F.iut"r: -T have just inter-' viewed Mr. (1. W. l'oythress, one of the bv-t tobacco growers ir. North Carolina. I knpw that Mr. INivthress wit growing tobacco on the farm of Mr. W. F. Stroll 1, member of the 1 ue State Convention, ami by the. wav, a very clover gentleman anil wishing toknow t he ditb-reuce in gr w . ing cotton and tobacco, I interviewed ' him. Vfo informed mo that the dif ference iu tiie two crop was more, than tw to tine iu favor of tobacco, while the labor iu growing was less than half in fivor of tobacco, ami, that Iho raont of I ho work could be done and not interfere with the other crops. On four acres of laud, he raiictl H.OPO pounds of tolw;fo, which sohl Durham at the ftillowing prnv. . 231 lbs. nt 2 -bllarg per 100, tl74 lbs. lit 27 dollars per 100, . 210 lbs. at 25 dollars per 100, and the remainder 20G2 pounds at 13 dollar per hundred. These' amounts faotud up. make over $500, an nxerngo of ovi r $125 per acre. Mr. I'oythresa siys, that owing to the wet weather, he lost near one-' t'f'h of the crop on the hill. Th'a crop of tobacco, it is suit?, was the tinst ever Bold in Durham. A large manufacturer from liichnuind, Va., remarked that it. was the best lot of, tobacco that he had seen in live years, in Virginia or North Carolina. Tlnee cheers for old Chatham 1 Tlios" who wish to know all about growing tobacco, call on (1. W. l'oy-thres-; yon will find him an inlel!i-; gent gentleman, ready and willing to ' communicate.
