Much Important
Business.

If the Legislature shall carry out Its
present intentions to adjourn on May
18th. less than three weeks remain IN
which to do the mass Of work which lies
before the body. While 1t Is possible that
the session may be extended beyond
this date for several weeks, yet every
effort Is being made to get through, and
tho greater portion of the heavy work. at
least. will be behind the members on that
day,
Tho biggest thing on the Senate side

Senator said last night that he thought
the Legislature should remain here and
dispose of 1t, If 1t required few Weeks

Der of bills of more or less Importance,

tho House.
The most important matter pending
there is the bill relating to the organiza-
ton and government OF corporations

JAPS WILL RAISE
BRIGHT TOBACCO
Government Sends Samples
to Be Inspected by Local
TobaCCOnists.

Mr.. e. X Victor. the German consul IN
this city, has Just received two samples
of bright tobacco shipped here by the
Japanese government for inspection OF
Richmond tobacconists
For some years past the Japanese have
been endcavoring to raise quality OF
tobacco similar to that produced IN VII.
GINA and North Carolina. With this end
in view they some time ago engaged Mr.,
w. Adams. of Oxford, n. c.,
to come over and teach them
and Mr.. Adams, Is now there,
Furthermore. they sent over several
Japanese agents who have recently been
recalled that they might go home and
teach the natives what they learned
here.
The sending of the samples marks the
elimination of tho efforts Of the governs
ment. Native Japanese farmers have at
last succeeded in producing flue cured
bright, leaf. almost indistlnguishable, ex-
ccpt In body from the Virginia weed.
They are eager to know II 1t comes UP
to tho standard, and hence they have
sent to Mr.. Victor several samples for In
spection by him and other Richmond to-
bacconists. Mr. Victor spoke OF 1t IN the
highest terms.
The matter is of direct interest to the
local trade since, as the Japanese learn
better and better to produce their own
tobacco, they will buy less and less Of 1t
from this side.
