COTTON SEED MEAT-.!
0
We offer for sale Cotton Seed Meal, or would exchange for
Seed where parties desire to do so. At present prices of Meal
and Seed, thirty bushels of the latter would pay for sufficient
Meal to manufacture one ton of Guano—requiring, in addi
tion, the proper proportions of the cheaper ingredients—Acid
Phosphate and Kainit.
We give below reports as to results obtained from Meal,
properly composted.
Hon. J. T. Henderson, in his report of the Soil-Test of Fer
tilizers, conducted under the direction of the State Chemist at
Athens, Ga., says the object of the experiment was—
“To test the result of fertilizing with a cheap composted fertilizer compared
with equal quantities of high-priced commercial fertilizers. A compost w.u
made of the following substances in the relative proportion named, viz:
Acid Phosphate 1250 lbs.
Cotton Seed Meal 500 lbs.<
Kainit 2 5° ^ s -
“This was applied on one portion of the plat side by side with three standard
fertilizers, A, 15, and C, each at the rate of 300 lbs. per acre. The plat container
four sections, whose area was each one-half acre.
RESULTS IN SEED COTTON:
Compost 899* lb. per acre.
Standard Fertilizer, A 7954

OUR. NEW YEAR’S GREETING!
The New Law for Collecting Poll Tax.
Doubtless a good many of our people
are not aware that the last Legislature
passed a?law which changes the mode
of collecting fi. fas. for poll tax from
that hitherto pursued. The Constitu
tion makes the poll tax a part of the
educational fund and therefore this
fund has suffered from a very great de
ficiency in the collection of this tax.
For instance, in this county there are
less than two thousand polls collected
annually, whereas at elections nearly
three thousand claim the right to vote,
which fact shows that nearly 33 per
cent, of this tax is not collected, there
by causing considerable loss to the edu
cational fund. Under the new law, af
ter the tax books are closed, the Tax
Collector is required to issue against all
tax-payers who fail to # pay tax before
the closing of the books, a fi. fa. for
the property tax and a fi. fa. for the
poll tax, thus doubling the cost of the
fi.fas. The fi.fas. for the poll tax must
be turned over by the Tax Collector to
the County School Commissioner, who
is charged with the collection of the
same, and who is required to hold them
until paid. Section 44 of the act reads
as follows:
“That all poll tax collected in this
State shall, from and after the passage
of this act, be paid over to the County
Commissioners of the several counties
of the State; and be by the county
boards of education in the several
counties of this State paid out, without
any deduction for fees or salaries of
officers, to the support of the schools
in the respective counties -where said
poll tax was raised; that when the Tax
Collector in each county makes out fi.
fas. for unpaid taxes it shall be his duty
to make out separate fi. fas. against
each defaulter, specifying in each case
that it is for poll tax for that year, and
shall at once turn them over to the
County School Commissioner, taking
his receipt therefor, and shall at the
same time furnish the chairman of the
County Board of Education with a list
of the fi. fas. soturnedover. The Coun
ty SchoolCommissioner shall be charged
with the collection thereof, and to this
end may place such fi.fas. in the hands
of such constables of his county as he
may deem proper, who shall collect the
amount due thereon in the same man
ner now prescribed by law r for the col
lection of State and county taxes.
“The constable, for collecting such
fi.fas., shall receive the fees now allow
ed by law ; but the County School Com
missioners shall not receive any extra
compensation for their services in su
perintending and attending to the col
lection of said fi.fas. When said fi.fas.
have been paid off, they shall at once
be turned over to the Tax Collector.”

ther for cash or on time—

A Good Deal of Sameness.
The Savannah News says Senator
Brown made about the seme speech in
the Senate that Maj. A. O. Bacon made
in the Georgia newspapers, and adds
this comment:
“It is amusing to read Senator
Brown’s statement that the amount
collected on whiskey manufactured in
Georgia is almost sufficient to meet the
expenses of the State government.
The people who manufacture the whis
key donT pay it. Those who consume
the whiskey pay it, and they would pay
just as much if there was not a gallon
manufactured in Georgia. The. Sena
tor seems to have overlooked this little
but rather important fact.
“But how much does the protective
tariff take out of the pockets of Geor
gians every year? Would it not be
within bounds to say twice as much as
the whiskey tax does? And why would
it not be better to reduce these tariff
taxes, and thus benefit every person
in Georgia, than to repeal the whiskey
tax and benefit only the whiskey-
drinkers and moonshiners? Georgia
would like to hear from Mr. Brown on
this point.”
The susceptible vouth is like the mos
quito. There is little hope for him af
ter he gets mashed.
“With all thy false I love thee still,”
quoted the husband as he stroked his
•wife’s store hair.
