CONSTITUTION ALIST.
FRIDAY MORNING, FEB. 18, 1870
State Items.
jofin Tit;
terest in the material itndguoii will of the
Columbus Sun office. The style of the firm
will remain ns heretofore, Thomas Gilbert
& Cos.
The Monroe Advertiser still hears of farm
ers pledging their prospective crop for
means to carry on their farming operations
the present yeur.
The Air Line Eagle says Mr. Garner, gen
eral agent of the Air Line Railroad, is in
Gainesville, collect!ug the first installment
of 10 per cent, on ihe stock of that road.
There arc now over one thousand hands at
work on the road.
A case involving the respective rights of
landlord and tenant was decided by Jus
tice Wade, in bavanuah, in favor of the
landlord. The issue was made upon the
point that a party renting a dwelling as a
tenant at will, and paying the rent each
month as it fell due, made the last, payment
a few days since upon the. day on which it
was due, and on the morning-of the next
day, without previous notice, moved out of
the house. The laudlord brought suit for
a month’s rent, and judgment was given in
his favor.
The Monroe Advertiser learns that wheaj;
is in a very flourishing condition both in
that county and in Butts. The stand is
uncommonly good, and quite a large area
of land has been sown in both sectious.—
This shows wisdom on the part of the
farmers, and we hope they will continue to
look at the substantial side of the situation
when the time comes for planting com.—
From what we can gather from various
sources, we infer that the planters of Mon
roe have prepared a large extent of land for
corn—larger, if anything, than last year.
Mysterious Murder in Savannah
From the Savannah Advertiser, we learn
that a colored man, named John Bosten
Fields, was found shortly after 8 o’clock 04
Monday evening, nearly dead, near the in
tersection of East Boundary and President
street, and subsequently died. An exami
nation of the body by the jury holding the
Inquest, on Tuesday, was made, and two
very severe scalp wounds were found on
the left side of the head, and while these
were not in themselves sufficient to cause
deaths a dirk wound, some six inches deep,
on the right side, immediately~through the
liver was fatal enough.
At the investigation on Tuesday a col
ored boy named Charles Heyward, testified
that he saw two white men assault deceased
ou Monday evening, one of them striking
him on the head with a blllett of wood ten
times. The body, however, did not show
any wholesale pounding, and Heyward’s
affidavit is pronounced an evident fabrica
tion. This was the sum and substance of
the whole testimony, and there is so much
mystery about it that the detective force
has been ordered to work up the case, and
if possible, detect the mui’derer or murder
ers.
Bold Robbery at Chattanooga—A
Drover Robbed of $2,200.—An old gen
tleman named C. Cocanaughy was robbed
of twenty-two huudred dollars, at the
Nashville depot, in Chattanooga, yesterday
morning, in a very bold manner. Mr. C.
is from Washington eounty, Kentucky,
and had disposed of a lot of mules in Geor
gia. He was on his way back to Murfrees
boro to buy cattle. When he went to buy
his ticket, at Chattanooga, he found he had
not money enough in his pocket-book, and
took a roll, containing $2,200, out of an in
side coat pocket, to find a bill. He had
just taken his seat in a Nashville car, when
a low set, heavy bifllt man called to him
that he was in the wrong car if he intend
ed going to Murfreesboro. The old gentle
gathered his valise and overcoat, and ran
out of the car just as the train was start
ing. His guide, who undoubtedly was the
thief, led him down the depot, pretending
that he would show him the right car, and
in the confusion and noise of departing
trains, the old man’s cries and struggles
were unnoticed, and the fellow, in a few
moments, had possessed himself of the roll
of money and made his escape in the dark
ness.
Three robberies, beside the above, oc
curred in Chattanooga on Friday night,
and it seems likely that a gang of bold
thieves must have made that burg \helr
headquarters for at least twenty-four
hours:— Nashville Banner , 15th.

To Jas. Buddie it Cos., Louisville, Ky.:
Gentlemen : This is to certify that I have been for
years a sufferer, and tried all the tonics 1 have heard
of or ston advertised, with litile or no relief from any
of them. I heard Hurley’s Bitters highly spoken of,
and tried a bottle, with little faith in ii heiore I com
menced, and, to my surprise and joy, before I finished
one bottle I felt a great deal'better, and firmly believe
that on? or two occasions it was the means of saving
and prolonging my life. I conscientiously recommend
them to ail sufferers as the best Bitters known, and
advise them always to ask for Dr. T. A. Hu-ley’s, and
have no other. You can use this aa you think proper,
if it will benefit others.
Yours, truly, etc.,

To l>r. Thos. A. Hurley:
Sir : I deem it an act of justice to you to state that
in the month oi February last I bad 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 oouid walk. 1 procured some of
your Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, and com
mended taking it. I found that I began to improve—
my cough became less severe—the soreness of my
lungß and breast gradually subsided—my rheumatic
pains loss acute. I attribute this mainly .to your Sar
saparilla. I have now been taking it for over two
months; have taken in all five bottles. Its effects
have been most satifactory to me, and I advise others
similarly afflicted to give you a trial.

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

surprising that it is fast taking the place of all other
preparations for worms—it being perfectly tasteless,
and any child will take it.
Messrs. James Buddie it Cos. :
Gkhtlbmbn : It gives me great pleaeuro to say,
after using all tho other worm remedies known to me,
with but partial auccees to my children, I was advised
to try Dr. T. A. Hurley’s, and since usine it my chil
dren have become well and healthy. The children
would eat it all the time, It is so pleasant, if we would
let them. I believe it is one of the best and safest
remedies known, and as such, recommend it to one

Read Analysis of Prof. JOHNSON, of Tale College,.
PROF. SAMUEL W. JOHNSON, of Yale College, in his “ Report on Commercial Fertilizers,” to the “ Connecticut Board of
Agriculture,” makes the following tabulated statement of fertilizers analysed by him, with the explanation of Gold valuation, as
follows :
“ The valuation is not intended to fix, in all cases, the proper selling price of a fertilizer. It may, however, always serve for
comparing together the money value of two or more manures, and so nearly represents commercial worth that the farmer will not
ofteii 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 1857, 1858 and 1859, when referred to the gold standard, are not far
from t hose which result from computing the present market cost of the commercially valuable elements of standard manures.”
The Secretary of the Board, T. S. Gold, Esq., remarks on Prof. Johnson’s Report t “ .These samples analyzed by Prof. John
son, were received by him without their names, or any 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 ou sale. These packages were de
livered personally, or forwarded by Express, so that he could know nothiug 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 Odd valuation; also the market price at the time the report was made.

J. O. Mathewson, Esq., Augusta, Oa.:
Dear Sir : I received your favor of October
15th, and would have answered it sooner, but
you wished to know what per ceut. I was ben
efitted by the use of the one ton of SOLUBLE
PACIFIC GUANO, bought of you last Spring,
and 1 could not tell correctly until I got
through ginning, which I did this last week. —
The SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO more than
doubled the yield of Cotton on land unmanured
before. '
I planted ten acres last year without manure,
and made three (3) bales of Cotton ; planted
the same ten (10) acres this year, manured with
the one t*n of SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO,
and made seven (7) bales, averaging over 400 lbs.
I have been a 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 suck from the
top blossoms. I never expect to plant another
acre without Manure, and Wish yon to send mo
another ton of Soluble Pacific at once,and oblige
Yours, truly,
JOHN C. WILLIAMSON.

SULPHURIC ACID,
MANUFACTURED AT CHARLESTON.
TJ NDEH THE DIRECTION OF Dr. N. A. PRATT, CHEMIST FOR THE SULPHURIC
ACID AND SUPERPHOSPHATE COMPANY.
SOLUBLE PHOSPHORIC ACID, in the form of SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE OF LIME, or
DISSOLVED BONE PHOSPHATE, is the basis of. all good Fertilizers, and these are valnable
in the ratio of Soluble Phosphoric Acid which is in them.
The immense deposits ofPhosphatic Guanos which were discovered in 1867, in South Caro
lina, by Dr. PRATT, consists mainly of Insoluble Phosphate of Lime, which is made available as
a Fertilizer by being ground to powder, and reduced by Sulphuric Acid to such a coudition as
to make its insoluble phosphate soluble in water, and thus made capable of being taken np by
growing plants. The insoluble phosphate found in anv Commercial Fertilizer is of no more
value to the plant than the original phosphate rock. The greater the proportion of this soluble
phosphate which any fertilizer contains, the less the quantity required per acre, and consequent
ly the cheapest Fertilizer is that containing the highest per centago of Soluble Phosphate.

A. MEANS, Inspector, Savannah, Chatham county , Oa.
The foregoing analysis of the Etiwan Fertilizer, No. 1, indicates a high proportion of Soluble
Phosphoric Acid, an indispensable element in the production of fruitage for Cotton, Corn and
the Cereals generally, and which, in this condition, acts promptly during the first year. The
amount of Insoluble Phosphate of Lime which it contaius —equal to 10.41 per cent—remains
in the soil, to undergo chemical re action favorable to a succeeding crop. It will rank, there
fore, amongst the most reliable of the class of Phosphate Manures.
