Tobacco as Affected BIZ Soils.
Nashville Arnari,,an


No plant is more sensitive to an ex-
cess OF water in the soil than tobacco
The presence of standing water, either
on the surface or in the subsoil, is poi
sonous to the plant, inducing disease
and rapid decay. A well drained soil,
therefore, is of first importance to the
tobacco grower.
The physical character of the soil
makes marked difference in the
character OF the product. With soils
of the same chemical constitutions the
one most highly pulverized will grow
the longest and finest product. H
A sandy soil will produce porous,
thin, light colored article, delicate in
its tissue, but coarse as TO fiber.
A heavy elayey soil gives greater
with more gum and oil in its tissues,
and with greater elasticity and small
er fihers. Nor is it so liable TO field
fire.
A light colored soil, whether sandy
or clayey, yields a product that will
cure to lighter colors than dark-col-
ored soil.
Alluvial soils, as general rule, pro-
duce leaf large in size, but bony,
coarse and harsh. g, s..5 -
Limy soils, or those derived from
the crumbllng down of limestone
rocks, yield product large, leafy, thin,
but highly porous, smooth and fine,
with very small amount of gummy
matter Upon such soils the cutting
leaf is mainly grown.
New hand makes a product that RI
pens rapidly, and when cured is light
er in color than it would be if grown
upon old land of the same character.
-aaOld, heavily manured lots grow the
strongest tobacco, thatirichest in nico-
tine, fullest of gum, thick, heavy, rich.
And when the subsoil is of a deep.red
ferrugeneous clay the product is apt to
have fine fbers. -.e7...,, -,
gray, fine sandy land, with
cream colored subsoil, poor in consti-
tuition, destitute of fumus, incapable
by reason of its poverty of growing
any other crop, is preferred for grow
ing the finest yellow leaf. Such land,
grown up in old field pines, chinqua-
pins and persimmons after complete
exhaustion by improvident cultivation,
has laid the foundation for the most
successful agriculture in North Caro-
lima and Virginia. The product from
such lands is often sold for from 5000
to $400 per acre.

Buried his Brother.

WILsoN, N. c., July William
Sands, aged 6years, son OF "A farmer
living near here, to-day murdered his
infant brother, aged three months.
The child bad been given to him to
hold, ,and he wentout i'm the sand with
it.. He had some time ago been taken
to. child's funeral and manifested
great interest in its burial, which he
did not seem to understand He has
frequently prattled about it recently
and asked many questions as 10 how
the child was got into the coffin, and
when it would come out.
4 To-day, when he reached the grove
about 800 yards from his fathers home,
he took small box which he hid
previously carried to the spot, and
after scooping out a grave in the sand
he placed the infant in the box, nailed
down the top and buried it, even GO
ing through the form Of delivering
prayer and singing a hymn. ~
After he had filled the grave he
stamped on it and slowly went back
home and told his mother what he
had done. He saidit awas just like
Mrs Arthur's little Ibabyssf funeral"
The mother fastened to the scene,
the grave was reopened, and the infant
found dead with its right arm broken
and its skull crushed.

II. Now and then tic oldest inhabitants
send UP Il sigh becallse the good old
days wherein large steamboats, plowed
1.-the Cumberland arc gone, and many
oi the younger inhabitants, hearing
these walls, imagine that the cause lies
ina reduction of water in the river,
and that tine channel is narrower and
shallower than formerly, when such
large crafts,ss the Talisman, Tyrone,
Red Rover, Highfiyer, ETC., ran regll-
lArly in our waters. Bit they are
mistaken. The channel Is deeper and
there is more water in the river the
year round than ever before. The
cause OF this lies in the TACT that as the
forest adjacent TO the river. and even
far removed from IL, becomes more
cleared the sol holds less water, and
consequently it runs into the river.
The reason, and the only one, Captain
Alex. Kendall says, that large boats do
not now enter the Cumberland river
is because there is not enough business
for them. In the good old days before
there was net OF railroads running
ers piled between Nashville and New
Orleans, and steamboating was pay
ing business. The very large steamers
used to deposit New Orleans freight
for Nashville at Cairo, ILL.,, and the
Nashville boats received 'SI.00 per 100
pounds for bringing. -the~ city.
The railroads now get most of the busi-
ness, and no steamboat runs to New
Orleans. The largest boats that come
up the Cumberland before the civil
war used to do good business as hign |
up the the river as West Point, nearly
200 miles above Nashville. There was
a great deal of tobacco raised up the |
