Tobacco Market-The New system OF Curing
W.. The Old.


Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.l
SOUTH Boston, January IL. 1885.
Fine seasons have lately visited us,
and the tobacco market has resumed its
usual activity. During the past week
our streets presented lively appear
ance, and all the warehouses were well
filled almost every day. About 20O.-
600 pounds, at an average price of ten
cents. were marketed during the week
an enormous gain over the receipts of
last year for the same season.
The tobacco sold here prior to Janu-
airy LIST was, in the main, of very poor
quality, being generally last cuttings
and the most inferior portions of crops.
There is noticeable a very decided inn
proyement in the quality Of our breaks
since the beginning Of the new year,
and as the season for selling advances
they will no doubt continue to improve.
The quantity of bright tobacco sold
here is rapidly increasing every year.
This, in a great measure. is accounted
for by the fact that planters, realizing
the great superiority of the tobacco
cured by fues over that cured by old
methods, and stimulated and encour-
aged by the high prices it commands,
are every year disregarding more and
more the old systems of curing with
wood, coal, and air, and adopting the
new fue-curing method. Without mean
ing to institute any invidious compari-
son between this and other markets,
friends of South Boston will be graft
fed to learn that prices paid here com
pare fayorably with those paid else
where, and consequently the territory
of our trade is constantly increasing,
now embracing portions of six coun-
ties in two States-viz Halifax,
Mecklenburg. Pittsylvania, and Char
lotte, Va, and Granville and Person,
n. c., composing one of the finest and
best tobacco-growing sections in the
world.
Heretofore only about four millions
of pounds have been sold here in any
one year, but this year the trade conf
IDENTIFY expects to increase the sales to
at least six millions pound, and hope
to go beyond that. Facilities for hand
ling large stocks are greater with us
than ever before, there having been
built recently six or eightlarge prizeries,
besides great additions to old ones. We
have now in successful operation three
plug and twist-factories, and it is hoped
this number will be increased during
the present year.
Our banking facilities, which have
been considerably taxed by the large
business transactions of the town, will
soon be increased by the opening of
new bank.
DEATHS.
Mrs. Daniel Merritt died last week
near Black Walnut. She had reached
the ripe old age of ninety-odd years.

Business at the coal-mines at Poca-
hontas is, find, very much improved.
The output of coal and coke is con-
stantly increasing, and the operatives
seem to be well paid and contented.
Beginning a mile below Pocahontas,
the Norfolk and Western Railroad Com
pany have constructed so far four
mile line which taps the Flat-Top mines,
in Mercer county, w. Va. These mines
are owned by foreign company and
the Messrs. Straley, Of Princeton, and
from them also large shipments are be-
ing made. The road follows the line of
Bluestone river, which empties into
New river near Hinton, on the Chesa-
pcake and Ohio road, and opinions diff
fer as to whether it will eventually con-
meet with the Chesapeake and Ohio
either at Hinton or Coal river, west OF
Charleston, or turn westward and tap
the Kentucky system at the Peach Or
chard, to which point the Chatteroi road
is completed. From the fact, however,
that further contracts are being let on
the Bluestonc route ] think the direct
route to Kentucky not probable.

In the southern States large num-
Der Of the iliterates are negroes, and
we have always held that the General
Government, having invested the ne
gro with all the rights and privileges of
citizenship, it was its prime duty to
assist in qualifying him for an intelli-
gent exercise of these rights, and this
assistance ought to have been contem-
poraneous with his reimbursement.
If. instead of sending troops to the
South ostensibly to protect the negro
in his rights, but really and practically
to aid the carpet-bag and scalawag poll
tcians in abusing these rights /; if the
northern papers and politicians, instead
of bowling over real or imaginary
southern outrages, had eXerted
their influence in securing means
fer the enlightenment of the poor negro,
he would to-day be much happier,
wiser. and more useful citizen. This
obligation to assist the South in edu-
eating the negro we regard as the chief
foundation of a claim for aid from the
General Government. This, coupled
with an overlooking Treasury and the
principle that what affects one part Of
the body polite affects the whole, ought
to silence objection from those more
fortunate States which, having a smaller
illiterate population, will receive only
small portion of the benefit.
The amount given each State ought
to be made part of the common
school fund of that State, and controlled
and distributed by the regular State
officers, subject, Of course, to the con-
ditions and purposes set forth in the act
of Congress authorizing the gift. The
terms of the act should be so clear and
explicit as to leave no room for a posi-
bic conflict between the State and Fed
cral Observation-Disclosures Monitor.
