Judge Andrews’ Atlanta Speech.
Some days sines we advised the read
ers of the Chronicle & Sentinel that
Bullock had determined to re ve nertain
bupreme an 1 Superior Court JuG • s who
had refused toco-operate with and support
him in his la‘e efforts to destroy our State
government and who still declined to par
ticipate in his attempts to rob and plunder
the people of the State.
Among the number thus stated to be
particularly obnoxious to the bloated rob
ber, we mentioned the name of Jadge
Garnett Andrews, of Wilkes. This dis
closure of Bullock's purpose seems to have
had a very decided «ffect upon Judge
Andrews. The Buliis-k organ at Atlanta
publishes an account of a speech made by
the Judge a few night" since at a Radical
meeting there, in which he is reported to
have said that “he fully and heartily en
dorsed the administration of Gen. Alfred
“11. Terry and Governor Bullock, and he
"lined that under (heir wine and judicious
"< ounneit the. Umpire State of the. South,
"hie own Moved G< oryia,would he restored
"to full fellowship with her sister Suites,
“and peace aDd prosperity prevail through
out the glorious old commonwealth.’
We confess that we can hardly believe
that Judge Andrews could have u-ed the
language above attributed to him. The j
Judge knows liu'lock’a character too well
—he has b-en so filly informed in relation
to his improper partizin and corrupt ad
ministration o the State government, as
to render it altogether, unlike y that he
could have endorsed.so broadly all of Bul
lock’s conduct. '•>
We do not, we hope, underestimate the
influence which otil ;c in these days exerts
upon the conduct of those who love official
position. We arc cognizant of the tenacity
with which some men cling to office, and
know how hard it is tor them to give up a
fat place. J udgo Andrews is too intimate
ly and honorably connec'ed with the past
history of the State, has been too often
honored with the suffrage of honest white
nun, to permit the mere lust for pay and
po.-ilioo to cause him to turn his back upon
his past record and des )rt the true people
among whom he has been raised, I here
must be a mistake in this report o. his
late speech.
The Confederate Graves.— During
a recent visit to ti e Cemetery we wore im
pressed wit It the beauty of two very fine
immortelle wreaths in front of the Con
feierate soldiers’ graves. The e wreaths
were imported direct from Paris by Mr.
0. Pemble, of the Augusta Seed Store,
who very generously presented them to
the Ladies’ Memorial Society, for the pur
po*e to which they have been appropria
ted. Mr. Pemble also presented the
Society, some time since, with a fine selec
tion of' flower soeds of different varieties.
The seed were planted over and around
the graves, and, under the influence of the
present, mild weather, will soon begin to
bloom, when they will present a handsome
appearance, and add much to the at
tractiveness of that portion of the Cem
etery.
Great Bargains in Dry Goons.—'TV j
attention of our oountry readers is directed I
to the advertisement of Mr. Christopher ;
Gray, which will be found in another
column. During the present and coming 5
week he will offer great b irgains in order;
to dispose of his Winter Stock to make
room lor the Spring supplies. Mr. Gray
is an old dry goods merchant, and from
his long experience in the business, is well
qualified to make selections for our market
During the aproaobjng Spring season he j
will offer many novelties at the lowest j
prices. Our oountry friends are invited to j
call and see for themselves.

ry number of this most valuable Monthly
Paper is upon our table. It is brimful of
practical instruction on growing fruit and
the beautifying of the home. It should
bo taken by every person who has aoy
taste or love for fruit or flowers. Price
only .00 cents per year. The January
number (which alone has that worth ol

good paper to obtain subsoribers for, while
the premiums offered are very liberal.
Going up in a Galloon.— Professor
King, the .'Kronaut, having perfected his
arrangements, will make an ascension from
this city on Monday woek. The place of
starting will be from the vacant lot on El
lis street, next to the Postoffioe. Mr.
King is a successful teronaut, having mado
uo less than one hundred and forty aseen
sions. The affair will tie exciting and in
teresting, and will, no doubt, bring to
gether a large number af visitors from the
city and surrounding country.
Queer Doinus.--A rather singular affair
occurred in Louisville, Chattooga county,
some days ago. A party of Federal sol
diers arrested a man named Abridge for
disorderly and threatening conduct against
one of his neighbors, and lodged him in
ail. That night a largo party of disguised
men went to tho house of Judge Kirby
(who came from Atlanta with the troops
and was suspected of bringing them) and
demanded, as a condition of his own safe
ty, that he should go to the jail and release
the prisoner from the custody of the mili
tary. This the Judge did, the Lieutenant
in charge granting his request alter walk
ing up and down the long line of disguised
men, who were drawn up in front of the
jail. Tiie story is a little lame, but the
affair is creating no little excitement in the
up oountry.

ASD TBICES.
There was a period in the cotton trade
before the days of telegraphing to the
United States and India came into p' y,
when cotton circular writing was popul w.
and when those conservant Vrith the trad.-
were tolerably accurate in their prognos
tications as to the future course of the eot
j ten market
Since the American war, however, the
I cotton trade in Liverpool, aDd in fact,
\ throughout the world, has changed. Sow
our (merchant* are not content with send
ing out to their own firms and corre
spondents abroad to purchase aDd ship to
this market, t or me:chants afcroad to slop
here on their account, but ,a huge system
: of gambling has arisen. Contracts are
now daily entered into, such as bear ano
bull transitions, which tori thetr reck
lessness would almost make our grand
fathers' hair stand on end; for at present
such is the haste with which men uesireto
become rich, that they are wilting to buy
| or sell thousands of bales of cotton not yet
groWD, picked, or received at the cotton
ports of the world, some of which canpot
' in ordinary time he received here before
August or September next, when another
American cotton crop will have been
planted and matured, by the extent of
which prices may bedepreciated or increased
1 three pence per lb.
This is said in common fairness to the
j general run of circular writers, as, with
1 influences at work by bears and bulls
and the daily receipt of telegraphic rumors
1 from all parts of the world as to the sup-
I plies of cotton and the demands for cloth,
it is almost an impossibility to prophesy
with any degree -T correctness even with
regard to the immed'ate future of the mar
ket. Nevertheless, there are still some
who, despite all the difficulties of dealing
first, with the probable extent of the in
coming American crop and the amount
which would be consumed there; secondly,
the extent of the Indian, Egyptian, and
Brazilian crops, and the amount which
will be received thence io Europe; thirdly,
what cotton will Europe consume during
the coming year—are still determined to
prognosticate, and who by carefully pre
pared circulars endeavor to lead and guide
public opinUm.
We have at the present moment two
circulars most elaborately got up, and is
; sued by a firm who for several years were
considered an authority; but eveu this
firm, able arid taieDted as their writer is
admitted to he, was found sadly wrong in
his attempts to guage the future of cotton,
both as to supply, consumption, and price,
for 1869, and will, we thirk, be also wrong
for 1870.
Just let us for a moment glance at their
circular issued December 31, 1868. In it
they state— <*:
"What are trie prospects of supply for
the coming year? We turn first to
America, and find, as usual, considerable
diver.vty of opinion—estimates ranging
from 2 600,000 to 2,760,000 bales. We
think the crop will be nearer the first than
the second of these figures, anu lean to
ward 2 600,000 hales, including all the
overland corrections. * * * * *
Egypt and Turkey have made good crops,
and some increase on last year is expected
perhaps 50,000 bales. Brazil seems
rapidly to increase its production, and a
further large addition is expected this
year—it seems not unreasonable to assume
an extra 200,000 biles. This general sur
vey would indicate roughly an additional
supply of 250,000 small tales to Europe,
exclusive otany extra quantity of the next
Atneri tan crop. This, it must be allowed,
is but a poor increase, and will only allow
a small development in the consumption—
say abiut 57,000 bales per week for Great
Britain, aud a oomparativt addition on the
continent, and that increase only in small
bales. It appears,therefore, that spinners
have another anxious perplexing year be
fore them, and have no room to anticipate
low prices for the raw material. At the
same time the prospect before them is not
one of famine, only of scarcity, and there
are various countervailing considerations
w hich have now to be stated.
“In the early ruouth of this year the
stat'Kticn position of the staple will proba
bly exhibit the opposite tendency to what
it did labt year. During the first quat ter
of 1868 the off take from this port reached
the enormous amount of 80,000 bales per
week, against an import of 66.000 bales
per week, and this reduced the stock (after
allowing for corrections) from 447,000 bales
at tho end of the year to 312,000 on the
2d April; hut this year we do not antici
pate that the off take will exceed 36,000
bales per week, while the import will prob
ably exceed last year, and may reach 70,-
000 per week, and therefore our sto k will
increase, and may stand at 400,000
bales by Ist April. Further, one great
cause of the excitement in the spring of
last year was tho extremely small ship
ments from India appearing on the water,
hut we believe that the crop will be ex
ported more rapidly from India this year.
The price in Bombay is now 250 rs. against
140 rs. last year, and the consequence is
that the new crop is uow being hurried
down to port. Last year at this time
business in India was paralyzed; we there
fore expect by tho month of A; ril to see a
much larger quantity of India cotton on the
water than last year, and altogether a con
siderably greater visible supply of cotton,
and this cannot fail to have a modorat ng
effect upon prices. * * * * *
For these various reasons we consider the
present price ot cotton quite high enough,
and we do not see much ground for antici
pating an upward tendency in the spring
months. Nor, on the other hand, do we
see much room for decline, and a range of
lOd. to lid. for American cotton seems to
be fairly justified. Os course, if the
American crop falls short of the figure we
have named, the position is stronger, pro
tanto\ and if it exceeds it, vice versa. Sup
ply and demand are too nicely balanced to
allow of any disturbance without a sharp
effect on prioes.”
Thus, what they predicted and what
actually took place, are as follows:

Such predictions for 1869 and such re- j
suits since, we think fully confirm our opin
ion that operations based upon apriori j
reasoning such as that indulged in by these j
trade circulars are most uncertain and
dnneerous. In fast if the present system j
of time bargains by bears ar and bulls is to j
continue, there can be nothing expected ;
but violent and frequent fluctuation* such
as those on the Stock Exchange, when in ;
most eases the interest only of brokers is |
served. If anything would tend to deter
merchants and manufacturers from indulg
ing in this reckless trading, it is the ex
perience of the past year. At the open- ,
| mg of the American season for 1868 69,
I the estimates put forth were of the most
J extravagant character, ranging from
2,500,000 to 3,000,000 bales and over.
Upon such extravagant notions very heavy
: bear sales were made in this market (chiefly
] by Manchester and London operators,) ana
; which resulted not only in most serious
losses to them but as the 1 sales were made for
| December, January, February and March
shipment, it enabled the holders iu
America to a great extent to exact their
own terms, and hence the quotations
weekly in New York to lay cotton down in
j Liverpool were throughout the year sotne
| times considerably above those current
here, with the exception of September 16
, October 14, and Peeember 2, when there
was an apparent profit to importers of |d
; per lb. Titus serious loss to importers
i who sold on ‘'bear" contracts was the re
i suit; and there can be no doubt that the

Tnis season we find the same folly of en
•ering into enormous bear transactions
; based upon extravagant estimates of the
crop bas again been the order of the day,
and, considering present rates, compara
tively as low as last year. This desire to
bear the marker originated with, and we
have no doubt was much intensified by,
the high prices current in August last
produced by an impending famine, and
which was only averted by the sudden
closing of the mills and a reduction of i ear
ly 300,000 bales in the taking for consump
tion and exports in a very short time.
The “bear sales” of A merman cotton the
past few months are, we are wall informed,
quite equal in extent to those of the same
period in 1868, and as regards Indian cot
ton some very heavy sales for December
and January shipment have been made,
which may give much trouble to the sell
ers to provide, seeing that the shipments
from Bombay are not over 26,000 bales in
December, and from the crop being fully
six weeks late and the stock of old cotton
;u India 150,000 bales less than last year,
they are not likely to be large in January.
'J has the game, we fear, has been again
played into the hands of the Americans
aDd East Indians, who are ready at all
times to make good use. of their oppor
tunities, and knowing, as they do, by tele
graph, of these enormous sales of cotton
uot actually visible at the ports, are en
abled to exact their own terms for the ne
cessary supply.
VVeareledto make these remarks by
the appearcnce, in the Manchester papers
only, this week, of a circular from the firm
we have above alluded to, in which' they
again prognosticate the future ofcotton.and
from which we extract tho following :
“The general conclusion we draw is, that
the available increase of cotton supply for
the year 1870 will be fully 750,000 bales,
and that two-thirds of this—say 500,000
bales—may be fairly expected to come to
England. Perhaps it should be stated,
by way of reservation, that if a heavy fall
ot price occurred early in the year it might
somewhat alter its distribution, by detain
ing some portion in the producing countries
but we believe that even 10 J. for America
and Bd. for Surat cotton will prove tempt
ing enough to clear out the producing coun
tries. There canno. be a doubt that the
prices now current yield an extravagant
profit to the grow'er. It is not supposed
that the present crop in America costs the
planter more than 12 or 14 cents sold at
the ports, whereas he bas received thus far
24 cents per lb. On the other hand, 7d.
per lb., sold in Liverpool, would amply re
munerate the grower in India; so that
there is large room for decline before the
inducement either to grow cotton or to
send it forward is seriously abated. The
question of price will depend upon the
consuming power of this country, and how
spinners act in buying the raw materia!
“ Ibis leads us to the second branch ot
the question, viz; the probable state of
trade in Lancashire. We start with the
great advantage of having consumed 170,-
000 bales less in 1869 than in 1868, which
implies a corresponding diminution in the
supply ot cotton goods existing in the
world, and we have no doubt that the
present activity of Manchester is mainly
owing to that cause. The news, from In
dia and China is certainly the reverse ol
encouraging, but from the “mailer miscel
laneous markets, and especially the home
trade, there is a good general demand,
which acts powerfully in tho aggregate.
Wo believe this general demand will be
fairly maintained throughout the year if
tho price of cotton gradually declines. We
look cspec ally to heip from the home
trade. That great branch of the market
is undoubtedly reviving under the influ
ence of better cinployme t for the working
classes and very cheap bread ; and there is
a vacuum to fill up in it caused by years of
short supply. We see ,io reason why the
p.ouuctioo from 55,000 bales of cotton per
week should not be sold profitably, if the
price oj cotton is moderate. The consump
tion of 1868 averaged 54,000 bale* per
week ; last year it fell to 50,000 bales per
week, and we expect it will rise this com
ing year to an aver ige of 55,000 bales per
week. But we scarcely think so large an
increase of production can be profitably
disposed of with a higher average price
for cottor than lOAd tor Middling Orleans.
The average of 1869 waa 12fd per lb. Can
we expect a reduction of 2d per lb., or ful
ly 15 percent, this coming year? We
think we can. Our estimate of supply as
sumes an increase available for England
alone of 500,000 bales. Om-halfof that
would feed the augmented consumpt.on,
and the other half go into stock, leaving
us with 700,000 bales in the two ports at
the end of the year, unless part o: it '“as
held by spinners in the shape of increased
stocks at their mills.
“Taking a nearer view of the future, we
think that the natural tendency of the
market will he to decline in the spring
months, as the visible supr ly will largely
increase compared with the previous year.
The import of American cotton was very
small in the early months of last year;
this year it will 6a very large; the stocu
ran down in the early months of last year,
reaching 236,000 bales on th.e Ist April;
this year it will probably increase, and may
reach 509,000 bales or more by Ist April;
last spring we were supported by strong
accounts from India that the crops were
deficient, this year will have the damping
influence of a heavy Indian crop looming
in the future. Against these various in
fluences it will be difficult for our market
to hold its ground if the trade actcautious
ly ; but it may be that the decline will be
very gradual in face of the novel spectacle
of a healthy state of trade in Manchester,
for of late years an improvement of trade
has been usually the signal for a start in
our market, and it will he some time be
fore people reconcile themselves to the un
worn ed sight ot cotton declining while the
spinner is doing well.
“We now estimate the emsumption of
the kingdom at 55,000 bales per week,
which is about the maximum figure it has
a'tained since the commencement of the
American war. A continuance of thor
oughly good trade for a twelvemonth
might perhaps raise this figure to 58,0000 r
60,000 hales per week, for there is a good
deal of machinery still standing idle thrt
would be gradually brought into play ; but
there is every reasou to believe that a
much lower scale of prices for cotton would
require to prevail before so great an in
crease in the production ol goods would be
taken off by the markets ol the world.
‘‘We would remark, however, that these
views are dependent upon the American
crop sustaining our estimate of about 2J
millions. Should this be erroneous, and
receipts fall to about the level of last year,
no doubt spinners would buy largely for
a time, and probabiy advance prices some
what; but we believe . the prospect of a
large crop from India will loom up more
and more as the year goes on, and prevent
any pcimancnt advance even upon this
supposition. The course of receipts in
America the next few weeks will no doubt
settle the question."
Wo have here given a very full extract
of M ssrs. Sm’th, Edwards & Co.’s circu
, lar, issued on the Ist instant, and what has
! struck us most orcibly is that it gives the
! views of one side of the question only, and
not with that candor which has previously
characterized them both. They assume
first that the incoming American crop will j
be 2,75(),000 bales, and the India crop so 1
much larger as to give fully 500,000 bales !
i more cotton to Great Britain in 1870 than j
last year—viz: 400.000 more from Ameri
■ ca, and 100,000 from India, and, with such !
, a supply, that the average price of Amcri
i can cotton this year ought to be 2d. per j
1 lb. less than last year, or 101 and. per lb., as !
i against 12|J. the average or 1869
To believe in these predictions as rc j
1 gards the future of cotton as above stated, |
we shoulu, like them, have to forget and ;
I ignore—first, that, even supposing the in- :
j coming American and East Indian crops
to be large enough to yield 500,000 bales j
mors in 1870 to Great Britain than in I
j 1569, 100,000 American of' this increase j
! have already been dealt with, and also j
there is a present deficiency of fully 150,-
000 bales of old cotton in India as compar
ed with this time last year, and which to a
great ext?ot accounts for the recent small j
shipments thence and the high prices cur
rent Besides this, the cotton crap of
China is this year an admitted failure, which ;
will require larger supplies from India to |
’hat country; and recent telegrams from j
Bombay report from several reliable
sources that the cotton crop is fully five
weeks late, and that the Or.nrawuttee and
Hingeohaat crop is seriously damaged
Thus, the few items here enumerated,
which those who prophecy lower prices
have en’irely overlooked, may ere long
; materially alter the aspect cf the cotton
! market.
No one would rejoice more than our
l selves to see a lower scale of prices
legitimately arrived at for cotton, for we
■an see no prospect of a return to a healthy
1 «tate of trade in Ltncashi e until that'
’ takes place. W e sre. however, fully alive
’ to the folly of unduly depressing or raising
prices by the issue of extravagant state
ments, which may suit interested parties for
, the time, be they ‘‘bears'’ or "bulls,'’ but
which are oertain to create a reaction, thus
1 by producing and continuing violent fiuo
tuations, tend, as they have done in the
past, to materially injure those engaged in
the trade. At present the quotations
from America and India are considerably
above those ruling here, and indicate great
confidence in the future of cotton: and
we, therefore, consider we are acting wise
ly in advising spinners and manufacturers
not to be led away, as they often have
been, to expect much lower prices, and
then be caught with large orders accepted
for doth for future delivery, and no cotton
to cover. It is a game that has often been
j played upon them by interested parties.
Past experience wil l enable them, we trust,
to avoid it in the future.
Whenever we shall, year by year, see a
gradual extension in the growth of cotton
1 equal to supply the spinning machinery of
, the world and leave an increasing surplus
at tho end of the year, then we may expect
a return to a lower scale of prices; but
spasmodic attempts to create plenty by
“bear” operations are, and ever wil! be,
j dangerous and injurious to all engaged in
■ the cotton trade.

The Market. —In our list report the

Tuesday, the increased receipts on one
hand and the better news on the other
caused some irregularity. Sales 2,476-

Liverpool quiet. Sales 12,000, Yester
day the market closed dull on reports of
large teceipts at New Orleans. Sales 1,465
at 25fc for Middling. Liverpool steady.
Sales 12,000 bales.
During the week our prices have re
mained steady at 25 pc for Middling. Liv
erpool closes |d higher than on last Friday,
with sales of 104,000 bales, or 19,000 bales
more than were reported daily. Spinners
have taken from that market this week
73,000 bales. Here the attention of the
trade is wholly directed to the course of
the receipts, while in England, owing to
the improved prospects of the home and
foreign trade, large receipts at the ports
have not had the usual effect of depressing
the market.
Receipts. —The receipts this week were
swelled by large arrivals at New Orleans,
part of which were due there last Friday.
Mobile has fallen from 11,347 bales
to 6,457 bales this week, and by
some this is attributed to bad roads.
The exce s at that port is now 50,-
546 bales, aud considering the large
amount of Alabama Cotton sent East by
rail to the Atlantic ports, tho falling of is
natural enough. D tring the fourteen
weeks, from 29. h January to 30th April,
1869, inclusive, Mobile received 64,238
bales, or an average of 4,588 bales weekly.
We bardly expect to see so great an aver
age this year.
The stocks in the interior towns,
which, on the 7th January, were
45,411 bales over same date last year,
were on the 14th January only 36,400
bales over. By telegrams received by us
this morning, the stocks are about 23,000
bales more than in 1869.
We have seen, this week, a number of
the annual Liverpool circulars, giving re
views of the past year and the prospects of
trade and supply lor 1870. The general
opinion seems to have settled on an in
creased supply of from 650,000 to 750,000
bales. Under this expected increase, it
was thought that prices should rule about
to lid. for Orleans.
The exports of plain Cottou Goods to
India ami Chma show a reduction of 164
million yards for the year ending 16lh
Doc., 1869, compared with the same time
1868.
The average price of Wheat had been
48s. 5d., against 545. in 1868, and 645. lid.
in 1867.
Receipts and Exports.— The receipts
this week have been 95,399 bales, against
80,783 bales the corresponding week last
year, and the foreign exports 50,625 bales,
against 33,100 bales in 1869. The totals,
so far this year, can be seen in the tables
given above. The following table will
show the totals at each port:

IN MKMOItIAM.
Died at her residence in EdgefioUt Dis
trict, South Carolina, ou the 10th instant,
Sabah Q. Hammond, widow of the late
Col. Leroy Hammond, in the eighty
seventh year of her age.
“So let us live that when the dread
summons come” we may, like her, have
our lamps trimmed, ready for tho coming
of our Lord, and with her may we hope
to receive the naluta'ion, “Well done thou
good and faithful servant,”
Os mature age, her years have not pass
ed like an idie dream—doiug good to none,
teaching no lesson, 1 jading none to g orify
and magnify the God who made her and
sustained her-but her more than four
score years were filled with acts of charity,
of love, of usefulness ; and by her pa
tience during the years of feeble health,
God saw good to afflict her with, and in
her triumphant death has sh .- vorified the
Scripture, “Blessed are the dead vvli 1 die
in the Lord.”
Extensively known in her State, her
strong intellect and indomitable will gave
her an influence over all with whom she
was thrown, while her heaven-born
charity, of which too much cannot be
said, endeared her to taoseshe influenced.
She dispensed a most generous hospi
tality, and to her well-filled board aud
friendly hearth all—friend, stranger, waj*-
farer—received a cheering welcome. We
cannot dwell ou the many excellent
points of her character (those who have
known her know them full well), but we
would like to illustrate her as a bright
example of “one who loved her fellow
man.”
She leaves but one child to mourn her
loss, Maj. Andrew J. Hammond, of this
District, and he, by his life-long devotion
to his mother, has proved his full appre
ciation of her excellent worth. To him we
extend our lull sympathy, and with him
we mourn, but not as those without hope.
She rests from her labors.

* * * My son was taken violently sick with diplheria,
cold, chills, bunr-ng fever and sore throat. I counted one
morning ten liitle veeiclos in his throat, very white, and his
tongue, toward the root, just like a watermelon, full of
feeds, the remainder coated as thick as a knlfe-biade. So
many children have did around here, I was afraid to call a
physician, and thought I would try your Fa n Kil er for a
gargle, with small do3“s inwardly. I did so, and found the
garble invariably cut off the vesicles, and he raised them
up. often covered with blood. He was taken on iJuuAw.
n Wednesday histh-ort wascle-r, and h.s tongirtj rapidly
tearing off. I ateo used it as a lin'meub, Vith castor oil and
arrshern, for his nee. It secinel to me a wonderful
cure, and I sail but with it could he known to the many
poor mothers in our land who are loosing jo many children
oy this dreadful disease.
I have found your Pain Killer ooe of the moot va.u.ib’.e
medic ne> ever in Bormah. Once I was stung by a
very iarge black scorpion j the lain was indescribable. I
immediately applied the Pain Killer Uor I never travel
without it) and aiain, and in half an hoar my foot

Messrs. Wm. H. Stark A Cos., Savannah, Ga.:
Gentlemen:— Yours of the 3d inst.'is receivi 1, aud, in reply, I will inform you tljat
last Spring 1 purchased one sack o! Merryman'- Raw Bono Phosphate of you. I used
it on Cotton. I prepared my land in the usual' .'ay, that is, I broke or Hushed it with
a turn-plow, I run off my rows with a scooter-;- ow, three feet three inches, and spread
the Phosphate just thick enougti for the sacß (LI7 lbs-) to go over one acre of land. On
eaehsideof it I prepared an acre, on one side l used a Sack (200 lbs.) of Soluble Pa
cific Guano. Up to this time the Cotton is all do ng well, it is in a flourishing condi
tion, heavily boiled, the weed all about the san i size, say from two auda half to three
feet high. I believe that Merrvmau’s Phoaplu nis a good matiure for Cotton, and,
taking tbe price into consideration, it is equal, i not superior, to the Soluble Pacific or
Peruvian Guano. I shall want, next Spring, eo tons for mvself and two for my sen,
J. H. Perry. Yours, very respectfully, J. D. PERRY.

Messrs. Pollard, Cox <S Cos., Agents, August Ga.:
Gentlemen ; —I used Merryman’s Raw Bone Phosphate upon a portion of my Cot

sider that my crop was at least doubled by usis .. it. The season was very unfavora
ble, and no fair te it could be made with any Fertilizer.
Truly vours, R. R. BECK.
