Mr. McIntosh Outdone.
[New* and Courier.]
We noted a few weeks ago
that the Atlanta Constitution
had offered a number of prizes
last year for the best one-acre
crop of corn, cotton, potatoes,
tobacco, etc, etc, and that the
first prize for tobacco had been
awarded to Mr. J. S. DeJarnette,
ot South Fork, Ark., who pro
duced “1,032 pounds of tobacco
at a cost of $43 00.”
Commenting on this notable
performance we ventured to
remark that as South Carolina
had beaten the world at raising
corn and hed won the Consti
tution’s priz^ for the best po-
tato c op by a yield of 529 bush
els on one ac e, and had made
the record of producing 1 99
pounds of p. rk daily on one ho 6
for three hi ndred days, we had
no doubt that it had also beoten
Mr. De Jarnette’s record of
1,032 pounds of tobacco per
acre, and added that we should
like to hear from Darlington
and Florence counties on this
point.
We heard from , Darlington
a few days later, when Mr. T.
W. McIntosh, of Hartsville, re
ported that he planted one acre
m tobacco last year, his first
venture with the crop, and
gathered 1.240 pounds of cured
tobacco, which cost $40 and
netted him when sold $115 35,
therebybeating Mr.DeJarnette’s
prize winning record by pro
ducing 208 pounds, or 25 ‘per
cent more tobacco for e.bout 8
per cent less money.
In closing his report Mr. Me
Intosh modestly added that “no
doubt” he had been beaten
someone,” and that he v,
be glad to know by whom c i
how much.
In commenting on his letter
we said that we did not share
Mr. McIntosh’s confident opin
ion that he had been beaten,
but that Florence and Sumter
counties were yet to be heard
irom, and there were some good
tobacco farmers in these coun
ties. We heard from Florence
yesterday, and Mr McIntosh
will be interested to learn that
he has been beaten in turn by
one of his near neighbors The
letter was very brief, but to
the point. It was as follows:
To the Editor of The News and
Courier: Mr. J D. McCall, of Fior
ence County, made 1,738 pounds of
tobacco per acre. Planted four acres.
Received $170 04 after paying expen
ses of selling. Cost of production
about $30 per acre- I think this will
beat Mr, McIntosh, and it is probably
the banner production of the State.
Smilie A. Grkgg.
We are inclined to agree with
Mr. Gregg that this is the “top
crop” of the weed for this State
—and therefore for all the States
—last year. All the tobacco
States were admitted to the
Constitution’s contest, and the
first prize in that contest was
won by an acre crop that was
little more than half of the pro-1
duct of one of Mr. McCall’s
acres, and he had four of them
So it is not -oo much to say that
Mr. McCall has beaten the re
cord of all the States if he has
beaten the record for South
Carolina. Whether he has beat
en the record for South Carolina,
in fact, we are not prepared to
say. We thought Mr. McIntosh
was safe in his showing of 208
ounds more than that made by
'r. De Jarnette. Mr. McCall,
however, has beaten Mr. Mcln-
tosn by nearly 500 pounds per
acre, on four acres, and we do
not know what is to come next.
South Carolina is a State of
large agricultural capabilities,
and it may very readily develop
that some other modest farmer
in the State has made 2,000
pounds to the acre. We have
yet to hear from SumU r.
And while we are waiting for
further reports we invite all our
cotton growing farmers, and all
young men who cannot i
anything to do, to con ten p e
the results obtained by boti »ir
McIntosh anu Mr. McCall from
one acre of South Carolina soil
by a few months of honest and
intelligent work One acre
planted in tobacco, it is seen,
can be made to pay more clear
profit than fifty acres planted
in six or seven cents cotton, and
a “position” in a ten acre field
growing such a crop for him is
a better paying position than
any idle young man in the State
is likely to find after very many
years of waiting. Plant some
tobacco.

Harrixon on Civil Service Reform.
In none of his papers upon
"This Country of ^urs” has ex
President Harrison delivered
himseif with such vehemence
and emphasis as he has in the
one in tne March Ladies’ Home
Journal, “The President’s
Duties.” Besides commending!
one of Mr. Cleveland’s acts, and
censuring ambassadors for
making political speeches, he
talks of Presidential appoint
ments in a most feeling and an
almost pathetic way. Upon the
latter rheme, in giving endorse
ment to Civil Service Reform,
he says: “In spite of all the dif
faculties that beset the question
of removals and appointments,
it must be conceded that much
progress in the direction of a
betterment of the service has
been made. The Civil Service
Rules have removed a large
number of minor officers in the
departments at Washington,
and in the postal and other ser
vices, from the scramble of
politics, and have given the
President, the Cabinet officers
and the Members of Congress
great relief; but it still remains
true that in the power of ap
pointment to office the President
finds the most exacting, unre
lenting and distracting of his
duties. In the nature of things
he begins to make enemies from
the start, and has no way to
escape—it is fate; and to a sen
sitive man involves much dis
tress of mind His only support
is in the good opinion of those
who chiefly care that the public
business shall be well done, and
are not disturbed oy the consid
eration whether this man or
bat man is doing it; but he
nears but verv little directly
from this class. No President
can conduct a successful ad
ministration without the sup
port ot Congress, and this mat
ter of appointments, do what
he will, often weakens that sup
port. It is ft r hi.n alwavs a
sort of compromise between his
ideal and the best attainable
thing ’’

Taxing The C. & D. Road.
[Cheraw Reporter.l
There is some talk of intro
ducing a bill in the Legislature
to amend the charter of the
Cheraw and Darlington R R
and thereby cause them to pay
State and County taxes. A
railroad which has no more
consideration for the traveling
public than to inflict upon them
a mixed freight and passenger
train certainly deserves no ex
emption from taxation. If the
people have to put up with
such a train they should speed
ily demand some return if it be
possible.
