The place aud time for the determination of the results of the contests in this way will be fixed hereafter.!’ As this condition has been found to be impracticable it is hereby withdrawn. The contest for each prize will be decided by the re sults as reported by the contestants nnder the remaining conditions specified. They are ae follows in full: "One prize of $50 will be given to the person who makes the most profitable crop of tobacco on one acre. The farmer will win this prize who clears the most money from an acre, and makes a sworn written statement of the cost and returns of his crop, giving full details of all expenditures, methods of cultivation, curing, etc., for lublicatiou, so as to enable all other farmers to profit by his experience. The prize will go to the contestant who makes the mosc money from the product of his acre, and tells how he made it. "A second prize of $50 will be liven for the most profitable nbacco crop of one acre, grown by any person who has not heretofore grown tofcweeo for market or in any considerable quantity. The pur pose of this prize is to induce farmers who have not tried this year, and experienced growers are, therefore, excluded from the competition. TV ‘ dition will not be any farmer who or before, a few for hie own use. It and fair for the p contest, we think, to mruit!.- -v , more than 100 tobacco. The ENGLAND’S BACKDOWN.

Those of the Florentines who took iu Riugling Brothers Circus in Columbia yesterday were delighted with the performance. The best feature of the show was the per formance of the Nelson family, the champion acrobats of the world. Delgar Reel Squad has, as yet, taken nc Action on the challenge of the Florence Reel Team, but it is probable that it will be ignored entirely. Delgar Squad will, how' ever, always be represented in all contests held in this State, and Florence will be afforded an op portunity of 'making good some of the big talk now being indulged in —Watchman and Southron, Sumter. The Tobacco Contest. announcing last spring our fer of two prizes of $50 each for the competition of tobacco grow ers in South Carolina of the con- ditious of the contest was stated as follows: "Iu order to insure fair judgment and so avoid all occasion for dispute or dissatisfaction, the contestants for these two prizes will be required to ship the whole ■x awarded, under these to the grower who clears money from one acre of and reports in writing the cost and methods of its production.” The measurement and yield of the acre in each case, and the price received, must be duly cer tified by three witnesses, and all the other details must be sworn to by the contestant. No report will be considered that does not comply with these requirements. Notice of intention to enter the contest, it will be remembered, was not required this year. It is open to all persons in South Carolina who are annual subscribers to the Weekly News and Courier. Any such person can compete for the prizes who complies with the con ditions. A11 reports should be forwarded to this office by December 15, so aa to permit of possibly necessary correction in any case. Actual sale of the whole product of each prize acre will be required to determine its value. The an nouncement of the awards will be made on January 1,1897. Several additiorft! prizes, it should be remembered, have been offered this year for the competition of tobac oo growers. Mr. C. S. McCullough, general manager of the company, offers $25, or one ton of tobacco fertilizer "for the best one thousand pounds of tobacco made with the Darling ton Phosphate Company’s fertil izers, and sold in the Darlington market.” The tobacco of course, may be grown anywhere in the State. Messrs. J. Ryttenberg <fe Sons, of Sumter, sole agents for “Berk eley,” “Capital,” "National,” and "Gold Basis” fertilizers, cffers $25 "for the best 1,000 pounds of to bacco raised (anywhere in the State) from their fertilizers, and cold in the Sumter market.” The New Venezuelan Treaty Practically an Acknowledge ment of the Bights of the Unittod States to En force the Monroe Doctrine. Loudon, Nov. 11.—The West minster Gazette this afternoon, re ferring to the pratioal settlement of Venezuelan questions by sub mitting it to a court of arbitration, says: "The locus standi of the United States, which the Marquis of Sal isbury at first denied, is now un disputed and is accepted even to the length of ruling out Venezue la. We would much rather settle with the United States, but we naturally look to the United States to go bail for Venezuela in return. To this assertion of the Monroe Doctrine, the most satis factory point of all is appended— a general arbitration agreement.” The St. James Gazette asks whether the agreement will not throw into arbitration "all the iparsely settled region between the Sohomburgk line and the settled of Guiana, which Lord d the Marquis of Sal- they would neyer tion and where- t Cleveland and they should, or the United States would them.” It adds: “If Great Britain does not submit this issue to arbitration it will be dif ficult to disprove the American that the agreement is a Britain. ment iucludes a general treiflV of arbitration is an indisputabla-ihn- efit, and the decision of the committee not to report relieves Tk« Oplatona «ds<‘« Brmwl«v ami a* ta Upheld.

Hanna was busy to day at Republican national head quarters winding up the business details of the campaign. He leaves to-morrow night for Cleve land, where President-elect Mc Kinley will be his guest for a week. It is expected that the per sonnel of the new Cabinet will be pretty well decided before the President-elect’s visit comes to an end. Mr. Hanna when asked to-day if he was going to make any addi tional statement regarding the po litical situation before he left New York replied: "The time ii past for statements.” A luncheon was given this after noon by Mr. Isaac H. Seligman iu honor of Mr. Hanna. There were 30 to 40 guests at the table. The luncheon was informal aud there were several short speeches. Mr. Seligman emphasized the importance of joint action in the future by the Republicans am National Democrats in settling the currency question. Mr. Hanna spoka at some length, and said that the Administration recently chosen would go into office with out pledges of any kind and wholly uncommitted as regards the forma tion of a Cabinet, was greeted with applause. Mr. Hanna also spoke on the general character of the work done by •both political umm [ BK that fundamental principles of the na tional honor of Spain that there shall be no surrender to any re bellion in her colonies, and while she has lost those in America, the loss has been made by purchase or by other methods by which her uatioual honor has not been jeop ardized. Of course, iu case of war with Spain the United States would demand an indemnity; that indemnity would be Cuba. And so you see Spain would not surrender Cuba to the insurgents, >ut to the United States. I can say this, that as our political campaign has been settled there will be revival iu the interest of Americaus in Cuban affairs.” FOR TRAVELLERS.

BRADLEY T. JOHNSON ON CUBA. He Believe* that McKinley Will Help to (live the Southern State* More Y'ote*. Baltimore, Nov. 11.—Gen. Brad ley T. Johnson, who recently re turned from Cuba, says that he believes the insurgents will event ually win, possibly within eight months, notwithstanding the enor mous forces arrayed against them. "But there is another feature,” he continued, "about the conteet worthy of rote. If the incumbent administration does not take some action looking to a recognition of the independence of Cuba, it is my opinion that President-elect Mc Kinley will take that step im mediately upon his inauguration as president* "What would be the effect of such a step?” "A declaration of war by Spain against the United States. It is true that such a war would be short lived, resulting disastrously to Spain, but it would afford Spain an opportunity, while losing Cuba, to uphold her national honor. She would be in a position to say that the was not overcome by the insurgents, but by a superior power the United States. It is one of the VLeave Richmond on No. 28 at lU>5a • . . , uMI.
