FIRMLY INTRENCHED
IN NORTH CAROLINA
Colonel keogh. Formerly N Repub-
Iican Committeeman, Says They
Cannot he DisIodged

Col. Thomas Keogh, of Greensboro, who
was formerly a member OF the national
Republican committee from North Caro-
lima, is here. He says the Democrats are
surely in the saddle in his State and pre-
diets that owing TO the bitterness engen-
dered by the conflict between the races
that it will probably be twenty-five years
before any party is able to dislodge the
Democrats in North Carolina Talking to
some of his old friends in this city Col.
KeOgh said:
They are not only in the saddle but
they have on their boots and their spurs.
with Winchesters in their hands, meta
phorically speaking, but actually, if occa-
sion demands the use of the fire arms"
Col keogh admits that il is an utter
impossibility TO hope for any more Re-
publican successes in North Carolina,
owing TO the fact that so many thousands
of the white Republicans will stand by
the men of their own race in the interest
of Anglo-Saxon civilization and suprem-
acy.
Mr.. Keogh thinks that Senator Butler
will be succeeded at the expiration of his
term either by eX-Congressman Simmons.

committee. or Julian Carr. a wealthy citi-
zen of Durham, who is able and popular,
and who has done a great deal to build

siouers have written in reply that the
new central headquarters will be ready

apparatus be shipped here by that date.
The new central headquarters to which
reference is made will be located on
Eighth Street, between d and F. Streets
in an addition which is being built next
to the present engine house in that local
ity- The old fire alarm headquarters in
the District Building will be abandoned
just as soon as the new apparatus has
been installed. The completion of the
new system will mark great advance
in the history of the local fire depart
ment. and will do away with the difficult
ties and annoyances of the old system.

THE CULTURE and
CURING OF TOBACCO
Department of Agriculture
Prepares a Treatise.
IN ANSWER. To IN0UIRIES
IN ANSWER. TO INQUIRIES
Can Be Grown in Nearly All Parts
of This Country.
The Plant Readily Adapts Itself to
Great Range of Climatic
Conditions.

The Department of Agriculture receives
in each mail letters of inquiry concerning
the culture of tobacco. The main points
of inquiry are in regard to the kind of
tobacco to be grown and the method of
curing the product. This has caused the
Department to prepare treatise on To
bacco Soils" The author of the paper is
Milton Whitney, chief of the Division of
Soils. Mr. Whitney writes. in part as fol-
lows:
Tobacco can be grown in nearly all
parts of the country, even where wheat
and corn cannot be economically produc-
ed The plant readily adapts itself to a
great range of climatic conditions, will
grow on nearly all kinds of soil, and has
comparatively short season of growth
But while 1t can be so universally grown,
the flavor and quality of the leaf are
greatly influenced by the conditions Of
climate and SOIL The industry has been
very highly specialized, and there is only
demand now for tobacco possessing GER
tain qualities adapted to certain specific
purposes. A nondeScript tobacco Is not
worth growing and should not be grown
as 1t lowers the price Of really good types
of tobacco, to the detriment alike of the
grower and the consumer. AS climate
and soil conditions determine the charac-
ter of the tobacco, it is important to un-
derstand what kinds of tobacco are In
demand and what the climatic and soil
conditions are which will most easily
produce the qualities desired.
1.-The principal kinds OF tobacco grown in
this country are the cigar types, for our
a NIxrn of nj b.
uring types, for smoking and chewing
for our domestic use; the bright yellow
tobacco, for cigarettes, smoking and plug
wrappers: White Burley, for smoking and
chewing, both for domestic and export
trade; and the export types proper which
are not suited to our domestic use but
which are mainly exported to foreign
countries to be used both for cigar and
manufacturing purposes.
''In the ten years between 1879 and 1889
the acreage and yield of the cigar tobac-
cos were very considerably increased The
manufacturing and export districts can
not be sharply separated, as both kinds
of tobacco are frequently grown in the
same district, and the same kind is fire.
quently used fer both purposes. On the
whole, there was a considerable decrease
in the acreage and yield Of these classes.
With the bright yellow and hurley tobac-
COS tnere was af large increase in both
acreage and yield.
1T Is a curious and interesting fact
that tobacco for our domestic cigars is
raised in Sumatra,I Cuba and Florida, and
then passing over our middle tobacco
States, the cigarotype is found again in
Massachusetts. Connecticut, Pennsylva-
nio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. The
tobacco which we use for chewing and
pipe-smoking, anduwhich We send abroad,

Regarding Chimney Sweeping Is
Very Explicit.

Complaint was recently made to the
District Commissioners by Mrs. ". F.

ed the right to examine the chimneys of
the structure to ascertain whether they
needed TO be cleaned Mrs Birch asked
If she would be obliged to submit TO The
demands Of the chimney sweep and If 50
that an exception be made in her case
In her letter Mrs. Birch gives numerous
objections to the chimney sweeping proc
ess at the present time.
In replying to the protest the Commits
sioners today wrote that the law regard
ing the sweeping Of chimneys is very ex-
plicit and that the Commissioners have
no authority to change il or TO instruct
the superintendent of chimney sweeps as
10 what he shall or shall not do. IF the
party who visited the house. the C3mm!s-
sioners state further. was a duly author
lied superintendent he had the right to
clean the chimneys and they have no au-
thority to direct him otherwise"
