Prosperity of the Tobaoco-Growing In
dustry.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2s.-The to-
bacco- growing industry in this state is
about to undergo wave of prosperity.
according to J. D. Culp, prominent to-
bacco-grower OF San Felipe, Santa Clara
valley. He CLAIMS that California is
bound to become one of the best tobacco
producing states in the Union. Recent
ly he bought the matter to the attention
OF the committee on new industries of
tion. Messrs. Esberg, Plagman, Lewis
and Sultan have been appointed COM
mittee to interview local manufacturers
and ascertain what can be done to de-
velop the industry. Mr.. Culp says he is
already making big shipments of leaf
tobacco to- Eastern manufacturers.
Some time ago an English syndicate
offered him $500, 900 for his plant and
his method of curing the leaf.
In speaking of his experience in rails
ing tobacco on California land Mr.. Culp
said:
"While I consider that it would be folly
to attempt to raise cigar tobacco on
some of the land of this state, I am con-
WINGED that California can become first
among the tobacco-producing states. A
conservative estimate IS to the amount
of tobacco grown in this state per acre is
1000 pounds; reasonable price for it is
% cents per pound, and liberal allow
ssnce for handling, growing and shipping
would be 500 per acre, leaving balance
in favor of the grower of $3.50 per acre. -

ent in public affairs whose nomination.
would be SO thoroughly in accord with
public opinion, both outside and inside
of the approving power of the senate,
as that of ex-Secretary Whitney.
1t is singular fact that upon the lips
of almost every one asked here in Wash
ington for their opinion as to who might
properly be Secretary Gresham's success
sor, the reply is whitney, or s.ex Sec
retary Whitney" or ''ex-Secretary of
the Navy Whitney" Mr.. Whitney is a
Yale college graduate. He has been.
unerring in his lines of social obser-
vances, and left Washington with a
kindly glow of general benevolence, good
will and a remembrance of superb
Anericanism behind him. He is look
cd upon from this center today as the
most desirable successor to Mr.. Gresham.

Is needed by pastors and sessions. A
good rule would seem to be to vitalize

new agencies from an impulse of SEN
mentality, or, the rivalry of mere

But Waile we have efficient and suf-

Tor organization for men, The men of
our church, as class, are falling to tha
rear of the great host of God in both
service and benevolence. This occurs
largely because they are not organized
into associations as the women are. We

it Will receive consideration. AS sta
tistics show the probability that the
proportion of males to females, in the
American Protestant churches, as a
whole, is about two TO one j. e., the

modern life; or a naturalization that
unable to find God, ignores Him; or
butterfly life that hardens votaries,
gradually but inevitably aginst all re-
ligious impressions, and leaves the
South with only an earthly horizon; or
a secularity converting business into
an occupation whereuntO all else be-
comes secondary. But Christ our Lord
says, according to your faith, be it done
unto you; so that, for the power and
vision Of faith these mountains can be
removed also.
The outlOOk-The wheat and tares
go together, but the wheat persists and
the tares perish. The prayers of the
church are heard, and her aims have
gone up for a memorial before God. @In
trOublous times she not only endures
but prospers; an open road stretches out
into the distance before her The ben
ediction of grace, mercy and power fills
her with the fulness of God. The
Master bids her take up the cross and
follow Him. With this command in her
ears, she obeys cheerfully, with sol
emn JOY, and a purpose not born, of
earth, to follow, both here and in the
hereafter, the Lamb, whithersoever He
goeth.
