The Chattanooga Ten Tradesman,
w. G. Powell, writing from ITALIA
hasse, says: 1.-THE most profitable crop
is now cigar tobacco, grown from Su-
matra and CUBA seed, the product be-
ing equal to the imported tobaccos OF
these types. The average yield is
about 800 pounds per acre, ard the av-
erage price about > cents; many CT
our best growers, however, get from
500 to l 300 pounds per acre, and from
80 to SO cents per pound. One small
planter grew twenty acres near ITALIA
hassee this year, selling his crop in
September for over $4,000. The cost OF
labor, fertilizing, packing, etc, beng
less than $500, leaving 80 pFofit7uf
more than s. $50 666fro from twenty acres OF
land. Plug tobacco of fine quality
lis also grown, yielding 500 to 1900
pounds. per acre, selling from 10 to 80

AN OLD SOLDIERS PLEA.

To the Editor:-The act of the House
of Representatives on Monday last in vot-
ing to take the pension from the old sol
diers at the Soldiers Home, we must be-
lieve was done through a misunderstand-
ing or false representation.
Those partially or wholly disabled by
wounds i'm the late war drew a pension
before they came to the Home but it was
so small lin most cases only $16) they
could not begin to live upon it and were
forced to go to the Soldiers Home or the
county poor house. One or two, who
were entirely disabled, and have doctors
certificates to that effect, draw a larger
pension, hut not enough to support them
without some outside aid.
If this money is taken from them they
will never have another dollar unless
given them by some noble hearted sympa
thizing friend.
Most of those who draw the pension
go among their friends; they have no
home of their ownsto go to, and spend sew
eral months, and the State is relieved OF
their support, while others take their
places and rest and build up their wasted
bodies and worn down system and in
turn make room for others.
The old soldier has feelings as tender
and sensitive as other people, and is
truly grateful for what his State, in
whose. service the best years of his life
were spent, has done for him in the past,
but his remaining days are made griey-
Gus and sad by the rejection that a new
generation of statesmen should place such
an indignity upon him. and begrudge him
the poor pittance of S16 year.
With a crushed heart he longs to hear
the welcome sound Of the hoofs of the
white horse which will bear him to his
comrades who have gone on before, and
in whose presence he hopes to find some
appreciation, cordiality and comfort

All Brokers Running Speculative Con
Germs Must Pay a License Tax.
The Finance committee has under con-
sideration an amendment to the Revenue
Act imposing a license tax OF $3.50 on
each and every bucket shop or brokers'
Office in the State. This is to apply only
to those dealing in stocks, bonds and ag-
ricultural products for future delivery,
such as the Offices of Cuthbert & CO.,
Hubbard, Price & Co., and Lampson &
Co. which are in this and other cities Of
the State. This amendment was propos
ed by State Auditor Aver and will pro-
bably be incorporated in the Revenue
Act.
A new section has been put in the
Revenue Act. IT imposes tax on iega-
eies aad inheritances as follows: Those
in direct line % or / per cent, and 70
those eollaterally (save for charitable
uses) ~ per cent. No administrators or
executor is to be permitted TO file final

Its Opponents Win Try to Defeat it
by Amendments.
The programme of the Southern Rail-
way people is not to make straight out
and-out fight against the lease bill, when
it comes up in the Senate, but 10 attack
it by amendments.
Lieutenant Governor Reynolds, who is
strong anti-lease man, yesterday gave
away this little game. He said he hoped
the bill would never get through the
Legislature; that when it comes up IN the
Senate flood of amendments would be
introduced, but those that will be passed
are such as will not be Objectionable to
the anti-lease men. Thus amended, Mr..
Reynolds said, the bill will be sent back
to the House and there it will de for
lack of time to again consider and pass
it.
And this is the gift that the Greeks
propose to bear to the people of North
