BallImore Manufacturers, Renord.


The growth of tobocco manufactur-
ing in Abingdon, Va. as told to the
Manufacturers Record by MIR. f. B.
Hurt, of that town, few days ago, is
very interesting. About eight or
nine Years ago Lynchburg tobacco
manufacturer conceived the idea that,
as labor was very cheap in Abingdon,
it would pay TO establish a tobacco
factory there. Acting upon this idea,
he did 80, and for while purchased
the leaf tobacco in other sections.
The country around Abingdon had
never, up 10 that time, been regarded
as having the proper soil for producing
tobacco, but few farmers concluded
lhat as there was factory in opera
ton they would see if they could not
raise tobacco. They succeeded SO
we'll that since that time the tobacco
crop, tributary to Abingdon, has about
doubled every year. From one fac
tory. buying Its leaf tobacco in other
sections, the business has grown till
there are now some nine or ten fac
tories, and even these can't begin to
handle all the tobacco that seeks
Abingdon as a market. In the last
five years the population of the town
has doubled.
All through the South towns are
growing up like this. Like Abing-
don, however. many of them are re-
stricted in their business by the lack
oil banking capital. Notwithstanding
the great increase in business and in
population since the establishment Of
the first tobacco factory III Abingdon,
there has been no increase in the
ban king capital of the place. The
stock raisers alone could use every
dollar that the Abingdon banks can
lend and pay s to 10 per cent. interest.
They are the old customers of these
banks Their business has been
steady and prosperous one for years,
but they often need considerable
money so as to hold their stock for a
good market II they were, however,
permitted to use all the funds OF the
banks, the manufacturers and mer-
chants would be entirely without
banking facilities. TO avoid this the
banks of course have to do the best
they can for all classes. Speaking Of
these things Mr.. Hurt stated that the
banking facilities were totally made
quate to handle the business of the
town and adjacent country. He came
to Baltimore to call the attention OF
the big tobacco manufacturers of this
city to the enormous tobacco crop OF
this year, and to induce them to pur-
chase some of their leaf tobacco in
Abingdon. Capital to handle the
crop and purchasers to buy it are bad
ly needed in Abingdon.
There are dozens, some say hun
dreds, of Southern towns in which
trade has far outgrown banking facili
ties, and in which all business interests
must suffer on this account. Here
are openings in abundance for the
profitable employment of capital. 1t
il, too, line of business in which cap
ital is welcomed, and against which
Southern legislators have not attempt
ed to display any hostility as has been
done against railroads.

YOm Kippur.
Tribune and Sun.

The Democratic party in Tennessee
needs day in which every Democrat
shall forgive his brother Democrat all
political offenses and forget the differ
ences OF the past. The IsraelItes OBJ
serve "Yom kippur," or The Day OF
Atonement, as the most important
day in the calendar, and on that day
they forgive each other all differences
that may have arisen among them.
The Democratic party should observe
this beautiful example of charity, and
the lesson of unity and strength which
ii so forcibly impresses upon the "pe-
culiar people" who play so important
a part in the history of the world. 1t
has been long time since the Demo-
cratic party in Tennessee commenced
the internecine war which has b9en so
destructive of its splendid post belluna
majority, and if ever an organization
needed day of forgiveness, a general
wlping out of old scores, the Demo
cratic party certainly needs it at this
time. Now we propose that next year
when the party meets in convention,
that we make it political "Yom Kip
pura day, and put the unhappy past
behind us. We want to see the old
Andy Johnson Democrat, and the
fiery Wilson Democrat, and the earn
est Greenback Democrat, and the lofty
RUSSELL Democrat and the Old Guard.
all come together and shake hands
over the new made grave of dead is
sues, and go forth to meet the enemy
a happy, united and Il conuuering
brotherhood. What say YOU, gentle
men? Is your magnanimitv equal to
your patriotism? Can YOU concede
honest convictions 20 others as Won
claim them for yourselves? Tennes-
see, true TO Democracy through a
quarter Of century of national disas-
ter, should not fslter in her allegiance,
now that the National Democracy is
entrusted with the administration Of
Federal affairs. In this supreme hour
when the party is on trial before the
country, the voice OF party faction
should not be heard in the party coun-
ellis. Tennessee Is in danger OF drift
ing INTO perpetual war OF factions,
uch as exists Ia The New York Democ-
racy, and 1t hehoOves the true friends
of the party organization, in this State,
to work to the accomplishment of a
real and substantial harmony that
shall proceed from the heart and en-
dure beyond the necessities of single
canvass What say our brethren of
the Democratic press? Your united
efforts will assure the result Tennes-

They Call 1T an Industry"

The liquor-traflic is no longer a SEN
timental, but practical business ques-
ton. Hear what the Glasgow (Ky.)
Star SAYS on this point: Let us talk
awhile, if you please, about facts. Neal,
Craft and Ellis went into a saloon that
paid the State $50 license to sell whis-
kew; they then filled up on the damna-
bic stuff, and with brains erazed NAY
committed rape, arson, murder, and it
cost the State of Kentucky 100000 to
prosecute them. Deduct the $50 and
see upon what side the profits run
lively business Twelve men at Jack
son, Breathett county. got drunk in a
licensed saloon, walked across the
street and murdered the County Judge.
1t cost Kentucky $4,000 to bring them

talk about its being a paying, enter
prising business, even so far as to cali
