TO the growing Of tobacco than any other
man in the state, was listened 10 with great
interest. President Cory gave a short re-
sumo Of tobacco-grOwing. He said that
the special session of congress would i'm
pose a higher duty on tobacco, the bill as
prepared by the ways and means commit
tee increasing the rate on wrappers from
$3.50 to 81, and on filler tobacco from %
cents to 10 cents. At present. Florida to-
bacco is being smuggied into Havana ci-
gars, and is helping the sale Of them. Those
who grow it prefer to see It sold on its own
merits. He regarded an interchange Of
ideas as good for the growers, and advo-
Gated the growers reporting to the secre-
tary each year the number of acres kind
of tobacco raised, etc. He said that
Gadsden county would have 5000 acres this
year.
An interesting TAX on the subject of
raising tobacco by Prof. clute Of Lake City
followed.
Prof. Noodle entertained the convention
with few remarks on the association.
The members of the convention were
driven over the near plantations of he
Owl Cigar Company and shown the things
of interest thereon, after which they were
shown the Fullers earth plant, the mines,
mills, etc.
The convention was an outgrowth of
the tobacco growers meeting, held at

TOBACCO RAIsERs OF FLORIDA.
Interesting Address Made mt the Con-
vention Mt Quincy.

Quincy, Fla, March 1O-The meeting of
the Florida State Tobacco Growers Asso-
citation held here yesterday will no doubt
be Of great benefit TO the tobacco growers
Of the state. There is much need Of con-
cert OF action. there is much need of in
structlon, which can only be gained by
exchange Of ideas. In the address Of Gen.
Howard Of Farm, Field and Fireside Of
Chicago. he said that this section Of Flor
ida was a revelation TO him. He is also
in the colonization business and during the
short time he has been in that business,
has brought more than 100 families to this
state, and while he did not say So he init
mated that he was looking for the place
and pursuant from which they could make
the most money, and being satisfied that
tobacco will be king In Florida the
chances are that we will have new fami-
lies among us before long.

one of the first colonial governors of Mas

Sept. 8, 1852. 1t came down to Mrs. Riley
through Massachusetts relatives. 1t has

Madrid Letter in New York Post.
There are only three great incidents in
the life of a Spanlard; the BIRTH celebrated
by all the kinsfolk; his marriage, and his
funeral. The noble count saves up much
more money for his funera; than for his
marriage. There is nothing that the semi
oriental Spaniard loves so much as outside
show. and he is determined to have 1t right
up to the day OF his death. and on the day
of his death. when he can no longer par
ticipate in it. To build a great mortuary
chapel; to be inferred with pomp and pass
ing bell with requiem and grafton and ep-
itaph; to have a tomb worth $4,000 above
his bones-it is a choice satisfaction TO
look forward to.

ANCIENT STRUCTURES.
Something About the Architecture cl
Early New England.

Early We"
Hardly 20 houses i'll all New Eng
land dating back of 17v are yet i'll ex
istence, unless in a materially trans
formed condition. At best the most of
them were very rough, box shaped, with
a door in one side and high pitched
roof, to make the snow slide off easily,
and chimney of prodigious size. A
few years ago the great chimney of the
house at Boscawen, where General
John A. Dix was born, was torn down
and found to contain $50, 900 of brick.
The chimney of the Darling house in
this town, destroyed about the same
time, was about as large. Its removal
provided the house with good sized
additional room. Almost all the seven
tenth century houses were wooden,
though about the oldsst structure in
New England was built of stone at
Guilford, Conn, in or near 1888. Exc
ter's Oldest, the Darling house, is about
10 or II years younger. Exeter had on
ly three brick houses dating far back
into the eighteenth century, and now
has only two, if they still can be called
brick after being covered with wood
and receiving large wooden extensions.
These are the Peavy house, Oh the New
market road, and the old house off Wa
ter street built by Nathaniel Ladd.
Both We're erected between 1920 and
1880, the Peavy house, of which James
Gilman was the builder, replacing an
older structure which had been burned.
The very picturesque bennett Gilman
house, brick structure with gambrcl
roof, which stood about where the Amos
Tuck house now stands, was torn down
about 60 years ago The block near the
great bridge is of nineteenth century
origin, having been built by Major Sim
con Folsom about 1913.
Dwelling house architecture first be-
came really fine art in New England
during the flush times which interviewed
between Wolfe's capture of Quebec in
1853 and the Revolutionary outbreak of
1775. 1t was then that the older of the
stately mansions of Portsmouth and
ewburyport We're erected. The war
pretty effectively stopped house build
ing, but by 1900 prosperity had returned,
anu NeW EuSldul sulpOWueTS UeCaule
very rich. The house building mania
broke out again in the form of those
great square, three story houses of
which Exeter has few and of which
Salem, Newburyport and Portsmouth
are full.
The magnates of 1S00-10 disliked
gambrel roofs and had no patience with
hooks and passages. They We're plain,
downright and utilitarian men, and
they built houses as square as them
selves, with no nonsense about them,
except perhaps the usually superfuous
third story. Were these worthless to re-
turn to earth they might appreciate the
many modern improvements which
have been introduced in architecture,
but they would be pretty sure to repu-
date with scorn the adornments for
which poor Queen Anne has been held
responsible. - Exeter IN. H News

to 50, $50, 900, still large sum, but it
would be saving of S., 500, 900 of what
it now costs The farmer who markets
100 tons of grain would save 5000 in
time, labor and wear and tear of his
horses and wagons. Besides it would not
be necessary for him to keep and feed
so many horses to do his work
Now that we may realize how the
constant adding up of great many
small sums produces a very large
amount we will take the statistics of
the dairy products of this same state of
Wisconsin as given in the last dairy
bulletin Of the United States agricul-
tural department. The value of all these
products is given for Wisconsin at $50, =
900, 600, very large amount of money
No one knows better than the indus
trious and economical dairymen of Wis
consin how many little bits of work
and care enter into the making up of
this large amount of money. Let us now
compare the loss to the farmer which
pens little by little. We will omit for
the time the loss to the dairyman. The
farmers loss for Wisconsin has been es-
timated at S., 100000. This is more
than IS per cent of the value of the
dairy products of the state. If we now
add to this the dairyman's loss and the
loss of other marketing for want of good
roads, it will easily reach 100000
This is 20 per cent of the dairy product
of this rich and prosperous state each
year and must still continue and in
crease if there is no improvement in the
roads.
The farmer and dairyman of Wiscon-
sin must be content to see 20 per cent of
the whole amount of the dairyman' s
products literally sacrificed to the
"greedy god of the mud" and that by
the barbarous process of sticking their
wagons and horses and sometimes them
selves almost up to the boot tops into
the black swamp mud and the yellow,
sticky clay of the roads. Surely when
who are involved should be somewhat
agitated z" Nor is the condition of the
other states of the Union on an average
any better, but rather worse.
If now there We're no way out of this
difficulty, we would be in the end great
yearly losers, as well as being always
in a sorry plight. The only way out is
to agitate and agitate until the motive
power among us takes some definite di-
rection. Let each man talk to his neigh
Dor and to every man that he sees plod-
ding through the mud, and soon there
will be "a sentiment that something must
be done. The conclusion will generally
be called in. The help must come through
some organized body. 1t may be the
state or the county or both, but certainly
something must be done to stop this
great waste.

Evolution of GunpoMder.

The invention of gunpoWder is shown
by Mr. Oscar Guttmann, in his book on
the manufacture of exploA eyes, to have
been most probably an evolution. The
Greek fire of naphtha, mentioned by
early European and Arabian writers, is
believed to have been composition
containing inter, sulphur and charcoal.
Marcus Gracus, who wrote in the tenth
century, gives composition for charg
ing rockets and crackers closely APP
preaching that of modern blasting pow.
der. This recipe is quoted by Albertus
Magnus, and another one, not so clear,
is given by Roger Bacon. None of these
writers, however, speaks of the use OF
such substances in any way like the fir
ing of projectiles from guns. On the
contrary, they all describe crackers and
bombs or maroons, and say that these
were discharged into towns from bal
lst8 or catapults Or mangonels for the
purpose of setting fire to them.
MIR. Guttmann has found, however in
the wardrobe accounts Of King Edward
III OF England an entry between A. d.
1345 and 1349 giving credit to one
Thomas of Roldeston for the king s work
for his guns, for 912 pounds of saltpeter
and $50 pounds of live sulphur This
seems to confirm the tradition that guns
were used by the English at the battle
of Crecy in 1916. Mr. Guttmann decides
that Berthold Schwartz invented this
use of gunpowder about 1918. If so,
Schwartz must have been very young at
the time or else have lived to a very
great age, for the date of his death is
given as 13S4.-Popular Science Month
