"Nellie Bly," Dead.

Mrs. Robert L. Seaman, Sc, who
under the name of Nellie Bly, has been
for some years one Of the best known
newspaper writers in the United
States, died of pneumonia last Fri
day morning at st. Marks Hospital
IL New York.
At the time of her death she was
a member of the staff of the Evening
Journal.
Mrs. Seaman probably was the
pioneer woman writer to invade the
field of sensationalism, and through
out her life she experienced many
unusual adventures. She began writ
ing as a young girl in Pittsburgh,
signing her own name, Jane Elizabeth
Pink Cochrane. An editor called her
Nellie Bly, and she adopted the name
and had used it ever since, bringing
it to New York when she broke into
the Metropolitan newspapers field.
She wrote under the name for years
answering love and household ques-
tions and in general .devoting her pen
to articles dealing with factory girls
corporation scandals and investiga-
tions of all sorts. She spent week
as an inmate of an insane asylum
and wrote an expose that caused many
reforms. Her best known feat, how
ever, was a trip around the world in
1889 to better Jules Verne's eighty
days. She made the trip in II days
6 hours and II minutes.
She was married in 1895 to Robert
L. Seaman, a wealthy manufacturer
almost twice her, age. She inherited
his fortune when he died fifteen years
later but lost much of her money in
litigation forced upon her by forgeries

Tobacco Grading Bill Passed.

The Tobacco Grading Bill has a.
last passed the South Carolina Legjs
lature and become lew. There has
been hard fight over this bill fol
the past ten years, but at this meet
ing of the legislature all opposition
practically disappeared.
Most of the best farmers for some
time have been "culling" or picking
their tobacco before marketing it
This, for all practical purposes is the
same as grading. To meet the re-
quirements of this bill, the only ad-
ditional work will be the tieing
Since the boil weevil has made its
destructive appearance and the cot
ton acreage has been so greatly re-
duced, all of the tobacco growers will
have ample time in which to put their
tobacco in a more marketable con-
dition. They will also be able to use
their seed cotton houses for pack
houses. However, it will be we'll for
every tobacco planter to begin to fig
ure now on 4 storage place for his
1922 crop. A splendid pack house
can be cheaply constructed. A pole
house, daubed like his curing house
and with a double floor and ceiled
over head makes IN ideal arrange
ment. The floor should be eighteen
inches or two feet from the ground.
Rough boards can be used for both
ceiling and flooring. Almost any
outhouse can be easily converted in
to a desirable pack house, with but
little cost. It is to be hoped that
the day of handling tobacco in South
Carolina like shucks is past. The
farmer realized that he was losing
money by taking his tobacco direct
from the curing barn to the ware
house for sale, but could not help
himself.
All of the tobacco handled by the
cooperative marketing association
would have been graded and tied any
way. A good rnany farmers who re-
mained out of the association on ac-
count of this feature, will now doubt
less sign up at the first opportunity.
One of the most prominent features
of all cooperative marketing is to
put the commodity in the most pre-
sentable form before offering for sale.
