TOBACCO CULTURE.

While the farmers of Alabama are dis
cussing the advisability of continuing to
raise Scent cotton, the State Herald
would call their attention to the fact
that the statistics show that tobacco cul-
ture was by far the most profitable crop
raised last season.
The idea has long prevailed that the
soil of Alabama is not adapted to to-
bacco and without attempting to test
the matter the idea has been accepted as
fundamentally true.
The first real test of tobacco culture in
Alabama ON anything like an extensive
scale that has attracted public atten-
ton was made last year by Renfro
Bros, of Lee county. They not only
planted large acreage, but cultivated
the plant in a systematic manner, max
ing ample arrangements for housing and
caring for same. An expert tobacco
grower was employed, and the result was
the crop was equal in every way to the
best raised in the tobacco growing states
and the average yield greater.
COX Bondurant who is in charge of
the experiment station at Auburn, him.
self Virginian, conceived the idea sew
eral years ago of interesting the farmers
in Alabama on raising tobacco. He made
all the necessary improvements for Gull
tivatng and curing same. and this par
ticular feature has attracted no little at
tention, and the result has been several
farmers in east Alabama have given
some attention to tobacco culture, and
have been rewarded with partial success.
That Alabama can grow tobacco sue
l. 1,ae laas oil r.
ly and practically demonstrated, and the
farmer who takes advantage Of theoppor-
tunity to diversity his crops by the intro
duction of tobacco culture will reap bet
ter harvest than he can expect from O.
cent cotton, especially with the present
interference in Cuba with tobacco grow
ing.

ed apartment in the towns almshouse.
Douglass, it is said, was always eccen-
trio. Until his wife died years ago 1t
was his custom to drive by in crazy old
wagon or carriage or carryall to one
place or another, wherever she wished to
go for pleasure or business, and fnvaria-
bly, charge her q fixed price for the serv-
ice. After her death he grew still more
peculiar and morose, in respect of his
moods and acts. Often in his lonesome
fields in the wild and primitive region
in which he dwelt on the Rhode Island
line, he uttered long soliloquies in a loud
tone, preached and prayed to imaginary
audiences and brandished his long arms.
AS he stumped along the rough country
roads he chatted and laughed and de-
bated with himself about all sorts of
projects.

brushy farm, Is the widest town in
southern New England, and Is remarka-
BILE for its great dreary woodlands, al

rough-and-ready people as primitive as
old-time frontiersmen. They dwell mostly
in rude implanted, slab-sided houses or
huts. and make living burning alder
and birch charcoal for the city markets.
They are canny and shrewd. invincible
bargain makers, and cute boss traders
The land abounds in big. long-legged
jack rabbits, which are gray in summer,
like the ordinary hare, and in winter are
snowy white. They are said to be AL
pine hares, and are met with nowhere
in this neighborhood, except Voluntown
and Western Rhode Island. They run
like the wind, and make leaps of twelve

SENATOR INGALLS,.

The attendance to hear ex-senator In
gals lecture at the Southside Baptist
church last night was very small owing
to tho Indictment weather. Those who
ventured out, however, were highly en-
tertained, and the speaker was liber-
ally applauded. Senator ingalls, is of
that class of men who are bound to
talk, and to talk entertainingly, and
would be as much at home on one side
of a subject as the other
The entire lecture was interspersed
with politics, but of character as not
to offend any one; but, on the other hand,
was very interesting and appreciated
That he is a man of exceptional ability
no one who heard him last night will
deny and he justly bears the honor as
the wizard of the English language"
While his audience did not agree With
him in some of his political illusions.
they were highly pleased with his speech
as a whole, and it was a literary tHeat
that is seldom enjoyed. t
The State Herald was informed last
night that Mr.. ingalls, expressed himself
as highly pleased with his reception in
Birmingham. and will return in the near
future and deliver series of lectures.
He leaves for Atlanta this morning,
where he will lecture tonight. 6,
