The Tobacco Company.

The Leesburg Tobacco Company
have organized and the secretary and
treasurer, w. M. Dolive, is now receiv-
ing payments Of the first 10 per cent
installments due on shares taken by
the business men and citizens general
ly of Leesburg and vicinity. The COM
pany will plant crop OF tobacco next
spring. It is a safe business invest
ment, but as an enterprise looking to
the permanent establishment IF the
tobacco growing industry here it
should be encouraged to the greatest
extent by every one Of our people bust
ness men especially, investing in stock
of the company if they have not al
ready done so. The original purpose
of the projectors was to sell or have
taken at least $4,000 worth of shares,
in order to start the enterprise on
rather extensive scale. This much has
not vet been accomplished, but it is
hoped that stock to that amount will
be disposed of within the next month
or six weeks, when all plans for plant
ing next springs crop of tobacco will
be completed. Those who have thus
far failed to make the Investment are
urged to call on Mr.. Dolive at the ear
Hest possible time and subscribe their
names. Every citizen of Leesburg
should take an active part in the effort
being made to establish the tobacco
growing industry in this vicinity. 1t
means, when accomplished, business
and good sound dollars for the town
and all who actively engage in it. And
the Leesburg Board of Trade, like
those of other towns and cities in
Florida, should take an active and
conspicuous part in pushing the work.

in Cuba, what little there, is taxed to
death and unavailable, so the present

Florida Tobacco.

The present indicati tons are for an
acreage of 10000 acres next year in
tobacco, in Florida. The following
from the Tobacco Leaf indicates the
reason of the interest taken.
ga bale of Florida-grown tobacco
weighing few pounds more than 100
was very greatly coveted by, cigar
manufacturer of Tampa. He offered
the grower $500 for it, and did not
get it at that price. The grower was
j. H. Neylan, of Tampa, man well
known over the State for his success
as "a truck grower. This was his first
crop of tobacco; and he grew part
of it under cover, building frames
wide beds, and covering the top with

F1orida's Opportunity.

Cuba is helping this government to
keep their tobacco out of this country.
In addition to the almost prohibitive
duty placed ON Cuba tobacco by Uncle
Sam, the Spaniards have placed tax
of $40 bale on all expectations. Prof
iting by this condition of affairs, the
Florida tobacco grower is in a posi-
ton to "step in and help himself

From a Michigan Paper.

From Michigan Paper.
The Jackson (Mich.) Patriot has the
following on the all absorbing sub
ject of tobacco in Florida"
''There is not as much interest in
South Florida tobacco cultivate as
in the Klondike gold boom, but the
latter, has already been frosted while
the former is growing. Tint Atlanta
Constitution gives long account Of
the revival Of the tobacco industry in
our southern peninsula state. Two
years ago it commenced, and the sue
cess of the crop in the region of which
Polk county is the center and Barlow
is the county seat is remarkable. AS
a cash crop, sold direct to purchasers,
it eNcels anything yet produced in
this country. Probably $500 an acre
for a single acre, with two crops a
year is fair estimate of the value.
Fall planting is just finished, and the
crop natures in forty-fve to sixty
days after transplanting Still it is
not a new industry in the State, but is
entirely new to the region where the
best is now produced. Forty years
ago, before the civil war fine quality
was produced, and the Dutch buyers,
who used to look to Florida for their
finest wrappers, found their supply
cut off when the war broke out. Then
they purchased a large quantity Of
Florida seed, sent to the island of SUI
matra, which belongs to Holland, and
from this seed sprang the finely-teX>
tured Sumatra leaf which is much
sought for the world over now. To-
bacco was forgotten industry In the
State With the breaking out of the
present Cuban rebellion and the in
coming of refugees from the island,
Tampa having grown to be very i'm
portant cigar manufacturing city, at
tention was called to the business, and
a trial made near Fort Meade two
years ago. 1t was successful. The
Cubans knew how to grow and cure
the weed This season many persons
planted a trial crop, some half an acre,
and others three to five acres. The re-
suit is revolution in the cash crop
of South Florida. A company at Fort
Meade, composed mainly of Cubans,
but under the business management
of A. E. Cordery, an enterprising Flo
ridian, is pushing the industry on
large scale. When a farmer can haul
single load to the nearest market
and put $500 and over into his pocket
from it's sale, or have the buyers come
around and purchase it on the pole
when partly cured at the rate Of $500
to $500 per acre, raising the weed Is
better than to be frozen "stiff'' III

night to an overtlowing house. From
the palaces and art galleries Of Europe,
the tour transferred us last night to
Syria and Sacred Palestine. What q
change! During much Of the time we
seemed to be travelling the track OF q
tornado, which had torn all SHADE and
vegetation from the earth and left the
works of man q pile Of ruins. But after
the pomp and glory and glittering art Of
Europe, it was almost a relief to be
shown the sacred places Of dear old
Palestine, devoid of beauty save as they
we're seen 10 the mellow, hallowing light
of Bible story.
The journey last night ended in
Jerusalem where it will begin tonight,
and after completing the tout of the

and crossing to Athens the journey will

II takes US back into what seems very
ancient history to learn that the man
who strung the first telegraph line IS
dying. The first line was strung only a
little more than half century ago, when
Congress enabled Morse to put up his
experimental line between Washington
and Baltimore.
Since then the earth has been gtrdled
again and again with overland wires
and submarine cables. OF cables alone
there are in the world about 10000
miles. The Western Union company
alone has 10000 miles of line and more
than 100000 miles of wire. more than
10000 offices, receipts running from &c.,
100000 to s25.OOO,OOO year according to
the times. In the United States more
than 90, OOO.O 900 messages are sent annual
iy. in Great Britain nearly T0.0O80Se.

what the world was without this modern

usefulness to the world.

Against the Men OH the Three Fra dS
Charged with Making War oil spain.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Jan. Cit is
likely that j. NJ. Bars, attorney for the
owners of the Three Friends, the Cuban
filIbuster; Capt. W. T. Lewis, command
err; John Dunn. engineer; Capt. John
| O'Brisn, the veteran fiiibuster, and j.
A. Huano and Henry p. Fritot, agents
OF the Cuban juuta, will be prosecuted
by the United States government on
| charge Of piracy. Such n prosecution
| is foreshadowed In a libel which was
| filed to-day against the Three Frlenus
| by United States. District Attorney
Frank Clark.
The libel is based on the expedition
which the Three Friends took from Fer
| dInanda on December II, and which faii-
| ing TO land the fiibuster maroohed on
| No Name Key, near Key West. Whiie
| trying to land the expedition 1t Is SAID
! the Three Friends used two twelve
pounds Hotchkiss guns against pursu-
| ing Spanish EunboRts. 1t il charged
that the men named mounted the guns
| and provided shells and shot THEREFOR
| for the purpose OF making war on the
king OF Spain. All through the a9cu-
ment the Three Friends is referred 20
as ian armed cruiser" fitted out by the
| men named for the purpose OF making
war on Spain in the interest Of the Gu
ban insurgents.
This is the first time names have been
used In any libel filed against the Three
| Friends. The present libel also dihers
from previous ones in that the violation
of .no particular section Of the United
| States revised statutes is specified. At
| tnrneys here think the libel was drawn
under Secretary 0iney's instructions
and assert that It's term foreshadows
the prosecution Of the men named on
a charge of piracy.
That the government will push the
case is evident from the fact that five
newspaper correspondents who have
| written much about the Three Friends
| have been subpoenaed to appear before
the United States grand Jury to-mor-
row to tell what they know about the
vessels last trip.
