The curing of the new crop is so far
advanced that growers will soon, now
after caeing weather, commence to re-
move portions from the curing sheds and
stripping will then be in order. And
now comes time when the growers will
do we'll to proceed with caution, rs the
quality of the tobacco will be influenced
greatly by the condition the leaf is in
when it is taken down. 1t should be re-
membered that the present crop is I'M
usually thin leaf and of texture that
will hardly admit of its being removed
from the poles in high case. II in doubt
rather let it come down in light case than
take the chances of allowing the tobacco
to absorb too much moisture. An excsse
of moisture is liable to lead to serious
damage to the crop when the texture of
the leaf is so thin 1t seems to be of the
highest importanc, that the growers ex-
ercise the greatest care in removing their
tobacco from the curing sheds. Dealers
are of the opinion that the absence of
damage in the '97 packings is largely
due to the fact that the crop Was removed
from the poles in light case and are using
this argument in urging farmers to adopt
the same course again this season. They
are also asking growers to make their
bundles smaller this season for the rea-
son that thin leaf ought not to be heavily
pressed into large bundles. There seems
to be such good logic in this kind of
reasoning that the growers will not fail
to profit by the advice given. Having
got the crop so far along towards mar
ket it would really be too bad for farm
ers to allow bit Of carelessness at this
stage to interfere in their realizing the
market price for their product. Edger-

Wilmington. Aug. 25.-Attorney General
White said this afternoon that the case
of the State in the matter of the poison
ing of the two Dover women was COM
plete. He has sent by registered mail
two sets of requisltion papers addressed
to Detective McVey, in care of the chief
of police of San Francisco. One paper
is for bringing here Mrs Botkin, for the
crime of numbering Mrs. Ida Deane, and
the other for the same crime in the
matter of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Cumming.
He also said that Dunning had identi
fed the writing in the anonymous let
tiers sent to his wife on the package Of
candy. The note inclosed was in the
handwriting of Mrs. Botkin. The attor
ney general spoke of having found the
young man who sold Mrs. Botkin Some
candy and gave her the box which was
sent to Mrs. Dunning. and also that the
mail clerk who weighed the package has
been found.

blame, as their orders were to send him
to his command anyway.
The division hospital is entirely dis
tinct from the regiment hospitals, and yet
the jealousy of the chief surgeon holds
that the men must be sent there and
come under any laws enforced there.
The sentiment around camp is that this
is another direct case of criminal neglect
and should be investigated.
