LONDON, Sept. 1.-Oficial figures is-

sign of abatement. There are
to-day in the Metropolitan Asylum and
London fever hospitals $3.50 cases of

Democratic revival was recently at

district OF Springfield, and in that par
ticular section known as JERSEY Noun

Democratic fold and wandered into the
Republican pastures. Two weeks ago
il was announced and advertised far

be organized at Cleveland school house

Democracy still possesses in this sec:

despair to rake together crowd. They
even circulated that Senator Faulkner
would be present, in the vain hope that
this might arouse the curiosity OF some
and induce them to swell the other

the meeting are as follows:
The first orator was John ]. Corn
we'll, editor OF the Hampshire Review,
who began by "shucking" his coat and
telling the people that protection was
responsible for the Homestead trouble,
and actually attemptedto make political
out of the present war in the Tennessee
mining country, forgetting to state the
simple truth that the convict labor sys-
tenn inaugnrated by Democratic state
government was responsible for the diff
ficuIty. He next tackled the "torce
bill" and got of the customary gags
about the sunny south, rights OF free

When the speaking was all done and

1. s., Apalachicola: If you had
commenced your letter by stating
what kind of land you possessed,
how it is located, where at, depth of
soil, what kind of sub-soil, etc., then
we would be in a position to much
better inform you about the sweet
potatoes you propose to raise. We
will impart some general information
to you presuming you have some
sandy and rich loan on your farm
Make your rows at least three and q
half feet wide and set plants "a inches

Write it up.

We make motion right now, if it
meets with second, viz:
Resolved, That prior to the meet
ing of the next Florida State Horti-
cultural Society at Ormond, May g.,
and S, President Adams and Secre::
tary Hart take it upon themselves to
employ a stenographer for that
meeting and that the three days'pro-
ceedings be reported and published
in full in pomphlet form.
We do this because there are so
many Legislators who do not know
anything about our society. We
must have something tangible to
show them. Further, we ask that
a committee Of five be appointed at
this meeting whose duty it shall be
to take a goodly number of these
copies and 60 before the legislature
in good shape-labor with the com,
mittee on agriculture night and day
until liberal appropriation is made
to print the proceedings of the 1898
meeting. Once started there will be
no further trouble. If the horti-
culturists Of the state come to the
front, as we think they will, at our
next meeting sufficient ducats will be
found in the treasury to do this work
in good shape. Let it be understood
that each member will be presented
with FIVE copies of the minutes when
printed.
1t would be good idea to elect
quite number Of honorary members
and their liberality and influence,
besides the love they have for the
noble cause, will materially aid the
resolution we offer.

A Tobacco Market.

One should be established in each
OF the towns in tobacco growing
counties of the state. The growers
should come together and urge some
one Of the good citizens to open the
same for the 1892 crop.
Any kind of building that contains
plenty of room will do.
Name it the leaf tobacco ware
house; make arrangements With the
farmers to deliver certain amount
on fixed sale day-then advertise
tie sale day among the buyers far
and near, giving them plenty of time
to reach the town and look around
for time before the sale takes place.
When the farmer hauls his tobacco
to the warehouse, place it in charge
of the warehouse-man, have it graded
(if it has not already been done)
weighed and placed against the wall
on the floor in separate piles. Each
pile should be tagged, giving the
grade, whether wrappers or filters,
name of the grower and number of
pounds 10 the pile.
When all things are ready call in
the auctioneer and have him
announce that the sale is strictly for
cash.
BY this method the farmer can
step up to the captains Office the
same day he hauled his tobacco in
and get the cash in his hand.
This is the way we have seen
thousands of pounds of tobacco sold
time and again and it is the only
legitimate way it can be done. By
this method no middleman can figure
in the transaction.
We sincerely hope the growers
will adopt this method or something
similar this season. Let's get right
down to Legitimate business.
Now is the time to agitate this all
important matter.
