TO SUBSCRIBERS. 

 We earnest!}^ ret[uest that you vrill read our 

 " Terms'^ at least once a year, and always before 

 writing us upon any subject connected with 

 your paper. We frequently receive letters con- 

 taining remittances, and others requesting dis- 

 continuances or directing a change to other 

 post-ofiices when the office to which the paper is 

 sent is not named. Such omissions occasion us 

 a great deal of trouble, and it not unfrequently 

 happens that your wishes cannot be attended 

 to in consequence of your neglect to conform to 

 this standing request. 



Remember always to name your post of- 

 fice when writing about your paper.

 In reply to numerous enquiries on the sub- 

 ject, we state that we can furnish the " South, 

 ern Planter" bound, at $1 50 per volume, post- 

 age included. 



GENERAL NOTICE. 

 In accordance with the notice given in a pre- 

 vious number of this paper, we commenced 

 with the July number to drop from our list, all 

 sbscribers who are in arrears for three years 

 r more, and shall continue to do so until the 

 first of January next, at which time we intend 

 to drop all who are then in arrears for two 



years and upwards. But in doing so we do 

 uot intend to relinquish our right to collect our 

 dues from such delinquents, but -shall send out 

 their accounts regularly or place them in the 

 hands of Agents for collection. We do not de- 

 sign to adopt strictly the cash system, but we 

 desire to approach as near to it as possible, and 

 wish our "Terms" which are printed conspi- 

 cuously in every paper to be understood by all 

 our subscribers. They arc as follows : 



TERMS. 



One Dollar and Twenty-five Cents per 

 annum, or One Dollar only, if paid in advance'. 

 Six copies for Five Dollars ; Thirteen copies 

 for Ten Dollars — to be paid invariably in ad- 

 vance; and to them we mean strictly to adhere 

 with this variation only, subscribers who owe 

 for two years, or $2,50 and remit, $5 will be 

 credited for two years of arrearrages and three 

 3^ears vsx advance. We think no one who in- 

 tends to pay can object to this arrangement. 



BILIOUS FEVER IN COWS. 



We are sometimes applied to for a remedy for 

 this disease. Not the murrain or distemper, 

 and not infectious, but sure to attack cattle 

 brought from the mountains or any lower point 

 in Piedmont to tide water ; and very apt to at- 

 tend a removal from any of the lower tier of 

 Piedmont counties to a still lower locality in the 

 same district. 



A friend in Amelia, who suffered greatly from 

 this disease, which in fact attacked his cattle, 

 raised upon his own premises, has obtained a 

 preventive which he thinks infallible, and com- 

 mends through us to the public. 



It is simply to keep a mixture of salt, saltpe- 

 tre and sulphur always accessible to the stock in 

 a trough, which is well tarred, and kept so. The 

 mixture is to be in the proportion of one gallon 

 of salt to a tumbler of sulphur and a tumbler 

 of saltpetre. 



So confident is our friend of his remedy, that 

 he offered if we would buy a cow from Albe- 

 marle, at any season, to pay for her if she died, 

 provided we kept her supplied with his preven- 

 tive. 



As September is the worst month for the dis- 

 ease, it is now just the time to try it. 



Possibly it might be well to commence with a 

 smaller proportion of sulphur and saltpetre at 

 first, until the cattle shall become accustomed to 

 those ingredients.
