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.

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.

E. D. SMITH'S DRAINAGE BILI..
Was Introduced in the United State*
Kennte Last Week.
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.

mitted suicide In Columbia Thursday
of last week by taking a large dose

to tarja his Ufe, but little was thought
of it at tho time. The fact that
Padgett was deeply in love willi an
inmate of one of the houses of ill
fame in Columbia, and that his affec

tho cause for his act.

When the former was arrested a

overcoat pocket. Those coins were
exhibited as evidence against him
at the trial this afternoon, Tho

of a white molal plated with gold and
could be readily passed as genuine

Weighing only a little more than ono
