More Money in Tobacco
Than I'm Cotton.

The Charleston News and Courier
is calling attention Of South Carolina
farmers to the crops Of tobacco
which have proved go profitable in
that State, and is urging them to
set aside some of their land each
wear for the cultivation vt The weed.
One of our Charleston contempt
rary's correspondents cites the case
of . prominent farmer in Grange
burg county, who cleared more
money last year on his half interest
in . twenty-acre tobacco crop thsn
he did on fifty acres of cotton, which
welded forty-two bales aud sold for
10 cents. His half interest in the
crop on twenty acres was the equiva.
lent Of . whole Interest In = crop on
ten acres, so 10 effect his experience
was that ten acres Of tobacco cleared
for him more money than City acres
Of cotton. It does no. require much
figuring to show that one acre Of
tobacco, yields more net profit than
five acres Of cotton, producing q
bale OF $50 pounds to the acre SELL
ing at 10 cents . pound, or $3.50 for
the product Of the five acres.
There is not . great deal Of land
that produces 1t the rate Of $50
pounds of lint cotton to the acre,
and years Of experience has demon.
strated the fact that cotton rarelv
brings 10 cents pound, so that
one acre Of tobacco is equal in
profit making to 1--WE acres Of land
planted in cotton. The Charleston
News and Courier says that learn
ing bv the example Of the Grange
burg farmers, . number OF farmers
10 South Carolina are making their
first efforts with iobaccu.raising this
year, in spite Of high cotton. As
the indications are for = big cotton
crop and low prices this year, j. is
quite probable that the farmers OF
the Palmetto State will not regret
that they planted some Of their land
in tobacco. In view Ut the fact that
tobacco commands . good price and
there is always y market for it, the
farmers Of other Southern States
might do we'll BY following the ex.
ample Of their friends in South
Carolina.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Police Juries' Right to
Levy Special Road Tax.

Monroe, March SIN the early
mart 81 last weet the case Ut I. ID.
Y. Logan Ct ais, 70. the Parish of
Ouachita was brought up in the
District Court on an exception OF
70 cause OF action. .rhe exception
was argued by W. f. Millsaps, at
toraey for the Police Jury. repre-
sent,ng the parish, and by H. H.
Russell, representing the petition.
ere. Tue latter had prayed that the
sheriff and tax collector be enjo,ned
from collecting the special three
mill road tax which had been car
ried at IN election ordered by the
Police Jury. The suit caused q
great deal Of interest, a. the petit
TONERS are the largest planters in
the parish east Of the Ouacbita river.
Judge Hall. yesterday sustained
The exception. and counsel for the
petitioners took an appeal. The
Judge, in his opinion. SAID the ques-
tion involved was whether article
29l Of the Constitution Of 1898 was
self-operating; whether the Police
Jury had the power to proceed ~ 1t
did, or whether An enabling act by
the Legislature was required. The
authorities all agree, said he, that
the courts may inquire, - far as
possible, into the intention OF the
trainers OF = law. The article men,
toned gives Police Juries the power
70 divide the parishes into road dis
tr,cts, TO levy road taxes and to i'm
pose licenses for road purposes, and
they are empowered to enact laws
to enforce the payment the, eof.
The only property tax mentioned in
the article IS this tax, and it seems
to have been the intention OF the
Constltu :ional Convention to give
the Police Juries the right TO levy
the tax and enforce its collection.
Where an enabling act is necessary
it is DO specified, but here tue whole
matter seems to have been left to
the Police Jurie. There was no
question that the convention had the
power TO delegate this authority,
and the court therefore concluded
that it was the intent TO give it d.
rect TO Police Jur,ss, and that no
enabling act BY the Legislature was
needed. II is true IS commended by
the petitioners that the mode Of
election was not prescribed, but the
conclusion is nataral that it was in
tended TO allow the Juries to select
their own methods in this respect.
Therefore, he concluded tina: it was
the meaning OF the trainers Of the
Constitution that article 29i should
be self-operatHe.

Forest Camps for
COnsumptives.

The Times- Democrat never had .
doubt but that, when the most nc
cepted methods OF dealing with con-
sumption, with . view to cure or the
alienation OF the disease, had been
properly presented to the people Of
this city and State, there would be
plenty OF assistance forthcoming to
carry on the good work.
The subject had no sooner been
broached in these columns than, as
We saw, apair Of most charitable peo
pie. "E. and L." came promptly
to the front with an offer to donate
the sum of $500 to help build either
forest. camps or free hospital for
poor consumptives; and now, in q
similar spirit comes DR.. Tolson, OF
Covington, with . donation Of land
towards accomplishing the came
desired consummation.
Here il what DR.. Tolson has to
say on thu subject:
Covington, La, Feb. ~, 1901
To the Editor of the Times-Democrat:
II have read with the deepest in
terest the opinions Of Drs. De
Roaldes, Edmond Souchon, Ru-
dolph Matas and J. d. Bloom con.
corning the location Of forest camps
IN st. Tammany parish for the treat
ment Of consumptives. They are
worthy Of the profoundest and most
careful consideration by oil who are
interested in preventing its spread
and giving relief to those who are
in its last stages, or = permanent
cure to those who have it in its in.
cipient state.
"Having some knowledge Of the
healthfulness of the extensive pine
forests of St. ranmany in . varied
practice of a few years, l am ready
to indorse the opinion OF those
learned gentlemen Of the medical
fraternity and to all this enterprise
I will give fifty acres Of land in the
vicinity OF Covington or Abita for
that purpose. This will give the
movement n tangible form and put
the wheels in motion tor it rapid
consumation.
This is N opening for men OF
wealth to give literally to help their
afflicted fellow-men."
GEORGE r. ToLsoN, n. D.
It is for reasons arising from the
contents of such letters as ''E. and
T.. =" and Dr.. Tolson's that we are
confident the State Board Of Health,
once they have obtained all the in
formation regarding tuberculosis
which they want. and have made up
their minds what is best to be done
with . view to coping with it's raw.
ages, will experience no difficulty
whatever in procuring the means Of
carrying out their intentions. There
never was a more open handed peo-
pie than the people Of this city and
State when there is suffering to be
alleviated, and when they have the
conviction that what they contribute
will he used genuinely for the ALE
Walton of the suffering.
Louisiana will not much longer
We are sure, be in the category o.
States that have adopted no sys
tematic or scientific methods To-
fighting consumption. The dealt
rate from consumption has been re
duced by one-third in several States
and there is not the shadow Of !,
reason why such, or an ever
greater, reduction should not b.
made with = little effort, in Louisi
ana as wcll.-Times Democrat.
