The Tobacco Question.

Experience, the best Of teachers, is fast
convincing Southern Maryland farmers
that tobacco culture no longer pays. Oc-
casionally, it is true, we hear of a planter
having received Il paying price for his
crop, but reports of this kind are yearly
getting rarcr. That the cultivation of to-
baccD does not pay" has become almost the
universal verdict of the growers. Why :
,nany reasons are assigned, and not the
least frequent OF them is our inspection
Law" Very few farmers can be found
who will not subscribe Ia the belief that the
present Act is failure, and many think
that the old law is the best we have
ever had. Under the present system the
buyers have everything in their own hands,
and, like all other combines or trusts, may
be trusted 10 see that the profits do not get
into the farmers pockets. We have seen
these gentlemen virtually say TO State In
spectors: "Your deputy's samples don't
suit us. Turn him down or we will not
buy tobacco sampled nj your house" The
inference Is, that the reason the deputy does
not suit is that he pays too much attention
60 the farmers interest in the matter II
he erred on the buyers side there would
most likely he no complaints. And So it
goes on and all the time the tobacco
grower gets poorer and the tobacco buy
er richer. There is 4 demand for Ma
ryland tobacco and with fair show its
growers could reap a profit by supplying
this demand. Under the present system Il
would seem that they have not fair chance,
and unless the question be agiiated by
them they never will have il. Under the
old law, tobacco sold better than il does
now, and if we returned 20 the old system
with its Supervisor 10 overlook the Inspec-
tors we might better things. We would
hardly make them worse The Supervisor
could assign 70 the different warehouses
their quota of hogsheads and thus DO away
/ with the electoneering now in vogue.
There are many other ways in which such
an official might be made to earn his salary
and benefit the farmers. Present indica-
tions are that farmers will soon see either
{ the sale Of their warehouses or = return TO
the old system.

A Wedding as Rockville.

A special to The Ame1icaR from Rock
vile says:
AT an early hour Wednesday the parlor
Of DIR. Charles J. Maddox. Of the town, pre-
scented a scene Of beauty seldom witnessed
in the rural portions Of the state. The
occasion was the marriage Of Miss Mary l..
youngest daughter of the late Lemuel
Clements, of this country, and Mr. Lee
OfTuu, third son of Nicholas d. Offutt, one
/ Of the most prominent citizens Of Rockville.
The bride, modest and popular beauty,
! wore white gown Of iaille franchise, en-
train, with pearl passementeries, tulle veil
fastened with a spray of lillies-of- the-valiey
and carried bouquet of white roses. She
was attended by Misses Lullie Ofutt, the
groom's sister (wearing pale green China
silk; Mat Barry, of Baltimore Tin light
blue silk; Lizzie Prettyman lin cream silk
and Annie Maddox lin yellow satin and
| tullel as bridesmaids. The groom, a hand.
some gallant in the early blush of manhood,
was supported bp Richard r. Beall as best
man, with Robert Peter, Thomas Vinson,
Alexander Kilgour and Paul Combs (oi
Leonardtown) as ushers. The entrance OF
the bridal party through different doors
and from different directions, was as unique
and graceful as it was novel, and when
resting in front of background composed
of every variety of evergrcens and flowers,
and sparkling with lights, presented a
picture Of unusual aitractiveness. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. Father
James +. Mackin, of ST. Matthew's Church,
Washington, ID. G. After the congratula-
tons the doors to the dining room were
thrown open, where handsome spread OF
every delicacy Of the season, amidst pro
fusion of flowers and lights, awaited the
guests. The presents Were handsome and
numerous. Among those who graced the
occasion was the widowed mother of the
bride, who was Miss Abel, one of the old
cavalier families of st. Mary's county. At
$40 the happy couple started for the East,
where they will make short stay"
