Fitzgeruldlte Abroad.
Well, as we said, Claremont is a beau¬
tiful village of about 600 inhabitants,
situated on the left bank of the James
river at the confluence of the upper
James and the Chickhominey. At this
place the river is seven miles wide. The
land at this point was owned by one of
Va.’s wealthiest sons before the war. It
is one of the three tracts comprising 12
thousand acres, is beautilully located
and of tolerably rich virgin soil. Mr,
Buck Allen owned about thirty thous¬
and acres, ten or eleven hundred ne->
groes at one time and was considered
the wealthiest farmer In Virginia, be¬
ing worth over a million dollars—quite
a princely sum for a man of the times.
A particular friend ot his told me that
his widow (for he has been dead about
twelve years) is now in Baltimore in a
small back room iB an almost desolated
part of the city, taking in plain sewing
to make a scanty living, and others are
occupying the lauds. The old man is
lying in the old family graveyard with
nothing to mark his grave, having died
in abject poverty, so you can see how it
is with those who once reveled in wealth
comes to a poor man's grave.
The principal industry here is fish¬
ing. There are hundreds of fish boats
at this point of the river, and there are
many thousand do'lars taken in ex¬
change for the finney tribe. I meas¬
ured two sturgeon that were 7 feet 8
inches In length, and weighed 175
pounds each. There are hundreds of
such caught every month. The stur¬
geon sells at very high price. This is
the season that farming is so much neg¬
lected in this part of country; fishing
pays much better. The merchants
complain of no markets and high
freight. Notwithstanding they are at
the door of the world’s markets, the
finest river privilege, they are behind
in everything. Here is the first place
we saw any interest taken in fruit;
a few having put out small orchards. I
believe it would be a good fruit country
if properly attended to. Here I saw the
largest cherry trees of all my travels,
some of them measuring nine feet in
circumference and fully seventy-five
feet high, and full of fruit this year. I
saw one oak that measured 21 feet and
"8 inches around the body, four feet
from the ground. The other industries
are peanut, cotton raisi ng and wood
chopping. There are thousands oi
c rds of wood shipped from this place
annually. They are developing to¬
bacco here, and at Rocky Mount, N. C.
This latter place is situated about 100
miles south of Clairmount, or Tar river,
with 25,000 inhabitants.' It has been
growing steadily the past four years on
account of the heavy tobacco trade here.
They have twelve large tobacco ware
houses, with a capacity of handling
over a million pounds of tobacco, which
they handled last year, at 6 cents per
pound for lugs to $2.50 for fine leaf
wrappers. And, by the way, why can’t
we here in Georgia, do the same? for I
believe that we have the finest tobacco
soil in the United States for the suc¬
cessful raising of tobacco. Now, sup¬
pose our farmers were to plant ten
thousand acres in tobacco in Irwin
county, what would it bring? One acre
would make, say 800 pounds, and that
is a low estimate—and that brought
10 cents per pound, would be $80. The
cost would not be over, say, $20 for
guano and labor; that would be $60
prophet. Now, what could the farmer
grow that will pay better or a bigger
profit? We will give a detailed state¬
ment about tobacco raising in the near
future for the benefit of those interested.
There are many things to be developed
in this new country if only we could
forsee the result and take hold in the
right manner. J. W. T.

“I feel it tny duiy to give you a truth¬

writes J. S. Collins, of Moore, S. C.

I tried all the best known remedies,
but none gave the least relief. When
this remedy came to hand, I gave it
as directed, and in two days the child
was completely cured.” Sold by J. II.
