/ jSLiH<m>AD -Mei "tn t o m Covington —A
bfafdur-lfly-- h" of Newton county
TielTa m3ptth]plrf Covington on the Ist
Inst., with the object of siving some ex
pression of feelinp: nnd for tho'purpose of
givinjr encour.tirement to tlic coustrucUon
of a railroad from Macon to Covington,
and to take such other steps important
and necessary to its success. The meeting
was presided over by Hon. W. 8. Mont
gomery A committee of five was appoint
ed to report matter for the consideration of
the meeting. The committee consisted of
the following gentlemen: Col. W. W.
Clark. Maj. Lewis Zachry, Muuson Glass,
Silas H. Starr and Boykin R. Smith, who
reported the following preamble and reso
lution?. which were tinanimonsly adopted :
Whkheab. The people of this county
notice that the project o.‘connecting Macon
ami Covington by rail is again agitated,
and kuowing the importance and advan
tages of the enterprise in personal conveni
ence, and the consequent appreciation of
property of this section ; be it therefore
Retolvtd, That we are gratified at the
prospect of this road, and will give all the
assistance in our power to insure the rapid
and early completion of this enterprise.
800 ted, That Col. W. W| Clark and
Hon. W. S. Montgomery be appointed as a
committee to confer with others favorably
so the project, and to take such steps as
they may deem to the interest of this sec
tion and looking to the success of this road.
No Mohr Imprisonment for Debt in
England.— There is a theme for a story of
intense dramatic interest in the scenes that
transpired in the prisons of England on the
last night of December, 1809. To many a
poor, heart broken man the chimes that
welcomed the new year were the sweetest
music that earth could give. With the last
hoar of 1869 the infamous law which for
centuries has legalized imprisonment for
debt, expired, and at midnight, as the prison
doors were opened there were exchanged
the greetings of a happier New Year than
those poor victims of penury had ever
known before. At the White Cross street
prison in London were ninety-three prison
ers whom the law set free. These poor
creatures longed so ardently for liberty that
they packed their few goods together as
early as four or five o’clock in the after
noon, and counted the seconds until the
hour of their release arrived, while in many
cases their ftmilies, women and children,
waited for them outside the gates, and
watched as anxiously the slow flight of
time. It is a sad commentary upon the old
law that sixty-three of the prisoners begged
to be allowed to remain in the jail until the
next day, on the plea mostly that they had
do homes to go to.
An Unfortunate Affair.—A few days
ago Mr. Benjamin Jordan, of this county,
went oat to his negro quarters to qniet
some disturbance between his hands in re
gard to the division of some corn, wlieu one
of the negroes, Elbert Denham, became very
mnch enraged and fired his gun at Mr.
Jordan, lodging the contents in his right
aide. Mr. Jordan was not dead at last ac
counts, but he is pronounced mortally
wouded. The negro made his escape.
[ Thoma&ton Herald.
The Washington Star says: “ Paul Ger
ard, who married the lovely octoroon, Miss
Wormley, has received *a letter from his
people in France, sending him $1,500 to
pay his debts and take him home with his
bride, his family having become reconciled
to his marriage.”
A German In New York City has Invent
ed an apparatus to be applied to street cars,
consisting of lever and spring, by the use
of which the moving power of a car, when
stopped, is only checked, and not entirely
Interrupted, causing the horses no renewed
effort iu starting the car again. He intends
to have his invention patented.
A bill has been reported in the Maryland
House of Delegates to appropriate the sum
of $3,000 to purchase a lot of ground at
Point Lookout in which to inter the re
mains of the Confederate soldiers who died
there while prisoners.
Mr. Rogers, a Philadelphia merchant,

son, at the Tombs, Thursday, and on leav

of them. 1 beard Hurley’s Bitters highly spoken of,
and tried a bottle, with little faith in it betore I com
menced, and, to my surprise and joy, before I finished
one bottle I felt a great deal better, and firmfv believe
that one or two occasions It was the means of saving
and prolonging my life. I conscientiously recommend
them to all sufferers as the best Bitters known, and

Sib : 1 deem it au act oi justice to you to state that
in the month ot February last 1 had a severe attack
of inflammatory rheumatism, which completely pros
trated me. At the same time my lungs were much
afflicted. I was so reduced that it was with the great
est difficulty that I oould walk. I procured some of
your Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, and com
menced taking it. I found that 1 began to improve—
my cough became less severe—the soreness of my
lungs und breast gradually subsided—my rheumatic
pains less acute. I attribute this mainly to your Sar
saparilla. I have now been taking il for over two
months; have taken in all five bottles. Its effects
have been most sutifactory to me, and I advise others
similarly afflicted to give you a trial.

As this is really a specific for Worms, and the best

and any child will take It.
Messrs. James Ruddle <S Cos. :
Gkntlkmhn : It gives me great pleasure to say,
after using all the other worm remedies known to me,
witli hut partial success to my children, I was advised
to try Dr. T. A. Hurley’s, and since usinir it my chil

would eat it all the time, it is so pleasant, if we would

J. O. Mathexoson , Esq., Augusta, Ga.:
Dear Sir : I received your favor of October
15th, and would have answered it sooner, but
you wished to know what per cent. I was ben
efitted by the use of the one ton of SOLUBLE
PACIFIC GUANQ, boqght of yon last Spring,
and 1 could not tell correctly until I got
through ginping, which I did this last week.—
The SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO more than
doubled the yield of Cotton on land unmannred
before.
I planted ten acres last year without manure,
and made three (3) bales of Cotton ; planted
the tame ten (10) acres this year, manured with
the one ton of SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO,
and made seven (7) bales, averaging over 400 lbs.
I have been n Cotton Planter for thirty years,
and all the time—except this year—making
“ Bumble-bee Cotton, "—the bumble bees stand on
their hind feet, on the ground, and such from the
top blossoms. I never expect to plant another
acre without Manure, and wish yon to send me
another ton of Bolnble Pacific at once,and oblige
Yonrs, truly,
JOHN C. WILLIAMSON.

Read Analysis of Prof. JOHNSON, of Tale College,.
PROF.-SAMUEL W. JOHNSON, of Yale College, In his “Report on Commercial Fertilizers,” to the v ‘ Connecticut Board of
Agriculture, 5 " makes the following tabulated statement of fertilizers analysed by him, with the explanation of Gold valuation, as
follows: ; , . • s,; : ■'V ;v»
“ The valuation is not intended to fix, in all cases, the proper selling price of a fertilizer. It may, however, always serve/or
comparing together the money value of two. or more manures, and so nearly represents commercial worth that the farmer will not
often err in refusing to lay out his money for any article whose cost much exceeds the calculated value.
“ The valuation is properly based upon the cost of the active and valuable ingredients of commercial manures, as obtained from
the cheapest standard sources. Without going into details of the calculations, 1 will state that the prices which I employed in my
Report to the Connecticut State Agricultural Society in the years 1867, 1858 apd 1859, t often referred to the gold, standard, are not far
from those which result from computing the present market cost of the commercially valuable elements of standard manures.”
The Secretary of the Board, T. 8. Gold, Esq., remarks on Prof. Johnson’s Report : “ These samples analyzed by Prof. John
son, were received by him without their names, or any mark except a number. Most of them were taken, under my inspection,
from the bags or barrels in the storehouses of the dealers, and were just the article they had on sale. These packages were de
livered personally, or forwarded by Express, so that he could know nothing of their origin or pretensions.” .
The annexed table shows the different manures analyzed by Prof. Johnson, of Yale College, giving the names of the manures,
of what composed, and their Gold ■valuation ; also the marke^ price at the time the report was made. ’ '

„ „ r Selma, Ala., September 16th,. 1869...
Messrs. Wm. Crichton A Son, Baltimore : t .. ... >
I write to' say, that so‘ for as I have heard from the “ AMMONIATED
PHOSPHATE,” the reports are very favorable indeed. Several planters who have
and the Peruvian Guano side by side, say they cannot distinguish any difference. I have used
both, and think your Fertilizer shows fully as 'well as the Peruvian, and believe there will be a
great demand for it next season. It has been used during the present season on COTTON, with
valuable results, by the following gentlemen, In Dallas County, of this State, to all of whom I
ruler. Dr. Wm. Mixon, Cept. B. Botkrn, Ellis Mixon, Esq., Capt. A. V. Gardener Hunter
B. Rives, Esq., Alexander Sample, Esq., and others. W. S. KNOX
Newberry, 8. C., December 2d, 1809.
I purchased of Messrs. Willis A Chisolm one ton of “Crichton A Son’s Atuuiuniated
Phosphates ” last Spring. I used it on both Corn and Colton. lam satisfied that I received as
large a per cent, of yield for the cost, ns any fertilizer I have used since the war.
J. 8. HAIR
Millbdobville, Ga., November I.Blb. 1869.
The Ammoniated Soluble Superphosphate of Lime ” I received the 2d day of May, with
the request that I should test its value on Cotton as a fertilizer. When I received it I was nearly
through planting, and did not have an acre of ground suitable to plant in Cotton, so I selected
one acre most convenient, which was a piece nearly worn out, and which, in my Judgment 1 ,
would have produced without any fertilizer, about 800 lbs. Bbbd Cotton per acre. I did not
get a good stand—about %of a stand—yet the result is 590 lbs. Seed Cotton, and about 60 lbs.
Bolls caught by the frost, which will open yet.
Thus it proves to be a good article—for any fertilizer that will realize fifty to one hun
dred per Cent., as this has done, is a good Investment. W. A. COOK
Culvbrton, Ga., November 15tb, 1869.
This year I have experimented with ten different fertilizers of the most popular brands—
and “ Wm. Crichton A Son’s Ammoniated Soluble Superphosphate of Lime ” is at pres
ent ouly equalled by two of the manures. lam not quite through picking, but there is so little
yet to be picked, that it will not materially alter the above statement or result.
I can, without hesitation, recommend this fertiliser to planters as a No. I Cotton Manure.
JOHN L. CULVER.
Macon, Ga., November 20th, 1869.
1 used one ton of Wm. Crichton A Son’s Ammoniated Superphosphate of Lime on tlva
acres. lam well satisfied with its results on Cotton. It is a first class fertilizer, and 1 can re
commend it with great confidence. From the well known reputation of the manufacturers, I
am certain it can be relied upon for uniformity. H. T. JOHNSON,
Os Johnson, Campbell A 00., Macon, Ga.
Green County, Ga., December 20th, 1869.
I used the Ammoniated Superphosphate of Lime of Wm. Crichton A Son on three acres
of Cotton. The Summer was remarkably dry ; yet 1 am well pleased with the result. The
yield of Cotton being much greater where the fertilizer was used, and paying me handsomely.
I can cheerfully recommend it as a first class fertilizer. The well known integrity of the manu
facturers is a sufficient guarantee for its uniformity. THOMAS P. JAMES, M. D.

From tha Analysis of “ WM. CRICHTON A SON’S AMMONIATED SOLUBLE SUPER

RELIABLE FERTILIZER. Its elements are so well balanoed as to furnish the chief constitu
ents needed in general soils.
Its AMMONIA is in sufficient quantity, in aid of that furnished from natural sources to
give growth, vigor and greenness to the plant, while the afnouut of SOLUBLE and Insoluble

present crop, and Rive constitution to the soil, which will increase the product of the next and
