Lime must, be present combined with phosphoric acid, and sul¬ phate of lime is derived from the union of sulphuric acid added to the phosphate of lime to make it more soluble. The chemical salts are generally combined with the potash. The silica is found with the phosphate. “Au acid phosphate is made up of phosphoric acid, combined with sulphate of lime (the largest constituent), neces¬ sarily present as explained above, mois tive, and miscellaneous.”—State Agri¬ cultural Department. Strawberries vs. Potash. Question. —I planted au acre of straw dierv plants last spring on a freshly cleared up pioce of ground. The dry year lias retarded the growth of the plants very materially, except where I had burnt- the trash heaps in clearing up. Oa these spots the plants are as vigorous as in a favorable season. Did the potash in the ashes cause the ous growth? What percent of potash IKSutaS'SkSl per ton ? Answeb. The potash in the ashes uudoubtedly caused the fine growth of the strawberry plants, which being ren¬ dered more vigorous than those not on the ash piles, sent their roots deeper and farther in search of food and moisture, and so when drouth came they wero in better condition to retain their vigor, and resist tho cSfeeta of dry weather. There is usually from 3 to 8 per cent of potash in the ashes from burnt tan b.u-k (of course I mean uu spent bark), and they are worth from $4 to$8 per ton, according to their purity and freedom from sand and other foreign substances. I will give yon another reason for the plants growing as you describe. When you burned the trash heaps, the heat killed all the seeds of pass and weeds in the ground under the fire, and when your strawberry plants were set out their growth was never retarded by grass and weeds, as Watch this space for J. 1 HI MM S elver h a tisemerit. w A !♦ CONYERS, GA., SATURDAY, OCT. 10, 1896. Campaign of Education. - . Styled in IS IS a Campaign ‘‘<luc»tio U . There are two g u raily ° imed «"> most modern system of educa tion ; (l)To store the mind with f Qndamenta “ l facts b and ,Um principles' . and , (2) to exercise, and thereby develop the powers of the intellect, the emotion and the will. The common usf> of the present term, “campaign 0 f educationsays J the Cinci natti Post, signifies the instruc¬ tion of the people on the sub ject of financial tariff, trade and topics. It is this instruc¬ tion which thousands of hither to disinterested, if not uninter¬ ested. Americans are eagerly receiving- The common people bear it gladly-to copy somewhat the language of Scripture. But the American mind possesses a vast stock of latent energy and when that is stimulated it be coms exceedingly active and often compative. It is the right material for* the processes of education of the end of develop¬ ment. Therefore, will that campaign prove indeed a cam¬ paign of education’in the broad sense of the term. The people, will acquire much valuable knowledge of finance, tariff, trade and related topics, and they will acquire a facility in the use of the faculties of mem ory and reason which can but prove an aid to truth and a guide to wisdom. Education broadens. Breadth of view makes charitable. Charity unifies a community into a f ee li n pr 0 f brotherhood and COIU patriOltSni' ... Hie good 111 Oil 01 recognised as the good of each.

Tillman feels confident of Bryan’s election be¬ cause, as he says, the Demo¬ cratic candidate is ‘a man of destiny,’ providentially raised up for the deliverance of the people, just as Gyrus was super naturally delegated to free the captive Jews; As the astrono¬ mers and astrologists have tak en a hand in this problem, as well as men versed in the scien¬ ce of numerical symbolism, we reproduce the following curious calculation of au Ohio philoso pher. Gleucoe, O', Sept. 24, 1896, To the Editor of the Pittsburg Post: The Democratic National Committee at Chicago recently gave out a report through the columns of the Post that Bryan had a possibility of carrying 36 States, with324electorial votes .

Now let us see what transformation the figure 3 as a period of date may reveal. We find that there are 45 States in the union, which number is divisible by 3, And the question before iho American people is ‘Free Silver, November 3, 1896.’ Now let us see what letters and figures tell us. By counting tho let¬ ters in ‘ free silver and ‘November’ wo find there are 18 with the date ‘3’ and ‘1896,’ added together, give us 45, providing the fact of there being that many States. We have placed as standard bearers one pledged to‘unlimit¬ ed coinage’ and the other to ‘gold standard.’ Now, wo find the letters required to spell the name of Williau Jennings Bry¬ an to be 20; in ‘unlimited coinage,’ to which he is pledged, there are 16, making a total of 36. While in the name of Wil liam McKinley it requires 15 letters; ‘gold standard.’ to which he is pledged, takes 12 more, making a total of 27, or a difierence of 9 to compete with Bryan’s amount. Let us takothe-27’ composing McKin¬ ley’s name and ‘standard,’ and the ‘36’ composing Bryan’s name and ‘standard,’ with the ‘45’ composing the number of States, and divide each quotient by ‘3,’ the date of period of election, and we find the result is ‘9,’ ‘12,’ and ‘15.’ Added to-gether gives us‘36/ the age of Mr. Bayan. who has by this two chances of carrying 36 States. Now‘ to futher prove the amount of electors comprised in these 36 States, we multiply by 9 the number of States al lotted toMcKinloy,which proves TILLEY & OUiGG, -•-WAREHOUSEMEN AND dealers In I_"cn.xxiToer, Coal, Siiins'lce, We keep on hand at all limes W. earn a full line oi nice all kinds of Lumber, iiLiiiiirltisr, etc. l-orti-, Mamie’-, Sasli, blinds ai d 1‘aints.

It is alleged that one of those reasons is the con dition of the betting.
