COTTON OR TORACCO.
Shall We Raise Cotton and l-ose Mon
ey, or Shall We Raise Tobacco
and Make Money?
Mr. Editor:—The bitter experience
of the past has taught most farmers
that but little hope lies in making cot
ton for money.
Those who have made this alluring
crop the present year have only a
memory of blasted hopes. But one in
a hundred have succeeded in making
money out of the present crop, and it
is doubtful if even the hundredth man
has succeeded.
The farmers have followed cotton
raising until bankruptcy stares them in
the face. The outlook for next jear
is more gloomy thar. for many years.
What can the farmer promise him
self who intends raising cotton next
year ?
The surplus now on hand forbids the
thinking man from attempting to raise
much of it. With present price at
seven cents and a surplus of millions of
bales now on hand, can he expect to
get more for next year’s crop than he
is getting for this one ? All agree that
the present crop has been produced in
the states east of the M’ssippi river at
a figure greater than the cotton is worth.
Let us ask ourselves the question, “can
the South compete with the West in
raising cotton ?” Every one farailar
with the natural advantages of the lat
ter would auswer the question in the
negative.
No; the South pays nearly as much
for fertilizers as it takes to produce the
Western crop. The natural fertility
of the West makes it entirely within
the bounds of possibility to produce
cotton at seven cents per pound and
make as much money out of it as the
South would make by producing it at
ten cents per pound.
Why tbis disparity iu the South’s
ability to produce cotton as cheaply as
the W T est? You have the fact in four
words—poor land and guano.
Hard times are pressing the South
ern cotton farmer; he must look to
something besides cotton for succor.
The day is past when they can make
money raising cotton. In the first place
he must raise his own supplies. Having
done this there is a golden avenue of
escape.
The writer hereof has recently vis
ited the celebrated tobacco farms of
Gadsden county, Florida. There lies
the lauds that produce the famous ( 'u
ban tobacco. It was his pleasure, as
well as his good fortune, to learn that,
notwithstanding, the people of Gads
den county had become almost bank
rupt by raising cotton, in their extrem
ity took to raising this tobacco, and
the results were so wonderfully remu
nerative that in a few years many of
them had lifted mortgages from their
farms, and the people generally have
become prosperous.
Naturally the lands of Gadsden couu
ty are no better than those of Heutv,
and, iudeed, they resemble the Henry
county lands in their general topogra
phy, yet it is no uncommon thiug for
farmers in that section to make from
two to three huudred dollars per acre
raising tobacco. The Sheriff of the
county, Mr. Thomas Mitchell, planted
ten acres and received therefor $2,125.
making smartly over 8200 per acre.
Maxwell, a young farmer with
whom I ialked, informed me he plant,
ed five acres in tobacco and sold his
crop for $l,lOO. A negro man was
pointed out to me on the streets of
Quincy who had raised five acres of to
bacco, from which he received SI,OOO
and had the money deposited iu the
bank.
“Do you see that young man riding
in that buggy ?” said a citizen of Quin
cy to me. “He planted three acres in
tobacco and sold it tor S9OO.
Three huudred dollars per acre !
These are only a few of the many
men who have made money out of their
tobacco crops.
There is no doubt about a thiug
being good when you see a yankee put
his money iuto it. These shrewd fel
lows have gone to Quincy and have
bought 15,000 acres of the best tobac
co lauds. This year they alone plant
ed 700 acres in the precious weed.
They have also built two cigar facto
ries, in which they employ something
oyer 400 hands.
There are a number of packing aud
curing houses that employ half a dozen
hundred operatives. They are making
money. Lands have gone up in many
instances a hundred per cent.
In a few brief remarks I have un
dertaken to show that the Floridans
have made money by raising tobacco
but they are not the only farmers who
have made money by cultivating it. It
has been shown time aud again that
the farmers to the north of us have
tfiSdC a hundred dollars out of tobacco
to wlierO we hare made bhe raising
cotton. Cotton fit-ids of Western North
Carolina of fifteen years ago is a thing
of the past; the farmers there (and
even smartly into South Carolina' have
taken to laising tobacco, fn many in
stances making even more per acre
than the Florida farmer. Iu tbis con
nection the editor of The Weekly
will publish, in the next issue of the pa
per, an article written by a North Car
olioiau showing the growth and pros
perity of tobacco raising in the States
of North and South Carolina, showing
that iu many instances the tobacco
grown in those high latitudes had made
upwards of a SI,OOO per acre growing
tobacco.
Then, if those people can make so
much money raising tobacco in the cot
ton belt, why can’t a Henry county far
mer do as well as they ?
Everyone knows that tobaoco raising
here is no experiment. It has been
raised here, off and on, for more than
seventy years; and the quantity and
quality being as good as any grown in
North Carolina, Virginia or Ken
tucky.
Let us see what it is possible to do
with an acre of tobacco iu Henry coun
ty. First we have the bright, ideal to
bacco lands that produces the finest to
bacco grown iu the world—a gray san
dy loam with a clay subsoil. This is
ours. Let us see what we can do with
it. Put one hundred bushels of stable
manure and coinpost on this acre and it
will produce 3,000 pounds of tobacco,
which at a miuimun price of ten cents
per pound is S3OO per acre. Deduct
s.">o for expenses and you have the
net sutn of $230 per acre. This may
appear extravagant, but it has been
done iu many instances this year in
North and South Carolina, and their
lands are no better adapted to tobacco
than your Henry county lands. Let
every farmer try an acre for the next
year, and more if he can.
It is estimated by tobacco growers
that it is necessary to have a tobacco
barn 32xG0 feet to every five acres of
tobacco. Great care must be taken in
curiug to crowd it. Each stalk when
hung in the barn should have seven or
eight inches square space.
In a subsequent issue I will give the
method of cultivation as giveu me by
Mr. Beu Smith, Quincy, Florida, who
has had charge of one of the Syndicate
farms near that town. C. M. Speer.

One of our neighbors, a young man,
while going home from a neighbor’s
house one night last week, and while
in a flat and dark place iu the road,
was confronted by a large burly negro,
who with an oath reached for the young
man’s collar, though he succeeded in
geting his knife and gave the negro a
gash across the shoulder. He had on
a very thick overcoat and don’t guess
he was hurt much but he cried oh! and
made off through the woods.

Prevention Is Better
Than cure, aud those who are subject
to rheumatism can prevent attacks by
keeping the blood pure and free from
the acid which causes the disease. For
this purpose Hood’s Sarsaparilla is used
by thousands with great success. It is
the best blood purifier.
Constipation is caused by loss of the
peristaltic action of the bowels. Hood's
Pill* restore this actiou and invigorate
the liver.
In Metrtohy of Miss Emma tie fry.
God needing another sweet voice to
help swell the anthem of his redeemed
above, ha* chosen that of .Miss Emma
M. Berry, daughter of Mr. Mrs. W. S.
Berry, of Henry county. Her pure
white soul winged its flight to that
beautiful morning laud “beyond the
river, where the surges cease to roll,’’
Oct. 18th, 1891, given back to her
God as pure and spotless as when lie
gave it.
Her death has brought sorrow and
gioom into one of the happiest of house
holds. She left a devoted father, moth
er, sisters and brothers, aud an uncle,
ou whom “he relied as much for paren
tal love and protection as ou her own
father, together with a host of friends
to mourn her untimely departure.
With her bright winning smile aud
kind word for all, she had unlocked the
portals of many hearts aud hag left an
aching void that can only be filled when
they recieve her glad kiss of welcome
on a brighter shore.
For five loDg months she wrestled
with the golden (bread of life but at
last it slipptd from* her nerveless
grasp.
All was done (or her that could be
by phygiciaus, loving pareuts and sym
pathetic friends. Wheu she realized
that the end was near she called her
loved ones around her, aud after invok
ing a parting blessing she gave each a
keepsake, an earthly treasure of hers,
iu token of her love. *
She was cheerful uuto the last aud
always expressed herself as being ready
and only waiting ou God’s divine prov.
idence.
She joined the Methodist church iu
the fourteenth year of her age, and two
years later was happily converted.
She lived a consistent Christian life,
following out the sphere and orbit of
quiet usefulue-s in which God placed
her, she feared not death. We esteem
it a privilege to attest her many prom
ised virtues, her faithfulness, her effi
ciency, aud above all, her geuial, in
spiring nature. Her bright, joyous
heart imbibed sunshine from all around
her, which she freely, in turn, gave out
like a halo of love around her pathway.
She was such a happy Christian that
one involuutai ily loved a religion that
welled up like a never ceasing fountain,
awakening verdure and beauty on its
way.
Truly God chooses the brightest jew
els for his own.
Though the mother was able to close
the eyes of her beloved child aud smile
through her tears, saying “My Savior,
Ido this for thee,” her heart was
wrung with anguish even while grace
enabled her to triumph.
“It is the Lord and Judge of all
the earth will do right” Each drop
of grief will glitter a diamond in her
crown of bliss. Nature is tender and
God is merciful, and there comes to the
Christian family iu this the time of
their sorest affliction the comforting
hope of that Surum irland whither E n -
ma has gone.
“Tis » blessing to live, hut sgrenter to die,
And the best of the world is its path to the
sky.”

To Cet
** In one store where I went to buy Hood’s
Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy
their own instead of Hood's; he told me their’s
would last longer; that I might take it on ten
days’ trial; that if I did not like it I need not
pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail
on me to change. I told him I knew what
Hood's Sarsaparilla was. I had taken it, was
satisfied with it, and did not want any other.

When I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla
I was feeling real miserable, suffering
a great deal with dyspepsia, and so weak
that at times I could hardly stand. 1 looked,
and had for some time, like a person in con
sumption. Hood's Sarsaparilla did me so
much good that I wonder at myself sometimes,
and my friends frequently speak of it.” Mrs.
