!i-eeVeA llolu quincy. ILL.,
This is the city of the great Dick Bros.
Brewing Company, the Secretary OF which
recently wrote to the liquor men in New
York that the $500 Illinois license system
does not Lessen the consumption of
liquor" and that 1.-The tra.4e should not and
reasonably will not objett to it," The stat
lstlcs OF the saloon business in the city
show toat the testimony OF the Dick Bros.
Brewing Company regarding the harmless
ness OF the high license law TO the liouor
trade is amply sustained by the official
books.
The fiscal year ends on the first Monday
OF April. The figures that have obtained
from the City Collectors Office show that
during the last year Of low license, ending
IN April. 1884, under license fee of 500
there was an average of 15l saloons paying
a revenue OF $4,000. During the latest
complete year of high license, ending
April, 1887, the number of saloons aver
aged 10 and paid total revenue of $751;.
700. While the license fee is five times as
large as before and the revenue has nearly
quadrupled, the number of saloons has
been reduced only ne-fourth. This de-
crease has in no way restricted the drink
ing facilities in Quincy. but the enormously
increased revenue has greatly strengthened
the grip of the saloon system upon the
community. And the tendency is toward a
steady increase in tue number of saloons.
For the year ending April. 1876, there were
only 402 quarterly licenses issued. while
for the year ending April. 1857. there
were ABS, and for the current wear there
have been already 421 quarterly licenses
granted.
The high license act has not brought the
slightest Improvement in the observance of
law by liquor dealers or in the enforce
ment OF law by the authorities. The law

them away permanently having failed,

peck or more of corn he soaked it thor

lie soon had number of crows eating
the doctored corn, and as they didn't fly
away to observe the effect of the dose.
Ho found every crow drunk, some lying
over on their sides, others tottering
around in a maudlin attempt to fly. He
could have killed every ono, but re-
solved to wait the outcome of the
drunk. Gradually the birds recovered,
and one by one flew unsteadily away.

DIR. j. b. o. Landrum, of Spartan
burg county, writes as follows to the
Department of Agriculture:
81 find after all that the planting of a
small tobacco crop pays handsomely, if
nicely handled. L am now selling my
tobacco in the neighborhood and sur
rounding country very readily at 10 to
10 cents per pound, and will soon have
sold all have on hand.
"Let me give you little of my expe-
rionce in tobacco culture. In 1885 J.
planted five acres. WAS short-sighted
in sowing enough seed for plants. / had
plants, but the trouble was L could not
got them big enough for early setting,
henco L had to resort to begging from
every source. 1t was not until about tho
last Of May that got all the ground
(Which YVES newly cleared, we'll rooted,
we'll pulverized and well manured) set in
tobacco plants. Many of these died out
owing to the heat of the sun, notwith-
standing [ shaded them, and some of
those that lived were caught by the
frost and had to be cut before ripening
which L tried to hurry by cutting
through the stalk and peeling the bark
around the same. The consequence was
that my tobacco, especially the late
setting, was of an inferior kind, not all
being Of improved varieties. [ did not
take enough precaution to kill the tobac-
co flies, and [ had worms by the thou
sands. In spite Of all my efforts to ex-
terminate them they devoured my
tobacco, and good deal of it was ragged
and full of holes. / still went to work
with big heart; built q big barn and
bought tiues. L cndeavored to get man
to cure for me, but failed; we went to
work and endeavored to cure after Eng
lands method, and succeeded in getting
some very nice tobacco. AT odd times
l would stop and classify, and looked
anXiously for time to ship and meet
with remuneratiye return, which time
never came. l shipped to Durham, N.
g., about $50 pounds, prepaid the
freight, and was looking for handsome
return; when the return came 1 found [
had been cheated in weights, and my
tobacco had been bid off at 2 cents per
pound. 1t did not pay the freight. |
soon saw the trick. The tobacco boom
had flooded the markets, and the manu-
facturers could get all they wanted with
out bidding against each other. L was
| forced to keep all ] had on hand, and
sorrow over my folly.
Gin 1886 I planted an acre, but was
very careless in the management Of it,
being somewhat disheartened as to the
profitablencss Of the culture. | am con-
vinced, on reflection, that very small
crop will pay. 1t gives employment tc
hands when the ground is too wet fol
ether work. 1t gives employment after
the other crops are laid by, and work
for hands rainy days during tho winter
months in shipping, classifying, etc
