Indictments Against Swan & Co.
Wc understand that indictments were
presented to the Grand Jury of the City
Court, this week, by the Attorney Gen
eral, charging that Swan & Co. were
drawing a lottery in this city under a \
charter which has expired. The jury, j
after a prolonged examination, during j
two days, returned on the indictment; j
"no bill." — Constitutionalift, 18 tit.
We have the most reliable and un-1
doubted authority for asserting that the \
" anxious man” wiio gave our neighbor j
the above information, blundered most
signally. In the first place, there were,
no indictments presented to the Grand j
Jury of the City court: in the second j
place, there was no such position assum-'
ed as that Swan & Co. were drawing a
lottery under a ciiarter which had expi- j
red. In the third place, the Jury was
not engaged on the matter two days;
and in the fourth place, there was noi
such return made as "no hll." There |
was a fecial presentment before the Grand
Jury, occupying their attention during
a portion of a morning, and which fail
ed to he returned to the Court.

Prolific Cotton Seed-
PLANTERS are informed that I have
succeeded in producing a Prolific Cotton
] that yields more to the stalk than any I have
ever seen. Being fond ot experim nt, I have
tried, Tor the last twenty-five years, every va
riety of Cotton that promised a large yield,
and*have found nothing that equals my present
! stock of Seed. It is a Hybrid of the Boyd's and
other Prolific* with the Petit Gulf. I have stalks
now iu my oflice,
Four feet high, with 155 bolls on it.
Threeleet high, with.... 125 “
Two feet high, with... .75 M “
I As many as two hundred and fifty bolls and
forms have be*?n counted on a few large stalks.
Every person who has seen ray crop prenounce
it the’ heaviest boiled cotton they ever saw. One
planter pulled off a limb, twelve inches long,
having nine bolls on it. As this Cotton does not
limb as long as Petit Gulf, it can be planted
closer in the row and drill, thus securing a
greater number of stalks to the acre.
I will fill orders for Seed at One Dollar and
Twenty-five Cents per bushel, sacked m new
cotton sacks, and delivered in Augusta, and for
warded as directed. Address
