. Gov. Vance said in. his Edenton speech
that he "had been charged with squeez
ing the fingers of women under fences, in
order to extort from them confessions as
to where their husbands were during the
war." There was a. man in Randolph
comity (we think he said Randolph) nam
ed O wen, who had brutally murdered an
old man in his own yard. The soldiers
did squeeze OwenVwite's fingers under
the fience to make her tell where the mis
erable murderer was, But as soon as
(-Tov. Vane heard of it he wrote to the
Solicitor of that Judicial District, and
directed hita to prosecute the soldiers to
conviction. This the Solicitor failed to
do. Who, -said Vanee. do you think the
Solicitor was 1 Why no other than Cap
tain Thomas Settle, Radical candidate for
Governor. The shouts of applause which
greeted this statement, shook the old town
of.Edenton in a way that would have done
Bill 411en's heart good could he have
been present. So, so Capt. Settle ! Is it
possible If you want to run a ' finger

ties of it this.se i son. The cheapness 'bf it
makes it the most desirable Fertilizer sold,

We, the undersigned, have used Harris' Em
pire Compost the past year, and take pleasure
in saying that it is ky far the best and cheapest
Fertilizer that we know ot. We intend to use
more largely- this season.

Clencoye, N. C, November 30, 1875.
This is to certify that 1 have used live tons
of the Harris Empire Compost this year, and
lind it equally as goodjf not better 'than, any
commercial Fertilizer I have used or noticed
used, even at the cost of sixty dollars per ton;
making an increase of about 100 per cent, on
stubble lands. X expect to buv more largelv
next year. F. A. ARCHIBALD. "
Pleasant Valley, Lancaster County, S. C,
November, 1875.
This is to certify that I have used Harris'
Empire Compost and afli very well pleased
with it, as it not only prevents rust, but as as
good as any of the high priced Guanos the
cost per ton making it the. cheapest Fertilizer
sold. W. D. HAYATT.
Greenville. County, S. C, 1876.
This is to certify that I used Harris' Kmpire
Compost last year on my ,and for Wheat, and
though I did not give it a fair trial, as I left
out one of the ingredients, but must ay that
where it was used my wheat was never belter,
and wiiere i did not use it 1 hnd that it m very
indifferent. I shall use six tons this Spring.
I consider the formula invaluable to farmers.-"'
Yours respectfully,
W. F. PENNINGTON

Messrs. Wilson Black Gentlemen : It
gives me much pleasure to state that I used the
Compost bought of you last Winter, and. must
say that I am highly pleased with it. I used
it on an old broom sedge field that yroulJ pro
duee. nothing, and must say the result is aston
i.sh ing.
1 consider it an invaluable compost, trod
just the thing needed to bring out our old
worn-out lands. Yours, very respectful lv,
Da.'j. F, SMYER.
Mecklenbui- -V Co., N. C, 187C.
I take pleasure in stating to mv brother far
mere all over the country that I ued. last vear.
Harris' Empire Compost, under both porn and
cotton, and the result was astonishing tq all njy
neignoors.
1 he rout was only one fourth of what 1 1 had
been paying for commercial fertilizers. ;
LENS HOOK.
Mecklenburg Co., N. C, J876.
This is to certify that 1 used Harris' Empire
Compost last year side bv side with several
commercial fertilizers, and I find that the yield
from Harris' Compost was one-fourth ! greater
and the quality better than any. It makes tb,?
cotton mature better, and, in my judgment, it
is preferable in every respect. The cost was
one fourth the price of high priced guanos, and
one ton will go over ten acres of land ?
Yours truly, D. C. ROB12SSOX.
