PLAN TING, GROWING, CURING &
HANDLING FINE TOBACCO,
Ready rloney Crop.
l~THEAs

To THE FARMERS OF LAWRENCE
CouNTY.-Believing that the time
has now come when the farmers oi
Lawrence County must diversity
their crops. And that what il
most needed is a ready money crop
The interest manifested by oul
Farmers in this matter has en-.
couraged us to do every thing in
our power to increase the interest
already awakened, and to secure il
possible the planting of large
acreage in tobacco this year, To
this end we have gathered from
every source the most soliablc in
formation as to the best methods
of planting, growing, curing and
handling fine tobacco. The fullest
and as we believe. best and most
ineligible advice on the matter is
to be found in the circular issued
by the Raleigh Tobacco Board OF
Trade, of North Carolina, which
We give in full.
There is one thing we would i'm
press upon the farmer. lie need
not hope to succeed, and it would
be better he should not attempt
the growth of tobacco, if he is not
willing to follow the advice given,
industriously and intelligently,
there is no crop which depends for
its best qualities SO largely upon
its handling. and statistics will
show that no crop SO well rewards
the care and attention bestowed
upon it. We trust these instruc-
tons may prove useful auxiliary
to your own Judgement in cultiva-
ting a crop this seas on,
SEEDS.
The very first thing necessary
TO make good crop of Fine To-
baccO is to secure pure, standard.
thoroughbred seed. This is some
times hard to do, and we have
taken this work OH ourselves and
procured a sufficient quantity to
enable us to, free of charge, supply
our friends with the best seeds and
with the seed in your hands, the
next important matter is the selec-
tion of u place for and the prepa-
ration of your
PLANT BED,
which should be made as early as
possible, between the first of Janu-
ary and the first of March. in a
well selected spot of virgin soil,
exposed to the sun, moist and rich,
OF sandy texture. and protected on
the north and west by growing tim
bcr or rising ground. Such q spot
can he found in wooded hollows,
at the foot of hills, and near to or
alongside some water-course, far
enough away, of course, to avoid
overfowing. This spot should be
well burncd,by pltting down over
the bed, about three or four feet
apart,poles the size of a mans arm,
to keep the wood off the ground.
The burning is intended to destroy
all animal life and vegetable mat
ter. and when these poles arc burn
cd away, as rule. the bed has
been sufficiently burned. After
burning, rake off the ashes, cover
the ground well with stable ma
nurc, hoe up the bed thoroughly,
and make it fine by repeated hoe
ing and raking; then mix the to-
bacco seed, using one and one-half
table-spoonfuls to Il gallon Of sift-

of the Acquisition of The Island by the
United States.
HAVANA. Aug. 12.-I.a Lucia has an cd >
itorial commenting upon The opinion ex-
pressed by Senior .,lg;;sta. the Spanish
Literal, in an interview that the cortes
ought 10 vote financial credits for the gov
eminent, as he believed in the possibility
of Il war between the United States and
spain. Ia Lucia says it is natural to
suppose in view of affairs actually hap
psning which are neither honorable nor
satisfactory. and which are even humili-
ati!r, that moment may arise when
Spain will have TO break off relations with
the nation acting and conducting its
affairs in such a manner and awaiting
itself of futile pretcxts for doing so. 1t is
n god system of politics, the paper says,
for Americans, but it is unpleasant to
Spain interests and sense of honor.
Logical Deduction Is War.
n logical deduction from the situation,
the article says, would be war between
spain and the United States. Spain would
Tot be content o withdraw her represents
tive from Washington as an act of pro-
test. The national pride would compel
more adequate measures, or popular senti-
mcnt would proyea source of probable dam
ger 10 the highest institutions. La Lucia
believes that whatever may be the result
Spain will take serious steps in view of
the actual circumstances, not only on the
rebellion in Cuba but of war made with
imDunity by material aid coming from
the United States.
