THE NEGRO VOLUNTEER.

1t is probable that If the President should
call for volunteers under the new army
bill he would not call for any negro regi-
ments having negro officers. There is no
doubt that at Santiago the negro regulars,
under white officers, fought bravely, but
the experience with negro volunteers with
negro officers, in the war with Spain, has
been such that, 1t Is safe to say, IL will be
a long time before negro volunteers with
negro officers will be called for again.
At Tampa, in Cuba, at Macon, in fact.
wherever negro regiments have been en-
camped, the negro volunteer has shown
that he has no regard for law and order,
and very little respect for the uniform
which he wears. The trip of the Tenth
Immunes, from Macon to Washington,
was of a character to utterly disgust the
authorities with the negro volunteer. Half
crazy with whisky, they terrorlzed about
every town through which they passed
Those who were provided with pistols
shot at houses and persons, without re-
gard to the injury they might do.
1t is wonder there were not
more accidents. And these volunteers and
their officers seem to feel aggrleved that
they were not permitted to do as they
pleased. They cannot understand. appar-
emily. why the authorities insisted upon
their conducting themselves with decency.
The white people in the South, as well
as in the North, would have been gratiied
if the negro volunteers had proven them
would much rather have reason to praise
than to condemn them. The record they
| have made in the military service, how
ever, is not one In which even their warm
est friends can find anything to approve.

Thrilling ocean Experience.

Clark Russell. in his romances of the
sea, has told no story of shipwreck avert
ed or completed that compares with the
tale brought here last evening by the res
cued passengers of the Cunard steamer
-Pavonia, says a New York letter of March
s, in the Philadelphia Press.
In fact the thrilling description that
Victor Hugo In his romance, 49," gives of
the horror occasioned by the releasing of
cannon from their mornings upon a war
ship and the rolling of them around upon
the deck of a steamer would fairly well
convey some idea of the experience of those
who were aboard the Pavonia during the
month of terror that she lay in the trough
of the sea with her boilers loose. pounding
against the sides of the vessel with the
tremendous energy of a giant trip-ham-
mer.
The wonder was that these boilers did not
dash the vessel to pieces. But there was
a greater wonder than that. 1t was a story
of endurance, courage and skill. The en-
gineer Mr. Duncan, and his assistants
went down into those dark boiler rooms,
exposed themselves to the danger of being
crushed by the rolling boilers and of being
drowned as well, worked there for a
whole day at time, and for many days
and working thus were able to prevent the
boilers from crushing through the sides of
the steamer.
If we substitute boilers for cannon we
have Victor Hugo's vivid description over
again. No vessel was ever so near destruc-
ton before without being utterly destroy

TOBACCO CULTURE IN CHATHAM,

A concerted effort should be made to-
wards bringing under cultivation the
thousands of acres Of available farming
lands in this county. which are at pres
ent producing nothing Fences around
farms are not now required, and there Is
apparently available an aboundant supply
Of farm labor. Immediately adjoining the
city there are lands which five or six years
ago were model farms; but under the in
auence of the great boom these lands
were bought from their farmer owners by
land syndicates and divided into town
lots, and now they make up barren, IN
productive waste. Under the influence of
tho boom, farms situated several miles
from the city were acquired on specula-
ton, and ceased to be farms
In view of the facts, 1t may be asserted
that there is less land under careful cult
walton in Chatham county to-day than
there was five years ago. This condition
of affairs is not desirable. The remedy for
it seems to be for the land syndlcates to
go into agriculture, and make their idle
acres produce something while they are
waiting for that inevitable expansion of
the city which will make the lands valu-
able as town lots. 1t Is true that an exper-
imept in agriculture might not be as prof
table as could be wished, and then again
1t is possible that satisfactory results
might be obtained with careful manage
ment.
1t is well known that sea island cotton
of fine quality can be grown In this coun-
ty, and there is apparently no reason why
tobacco cannot be successfully and prof.
tably cultivated here. Tobacco is becom-
ing the great money crop of South Car
DINA and West Florida, and in some parts
of Lower Georgia also. A few years ago
experiments in tobacco growing were
made in some of the eastern counties of
South Carolina. The results obtained were
little short of wonderful, and to-day mill
lions of pounds of tobacco are produced
IN those counties. The new industry has
been of the greatest benefit to the far
mers From condition bordering on pow
erty. they are now living in comparative
independence. The mortgages on their
homes have been paid and they are put
ting money IN bank. And this Is due to
tobacco culture.
In another column we reprint an arti-
Gle from the Beaufort Gazette, showing
the practical results of tobacco raising in
South Carolina. The article is worthy of
careful study on the part OF land owners
in this county. 1t gives facts and figures
which have been verified, and which no
doubt could be duplicated here.
The formation of small cooperative ag-
ricultural companies, inside or outside of
the local land syndicates, for the purpose
of experimenting in the cultivation of to-
baceo in Chatham county, is a matter
which the Morning News thinks should re-
ceive attention. Something of the kind
seems to be necessary, in order to utilize
the uncultivated lands and give employ
ment to the surplus and idle population
of the city and county.

AMERICANS PAY ENGLAND TAXES.

The English capitalists who came TO
this country a few years ago and invest
ed a great deal of money in breweries,
buying controlling interests in them and
making English institutions of them, are,
by a recent decision of the highest court
of England, compelled to pay the English
income tax on the entire income of the
breweries These breweries are situated
IN different parts Of the country, some of
the largest of them being in Chicago. One
of the Chicago concerns was taken as
a test case, and the decision was against
IT, the English courts holding the brew
cries were English Institutions. The Eng
lishmen who bought these brewerles were
told by American lawyers at the time they
bought them that if they organized them
under English laws they would have to
pay the income tax on the entire income
of them, besides paying the taxes in this
country levied for city. county and state
purposes.
What they will do, OF course, is to re-
organize the companies and make Ameri-
can institutions of them. Under the pres
ent condition of affairs. the American
stockholders in the breweries have to helm
pay the income tax of England. The
amount which Chicago citizens pay is es-
timated TO be between $4,000 and $4,000
