TO THE TOBACCO PLANTERS
-OF-
North Carolina and Virginia.
Q
We offer for your use on the Spring Crop of Tobacco of 1892 our Standard and
reliable Fertilizers : SPECIAL COMPOUND FOli TOBACCO, and OBER'S
STANDARD TOBACCO FERTILIZER.
The Special Compound for Tobacco has been submitted to the practical test of
nearly twenty-live years, and we confidently recommend it, as in every respect adapt
ed to the successful groth of Tobacco of superior quaiity, combining as it does, every
element necessary to the development of the plant.
We are satisfied that no other Fertilizer, through this leng series of years, has
produced such good results, as has been accomplished by our Special Compound for
Tobacco.
To meet the wants of those Planters who desire a lower priced Fertilizer than
nnr Snecial Compound for Tobacco, we have introduced the present season our new
brand of OBER'S hTANDARD TOBACCO FERTILIZER.
This is essentially the same as our Special Compound, and, although not quite
so rich in Amonia and Potash, is a strong, reliable Fertilizer, and in every respect
adapted to the suceessful growth of Tobacco.
Vre have always preserved the high standard of our manufactures, they contain
h lar s percentage of Pure Animal Bone, richly Atnmoniated, and with the requisite
ainouat of Potash. Nothing is used in the composition of our goods but the very
best materials. i
We wish to impress this fact upon your minds, that under no circumstances
have we ever reduced the quality of our brauds. Our gaods are the same today as
thev have always been. As in the past they have produced good crops of superior

" An experience of 33 years in the manufacture of Fertilizers has convinced us
that Tobacco requires a stronger manure containing proper proportions of certain
elements of Plant-food, thin is necessary to be used in any other crop.
Tha seasons of 1890 and 1891 were exceptional ones, and almost any stimulant
to thtsoil although not lasting in its effects, and not permanently enriching it, pro
duced for time fair crops, but this was no test. In other years, under less favorable
conditions, the crop when low grade goods are used, would probably be an entire
failure We think it economy to use the best.
The permanent improvement of the soil, is a point which should not be over
looked Good Fertilizers are lasting in their effects, and enrich the land, the poor
er Q-ialities are exhausted in the effort to produce a single crop.
We have recent information from Planters who used our Special Compound for
Tobacco last year, and they report that when the crop was green and growing, they
rould see but little difference between the plants on fields where Compound was
nPri and those on fields where lower grade goods are employed, but later on, when
tiiA rroo matured and was cut and cured, they found that the Tobacco made with our
Compound had more body, better face, cured brighter, and above all was worth more
mnuMtrSerour meaning, we give the following estimate, showing the results
fmm the use of strong, reliable Fertilizer, such as we manufacture, as compared
with those obtained from lower grade goods. For example take two brands estimat
ing the cash value delivered to the Farmer, say at $24 and $30 per ton,
Snnnose vou make a crop of medium value, say $15 per 100 lbs., and assuming
that with the best standard Fertilizer, you make over 100 lbs. Tobacco more per acre
by its use, and sell the Tobacco for $1 per 100 lbs. more money, the result would be
aa follows : , ,
700 lbs. Tobacco to tne acre uiauo
use of High Grade Fertilizers, at
Ann lbs Tobacco to the acre made from the
600 lbs. looacc Ler FenilizerS) at
$15, $105 00
$15, $ 14 00
Deduct excess of cost of 1 ton High Grade Fertilizers, at $30
oyer 1 ton lower grade good at $24,
$ 21 00
$ 6 00
Balance in favor of High Grade Goods, - - - - $ 15 0
Thus vou perceive, you will realize $15 more per acre from the use of High
Grade goods such as we off er you, than you could obtan by using the lower grades.
Thi? w consider a moderate estimate, and we believe that during a series of years,
embracing favorable and unfa orable seasons, the difference has been much greater.
ThMiSr Grade manures making more pounds to the acre, and producing a much
iinw fof Tobacco from which was realized more than $1 per 100 lbs., over and above
the pace obtained from Tobacco grown gggf18-

Ras. Walker, a sixteen-year old
son of John Walker, a prominent
farmer, who lives near Smith Grove,
Davie county, committed suicide
on the 22nd by shooting himself
through head with a shotgun. No
cause is assigned for the deed.
Young Walker had. been plowing all
day. He tied his team in the after
noon and told his brother to watch
them until he returned. He then
went to the house, got a gun and
placed it under his chin and dis
charged it with a stick, tearing
nearly all of his head off.
Under the old law, by which each
brand of fertilizer paid $500 tax,
there were seventy three brands sold
in the State. Under the new ton
nage tax system 348 brands are on
sale. It is said that some manufac
turers want the gates opened so they
can come in and sell, and that they
chafe under the law which protects
the buyers by requiring the fertili
zers to be up to standard. The old
firms which sell goods like the pres
ent law and desire it to continue.
It is, as they know, a protection to
them and to the consumer at the
same time.
Rer. T. W. S. Parker, of the
Pleasant Garden circuit, near
Greensboro, has attempted to preach
like Sam Jones, indulging indulging
in a very abusive style, and J. C.
Neeley, one of his flock, jumped on
him about it, and beat him up pretty
badly. According to the Greens
boro Patriot, an indignation meet
ing was held at the parsonage of
Pleasant Garden, to denounce Nee
ley for striking the preacher. Nee
ley accused' the preacher of abusing
him in his sermons. D. G. Neeley,
brother of the fighter, in a card,
gives samples of the preaching :
"Show me a dozen Christians in this
church, and I will show you as many
saints as there are squirrels and rab
bits in the woods a.nd old fields
around here." "If all the members
of this church were to die now, nine
tenths of them would go right to
hell." "You are the worst people I
ever saw." "Any little thing can be
a daddy, but there are only a few
fathers," and many expressions more
shocking still.
The Signal, State organ of the
Republican party, in its issue last
week publishes a nine column review
of the proceedings of the late State
Republican Convention, denouncing
it in unmeasured terms. J. C. L.
Harris, its editor, has for some time
been at outs with the party, claiming
that the revenue officers were in full
control, and has expressed his inten
tion to expose the manner in which
the convention was conducted. In
glaring headliness he char
acterizes the proceedings as "Das
tardly Damnable and Devilish." and
charges that credentials for dele
gates were manufactured by fraud
and forgery; that tate Chairman
Eaves was openly charged with dis
honorable conduct and made no
denial or defense; that delegates
were bulldozed and forced to vote
for Eaves, and lastly, he says that
the rjroceedinsrs of the convention
were a sham and disgrace inflicted
upon the Republicans of the State, j
and that the Republican party is j
utterly and forever destroyed. This
will doubtless prove a bomb-shell in
the Republican camp.
