C., February 8.—It is really remarkable how much money may be realized from the culture o: tobacco under the best management. Your correspondent ha* ju*t had called to his atteniion an illustration ot tld* fact. Mr. W. C. Sprinkle, a citizen of Madison county, which adjoins Bun combe on the north, who live* wimin a few mile* of Marshall, the county *eat, bought in 1879 three hundred acres of land, on time, for f.'.OUO. Thi* land it ia said would not hi that time produce more than ten bushel* of grain to the acre. Tbe purchaser began the cultivation of tobacco on a small scale for the first two years, having only f 1,000 capital and raising also the supplies needed for his family. As rapidly as he could t hla monev out of tobacco he sowed old fields in grass, and they are now sufficiently fertile to produce ex cellent qualities of the weed. For flve rears his crop of tobacco has aver aged him ffi.OOO |ht annum clear of expenses, and he has recently been offered §10,000 for his farm. Tins not only shows that there is money lor the planter of tobacco, but also prove* that the weed, properly cultivated, does not exhaust the sot , a* many ene mies ot the product are in the habit of saying. The planter above spoken of has made one acre produce §. r >00 worth of tobacco, and on the old fields form erly abandoned and then by his effort* and methods reclaimed, he has pro duced the leaf that brought §38 per hundred pounds. In some section* near here the plan ters arc beginning to sow the seed tor the plants of the approaching season. Many, however, think it too early yet for this work. For a few days the weather has been too extremely cold and dry to allow i he handling and sale of tobacco. Large quantities are now stored here, put up in tierces and boxes, ready to bo placed pn the warehouse floor* as soon as the temperature and moisture of the atmosphere render the leaf pliable and soft, bringing it “into case” as tobacco men sav. baa bta eye on the Hewn e, If New Max- Leo be admitted as a State. —John H.

Charleston, 8. C., February 12.— “The enterprising burglar” has been getting in some daring and successful work in Charleston About 2 o’clock this morning the office of the Palmetto or Claussen Brewery was broken into, the door of the iron safe blown open with dydamite and §690 in cash and eight dollar*’ worth of postage stamp* stolen. There were several checks and drafts and other valuable papers iu the safe, but the cracksmen considerately left these mitonched. Tho robbers effected their entrance Into the office by breaking the transom over a door opening into the yard. Three holes were dulled in the door of the safe near the lock, into which was placed a charge of dynamite. A fuse was then inserted, which was evident ly filed by the cracksmen at a safe dis tance. The explosion was heard several blocks awav. The policeman on duty iu the market, one square distant, wa* startled bv the noise, but was evident- l\ too sleepy to investigate, inasmuch as the robbery was not discovered until the employes of the brewery came to work at the usual hour. There is no clue to the perpetrators of the crime, but it is supposed to have been the work of the same gang w'bo have been operating in Atlanta and Augusta recently. Ratal Blunder at n Eire. J. P. Mullaly’s livery and sale stables in St. Louis were burned at an early hour on Thursday morning. The tire originated in the hay loft from some unknown cause, and spread so rapidly that it was well under way before the tiro department arrived. The em ployes of the establishment who were on ihe scene at the time turned their attention to save the horses, sixty-five iu number, and had taken seven of them trom the buruiug building, when two policemen arrived, and thinking that the employ* were thieves, club bed them into insensibility, and thus destroyed the only chance of saving the stock. Tbe remaining Ifty-eigbl were burned to death. ADVICE TO MOTHfiKS. J»a*. Wimp Lew’s HooraiNu Srser should »1- tt*> , a* uspJ lor etuMi-ei. iceiUiug.

He grew wer*e every day, and bad not left his bud for the last six months. We bad seen him several time* in our little town, though it has been more than fifteen months since we last saw him, and we suppose this was the last time he was able to come to town, ns he lives about eight miles in tlie country.
