the cotton worm.
These destructive little vermin are ma- 1
kin" sad havoc throughout the length, and
breadth, and depth of all the cotton fields
in this section of the country. They
come in myriads, as though by magic, so
sudden and universal is their simuliane- j
ous appearance. A cloudy, damp state
of the atmosjihere, accompanied hy a
rapid and sappy growth of the cotton plant,
seems to favor the procieation ot these all
inouthed little gluttons. They are depo
sited hy a huttei tly. in the twilight of even- |
jng, on the lender hud at the end of a
branch of the cotton plant. By morning
the egg is hatched, and immediately the
work of destruction commences. They
are then not larger than a common sew. j
ing needle. They start down the branch
of the plant, perforate the first square or
form, which, in a few hours, spreads wide
open. Their growth is very rapid, and
according to their atie and size, so they
attack the bolls ot different ages and sizes.
One worm will destroy about twenty :
squares and bolls if they are convenient
to the worm’s acce-s. If the weather ;
turns off very hot and dry, they leave '.ho
cotton and go into the ground- like the
colewort worm, and come out and eat in
the night and return again when the sun
shines hot Iy. \ hey cannot survive hot !
and dry weather. In the space ol two
weeks they can destroy one third or more
of the most promising crops ol cotton.
And the richer the land and the more
luxuriant the crop, the more complete is
the destruction tlTey produce.
And I have never heard ofany remedy
for the prevention of this Egyptian plague.
The destruction of the vermin, af;er they
a re engendered, seems to he the only fea
sible manner of getting rid of it. To do
this, I have given to each of mV field
» n
hands a bottle, which they suspend around
the neck with a string. Tho bottle is
filled one-third full of water. Each hand
then takes his row, as at other work, and
examines each stalk—finds the worm at
bis destructive meal —gathers it and drops
it in the bot’le,and the worm soon drowns.
For the first few hours, it seems to he a
slow business, but they soon become as
expert as turkeys, and will gather from
five to fifteen hundred worms in a day.—
At night each one brings up his bottle—
we strike a ring, all the worms are count
ed out, so that the day’s work ofcach one
may he judged of. This day, with 25
bands, wo have caught, counted, killed,
and offered up on the shrine of wonder
ing poultry, over twelve thousand cotton
worms, and to-rnorrnw we expect to dou
ble this amount. We can catch at least
20,000 worms in a day. Each worm, in
the course of his life, will destroy twenty
squares and bolls. This, then, is a nett
saving of 400.000 bolls of cotton per day;
and field hands have but little work now
to do, as cotton is not opened sufficiently
to commence picking.
A great many people, in the plenitude
inf southern dignity and chimnoy-eomer
wisdom, affect to laugh at this simple and
primeval method of routing these ruinous,
vermin; because they say it looks so ri
diculous, to see a grown-up man picking
up worms like a turkey cock! But it
must look equally ridiculous to see men,
women ami children “worming tobacco.”
And it looks much more ridiculous to the
proprietor and the overseer too, to see a
large field of cotton stalks, big enough to j
make a bale of cotton to the acre, and
that garnished with about 300 lbs.of blue,
half-open, worm eaten cotton.
Try it, and if you do not like the
il modus operand!” you can quit it in a
half minute.
It is now too late to theorize or book
fa rm the worm out of your cotton fields, i

Put up hy Mistake. —The Cincinnati
Advertiser tells a good story of a mer
chant who addressed an agent to the ef
fect that as cranberries were very plenty
in his part of the country he might send
“without delay one hundred bushels per
Simmons.” The agent couldn’t decipher
the scrawl very well, and was utterly
unable to make out the word “cranber
ries,” but the “per Simmons” was as
plain as a church steeple; and, to his
great delight—for there was any quantity
around him —he road “one hundred bush
els persimmons.” The transportation
Wagon was dt laved two days, and all the
old barrels, -boxes, &c. &c. filled with
about eighty bushels of the fruit, which
was packed otf for Cincinnati. The !
merchant was staggered sit the sight of
them, and the countryman was in a ter- j
hide pucker w hen he came to town, at the
merchant’s declining to pay for them, fie
insisted however that he had been misled I
the letter, saying, “If you meant Sim- j
inons, the wagoner, why didn’t you sa} r
hy Simmons? Per Simmons may be
Latin, but it’s not the English for wagon- j
er.” The markets were filled with per- |
simmons for weeks, and all Cincinnati
had a surfeit of the luxury, from which
it has hardly recovered to this day.

DU. JOEL BRANHAM’S
LIVER AM# DYSPEPTIC
MEDICINE.
IN offering this valuable medicine to the people
of Georgia, for the relief and cure of many dis
eases incident to a southern climate, 1 do not claim
for it infalibility; neither do J say it will cure all
diseases. But in Chronic Liver Affections and Dys
pepsia, I can confidently advise and recommend its
use, from ray personal observation and use of the
article in my own practice. This article is favora*
hly received wherever it been used. lam al
lowed to refer to Mr. George Heard of Troup, Mr.
John Warren of Columbus, Mr. .MrKaffee of Cobb,
Mr. Asbnry Hull of Athens, Mr. William D. Ter
rell of Putnam, Rev. John E. Dawson of Lagrange;
| to which a great number of names might he added,
j who bear their testimony to its value. Dr. Henry
Branham has used this medicine in his own case,
and has prescribed it to many others, gives it as his
opinion, that it is one of the safest and most valua
! hie medicines that can be used in imperfect diges
tion, liver complaints, constipation and irregular
! state of the bowels. It is useful in bilious com
j plaints, to persons recovering from bilious fevers,
I and in sick or nervous head-ache. To pregnant
-women, who are subject to costiveness, this medi
cine is well suited. In regulating the state of the
stomach and bowels, and promoting digestion, it is
particularly useful.
I could append a long list of certificates, but for
bear, prefering to rely on the virtues of the medi
cine to sustain itself. The medicine is a gentle
and certain cathartic, tonic and sudorific.

PROGRESSIVE POWER COTTOH
p Ksassai.
THIS .Machine is now offered to the public aS ' ,jj
the most durable, the most convenient, the e
most powerful, (and all things considered,) the s
cheapest and best Cotton Packing Press in the j
World. r
This Press lias now been in use four years—sev- e
eral hundreds of them are in successful operation. )
lit one tiiat has been in use about two years. \
there has been packed, over Jive thousand Hales ot t
Cotton .' and it works better (if possible) now, than t
when first pul up. Not one dollar has been ex ,
pended on it in repairs—nor ever will be, it well. ,
used. ,
All those persons who have tried them, have de- ,
elded to keep them their life time, and then hand
them down to their children to the third and fourth \
generations. Not an iitdiv iduul that has seen them ,
in use but w hat pronounces them "just the thing.” •
I challenge the world to disprove these state
ments. Now, can as much be said of any other
\ Machine ever made? And yet Igo still further;
; w hen required, 1 will pul up the Press on the plan- j
, tation, and if it does not answer the purpose, will !
make no charge.
And again—being well aware that the planters j
have but little confidence in new things, from the
fact that nine out often are ‘"Yankee tricksf’ in
tended to deceive, I have been to the trouble and
expense to fit up an establishment in 31acon. with
several Presses, for re-packing Round Bales into
Square,and to show to the planters that the Press is
just the thing they want. These Presses are now, j

BLETON BITTERS.
FOR DYSPEPTICS.
E BITTERS are purely a vegetable
dpound, and are offered to the pub
lic from a principle of benevolence, under the full
est conviction that they will be found a safe and
sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia. They have been
triumphantly tested not only by some of the most
respectable lamilie? in the State, who have furnish
ed ample testimony as to their decided excellence,
but also by tlie proprietor, w ho, for ten years, suf
lered all the gloom incident to that distressing dis
ease. They possess the peculiar excellence denied
to most other Bitters, of not proving injurious by
continued use. They contain not a single delete
rious ingredient, and, as seen from the directions
which accompany each bottle, may be given with
entire safety to an infant in the month
If the Colleton is taken regularly and persever
ingly,(, vv Inch is highly im|>ortant irsetubboni cases,)
they will, soon after ihe.use of a few bottles, be
found to act on tlie system like a charm—imparting
vigor to the rtomach, bracing the nerves, cleans
ing the liver, promoting digestion, increasing the
appetite,strengthening the chest and voice, reliev
ing pains, cramps, and stitches in the breast. They
are also most excellent for cholera morbus, habitual
constipation,sea-sickness, nausea, proceeding from
whatever cause, in cases of generfßdebility. it
has proved one of the best is there
fore highly recommended to elderly jieople, literary
gentlemen, students, and others of sedentary habits.
Taken in small doses frequently through the day,
they have checked the most violent diarrhoea, and
like w ise been administered with the happiest effect
in cholera infantum.
In all the foregoing complaints, these Hitters will
be found effectual if persisted in, and taken accord
ing to the directions which accompany each bottle.
And although it has been testified by several that
they are excellent in many others,yet in none other
than those above enumerated, is the proprietor will
ing to vouch for their efficacy. 'They were prima
rily and solely intended to cure Dyspepsia.
The Colleton Hitters have been eight years be
fore tlu* public; and in consequence of the increas
ing demand for ibis valuable medicine, I lie proprie
tor lias entered largely into the business—bottles
are procured having "Colleton Bitters” moulded in
them—they are also numbered, sealed and stamp
ed w iili an appropriate motto. Price § 1 per bottle.

Os the Colleton Bitters— "(purely a Vegetable
Compound” and which, from the confidence 1 have
in the character and integrity of the makerand pro
prietor thereof, I verily believe to be true,) 1 en
tertain the most favorable opinion. Several of my
personal friends and acquaintances, long ,ifilleted
with Dyspepsia, have assured me that they have
found these Bitters belter than any other medicine
they ever tried, for that distressing disease. And I
take the pl« asnre further to state that I have wit
nessed the excellency of these Bitters, in nausia,
sick-headache, and bow el complaint; in this last
particular, 1 have seen the Colleton repeatedly and
successfully tested among the children of ray own
house-hold. No family ought to he w about this in
valuable medicine.

rgGII-S medicine has, in many thousand instances,
_fiL brought health and returning vigor to the weak and
languid irame. Its operation extends itself to the remo
test transactions of the genera I system, and consists in re
moving diseased action in tiic absorbing and secreting
vessels.
The blood contains tbe, elementsof the whole animal
structure —flesh and fibre,glands, muscles,tendons, the
nails,the haii,und even the bones themselves, are all
sustained by tbe blood. Well, then, may it becalledthe
stream ol I lie. In proportion to the purity of Hind will
be that of the substance i .to which i t is con tin unify chaug -
ing. Corrupt blood instcadof producing healthy tfesh, is
likely enough to develop sores and ulcers. When these
appear, whellietin the specific form of scrofula, in all its
multiform and disgusting shapes, or eruptions in all their
disfiguring variety ,rheumatism,lnlious disorders,general
relaxation and debility .and a host of complaints arising
from disordeied secretions there is nodetergent,it is be
lieved,that wlllsorapidly neutralize the vit iimii the blood
from which they spring and effect a radical cure,as this

with Scrofulous Ulcers, Dyspepsia, &c., and recently
with an affection of the Throat and Chest:
BAII.EYSBURG. Va..Dec.lßtli, 1815.
Messrs A. B. q- D. Sands —Before 1 commenced using
yourSarsaparil amy sufferingswercalmost past expres
sion, in v throat was completely ulcerated,! hud a dreadful
cough, and there were frequently weeks together that I
could not speak above a whisper: and besides, the infla
matioufroni my throat extended into my head, so thatmy
hearing was very mneh impaired. After Taking llleSarsa
parilla ashort timemy health improved and my throat is
now well. lam as free from cough and tightness of the
chest as lever was, and can hear quite distinctly. My
throat has been well about three mouths, the cure of which
\ hasheen effected entirely by the use of yum .Sarsaparilla.

Messrs. A B if D Sands — Gents: Feeling it a duty to
j you and the community at large, 1 send you this certifi
i cate of the virtuesof your Sarsaparilla, that others who

I wastroub.ed with a severe ulcer on my ankle, which

Messrs. Stnids —l deem it an act of justice to myself
and the community at large, to relate the following facts
which occurred in our neighborhood in the latter part of
July last. Jane C , a young girl aged fourteen years,
I was afflicted with an immense sore on the middle ol her
: back, which defied all the treatment of medical skill. As
I she was a friend ofourfamily,l employed all the means in
' my power in endeavoring to relieve her, but in vain. At
last some person mentioned tome your Sarsaparilla, and
I immediately procured tw o bottles ol Messrs. Mosely &.
Tucker, your Agent-in this city, which I gave to her. I
; called tosee her the next day and she told me she had ta
ken tw o doses and felt very much relieved. 1 laughed im
moderately at this.but she said it was really so', and,gen
t tlemen.in a word, in two weeks from the time she com
menced using it, there was neither sign nor appearance
i of where thesore had been. Yours,respectfully,
