WEBSTER’S UN VBRIDGEH DICTIOX
AUY.

lishers of this wonderful book, we will send

Unabridged Dictionary for SIO.OO. The
price of the Dictionary alone is sl2.oo—and
the Advocate $2 60—514.60. We will send
both for ten dollars. The money must ac

A NOBLE OLD MAN.
A Brother writes as follows : “Old Bro.
C. Wilcox, of Milledgeville, on being in
formed that he could get the Advocate from
his pastor for $2.00 per year, exclaimed that
he had always paid $2.60 for it, and he did
not want it for any less, for one copy was
sometimes worth that —it was food for
his soul. He said he had rather go hungry
than do without the Advocate.'’
SUNDAY AT EASTMAN.
Quite unexpectedly we lauded at this beau
tiful town, or city, on the second Sabbath
of this month. We had an appointment
near Bullard’s Station, on the Macon and
Brunswick railroad, and left Macon at 7:30
on the fast schedule just inaugurated, which
brought us to the station more than two
hours before the usual time on the old sched
ule —so that our good friend, Dr. W. O'Dan
iel could not meet us, as he would have done
but for the change. Then, as it was raining,
aud the prospect bad for a congregation, we
just got aboard the train again and were off
for Eastman.
When we reached the place the rain had
ceased to fall, and we found the people on
their way to church. Thither we bent our
steps and found the Sabbath-school in ses
sion. Notwithstanding the damp, cloudy
day, and threatening of more rain, we found
over forty scholars and teachers present.
The lessons over, aud the school closed, a
good congregation was present for preach
ing. The services are held in the court
house, which is a convenient arrangement in
the absence of any Church building. All
denominations use it as a place of worship.
It was what they called Baptist day, and Rev.
Mr. Waite was thereto preach; but when he
beheld the writer, (notwithstanding we tried
to hide behind a stove pipe) became forward
and urged us to preach for him. He gave
some good reasons why he ought to be re
lieved, and so we did our best to fill the hour.
The congregation was (pule intelligent and
very attentive, and we had a good meeting.
The first Sabbath was Methodist day, and
the people were expecting the new preach
er, Bro. E. M. Whiting, but he failed to
come. We know he had a good excuse,
and when he does C(fie he will make it
all up. He is a worthy man and a capital
preacher, and we know he will be pleased
at Kastman.
This place Continues to grow in interest.
New buildings are going up, and
the spirit of improvement is in no way upon
the wane.
Plans are on foot to build two churches
—a Presbyterian and Methodist church.
Major Armstrong showed us the plan of the
former, which is both neat aud handsome.
Oar people have a lot and the lumber all
ready, aud will probably build this summer.
After spending a very pleasant day, and
enjoying the hospitality of Msjor Armstrong
and his excellent family, we left for home,
and not without feeling that Eastman at no
distant day will be one of the points of
great interest in the Empire State of the
South.

We are often asked if, in making np clnbs,
all must be sent to the same post office. We
reply now, once for all, No. You may have
any number of offices in your circuit, so you
make up so many subscribers and send the
money with the order. No names entered
for premiums or clubs of any kind, unless
accompanied by the cash. Send in regis
tered letter, or by post-office money order,
or express.
THE ADVOCATE.
Let every preacher begin at once to can
vass for the Advocate. It is a necessity in
every well regulated Methodist family. Very
often the people do not like to take the paper
because they are not invited to do so. Try all.
If you Hud any who are notable or willing to
pay the full price, get them on the best terms
you can. Bui see to it that the Advocate is
generally circulated.
No other Advocate except your own Church
pap-r will satisfy you. You want the local
news and the artie'es referring to your own
immediate Conferences. Nothing else will
satisfy you so well.

GENERAL NEWS.
New York, January 11.—A largelv at
tended meeting of the Cotton Exchange was
held this evening, James F. Wenman, Pres
ident, in the chair. Resolutions were pass
ed condemnatory of the Bland silver bill, as
its passage would be injurious to the entire
cotton producing interest o* the country,
which is closely ail ed with the markets of
the world. It was the interest alike of mer
chant and planter and laborer that our stand
ards of value shou and harmonize wi h tbo e of
the principal commercial nation-t of the world.
They hailed with satisfaction the action of
the New Orleans Clearing House and Cham
ber ot Commerce, also of the Savannah Cot
ton Exchange, on the subject, deeming their
interests identical.
Richmond. January 11.—The heavy rains
for the past two days caused another rise in
the rivers. The bridge over the Staunton
river, on the Richmond and Danville Road,
which had just been replaced, was again
swept away, this being the third time inside
of two months. The iron bridge over tlie
same river on the Virginia Midlaud Rail
road, be! ween Lyqcbburg and Danville, was
also washed away. The bridge was destroy
ed during thegreat flood In November last,
and had beeen but recently repaeed. The
Roanoke river at Weldon, North Carolina,
is also very high, the water at noon rising at
the rate of six to eight inches an hour. The
railroad bridges at that point are threatened.
Nothing yet. has been heard from other
points in the Slate.
San Francisco, January 51. —The steamer
Belgic has arrived with advices from Horig
Kong to December 14 h and Shanghai to
December 15. There is no abatement of
the ravages of the famine in the northern
provinces. Vast districts are being com
pletely depopulated. There is no possible
hope of relief this year t r perhaps next.
The United Stales Minister had relumed
from Shanghai to Peking. Mr. Bradford,
late Vice Consul General at. Shanghai was
still in jail.
S’r. Loots, January 12.-—A delegation of
about thirty gentlemen, representing various
branches of business, left here this morning
lor Savannah. Ga., and will there join the
excursion to Havana, which starts from that
city the early part of next week. The ob
ject of the excursion is to open direct trade
between St. Louis and the various cities of
the South and Cuba via a steamship line be
tween Savannah and that island. The party
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.
will be joined en route by several delega
tions from interior cities of the South.
St. Loi is, January 13. — A dispatch from
Houston, Texhs, says Governor Hubbard
hvs written a three column letter to President
Hayes on border affairs. He goes into the
details of the cause of the Mexican raids,
and gives a history of the same for the last
twenty years, including Cortina’s capture of
Brownsville in 1850. The Governor’s spe
cific charges are —
First. It has been a depredatory war.
Second. That custom bouse officers have
been murdered, custom houses taken and
robbed; post offices robbed and burned;
hundreds of citizens killed and some tor
tured.
Third. Millions of dollars worth of prop
erty have been taken from Texas owners,
carried into Mexico and sold in the public
markets.
Fourth. Mexico has furnished an asylum
for robbers and a place of deposit for their
stolen goods.
Fifth. The Mexican Government has
been notified many times by ours of the ex
istence of these evils, but she has not res
trained her citizens and she refuses to per
mit the United States to break up the hostile
bands which commit, the atrocities, and has
declared an attempt to do go a cause for
war.
Six'h. She has refused to execute the
extradition treaty bv not surrendering raiders
who were themselves enemies to mankind
by breaking the jail of Star county, releasing
prisoners therefrom, and mortally wounding
our peace officers, and by turning loose fugi
tives under indictment for murder in Texas
and regularly demanded by our Commis
sioner of Extradition.
Seventh. She has afforded an asylum to
Indians, and permitted them to use her ter
ritory to set on foot expeditions to invade
the territory of the United States and wage a
savage warfare upon the people of Texas,
including within Ps Bcope every age and sex.
Chil iron have been eaptared in Texas, car
ried into Mexico and held as slaves.
Governor Hubbard asserts that Teaas
does not want war, but simply protection
from Mexican violence.
He charges that the San Elizariomob who
shot Howard, Mcßride and Atkinson to
death was composed largely of Mexican cit
izens. He says: “Mexico should make
amends for the crimes committed by her cit
izens ’
New York, January 14.—A special from
Norfolk, Va., says the trestle bridge on the
Allantic, MUsippi and Ohio Railroad is again
threatened by the flood in the James river at
Lynchburg to such an extent as to be dan
gerous lor trains to pass. This materially
injures the shipment of cotton and keeps
back about 7,000 bales for which vessels are
waiting here to finish their cargoes.
Washington, January 14.—1n the House
a resolution grauting the woman suffragists
a hearing at the bar of the House on Sriur
dav next was defeated ; yeas 107, pays 140.
In the Senate Mr. Edmunds, ofVermont,
submitted a lengthy amendment to the
preamble of the resolution introduced by Mr.
Matthews, of Ohio, before the recess, declar
ing the right of the government to pay its
bonds in silver, etc. The amendment sets
forth that the stiver dollar of the United
States had been lone obsolete when the ex
isting loans oi the United States were au
thorized ; that gold coin had been the only
lawful coin, and that, Congress should not
legislate to make money at the expense of
i's creditors : that it was the highest obliga
lion of the United States to pay its debts in
such coir, as its creditors expected would be
paid, and it would be unjust to compel them
or laboring men either to receive silver dol
lars or any debased money. The matter was
laid on the table and ordered to be printed,
the resolution to which it- is proposed as an
amendment now being before the Senate.
The Senate resumed the consideration of
the resolution of Mr. Matthews, declaring
the right of the government to pay its bonds
in stiver, and Mr. Bailey, ofTennessee, read
a lengthy argument as to the constitutional
powers of Congress in the regulation of
coinage, etc.
Mr. Eamunds’ resolution, as amendatory
to Matthews’ resolution reads:
“Be it enacted. That all bonds of the
United States issued or authorized to be is
sued by Congress, are payable, principal
and interest, in gold or its equivalent, and
that any other payment without the consent
of the creditor tvouid be in violation of the
public faith and in derotation ot his rights.”
CoLUMUl'rt, January 14,—Gcr-rnor
BisEop was inaugurated to-day in the pres
ence of thousands. The display of the mili
tary organizations was fine. The Governor’s
aduress is brief, ’urging economy and judi
cious legislation. There was no reference to
national finances.

question of bonding the city for two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars was decided to
day in the affirmative by the requisite two
thirds majority.
New Yokk, January 15. —A London spe
cial says: ' Another important and signifi
cant diplomatic incident has occurred. Cir
culars have i een issued from the French Em
bassy in London to all the French Consuls
in Great Britain and Ireland, charging them
to report exact information concerning the
popular feeling on the Eastern question and
intervention. This confirms the report that
France has interrogated Lord Derby in re
gard to England's intentions regarding Egypt,
it will be seen therefore that this action ol
the French Republic iurther complicates
England's relations with the continental
powers.”
Montgomery, Ala., January 16,—Samuel
Jones, and Wm. Street, tramps, have been
arrested on a charge of passing counterfeit
silver half dollars. Moulds and dies were
lound on them, arid proof made oftheir pass
ing spurious coin. The Commissioner com
mitted them to jail.
New York. January 10.—A special from
Norlo.k, Va., says; "The whole Roanoke
nver country has been laid waste by the re
cent floods and presents a startling scene of
d-vasiation. Those who have been up and
down the river say the farms along its course
for one or two miles back are nearly destroy
ed. Farm houses, barns and stables swept
away, and fences destroyed, all things por
traying the general ruin caused by the water.
The complaints of the furtnersar-’ heartrend
ing and real. The floocs Dave ruined them
and left them destitute of means to recom
mence life on their barren and wasted lauds.
The picture is a piteous one and must be
seen to be realized.
Hartford, Ct. , January 16.—An exsur-,
sion tram returning from the Moody and

COMMISSION MERCHANT AND DEALER IN
FERTIL.ZERS.
Charleston, December 1, 1877.
ROBSON'S COTTON AND CORN FERTILIZER.
This Guano is of the highest standard. It con
tains, among other valuable ingredients, 3 per
cent, of Ammonia, 114l l 4 per cent, ot Potash, and 16
per cent, of available Phosphate.
ROBSON'S COMPOUND ACII) PHOSPHATE.
These Fertilizers are compounded of the purest
materials, and are manipulated and tested under
the supervision of Dr. St. J. Ravenel, of this city,
whose name sives a warrant for fhei r high char
acter and adap ion for our soil. I offer these Fer
tilizers to P-anterg on the most favorable terms.
Tho-e ordering immediately will be allowed to
the Ist of April to decide who h they prefer, cash
or tirn . An order for a car load of eight tons will
be -ect free or dray age; bn* fir a less amount $1
per ton will be charged. On ore’ers for lnrge lots
from Grangers or dealers a liberal discount will be
allowed.
A good and reliable Fertilizer is a necessary
agency to ihe suece.-'tdul cultivation of -he soil;
whilst it is equally true that a worthless or inferior
article is a gross imposition upon honest industry,
because its use involves the loss of labor, time and
money. Whit the Planter wants is the best Fer
tiliz°r, and not the Fertilizer that costs the least,
as the lowest priced is oftentimes the most costly
in the end. Being convinced of the above from
my long experience in the (dua.no Trade, I some
years sit.ee determine i to have a Fertilizer pre
pare 1 under my own brand and guarantee, not a
new one, not an experiment, but one that has ior
years given general satisfaction.
1 taka this occasion to return mv thanks to
who have so largely patronized ihe Fertilizers of
fered by my, aim in soliciting their continuuncc
pledge ray best efforts to keep the highest standard
of Fertilizers adapted to Cotton and Corn.
