TOBACCO FOR PINE LAND
Year after year hundreds of acres of
Georgia lands, exhausted of their turpen
tine, become unproductive and a source of
expense to the owners of them. The Sa
vannah Morning News asks "How can
they ix rendered profitable? An answer
10 the query may be had by looking to the
village of .Mullins', in Marion county,
South Carolina. Mullins is in what is
called the l'< e Dee section of the stab.
Ten or twelve years ago it knew nothing
of any staple product except turpentine,
and a little cotton. Five years ago the
■turpentine had all disappeared, because
th< pines had ail been worked up, and
there w. • nothing left but cotton. About
that tn i i . nterprising owner of some
of the old pirn land concluded that he
would see wba could be done with tobacco
on such land. Ills success was very fair.
Four y< ars ago sevi ral other land owners
mid farmers also planted small tobacco
crops, byway of experiment more tnan
any thing else. Arid a few weeks ago,
about the middle of September, consider
ably more than 1,000,000 pounds of tobacco
had been sold at Mullins at prices ranging
from to 25 cents a pound, bringing the
farmers of the neighborhood more than
$76,000 in cash for a crop of which they
knew practically nothing five years before.
Two large warehouses have been estab
lished in the little village, and the tobacco
crop of next year will probably be twice
<ix large as that of the current year. On
one acre of tobacco near Mullins a farmer,
iwho sold his crop at an average of a little
more than 8 cents a pound, made more
than he would have made on three bales
of cotton.
What has been accomplished in this lit
tle South Carolina village could probably
ibe duplicated, or bettered, in any section
In the turpentine belt of Georgia. It seems
to be accepted that about any fair pine
land can be made fair tobacco land; and
land that will not grow cotton or corn
profitably will produce a fine crop of to
bacco with proper care. It would certain
ly be worth the time of Georgia farmers
nnd pine land owners to look carefully
Into the matter of tobacco culture. There
Is a ready-made market for the product,
and hands who know all about tobacco
planting and curing can be hired for rea
sonable wages. No good reason appears,
therefore, why Georgia also should not be
come a tobacco producing state on a large
scale. Farmers in the turpentine belt
might begin on a small scale at first, and
Increase their acreage as they become
mon; familiar with the cultivation of the
weed. It seems to beat cotton as a money
crop.
AN GI >)- FI EN C H WAR—
-1: Leeds no eye of tho prophet to fore
catt U.e end o r a Franco Engine war, says
the Post, of Cincinnati. The British navy
is the most powerful navy in the world.
French fleets will be annihilated. Manilla
ami Santiago will be repeated. There is no
evidence (speaking, be it understood, of
men and not of martial utilities) that the
English "warrior of the main" has dete
riorated since the days of Trafalgar.
Neither in there any evidence that the
Gallic "recruit of Neptune" can fight any
better today than he did under Villeneuve,
t on October 21, 1805, when Nelson captured
nineteen out of thirty-four French men-of
war,
The oracles of old said that England
would ever 'be protected by her "Walls of
wood. A modification of the oracular ut
terance came, however—with that memora
ble encounter of the Monitor and Merrimac
in Hampton Roads. Now it is her “walls
of steel.”
While the French army is, numerically, •
vastly superior to the British force, there
Is very little chance that Jacques Bon
hommie will ever effect a landing on the
soil of Albion. Any attempt to do so will
culminate in a naval engagement, and the
“man behind the gun” will once more pass
Into history.
Apart from speculation as to probable
results, a war between those two great
peoples would be an unspeakable calamity.
It would be a reproach to modern civiliza
tion. It would be a lamentable and tragic
ending to that century whose dawn wlt
messtnl their deadly embrace. Verily, the
•lay of arbitration seems far off.
The wool growers of the West desire a
union with those of the South to secure a
higher tariff on all imported wools. Their
interests clash with those of the Eastern
manufacturers, who want cheap wools.
This is merely another instance of the fal
laciousness of the theory of protection.
ITotectlon of any one industry is generally
found to i be at the expense of others, and
of the general public ns well.
The report of the Wainwright board on
the soa fight at Santiago tells the exact
minute when each Spanish ship c;mie out
of the harbor of Santiago and charts the
precise course which each of the ships en
ftaged pursued. But many things indicate
that the cheers which permeated the
United States. July 4, as a result of the
victory, will in no way be affected by the
report.
‘You have not forgotten the cold mes

By Associated Pre®.
Chocago, Oct. 2ft.—Commissioner of
Pensions H. Clay Evans, who is in the
city stopping at the Great Northern Hotel,
slates that, up to September 30th, the war
wtth Spain had caused the loss of the
lives of 2,906 American soldiers. He fur
ther declared that the statist!® of his of
fice show that the per centage of deaths in
camps from disease .luring the last sum,
mer was much less than during the civil
war.
Commissioner Evans being asked for
further particulars, spoke as follow’s:
During the rebellion 40,000, men were
killed in battle and 360,000 perished in the
camps and prisons. From official figures
which I have recently completed, covering
a period from May 1 to September 30, 1
find that the total number of dc-aths as a
result of the war with Spain, was 2,906.
Df this number were officers. At San
tiago the lose of life was 22 officers and
222 men. This is an average of one officer
to every ten men. At Cardenas one •offi
cer was killed. Since the battles on Cuban
soil sixty-one men have died of wounds
received while in service.
The total number of American soldiers
that have died :n cartips from disease are
eighty officers and 2,520 privates, or an
aggregate of 2,600. This is remarkable in
view of the terrible climatic disadvantages
and it fully verifies the soldier’s adage that
disease kills more men than bullets. There
have been six hundred claims for pensions
filed to date as a result of the war.
In the Cuban campaign the loss of so
many officers is accounted for by the fact
that Spanish sharpshooters hid in tbe trees
and dense foliage, used smokeless powder
and picked off the officers with ease. Some
of the wounds reeMved by officers were re
markable. I recall one-case in particular,
that of Captain Knox, of the First Cav
alry. The captain was shot in the back,
ths ball penetrating his kidney, lung and
livlr and broke two of his ribs. He is
alive today and the president has promoted
him.”
Commissioner Evans says that the loss of
life resulting from the destruction of the
Maine in Havana harbor will be placed on
the same t’asis as mortality in battle. He
holds that the general law providing for
indemnity to sailors and soldiers in the
federal service will apply to the explosion
at Havana.
“Thus far only fifty-five claims have
been presented from relatives of the boys
who went down with the Maine,” said the
commissioner. Everyone of them will be
pushed through. It is no more than right
that the dependents of the men who went
to watery graves in Havana bay should be
provided for by the United States govern
ment.”

TOOK BREAKFAST AT PONCE.
How Five Ner.atmper Men Found
Something' to But.
There were five of us, all newspaper
men and all very dirty, very brown, very
disreputable looking anti more than very
hungry. Wo were p.vl.eJ into a carriage
drawn by a couple of Porto Rico frames
for horses and were cn route from Puerto
Ponce to tbe city itself, tbe hour 10 a. in.
and the date July 27, on which day the
principal city in the island fell into the
hands of the avuncular Samuel. There
was a good bit of excitement in the four
miles of drive over the well kqpt road
fringed with canefields, coeoanut palms,
sugar mills, blue and white houses and
nourishing shrubs. Native Potto Ricans
were either wild with delight at being rid
of the Spanish soldiers or simulated joy to
a marvel. They ran (not fast, as it wasn’t
necessary with that team) beside the car
riage, shouting “ Vivan Americanos!” and
now and again some particularly dirty
specimen would gain a perilous foothold on
the crazystep of th*' ra iushackle vehicle and
insist on shaking hands all around. Ho
would have kissed us, Spanish fashion, if
we had shown any willingv.-s that way.
Some of the women did, but that sarfbther
story.
We w'ero in search of breakfast. It is
not necessary fit grow prolix over what
that would mean to us. Sulliee it, wo
would rather have found a good meal than
a big nugget. Inquiry elicited the fact
that Ponce had two cases of note—that of
the Hotel Inglatcrru and that of the Hotel
Francois. The latter was the nearest and,
for that reason, chosen.
The city had been in the possession of
American troops less than half an hour,
so we were t he first of the army of occupa
tion to grace the quiet preempts of the
Uafe Francois. How cool it was, with its
fountains and marbles, how bright with
its ponciana tree hi bloom, its huge flow
ery shrubs and its bright plumage parra
keets, how comical its frescoes of Daphnes,
Chloes, Phyllises and Strephons, yet how
dainty withal, for the table r ipery was
sjMjtless, the glass, china and (alleged) sil
ver shining with cleanliness and the ca
rafes glistening with (ye gods, could it be
possible?) real ice!
Madam, the mistress, a veritable poly
glot, backed by three buxom maids jab
bered away at us as we throw aside re
volvers and fieldglasses and seated our
selves at a rourd table near the fountain,
in a Franco-Hispn.m Anglo dialect out of
which we gathered that if we would not
kill the women and burn the hotel the re
sources of tbe case were at our disposal.
We promised that death and destruction
should follow only in case the breakfast
did not appear speedily and bountifully.
It did. What a breakfast! Its memory
will abide While those five palates preserve
their functions and recollection holds its
seat. Cold bouillon, fresh fish, a Spanish
omelet (huge in proportions, exquisite in
accessories), fruit of the freshest and most
succulent, coffee* like amber and cigars
that had been made In Havana before the
declaration of war.
Instead of harming that hostess or any
of her household, after eating that break
fast we would have attacked with gusto
any one who failed to treat her as the
queen of providers and dispensers.
We called for the bill, and then came
chaos.
“What! You will pay?” almost scream
ed madam. As evidence of honestinten
tion each man produced his canvas sack |
and emptied its store of American half >
eagles and English sovereigns on the table
in frent of her.
* Henri, Henri!” yelled the excited wo
man. “Come here, my heart. Come :
quickly and behold these men, these an
gels. They will pay. They do not com
plain. They compliment me on my cook
ing. Sancta Maria, it is too much!” and
the good woman threw herself into the
arms of her fat and hitherto invisible hus
band as he appeared in the doorway, while
down her red cheeks streamed tears of
veritabledelight.

Explorations i>eing carried on by Pro
fessor Miller in eastern Ontario have
shown that the corundum belt is consid
erably wider and longer than appeared
from the explorations of last year. Two
areas have la-vn carefully examined this
year, a small one in the townships of Bury
and Methuan in the county of Peterboro,
and another extending from HalibUrton
across Hastings into the county of Ren
frew. Tiie government has decided to
bring tin* whole belt under the provisions
of the regulations adopted in July last for
the development of corundum lands, and
accordingly the mineral rights on consld
cra. le nddi: i jnal rrivts of land have been
withdrawn . in «;.»!< and placed under the
provisions of the.- e regulations.—Toronto

Jev.s In the Senate.
Senator Simon of Oregon will not be
the first Jew to hold a seat in the United
States senate, three others having preced
ed him. The first was David L. Yulee df
Florida, whose father’s name was Levy.
He was ele< ti <1 a representative in 1845 as
David L vy, but when his term expired he
had his name changed to David Levy Yu
lee The second Jewish senator was the
famous ,Im. th P. Benjamin of Louisiana,
and the third was Benjamin Franklin

n te Story Teller.
in eastern countries,
j r pi aC e of our story
writers, they have professional story
tellers. It is their art to interest their
listeners with tales of love, and marvelous
adventures, and hair-breadth escapes, and
magic cures. There’s a story of a wonder
ful medicine that has made thousands of
cures that seemed almost magical, which
every woman should read or hear. To
have heard it or to read ft, may save a wo
man her own life or that of her husband.
The medicine is the discovery of Dr.
R. V Pierce, an eminent and skillful spe
cialist, for thirty years chief consulting
physician to the great Invalids’ Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. It is
known as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery. It makes the appetite hearty, the
digestion perfect, the liver active, the
blood pure and rich, the nerves steady, the
brain clear and the body strong. It is the
great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It
cures 98 per cent, of all cases of consump
tion and diseases of the air-passages. It
cures nervous diseases and is the best med
icine for overworked men and women. A
■woman may save her husband’s life by
keeping a bottle in the house, and getting
him to resort to it when he feels out-of
sorts. All men are heedless about their
health. Medicines stores sell it. Doctor
Pierce’s reputation is world-wide, and his
fellow townsmen, of Buffalo, N. Y., think
so highly of him that they made him their
representative in Congress, but his great
love for his profession caused him to resign
that honorable position that he might de
vote the remainder of his life to the relief
and cure of the sick.
Another good thing to have in the house
is a vial of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets.
They cure biliousness mid constip&tioil

| Kentucky “Bnrfroo.*’
The origin of Kentucky burgoo in at
j last discovered, and the Blue Grass Stat*
; can no longer claim it as its own culinary
inspiration.
There is a Spanish dish called olla po
drida—“a little of everything”—which is
an absolute necessity of life to every Span
iard used to even comparative luxury of
diet. The method of preparing Kentucky
burgoo has been frequently described.
Any one who has read about it will in
stantly recognize the existence of the same
i culinary theory in the preparation of olla
i podrida. which is described as follows by
■ the cook who made it for Admiral Cer
vera at Annapolis:
“A half quart of chick peas previously
soaked in water for a few hours, a couple
of carrots, some chirizos (Spanish red
sausages), long pepper, a clove or two of
garlic, an onion, a bunch of parsley, a
( dozen heads es lettuce, a colewort or two,
| tomatoes, a slice of gourd and any other
; old vegetable. These to be cut up and put
into stock pot with a half dozen pounds
or so of brisket of beef, the knuckle end
of a leg of mutton, half a pound of
smoked streaky bacon, a few slices of ham
and lastly a fowl. These to be well cov
ered with water and the liquid carefully
skimmed, and. after it has boiled, allowed
to simmer for the’ short space of six
hours. ” —Cincinnati Enquirer.
Elections In Guatemala.
Elections in Guatemala are decided, it
appears, by majorities so large as to ren
der unnecessary any subsequent electoral
contest. In order to dispose of contests
more expeditiously there are now in Wash
ingion three committees on elections in
the house of representatives. Butonecom
mittee probably would suffice in Guate
mala. where, at the last election for presi
dent of the republic, the vote cast was in
the proportion of 700 for one candidate to
1 for the other. The term of the president
of Guatemala is nominally six years, and
he is not eligible for a second term, but
when Guatemala gets a good president it
is the custom to prolong his term, and a
term thus prolonged is indefinite and ends
usually when the president dies
