dear sir before the late war Florida
had a most enviable reputation as a
producer of fine leaf tobacco. A
great export trade had been built up,
and when on account of the war the
supply was diminished, no sooner
would Florida tobacco get on the mar
ket than it would be grabbed at fab
ulous prices and carried to Europe
and manufactured. Cuban tobacco
was second-best then, and it will be So

Tobacco at Leesburg.

The first load of tobacco ever
brought into Leesburg in any guam
tity was represented in six hundred
pounds grown by M. r. Mathews. The
Commercial in speaking of the inn
portant event says:
''On last Saturday, Mr.. w. r. Math-
ews drove into town with load of
coo pounds of tobacco which he ship
ped to Tampa to be cured there by
fine and was part of crop grown on
little less than two acres of light

economy.
"a great deal can be accomplished
by improving the seed, by importing
new seed and by improving the meth
DDS of cultiva ton, but more can be ac>
complished by steady and persistent
effort to produce, through methods of
cultivation and fermentation, sorting,
grading, etc., the closest possible re,
semblance to the type which is desir>
ed by the manufacturer and the con-
sumner. This is the business side of
the transaction. A careful study and
compliance with the requirements OF
the market will undoubtedly increase
the price of tobacco equally as much
as any difference in the smoking and
chewing qualities has improved much
more than the practice of grading
and sorting in compliance with
the market demands. There is
plenty of room yet for improvement

None Better than Florida.

Messrs. Hubbard & Perkins have
opened big warehouse in Tampa and
will handle and cure Florida tobacco
on big scale. A Herald man recently
asked about the quality of Cuban seed
leaf grown in Florida so extensively
now for cigar purposes, to which Mr..
Hubbard replied: ''It is pre-eminent-
ly finer than that produced anywhere
else in the United States and is equal
of any Cuban article. In Florida we
have the climate and soil exactly suit
ed to it's production, and the texture
and flavor of our tobacco is not excel

have produced a greater yield. Being
his first crop he is much encouraged
and will plant larger acreage next
year Mr.. Mathews is a practical
farmer and is satisfied nothing can
beat tobacco for a staple crop for this
country. His load of tobacco was the
first ever brought into town in any
quantity as home production, and
it created considerable interest among
our citizens who carefully inspected
the quality of the stock, which was
pronounced by all fine article Of CT
gar leaf.'

met. Florida wrapper is better, Flor
ida filler is better and Florid binder Is
better, than the average Cuban article,
and the fact will soon be known all
over the world"
Mr. Hubbard scoffed at the idea of
an overproduction of Florida tobacco.
He says it is coming to the front and
it makes no difference where it is
grown nor whether it is labeled and
put up in imitation of Havana or not;
if it has the quality (and he says it
does have) it will always be in de-
mand far and near. AS matter O.
fact, large importers and leaf dealers
are already learning to put the Flor
ida article on the market without any
ception.-Tampa Herald.

PAPER MILL BURNED.

Destructive Coafiagration the Origin. Of
Which Is Shredded in Mystery.
CRBsCENTvILLE, o., Jan. 15.-The inn
mense paper mill of the Fox Paper Co.,
located at Crescentville, Is miles north
of Cincinnati, ON the Miami railroad,
was totally destroyed by fire at
o'clock Thursday night The or
igin is "a mystery. The first
seen of the fire was "a huge
mass of flames that shot upward
from the >engineroom following loud
explosion, whereupon Foreman John
scotsman ran to ascertain the cause.
He found four barrels of oil .ablaze,
and at once gave the alarm The en-
ployes made an effort to connect the
hose, but were forced to flee from the
building on account of; the rapid prog
ress of the flames.
The mill was constructed of brick
and covered three acres of ground.
1t was erected about twenty years
ago, and was used in the manufacture
of building and wrapping paper,
being the largest plant of the
kind in the state. Maj Geo. B. Fox,
who is secretary of the company, puts
the loss at over $3.50, 900, which includes
machinery valued at $10oy0oo and over
one million pounds of manufactured
paper and SO, 900 pounds of crude stock.
The building was worth $50, 900 and is
a complete wreck, there being nothing
left but few blackened walls.

Gen. Stewart L. Woodford Spoken OF,
for Position.
The New England Field Being Scanned fol
Cabinet mb.r-SenatOr Lodge Would
Sooner Remain in the Senste-Fa.
vorable Mention of Ex-Gov. Long.

CANTON, o., Jan. 15.-The withdraw
al of Mr.. Bliss from the list of cabinet
possibilities leaves the situation open
SO far as the choice of cabinet officer
from. New York is concerned. Maj.
Mckinley has not selected a New York
republican for his cabinet and there is
no reason that he will be in hurry
to do So indeed, the impression
is current that one of the last mem bers
of the cabinet to be chosen will be the
representative from the state of New
York. Gossip, which is never idle,
plays with unwonted vivacity about
the name Of Gen. Stewart L. Wood
ford, of Brooklyn. Gen. Woodford, said
New York man Thursday, is lawyer
of wide reputation, a successful and
popular speaker on financial topics and
a man of rare administrative ability.
The president-elect knows him exceed
ing well, and thinks highly of him.
Another New York repu blican, who is
discussed somewhat as a cabinet posi-
bility Thursday night, is Hon. J. Sloat
Fassett. If Maj. Mckinley has any
one in mind from New York,
he has given no sign. His
secretary of state having been
selected, Maj. McKinley's next task
will probably be that of choosing a
secretary of the treasury, and the
chances Thursday night were that this
position, will not go to New York. The
New England field was scanned for
cabinet possibilities Thursday by the
president-elect, who invited Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts,,
to consult with him upon the subject.
Senator Lodge said: 81 am not a can
didate for cabinet position. l am
satisfied to be a senator from Massa-
chusetts. We talked Thursday about
ex-Gov. Long and others. Gov. Long
is very highly esteemed by the people
of our commonwealth"
Maj. Mckinley is considering ex-
Gov. Long for his cabinet and the
chances are that he will be the New
England member of it though q port
folio has not been rendered him.
