A few nights ago ! heard converse

which think worth making public.
The conversation was between two
travelling men, suggested by one asking
the other how was his trade. The re-
ply wss that bis trade was fine In the
Eastern part Of the Stste-in the to

bacco was grown successfully In the
State there was no such thing a. strtn-
gency In the money market. He also
stated, and I have heard experts say,
that tobacco could be successfully
grown In this section. That climatic
conditions are favorable, and In many
places the soil we'll adapted to the
growth Of tobacco. II this IL true Why
can we not undertake the culture of
tobacco on q limited scale? It IL not
an uncommon thing In Florence, Oar
lipgton and Sumter for man to clear
Thousands Of dollars on less land than
q man can work Ia cotton with one
horss. Fresh sandy lands are best
adapted to the growth Of tobacco, but
any sandy land with clay snbsoil, well
feftilised, will produce good tobacco.
would advise experimenting on o
limited scale at nrst, but think that
the experiment should be made by ouI
people where they have land adapted
