Columbia December 3 improved Sulphuric Acid Chambers that they can produce the'r solvent Just as cheaply Competition this year has tended to raise the standard of all fertilizers and the Inspector is lnclned to believe tbat the rady means now furnished by hla anaiytls has contributed to this by the facility it extends to criticism and comparison of actual values The formulas adopted by the various companies vary according to the wants of different crops but as we have only one great staple the major ty of fertilizers should be manufactured with a view to its especial nourishment There is little doubt in the minds of those who have given the subject serious consideration as to the predominance required for any given element of fertility as Amonla decomposed Phospha'e of Lime Potash Ac but the Inspector waives an opinlcn lor tbe present upon the peculiar adaptability of any peculiar substance to the want of the cotton plant He only states facts that are intended for me guidance of tbe farmer in his preferences It Is a siu(y for him to compare and test fertilizers on his own lands and make bit choice accordingly The nature of the soil oftener than is generally imagined Influences these results It woild save much time and more money if the larmer was thoroughly acquainted with the de-nclences of his soil In which ne is to conduct his practical experiments Chemical and physical analy- sis alone can accomplish this i we should be humbly thankful for the Divine dispensation which has furnished our little State with such an immense supply of that Invaluable substance wh ch has helped to raise this ppbere from aridity to the condition of a living world teeming with life and beauty Nations have grown great and disappeared The fcuperflclal histoMan caa trace their fall to the overjrrowh of surrounding people the Ignorance ot multitudes or the despotism of usurpers The Phi- loeopber who has watched the changes that countless sges have produced on the cbem'cal and physical history of the gkb can see in these political catastrophes the Inevitable rssult of violated law The 'plunder eystem" of agriculture tha had prevailed drove the tillers from tbe soil into voluntary exile and Report of tb Phosphate Iniptctor The following is the report of the Inspector of Phosphates which has been handed in to Gov Scott and which will be transmitted to the General Assembly during its present session: lb Excellency GottE Scott: Within a few dajs after my appointment to the position of State Inspector of Phosphates I received ihe hearty operation of manufacturers and agents for tne Bale or commercial fertilizers bat only the partial support of the Phosphate Companies engaged in river mining under license from the State The Klver and Marine Mining and Manufacturing company in

instructions denied me the exercise of authority delegated ty tbe Legislature for the protection of the most va Ua We hit er sta of the State As the state Auditor was the proper legal officer to enforce the provisions of the charter and to sustain me in the per form an ce of my duties Ireqiested his co-eperaiion and approval After some delay he took crucial cognizance of my written and verbal communlcati'jiis though ia an unsatisfactory manner for while lauding my zeal he pra vented lis exercise by declaring he wonid be content if 1 would report to him tae returns of tne Marine an I Klver Phosphate Mining aud Manufacturing Company as made at the Custom Houses at Caarteston and Beaufort In spits of this indifference I used every effort to carry out tbe letter and spirit of the law until
