%p1a as oae it se
- -e is nd plaut which has awider
1.to range thntobacco. On this
nti et t grows wlherever planted
from* nada to Patagonia, but with
variationsr of typed due to soil, climate
and expqsure. In the United States
we have almnost endless varieties of the
same, distiiet plant. Ohio tobacce
resembles Maryland, but the one is
easily distinguished from the other,
and both have their chief sale in Eu
rope. The dark tobaccos of Virginia
are different from those of Kentucky,
and the tobacco of Tennessee differs
fgom both. Even in the yellow tobac
co of Virginia and North Carolina dis
tinct varieties with distiut namoa
exist, and in western North Carolina
the tobacco varies in different couties,
although originally grown from the
same seed.
It is Impossible, therefore, to predict
what the 8outh Carolina tobacco of the
fhture will be, and In what material
respects variation from the parent
typo will be produced in the different
localities of the State. Like all plant
other life on our globe, tobacco, oven
in its assisted struggle for existence,
will, in its evolution to the most at
tainable perfect species, accommodate
itself to the influence of the soil upon
which it iheds and the air which it
feeds, and it can only survive as a per
manout type of the plant family to
which it belongs, subject to these con
tibns. Thus the tobacco of the Wins
ton district of North Carolina Is rich
in flavor and substance and of an
orange and somewhat reddish color,
while that of Western North Caroline
is thinner and a brighter yellow, and
lacks the excellence of flavor of the
fbrmer. Perhaps the tobacco of the
Piedmont of South Carolina will more
nearly resemble the former than the
latter.
I trust sincerely that your commis
aloners of agriculture will place at the
disposal of the farmers carefully pre
ared instructions as to the sorts ot to
bacco best adapted to the several divis
ions of soil which characterise the
State from the sea to the mountains.
It were a loss of precious time and of
money for your people to embark in
blind experiments with seed and con
ditions unsuitable to their several lacal
ities. Given suitable soil and climate
the acquisition of the highest attaina
ble type of tobacco may be greatly
hastend and assisted at the start by a
judicious selection of seed grown on
similar soil elsewhere. With the same
care after this in the selection of seed
from your home grown plant as was
exercised by your island planters In
the progressive creation of sea island
cotton, a type of tobacco will be devel
oped better suited to the soils and cli
mates of South Carolina than one
grown from continuous importation
of seed from Virginia and elsewhere.
Tobacco now-a-days, if we except the
sun-cured wrappers of Virginia north
of the James, and the cigar leaf of
other States, must be cured in barns,
heated by smoke-tight flues. This In
volves a large expenditure of fuel, the
supply of which is a consideration o1
prime economy and importance.
It is an error generally received thal
thq soil of any part of South Caroline
resemi:e that of the celebrated Vuelta
Abijfo of Cuba, of the Valley of th<
Connecticut, or of Lancaster county,
Pa. The Cuban, the Connecticut amk
the Pennsylvania soils are similar th<
formation being triassic, and of wlc
formation I can discover no trace any
where in South Cavolina. Doibtlesi
the terraces of your river lands wil
produce good cigar tobacco frn
Havana seed. Certainly, if it can be
ascertained that these- soils resemnbk
th cigar leaf soils of Gadsden county
Florid a, which in the past prodluce(
cigar leaf almost in excellence to tha
of Havana, The census of 1880 gives
the profit per acre from tobacco growi
on Florida soi['as the largest in thi
United States. There is far less differ
ence between the climates of Souti
between the climates of South Caro
ina and of Florida than there is be
tweeni Connecticut and Cuba.
As in everything else, so is It ii
agriculture dangerous to generaliz
fom isolated results. Individ ua
farmers in North Carolina growinj
yellow tobacco have realized $200 ant
more per acre, yet the average pr-ie
for which the crop of this State sold i
the season just closed was not mnor
than thirteen and a half cents a pound
At these figures an average of fly
hundred pounds to the acre for tb
whole State to be about $22.50 neot.
It is not to discourage the farmers o
-South Carolina that I give these de
ductions from facts. It is better fo
them to start their experimental cro p
of tobacco on the basis of moderatel,
estimated profits than upon greatly cx
aggerated expectations der-ived fron
exceptional and rare instrnces of enor
mous returns. It is given only to;
few very skilled anid painstaking farm
ars to achieve such remunerative re
suits as are quoted by newspape
writers as if they were the genera
rule. The great majority of those wh
till the soil with us in the South ar
but indifferent cultivators, or else thei
efforts are cripp)led by inadequate call
ital. However, if the men who tak
hold of tobacco in South Carolina cat
with the altered conditions of labor, d
for this plant what their forefathers di
for rice and sea island cotton, then at
suredly will South Carolina become
great tobacco State, but they hay
everything to learn, and the flrst Aiep
towards success must be taken in
spirit of patient investIgation. Scienc
cannot altogether supply the place (
experience. It can, at best, only indi
cate tile short cuts by which this richl
dowered daughter of time and experi
ment is to be wooed and won. Th
botanical chemist, as a rule, has lel
tobacco severely alone, Hie has anal
yzod the ashes of the dead leaf, bii
there has been no vivisection of th
live plant, no analysis of its sap, whic]
is tho blood whereby it grows. 2
natural bornm alchicimn st at a rough
hewn log barn discovered in a momen
of inspiration the temperature (recordl
ed by a twenty-five cent thermometer
at which the golden yellow of trans
formation was to be caught and fixei
in the leaf as an enduring color. TI
whole enltivation and coring of to
bacco is thus more or less a tradition
In it, as in much else, we to-day onl:
stand upon the threshold of future pos
sibilities.

Pine Straw Manure.
(From the Augusta Chronicle.)
In the Chronicle of September 2
the following appears:
"Mr. P. J. Berckmans says that pine
straw renders manure almost value
less. Southern farmers should knov
this and be wise accordingly."
At the August meeting of the Rich
mond Ccunty Agricultural Society
the subject for discussion being th<
"Management of Cattle," the questioi
of material for bedding purposes wa;
broached, and in my comments upoi
the very able paper of Mr. Staples
who was the essayist for that month,
stated "that pine straw as beddin1
material was undesirable, as it ren
dered the manure almost valueless
and, if used in large proportions, 'I
often proved an injury to the land."
Your reporter gave the correc
words, but by publishing them ha
placed you under the necessity of re
ceiving the explanation of the reason
up on which I base my assertions, aml
I you see proper to publish these,
will thus be enabled to reply to severa
inquiries which have lately been mad
upon the subject.
In an essay upon "Manures," reat
in 1870 before the Richmond Count)
Agricultural Society, when referrinc
to animal manures, I said:
"Although this term, strictly speak
ing, means only such as are produce(
either from the excrements of animal;
or from their flesh, blood or bones, I
Is usually applied to manures pro
duced from the excrements of animalt
and the admixture of straw, leaves, o1
other vegetable matter used as litter
this being commonly termed stabb
manure. The quality depends muct
upon the food given to cattle, as wel.
as upon the nature of the litter used
The richer the food, the richer will bt
the manure produced. Wheat and on
straw, oak leaves, hay, crass, con
stalks, and similar vegetaI le matter
should be freely used for litter. Avoic
pine straw, pine sawdust, or pini
shavings, all being injurious to lant
from the resinous principles the con
tain."
This assertion gave rise at the tim
to considerable discussion and a repl3
to many arguments against It wa
published in the Chronicle. I canno
better answer the queries lately re
ceived than to refer to my reply.
"Pine straw as a mulch Is good. Ai
a disintegrating medium for very stil
clay soils, impermeable to air, It cai
be beneficial, but only for that pur
pose. The leaf of the pine is com
posed of silicate (a hard mineral sub
stance) vegetable fibre and rosin. Botl
silicate and vegetable base are insolu
ble, !ince not available as plant food
The ashes of pine straw, submitted t<
analysis, give less potash as a resul
than the ashes of any other vegetable
the proportion being 0.45 in 1,00
parts. Wheat straw, after the graini
formed, gives 3.90 of potash in 1,00
p)arts, and beforo the heads are forme
yields 4.70 parts of potash; corn stalk
contain 17.5 parts; cow peas from 20.
to 25.0 in 1,000 parts; oak leaves 1.53
willow leaves 2.35; clmi and map)]
leaves 3.90 parts of potash lin 1,00
p)arts. Potato vines are also rich
potash. Potash being one of the mai
constituents of the p)lants we usuall
grow as agricultural crops, It is ev
(lent that a soil deficient ini It cannt
be productive and pine straw cannt
give what is required, because it cai
not undergo a transformation whic
would make it soluble and thus be al
-sorbed by plants.
"Referring to the analysis of sol
of different countrics, it Is shown th<
resinous matter is contained in somi
sterile soils, anid In such rust attacli
wheat, rye or oats.
"This is so well known in portior
in Europe wvhere pine woodls abouni
and where the inhabitants are concede
to be the best agriculturists in til
world, and as careful of p)roducin'
and saving manures as are the Chines<
that no tiller of the soil however shoe
of raw material to bed his cow or pig
will allow any pine straw to be use
Sfor that pur1pose (this article is use~
. for fuel only by the poorer classes)
r* they well know that rust would be tli
a result if used in the manures. Onme<
our tenants covered a part of a flel
. with pine straw, and for several yeai
afterwards could not raise either whie
or clover on It, notwithstandig heav
manuring afterwards.
- "Five years ago I p)lanted Iri

THE MINISTER TO SPAIN.
3
What Doctor Ourry Says of the Recent Ob
jections to His Appointment.
The Rev. Dr. Curry, the newly ap
- pointed Minister to Spain, spent a day
last week at the State Department,
s where he consulted with the Secretary
and Assistant Secretary of State, with
s his predecessor, and with Mr. Wil
I liams, United States Consul-General to
Cuba. To a reporter of the Associated
Press, Dr. Curry said he expected to
y leave for his post on the 5th Novem
- ber. "It is said, sir," remarked the
reporter, "that you were once in com
t mand at Andersonville, and were in
part responsible for the cruelty prac
t ticed toward the Federal prisoners."
s "I never was in Andersonville in my
- life," replied Dr. Curry, "and I never
s had command of Federal prisoners in
I my life, except such as I captured my
[ self and those I turned over at, once.
I I cannot imagine how such a story got
3 its start. I shall be glad if you will
make my denial broad and emphatic."
I "The critics of your appointment,"
continued the reporter, "question the
propriety of sending Baptist clergy
near a court so strongly Catholic."
- "The criticism is unjust," was the
I reply. "It would be a strange thing
s if the strongest denomination in the
t country-you know we are the strong
est-were to be disqualified for diplo
; matic offices on religious grounds. A
e man's religion, I hold, is a thing be
tween his God and himself, and one
with which the Government has noth
1 ing to do. I am a little surprised at
I the criticism too. The hardest strug
gle I have had when in politics was as
a candidate for the Legislature in Ala
t bama during the "Know-Nothing" ex
1 citement. The issues, you remember,
, were two-one a proposition to deny
I to foreigners the priviiege of natualiza
3 tion after six years residence, and the
t other proposition to disqualify Roman
- ists from holding office. My county
was a pivotal one, and my competitor
3 the ablest man on that side of the
r State. My success was very ,ratify
i ing."
"Were you an anti-Know-Nothing!"
- "Yes; I was a champion, I can't say
of the Catholics, but of the principle of
Americanism, which is embodied in
F the Constitution, of equal rights and
1 privileges for all."
- "Of course you anticipate no objec
- tion from the Spaniards to your recep
tion?"
"Certainly not. The Spanish Gov
- ernment knows my mission has nothing
to do with religion."
"I am very much gratified by two
t things, I may say three things," con
, tinued Dr. Curry. "WVhen I was ob
0 jected to on the ground of beinig un
s known, so strong a Republican paper
0 as the Providence Journal vouched for
LI me and said I wvas all right. Again,
a Mr. Washburn's card was exceedingly
D0 gratifying, comning from a Republicaln
;-leader, hi mselt having been eight years
e a Foreign Minister. But the expres
0 sions of apprioval from the colored p)eo
n ple of the South have beena exceedingly
ni hearty and pleasing. My long connec
tion with the Peabody fumnd has made
i- me widely known among them and
it they have taken pains to exp)ress tlair
>t approval of my appointment."

it A delegation of Southern men,
e among whom were Senators Ransom,

King, of Louisiana, was heard last
is week by Secretary Manning and As
(1 sistant Secretary Falirchild in behalf of
d the rice planters. They seek to have
e rescinded or amended an order issued
g duiring Secretary Folger's administr'a
, tion under whic~h they say food rice is
et admitted in large quantities at the rate
,ot 20 per cent., ad valorum instead of
dl paying the specific rate fixed by law.
d The order referred to relates to granu
;lated rice, an article imported largely
e for brewers. The claim is made by
>f planters that importations under this
di ordelr are doing great injury to the

~t has the miatter under advisemont.

AUGUSTA, GA., October 22.--This
beautiful city is so near to Edgefleld
and Is so intimately connected with
the county that no day passes that
several Edgefield men are not seen on
the umbrageous streets. It is easy,
therefore, to obtain the gossip con
cerning the Edgefield atairs which
rarely finds its ,way I ito print. The
all-absorbing topic in Edgefleld at
this time is the lynching of Culbreath,
and it mnst be admitted that the state
nents which are made in Augusta
upon the subject change materially
the aspect of the deplorable affair.
It is asserted that Mr. Culbreath
treated his wife with the utmost bru
tality after her father's death, and that
his conduct was so offensive to the
people that it is surprising that lie was
not lynched at an earlier day. Among
his other offences, it is said that ini a
drunken fit lie lashed his wife severe
ly with a buggy whi p, and when re
monstrated with by her mother lashed
that lady in the same way. As a con
sequence of his behavior, a separation
took place. Mr. Culbreath, however,
continued a surveillance over his wife's
actions, and without any reason what
ever was furiously jealous. As is
known, Mr. Hammond was assassinated
In the yard of Mrs. Culbreath's house
where he had gone at the request of
her son to remain for the night. One
of my informants says that he knows
it to be a fact that Mr. Culbreath
caused Hammond to be assassinated,
and that he was as much the assassin
as though he.had actually pulled the
trigger. This, at all cvcnsa, was be
lieved in the county and was the imoe
diate cause of the lynching, The peo
ple of the county felt that such con
duct should be tolerated no longer,
and they unwisely took the law into
their own hands. Au Edgofieldl man
whom I talked with said, with great
emphasis, that he held that lynching
was never justiflable, but if ever it was
to be justifiable it was so in Cuibreath's
case.
There are now in Edgefield jail more
than thirty persons who are accused
of participation in the lynching. The
accommodations are altogether insuf
ilcient, and the prisoners arc threaten
ed with disease by reason of the condi
tion of the buildings in which they are
confined. They did not apply for
bail, but have suflered severely al
ready, and their suflering is not in
their confinement alone. The accused
form the bulk of the adult male popu
lation of two or more townships in
Edgefield county. They are taken
from their plantations at a busy season
of the year, and in their absence it is
impracticable to control the colored
laborers, who are filching the cotton
from the fields right and left. It is
asserted in all seriousness that many
families will be deprived of bread awl
meat by the arrest of the accused, all
of whom, it is said, are ready to give
bail to any amount that may be requir
ed.
I give thece statements in order that
the public lnay know what is said by
those who are acquainted with the
lynchers, and who feel that the act was
so nearly justifiable that there is no
reason to keep the accused in ,jail, and
who maintain, furthe', tha.t the fas
to be developed before the grand jury
or ini open Court will satisfy the puLlic
mind that no great wrong~ has been
done. Whenm it is ulrg2d that the
Courts should hmave been resorted to, it
is shiownt that the 4riginnel offences of'
Culbreath could not hiave beeni made
the subject of a judicial investigation
without a public scandal.
As regards the assassinat'on of 11am
mond1( there is ai feeling, i a m sorryv to
say, that wvhatever the evidence, Culi
breath wvould ntot have been1 convictedl,
and that lynich law was the only law
that would meet his ease. Thle accusMed
are saidl to be highly respectable, ini
dustrious and well-behaved citizens,
who would ncver', save as a last resort,
be guil"y of an act of' violence of any
kind.
All this is given to the readers of the
.Newvs aml CJourijer, without comment,
and in ordler that they mayv know wvhat
is the Opinion held by t hose whlo clam
to be familiar wvith thle facts of the
case.

An Improbable St of the Early Period
of B.o.ti rotin.
Chauncoy M. Depow has written to
Col. F. D. Grant, giving particulars of
a conversation with Gen. Grant four
years ago at a dinner. Mr. Depew
says that after President Lincoln was
killed and President Johnson iangu
rated, the latter wanted to reject the
terms given by Grant to the Confed
eracv, and wanted all the officers who
had left the regular army to take sides
with the Confederacy summarily dealt
with by court-martial. President
Johnson also wanted to take extreme
measures with all the leaders of the
Confederacy. Grant determined tha:
the terms of the agreement should be
adhered to, and If there were to be
any courts-martial, Gen. Grant would
be the first tried, as he intended to
stand by the parole. Johnson after
wards changed his views. Grant as
cribed Johnson's course to his hatred
of the slaveholders, and when the war
started, believing in the power of the
government, he saw his opportunity to
defeat his enemies, confiscate their
property, and humiliate their pride.
