TOBACCO VS.. COTTON.

Our forefathers, it is said, away
back yonder, carried corn to mill In
one end of the sack with @ rock in she
other end to balance it. After awhile
they learned that they could carry
corn in both ends and save the extra
load. The present generation, up TO
the last few years, seemed TO think
they could raise nothing bus cotton.
No bacon, no corn; but all cotton But
this had its day and cur farmers began
TO use their good common sense by
raising their home supplies-''hog and
hominy."
Hog aud hominy" first. Then comes
into consideration what shalt be raised
TO bring in money!
Heretofore most of our farmers have
depended on cotton as money crop.
The immense territory that will pro
duce cotton and the immense guam
tisy produced has made the price of
that staple low. Texas and other
States further South can produce it
cheaper than this section. There is no
longer any profit id cotton TO our farm,
ers. If a big crop is made this year,
as is likely, the price will not be over
4 or 5 cents a pound.
The culture of bright tobacco for
many years has been gradually ex
tending further east, until at lest many
farmers of this section have gone into
tobacco culture and made money at it.
Go in tte old cotton counties of Edge
combe, Wilson, Green, Pitt and num-
Der of others, and you will find the old
gin houses gone down and tobacco
barns erected in every direction the
farmers paying off their old cotton
mortgages and moving forward with
new life and vigorl
The raising of fine bright tobacco is
largely confined to the territory OF
Eastern Carolina, and the demand is
much greater than we can ill.
It is stated that q pound of tobacco
can be made at considerably less cost
than a pound of cotton. If the farmer
will plant few acres in tobacco and
attend to it properly, he will probably
make more on it than on big acreage
in cotton. Good tobacco will always
command good prices, and even ord1
nary tobacco pays better than cotton.
There is only loss, of course, in max
ing poor tobacco, as there is in making
@ poor article Of any kind.
This section is well adapted TO the
growth of fine tobacco and we believe
the farmer who fails TO plant some to
bacco will make q great mistake-To-
bacco Culture.

Germantown, Pa, Jan. 50, 1898.
The Hon ". D. BIOebans, Tallahassee,
Florida:
DEAR RGR:-Iread, in to nights Even.
ing Telegraph, letter from you, invit
ing the Governors of the Southern and
Western States to attend the Fifth
! Annual Session Of the South and WseS
Commercial Congress, to convene at
Tampa, Florida, on FebruarysSsh. Ssh
and 10th, the object of said Congress
being TO consider the means TO increase
the Interchange of all merchandise and
articles, between she South and West,
and to promote the movement Of grain
and all other products Of the Western
States to Southern distributing mar
kets, and, through the Southern ports,
for export. In other words, sir, infer
that it is the general desire TO bring
prosperity to the South, which, for
many years, has known naught but
destitution and poverty.
Having married into a Southern
family, am somewhat familiar with
the conditions Of that section Of our
county, and dsem(this is fitting ep
portunity Of bringing to the notice Of
yourself and the Congress, which shall
shortly convene at Tampa, Florida, a
scheme which occurs to my mind, of
rehabiiitating the South, causing the
smile of fortune to spread itself in
every direction, circulating money
and making sad hearts glad. You
must admit that Cotton is King" in
the Southern States; it is the staple
product of that section OF our country,
and the price it brings in the markets
here and in Liverpool, determines the
prosperity or adversely of the South.
Why the Southern planters have
quietly folded their arms these many
years, allowing others to value their
crops, while it has been In their power
TO place their own value thereon, is
question I cannot understand. Pre-
Stunning that the cotton crop Of the
South last season was 10, 900, GOO bales,
Che exact figures, believe, are $780,
OOO, and sold there at an average price
to the planter of 4 cents per pound, this
means that 5000, O0O,O 600 found their
way into the avenues Of Southern
trade. Presuming, however, that the
crop had netted the plan ters an aver
age of cents per pound, equaling
S4OO, ,OOO, 600, and thas this sum was
now circulating through the avenues
of Southern trade, do you think that
the Southern people would not feel the
differencel l understand that there
are three or more grades of,cotton--let
the lowest grade be rated at 8 cents,
aud the others proportionately higher.
Now, sir, this condition Of affairs
can readily and easily be brought
about-It would require only the ser
vices of few shrewd business South
ern gentlemen, of standing and known
ability, 20 effect this metamorphosis. |
In the North, we have pools Of many
industries, then why not organise, df |
you please so to name it,, 'The South |

Every shipper should investigate In
advance of the shipping season and de
Gideon one or two good houses in each
markets he expects TO use. He should
correspond with these houses, posting
them on the character and quality of
his expected crops, and he should ship
10 them regularly throughout the
season. In this way the dealer and his
customers become acquainted with the
quality Of the goods, and, if they come
regularly, it is often possible TO sell
them in advance of arrival. A dealer
takes an interest in a regular shipper,
and will look ous for his interests. Ii is
never good policy to ship to one man
TO day and another to morrow, acting
on the whim Of the moment, or yield
ing to the persuasions Of the last solici
tor who asks for your shipments. It
is equally bad policy to scatter small
shipment among half dozen houses in
the same market. Make your trade of
some Importance to the commission
man, by sending good goods regularly,
and it will be to his int rest TO see that
you are given satisfaction. Keep your
dealer posted in advance Of the amount
and character Of your shipments and
of the total shipments that are going
to his market from your locality. In
sist on his keeping you posted as to his
market and on his making you prompt
returns. Do not let him send you
weekly or monthly statements, but de-
mand account sales and check for each
lot sent, on the day that 1t is sold. Do
not be afraid to spend q few dollars in
