotton. The oat crop is good,
1 but there will be scarcely any wheat made.
, It rains there every day.
Marks A Gayle and J. C. Graham A Co.,
| of Montgomery, report cotton blossoms,
but rainy weather during the last fort
night has played sad havoc with cotton,
j The crops arc in the grass.
! A storm of wind prevailed in Eufaula
i from 2 o’clock this afternoon until after
1 night, blowing dovvn fences, topping trees,
! etc. The damage to the growing crop
; must be considerable. The mercury went
away down.

THE COTTON STATES LIFE.
A Bill Filed Asking for* Rereiver for the Com
ply*
Constitution.
On Wednesday a m >st important and in
teresting litigation wan begun in the supe
rior court of Bibb county.
A number of policy holders in the Cottoi
States Life Insurance company, tin behah
of themselves and all others in interest
who might come in and join with them
whether policy holders or creditors, filed a
bill against that company and its president
and creditors, alleging that the company
hud withdrawn its agencies, ceased to ibsik
policies and failed to make returns to tiu
governor or comptroller-general, or U
take out a license, thereby retiring fron.
business; that its presidents and director:
were attempting to get the comptroller
S eneral to deliver to them the state bomb
eposited with him as a security for policy
holders, and to put in their place curtail
railroad debentures of much less value
and of a class not complying with the re
quirements of the law, thus lessening tin-
guaranty fund, and decreasing
the security of policy holders
that the company or those ii
charge of it were depreciating the value o.
out stand n ; policies aid buying them ii
for a trifle, and were conducting the aflaiiv
of the company in a manner not author
ized by law or by the charter. It was
charged that the rights of those who licit i
policies, or had any interest in the com I
puny, were being jeopardized, and a re I
ceiver was pravea. The object of the bill
is to wind up the affairs of the company
under the direction of a court of equity, so
as to protect all parties in interest.
The attorneys filing the bill are Messrs.
Harrison A Peeples and J. H. Lumpkin, o!
Atlanta, and GustinA Hall, of Macon. Tiu
company has not yet filed an answer, am.
it is not known who will represent them.
The case has been set for a preliminary
hearing on Saturday, June 24th. It wili
be a case of unusual interest, involving u
large amount of money and assets, and tht
rights of a large number of people.
Grailnatinsr Kxerrl*P8 at West Point.
The graduation exercises were held at
West Point Saturday. Brigadier-General
Gibbons made the principal address. He
referred to his classmates as he knew
them at West Point and again in after life.
Said he : “Fancy, if you can, the scene it
a sorcerer had suddenly appeared and an
nounced his intention of disturbing before
hand the prizes of the future to then cadets.
Fancy him placing his hand on the shoul
der of Fitz-John Porter and saying: 'You
will be the great military martyr of your
age. After rising to the highest rank in
the army by distinguished gallantry, you
will be stricken down by a heartless
calumny, dismissed in disgrace from the
service, and made to suffer years of agony
and shame. But don’t hang your head,
sir; remember that truth is mighty
and will prevail; that you live in a free,
just country, and when the light of
truth shall illuminate the page of history
and show the true character of your
actions and the vile means used to destroy
you. your countrymen will do you justice.
Ana remember above all things that one
who is acquitted by the deliberate judg
ment of a Grant, a Schofield, a Terry and a
Getty can well afford to stand up against
the charges of any accuser.’ One cannot
but be struck with the way in which the
dice-box of fate has deniea all prognos
tications formed here. The humblest
member of the class need never despair.
This institution does not make generals, it
simply implants the ABC. Longstreet
was third from the foot of his class, Eus-
tis, Newton, Raines and Roseerans were at
the head. Grant wa) N^/U among 39 mem
bers.” It was a question witn General
Gibbons if t ie standard of the academy
was not too high. He advised graduates
to obey orders and not be political parti
sans. “Remember,” he said, “that nq one
ever gained anything without hard work.
When you find others you deemed
less worthy grasping the prize you were
contending for, console yourself with this
aphorism, that ‘sage never grows on bar
ren soil.’ Above all, never tarnish your
military reputation by practicing the arts
of the politician.” Secretary Endicott
spoke a few words of congratulation to the
cadets and the officers of the institution,
and then handed diplomas to the grad
uates. No sooner had the battalion broken
ranks than the graduates hastened to their
rooms and took off* their uniforms, but not
before some of them were caught and put
under the pump.
