fIIe says. -Ths rapid development of
bhe tobacco Industry of the state in
1.-THE counties Of Gadsden, Leon and Pas
co mas become generally known very
recently. Few of our own people
were aware of the large Investments
AID extensive business of growing the
finer grades of cigar tobacco, both
wrappers and filters in Florida
For years the business. has been
the principal one Of Gadsden county,
where some four thousand acres OF
shredded Sumatra leaf are grown. and
also !. large acreage of Havana seed
leaf grown in the open air.
3 "The quality of this TOBACCO, both
filler and wrapper. Is equal to the best
imported. and commands as high 4
rrico as the best Cuban tobacco. There
are Eve millions OF dollars invested in
tobacco growing in the counties Of
Gadsden. Leon and Fasco. Probably
no agricultural pursuit has paid larg-
er dividends on the amount of capital
and labor invested than has the cigar

WILL MOVE WHEAT CROP

SEATTLE. Wash, Nov. 1S.-At a
meeting held here in the Bank of
Commerce between representatives
of the bank. wheat exporters and
wheat growers of the Inland Empire
arrangements were concluded which
assure the financing of the move
ment of the wheat crop of the north
west. Immediately following the
meeting orders were sent out to ac-
tually set the wheat in motion at
once.
As a result the immense whsa'
crop of the Inland Empire--conser. :
atively estimated TO be worth $780,
600, 000-will start on its way to the
markets of Asia, Africa and Europe.
From the Inland Empire there will
begin a flow OF the grain to the ports
of Puget sound and the Columbia
river which will cease only when all
the wheat has been drained from the
fields and warehouses.

acy of silence to shield their guilty
comrades. After investigation, Pres
ident Roosevelt issued an order dis
missing all the soldiers of these
three companies from the service of
the United States army, without
honor"
This order of President Roosevelt
created great sensation and was
denounced by colored people all over
the country. From an idol of the
negroes, the president became In a
moment their greatest enemy" The
action of the president led to numer-
Gus debates in the senate, directed
mainly to discussion of the presi-
dents power in making these whole
sale dismissals. A feature of the dis
cussion was the bitter clash of Senat-
ors TiIlman and Spooner, who engag-
ed in fiery controversy on the race
question.
A resolution providing that the
committee on military affairs make
an investigation of the facts con-
nected with the shooting was passed
late in January. In this committee
as on the senate floor, Senator For
aker of Ohio-animated, it is ALLEGED,
by his desire to secure the support of
the negroes in his presidential cam
paign-espoused the cause of the col
ored men. Senator William Warner,
of Missouri, represented the Roose-
welt administration at the hearing.
With only a few interruptions, the
committee held almost daily sessions
for four months, examining 156 wit
nesses in all, including many of the
negro soldiers who had been dis
missed from the service. other wit
nesses were army officers, gun ex-
perts and city officials and residents
of Brownsville.
A majority of the committee were
apparently convinced that the shoot
ing was the work of the black soldiers
and that the president was within
his constitutional rights in ordering
their dismissal without honor. The
committee adjourned on June IA un-
til today.
The administration supporters, 1t
is certain, will oppose the calling of
additional witnesses, unless Senator
Foraker is able to convince them that
the witnesses he desires to call will
be able to supply great light on the
subject.
1t is believed that Senator Bulke-
ley of Connecticut, will join Sena-
tor Foraker in a minority report.
This report, it is likely, will be con-
| fined to declaration that the pres
ident exceeded his authority in dis
charging the troops. The majority
report will assert that the president
did not overstep his legal rights In
ousting the offending soldiers from
the army, and this report will be
concurred in by all the democratic
members of the committee, all oil
whom are from the south.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The sena-

met here today to resume its eonsid-
Grafton of the Brownsville affair and
will attempt to come to some decision
in respect to the vexed question. II
is probable that one of the first mat
tiers to come before the senate, when
congress meets next month, will be
that of the dismissal of the negro
soldiers concerned in the ARRAY. Sen
ator Foraker, the champion OF the

there will be determined opposition
to a reopening Of the case for the pur-

JApANS COMMERCIAL GROWTH
Little Brown Men Get to the Front
With Business.

While all the rest Of Asia Is treated
as so much territory TO be exploited
commercially, Japan has herself en-
tered the arena as an exploiting ma
ton. and even enterprising America
has to confess that In its trade with
that country the trade balance stands
in Japan's favor. Last year we gold
Japan 100000 worth Of goods.
while Japan sold US s52.509,O00.
And the Japanese are carrying their
goods in their own steamers. built
and manned so eheaply that they are
driving American shipping from the
Pacific.
Japan's commercial advance has
attracted the attention Of Alfred

her treaties forbid Japan 20 carry
out such an extensive scheme Of
