New Years Calls.

New Years calling in New York was
purely the outgrowth Of IN early
Dutch custom, yet strangely enough
many of the descendants Of the early
Dutch settlers fought against the con-
tinuance Of q practice which they de-
clared had long since passed beyond
the bounds to which the fathers limit
ed II and had been made the excuse
for great excesses on q day which
ought to be given over to the forming
Of good resolutions.
In the early days Of Manhattan Is
land the male Dutch settlers every
New Years day started out as q mat
ter Of duty 10 visit the houses Of all
their friends. The good wives who re-
ceiyed them were arrayed in their Sun
day finest and had bowls Of steaming
hot punch upon the best room" table.
The latter day Dutch descendants de-
MED the punch and said 1t was coffee.
The irreverent latter day champions Of
New Years calling denied the punch
also and told their opponents that their
forefathers would not know punch
II they saw It and that they drank
nothing but III smelling hot gin.
Whatever It was that the good burgh-
ers drank. they succeeded in calling
within the compass Of the day upon
every family Of any note on Manhattan
Island.

TOBACCO CULTURE.


Oup Cerrespoadsse suggests Expssi.
meats which Might Become Pres'
liable.
Editor Press and Banner:
A few nights ago ] heard o conversa-
ton relative to the prowth OF tobacc1
in this State, suggesting Thoughts
which think worth making public.
The conversation was between two
travelling men, sugge-ted by one asking
the other how was bis trade. The ne
DIV was that bis trade was line In the
Eastern part Of the State-in the to-
bacco section. He said thst where to-
bacco was grown successfully ID the
State there was no such thing az strln-
pency In the money market de aiso
stated, and I have heard experts ssy,
that tobacco could be successfully
grown In this section. That climatic
conditions are favorable, and In many
places the soil well adapted to the
growth of tobacco. II this is true why
can we not undertake the culture OF
tobacco on q limited scale? It 10 not
an uncommon thing In Florence, Oar
lIngton and Sumter for q man to clear
thousands OF dollars on less land than
a man can work In cotton with one
horse. Fresh sandy lands are best
adapted to the growth Of tobacco, bue
any sandy land with clay subsoil, well
fertilized, will produce good tobacco.
would advise experimenting on Q
limited scale at first, but | think that
the experiment should be made by our
people where they have land adapted
to tobacco culture.
I am Informed that an acre OF land
will produce / 900 pounds Of tobacco,
and that at lOc. which Is low price,
is worth 500, or more than the value
of three bales OF cotton. II this ID true
the only point for us to determine IL:
ia our Land adapted to its culture.
One other difficulty, however, is that
the culture will have to be general be-
fore we can establish local market for
1t. If our people will experiment gen
eraIly we could secure an expert TO
visit the county next fall and pass
judp n,ent on the grade OF our tobacco.
hope these suggestions will hnd
lodgment with some OF our good farm
ers aud that they will secure seed from
Darlington or some other tobacco
county and have tobacco for the mar
ket next fall.
