AGRIOIULTURAL DEPARTM%L ef 20EACt ExEERIMENDl lreesan onsto be Taken to Make it Sue essuIa There is no plant which has a wider 'limatic range than tobacco. On this Continent it grows wherever planted Yrom Canada to Patagonia, but with yariationsof types due to soil, climate and exposure. In the United States we have almost endless varieties of the ame distinct plant. Ohio tobacco iegembles Maryland, but the one is sasily distiog'ished from the other, and both have their chief sale in Eu rope. The dark tobaccos of. Virginia are -diffierent from those of Kentucky, 'and the fobacco of Tennessee differs from both: Even in the yellow tobac co of Virginia and North Carolina dis tinct varieties with distinct names exist, and in western North Carolina the -tobacco varies in different couties, although-'rniginaHy grown from the same seed.' It is im osaible, therefore, to predict what the South Carolina tobacco of the future will be, and in what material respects variation from the parent typ "w be produced in the different localv'es of the State. Like all plant other life on oul- globe, tobacco, even in itstassisted' struggle for existence, will, in its- evolution to the most at tainable perfect species, accommodate itself to the Ifinuence of the soil upon which it feeds and the air which it feeds, and it can only survive as a per manent type of the plant family to which it bengs subject to these con tions.

It were afss'6f-precious time and of money Id&dnr people- to embark in blind expeiwents with seed and con ditiors unsuiiible 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 judiieswselection of seed grown on simil soitelsewhere.

This difficulty has been common, more or less, to the whole bright tobacco belt.

C., October 10, 1885. Pine Straw Manure. (From the Avgzesta 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 know this and be wise accordingly." At the August. meeting of the Rich mond Ccunty Agricultural Society, the subject for discussion being the "Management of Cattle," the questioE of material for bedding purposes was broached, and in my comments upo:i the very able paper of Mr. Staples, who was the essayist for that month, ] stated "that pine straw as bedding material was undesirible, as it ren dered the manure almost valueless, and, if used in large proportion, i often proved an injury to the land." - Your reporter gave the correcl words, but by publishing them has placed you under the necessity of re ceiving the explanation of the reasons upon which I base my assertions, and if you see proper to publish these, ] will thus be enabled to reply to several inquiries which have lately been made upon the suiject. In an essry upon "Manures," read in 1870 before the Richmond County Agricultural Society, when referring to animal manures, I said: "Although this term, strictly speak ing, means only such as are produced either from the excrements' of animalh or from their flesh, blood or bones, it is usually applied to manures pro duced from the excrements of animal and the admixture of straw, leaves, or other vegetable matter used as litter, this being commonIy termed stable moanure. The quality depends mue upon the food given to cattle, as well as upon the nature of the litter used. The richer the food, the richer will be the manure produced. Wheat and oat straw, oak leaves, hay, grass, corn stalks, and similar vegetable matter, should be freely used for litter. Avoid pine straw, pine sawdust, or pine shavings, all being injurious to land from the resinous principles the con tain." This assertion -ave rise at the time to considerable discussion and a reply to many arguments against it was published in the Chronicle. I cannot better answer the queries lately. re ceived than to refer to my reply. "Pine straw as a mulch is good. As a disintegrating medium for very stifl clay soils, impermeable to air, it can 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. Both silicate and vegetable. base are insolu ble, hence not available as plant food. The ashes of pine straw, submitted to analysis, give less potash as a result than the ashes of any other vegetable, the proportion being 0.45 in 1,000 parts. Wheat straw, after the grain is formed, givea. 3.90 of potash in 1,000 parts, and before the heads are formed yields 4.70 parts of potash; corn stalks contain- 17.o parts; cow peas from 20.0 to 25.0 in. 1,000 parts; oak leaves 1.53; willow leaves 2.35; elm 'and maple leaves 3.90 pa-ts of potash in 1,000 parts. Potato vines are also richin potash. Potash being one'of the main constituents of the planta- usurlly grow as agricultural cro , t is evi dent that a soil deficient in *cannot be productive and pine strWcannot give what is required, because it can iot undergo a transformation whici would make it soluble and thus be ab sorbed by _plants. "Refern-ng to the analysis of soils of different countries, it is shown that resinous matter is contain-ed in some sterile soils, and in such rust attack! wheat, rye or oats. "This is so well known in portions in Europe~ where pine woods abonund and where the inhabitants are~cgpeeded to be the best agriculturists in the world, and as careful of producing and saving manures as are the'Chinese, that no tiller of the soil howeyer short of raw material to bed his cow or pig, will allow any pine straw to be, used for that purpose (this article is used foi fuel only by ,the poorer classes); they well know that rust iiould be the resiult if used in the manures. One oj o~ur tenants covered a part of a field with pine straw, and for several year! afterwards could not raise either wheal or clover on it, notwithstanding heavy manuring afterwards. -"Five years ago I planted Irist potatoes and gave them a heavy mulch ing of pine straw, the ground heing well manured previous to planting th< potatoes. The straw was plowed ir during winter and the ground plantee in corn the following - spring, and thal portion previously mulched prod.uced stalks two feet smaller than theti portion of the field which ha'd, .o ever, never been manured before. Thi second year the field was sown in oats and the difference in the yield being less than half upon the mulched por tion. "The same result has been noticei in the vegetable gai-den, where severa classes of vegetables, especially peas Scould not be grown successfully whei using manure made with pine straw when manure made with either oa straw or oak leaves was used the yieki was always better. "I could- say more, but deem thes remat-ks sufficient to sustain my opin ion, which is the result of persona experience, although it may conflic1 with that of others." Since this was written many year! have passed and nothing has occurred to change my opinion as regards tin~ lack of value of pine straw for manure material. Pine straw which has beeri subjected to the drippings of cattle ha! doubtless shown good results in some soils, and in some especially moist sea sons, and upon certain crops, but this is due solely to the fertilizing proper ties which were taken from the stable in combiination with the straw and despite the presence of the latter in the soil, The writer caused the haul ing from the city, for several years in succession, of from three to four hun dred heavy loads of livery stable .mranure anid had to discontinue the practice, owing to the barren results obtained. . The average material used for bedding being pine straw and pine shavings, which, in many instances, proved a decided injury to the soil, as evinced by the subsequent inferior yield brodtzced thereon,-espeially grain efops. Having paid dearl- for my experience, by an otitlay of an average Qf $300 a year, foi- at least ten years, besides the cost bf hauling heavy loads a distance of five miles from the livery stables to the farm, I believe that 1 am entitled to the opin ion expressed at the heading of this article; and if a careful comparison is made with using manure made with pine straw upon a given portion of a field, and with manure made with wheat or oat straw, corn stal-s, oak leaves or pea vines, using equal pro portions of each, the result will speak for itself. Yours repectfully, J. P. BEnCKMANs. Fruitland, near Augusta, September 30, 1885. THE MINISTER TO SPAIN. What Doctor Curry 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, where he consulted with the Secretary and Assistant Secretary of State, with his predecessor, and with Mr. Wil liams, United States Consul-General to Cuba. To a reporter of the Associated I-ress, Dr. Curry said he expected to leave for his post on the 5th Novem ber. "It is said, sir," remarked the reporter, "that you were once in com mand at Andersonville, and were in part responsible for the cruelty prac ticed toward the Federal prisoners." "I never was in Andersonville in my life," replied Dr. Curry, "and I never had command of Federal prisoners in my life, except such as I captured my self and those I turned over at once. I cannot imagine how such a story got its start. I shall be glad if you will make my denial broad and emphatic." "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 reply. "it would be a strange thing if the strongest denomination in the country-you know we are the strong est-were to be disqualified for diplo matic offices on religious grounds A man's religion, I hold, is a thing be tween his God and himself, and one with which the Government has noth ing to do. I am a little surprised at the criticism too. The hardest strug gle I have had when in politics was as a candidate for the Legislature in Ala bama during the "Know-Nothing" ex citement. The issues, you remember, were two-one a proposition to deny to foreigners the privilege of natnaliza tion after six years residence, and the other proposition to disqualify Roman ists from holding office. My county was a pivotal one, and my competitor the ablest man on that side of the State. My succes' was very gratify ing." "Were you an anti-Know-Nothing!" "Yes: I was a champion, I can't say o( the Catholics, but of the principle of Americanism, which is embodied in 'the Constitution, of equal rights 'and privileges for all." "Of course You anticipate no objec tion from the Spaiiards 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 things, I may say three things," con tinued Dr. Curry. "When I was ob jected to on the ground of being un known, so strong a Republican paper as the Providence Journal vouched for 'me and said I was all right. Again, Mr. Washburn's card was exceedingly gratifying, coming from a Republican leader, himself having been eight years a Foreign Minister. But the expres ~sions of approval from the colored peo le of the South have been exceedingly hearty and pleasing. My long connec tion with the Peabody fund has made me widely known among them and they have taken pains to express their approval of my appointment." "Shall you renew negotiations for a treaty with Spain?" "I can say nothing on that subject." The Duty on Rice. A delegation of Southern men, among whom were Senators Ransom, Harris and Gibson and Congressman King, of Louisiana,.. was heard last week by Secretary Manning . and As sistant Secretary Fairchild in behalf of the i-ice planters. They seek to have rescinded or amended an order issued during Secretary Folger's administra tion under which they say food rice is admitted in large .quantities at the rate of 20 per cent., ad valorum instead of paying the specific rate fixed by law. The order referred to relates to granu lated rice, an article imported largely for brewers. The claim is made by rplanters that importations under this order are doing great injury to the market for food rice. The Secretary has the matter under advisemont.. Do You Know a Man Whose wife is troubled with debility, nervouseess, liver complaint or rhen matismi? Just tell him it is a pity to let the lady suffer that way, when Brown's Iron Bitters will relieve her. Mrs. L. B. Edgerly, Dexter, Me., says, "Brown's iron Bitters cured me of debility and palpitation of the heart." Mrs. H. S. M cLaughlin, of Scarbor ~odgh, Me., says the bitters cured her of debility. Mrs. Harding, of Wind ham Centre, in the same State, says it cured her of dizziness in the head. So it-has cured thousands of other ladies.* Terrific Explosion of Gas. A terrific explosioni of gas took place in No. 2 slope of the Delaware and Hudson Coal Company at Plymouth, Pa., on Wednesday morning, caused by a miner, who entered an abandoned portion of the slope, which was marked dangerous, with a naked lamp on his head. One man, Dennis Tilus, is dead, and fourteen are fatally burned. Burned to Death, and Restored to Life. I know of a man near Maxey's, Ga., who for ten or twelve years was almost a solid sore from head to foot. For three years. his appearance being so horribly repulsive, he refused to let any one see him. The disease after eating his fiesh, commenced on his skull bones. lie tried all doctors andl medicines without benefit and no one thouglet he could pessi bly recover. At last he began the use of B. B. B., and after using six bottles, his sores were all healed and he was a sound man. He looks just like a man who had been burned to death and thea restored te life. The best men of the county k-now of this case, and several doctors and merchant have spoken of it as a most wonderful ease. JOHN CRAWFORD, Druggist, * Athens, Ga. ADVICE TO MOTHERS.

(Special to the Xcies and Courzer.) AUGUSTA, GA., October 22.--This beautiful city is so near to Edgefield and is so intimately connected with the county that io day passes that several Edgefield imell arc not seen on the uibrageous streets. It is easy, therefore, to obtain the gossip con cerning the Edgelield aflairs which rarely finds its .way i-ito print. The all-absorbing topic in Edgefield at this time is the lynching of Culbreath, and it must be admitted that the state ments which are made in Augusta upon the subject change materially the aspect of the deplorable affair. It is asserted that Mr. Cuilbreath treated his wife with the utmost bru talitv after her father's death, and that his conduct was so offensive to the people that it is surprising that he was not lynched at an earlier (ay. Among his other offences, it is said that in a drunken fit lie lashed his wife severe ly with a buggy whip, and when re monstrated with by her mother lashed that lady in the same war. As a con sequence of his behavior, a separation fook place. Mr. Culbreath, however, continued a surveilance over his wife's actions, and without any reason what ever was furiously jealous. As is known, Mr. Hammond was assassinated in the vard of Mrs. Culbreath's house where lIe had gone at the request of her son to remain tor the night. One of my informants says that he knows it to be a fiact that Mr. Culbreath caused Hammond to be assassinated, and that he was as much the assassin as thoughl he had actually pulled the trigger. -This, at all event, was be lieved in the county and was the imme-, 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. An Edgefield man whom I talked with said, with great emphasis, that he held that lynching was never justifiable, but if ever it was to be justifiable it was so in Culbreath'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 ticient, and the prisoners are 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 suffering is not in their confinement alone. The accused form the bulk of the adult male popu lation of two or. inure 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 and 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 theic statements ill order that the public may 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, further,.that- the facts, to be developed before the grand jury or in open Court will satisfy the public mind that no great wrong has been done. When it is nrged that tile Courts should have been resorted to, it is shown that the original offeiuces of Culbreath could not havte been made the subject of a judicial investigation without a public scandal. As regards tihe assassint'on of Haml mond there is a feeling, I am sorry to say, tihat whatever the evidence, Cul breath would not have been convicted, and that lynch law was the only law that woulid meet his case. The accused are said to be highly respectable, in dustrious and well-behaved citizens, who would never, save as a last resort, be guilly of an act of violence of any kind. All this is givenl to the readers of the ews anLd C'ourier, without comment, and in order that they may know what is the opinion held by those who claim to be familiar withl the facts of the case. More Lynchers Committed to Jail. EDGEFIELD, October 22.-Sheriff Ouzts brought to jail last night Morgan Dorn, Elbert Dorn, Richard Ham mond and W. H1. Hammond, charged with being accessories to the Culbreath lyching. He had warrants for two other parties, but could not find them. The sheriff was arrested to-day by Coroner Johnson under a warranlt charging him with offcial misconduct ill permitting and allowing prisoners to escape. The sheriff gave bond for hin appearance at Coulrt. Two prison ers, Collier. Hammond and R~euben Johnson, were granted permission last night to go to their respective homes under charge of a constable, the p)arty to return to-night. For this offence another warrant was issued against tile shriff, charging him with maliciously prmittinlg prisonlers to escape. He was again arrested and againl promptly gave bail. 0 The Salvation Army. The good people of the South will learn with regret and with feelinas of dread and disgust that the so-called "Salvation Army" are accumulating what they call a "Southlern fund," for the purpose of sending a detachment here for the purpose of making conl verts. They will come with all thleir silly parud'e, brass bands, banners, gaudy uniforms and pernicious prac tices, withl which they falsely affirm they are doing God service and promot ing the cause of Christianity. They have become a public nisanlce in all lands, have been pelted and abused by mobs and driven pell mell out of cities ad countries. Now tihey propose to invade Soth Carolina and other Southern States, to prove to us through ee and ear thlat thley are a despicable, unmitigated pulhic nuisance, and that the treatnment they ~lhave received by the populace in Europe and America is in many respects well deserved.

Grant, giving particulars of i conversation with Gen. Grant four cars ago at a dinner. Mr. Depew avs that after President Lincoln was diled and Vre-ident Johnson inaugu .ated, the latter wanted to reject the :erms given by Grant to the Confed "racy, and wanted all the officers who :iad left the regular army to take sides 6vith the Confederacy uninarily dealt vith by court-martial. Preident Johnson also wanted to take extreme neasures with all tlhe leaders of the ,onfederacy. Grant determined that :he terms of the agreement should be idhered to, and if there were to be tuv courts-martial, Gen. Grant would >e the first tried, as he intended to ;tand by the parole. Johnson after wards changed his views. Grant as :ribed Jolusons course to his hatred )f the slaveholders, and when the war tarted, believiiig itn the power of the rovernuient, he saw his opportunity to lefeat his enemies, confiscate their roperty, and humiliate their pride. Johnson's absorbin ambition had been :o be received by the slanc-holding )ligarchy as one of them, as lie had iot been able to breaL down the class )arrier. While Johnson was looking or means to break the agreement of grant, the leaders of the oligarchy :alled on him, and acknowledged that is President of the United States he ecame, regardless of birth, not only >ne of them, but their leader. After :his Johnson became as anxious to ave as lie had been to destroy. Presi ent Johnson even wanted Grant to ustain him in a scheme to allow all be States recently in rebellion their %ill quota of Senators and Representa ives, but Grant threatened to drive uch a Congress out of the Capitol at he point of the bayonet. Johnson ifterwards tried to get Grant to go on i mission to Mexico, to get hin out af the way, but Grant refused and the matter was dropped. The Ohio Election. COLImmUS, October 22.-The head juarters of both parties have practical v closed and the Democrats concede the Legislature to the Republicans by : majority of three on joint ballot. As the Democracy have control of the Senate the Republicans will be pre vented from passing any party meas ares or reorganization laws. . The :rimitial manipulation of the election returns in this city continues to be the bsorbing topic of conversation, but the excitement has abated since the final action of the Board of Canvassers has become known. An additional revard has been offered for the arrest and ettviction of the guilty parties.
