C., Jan. 7.?Special: Since the dramatic experiment by the ''Kings Daughters" of Xcw Hope on the night of the 1st was such a brilliant success, we feel compelled to believe that hrpatia's dream of drama is realized. The entertainment certainly proved to as that so-called professionals are not the only troupes capable of entertaining. The program for the evening was exceedingly varied. At G.30 the curtain was drawn aside md the actors and actresses faced as large an assembly as the hall was capable of containing. The first piece 3ii the program was the popular farce, 'Arabella's Poor delations"?one ulaze of wit and humor from beginning to end. The characters were Miss Eugenia Douglass as Arabella Taylor, Miss Maime Brfceas hercousin Mary, Mr. It. C. Sterling as Josh Hopkins, and Mr. AV. Leoit Itosborough is llobert Clarendon. The curtain irose on a quarrel between i he "proud uid imperious'' Arabella and her lovng, humble cousin, Mary. In this Miss Douglass' assumed anger was u-f-istir. in the extreme, and Miss Brice's ipparent lack of resentment rendered ;hc scene (juife pathetic. Mr. Sterling jersonated the ridiculous Josh llopcins to perfection. Mr. llosborough u the cultured character of Clarendon icted with a grace and dignity unusual 11 amateurs. But a more important part of the program forbids ?ur dwell*g on this. Arabella's Poor Relations" being completed and deservedly cheered, C/xrtiol ^locc " n drama in five J- lib V_* ict?, was annoncecl to the audience. This was certainly the crowning piece af the evening. The characters were as follows: Charles Thornly, a confirmed drunkard was personated by Mr. W. L. Rosborough; Eva Thornly, his wife, by Miss Eugenia Douglass, "Robert Brittle, Esq.," by Mr. J. C. Douglass; Nettie Nettleby, his "fair censort,*' by Miss Bessie Mitchell; John Farley, a bar keeper, by Mr. U. J. Stevenson, Mrs. Farley, by Miss Ella Sterling. Harold Hadley, by Mr. Sterling, and Dr. Slater, by Mr. C. H. Douglass,. , The wonder ef the audience at first 11 1 ?? f fa m n f o was tnat anuueius sjiuuiu Atu/tujiw ?? drama so difficult, but -when the curtains closed on the first aet, .they were censured for not attempting: somethingstill more tragic and dramatic, as success was evident in every feature of ihe performance. The first act revealed the condition of a b?me cursed by intoxication. Eva Thoralv was a victim of this misfortune and constantly throughout the play was either scorning the enemies of her drunken j husband, or pathetically appealing for, providential aid. Miss Douglass certainly performed meritoriously the difficult part of changing from temper io pathos. Lamenting the misfortune 111 temperate XilldV<tUU uo Uttrural to her talent as scorning the suit of the infamous "Squire Hollis," (personated by Mr. J. E. Stevenson.) 3lr. Resborough was as good support as could hare been wished. Throughout the performance the audience was constantly attracted by his ability as ;ui actor and ?ever failed to relapse into silence whenever he appeared. His rival, '-James Hollis,*' was represented as a character totally destitute of manhood X? one aet?r in the drama contributed m#re to the success thaa Mr. J. E. Stevenson. He seemed perfectly at ease, and in almost every joortion of the play he appeared in a well-assumed sly and stealing manner that suggested te the spectators' mind the exact character Intended for H?llis. D.AlioK'.r mfich 9t*r<*r>Hva and JL lUUAUij lliV UiUJU certainly the most amusing characters were "Robert Brittle" and "the June "blossoms of liis affections," Nettie Nettlebr.

Nettleby appeared.* Whenever Mr. Douglass and Miss Mitclaell appeared the audience listened with every faculty of interest, and the young actor and actress held undisputed sway. Miss Mitchell performed her part with astonishing- grace, and Mr. Douglass admirably showed the ridiculous but honest Brittle's character almost t? perfection. The author e^iaSBti^ritttfiJlided for the success of "his drama t? hingS jtajJheperformauce of these tw? characters^ D?uglass and Miss Mitchel must "havCarrived at the same cenclusien judging by tke excellence of the acting. Althongh-no effort was visible, we are compelled to believe that the play must have be?n rehearsed and re-rehearsed time again for amateurs to approach so *ear perfection. One of the most Sathetic scenos was the murder of ohn Farleys wife. Mr. C. J. Stevenson has been highly complimented in his performance of this. Miss Sterling did not prove the general rule that tragedy is impossible for amateurs, but rather proved the rule a fallacy in the death of Mrs. Farley. Her acting deserves comment. Shortly after the murder of Mrs. Farley, her husband in his despair commits suicide and dies by her side. These are represented as being the "victims of the bottle." The temperance lectures were well personated. When the "'Social Glass" was finished the crowd was entertained by a delightful oyster supper, but this deserves little space when so many things of a rarer and more enjoyable nature superseded it. After the oysters were served, the home was restored to order to listen to a beautiful recitation by Miss Louise Kirk, patrick. She repeated it in a graceful and pathetic maaner, and was greatly applauded. This was followed by "a "Tin* Pain in the 1 lUiV/UlVUO A..W ? _ Side" produced by Mr. J. C.Douglass, the victim of the pain, and Misses Roberta Rosborough and Bessie Siraonton. This literally ''brought down the house." After this came the tableau "Magic Wedding" followed by a semi-tableau "Hurly-Burly." This closed the entertainment, and the audience dispersed feeling no doubt that the actors had been cheated by not charging fifty cents for admission. If in the future the "Kings Daughters" should attempt another such entertainment we advise Fairfield C?unty 1 - -L nffanrl Wa 10 raaKe 11 cuiiTeiiicui/ mu^uu. .iv advise, furthermore that the Wiunsboro Dramatic Club revive lest they be superseded. tete-a-tete.

The seed should be obtained, and seed beds planted at nee in this month if possible. From what I can learn from reading, and otherwise, the tobacca grower, manufacturer, jobber, and all are confronted by the Great American Tobacco Trust, which like a * - ? in cn/^lr flip great ?ciopu^ imuatcuo iv uuv? very life blood out of the whole business, but I also notice that efforts are being made to break their hold if possible. I think that the successful culture of tobacco depends more upon the careful cultivation, handling-, and curing of the weed, combined with the right quality of soil, than any crop we can grow, but you will see from one of the clippings sent that some have made as high as $500 per acre with proper management. I know that 1 - - ?t :i I grey lauds, witn net zoo sou suu&vn ? i considered best for raising bright tobacco that brings the fancy prices. I notice that Mr. "W. II. Snow, of High Point, N. C., the originator of the new process of curing tobacco, has been offered and has accepted a placc worth $4,000 by some town in Georgia to teach the people of that section how to grow tobacco. 1 think tobacco raising on a small scale would be one of the best adjuncts we could find to the cotton crop, the curing of same just filling in the tinae between the laving br of cotton, and * -11 the gathering of sam?, tnus gmug ajj idle hands at that time something to do, women and children included, and then you see we would not have all our eggs in the same basket. So taking all things into consideration let us not go too fast, hut for the combined purpose of testing the soil, as well as ourselves, I would suggesi that where one person docs not fee] able to lest the matter for himself, lei two or three neighbors combine, and plant say one acre cach, and all euro in the same barn, and pack away ami grade in same warehouse, and divide j the expense of hire, etc., of experi 1 - " -? - -c ?.v between tneai. now a icn hviuo ?i the cotton question, and I am done Suppose that by tie combination ol all the farmers, "with the assistance oJ all the factors, merchants and all tha are interested in the price of cotton it the cotton belt, "we thi; years crop;to say six million bale?~aiK ?et^y?^per" pound for it, -woulc get-the cotton fever ??

So how are we to ! solve the problem, in the attempt to <> I reduce the acreage. There will have to | be unison of sentiment and action between the farmer in ms present condition, and the merchant, or factor, for I venture to say that three-fourths " of the cotton now raised is grown by (: our colored brother, or the white man ( who is dependent on some one else ( for supplies to make the cotton, and s then if the acreage was reduced one yaar we would not be enabled to keep it so without some law to that eflfcct. If this plan does not have ihe desired . -glljpctj then each individual farmer will have to^eiiGagen the production by planting less acr&ftge^and making not r less than a bale per aSHi .or more, > which will give him more time^fsr-^ej i. production of other crops.

In 1889 Mr. Ramon, who lives in ' Madison comity, not far from Asheville, raised 16,232 ponnds of leaf 1 from a single crop, lie averaged 40 cents per poand for bis entire crop, the tobacco selling for 86,587.50. His total expenses in making and selling the crop wer? $2,250, leaving him a net profit on the crop of $4,537.50. Mr. R. H. Ricks lives near Rocky Mount, in this State, and is one of the pioneer tobacco growers in that section. Year before last he planted 25 acres in tobacco and averaged 725 pounds of leaf per acre. He also sold his crop at an average of 40 cents per lb., thu3 , realizing $12,450 for the. crop. Mr. ( Ricks' profit was over $8,000 on this single crop of tobacco. Mr. Y/alter Lindsay lives near nnrl r.mmnenced ffrowinsr tebacco ou a small scale a lew years ago. His first crop ?f three acres brought him $868, and his second , crop?same size?Si,188. Near the farm ot Mr. Lindsay is that of Mr. Z. Groome. His *87 crop of tobacco brought him $7,500, and his 'S8 crop $9,500, nearly all of which was clear money, as the crop was not large and was economically managed. At Lucama, in this State, Mr L. F. Lucas has been making some remarkable yields of tobacco during the past few years. He has made a fortune quickly and is going into tobacco ' m/wo lnrorAlv prrprv vear. ?iurv in;; . ^ . , Last season he reached the climax efj his experiments so far bv growing upon a sinarle acre $500 worth of the weed. Mr. L. E. Ripple, of Davidson county, planted 8 acres in tobacco last year, the product *f which sold for $1,747. Iu addition he cultivated 22 acres in corn, grain, etc. His entire farm expense did not exceed $500, leaving him a net profit of over $1,200 upon a 30 acre crop. Last year Mr. F. D. Tillev, in the extreme eastern part of the State, cleared, above all expense?, $637 upon a small tobacco crop of 3.} acres. In addition to this he grew his own supplies, and the money made was clear profit. Mr. R. D. Armstrong, in Nash county, made a clear profit of $10,000 on his crop of tobacco two years ago. In 1S87 Mr. F. M. Rodgers, Jr., of Florence, S. C., cleared 82,930 on a crop of 20 acres, and in 18SS his net profit on 30 acres was $6,560, a total profit of $9,490 on t?vo crops.?Southern Tobacco Journal.
