TELEGRAM FROM LEE.
More Destitute Americans Than
at First Supposed.
THERE MAY BE TWELVE HUNDRED.

New Order of Concentration Issued by
Captain General Weyler Aggravates the
suiferings of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
tire Farming Population To BE Crowd
ed into Cities Under Control of the
Spaniards.
Washington, May PA telegram was
received at the state department Sat-
urday morning from Consul General Lee
indicating that the number Of Ameri-
cans in need of relief in Cuba is much
larger than was supposed at first. The
consul general says that the number
may reach 1.200. The consul at Matan-
zas reports $50 there and the consul at
Sagua 450.
A consular report from Cuba tells of a
new order of concentration. The effect
Of 1t will be to add greatly to the hor-
rors Of the situation. The suffering will
be increased, and the deaths will be
more numerous. The order so far as
the consul knows. applies to about one
third of the province of Santa Clara.
This Is the region of sugar estates.
Obliged tn Form Camps.
OnQer the original OTQeT Oh cOflceHtTd-
ton the agricultural population was OBJ
liged to form camps at the centrals, or
grinding plants, of such estates as MAIN
tGined Spanish garrison. This permit
ted the farming population to gather In
bodies Of from 500 to 1000. BY this dis
tribution in small bodies the reconcen-
trados were able to find some subsist-
ence The smaller concentration has
been attended with less hardship than
the larger. The new order just made by
the Spanish authorities abolshes the
concentration camps on the sugar es-
tates. 1t directs that only points of con-
centration in the district shall be the
cities having municipal organizations
In this district there are but three
"municipals,' as they are called
Must Move to Three Towns.
To these three points the entire farm
ing population will now be driven. The
report from the consul says:
'There are twenty-five estates or

Dons sneer at the Relief

Havana, May 24.-The $50.OO0 to be
appropriated by the United States for
suffering Americans has been sneered
at by the Spanish officials. and many Of
the Havana papers have indulged in
open criticism of the move of the Unit
ed States. Their only fear is that some
of this money may get to the insur-
gents in some way and benefit them.
Spain will be very cautious as to the
methods she will allow to be taken to
distribute this money, and it is expect
ed that some friction may follow If the
United States attempts to pursue Its
own way in distributing the money.

Co-Operative Tobacco Farms.

In many neighborhOOds, where
there is not much practical or expert
mental knowledge of tobacco culture,
system Of cooperation could be
practiced with good results. Select y
good piece of land, five OF ten acres
and let each partner take one acre or
one share, or two shares according to
his ability. Some might not be able
to put in money, let them put in
work, or some may not want to work,
let them put in money. Select some
one as manager, and another for
treasurer, etc. Let money be raised
according to number of shares or
acres for necessary expenses, includ-
ing if necessary, the expense of an eN-
pert occasionally, along about the
time of ripening and curing, as we'll
as giving instructions in the sweating,
grading and asserting processes. The
advantages would be economy in en-
ploying an expert to advise them oc>

ATTRACTIVE WOMEN.

Why is one woman attractive and
another not? The most admira BILE and
attractive thing about an attractive
woman is her wOmanliness. Every
body admires womanly woman. She
must have health, of course, because
without it she would, lose the bright
ness of her eyes, the fullness Of her
cheeks and her vivacity. Real health
must mean that woman is really a
woman. That she is strong and per-
feet in sexual way, as we'll as in ev-
cry other. That she is capable of per-
forming perfectly the duties of mater
nifty. Some are born with what is call
ed constitutional weakness" Those
who do not enjoy perfect health, need
only take the proper precautions and
the proper remedy to become perfect
ly we'll and strong. DR.. PierCe's Fa-
vorite Prescri ption will cure any de-
rangement of the distinctly feminine
organism.

Sucker Crops.

Notwithstanding drouthy conditions
through July that killed out much of
our tobacco stubble after the first
crop was taken off we now have a
beautiful and luxuriant second crop
that is ready to harvest and some al
ready in the dry house. The quality
seems to be good, but considerable
damage has been done by the worms,
the rains Of the past two weeks wash
ed off the paris green about as fast as
we could put it on. Ordinarily we can
stop the tobacco habit in worms with
a little Paris green, but with these
daily rains, they will get in their
work, in spite of all our efforts. We
hope they will all be gone before the
third sucker crop comes on.
With our experience we believe it
possible, when the seasons are favor
able, to have four good paying crops
from one planting To do this we must
plant very early in the spring, say in
March, latter part of May or about
the commencement of rainy season,
prune off first crop, and let sucker
crop come on during rainy season.
In August take off second sucker crop,
and there will be still ample time be-
fore frost for two more crops-even
the fourth crop should pay all costs
for fertilizer and extra help. We be-
lieve we can so improve on present
methods and render such care of our
plants as to make this perfectly feast
BILE. But we will have to be more
watchful, more on the alert, more
studious, and most important of all,
to be always ready with a good supply
of plants to take advantage of an
early spring or a seasonable spell for
lanting.-Palatka Advertiser.

ton if found necessary, and in mar

And probably the best all would be
in the strong cumulative feeling, that
would stimulate all to greater efforts,
each trying to excel in the beauty and
excellence of his crop. Each man
would strive to make his acre ''mod-

that such an exhibit will be of untold
benefit to the State and the tobacco
industry, and | hope to see not only
a large number of the Florida tobacco
growers at Nashville on that day, but
those from other tobacco growing
states. In fact, | believe that l will
see more of the latter because they
are watching the progress this State
is making in the culture of the weed,
and if the results here surpass what
they are doing at home they will come
to Florida to locate.

ern leaf dealers at the exposition and
trust that | may have such excellent
samples of Florida tobacco that they
will become converts to it. The sup
ply of imported leaf is now quite lim>
tied, and as the leaf grown in this
State is nearly, if not fully, as good
as the Cuban tobacco, the attention of
the world must be turned to Florida

much depends upon the farmers
in this movement, and it's success will
be guaged by the manner in which
they send in their samples. My de-
sire is that they begin sending in
their best samples at once and not
send any that will reach me later
than October 10th. These samples
should by all means be liberal and
they should have a stout tag attach

for my new publication, and this will
be of much benefit to me in obtaining

Florida Tobacco on it's Own Merits
Why not get what belongs to us?
Why take second place for fine to-
bacco? Why continue the reputation
of Cuban cigar leaf by allowing all
our own best product to enter the
market as Cuban grown tobacco, and
only the poorest quality to be sold as
Florida tobacco? Shall we ever gain
for our tobacco the reputation it de-
serves by this means? We think not
and we think it ruinous policy, and
now while it is possible for us we
should sell our own tobacco on its
own merits as genuine Florida.
1t is now coming to be understood
that the Cuban tobacco grown out
side of the Vuelta AbajO district has
no superiority whatever over our best
Florida tobacco and that France takes
the entire product of the Vuelta dis
trict, none coming to the United
States at all, and that it is only a
"fad'' that keeps up the reputation
of Cuban tobacco over our own.
What we want to do is to turn our
tobacco loose upon it's own merits.
To grow and manipulate our tobacco
so perfectly that it shall be absolute
ly without rival in any land or any
country. California did it in her dried
and canned fruits. We did it in our
oranges, and can do it also in our to-
bacco if we go about it in the right
way. American skill, science and push
can accomplish this project as it has
But we want to acknowledge no sec
ond place. In pushing our product on
the markets of this and other coun-
tries, we should not use the express
sons, NEARLY equal to Havana" or
''iust as good as Havana;" but 'su-
perior to all' should be the guaran-
teed stamp on every box of first-class
cigars, and then guard our tobacco's
honor by maintaining it's quality.
But how can we do this? How can
we overcome the prejudice against
Florida grown tobacco? Simply by
elevating the grade of our goods, and
maintaining the price by concert of
action, combination of growers, and
good Judgment and business push in
getting it started. Arrangements
could probably be made with some
large and reputable cigar manufac-
turers in some of the eastern cities to
handle our tobacco and push it as
genuine Florida tobacco. Samples
should be exhibited at every State fair
and every exposition, and its virtues
exploited in every newspaper and in a
few years we could secure for it a rep
utation second to none in the world.
The war may soon end in Cuba, and
before that time our own product
should come to the front, and Florida
should get the honored credit that her
tobacco merits.-Palatka Advertiser.

Ono Moro Chance to Register.

ST. Lukes, S. c.. Dec. 20, lS97.-Sinco
the publication of the registration no
tce OF the 29th ult. based on an "off-
hand" decision of the Attorney General
to the effect that there should bo no
registration under the understanding
clause after Wednesday, 9Th inst, I
have received notification from tho
Attorney Generals Office Of u change
OF this decision, and that the present
Supervisors of Registration are au-
thorized to open the books Of rcgistra-
tion on January l, 1893. 1t was clear
that the understanding clause applies
up to and including January l, 1898,
but it was a question whether or not
there should be registration on that
date, it not being a "lirst Monday"
The Attorney General has finally con-
strued the Registration Act as author
izing registration January lst. The
requirements for registration on that
date will be the same as last year and
this year, and those registering then,
as well as those registered In 1896 and
1897, are electors for life. The hours
fixed by law for registration are from 8
q. m. to 3 p. m. So the understanding
clause expires Saturday, January l,
1893, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
