DAMAGE TO CROPS.
News was received to-day Of very de-
structlve storm in Johnston county, near
Clayton, Saturday. There was a cloud
burst which almost wiped out crops on
so ne farms. Strange TO say. the North
Cmolina railway was the boundary Of the
storm. On one side Of the road not drop
Of water fell, while on the other the level
fields We're foot deep in water. and the
cotton was actually covered. On lands
with any slope the crops were washed
bodily away. The cloud was not Il large
or particularly threatening one. but 1t pro-
duced such a storm as the people IN john
ston county never before saw. The light
ming struck a handsome residence at Clay
ton and made kindling- wood of the portico.
while It paralvzed young lady who was
in the building.
The weather q intensely hot. Yesterday

Strong Protest Against the Proposed IN
crease of Duty Thereon.
rBy telegraph 10 the Dispstch.l

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, June 23.-Sigo Ny
ers. secretary and treasurer of the Cigar
Manufacturing Company of this city, has
sent TO Senator Call letter strongly. pro-
testing against the passage OF the TOBACCO
section of the tariff bill now before the
Senate. He calls the Senators attentlont 70
the vital importance Of the matter TO ms
constituents. and urges him TO put himself
on record by boldly showing up the lOlly
of the policy. He says that the, proposed
increase in duty on Havana tobacco VIII
almost completely annlhDate an INDUSTRY
of the State. Mr. Myers also says: ms
is certainya a case where protection does
not protect. IL does prOhiblblt 22,0OO man
ufacturers Of cigars in the United States
from deriving profits which are justly
due and belong TO them, and forces
our money into the hands Of foreign manu-
facturers. Ii prohibits. also, five million
smokers from exercising their choice NJ to
the quality of the cigars they prefer. ihose
who are accustomed to smoking Havana
filed and wrapped cigars viii under no
circumstances descend to the strong, rank
taste and smell of the Pennsylvanla-flled
and wrapped cigar. They could buy import
ed cigars at less money than we could AFFORD
10 place Havana cigars on the market. The
tobacco OF PENNSYLVANIA, New ork, Con-
necticut. and Wisconsin would go down in
price instead of advancing, because the
enormous rate Of g per pound duty
on Sumatra tobacco would put cigars
at too high a price in proportion
10 the quality of the filler. Again, pro
lection Will not protect because the crop
of domestic tobacco never contains suifi-
cient green leaf TO wrap the crop; and
again we would be forced to use imported
tnacco as wrapper" The letter says the
section Is impractlcable because If there
is n single wrapper found IN any bale Inn
ported, the whole bale becomes 0utlable at
q per pound. and unjust because Il one or
two or dozen leaves out of hundred
pounds of tobacco are suitable for wrap
pers then the importers must pay $500 duty
instead Of S35. adding -l65 to the cost OF
the bale without in any manner increasing
tho merchantable value of the goods. The
consequences of the - duty would drive
every small manufacturer out of business
and brlnp IL INTO the hands of a few.
