Correspondence of Thb Obs erveb. - ' '
Salisbury's tobacpoj market, is al
reaay a thing ot substance, . ana is
fast growing more substantial Ab
he 6t& crop and the new lap in the.
breaks and the piles of this year's
growth and last lie ? side by side on
the warehouse floors, the promise of
a steady, sturdy, prosperous - market
is reme wed. tteiore the old crop has
been driven off the market, two more
great floors will be dedicated to the
sale of leaf in the old town. The ma
teriaVto.be used in the construction
of the new iron warehouse is arriv
ing and before, long Qld Ironsides"
will rear, her metalic wall oo the va
cant lot-above the market house.
Messrs. Hawkins & Son, the proprie
tors and managers of this house, are
old warehouse men, and are there-
fore, supposed to be distinctly aware
of what they are about in connecting
themselves with Salisbury and ; her
tobacco interest. s Just below the
"Old Ironsides," on the old Long
property, is the sue ot Messrs. Thom
ason & S wink's nev ' warehoused and
the contractor, is , making rapid pro
gress in ' its construction. As the
owners and controllers of a large es
tablishment for the sale of the leaf.
and as men to whom avery stage of
progress, from . plant bed to market,
is familiar, much is naturally to be
expected of these two gentlemen.
.Both ot these new houses are to
have more floor area . than - either 6f
our other estaolishments . in -the to
bacco .trade, . but as to which ; of all
is destined to control the largest pats
ronage remains to -be seen. The
Farmer's is a popular, warehouse
with a good lead in the race and her
motto is, 'get all you can and - keep
what you have got." : , ; -
. ' "That good old rule the simple plan,
That he may take who hath the power,
That he may keep who can . "
in void the leat business here was
in incipiencr and Salisbury, was
border market; the line of leaf cul
tivation being clearly defined on the
west and north of her. - On the eas
and south the weed was not grown at
all. Today she stands in the centre
of a tobacco growing region, where
as a market she is unrivaled and se
cure. In a scant two years she has
proselyted whole sections of "plant
growing territory irom.: other mar
kets, and has pioneered and fostered
the industry- into lower Kowan, Stan
ly and Cabarrus. If the market were
to calla halt in its progressive march
and stand steadily at its present posi
tion, we would still be in a position
to Offer to manufacturers and lea
dealers an assured - and ; unfailing
market ir all grades of leaf . : But the
momentum which the market has al
ready gathered is sumcient to send
it along with an irresistable impetus
and to halt would be impossible. In
irrefutable testimony whereof are the
great new warehouses and the new
manufacturing schemes. ' Salisbury's
position at the foot of the W ; JN. u
R. RJ, gives her direct through line
access to the mountain markets, with
their fine yellow JeaL many a pound
ot which has already found j its way
to her floors. . To manufacturers, her
f reightihg "facilities- afford direct
through line routes to North, South
East and West. t. isy casting around
among the manufacturers we find
prevailing, or rather universal, fell
ing of f satisfaction . ? and content
Messrs.- Gaskill & Holmes are ii a
position to split a $5 .000: trade on a
difference of a trade dollar, so even
ly has their demand kept pace with
their supply. Of this firm it is said;
and the . information comes straight
from the Collector's office, that it
has purchased more tobacco stamps
than any other in the District. Yet,
they are not satisfied, wanting the
earth, it would appear, for they have
already placed a contract which will
double their, manufacturing capacity;
The addition to their building will be
bhilt and put in readiness before next
season. Messrs. Robinson & Miller
chipped in a two hundred and fifty
box sale a few days ago; and smiled a
placid and serene smile over their di
minishing stock. J This firm have
already sold down theif manufactur
ed supply so well that they will not
have to send a man" on the road at
all, during the winter. Eugene Jobhi
son reports content down on Main
street. So that all around the year
that is drawing to a close, affairs have
prospered with leaf men and manu
facturers ' - - - ' - '
A talk with a number of gentlemen
connected with the leaf . interest in
this section j notably ?Mr. J ohn Shep
ard of the" Farmers warehouse, re
veals the fact that the crop that will
be marketed here is mora than a suc
cess. In weight, color and quality it
is excellent, having ripened - well -on

Progress of the Colored Man. i
New Orleans Times-Democrat. ' , .-.
; A striKing evidence of the progress
the colored people of Mississippi are
making under Democratic rule and
the prosperity they are - enjoying, is
shown in the fair to be given at Jack
son in October by the Colored State
Association. - This will be the first of
the kind ever held in the State, and
one of the first iu this portion of the
South. It is only possible under the
advanced condition of the colored
people in Mississippi in all lines -of
industry; and their improvement in
financial and intellectual standing.
It is announced that the several
hundred premiums to be paid are for
the colored people ; alone, . and the
classes of articles and manufactured
products ror wmcn1 tnese premiums
are allowed bear evidence to the f aet
that the negro is now engaged in
nearly every enterprise in Mississippi,
and is not only an f agriculturist, but
a : stock raiser, manufacturer,' etc.
The fair, therefore, will be a com
plete and thorough history of the in
dustrialjcondition of the colored peo
ple of Mississippi. - ,
: With this exception, it does -not
differ from: all other i; fairs, v There
are premiums offered for all kinds of
needlework and , embroidery, practi
cal as well as esthetic: for wax work,
hair, work and artificial flowers, for
penmanship.: drawing, painting, etc.
In the farm, dairy, and garden f.proV
ducts there are premiums , for jellies,
canned vegetables,'1 pickles, "- hams,
native wines and vegetables, agricul
tural products of all kinds, and spe-
cial premiums for cotton. . There are
others for ; agricultural implements,
for all lines ?of -manufactured goods.
cotton and woolen cloth, shoes, tin
ware, copperware, made, -of course,'
wholly by ;negro labor;; for horses,
cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, raised
by the colored people.' "
There are, besides these, some hun
dred' special premiums : offered by
prominent citizens of Mississippi,
Gov. ljowry, ex-Senator ; Bruce and
others who are desirous of encour
aging the colored, people of the State.
practical encouragement, of this
kind will do much .to' better and im
prove the condition of the negro in
the South. The late World's Induss
trial Exposition first called attention
to this matter, and aroused a very
healthy feeling of emulation in the
race. -The Mississippi GoloredJFir is
an outgrowth of it,' and will greatly
improve the colored representation
at the American Exposition. ' 1
Soil for Onions, '
Mucky land is reckoned the best for
onions. ; It is easily worked ' and
more easily kept clean t "than clay or
gravel soils, v But . the difficulty in
fitting muck for onions is making-a
firm bottom. with shallow : seed bed.
This is important, as the crop, will
run to scullions unless the bottom is
rather hard. For this reason : an ons
ion patch should not be deeply - plow
ed in the spring. r.T It is - better , to do
what plowing is needed in . the -fall,
and then cultivate, the surface to a
very shallow depth ; in. the, ' spring.
Mineral manures are coming into fas
vor with the onion growers. THey
contain no weed seeds and "do not
lighten up mucky land too much, as
t a free use of stable- manure will be
apt to do. Many, mucky soils rich in
everything else are often deficient in
mineral plant food, especially potash
and phosphates. - N , '
