Tobacco Growing. [Southern Tobacco Journal.] [The essay below was read before the Darlington, S. <J., Tobacco Growers’ Association, and is both valuable and time ly. Mr. D. M. Smoot is one of the most successful tobacco planters in his State; this year ne witl set out one hundred acres in the golden weed.] It is not safe to risk less than fifty square yards to every acre that is to be planted. If you have not that amount already planted, burn and plant more beds. The most important thing to do at this time is to be certain to have enough plants when set ting time comes to set your crop as early and in as short a time as possible. In three out of four years early set tobacco will ma ture, ripen and make a finer quality than late planting. It is better to have twice as many plants as you need than to have half enough. If enough ground has not been planted, prepare and plant more land. The beds should be covered during the month of February. You will find it very convenient in covering beds to place around boards on the outer edges. Then stretch small, galvanized wire across the beds, about five or six feet each way, for the cover to rest upon. By doing this you can take off and put on your cov er with much more ease, and also save the wear and tear of your cover caused by rubbing over sticks or slats. If you should have snow or sleet, by unfastening one end of your wire you thus save your cover. I again urge you to plant, if you have enough already planted, a small bed in the latter part of February This will give you thrifty plants, to replant late in the season where the stand has been broken by cut worms. Select bright gray, sandy land with good natural drainage. In my opinion I would prefer land in a fair state of cultivation to pdor, worn out land. If in your plat of land there is a portion of dark stiff land, plant it in some thing else. The land should be thoroughly broken; if not al ready, do it at once, and again, later on, rebroken. This fre quent breaking puts the soil in good condition, and the freezes will lessen the damage from cut worms. Lay off your rows three feet and a half and put your plants two and one-half feet in the drill. If the land is thin, three feet in the drill would be best. Use as much as three loads of stable manure per acre. The manure should be thrown into a heap and wet thoroughly, and allowed to stand eight or ten days. Rebulk in this way two or three times; the more the better. By treating it this way, you will pulverize the manure ana will be able to spread it over your land smoothly ani also destroy the germs of all in sects. Great care should be taken toavoid leaving too much; itwill make spots of rough, coarse and worthless tobacco. Use in addition to the stable manure, from five to seven hundred pounds of some good, standard tobacco fertilizers. The tobacco plant requires a manure that is very quick act ing, that will push the plant to maturity early. The longer to bacco is growing on the hill the more apt it is to be rough, coarse and hard to cure. In building barns where poles are convenient pole barns are much cheaper and equally as good if not better than frame barns, I would say build your barns sixteen feet high in the body. Place your rear poles jfSa. \wenty-twain tajanty four inches apart. In covering 'use ordinary two and a half or three feet boards. The object should be to cover your barns so as to prevent leaking, and leave as much ventilation as possible in the top. Barns built this way will need no ventilator at the top. The great advantage in building small barns is that they are eas ier heated and controlled and less labor will be required to fill the barns. Later on we will discuss other important facts that will come up as the crop advances. D. M. Smoot. Good Reading for Farmers, [“Red Rose’’in the Yorkville Yeoman] It apppears to us that the county newspapers are some what at fault in not publishing for the benefit of the farmers what has been taken from the experience of tobacco raisers, and written on the subject. Mr. Norment, of Darlington, at the instance of the Charleston Xews and Courier, has written and published in News and Courier a long and exhaustive article on the subject, and we are sorry to note, not for Mr. Norment, but for the toiling masses, who have not had the opportunity of reading on tfc is tobacco question, that very few of the county newspapers in this State have gone to the trouble of republish ing this very valuable article. And doubtless Mr Norment spent would seem to your humble cor respondent that the information on this line, pointing out a re munerative industry in which to embark the farmer at this dis tressing and gloomy period, should be eagerly published by every rural paper in the land. The Coast Line Buys the C. 8. & N. [News and Courier.l To day is the time appointed by the United States Court for the sale of the Charleston, Sum ter and Northern Railroad. The sale will probably be merely a routine affair, as there does not seem to be any probability of there being more than one bid der for the property. The Charleston, Sumter and Northern Road went into the hands of a receiver some years ago, and it is most probable that it would have remained in that condition for some time to come, except that the Atlantic Coast Line system determined to pur chase the property some few months ago. The Coast Line quietly went to work and got control of a large quantity of the securities of the company, and then President Elliott, of the Wilmington and Weldon division of the Coast Line, went before the United States Court and asked to have the property sold. After due process of law this request was granted, and and the 15th. of February was set aside as the date of the sale. There has been a good deal of talk regarding what use the Atlantic Coast Line would make of this property after it chang ed hands. One of the leading officials of that system has stat ed that the road will be used merely as a feeder to the Coast Line, and that there is no in tention on the part of the pur chasers to convert the Charles ton, Sumter and Northern into a port of a shorter route to the South and South-west, which would side track Charleston from the main line of the sys tem. There are, however, many people who fear that this may yet come to pass. Time only will show what is to be the out come of the purchase. The only facts which seem to be definite ly known just now are that the Charleston, Sumter and North ern Road will be sold to-day and that it will be bought by the Atlantic Coast Line system. According to the requirements of law and the terms of the or der issued by the Court the sale will take place in Sumter, where the general offices of the com pany are located. first had charge of it and did what he could to make money out of it for the security holders, but it has always been evident that the road could not accom plish much so long as it remain ed from under the control of one of the larger systems. No one doubts that the sale which took place yesterday is a good enough change for the Charleston, Sumter and North ern, but everyone would like to know just what is going to be done with the property by the Coast Line. It is, of course, na turally a feeder to the Coast Line, but it is scarcely to be supposed that the Coast Line is not going to seek to develop fhe property. Just what line this development is going to be made along is what the public generally, and the Charleston public in particular, is interest ed in knowing.

WARD & MICHIE. 8umter, February, 15.—The sale of the Charleston, Sumter and Northern Railroad at the depot in this city at noon today attracted an immense crowd of people, among whom were not a few ladies. Promptly at the appointed hour, Special Master Jas. E. Ha- good, of Charleston, and Col J. E. Jervey, auctioneer, of Sum ter, mounted a box and after the notice of sale had been read by the Master, the auctioneer called for bids. Col. W. G. Elliott, represent ing the Atlantic Coast Line, bid $450,000 and this was the only bid. It was expected that the Coast Line would buy the road and no one was disappointed. Before bids were called for, Mr. Hurst, Clerk and Treasurer of the city gave notice that as the corporation had failed to ful fil its part of the contract, the landon which the buildings were situated did not belong to the Charleston, Sumter and North ern Railroad. The Coast Line authorities will no doubt arrange this matter satisf^cbertty. Spe cial Ma^tejv HSgood performed tb® (Julies of his office accepta bly, and Mr. Jcrvy, the auction eer, was in his element. Solic itor Barron, of Columbia was present at the sale. He—“There is only a half hour until train time and your trunk isn’t half packed.” She —“Don’t worry, dear; I have my bonnet on.”—Chicago Inter Ocean. As was stated in the News and Courier yesterday morning the Charleston, Sumter and Northern Road was sold at Sum ter yesterday, and the Atlantic Coast Line was the purchaser. The road was bid off to Col. W. G. Elliott, president of the Wil mington and Weldon Road, for $450,000, and there can be no doubt in anybody’s mind that this means that the Atlan tic Coast Line is now the owner of the property. These facts were obtained in response to a private telegram sent to Sumter from Charleston yesterday. So far as could be learned no other bid was made for the prop erty, and it was simply knock ed down to the Coast Line. That system will probably take pos session of its newly acquired property at once and the public will watch with interest any change that may be made in the management of the road in the future. There can be very little doubt in anyone’s mind that the Charleston, Sumter and Northern Road can be operated to its own best advantage under the management of the Coast Line. As an individual line it had little chance t o succeed.
