from the earliest daysaof the set
tlement of the South tobacco has
been one of the main agricultural
crops. 1t was long the chief source
of wealth, and for nearly two hun
dred years the principal currency of
the colonies, and the first loan ever
negotiated by the United States
Government, was made payable in it.
Upon tobacco all other values were
based, and because of the greater
profit in growing it the other agri-
cultural interests were neglected.
Prior to the Revolutionary War ex-
ports of tobacco had rapidly inoreas-
ed with each year, but during that
period its culture in other countries
attained considerable proportions,
and when peace was restored the
foreign market presented new elo-
ment of competition, and American
tobacco exports have not since that
ti'"e increased in nearly 80 great q
ratio as before. Its cultivation, how
ever, has extended over all of the
Southern States, some growing small
and others large quantities.-Enquire

RuatsPr0A1 Wheat.

Blue stem or purple straw is tho
best rust-proof wheat. 1t takes from
one-half to one and quarter bushels
to seed an acre. The richer the
land the less seed to the ground, as
it tillers much more than any other
grain. Mr.. e. S. Addison, of Ninety
Six, says tho above variety has been
sown for years in Abbeville county
and gives more satisfaction than any
other kind. He will sell the same
for $500 per bushel +. 0. b. l can
vouch for him. The same variety,
in limited quantities, can be obtained
from Clemson College. Address Col.
j. S. Newman, Professor of Agricul-
ture. The price is rs cents per
bushel there. Let the farmers i'll
each neighborhood form clubs and
try two or three acres. Col. Newman
says, if on peas land use kainit and
acid ; if not on peas land, supply the
necessary facility by using meal.
If cotton seed arc used put thirty
bushel per acre. Prepare land as
we'll as if for turnips and have fertili-
zers thoroughly incorporated with
the soil. The use of the wheat drill
saves 20 per cont. as compared broad
cast sowing. Blue ston will pre-
vent smut. Dissolve one pound of
blue stone in five gallons of water !;
dip the wheat in it just long enough
for each seed to get wet thoroughly
with the blue stone water. Use boil
ing water to dissolve the blue stone
and put the wheat in while the water
is boiling hot. Sow the seed wet
or dry. One pound of blue stone
will protect five bushels of seed.
Sow just before the time for first
killing frost, or at the first killing
frost, to save loss by the ravages of
the fly.
Let us make the farms self-sup-
porting. FARMER.

corner of Third n Maple streets.
officers O'Brien n McMasters were
passing westward along Third street
when they saw a man standing at the
window of the McCabe residence. The
fellow saw the officers and took to his
heels. He was closely followed by Off
GER O'Brien, who took three shots at
him, but owing to the darkness, his aim
was not good. and the fellow escaped
by running through the yards of adja-
cent houses and skimming over fences
like a hurdle jumper.
The shots awakened he inmates of
the Malloy house, n one of them
arose. AS he did so he heard the kitch-
en- door slam to, and upon investi-
cation it was found that some one had
entered the kitchen through a window
and had helped himself TO a piece of
custard pie and some other food. The
fellow made his escape before any one
saw him.
The burglar whom O'Brien chased
was undoubtedly the lookout stationed
outside to warn his confederate on the
interior of the house of the approach of
n one. 1t was clearly the intention
of the fellows. after going through the
Malloy house, to break into that of Mr..
McCabe, and the lookout was apparent
ly examining the windo with a view
to gaining entrance by that means.
O'Brien was able to get a good idea of
the general appearance of the burglar
he biased, but was unable to get a look
at his face, as the mans hat was pulled
down over his eyes. The officer says
he will know him again if he sees him.
The fellow has probably left town.

WILL GO TO BUTTE.
Ball Players viii Play a Return Game
nday

Negotiations are in progress between
the arrangements of the Anaconda and
Butte baseball teams to arrang a game
to be played at the latter place next
Sunday. 1t is believed that the ar
rangements will be fully completed to-
day. The teams will line up in about
the same manner as they did last sun
day, although it is thought that Butte
will have a new man in the box.
The man who writes baseball gossip
for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer makes
the following complimentary remarks
about George Andrews, who pitched for
Anaconda in 1897:
Some of the players that have been
seen seen in Seattle this season have the
ability to make the National league,
provided they attend strictly to bust
ness. / have confidence in George An
drews, of the Tacoma team. He is one
of the men who are a credit to the pro-
fession. Some people believe that if a
person becomes a professional ball play
er he is not a fit person to mingle in
good society. This is wrong, but in a
large degree the players themselves are
responsible for the condition of affairs.
The many suffer for the indiscretions of
the few. The fallacy of the reasoning
lies in the fact that what in logic is
termed a particular proposition is ap-
piled in a general way.
Murray. the young Tacoma pitcher,
that Portland recently signed, gives
promise of developing well. He made a
decided hit in Seattle, and the patrons
of he game took as much interest in
him as they do in u own players.
With a good catcher to steady him
down, he ought to De n of the best
in the league.
Among those who give promise of
future greatness in their special line
nay be mentioned Anderson and Dea
of the Seattle team; Babbitt and Gates
of Tacoma; Hopkins of Spokane. and
possibly Marshall. 1t seems to me that
Marshall is out of place in the infield.
AS a timely batsman he is very valua-
BILE to a can l am sorry to see Klei-
Der of the Tacoma team taken from
shortstop n put behind the bat. I
consider him the best shortstop, all
things taken into consideration, in the
league. He handles himself something
after the style of Ed Williamson, the
old Chicago star. He holds the infield
steady. With a first class catcher, the
present Tacoma team would be an en-
tirely different aggregation to meet.
Tacoma's outfield, all things considered,
is the best in the league"

TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT.
A Technical Question Arises in the Case
Against Karatofsky.

The case of the city against r. Kara
tofsky was yesterday tried before Judge
Fitzgerald. Karatofsky is charged with
conducting a pawnbroker's business
without a license. 1t appears that kar-
atofsky has a secondhand store, for
the running of which he has a license,
but he has not a license TO conduct a
pawnshop.
In his defense Karatofsky set up that
he conducted a secondhand store and
not a pawnshop. From the evidence,
however, il is plain that he runs a bust
ness which to all intents and purposes
is a pawnshop. The method employed
by him is to buy outright articles
brought in by persons DESTROYS of rails
ing money, and afterwards, when the
person is ready to redeem. sells the ar
ticle pack again, but at a slight increase
in the price. Thus, If a man wanted to
raise a loan on a watch, Karatofsky
would tell him that he was not running
a pawnshop, but that If he desired to
sell the watch he would give him a GER
tain sum, making it plain at the same
time hat the owner of the watch might
buy it back again whenever he so de-
sired, al an increase in price which
would amount to about the sum of in
terest charged by pawnbrokers. AS the
transaction is made by bills of sale. in
the regular way, there is a question
whether or not Karatofsky is guilty of
a violation of the ordinance.
After hearing the evidence Judge
Fitzgerald took the matter under ad-
visement.
