Hillsboro Growers.

The tobacco growers of Hillsboro
county met recently and organized
for the purpose of mutual benefit. Be-
fore adjournment the meeting was
addressed by Colonel I. T. Wright, of
the Plant system, who spoke on the
wisdom of the move and upon the
Sailed genius of Americans. Having
produced the finest oranges and pine
apples in the world, he did not see
why they should not raise the finest
tobacco. He also said that some OF
the Florida tobacco had been known
to sell for So a pound, but that he
would place a very conservative figure
on II, and say that it would average
the grower 80 cents a pound; this he
thought wou.~- De a profitable figure
The Tennessee crop, he said, averaged
the growers but AZ cents a pound. He
then urged upon his hearers the i'm
portance of united action, and urged
them to push Their efforts so that
Tampa would be made the headquar-
tiers for the Florida product. He
thought it was the logical place for the
adjustment of the headquarters, as
Tampa was the best known tobacco
market in the country. He then sug-
eested to the growers the idea of hold
ing a Florida tobacco exposition some
time in the winter. He said he
thought mat General Briggs, of Rus
sellville, KY, president of the Nation
al Tobacco Growers Association,
would be glad to indorse the idea and
to call the meeting. The governor of
the state, he said, should be requested
to invite the growers of North Caro-
lima, Virginia, tennessee and Ken
lucky to attend the exposition and
meeting.
Colonel Wright then said that he
thought that Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson could be induced to attend, as
that gentleman was very much inter-
ested in tobacco growing, and was
carefully watching the efforts of Flor
la. Secretary Wilson had made eN-
tensive inquiries into the success and
progress of tobacco growing in this
state, and would hail with delight
chance to come to Tampa at a time
when he would have such a grand OPP
nOrtunitv TO see what had been done
in single year.
The meeting resulted in a perma-
nant organization, with w. L. Greer
as PRESIDENT; H. B. Covering, vice
president; and j. r. Swingly, secre-
tary. The organization will have reg
ular meetings, and will grow in inter
est as it gets down to work Citizen.

A Valuable Experiment.

A Valuable Experiment.
An experiment is under way at Pal
metto, Manatee county, which, if sue
cessful, will probably have much to
bacco in this state. A company is be-
ing formed "for the purpose Of buy
ing and selling leaf tobacco, engaging
in the cultivation of the same, curing
and manufacturing it into cigars,
smoking tobacco, snuff, fertilizer, or
any other produce that it may, with
profit be made into" The immediate
business of the company will be to en-
courage farmers in the vicinity of Pal
metto to plant considerable areas in
tobacco, and to provide the means for
curing and handling the produce by
the most experienced and skillful men.
The product of one good acre of to-
bacco" will be accepted in payment
for one share of stock provided anoth
err share is paid for il cash in easy in
stallments.
1t will be seen that the company is
really a cooperative one. In it is pro-
posed to concentrate the means and
energies which the farmers of the
community are able to devote to the
establishment of the new industry, in
order that they may be effective.
Spent by individuals, they would be
frittered away, in all probability, and
accomplish nothing. United, there is
every reason to believe they may be
sufficient to make tobacco growing
profitable from the start. Some of
the great industries of this and other
countries had their beginnings in CO.
operation of practically the same
kind. They speedily grow past that
stage in most instances, it is true, but
they nevertheless owed their belong
ings to the cooperation of men of
small means, and could not have been
started in any other way under the
circumstances then existing.
The plan seems to us a good one. No
man going into the experiment can
lose much, and unless the judgment of
men especially we'll qualified to know
is mistaken, the lands of Florida are
practically suited to the production of
high grade of tobacco. The chances
of success are therefore large. The
same plan ought to work well in every
community Of small farms.-Times-
| Union.

THE recent election in Ohio was
a holly contested one, and probably
drew out nearly as many voters as
did the election of last year; but
there is woeful falling off of voters
from last year. Maybe this does
not indicate anything, but to man
up tree it would seem as though
the charges made of illigal voting
in that State last year might pos
sibly be true.

now ABOUT ITs

The gold press OF the country has
been busy since last November tell
ing the people that the s'silver craze"
was dead. From the returns of the
late elections it is evident that the
gold press has been greatly mis-
taken or has been constantly lying
to the people, and we are inclined
to believe it has been doing the
latter.
Marcus Aurelius Hanna claims
that the reason for the vote being
80 close in Ohio that it is doubtful
if he can be elected U. S. Senator,
is because the good times in that
State have made the Republicans
and goldites careless.
In New York Van Wyck has
been elected Mayor by over 10000
votes. He was the Tammany cam
didate and in 1896 was a warm
supporter of W. ]. Bryan for the
presidency. This indicates that
New York will be in line at the
next presidential, election for a
silver man.
And here is what Chauncy M.
Depew has to say about elections:
"The election issue in New York
has no National significance; but,
with an alarming falling off in the
Republican vote in the State, with
heavy losses in New Jersey, Ohio
and other States, the Republican
Party is confronted with the incon-
trovertible truth that Bryan and
bimetallism are not dead. 1t warns
them that they must take steps at
once, and emphatically, to settle
this currency question beyond any
hope of reopening it."
But the greatest fall of all is that
of Henry Watterson, the leader of
the gold Democrats in Kentucky
which State has just repudiated the
gold policy by giving the silver men
8 $4,000 majority. Watterson, a
few years ago CALCULATED, ''damn sill
ver," but this is what he writes in
the Courter-Journal since the last
decisive victory for silver in "Old
Kentuck."
"The issue, as it was made and
has been fought out, was clear and
explicit. No effort was wanting to
maintain it. Nobody could by any
possibility be mistaken about it,
We may regret the verdict, but we
accept it. We shall make no fur
Their effort to direct the party course
or counsels, or to share in any of
the responsibilities of party leader
ship, having done our best, accord
ing to our conscience and belief, to
divert our political associates from
policy and procedure the end of
which no man can now foresee and
the result of which we very much
fear, both as to the welfare of the
country and of the party"
Taking everything into considera-
ton, the silver men have cause TO
feel jubilant Their gains have
been great, and it has been accom-
plished by the fusion of all parties
who favor the cause. Keep up the
good work until 1900 and the vic
tory will be won.

SUPREME COURT OPINION.
What 1T Holds I'm Regard to the Allow
anse to Counties for Collecting state

!tf"
The case of the State of Nevada
ex rel, Lyon County, Relator vs. G.
A. LaGrave, State Controller, Res
pendent, the Supreme Court Mon
day filed an opinion in favor of
respondent.
The Legislature of 1885 provided
that the State shall allow the sever
al counties for services rendered in
collecting the revenue by the Audi
tor, Assessor and Treasurer, a sum
which shall be the whole tax levied
by the county on the basis of the
salaries allowed these three officers.
In, 1893 the Legislature passed an
Act fixing the salaries of and con-
solidating certain offices in Lyon
county. 1t fixed the salaries to-wit:
The County Clerk as ex-officio
County Treasurer, $500, which
sum is declared to be in full for all
services as County Clerk and ex-
officio County Treasurer and re-
quires the Clerk to pay all fees col
lected by him into the County
Treasury. The salary of the County
Recorder, as ex-officio County Aud
itor and ex-officio Superintendent
of Schools was also fixed at 81, 800,
which was to be in full for all serv-
ices as Recorder and the two ex-
officio offices. The Sheriff as ex-
officio Assessor was to receive sal
airy of 81 500 and his compensation
as Sheriff was fixed by fees. There
is no dispute between the parties as
to the Assessors salary.
The State Controller allowed,
Lyon county not on the basis of
these several 81 800 salaries, but up
on the basis of 81 200 for -officio
Treasurer and 5000 for ex-officio
Auditor and salary of 81 800 for
the Assessor. Lyon county claims
that the allowance should be based
on the 81 800 salary for each of the
three officers and brought action to
compel the Controller by mandamus
to make the allowance on said basis.
The Court holds that the Act of
1885 was intended to allow each
county the States proportion of the
necessary expense it might incur
in collecting the State and county
tax and no more, and for this pur-
pose it was provided that the al
lowance shall be the proportion of
the State tax, as aforesaid, based on
the salaries of these three officers.
That these salaries being IN solido
if it be held that the State must
pay the county on the basis claimed
by the relator the result will be
that the State will pay not only its
proportion OF the county's expenses
of collecting the State and county
revenues, but part of the county's
expenses connected with the Clerks
Office wholly disconnected with its
expense in collecting the revenue.
To require the State to do so would
be in contravention of Section 81,
Article XVII of the Constitution
which declares that each county
must support its own officers. The
Court holds that these salaries being
in solido there is no basis on which
an allowance can be made under
the Act of 1885; that if the Con-
troller and officials of Lyon County
agree upon an equitable
basis that no allowance whatever
can be made. Some other counties
in which offices were consolidated
were in similar position to Lyon
County with reference to the salaries
