planting friends, and wo are confident thj- state
as well as individuals will profit by their ad
vice. It is idniitted by all judges of the arti
cle, that the leaf of Georgia' Tobacco is not
inferior to that of Virginia and Maryland—the
great difilrence which appears on p;
in the market, proceeds from the inattention
of the Georgia Planter in the preparing And*
packing of hit crop, and from the total want oft
and competence in many of our In-,
specters*— When attention and fidelity is ob
served in these cases, the Georgia Planter viill
not be obliged to sell at ten dollars, that for'
which the.planter of Virginia can readily getj
tw.co’-3-flve dollars-
