AT THE THEATER.
The Prodigal Father to Make It's Bow
in Savannah Tomorrow Night.

The Prodigal Father will be seen for
the first time by a Savannah audience to-
morrow night. The play is a production
from the Lyceum theater. 1t is a popular
play and will no doubt be seen by a large
audience. The story is simple. A wealthy
old geographer starts out TO explore At
RIGA but the day before his steamer sails
he meets with a diversion. in the shape
of a serio-comic actress. He straightway
gives up his scientific ideas, and tags after
her for six months. He receives no en-
couragement, SO gives up the chase Ar
rived at home. he tells his family OF mag
mary adventures in the Dark Continent.
Complications entirely unlocked for follow
him in scenes that are both ludicrous and
touches of nature. The company is made
up of excellent material. All are young
people, and, 10 judge from their style each
has a brilliant hstrionic future.

TO THE FARMERS OF
LAW RENEE co.

You have already no doubt,
learned of the movement to cncour-
age planting and cultivation of to-
bacco as a crop in this County we
wish to sui mt few facts to your
consideration.
The cream of your timber has
been cut and removed, and much
of the labor that has been employ
cd in the timber and lumber bust
ness must either return to the farm
or seek other fields of labor. with
this source of revenue cut off and
nothing to supply its place, the
county will each year become poor
or and your children forced to seek
homes and livelihood elsewhere
Cotton once furnished a money
crop but this crop can no longer
be successfully raised. We can not
raise wheat and corn proftably in
com pitition with counties when
twice the yield per acre at a less
expense can be grown. Something
must be done, some substitute
found.
We believe that tobacco is the
surest substitute.
1t is no experiment there is not
q man who knows anything of the
c3unty's history who does not
know that it has been grown sue
cessfully and proftably. But its
capacity Tor producing a high grade
of tobacco has never been thorough
| ly or even fairly tested, this we
propose to do,if we can get the CO.
operation of the farmers. We do
not ask you to make any large out
lays of money, or to labor for any
body but yourselves. You can
plant from one to three or five acres
of tobacco without even interfering
with your other crops, the princi-
pal work in its cultivation comes
at a time when your other crops
arc out of the way late in the sum
mer and early fall and the balance
of the time during rainy days. The
barnes in which it is to be cured
can be constructed on your farms
without ang expense except a few
feet of stove piping for flucs.
There is no crop that requires 50
small an outlay of money and so
little time to commence its
cultivation. Its yields Its return
each year. 1t is our purpose to adj
wise you from lime to time eth.
cl by written or personal instruc.

preparing for the Market. If you
will follow this advice we can safe
ly guarantee you, that you will re-
allie more money off the acre de-
voted to this crop than ony other
on your place and u better return

~ ponder over it; Are you wiling
to make an effort to better your
own condition? Are you willing
TO do something for old Lawrence?
then give us your promise to cul-
tivate one two or three acres of to-
bacco, and to do it well, 1t is our
purpose to make arrangements to
have a home market for every
pound that can be raised in thu
county ifs sufficient number of
farmers can be induced to grow it to
make it possible. Heretofore the
trouble has there'was nomarket
f, + the crop. We also propose to
furnish you seed OF the very best
varieties that can be had. In con-
clusion we would call your atten-
ton to the tobacco regions of North
Carolina and East Tennessee, a few
years ago they were the poorest
section of the whole south, the
people foIsaking it as rats q sink
ing ship. They commenced the
cultivation of tobacco, and now
they arc among the richest, most
prosperous sections, dotted with
thriving villages, and wealthy
towns. Salem Winstown North
Carolina is an evidence of this
marvellous development eighteen
years ago village of eight hun
dred people, low a city of sixteen
thousand, with thirty OF more to-
bacco establishments, all the work
of the past fifteen years. The same is
true of many other localities. There
is no reason why we might not ac-
compiish the some result if we put
forth the same energy, nterorise
and apply the some intelligence.
1t rests with the farmers whether
they will help Us to help them.
Respectfully yours,
