How to Grow Tobacco.
Gradhg and Preparing Tobacco for
Marlctt
j Many planters make a mistake by
not properly grading their crop
Some entertain the idea that they can
pack away a lower grade with* a
I higher and make the whole lot seF?
fur the value of the latter, when the
result is generally the reverse, Dh*
honest packing has never paid ano
farmer and never trill. The planter
should remember that the buyer gen'
[ erally knows more about the quality
I of Tobacco than any one else and is
j more apt to detect any flaws or de
! fects in packing. You can ptft this
down as a rule that whenever you
pack a lower grade with a higher
you are certain lo get paid for the
lower grade, and all extra leaves put
in the lot in just so much waste
Honest packing always pays.
My old friend Maj. Ragland has
written so minutely and so fully on
this subject that I cannot do bet?
ter than give the reader his directions
They are comprehensive and need not
be supplemented with any explanatory
notes. Tiie Major says:
"If after the Tobacco is cured, the
weather remains dry and it fails to get
soft readily so that it can be moved, it
may be brought in order in the follow?
ing way : Place green bushes with
the leaves on over the floor and
sprinkle water over them copiously.
If the tobacco is dry and the atmos?
phere contains but little moisture, aod
if the weather is cool, a little 5re
kindled in the flues will assist in
making the tobacco soft. Straw, wet
or made so, will serve the same pur?
pose. If the weather is damp, there
will be so necessity to use either
straw, brushes or.water. But when
it is necessary to use any means to
order tobacco, it is best to apply them
in the afternoon, that the tobacco
may be removed the next morning.
If the weather continues warm and
damp or rainy, tobacco that remains
hanging will be apt to change color,
unless dried out by flues or charcoal.
When this becomes necessary, build
small fires at first, and raise the heat
grandually."
Tobacco should never be stripped
from the stalks except in pliable order *
and the leaves on every plant should
be carefully assorted and every grade
tied up separately Usually there
will be three grades of leaf, assort?
ed with reference to color and size,
and two of lugs Of leaf, tie six or
eight leaves iu a bundle, and of lugs
eight to ten. As fast as you strip,
either hang the "hands" on sticks,
twenty-five to each stick, and hang
up, or bulk down in two layers, the
heads of the hands or bundles facing
outward. The latter mode is best, if
you intend to sell in winter order,
loose on the warehouse floors. If
bulked down, watch frequently to see
that it does not heat. If the bulk be?
comes warm it must be broken up,air
ed and re-bulked, or hung up if too
soft. It is safer always to hang up as
soon as stripped, unless you desire to
sell soon, and strike down in "safe
keeping order" in spring or summer.
It is considered in "safe order"
when the leaf is pliable and thc stem (
will crack half way down the tie. i
If you sell loose, deliver in large i <
uniform piles; such will cost less and | ?
your tobacco bring more in price, j
But to sell iu a distant market, pack <
in tierces-half hogsheads make the ? i
best and cheapest-to weigh about
400 pounds net, taking care not to j
press the tobacco so as to bruise it, <
or pack it too closely together, jj
The beet leaf is wanted for wrapper ?j
and it must open easily when shaken j 1
in the hand. Back one grade only in h
each tierce, uniform iu color and j<
length ; but if it becomes necessary ; ?
to put more than one grade in a tierce, ii
place strips of paper or straw between :
to mark and separate them. Pack ?
honestly for honesty is always the- ?
best policy. The man who "Desls"*
his tobacco will certainly go on the
"Black List," and buyers have good :?
memories. j
If your tobacco is fine, sound, and ;
nicely handled, you will have the
satisfaction of getting, at the least, :
a remunerative price for it, although
poor and and nondescript stock may !
be selling for less than the cost ol |
production. The world outside o?;
this country makes, as as rule, ,low
grades plenty, and at a cost to raise .
much less than we can compass.
We must plant lees surface, fertilize
heavier, and cultivate and manage ;
better, if we would get the best prices. \

Murder Most Foul.
Mr. S?d Mrs. H. Tweitmao were
murdered at their homo in Liocoloville,
near Charleston, on Mooday, by un?
known parties. The murder wa? most
brutal, both of the victims having their
heads crushed. Robbery is supposed
to have been the motive of tho crime.
Oscar J on CP, a negro has been ar?
rested tor thc murder of II. W Twied
rr.au a?d wife, at Lincolnvillc, near
Charleston. Ile turns out to bc a noted
criminal. In October, 1891, he out?
raged his sister. Lucinda Sims, io Au?
gusta, Ga., and chopped her bead all to
pieces and then threw ber in the Savan?
nah river. He was tried for the
murder but got off on tbe insanity
dodge. Jones was then committed
to the lunatic asylum at Milledge
ville. Ga , but subscijucufly escaped.
Ur is suspected of having been j
implicated aibo in several other brutal
murders.
City Against Country.
One of the most siogular and unreas
mabie ideas imaginable is that business
nen in a city are inimical to the inter
;s?s of the farmer in the country. Poli
;ic:.ans we are willing to appeal to pre
udice rather than reason lay great stn s<
JU rbib anti-town sentiment, and yet
nothing is more unjust.
The idea that city merchants are con?
stantly conspiring against the welfare
)f tte farmer is too absard for con?
templation by any but the ignorant or
:he very biased. It will not be claimed
by us, or by ihe merchants themselves
?hat their first cancero is for the farm- ;
er?. Of course they are o-nly human,
iud they are looking out for their own
interests first, But it is eaualry true
that their ioterestsaod the farmers'
do- Dot conflict and they have much to |
expect from the prosperity of the far?
mer, and nothing from bis poverty,
?io merchant ever wau ts to see cotton
sell low. ile ?9 interested iu the farmer
getting a good price for his crop
Prosperity among farmers nieass pros?
perous trade amo?.g the mercbauls of
tbe town where they transact their
business, but hard times amoug the
farmers means hard times among the
merchante with whota they trade.
This is a matter so plain to the man
who thinks that it seems strange that .
farmers in the country will allow them- I
selves prejudiced against city merchants
whose interests are so identical with
their's. The farmer's faiiare means a !
dull season for the merchant, while the '
farmer's prosperity means the mereoant'iH 1
prosperity. No doubt some farmers
thought it harsh' treatment when the
merchants a year ago cut down so
?harply on the amoubt* advanced to i
them, sud iusisted upon a, redactiou in
the acreage of cotton, bu? the s< ctuei j
has shown the true wisdom and friend- j
?sip of their course. Th S farmers have ;
ouly to look into these things to &?e the ;
?justice of their prejudices, and if they ;
will follow the advice given them by j
their merchant frieuds in the city they i
will find it much more valuable than
that of politicians who try to convince |
them that city merchants arc their ene- j
mies. The merchants do not attempt
to advise them how to plant, but from ;
their dealings in the world of trade they j
have knowledge of the supply and de
maud, and they nre qualified to advise
farmers what to plant. And if the far-.
mer will follow the advice that is given
them on all sides to plant less cotton,
and raise at home their mules, ij. >??s. |
hay, com, potatoes, molasses, and otho'- j
necessaries that they can raise much .
cheaper iu the long run that they can
buy, and let cotton be their surplus
nosey crop, the farmers of Georgia aod
he South will be the the most inde
pei dent cass of people in tbe country;
and they will realise that their advisers
are much better friends than the poli
ricians who are new deceiving thea.

Hurrah For Hampton I
A Deserted Compliment to the Old
Chieftain.
[Special to the State}
WASHINGTON, March 7-Gen.
Wade Hampton has had, perhaps,
the highest compliment paid him by
the Senate that could have been paid,
and he will, without doubt, remain
in Washington four years as Railroad
Commissioner, I have the informa?
tion directly from one ot the leading
members of the Senate, who has
signed the pape;;. Gen. Hampton,
as he has said ail along, would not
seek an office, and until to-day knew
nothing of it. The leading Senators
got up a request in the Senate
chamber to President Cleveland,
asking him to appoint Gen. Wade
Hampton Railroad Commissioner, it
has been signed, the Senator tells me,
by every member in the body with
the exception of, pei haps Irby. It
has been placed in Mr. Cleveland's
hands by the Senators. My infor?
mant adds : "President Cleveland has
said that lie would give Gen. Hamp?
ton anything that IW? wanted. Since
In.? would not make know.-) a pre?
ference his friends did it for him, and
the appointment will 6oon be an?
nounced."
Gen Hampton is still hero, and
will remain fur perhaps a- week

has been probated. ll?.s estate,

General gives the sword vrh?ch was
presented to him by some ladies ol

honor for his Services in capturing
Fort Sumter. To the State of ?ouisana

himself painted hy G'enin, the artist,
of Now Orleans, and by hil? present?
ed to Beauregard.
After disposing of hi? property,
the testator instructs, his executors
to have bis body cremated provided
however, that there be a'erornatory hi
successful operation in or near New
Orleans at the time of his death. The
General gave as a reason for want?
ing his" body cremated that He con?
sidered" cremation better for lli?
the sanitary condition of such a
climate as Louisana than the present
mod.; of burial. As there is no
crematory7 any whore near this request
was considered void.
