A BIG TOBACCO CONCERN. Company Chartered nt 87,0<K>,000. 0JN,OOO Acres Lund Rought. What s boUeved to be the largest land deal ever consummated In tho State o? Georgia took place on Tues day of -last week when twenty-two corporations and firms in the States of Georgia nnd Florida signed deeds for the transfer of 35,000 acres of land in Decatur county, Georgia, and Gadsden county, Florida, to the American Sumatra Tobacco Company of Georgia. This company was incorporated in Atlanta several weeks ago with a capital of $7,000,000, and of this amount $1,000,000 of preferred stock has been contracted for, nil of which has been sold in New York, Chicago and Boston. For some months the tobacco grow ers of Southern Georgia and North west Florida have boon working on ithe formation of tho American Suma tra Tobacco Company, with Abraham Cohen as the prime mover. He ls one of the largest 'tobacco growers in the world, and his share In the new company ls said to be worth $1, 700,000. Ono of the promoters, speaking of the new company, said: . "The Ameri can Sumatra Tobacco Company, when perfected, will be the largest tobacco growers In the world. We have deeds to about 35,000 acres of land-the best tobacco land In the world-and we will grow the best tobacco In the world from Sumatra seed. The to bacco we grow will be used for wrap pers only. For several years the to baco raisers in this section have been trying to grow a grade of tobacco that will have no superior In the world, and as a largo per cent of the land ls now under cultivation for that grade of tobacco, we believe that wo will produce the highest grade of Sumatra tobacco grown. It wll be a big thing for thc State, as the ship ping In of fertilizers and tho shipping out of tobacco will be very heavy. We estimate to ship from three to six million pounds during the next year. -< . i - Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S C AST O R I A Olive and Cotton Seed Oil. (Washington Post.) It is related that ono bitter cold morning, that greatest of ali the American newspaper men, Horace Greeley, went to his desk in The Trib une Building, 'thrust his boot-clad feet luto a receptacle that was sup posed to be steam-heated, and pro ceeded to write one of those match less editorials that were gospel to tens of thousands of his readers. It was not till he had finished that he found the box In which his feet were to be as cold as an Iron wedge. Im agination had heated his brain and his feet were oblivious of the cold. Norway has Just packed 00,000,000 tins of sardines, and because of the high price of olive oil most of them are preserved In refined cotton seed oil, and one with the least imagina tion will be assured that all the oil is immediate from Lucca, In which they are packed, when he eats of them. Indeed, experts have been designat ed to taste and decide which sar dines came from the olivo oil and which from the cotton seed oil, and their judgment was all at fault, in some Instances pronouncing Ilsh pre served in olive oil that were taken from cotton seod oil, and In others deciding fish taken from cotton as olive preserved. The olive tree is a perennial; the cotton plant is an annual. That is one difference. Another is that the cotton plant yields a lint, but for which it would never be grown, whereas the olive tree yields nothing hut the fruit. Yet there ls something in the name. King David partook of olives. Emperor Napoleon never heard ol' cotton seed oil. Hut tills is a practical age, and if cotton seed oil can he proved as wholesome and as palatable as the olive oil we may ho sure the latter will recede before the former, as did the buffalo before the short-horn and tho rod men before the white.

Senator E. D. Smith, ot South Car olina, last week Introduced in the United 'States Senate a comprehen sive drainage bill, the provisions of which will be of Inestimable value to alt parts of the South which contain large areas of swamp land. Follow ing the action of the Senate coaunlt tee on agriculture, which voted to place back in this year's agricultural bill the item of $80,000, killed In the House, Senator Smith decided lo ln troduoo the bill referred to without further delay. The bill will follow the general lines of the law applica ble to the opening up and develop ment of many parts of the West, where arid lands have been reclaimed by irrigation and made to produce bountiful harvests. The new bill has as its main pro position that persons with large areas of swamp land, who are unable to drain it, may mortgage it to tho gov ernment and have it properly drained, with the understanding that they will have the option of reclaim lng lt and paying off the mortgage during a certain number of years. Thus the governmont will eventually be repaid, and the owners of tho land, which in many instances is now with out value, would come into posses sion of excellent crop-producing areas. There are thousands of acres of such land in South Carolina, Flor ida and Georgia which would feel tho good effects of such a law. Tlie First Church in America. (Leslie's Weekly.) A short while ago an article ap peared In ono of the newspapers to the effect that the Marble Collegiate church, of New York, was the first church founded In America, and that lt dates from 1626. "America," in this case, includes Mexico and the Southern continent. This, however, is not true. Cathedrals were built and dioceses were established in South America as early as 15 26. The diocese of San Domingo was founded In 1404 and has had a regular succes sion of bishops over since. In the United States there were churches In Florida and New Mexico long before 1 000. The Marble Collegiate church ls undoubtedly the oldest church la New York. The Collegiate sect ls pre-eminently a Dutch one. The earliest settlers in New York founded Ibis church. A Xighl Alarm.
