CAAT. TOHN +. PATRICK, Chief In

Lire, writes Us that the article pub
lishtd in this paper and others 70 the
effect that a syndicate had bought a
tract Of land in Warren ounty on
which TO develop a great colony en-
terprise, is a mistake He says that
all they expect to do IS to divide the
land up and sell it at a reasonable
profit TO any who wish 10 buy. The
small amount they have secured wi!
not Justify the company IN spending
money TO build up the place, there
fore they will sell out to persons who
wish to buy farms at a low price. We
regret there is no foundation for the
story as originally published in the
LittIeton Courier and copied in this
paper.

by the supreme court OF the United States as

scope and operation of the Wilson act This
being the case the law laid down in Leisy vs..
Hardin controls this case and the attempt to
forbid the importation and sale Of spirituoUs

The decision Of the supreme court Of the

By this decision it is clear that so long as the
State herself engages in the business Of i'm
porting and selling alcoholic liquors for the
purposes Of profit. SO longs as she recognizes
that the use Of alcoholic liquors as a bever-
age IS lawful and can be encouraged So
long as she seeks 2 monopoly in supplying
these liquors for that use, and in this way
looks to an increase in her revenue, she can

national reputation as a gentleman
of authority on all matters pertain
ing to "trusts"-especially the late

upon by the United States court to
give expert testimony as to the validi-
ty OF its character and other matters of

made "trip throughout Pennsylvania
and, being a student Of the political
situation, tells Record reporter that
the laboring element OF that stateis al
most on the verge Of desperation.
Since McKinley's election, wages have
been reduced, mills shut down in all
directions, and general uprising IS
imminent unless times improve. In
many Instances laborers are paid IN
scrip, which is sold to different store
keepers at a reduction Of FIVE to fifteen
per cent. Mr.. EeaZey took occasion
to investigate the deplorable state OF
affairs and found the distress so pro-
nounced that be is almost willing to
promise q positive overthrow Of Re
publicanism in that state. He states
further that John r. Mclean will
succeed Mark Hanna as United States
senator in Ohio. Mr.. Mclean has
abandoned his summer home at Bar
Harbor, Maine, aud will remain IN
Cincinnati and personally conduct the

Messrs John A. Tillman and f. S.
Hamilton of Tampa, accompanied by
Messrs jackson and Jose Rodriqui
Acosta, two expert Cuban tobacco
growers, spent last Sunday in Sumter
Vile, examining our soil and the to-
bacco grown in this vicinity with a
view to starting an extensive tobacco
farm here They visited Mr.. Hamil-
toms place in the famous Warm
Spring hammock, north of Sumter
vile, and pronounced that soil the
best they had seen in the state for the
cultivation of the cigar leaf tobacco.
Mr.. Acosta thinks that tobacco raised
would find ready sale ait from So to
So per pound. These gentlemen also
drove out to Mr.. d. T. BeltOn's and eX-
amined the tobacco raised by him
this spring, and pronounced it first
class in every respect. They said this
tobacco proved conclusively that the
soil was adapted to the cultivation of
the weed. Mr.. Jose Rodriqui Acosta,
until recently, has been manager of
one Of the largest tobacco farms in
Cuba, and understands thoroughly
how to cultivate and cure the weed.
1t is the intention of Messrs. Tillman,
Hamilton and Acosta, as soon as all
arrangements can be perfected, to
form stock company and plant ten
acres this fall. A curing house will be
erected and the acreage increased to
fifty next spring. Mr.. Tillman in
formed us that if they are successful
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-08-25

pany will plant SO acres this fall, and
intend to build a curing house on
their premises, so that the leaf can
undergo the final curing process down
there.
Next spring the company will plant
extensively on the 100 acres which
they have lately acquired. 1t is not
likely that the truck growers will put
in much of crop of tobacco, if any,
during the spring, as they will stick
to their vegetables from which they
have always realized good returns

in the city in the interest of his COM
pany and speaks encourage of the
outlook for Tobacco in Manatee county.
This company was organized last
winter and the services of j. w. Teas
ley, Of this city, were secured to put
in a spring crop of 80 acres out of
which a good stand was obtained on
20 acres. This acreage was divided in
to three fields in order to avoid total
lossin case of misfortune. In the early
part of this year the services of Pedro
Valdes, an expert tobacco grower and
curer were obtained and the COM
pany's plantations began to prosper
The spring crop had been all gath

Full 10000 pounds of tobacco has
been shipped up according to the

there will be 10000 pounds of tobacco
left after the grading. This is gen

Experts who have examined this
Tobacco pronounces it to be of a very
high grade and likely to bring excel
lent prices after it is cured. It is said
that the experts pronounce much of
the Manatee tobacco to be equal to
the Cuban product.
Mr.. Trimble states that there will
be fully 100 acres of tobacco raised in
Manatee county for the fall crop. and
that much more would have been put
in, but it was too late before the par

Yesterday a Times man witnessed
an inspiring and most gratifying spec
tacle-a caravan of ten large wagons
loaded with high-grade Florida tobac-
coin all about $500 pounds, and all
of which was grown in the vicinity
of Plant City. The tobacco was in the
pole-cured state, and was of very fine
grade. The gentlemen called at the
Times Office for suggestions as to the
best method of disposing of their
product, and were given the names of
the most responsible buyers. AS re-
suit, they made deal with O'Hallor-
an & Co., for the entire lot. The av
erage price paid was 40 cents per
pound the most inferior grades bring
ing 35 cents and the best SO cents.

the party and a statement of the
