TOBACCO IN AFRICA.
American Growers viii Have Formid-
able Competitors.

The rapid and successful development
of the tobacco industry in Africa prom
ises to be a formidable competitor of the
growers in the bright tobacco belt OF
Virginia and North Carolina, according
to the statements Of the American To
bacco company and the Imperial Tobac-
co company, who have recently returned
from that company.
Ernest w Howard, who has been in
charge of large tobacco plant operated
by the Imperial Tobacco company Of
London, at Blantyre, Central Africa, is
here spending his vacation.
He says the success in the growing and
the handling of tobacco in Africa has
been phenomenal, and anticipates Ia
course of time that the industry VIII
grow larger and larger and enter into
direct competition with tobacco raised in
this section. All of the manual work ia
Africa is done by the natives.
"All of the modern Methods" SAYS
Mr.. Howard, have been adopted and
the cost of production is reduced to a
very small figure. Land is cheap and ma
tive laborers can be employed at from
70 cents to 81 per month" - Danyille

A Literal Distinction.

Bishop Potter was known as quite a
wit, and often took delight In turning his
hurnor loose on his associates, but here
is an instance where the joke, although
quite unintentional, was on the bishep.
He was to preach at a certain parish
in the west In the evening, and the Goa
gregation was not little amused at the
somewhat ambiguous announcement of
their worthy pastor, who said:
Remember our special service NEXT
Sunday afternoon. The Lord win be
with US during the morning services,
and Bishop Potter In the evening Sue.

Allatoona has not been written up by

dreadful carnage which lasted from
dawn till four o'clock in the afternoon.
The great mistake of General Hood in
attacking Allatoona is this: The Con-
federate scouts reported to Hood that
there were bat two or three regiments
guarding the place and the million
rations stored there, whereas there
were two brigades of the best troops
in the field that had quietly arrived
In the night before the battle, and
nobly did they resist the onward
charges of the Southern hosts and
storming parties, until the leading
Confederate officers were fully con-
yinced that instead of two or three
regiments a whole army of Union
troops had in some mysterious man
ner, suddenly come TO the rescue of
Allatoona and the rations. The fact
was that the troops coming from

At the battle of Cloyds Farm an In
cident occurred the like Of which
have not seen recorded in the annals
Of the war
The Confederates we're outnumbered

them captured.
II, a private in the Forty-nfth

came up in front and IN rear and ON
all sides, and ordered the Confeder-
ates to surrender. which many Of them
were doing, while others were lodging
about and trying to get away. H

down loaded gun, so without raising

all the way to prison, but the boys
kept his secret and he returned home
