THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1875.
Georgia State News,
Tho Albany News calls them “a
cyclone of homicides.”
Gov. Smith has authorized Gen. A.
R. Lawton, of Savannah, to negotiate a
loan of §250,000 for the State.
Thos. A. Gilham, the Ordinary of
Oglethorpe jfeounty died on the 17th of
heart disease. *
Dr. Lipscomb will be the orator of
the day, by the request of the ladies of
the Athens Memorial Association.
A house containing two colored chil
dren was destroyed near Mcßean tho
other day. The affectionate parents of
these children went off to a frolic and
let matters take their course—and they
took it.
The ladies all over the State are
j naking extensive preparations to cele
brate Memorial Day. Wherever lies a
Confederate soldier in the State of
Georgia, flowers will be strewn by the
fair hands of woman.
On Monday, Capt. W. H. Westcott,
while at the Schuetzen Park, Savan
nah, observed a largo alligator on the
opposite side of the river, which he
shot and killed; and Tuesday his son,
Charles B. Westcott, killed a large one
just below the park, which was hauled
out of the water, and is said to have
measured 19 feet 6 inches.
The Press Convention meets at
Athens on the 19th of May. The Al
bany News wants it somehow arranged
that the convention proceed from
thence in a body to the Charlotte Cen
tennial, which is on the 20th. We see
no business difficulty in the way, for
about all the profitable business which
will likely come before the convention
can bo transacted in half an hour. Say,
meet at 8 o’clock 19th, 8:30 adjourn to
the train.
In the case of Gray vs. Obear, trus
tee, decided by the Supreme Court of
Georgia on the 20th inst., it is held
that a trust estate cannot be created in
Georgia for a man of full age and
sound mind, (fray's father devised
considerable property to Obear in trust,
to use the incomo for Gray’s benefit,
and Gray brought his bill to compel
Obear to turn the property over to him,
on the ground that no such trust es
tate as that contemplated by the will
can be created under the laws of Geor
gia. The Supreme Court sustains this
ground, saying that a man can only
will his property as allowed by law,
and it is against law and public policy
to debar creditors of a remedy by
leaving property in trust to a male of
full age and sound mind.
Articles of impeachment were pre
ferred in the Atlanta City Council od
Thursday last against Jno. B. Goodwin,
a member of that body, and also
against Jno. F. Morris one of the
Atlanta Police Commissioners. The
charge against Goodwin is bribery,
agreeing to receive §I,OOO, and in fact
receiving §4OO as the price of his vote
as a Councilman for J. G-. Jones as
Chief of Police. Morris is charged with
malpractice in office and violation of
his oatli of office by agreeing to vote
for Jones for Chief of Police for §SOO.
Jones swore point-blank to payiug
Goodwin and agreeing to pay Morris.
The trial is not yet concluded.
THE FROST"KING.
Reports of Damage to Crops by the
Late Cold Snap.
Cincinnati, April 21. —The Commer
cial this'morning publishes advices as
to the condition of the fruit and wheat
crops from sixty-one towns in Ohio and
thirty-one *in Indiana. In Ohio the
peaches will be a complete failure aud
apples but slightly injured. In regard
to other fruit, one reports a good crop,
twelve report half a crop, and forty
eight rep®rt no crop at all. As to
wheat, twenty-four report crop unin
jured, twenty-two half a crop, aud
twelve no crop. In Indiana, thirteen
report the wheat crop uninjured, eight
half a crop, and nine no crop. Fruit,
three report a good crop, seven half a
crop, and twenty-one no crop. Advices
from ten towns in Western Pennsylva
nia indicate about half a crop each of
fruit and wheat.
, (Knoxville Press and Herald, April 22.)
The recent cold spell was unprece--
dented, not even “ye oldest inhabitant”
knowing of such cold weather in the
middle of any previous April. The
mercury went down and down during
Friday and Saturday, commencing to
rise on Sunday morning. On both Fri
day and Saturday nights ice was form
ed, but on neither night was there
frost—simply a downright freeze. The
telegraphic dispatches from the North
aud West tell of cold weather and
snow, the snow extending into upper
East Tennessee.
Carefully gleaned information from
numerous sources regarding the injury
caused by the icy spell, may be thus
summed up: Most of the cherries and
peaches are killed, the early straw
berries are “ gone dead,” while apples
are not seriously injured. Vegetables
and flowers were struck to the life by
the ruthless hand of Jack Frost.—
Wheat is not so badly injured as was
first supposed, although enough injury
has been done to make the crop proble
matical. Wheat has been grazed more
than usual, and thereby kept from
jointing.
A u through East Tennessee the re
mit of the freeze may be summed up
in the following extract from a letter
from Sweetwater, yesterday :
“I am sorry to say our fruit in this
locality is mostly killed, as well as
much of the early wheat, and other
greeu crops greatly damaged by the
freeze.”
The gardens throughout the city
suffered, but most of them were pro
tected. The general decision about
the fruit trees in the city gardens is
that about one-half the fruit was killed.
(Montgomery (Ala) Advertiser, April 20.)
The frost of Saturday night did some
injury to the gardens, and the under
blades of young corn looked Sunday
afternoon, something like shoestrings.
The frost was not heavy enough to kill
down the young vegetation, but its
wrowth will be impeded.
About Letohatchie in Eowudes
county, there was sufficient frost Sun
day uight to kill what cotton was up
i m sandy laudj but fortunately there is
not yet much abovo the surface. The
weai'her is now much warmer, and v.e
hope will remain so.
Thji Indianapolis Herald has been
i -.tciiiug Uni- < >iiio temperance move
ment longer than any other paper, and
it says: “In Washington, Ohio, where
the whisky crusade first took shape,
there are now fifteen drinking houses —
two more than when the movement was
organized. The paroled bar-keepers
are ali .selling agaiu except the famous
Van Pelt, the uoble proselyte, who
knocked in his own kegs one evening,
to the ringing of bells and the praises
of women, and then took the field for
temperance. He is in jail for getting
and r u nk.”
A memorandum for posterity: April
16. Snow in the air and ice in the gut
lexs- The times are out of joint. It is
a c£'i© spring-halt,
j Cinddnati Cammwdm, April 17,1875.
i Memorandum made last year for
' “April 29,1874. Snow and
rain Thermometer 30 degrees—two
degrees below the freezing point. Con
ftpouentlv there was plenty-of ice. ]

]7HV£ years since, after previous years
; nf experience, in the propagation aud
preservation of SHADINES, or young
Shad, we first introduced our fish to the
American people.
Shadinea are put up in hermetically seal
ed tin boxes, perfectly boneless, in a mild,
pleasing, appetizing sauce, palatable to ail,
free from oil—so objectionable in sardines—
retaining only the natural richnbss of the
Shad, and ready for the table at all times,
for dinner, lunch or evening meal, by
merely opening the box. Many complaints
having been made that irresponsible par
ties are palming off American Club Fish
alias Ocean Trout, for Shadines, customers
will bear in mind we are the original and
only packers of Shadines, aud every genu

“EXCELSIOR
GUANO,”
COMPOSED OF

(Patented.)
I CLAIM for the above Fertilizer that it is
richer in the elements valuable to
the Cotton Planter than any article sold in
Georgia or the Carollnas. To establish this
claim I refer to analyses of the best Agri
cultural Chemists in the country,Di-.Llebig,
of Baltimore; Prof. Shepard, Inspector of
Fertilizers for the State of South Carolina;
also to Col. Rains, Inspector at Augusta.
I refer to Planters who have tested it with
almost every article known in the market.
In many instances using two pounds to one
against me. I claim it is the
CHEAPEST,
though high priced, because In each pound
of it there is as much valuable material as
in two pounds of any of the cheap rock
phosphates. IT IS DRYER, FINER,
LIGHTER, AND CONTAINS LESS MOIS
TURE. It contains more ORGANIC MAT
TER, being made of Bones and Guano,
and not'of Rock Phosphate. The Phos
phate of Limo in it is better than that ob
tained from rocks, and is taken up by the
roots of plants more readily*

W. G. liusey, Esq., Allien, S. C.:
Dear Sir: Yours of the 26th at hand. In
regard to your inquiries about Guano, I do
not think I gave BUSEY’S GUANO a fair
trial. 1 put half as much of it to the acre
as 1 did of Cotton Food, the results were
about the same, i thought it stronger than
the Cotton Food and put less.

TV. G. Busey, Aiken, 8. C .* .
Sir: I have been asked my opinion in re
gard to BUSEY’S “ EXCELSIOR GUANO,"
and in reply will say I used it on my last
year’s crop of cotton, with other standard
Fertilizers, but I never found any of them
equal to the BUSEY’S. lam satisfied it is a
No. 1 article, and expect to give it the
preference the present year.
Respectfully, R £ BARKSDALE.
Augusta, Ga., January 27th, 1875.
IK. G. Busey, Aiken, S. 6.;
Dear Sir: Yours just received. I pur
chased from Daniel & liowland, last Spring,
two tons BUSEY’S and am well pleased
with the results. On nineteen acres of thin
sandy land I made nine bales of cotton.
Land measured and cotton sold to Daniel
& Rowland. Very truly,

Dear Sib : In reply to your mfiuirv as
to the effect of your EXCELSIOR
GUANO ” last season, I state that I used
about 150 pounds per acre, on 25 acres of
poor worn-out land. The result was four
teen (14) bales of cotton, averaging 415
pounds each. I consider it in every re
spect, a first-class Fertilizer.

Dear Sir: 1 used 700 pounds of your
Guano on fifteen acres of land, winch made
8 bales of cotton, weighing 466 pounds. 1
consider it a first-class Guano.
Respectfully, J. H. WALKER.
Warren ton, Ga., January 28, 1875.
Mr. W. G. Busey. ......
1 was very much pleased with the Gunao
bought of Daniel & Rowland—" BUSEY’S
EXCELSIOR,” and expect to use it again
this year if 1 can get it.
Very truly, yours,
THOMAS L. WHEELER.
Barnett. Ga., January 27, 1875.
Dear Sir : I used one ton of your Guano
last year. I have used several other kinds
of Guano, but think yours did better than
any I have ever tried. Respectfully,
J. A. TAYLOR.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
This is to certify that I have use
“BUSEY’S EXCELSIOR” GUANO for sev
eral years past, and from actual test with •
fifteen different kinds, I do not hesitate to
pronounce it fully equal to any, if not tho
very best, of all the manipulated Guanos

W. G. Busey, Esq.
Dear Sir: Yours to hand asking my tes
timonial of your Guano. I used it in the
year 1872, and I thought it was the best I
ever used in my life, making the best yield
1 had ever received from any Fertilizer. I
used last year one ton, and while it did
well, not so well as before; but It was
owing to seasons. If it is kept to its origi
nal standard, I think it one of if not the
best 1 have ever found for my land.
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
W. G. Busey, Esq.
Dear Sib: Your favor requesting the re
sult of your Guano on my cotton crop last
season is at hand. I made no test with
other commercial manures last season, but
tested it with two different brands two
years ago, aud the result was greatly in
favor of your Guanf), and I was equally as
well pleased with it last season, and judg
ing from test rows that it enhanced the
value of this crop considerably. Tho exces
sively hot weather In August proved fatal
in this vicinity. To those wishing to use
Guano, I feel no delicacy in commending it
as a first-class Fertilizer, to be excelled by
