The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-03-23

A circular announcing the establish
ment of a United States ex-slave owners
registration bureau is being scattered
abroad. The Morning News called atten-
ton, locally, to it a few days ago. In the
circular the opinion is expressed that the
government will pay for the slaves with
in the lives of the present generation.
Every one is entitled to his own opinion
on that point. but in view of the fact that
the constitution of the United States pro-
hibits payment for the slaves it would
seem to be a pretty good opinion that it
will be several generations before slaves
are paid for, if ever.

Messrs. Crisp and Smith are proceed
ing in the most amicable way to make
arrangement for their joint debate in this
state on the financial question. 1t is to
be hoped that their campaign will pro-
coed in the spirit of friendiness with
which it is begun and that the audiences
win hear each argument to the end and
give the subject dealt with the most
thoughtful consideration. There are no
grounds for thinking that the meetings
viii go on in any except the most or
derby manner Still. it sometimes occurs
that narrow minded persons at political
mass meetings attempt to make trouble,
and howl down the speakers. Voters
are interested vitality in the having OF
this matter of the financial system set
tied upon a correct basis. The only way
they can come TO correct conclusions is to
listen patiently to both sides, and then
form their opinions.

Secretary of Agriculture Morton will
distribute something like 100000 pack
ages of seeds. He has advertised for them
TO be delivered ready packed. This does
not please some of the garden seed states
men. They wish him to buy the seed in
bulk and employ an army of clerks in
Washington to put them up in papers The
statesmen wish to have the naming of the
clerks who are to put the seed into the
little envelopes. Each clerkship is just
so much patronage to increase the i'm
portance of the congressman in the eyes
of place-seekers among his constituents.

The gentlemen who are interesting them
selves in establishing a cigar factory in
this city, mention of which was made in
the Morning News day or two ago. are
in earnest. and it is very probable that in
a few weeks all arrangements will be
completed and the plant moved here. The
manufacturer who proposes to come to
Savannah. states it is a better point for
cigar making than any place in Florida
In the first place the climate is equally
as good, and in the next the city has COM
mereial advantages that are superior to
any place in Florida. It is nearer to the
market for supplies and demand. Nearly all
tobacco, foreign or domestic, used in cigar
manufacturing comes from New York COR
other eastern cities), and New York is
the selling point for the greater part of the
output of the cigar factories. Savannah
is therefore a cheaper place to make
cigars as the freights are less to and
from this city than to points in Florida.

The silverite senators propose that the
territories of New Mexico and Arizona
shall be admitted to the union. Their ad-
mission would give the silverites four
more votes. New Mexico had a total
population of 153, 1853 in 1890, and has prob
ably not grown any since. OF the popu-
lation more than one-half are of Mexican
birth or extraction. Arizona has a pop
ulation almost as great as the city or
Savannah, which is made up largely OF
Mexicans and their descendants. The sill
yerites propose that each of these sage
bush territories shall have power in the

Alfalfa and Trees.

Alfalfa is winning it's way in many
localities to which it was not formerly
regarded as adapted. It will undoubted
~ prove great boon to pretty much all
the country west of the Missouri river,
and still farther west it is already the
chief reliance, without which live stock
growing under any other than purely
range conditions would be we'll nigh
impossible. East of the river it is also
gaining ground, and localities in which
it is reported to be proving successful
are every year increasing as experience
with it increases.
The experience contains some warn
ings, too, that should be needed, accord
ing to the Iowa Homestead, which tells,
for example, that in those portions Of
Kansas and Nebraska where alfalfa has
been successful for a considerable time
1t has occurred to great many to seed
orchards with it. This proved to be a
very serious mistake, for in only ordina-
rily dry weather the alfalfa robbed the
trees Of the moisture they needed, and
the would be fruit grower found him.
self without an orchard, but with very
good alfalfa field. The alfalfa is deep
rooted plant, going down into the soil
long distance for it's water supply and
requiring a good deal of it. When it
and the trees contest for supply that
is only sufficient for one form Of plant
life or the other, the alfalfa is always
the winner and the trees go to the wall.
It may be set down as a fact, reasonably
we'll established, that alfalfa is unsuited
for seeding an orchard except in locali-
ties where there is no question about the
suficiency Of moisture.

Propagating Strawberries.

When one pays high price for half
dozen plants Of new strawberry, he
wants to increase his stock as fast as
possible. The following are some of
the best methods to use.
Set the plants six or eight feet apart
in rich soil that has been we'll prepared.
After setting the plant cover the ground
all around it. to the distance of foot,
with stable manure two inches deep.
AS soon as the blossoms appear, cut
them off. Stir the ground frequently,
and water in dry time. Some liquor
manure in the water, to give it the color
Of cider vinegar, will be an advantage.
Pour this around the plant in the even
ing and stir the soil next morning. AS
soon as the runners are ready to root,
layer them so that they will run in all
directions. All that remains to be done
is to see that the surface is stirred fire.
quently, that each runner is layered
promptly, and that the plants are sup
piled with food and moisture By this
method over 1000 plants have been pro-
duced from one in season. 1t seems
simple enough, but not one man in
thousand has perseverance enough to
carry it out.
The following plan has some advan-
tages: Set your plants in a circle three
feet in diamete Then get barrel and
bore number of holes in the bottom,
and place it in the center of the circle.
This may be filed half full of manure,
and whenever the plants need watering
il is to be poured into the barrel. 1t
will come out as liquid manure. Pro
cure number Of three inches pots, and
where the runners are ready to root
layer them in the pots. If kept moist
they will be ready to remove, with
young runners attached, in three weeks.
These potted plants may be set where
they are to fruit, or they may be
allowed 10 run.

Egyptian Cotton.

The representative Of the United
States in Egypt made a special report
in regard to the amount Of Egyptian
cotton i'm ported annually into the United
States, and he suggests the propriety of
calling upon the farmers in this country
to experiment with this class of cotton
with view to supplying the home de-
mand in future. 1t is long staple cotton,
and requires a very rich soil to grow it
to perfection. Some interesting facts
regarding this most formidable rival of
Sea Island cotton are given in the
Houston Post, as follows:
A stalk of cotton is very small thing,
but the stalk Of Egyptian cotton In the
office Of Mr.. J. S. Daugherty, in the
Kiam building, is not small thing. 1t
is eleven feet high ,and literally covered
with bolls. The mere size Of the stalk
or the large number Of bols thereon is
not all there is to the stalk, however,
for just as large and fruited cotton can
be grown on the bottom lands of
Texas every season. But this partiou-
lar stalk was not raised on bottom land
and is Of variety of which this coun-
try imported 10000 bales last season.
In order to test the question of
whether or not the demand for that
cotton could be supplied by our own
people, Mr.. Dougherty imported a
quantity of the seed and had some
friends to plant it as an experiment.
The stalk here mentioned was raised by
Mr.. Anderson, of Trinity county, and
was produced on sandy soil, but from
reports received from other points this
cotton has done exceedingly well wher-
ever planted in the cost country, the
only exception being in North Texas.
L. IS highly CIR 4fting for Texans to
know that their state can produce this

TOBACCO AS A MONEY CROP.
The Tendency Is Toward an Increased
Acreage In the Southern States.

Acreage In the Southern States.
In nearly all of the southern states
there is growing disposition to engage
in the culture Of tobacco as a money
crop. There is no doubt about tobacco
being proftably raised in the south,
with warehouses and a market near by
the producer.
South Carolina is forging to the front
as tobacco growing state. North Caro-
lima, Virginia and Kentucky have long
been leaders in it's production. The acre.
age in tobacco has been largely increased
in Florida, and attention is being at
tracted to it's culture in Louisiana, Ten
nessee, Alabama and Georgia The
Southern Cultivator, which makes the
foregoing statements, also sounds note
of warning 1t says:
While the soil may be adapted to the
culture of tobacco and warehouses and
markets near by, it requires preparation
and experience to make it's culture profit
able. The farmer who engages in it's
culture should undertake it with eau
tion. 1t is as easy to score a failure in
it's culture as in that of cotton Or other
products. Do not have the tobacco acre
age too large.
The tobacco product Of the world is
estimated at 518, 400, 900 pounds of leaf.
A bushel Of tobacco seed contains 207,
100000 seed and weighs 80 pounds.
The yield from 100 bushels of seed
would be ten times the present product
of the world.

cotton, which was imported last year at
cost of IA cents per pound, when our
own cotton soil for five cents and less.
The fact that Egyptian cotton is needed
in the manufacture of balbriggan and
other fine cotton goods, and the narrow
limits in which it can be produced,
easily accounts for the difference In

WITH HAZEL SWITCHES.
How Twenty Thousand Dollars In Gold
Was Found Buried In Alabama.

How Twenty Thousand Dollars In Gold
Was Found Buried In Alabama.
Champ Cornelius was rich Blount
county farmer, who lived near Chepol-
topec before the war. When that con-
flict came on lie had twenty thousand
dollars in gold, which he buried in
pot on his premises. One night during
the war. while he was at home on a
furlough, a gang of robbers entered
his house and endeavored to eXtort
from him by torture the hiding place
of his treasure. They hung him up
four times, says the st. Louis Republic,
but each time when taken down he re-
fused to divulge the secret. The fourth
time they left him for dead, fired the
house and fled. A faithful negro
slave dragged his master out, but Cor
nelius died FROM. his injuries, leaving
the whereabouts of the buried Treasure
Il mystery. Yesterday three strange
men visited the place, which is now
owned by John Findley, and said that
as one of them was an adept in the use
of the hazel switch, with which to To-
cate streams OF water, gold and silver,
they desired to search for the missing
treasure, Findlcy to pay for all cost of
the search and all to share in the pro-
ceeds. Findley laughed at them, and
told them that they were free to dig
and keep all the gold they could find.
They went to the spot where the two
old chimneys, all that remained of the
decaycd Cornelius mansion, stand, and
dug all that day without avail, but dur
ing last night, Findley found upon in
vestigation this morning, the strangers
returned, and at the bottom of a fresh
hole they had dug was found, carefully
covered up, rusty old pot dug in the
ground. The contents of the pot were
missing, but n note left by the men
said they had secured the treasure by
the hazel switches use and had kept it.,
according to Findleys permission.
