AMONG THE EXCHANGES
Mr. William Watts Ball.

With the announcement of the pass
ing of Major llemphiIl. from the News
and Courier to the Times Dispatch of
Richmond, speculation became rife as
to who would take the stand at the
masthead of the News and Courier.
Naturally, W. w. Ball of The State.
was considered and the following from
Bamberg Herald will be read with
more than the usual interest bv the
many friends of Mr.. Ball in Greenville
and throughout the state and the
South
we hear it rumored around pretty
strong that w. W. Ball. now of the
Columbia State. will take the position
of editor of the News and Courier
when Mai. IIemihill goes to Richmond
next month. Mr.. Ball was formerly
on the STAFF of the News and Courier.
leaving that paper some months ago
to go with The State. We are very
glad il the news be true. Mr.. Ball is
brilliant newspaper man, a writer of
force and conviction, and withal n
most companionable man. He will no
doubt succeed in bringing the News
and Courier and Charleston into closer
touch with the balance of the state.

A Good Home Institution.

Practically an agricultural university
is now available to students in the
Maryland Agricultural College, which,
through it's many departments, offers
instruction in farming and all its cor
related sciences. From the surveying
Of the land down through the analysis
of the soils and the fertilizers to apply
to them, the study of the plants and in
sects which are either reared by the
farmer for his benefit or with which
he must become acquainted in order to
overcome their ravages, the culture and
harvesting of the crops and their ulti-
mate disposition, whether by feeding
or market-all are taught both by pre-
cept and example, not overlooking the
problems of conservation of timber and
fertility of the soil. In addition to all
this, the college gives a thorough
classical education, thus appealing to
those who desire to enter into teaching
or one of the professions instead Of
farming. The cost of tuition and board
is ridiculously low when compared with
some other institutions of learning
which do not compare favorably with
our home school in the character and
quality of instruction given. The Sc
lection of the Maryland Agricultural
College by the Federal Government as
one of the few schools from which
graduates will be admitted directly into
the Army as second ~lieutenants is a
guarantee of it's efficiency.

Tobacco Ought To Stay Home.

Maryland tobacco ought to stay at
home and ought to be manufactured
here into marketable products, is the
view of Mr.. H. j. Patterson, director
of the Experiment Station at the
Maryland Agricultural College. He was
more than ever impressed with the
practicability of his suggestion after
his return from the farmers meeting
at La Plata last week.
'In every Southern Maryland town.
said Mr.. Patterson, there ought to be
a factory to turn homegrown tobacco,
into cigars, cigarettes, smoking tobacco,
chewing tobacco and snuff. If toma-
toes, corn, peas, beans, peaches and
other fruits can be p~roftably canned
on or near the scene of the raw product,
there is no reason why tobacco cannot
be manufactured at or near where it
is grown.
ut is my opinion that not only
would these factories be sources of pro-
fit, but they would also furnish employ
ment for home labor, for homegrown
vegetables and for other home products,
including poultry, eggs, milk, beef,
mutton, and pork. If others can manu-
facture Maryland tobacco proitably
there is no rerson why we cannot. II
a Frenchman can convert Maryland
tobacco into delicious cigarettes, which
we import and for which we pay two
cents each, there is no reason why we
cannot do the same thing and reap the
enormous profits. Maryland tobacco
is converted into the best smoking
tobacco in the world, but not by Mary,
land factories.
ANY planter a grow tobacco
There are but few planters, however
who can cure it successfully. There is
room for improvement which woulc
mean better prices for our tobacco"
Maryland tobacco is being extensive
ly purchased by Virginia manufacturer:
and is being mixed with the Virgin;
product. Holland. which buys the
| bulks of its tobacco supply in Baltimor'
has recently complained of the qualit!
of the product, but has not diminished
it's orders. France is another EXTENSIVE
purchaser of MARYLAND tobacco.
