PROBLEMS FROM DIFFERENT sTANDpoINTs


Governor Nardman, of Mississippi, in his in.
augural address, declared that "the prowino
tendency OF colored men to assault white wo-
men is the manifestation of the racial desire
for social equality"
Vardman is evidently thinker. And SUD.
posing Nardman is right, we are confronted
with another serious hitch in the race problem
Will the how to check racial desire be in future
platforms?
The growing tendency" of both white and
colored men is fine grower, Judging from the
number OF mixeog bloods. There were some
100000 mnlattoes at the beginning of the war
all fathered by white men. That the number
OF mnlattoes has greatly Increased there is no
doubt; and, also, without doubt, the 'tendeu-
cy'' is all on the white side as to men. and IN
the black side as to women. We'll, it is some.
thing to have all our white women without
racial desire for social equality" but if social
equality of the races is not the thing. then
the. white men and the black women of the
South are away below par-so low that | would
not give whoop tor the whole batch.
Now, one would suppose that great gov.
ernof like the governor of Mississippi, having
thought out cause, would be able to think OIL,
remedy. And perhaps he has, from his
standpoint and the standpoint of the wtite

but to us, the Governors remedy is entirely
inadequate.

HISTORY OF THE pREEMPTION OF GARNET1
Col. D. W. Houston Gives Some More interest
ing Incidents of Early Days.

The legislature of lS57-5S (the first iree-
state legislature) passed an act Incorporating
the Leavenworth, Lawrence & Ft. Gibson Rail
road Company. Dr. Chapman, of Washington
city, was president of this company. The in
corporators were mostly men of Leaveuworh,
Lawrence and Prairie City. 1t was to run
line of railway from Ft. Leavenworth through
Douglas, Franklin, Anderson and Allen coun-
ties to f. Gibson in the Indian Territory.
The nearest point to us that any railroad reach
ed at that time was Jefferson City, Mo.
Everything in Kansas was in embryo. We
were all eagerly watching for the first move
meat in the great network of railroads that we
expected, some time in the dim future, to cover
our state.
One day I think it was about June, 1851
word was brought to Garnett that party was
locating railroad town west of Cedar creek.
ID. w. Houston was at once dispatched to in-
vestigate and report. He found DR.. Chapman
and number of men on the ground, about
where the Gowdy farm now is, busy surveying
town site. Chapman had made preliminary
survey of his road that far, and was laying out
his town. expecting to make it the connty-seat
Houston succeeded in getting the ear of the
Doctor, and told him of the town of Garnett,
of the beauty of the site, the spring, the steam
mill, etc., and thought he might get an inter
est in the town if he would locate his railroad
line through the town. Chapman seemed eager
to accept the suggestion, and came over the
next day to look at the situation and interview
Chas. Hidden, the agent of the Louisville COM
pany
Hidden was an enterprising, alert business
man, and he at once saw the advantage it would
be to the town to have a railroad located through
it. The result was that Hidden offered him
one. fourth interest in the town condition OF
such location.
Chapman, Hidden Houston and others start.
ed down Spring Branch and made a horseback
survey across the Potawatome and up ravine
on the north side of the creek, about mile
west of the present location. The Doctor con-
cuded the route was PRACTICAL; and so the mat
ter was settled, and the first plat of the road
made.
All things wen, pleasantly until the Louis
willie company was heard from. Like Southern
people generally, at that time, they took but
little stock in railroad schemes, and refused to
agree to Hiddcn's offer to Chapman. This
aneered the Doctor, who was a land lawyer and
schemer generally, aud dangerous man to
wake mp. He at once set about looking up the
title b, which the company held the two towns.
He fou I'd it was fraudulent and illegal to locate
Two town sites adjoining He located a pre-
emptiou right on the two eighties on the south
side of Garrett, on which there were no resi-

towns, to protect themselves and their homes,

Mr.. w. E. Whiteley and the Ameri-
can Tobacco Co. are making an expert
ment on large scale, which now bears
every indication of complete success,
says the Owensboro Inquirer. 1t is the
raising of Perique tobacco, which has
heretofore been produced in very linn
tied area in the state of Louisiana. In
vestigation of the character of the soil
here convinced the parties that Perique
would grow here as we'll as anywhere.
Some tests were made which bore out
this opinion, and the seed was procured
from st. Johns Parish, La. The seed
beds were prepared and the crop planted
in accordance with the rules prevailing
in st. Johns Parish, and the result was
surprising. Fifty acres were planted
and it grew beautifully, the stand being
good and the crop remarkably even.
The crop has been given every attention
and the most of it is now in the house.
While it was growing it attracted the
attention of every person who saw it, on
account of the points of difference be-
tween it and the common tobacco. 1t
was as large as the ordinary tobacco, but
the midribs and leaf fibers were much
smaller 1t is being housed and cared
for in manner somewhat different from
that used toward ordinary tobacco, and
in every way its treatment confirms as
nearly as possible to the Perique grown
in the home of the variety. 1t is after
the tobacco is cured, however, that the
work is done that gives the tobacco most
of its distinctive characteristics. 1t cures
up very dark, but it is taken through
other processes which are not clearly un-
derstood, which bring out the peculiar
flavor which makes Perique the favorite
smoke of all who have ever tried it. 1t
the present experiment proves success
it is probable that the culture will
spread and that the supply of this to-
bacco will equal the demand, which it
has never done within its history.
Among the patents recently expiring
is that of d. Glow. GAINESVILLE, Wis, on
transplanter for tobacco. This machine
consists of a suitable frame mounted on
wheels and carrying at each side furrow-
openers. Each wheel carries series of
plant holders which are adapted to de-
posit plants in the furrows. A water
tank is mounted in the frame, and is
provided with suitable spouts and valves
which are automatically operated to
water each plant as it is deposited and
placed in the furrow

No special features marked the busi-

packers has been largely given to an ex-.
animation of the 1908 goods, and they
are still finding what they do not desire.
to find. There can be be no doubt that
the amount of damaged tobacco will ex
ceed that of any crop for some years.
Otherwise, however, the goods appear 20
be of very desirable kind. The sales
that have been brought to our notice
were 250cs of 1903 seedleaf sold by John
D. Skiles; 104cs sold and 155cs of 1903
goods bought by Meiskey & Holland ),
and SECS sold and Tics bought by L. H..
Weaver; in all 669cs. For the CORE
spoI ding week Of last year the sales
were 1632cs.
The buying of the new crop continues
on limited scale. Not more than half
dozen packers, We understand, are in
the field, and these are not. loading
themselves down with the goods. We
understand, also, that the growers are
asking an advance on the earlier price Of
the goods. That, of course, will have a
tendency to check operations. Whether
it is a wise or unwise move must be left
to the future to determine A good rule
is to sell for fair price, if one can get
it, unless the goods are really worth
more than is offered for them. But this
is matter which each grower must de-
eide for himself.

connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The ears of tobacco growers are wide
open for news of the buyers The mu-
tual query now is: Have you sold your
tobacco yet? if so, when do you deliver
it," Growers have heard that the as
sorters have begun to handle some crops;
two in Springfield, Bidwell & Loomes,
and one other firm. One or two have
started or will start up very soon in Hat
field, and | have heard of some asserting
at Hartford and in other parts Of the
valley. Ii we have plenty of damp
weather we shall soon hear of more shops
starting.
Lichtenstene q Hale, tobacco buy ers,
have been around asking one or two
men, whose tobacco they had bough', to
be sure to take down as much of their
crops as they can handle if it gets damp
enough to strip, for they are in hurry
to get a carload assorted and ready for
the market as soon. as it can be force
sweated and dried off enough to show.
The truth of the story is that there is 10
stock in the market that the manufact-
urers desire to handle, and, as conse-
quence, they have been buying from
hand to mouth just to keep square with
their customers. 1t will be close to the

October, and early in the month at that.
All these facts point to the other fact,
that there is scarcity of working stock

MIAMIsBURG, o., Oct. IA, 1904

Local tobacco farmers have succeeded
in harvesting free from frost one of the
best crops ever grown here. The season
was propituous from start to finish,
everything seeming to conspire toward
the production of perfect crop. Taken
all in all, the crop is about as near per
lection as one ever expects to see one,
and to cap the climax old Jack Frost
has stayed entirely away, so that even
the laggards have safely housed their
crops before they were nipped. The
crop is now undergoing the curing pro-
cess in the best manner possible. Con-
siderable of this years crop of broad leaf
and Dutch tobacco has been contracted
by eastern and western parties at prices
varying from to cents through in the
neighborhood of Brookville. No attempt
to contract the crop of 1904 in the vicin-
ity of Miamisburg has yet been reported

New YORK, Oct. Is, 1904
Trading is fairly active in the leaf
market The lack, however, of sound
wrapper and binder leaf in last years
domestic crops is beginning to restrict
the volume of business. The opportu-
nifty for doing business is all that can be
desired, but the material is wanting to
crafty the demand. AS exhibited in
these columns, the cigar industry has
begun to prosper again and if the revival
continues, to head any previous record
in its output. This means a stronger
and more persistent demand for sup
ply of leaf, the more urgent because the
cigar factories have of late years fallen
into the habit of stocking up only from
as it were, how is the cigar industry 60
ing to get it's supply of domestic leaf for
an increased output? The short-sighted
policy practiced of late SO extensively to
lay in a supply only for immediate needs
will have its revenge to the detriment of
those following it. No wonder that the
very large factories are growing out of
all proportion. And they do SO because
they are never caught short of stock as
they are provident enough to fill up with
the yields of good crop or when the
market is well provided, even if they
have to pay cent or so more for desir-
able stock.
The Sumatra market continues in ex-
cellent shape, although transactions are

JAMES LILLE, w 1S., wv Icj IcOI.
A good busy week in the leaf market
is something out of the ordinary now
days, and this one can be recorded as
one of the exceptions. Not so many
sales were made, but those that were
closed were of good amount. Mr.. A.
n Jones has the honor of making the
largest deal of the week and perhaps the
largest of the season, in old goods, the
amount being 696cs of 1902 and it is
claimed will aggregate nearly $4,000.
NJ. f. Greene makes some good deals
and cleans up 484cs s-257 of 1903, oil of
1902 and 60 of 1900 0. G. Peterson of
Racine disposes of 6S boxes of filters
from packing in this city. L. B. Carle
& Son sell 150cs of 1901,O2 and buy six
cases of the same goods G. j. Jones
sold during the week 1000 lbs. of filters
to Covington, KY, firm.
There is not as yet very much inquiry
for the leaf that now hangs in the shed,
by local dealers, and the only ones that
are reported in the field seeking this
class of goods are few of the American
men who have failed to make any con-
tracts that are worthy of recording, the
growers desiring to hold their leaf for
better inducements when they get into
the bundle form. The price has made
no material increase and still stands at
s to II cents.
