A Talk About Tobacco.

]. S. Cunningham, of North Carolina,
in paper written for reading before the
Farmers Congress, said of tobacco: II
live in a section of the country which is
famed for the production Of yello~-to--
bacco, and now offer to you some points
and -saggvstions in connection with its
cultivation. In the first place, the yellow
tobacco grower must have his lands
suited and adapted to its growth. 1t
requires peculiar soil, light, sandy
soil being preferable to all others, and
this Is to be found only in small area Of
our country. Those who produce it in
it's highest state must necessarily be
skilled, and especially careful, not only
in the cultivation of the weed, but also in
the curing and handling oft.
"There are thousands Of tobacco grow
ers who are going along, adopting the
usual methods practiced in comm by
one and all. but who never learn the true
science, or discover the key that unlockss
the door where the best methods and
means may be obtained to reach the goal
of their am bition. So it is necessary to
have the soil adapted to the growth of
yellow tobacco, to have skilled men who
understand the cultivation, the curing
and handling Of it, and curing barns and
we'll built and we'll equipped storage and
ordering houses 1t demands the most
careful attention from the time the seed
il soWn through to the sales floor. Un-
less this is done it will lose its great value
in a few hours. It must not ever be neg
lected or overlooked in the smallest
degree.
pered and made success in growing
yellow tobacco that, wherever the greed
for the moneyed crop unbalances the
wisdom of fhusbandry, the money crop is
q curse, but where it stimulates and pro-
notes the general economy of the farm,
it is the profiting farm. There are many
attendant evils to the tobacco grower,
such as droughts, frosts, long wet and
continued dry spells, sometimes failure
to raise plants and loss of curing and
storage barns by fire, while frequently
skillful handling of tobacco at the most
important juncture of the crop, and then
the inferior grade with which tbs market
is oyerrun and which commands only
low price is gathered. Despite the toll,
labor and many disadvantages attendant
upon the cultivation, the profit per acre
is greater than of any other crop. I have
seen a one-horse load Of tobacco bring
$500. over 60 cents per pound. During
this season noticed where farmer in
our State sold his tobacco crop of 30 acres
for $4,000.
"But the experience of myself and of
nv neighbors justifies me in saying to
YOU thas no one crop system will pay,
and that diversified agriculture is the
only sure and safe road to success. In
Lancaster, Pa, the richest American
county. by the census, the farmers, when
asked the cause of their prosperity, will
answer, Tobacco but it is not in itself,
but as the golden crown Of diversified
agriculture. e."-Philadclphia Ledger.

The Presby yterians Of the United States
had a notable celebration the first of this
week in the village of Hampstead, L. I.
1t was the two hundred and ,fiftieth anni-
.versary Of the establishment Of the first
Presbyterian Church in America. The
records preserved in this little commun-
zity youch for the claim that there one Of
the first sparks of religious liberty in
America was ignited, the light from
which served as beacon in the stSug-
giles Of the colonists to throw off the
demands Of the mother country. The
revolutionary spirit was demonstrated
on more than ORG occasion and the
records Of the Church are teeming with
deeds ofyalor and Of independence which
finally resu tied in separation from Great
Britain. From 1914 until the present
day the congregation has remained
intact. AT no period was there ever
wanting devotion TO the Church, and the
record is one of the most remarkable in
American history.

Blue Stone for Black Tongue.

To the Editor of the Nea0s and Courier:
Hoping to benefit someone whit may be
so unfortunate as to have siml,9r ex-
perience seat myself on this stormy
day to report an experiment. A few days
since was requested by a neighbor to
see sick cow, hoping that I might tell
him what to do for her. I went and
found the COW suffering terribly; it
seemed to be confined to her tongue,
which was in perpetual motion, and
was much swollen, so that she had not
been able to swallow in about three days.
Her mouth seemed to be full of saliva
aud was as offensive as putrid flesh.
From an experience with black tongue
long ago I suggested wash for her
tongue with solution of copperas. AS
we failed to get the copperas we used
blue stone, which probably was better.
had the cow thrown down, her tongue
drawn out and we'll swabbed with So
luton of blue stone, with instructions to
repeat it the next day, which they did,
and to nv surprise the cow is getting
we'll, is able to eat what Is given her. l
never saw similar case, and have no idea
of the cause, but I'm satisfied that the
solution of blue stone cured her, al
though it looked as if her tongue was rot
ten.
There has been some sickness in this
section and some cattle have died, but I
have heard of no other case of this kind.

A Miser's Death.

CuTHBERr, GA, October 12.-Mr. j.
II. Jefries, one of the oldest settlers OF
Randolph county, died of heart trouble
at his home, a few miles below Cuthbert,
last night. Jeffries was peculiar kind
of man. He lived the life of miser and
his appearance would not have indicated
that he was worth dollar in the world,
vet 1t was known by many that he was
worth several thousand dollars. II was
found out by some person that his wealth
was in ready cash and that he carried 1t
In belt around his waist. A few years
ago he came to Cuthbert, went home in
an intoxicated state, was waylaid by
some one and was relieved of $1,000 in
gold that he had about his person. He
has never been able to get any clue to
who the person was or to get his money
and this weighed heavily upon him and
no doubt hastened his death.

The Tariff Bill.

In the Senate just before adjourn
ment yesterday evening the republi-
cans achieved practically their first
open victory on the consideration of
the tariff bill when, by vote of % to
20, quicksilver was stricken from the
free list and placed on the dutiable list
at cents per pound. Messrs. Hill and
Morgan, democrats, and Messrs. Stew
art, Kyle, Allen and PETER voted with
the republicans to put quicksilver on
the dutiable list. The compromise"
amendment to strike iron ore from the
free list was adopted. Mr.. Jones, on
behalf of the democratic side, accepted
several amendments suggested by re-
publican Senators. The progress with
the free list was very rapid, 245 para
graphs about twenty-four pages of the
bilD being disposed of. Paragraph Cos,
salt, had been reached when the Sen
ate adjourned. Nine pages of the free
list are yet to be disposed of before the
administrative features of the bill are
reached.
One of the democratic Senators who
has constantly supported the finance
committee ever since the compromise
tariff bill was reported to the Senate
said yesterday: "There are a good
many things in the bill that will be
materially changed by the conference
committee. Coal will probably be
placed upon the free list, the sugar
schedule will be raised and duties on
manufactured goods will be reduced"
Having expressed himself in favor of
free coal, he was asked why he had not
supported Senator Hill in his effort to
make coal free. at was not" the Sen
ator replied, "the right time for such a
fight. 1t would have only prolonged
the discussion and probably have jeop-
ardized the prospects of the bill. The
time to correct the glaring defects in
the bill will be when it is before the
conference committee.

STORY OF MUTINY AND CRIME.-The
British bark Inverule, Captain Willox,
arrived at San Francisco yesterday, six
ty-four days from Newcastle, N. S. W.,
with most remarkable story of mu-
tiny and crime. Just before the vessel
left Newcastle man calling himself
DR.. Armitage applied for passage for
himself and wife to San Francisco. Cap
tain Willox gladly took them on board,
as his own wife needed the services of a
physician. About two weeks ago at
sea, Mrs. Willox gave birth to child
and Armitage otficiated as surgeon. He
used instruments in such manner that
the child died, aud the captain see
ing he was unskilled, ordered him away
from his wife. Armitage appealed to
the crew, telling them that the captain
was killing his wife. The crew, led by
the mate, mutinied, and the captain,
after being druggcd, was locked up. He
managed to get out just in time to see
his wife die. Several times he was i'm
prisoned by the crew, but he managed
to break out. Armitages real name is
Eustace Alexander. He is said to have
deserted his wife and baby in Sydney,
and fled to Newcastle with another wo-
man, where he joined the Inverule.
The bark, crew and passengers are now
in the custody Of the port warden, and
the police made arrests yesterday after
noon.
