SUPPLEMENT TO m CONSTITUTION. CLACHORN, HERRING A CO. COTTON FACTORS AND COMMISSION MERCHANTS, AUGUSTA, GA., CHARLESTON, S. C., and PHILADELPHIA, PA. OFFER TO PLANTERS AND FARMERS THE GREAT FERTILIZER FOR COTTON AND ALL CROPS. Haring introduced “WHMJf’S RAW BONE SUPER PHOSPHATE OF LIME” to a number of Planters and Farmers in Georgia and South Carolina last year, where, we believe, it gave UNIVERSAL SATISFACTION, we again offer it with renewed confidence in its merits, claiming for it, that it is UNSUR PASSED AS A FERTILIZER and PERMANENT IMPROVER OF THE SOIL. Below we publish Certificates of some who used Whann’s Raw Bone Super Phosphate last year: Messrr. Olaghorx, Hsrrjko A Co., Augusta, Ga. Gentlemen:—In reply to your inquiries in regard to the Whanu's Super Phosphate, which I bought of you, and used oa my plantation, in Screven County, Ga., this year, I take pleasure in saving that it gave me entire satisfaction, and proved to be the best paying manure that I have ever used. I estimate that over and above the cost of the Whann’s, including freight and other expenses, that it paid me a net profit of forty dollars and seventy-five cents per acre, where I nsed it I used about three hundred pounds per acre. _ I cheerfully recommend it as being the best manure that I bare ever used, or seen nsed by others. G. C. DIXON. Watkissvillh, Ga., Nov. 29, 18(59. Mr. W. J. Russell— Dear Sir: We, the undersigned, have used “ Whann’s Haw Bone Super Phosphate” on Cotton, the past season, and think it paid us fully ono hundred and fifty per cent, on the cost; and will use all we can get money to pay for.the next year, believing it better than any Fertilizer that has been sold in this section.

It increased the yield where it was used one hundred j per cent, and stood the drought better than any Fertilizer I \ have seen used in this county. I cheerfully recommend it to our planters ; and shall want • a large quantity front "yon for next crops. ' JOHN GORHAM. I LaGrakoe, Troup Co, Ga., October 15, 1869. j Jos. S. Beak, Esq.,— Dear Sir: I purchased of you some of “ Whann’s Raw | Bone Super Phosphate last year, and used it on my Cotton, j I am surprised at its results ; it baa far exceeded my cxpec- j tations. Notwithstanding an uninterrupted drought, I nave j gathered twelve hundred pounds to the acre so far. and not j finished yet, where I nsed it The same kind of land, without ; your Phosphate, produced but five hundred pounds. I recommend it as the best Guano I hare ever used, and shall want a huge quantity from you next year. I prefer it to all others, Pure Peruvian not excepted. WILLIAM GORHAM.' LaGrakoe, Troup Co., Ga, November 27,1869. Jos. S. Beak, Esq.,— Dear Sir: In reply to your inquiry as to the effects of Whann’s Raw Bone Super Phosphate, purchased of you last season, I have to .say: That its yield was better than any Fertilizer I used. I am fully satisfied with its results, and recommend it to planters as a No. 1 article. * I noted that the drought had less effect on Cotton where I used Whann’s than on other Fertilizers, in the- same field. I shall use Whann’s largely hereafter. JOHN H. GLANTON. LaGrakoe, Troup Co., Ga., November 10,1869. Mr. Jos. S. Beak— Dear Sir: In reply to your inquiry as to the result of the Whanu’s Raw Bone Soper Phosphate, I - am pleased to report that it proved itself to be a No. 1 Fertilizer—stood ; the dronght first rate; and the increase of yield was over one hundred per cent. I warmly recommend it to our planters, and shall want a large quantity in the Spring. Yours, Ac, JOHN T. BOYKIN. LaGrakoe, Troup Co, Ga, November 1, 1869. Mr. Jos. S. Bhan— Dear Sir: Having purchased of you one ton of Whann’s * vith itself the most valuable Fertilizer I Raw Bone Super Phosphate, I, with much pleasure, inform ed it ~ you that it has proved itself the most valuable Fertilizer I i hare ever used, and regret not luuriug .purchased a larger i quantity from you. .1 picked five hundred pounds more per , acre, on land fertilized with Whanu’s, than on the same kind j of laud elsewhere. I prefer it to any Guano used by me this j season, ami I recommend it to planters as an A 1 article. Very respectfully, JOS. D. WJ ’ARE. Jonesboro, Ga., January 24th, 1870. Messrs. Claghokx, Hebrino A Co., Augusta, Ga.— Gentlemen:—I take pleasure in saying that the twenty tons ; of Whann’s Raw Bone Super Phosphate that I bought of you ; last year and used on Cotton- and Corn gave me great satis- \ faction. I am satisfied that it paid at least one hundred per i cent profit. Some of it was used by the side of other first class Fertilizers, aud it proved itself to be far superior to them. ■ I have uo hesitation in saying that it is' the best Fertilizer . that has ever been used in my neighborhood. J. M. AUSTIN. i LaGbasob. Tboup Co, Ga, November 10,1869. Mr. Jos. S. Bbak— Dear Sir: It affords me pleasure to report that the Whann's Raw Bone Super Phosphate sold me last year by you was a fine article. I am much pleased with its results; and it proved a No. 1 Fertilizer. To any one wno wants to raise a large crop of Cotton on a few acres, I unhesitatingly recommend to him the use of your Guano. Yours, truly, ROBERT H. MAGRUDER. LaGrakoe, Troup Co, Ga., October 30,1869. Mr. Jos. S. Beak— Dear Sir : You wish to kuow my judgment on 'Whann’s 'Raw Bone Super Phosphate, introduced hero last year by you, some of which I used. I do not expect ever to use any preparation that will excel it as a producer of Cotton. It is aa good as any Fertilizer can be; and I hope I will bo able to get from you all wanted next Spring. My opinion is, that if we had not have had a drought I would have made a bale to the acre where it was used; and the yield did not fall far below that. I have seen fields where four other kinds of -favorite Guanos were used, and your Whann’s far excelled any of them in production. Yours, respectfully, B. T. COX. LaGrakoe, Troup Co, Ga, November l t 1869. Mr. Jos. S. Beak— Dear Sir.: In reply to your inquiry as to mV experience with Whann’s Raw Bone Super Phosphate, purchased of you last year, I report that I am fully satisfied with its yield, and recommend it as a safe investment. Yours, truly, J. W. McGEE. LaGrakok, Troup Co, Ga, November 15, 1869. Mr. Jos. S. Beak— Dear Sir: The Whann’s Raw Bone Super Phosphate furnished mo by you was entirely satisfactory, both as to the purity of the article and its value as a Fertiliser. I applied it both to Corn and Cotton. The effect was obvious to every eye. I put in the Fertilizer on the 15th of May, and planted Cotton the last of May, on lands that wojild bring from two to two hnndred and fifty pounds per acre. On this land, with its use, I gathered about seven hundred ponnds per acre. My Corn land, without it, ordinarily would yield from twenty to twenty-five bnshels per acre; by using Whann’s I ‘gathered forty-seven bushels per acre. I had but ono rain on either Corn or Colton land daring the whole season. I heartily recommend the article you offer to every farmer. I am so well satisfied with my experiment, that I wish to try it agaiu. Put. me on your list for a quantity. Yours, truly, Ac, JOS. H. BURKS. Timmoxsvillb, 8. C, December 22, 1869. Messrs. Claqrorx, Hbrriko A Co, Charleston, S. C.— Gentlemen: Having been called upon by Capt L. R. Ragsdale, of Timmonsvillo, for a certificate relative to Whann’s Raw Bone Super Phosphate, I take pleasure in saying that I have used it the present year, and am well satisfied with the result. I also used the Peruvian, but want no other Fertilizer the next year but Whann’s. Very respectfully, WILLIAM MIMS. Timmoxsvillk, S. C, December 20, 1869. Messrs. Claohorx, Herring A Co., Charleston, S. C.— Gentlemen: I have been called upon by Capt. Ragsdale, of Timmonsville-, for a certificate relating to tne merits of Whann’s Phosphate, and I take thc-Iiberty to say that it is decidedly the best' Fertilizer I have ever tried. I used it side by side with the genuine Peruvian, and I like it much better than Peruvian, as my Cotton did not rust where Whann’s was applied; but where the Peruvian was put the Cotton rusted, and not half a crop was raised. Very truly, JOHN MIMS. Tihhohsyille, S. C, December 14, 1869. Messrs. Claghork, Hbrriko A Co, Charleston, 8. C.— - Gentlemen: This is to certify that I have used, the past season, Whann’s Phosphate along by the side of the genuine Peruvian Guano, and am confident that the former proved to bo fully as good a Fertilizer as tho latter. In fact, the difference was not perceptible. I want for the coming season fifteen tons of Whann’s. H. K. W. FLINN. Timmonsville, S. C, December 18,1869. Carr. L. R. Ragsdale, Agent— Dear Sir: I used one hundred and fifty pounds of Whann’s Phosphate to the acre, on common land, and, notwithstanding we had a remarkably dry Summer, say from the first of June to the last of August, the yield was much better than I could have expected. My Cotton turned one thousand pounds per acre; and I think, with favorable seasons, it would have made fourteen hundred pounds per acre. I wish you to supply me this incoming year with. Whann’s Phosphate, as I prefer it to any other Fertilizer. Yours, very respectfully Air. Thomas R. Penn, of Jasper County, Ga., received the first prize—$100 Pitcher. Read his certificate and statement: Mokticbllo, Jasper Cocktt, Ga, January 6,1870. I do hereby certify that I witnessed the weighing of the seed Cotton raised on 4,924} square yards of upland, by Thomas R.

Cotton; also, the ginning of 100 pounds of the said Cotton, making 34} pounds of lint—the wnolc making 942& pounds, JOHN C. POPE. I do hereby certify that the said Cotton was the Cotton that was raised on the above land by me. THOMAS R. PENN. [STATSXBXT.j ’ Moxticello, Ga, Jaunary 6, 1870. The land on which this Cotton was planted has been in regular cultivation for fifteen or sixteen years, without any rest, on which there never has been any Fertilizer 6r any other manure used whatever. The land was first broken up with a scooter plow, then laid off in four feet rows, with Reynolds’ one-horse plow, followed by a subsoil plow, in which 451 pounds of Whann’s Raw Bone Phosphate was deposited, on 4,924}' square yards. The rows were thrown up in beds with a common one-horse turning plow, and one bushel of (Hunt’s) select seed of (Hancock County) planted. . The seed was planted the 26th day of April, with the Dow Law Cotton Seed Planter. The after culture was done with the hoe and (David Dickson’s) sweep. The season was favorable until the 15th day of June, after which there was no more rain during the Summer, except some light sprinkles that did not wet the land half an inch. If the season had continued this Cotton would have made one third more. The number of pounds of seed Cotton was 2,748. THOMAS R. PENN. I do certify that the above statement it correct. W. C. PENN. espectrally, E. M. HILL. Augusta, Ga, January 22, 1870. Messrs. Claghork, Hrrkihg A Co— Dear Sire: On the crop of 1869- I used ten tons of Whann’s Super Phosphate; I used several other standard Fertilizers. All did well.
