CURING TOBACCO.
The Florida Havana Tobacco Curing
House an Important Factor
I'm the Industry.

III tHc IHuuStTt.
The Star deems it a privilege
as well as a duty to note the inn
presSiOnS recent visit made on
our mind to the Florida Havana
Tobacco Company's curing
house. We found Geo. E. Camp
bell, general manager, in charge
and ready to show us through
the eSta biiShmcnt. 1t proved a
very interesting visit. Up stairs
a dozen people were at work
stripping the tobacco, asserting
it as to quality in lunches weigh
ing several pounds, and placing
it in "carrots," which in turn are
baled and then it is ready for the
manufacturer. The strings or
cords that are used as the bind
ing material of the carrots is
called mahOgOny, while the bal
ing or mating IS product of
the royal palm, that grows in
Cuba, q material that keeps out
moisture and retains the heat so
necessary to keep the baled to-
bacco in a condition ready for the
manipulations Of the cigar ma
ker.
There were twelve persons at
work, four girls who were stem
ming the tobacco, one woman
who was placing in carrots the
poorest quality of the leaf found
in the assorted lots, and seven
CubanS, five Of whom were as
sorting and grading the leaf, and
two others were placing it in
carrots, ready to be packed in
bales.
There were ten bales, averag-
ing eiGhty-tive pounds each,
ready for the market and which
the company expect to sell here
at a good price.
Manager Campbell estimates
the output of his company at lO,-
600 pounds and the yield of the
Ocala district at $4,000 pounds.
This surely is an encouraging
prospect, when we remember that
last year the crop grown around
Ocala was about 1900 pounds and
all passed into the pioneer tobac-
CO curing establishment of Mr..
Medero, whose encouraging
words and practical suggestions
and example did much to start
this new industry.
The purpose of the Star in
these remarks is to show the re-
ward in store for every diIigent
grower of tobacco in Marion
county, that the time devoted to
same will pay better than any
other crop and our people should
embark in it with enthusiasm
and a determination to succeed in
not only growing the weed but to
produce such u quality as to COM
mand the highest market price.
i,, TO bot
while the crop natures quickly
and becomes ready for pole dry
ing, yet no other crop needs such
constant and watchful attention
while growing as tobacco. With
out this kind Of labor one had
better save his energy and give
it to corn or sweet potatoes,
which in this climate and soil
do wonders under neglected
conditions.
What the Ocala grown tobac-
co will bring in its betuned state
we are not prep ared to- say, as
conditions which prevail III all
commodities regulating price,
will do the same for tobacco.
Quality first, and the product
showing the best care and atten,
tion in growing, free from inroads
from the ravages Of worms, etc.
will bring the best price.
Some are so enthusiastic that
they predict our tobacco will sci
from - cents to 81 a pound; if SO

DfOuSnJ as muCn money.
The Star is strong in the faith
that the tobacco crop will not
only prove the commercial and
monetary rehabilitation Of Ma
rion county, but also Of a large
portion Of the state; and with
this conviction it repeats that
now is the time and opportunity
to grow product that will bring
fair returns to to the producer
not to the theOriSt and cx-
FOUNDER Of prosperity and Chow
to do 1t and how not to do do It, :"
but to the person who will go
into the field with plow and hoe,
and by untiring diligence and in-
dustIy literally draw it out Of the
ground, with good large drops Of
sweat sutiuSlng the brow Of labor.
We also realize that there are
certain conditions attending the
growing of this crop, tobacco.
Not every person who can cul-
tivate a patch or an acre success
fully has a building, or even
knows how to pole-cure it.
To assist such, the Florida Ha-
vana Tobacco Company stands
ready with skilled labor to take
the crop from the stalk and turn
it over to the grower, a CONNER
cial commodity, ready to receive
money advances on it or to find a
purchaser for it.
Such an institution is greatly
needed in the culture Of tobacco
in our midst, and it's coming was
most opportune. Quite a number
of enthusiasts grew the tobacco,
but got this association to take it
when grown and cure it for them.
This association started this
season with limited capital, but
feel certain that before another
season rolls around it can great
~ enlarge the field Of its opera
tions and largely promote the
growth Of the most profitable
crop yet undertaken by our peo-
pie.
1t is a part Of this article to
name the men who compose this
company, that our people may see
for themselves the ma terial inter-
csts OF these persons are init
mately associated with and bound
up in that of the citizens Of Ma
rion county. That what affects
the commercial interests Of the
whole people Of the country af-
fects them, and with the object
in view to help themselves as well
as assist their fellow citizens was
the incentive to embark in this
enterprise.
We know of no body of men in
our community who possess the
respect and confidence of their
fellow men to larger degree or
stand higher in the business world
than those, or whose sense Of
honor and integrity is more dearly
priced. They are among our bus
mess leaders, full of enterprise,
push and public spirit are the
organizers Of this company. We
name them and their cognomens
will suggest their high citizen
ship.

HIGHWAY COMMISSION.
Editor Henry of the Dixon "Tribune''
Elected Secretary.

At a meeting of the State Highway
Commissioners yesterday Arthur L..
Henry, editor of the Dixon Tribune"
was elected Secretary, instead of Rich
ard P. Welch, who was named over a
week ago. Welch declined the appoint
ment in view Of the fact that he had
been offered a better position with a
business firm in San Francisco.
Isador Alexander of this city was
chosen Stenographer for the depart
ment, he having been shifted from the
Code Commission for the purpose.
Duncan C. McCullum was named for
the joint position of janitor and clerk,
for which he will receive $40 a month.
No doubt exists but what the clerical
force employed will prove amply suffi-
cient to perform the onero is duties per-
tanning to the Department Of High
ways.
j. M. Lathrop of Stanislaus County
was before the Commissioners with an
explanation concerning the roads in
his section of the State. The Commits
sioners agreed to visit Stanislaus Coun-
ty the latter part of this week, and
together with Mr.. Lathrop make a per-
sonal examination of the roads, with
a view to their final betterment.
A communication was received from
the Lake Tahoe Wagon Road Commis-
sioner requesting the members of the
department to visit and view that i'm
portant public highway at the earliest
opportunity.
1t was decided to accept the invita-
ton, and the Commissioners will make

THIRTY DAYS.
The Penalty for Stealing Newspapers
From Subscribers.

At various times during the past few
months patrons of the Record Union
have made complaints that their papers
had not been delivered. AS the great
est care had been taken that subscrib-
ers should be faithfully served, it was
evident that the missing papers had
been stolen and afterwards sold upon
the street.
Acting on this belief, a watch was
kept on the routes from which the pa
pers had disappeared, with the result
that Charles Ray, one of the hardest
youngsters Sacramento has seen for a
long time, was caught in the act of
drawing papers from beneath doors
where they had been placed by the
route boys. Another lad was also dis
covered in the act of stealing papers,
but he took the first train for Portland.
Young Ray, however, was captured
by officer Bagiey, and he was yester-
day arraigned in the Police Court be-
fore Justice Candy of Oak Park, act
ing for Justice Davis in the latter's abb
sence.
H. L. Buckley had been retained to
defend Ray, but he withdrew after the
case had been called, on Rays state
ment that he preferred to enter a plea
of guilty rather than have the case
postponed a day to allow the prosecu-
ton to muster its witnesses. Judge
Buckley was frank in telling the route
thief to do as he pleased, and City At
torney Brown said he should raise no
objection to such a proceeding.
Ray protested that he wanted his SEN
tence without delay, and expressed the
hope that he would be allowed to leave
the city without making the acquain-
tance of the county rock-pile.
City Attorney Brown made a clear
and concise statement of the facts in
the case, and when he had concluded
Judge Candy did not feel inclined to
allow the sneak thief, who is nearly
nineteen years of age, to go without a
reminder of the fact that laws are
made for the protection of newspaper
subscribers as we'll as others Regard

CHINESE INSANE.
Proposition to Have Them All Sent te
China,

The State Lunacy Commission, work
ing under the new law, is making rad
ical changes in the asylums and hos
pitals of the State. and others are con-
templated which, if carried into effect,
may save the State a snug sum.
The new law went into effect March
31st, and as the commission was not
organized until two months later, over
a hundred commitments were made
under the old law. The Attorney Gen
eral rendered an opinion to the ef-
feet that all such commitments were
illegal, and the board accordingly or
dered all patients so committed to be
re-examined by examiners appointed
under the new law.
These denominations are being held,
and have, SO far, resulted in nearly 90
per cent. of those committed under the
old law being rejected under the new.
This very material rejection of pa
tients is because under the new law,
the d-time Southern California Asy-
lum for the Insane and Inebriates has
had its name altered, and that portion
referring to 'inebriates' is, under the
new law, left out The result is that
oil Vi lllCOl lIAciuC
der the old law, after the Act of
March 31st went into effect, are on re-
examination rejected, it being held that
the asylum is no longer a Keeley cure
conducted by the State.
There are at present over 300 China
men in the several insane asylums of
the State, and the question is being
mooted as to whether they have any
right there. Part of the board at
least, is of opinion that as the Chinese
are not citizens the State is not
obliged to take care of their insane,
and that the proper and cheaper meth
cd will be to deport them all to China,
where they properly belong.
It is contended that the Lunacy
Commission has absolute power to do
as it sees fit in the case, and it has
been suggested-and the suggestion will
probably be acted upon-that it enter
into an agreement with one of the
steamer lines whereby the Chinese in
sane may be dumped upon Chinese
soil
The per capita per annum cost for
each insane patient is $3.50 and it is
figured that the cost of deportation will
not exceed S75 per capita. The cost to
the State for caring for 300 crazy Chi
namen is $45, ,000 The cost for de-
portation Cat $75 per capita) would be
S22, 500, or a saving to the State Of
So, 800 for the first year and $40, ,000
each succeeding year with the prob
ability of the amount growing as the
State grows older.
The Lunacy Commission has, as yet,
taken no positive step in the matter,
but that it will do so is to be expected
The record-union., 1897-06-02

The managers of the Record Union
have determined to protect their pa
irons, and to this end will give a re-
ward Of SO for the arrest and convic-
ton of every person caught stealing
papers from the subscribers.
The youngster who secured the evil
dence which resulted in the sentence of
Ray was made happy with $40 as a
reward for his services in the case.
