J. M. Barker of Henry county, Va, which
appears in the annual report of the Vir-
ginia commissioner of agriculture, tobac-
co growers often make mistakes in top
ping. If they top too high, the plants
will not mature in time, and very likely
the three top leaves will be thin and
green, in which condition they are known
on the market as tips. On the other
hand, if growers top too low, the tobacco
will be coarse and heavy, and will not
command a good price. In topping, the
length of time plant has to stand and
its growth and vigor should be taken in
to consideration. Suckers should not be
allowed to remain on tobacco until long
and tough. When pulled in this stage,
leaves are frequently broken off or loos
ened so they drop off when the plant
ripens and entail great loss. Suckers
should be broken off when not over five
inches long. Tobacco should not be cut
before it natures, nor should it stand
too long after maturing, as it will then
begin to deteriOrate and become chaffy
and thin. Never cut tobacco while wet
or when dew or rain is on it, as it will
not wilt or get supple as quickly nor as
regularly as it would if leaves were dry.

The market is calling for domestic i'll
lers again according to "The Beginner"
who says: During the past ten days [
have been deluged with inquiries for do
mestic filters of different growths. [
don't know whether this demand is gen
eral or not, but had no trouble in clos
ing out lot which has kept me com.
pany for quite long time because buy
ers refused to view the price as | saw it.

Many cigar manufacturers are COM
planning, in a confidential way. that bus
mess IS not up to expectations. AS a
matter of fact, the demand for goods,
instead of falling off in the latter part of
June as it usually does, continued strong
throughout the most of July; and the
slackening of trade which manufacturers
are now feeling is nothing more than the
delayed let-up, which, had it come in
season, would have been accepted as
matter of course. The spring and early
summer trade has been exceptionally
good this year, and manufacturers should
be we'll satisfied with the general results.

In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908,
the internal revenue from tobacco was
IS 423, ia less than in the preceding fis-
cal year. Notwithstanding this decrease,
the consumption of manufactured tobac-
co of all kinds, with the exception of ci-
gars weighing not more than three
pounds per thousand, increased. The
decrease in revenue was due to with
drawal of taxes consequent upon the
Spanish war.

The treasury statistics of imports and
exports of foreign leaf for the fiscal year
ending June Both last show consump
tion of sc, 800 bales of Sumatra leaf in
the manufacturing trade during the
year, which is an increase of something
over 1900 bales over that of 1902. In
filler leaf more than 175,000 bales were
obtained from Cu1a, or 10000 bales
more than the preceding year. These
figures prove that the year must have
been a prosperous one with the manu-
facturers in the quantity of their output
for domestic leaf stocks have been drawn
upon more heavily than the imported
leaf So long as the manufacturers can
show an increasing business the dealers
are not without hope, for the market is
nowhere overstocked. These figures are
alike encouraging to the producers of
domestic leaf for they bring assurance
that goods suitable for the needs of the
trade will most assuredly be needed.
The market is ready for another good
binder crop.

The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1903-03-06

THE St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat (republican) is of the
opinion that the democratic
party has about run out OF
material for presidential can
didates when it considers
Cleveland as a possibility.
The Globe hopes that democ-
racy will put up some one
who will at least make the
campaign interesting, and
says the outlook for this
with Cleveland would be
dark. The naked truth
about the matter is that the
Globe fears the name OF
Cleveland and trembles for its
party when it is mentioned
but it need have no fears
along that line, for Mr..
Cleveland has said that he
would not be a candidate, and
those who know anything OF
the man know that he means
what he says. There are
others, however, and at the
proper time a candidate will
be chosen who will interest
the gang the Globe galIops
with.

bility God has given-you in training
your children. They must attend a
good school regularly for many
years if you intend or expect them
to fill that hearts desire you have for
them to do or be something more
than ordinary in life. What is the
cost? If you are worth $1,000 you
pay So school tax per year. If you
have three children you pay the
paltry sum of one dollar each for
their schooling per year. 1t costs
you five times that sum to feed
your dog for one year. Are not
those children whom you love worth
a hundred fold more than this? We
need better and longer schools, bet
ter qualified teachers and better
school houses. | know you thro W
up your hands and cry out in hor-
ror every time taxes are mentioned
in your presence. You dear buga
boo, take down your hands and
count the cost. You say taxes are
eating you up. You honestly do
not mean what you say. You live
on from year to year and spend
absolutely foolishly and uselessly
more than your taxes. Be honest
with yourself. Ask yourself if
you can remember at any time the
past year any thing you have done
or said or paid toward the better
ment of the school in your COM
munity. Did you do all that duty
and your bright happy children de-
mand? Don't you think you could
pay ten cents more on every hun
dred dollars you are worth as a
school tax and 60 without few
cigars or a plug of tobacco? 1
have said all this in love, not re-
buke. Be man worthy Of your
children and ask your neighbor to
help you in working for better
schools. ERNEST MCDANIEL.

Wood Ashes.

Those of the readers of this paper
who live in timber countries and
burn wood for fuel and for other
purposes should know that wood
ashes contain fertilizing material of
great value. And it is in those very
localities where this fertilization is
most needed. One bushel of ashes,
1t is computed, represents two tons
and half of body wood. This
wood has been taken from the land
and nothing given back to repay it
for what it has been robbed of. In
all the elements necessary for plant
life ashes are rich in everything but
nitrogen. Good authorities have
made the following estimate of the
dollars and cents value of this fer
tilizer: One hundred pounds of
ashes contain 16 pounds of potash,
worth so cents; 81 pounds of soda,
worth 2 cents; 81 pounds of lime
and magnesia, worth cents, and
ST pounds of phosphoric acid, worth
26 cents. Putting these at the
lowest prices, 100 pounds of wood
ashes are worth $I.16, which is a
considerable sum TO throw away.

ASHEVILLE TIRED OF TWO
TELEPHONE COMPANIES

Asheville, n. c., July 1-About
four years ago the Asheville Telephone
Co. was formed with capital from the
East and West for the purpose of com
peting with the Southern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph Co. The
new company named rates Of little
more than one-half Of those charged
by the Bell company, and built up an
exchange with something more than
/ 900 subscribers, while the Bell com
pany had only a little more than 400
subscribers.
The board of trade gave their unani-
nous support to the new company,
which, after four years of operation,
now submit their affairs to the board
of trade, showing that they have nOs
made actual operating expenses and
that they have not been able TO set
aside 81, 900 per annum for the pay
ment of their bonds, ~ required, and
that the bondholders can place them
in the hands Of a receiver at any mo-
ment They state that they are IN
able to continue the business any
longer ct the present rates, and ask
permission to consolidate their prop
erty with that of the Soathern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph 90. and in
crease their rates about 80 per cent
After looking into the matter carefully
the board has unanimously endorsed
their application. and the matter nov
goes before the board Of aldermen To-
action on the part of the city.
A large number Of prominent bust
ness men have been interviewed ant
their opinions vary, with the excep
ton that a large ma jority are earnestl.
in favor of only one system. Man,
business men expressed no surprise a
the result, as they do not believe tn
new company could furnish first elias
service at the rates named, and other
complained that the service furnishe
by the new company has been Of
; very inferior quality for more than
: year, and that they would much pm
" fer to pay increased rates for beta
- service.
e On the whole large majority fAv'
- only one system, even at increas'
