New Hope, S. 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. In ererr thrilling and exBfo^>ortion

N?tti? 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

TOBACCO CULTURE.
A V?ry Interesting Discussion and Some
???TtChnnId I)# an Ad
UOOU OU^gCSUWMo ^ W
junct Crop.
Messrs. Editors: Noticeing a piece
from T. P. Mitchell, Esq., in the last
News and Herald and your request
fer discussion in regard to the cultivation
of tobacco in Fairfield, I enclose
you several clippings from the Southern
Tobacco Journal, with the request
that y?u publish them at your discretion.
I will also state for the benefit
or.^ fi,of cop. fit to embark in the
VJ. ctlij yvv ?.V v
culture of tobacco, that it is inaispensible
that they subscribe f?r this Joarnal
at once, the price of which is $2.00,
and by so doing they will get five of
the best varieties of tobacco seed free,
as you will sec by the clipping sent
you. 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

| plant large crops again, and thus re- (
I duce the price? 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. But what p

let us hope and strive for a better day.
I notice from late financial reports that .
the condition of the country as a whole i
is far better than at this time a year (
ago, and maybe we will feel the effect
after a while by others being more
able to buy what we produce, l. t. w.

SUCCESSFUL TOBACCO GROWERS (
A Few Instances of Money Making On
a Well Regulated Tobacco Farm.
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
