South Carolina tobacco, as a rule, has been w Wanted for high grade wrappers and lox smoking tobacco. These require the best grades naturally, and the caring also has h: a much to do with the high prices that ,.. Wn nald for South Carolina tobacco. i tw. minxt in two wars, by cat ting the leaves and curing on wires as tne leaves ripen, and also by cutting down the stalk, leaves and all. and curing differently somewhat from the wire or steel pw " has been the rule In Darlington and Florence counties to cure on the sticks and wires but this may perhaps be changed, as e large manufacturers are now urging that tobacco shall be stalk cured. This mode of cunnfc la deemed so much more desirable by the manufacturers that some of them have in structed their local buyers to adhere, as strictly as possible, to pun-basing staUed cured tobacco for them. The buyers of wrappers have been particularly instructed to purchase stalk-cured tobacco, and the manufacturers say that a test of this wdl clearly convince all of the superiority of ta:s to the wire-curwl tobacco, and they prophesy - the early abandonment of the curing ty U it Is desired to cure on the wires the leaves are taken from the plant as they riv, care being taken not to gamer gm u . - Thee am placed in baskets and conveyed to the curing barns and there strung on in wires four to six inches apart, on each point " according to size of 1-af. Extra care must again be taken to avoid bruising or owr wise damaginst the leaves. The rucks are then hung in the barns on tier poles, ni twelve Inches apart, beginning at the top of the torn and tilling it. When the barn is filied, which must l done on the day Use wood is consumed, close the ventilators, eta t a slow fire in the furnace and gradually rat e the pmtrature to !? or 95 ' Fah renheit. Hold the u mperalurat this heat for twelve hours, which wilt toughen the leaf then advance the heat 2 an hour un til one hundred is reached. Again holdthe temperature stationary for tw-lve hour?. then open veutuaiore mw . T . , v. K. B1P..t trill TELEGRAPHIC TICKS. The ..nut: f.i- ei-r h.-mrs when tne sweat be sufficiently dried off and the tobacco will I sufficiently colored to aaiu advance the heat Then advance the heat 2 per hour until 140 5 is reached in a sixteen-foot barn, and 150 is reached in a twenty-foot barn. Hold at this temperature until the leaf is killed or cure.!, which will usually be in about twelve hours. Close -ventilators now and advance at J to 5 per hour until 170 is reached, then hold the terr p rature unUlthe stemsorst&Us are cured, winch will be about in eighty hours from th time the barn was filled. Then open the doors and the ventilators and let the barn cool When the t-jbacco becomes soft enough to fold the leaf so as not to break the small Ubres in the leaf, then take the wires down, strip off the leavt? and carry them to the pack house and bulk it down, turning the tips of the leaves in and the butts out. tare mt hr taken not to have the tobacco ia too 'high "case" when it is taken down and bulked, and that causes it to redden and mold, which distracts materially from the value of the tobacco. The s.-.m;' pt.vess of curing can be succegs fuliv -foll.-iwed in .talk curing. A- stated .before, some of the large manufacturers prefer 'stalk eared tobacco, but there is eo reason whv careful attention should not pro duce -equally satisfa -Vjry results by cum g with the wire process. Careful reflection and talks with Darlington and Florence count v planters indicate decidedly that this is the ease. Whoa to'mcco is properly cure! it seems that it is evidently cured as well in - one of these ways as it is in the other, aad the highest prices have been paid for wire cured tobacco during the past two seasons. Walk curing can only be successfully done when all the leaves ripen at the same time, and this mav or may not be the case. For some reason, the large manufacturers, some itt.r..t..yMfea,WtBlk cured to be well for him to make the experiment for htrase!f and test the comparative alue of the two processes. L-t him remember, in either case, that he cannot be too careful when he commences curing his tobacco. .V'ter the to'oaeeo has been cured and pack ed awav or "liulkej down" in the pack barn -, it should retnV.n in this condition until it is decided to s.'U it. When the plaster decides to earrv hi tjtavo to the warehouse for sal he'shouid have everything carefully pre pared beforehaad. While the tobacco Is in the pa-.-k barn it should be carefully graded, and thus is not har.l to learn. This is done by carefully assorting the leaves of uniform sie. color and t"ture in separate pil -s. Then the leaves must be tied up ia "han l" of from six to twelve leaves ia ea."h ha:i '. Ia arraarin or assrtin; the; diff-reut grades it isituportavt that each grade be kept separate aad distinct. The different grades may be hung on the stick or may be bulked as the planner may prefer. It is not -a diffi cult process- to grade tobacco properly, as the leaves t-iii mtst resemble each other are not hard t get together. The colored hands take to to';ao.'o culture naturally, and seem to like it verv much. In several - instances among the janU-rs of Darlinsrton and Flor ence bounties colored raen do the gra'linsr entirely after having hal some experience in curing aad bulking the toba.vo. Toiaeeo is not soli as is any other agricul tural produt in South Carolina. After the farmer has graded it he carries it to the nearest and best wart-house. The proprietor meets him and his tobacco, alcng with any . other that mav ha ve been can iei to the vare hoase that day. is placed in piles tl ever the -floor, each pile belonging to a different own er, whose name is placed on it. When every thing is rcaiv the auctioneer commences work, the buyers gatnerarouna, ana tne uve- i liest kind of bidding is seen. The name of the ! highest bidder ami the number of pounds of j tobacco in each pile he buys is attached to a carl, and the sellers nfaya'vept or reject any bid that is male. Tlje auctioneer continues until every lot has twa sold, and after this has been done the buyers and sellers get to gviSserfor a settlement. ' It has ben thoroughly and practically demonstrated that tobavo culture ia South Carolina is a success. The planters of Dar linston and Florence counties have ertab Pshd this fact, and they have had difficul ties indoitu; so. At no " time has the work been easy, aad at many staffs it was meet Jisxanlnap. There is no doubt that great care must be taken in almost every detail of tobacco culture, but. on the other hand, there is no doubt but that great rewards are in store for those who make the effort. It is, beyond question.-the moneyed crop for South Carolina, and the fact that it requires great care and attention should only be an incentive to ambitions: planters. It well repays every effort bestowed upon it, and lor these verv reasons it can never be a common crop. Small crops of five a-res that were carefully attended to and properly cultivated -rhave in several eases yieldtsl much hand somer results than fifty acres planted in cot ton. Let what was said in the first one of these letters be repeated here, and this will explain, it is hopi. once more why it te best to W careful. "Sow common sense is worth just as much in tobacco culture as it is any where else. These letters, it is hoped, have shown why tobacco culture should be carefully doe, bat th'y ne! excite no fers with anv fanner who is willing to take pa-as with what he doe. Use the right seed, haa ' die carefully to keep th leaves from being bruised. kiU the insects to sav your tobacco. cure carefully and properly to get the mo:- ey lor your woik. and the entire secret ibe- j fore those who can aad will make the test j Charleston.

Loans Growing But Money Becoming The New York Financier says of the past week: A continuance of the boom in Wall street, which has surpassed the expectations of the most sanguine of bulls, has had some effect on the statement made by the Associated Banks o this city for the week ending May 11th. Loans show a healthy expansion of over 1 000 000. briotrtni? the total for two weeks above $8,000,000, with the chances decidedly in lavor of a still heavier increase before tl spring season ends. But while the volume of loans is growing, money is also becoming more plentiful, as the increase of tlO.8S4.706 in deposit and J3.S36.525 in the total reserve shows This fact should not be lost sight ot in the general satisfaction expressed over the reaction from the period of extreme dullness which has marked tbe past year. The demand mi money during the week just ended has been practically from the South, a number of tanks having made loans at rates believed to be riot far from 4 per cent. It would be idle to claim that the country has throwi. off entirely the effects of tbe panic, but the revival in business, judg ing from the reports made by the New York banks, has been more than satisfactory, and is cause for general congratulations. Not less than $30,000,000 in American securities have gone to Europe this spring, and the de cline in foreign exchange rates is the best proof that the tide has turned in our favor. The banks which advanced the $30,000,000 in gold to aid the syndicate in its purchase of the last bond loan had 40 oer cent of the to tal returned to them last week, although the transfer, involving at least $13,000,000, was ; not made in time to be reflected in the cur I rent bank statement. j TOUGH MAY WEATHER.

SECOND DAV. The seoond lay's proceedings of the South era Baptist Convention were begun with praver by Rev. Dr. Lofton. The report of the committee on tithing was real by Rjv. F. M.

These oft-repeated embarrassments were not caused for want of numbers nor for want of wealth. We have the numerical strength, the iatelligenee and the wealth. These oft-recurring embarrassments are evi dently the natural results of our defective A -1 . 'list "lo-ir eomaaittw believe that full relief need not be hoped for until our church mem bers individually and voluntarily adopted the scriptural systematic plan of paying to G od at least one-tenth of their income. Then we believe the means will be available 'ior ail the purposes of Christ's kingdom.' We are sons aad daughters of God, not slaves and serfs. What duty eaa be more plain, simple, just and practical than God's law of th? tenth? All can give a tenth, no matter how poor. Is not this law as important as it ever was? Consecrating wealth is concen trating power. If a tenth of the Jew's in come aad a seventh of his time was not too much to ask of him. is it too much to ask of the Christian? Is ours a lower standard than was the Jew's? Wiii the Christian excuse himself for what was robbery of God in a Jew? The tenth is sacredly God's before aught is claim ! for ourselves or for others. 'Your committee recommends the adopt ing of the tithing system, and that oar sever al Stat? Conventions, district associations, thewstors, charehes and missionary socie ties increase their efforts to educate our peo ple iu paying systematically to God not less thaa oce-tenth of their income.' The di 'iisioa of the report of the com mittee on tithiaa was opened by Bev. E. Y. MUlins. of Biitimore. He said that hard times did not cause depleted missionary treasuries: depleted missionary treasuries caused hard times. Rev. George A. Lofton, of Nashville, said that the adoption of the tithing system was the one great need of the Southern Baptist Conveation at the present juncture. He stated that the best way to make the system effective was for the preachers in the con stituency of the Convention to lead in the matter of tithings. Of many thousands of eaes he never knew one who made tithing the rule of Christian giving who was not abundantly blessed. The resolution was adopted; also one-offered by Rev. Purser, calling upon the preach ers to use their best efforts to sscare the aioption of the tithing system by the mem bers of their churches. The report o? the Sunday school board.was read by Rev. W. B. Crumpton, secretary of the A'aama State miseian board. The com mittee commended the policy and work of the Sunday school board. The report was alopted without discussion. R?v. J. L.

B- COTTOX THAT IS PLANTED, Government Report Makes a Change In the Market. The cotton report as consolidated by the statistician of the Department of Agriculture for the month of May relates to the progress of cotton planting and the contempleted acreages. The amount of proposed breadth planted prior to the first of May was 78.5 per cent, against 81.6 last year and 85.3 the vear before, which is ten points lower than the aerearre usually planted at that date. The returned estimates of the area of planted States are as follows : North Carolina 53; South Carolina. 75; Georgia. 79; Florida. 95; Alahaiaa, S7: Mississippi. 84: Louisiana. 86; Texa. 75; Arkansas, 79: Tennessee 79. The delay Is caused principally t-y a cold, back ward spring; while in some sections it was the result of dry weather. The indications at present point to about the usual acreages in the States of North Carolina, South Caro lina. Geonria. Alabama and Arkansas, and a redution in the States of Mississippi, Louis iana. Texas, aad Tennessee. couFia'soss or this teas s acasAoa with LAST.

The mar--1 immediately broke 3 points. It was argued that with 81.6 plaateo last year, a re cord treating crop was raed, and notwith standing the great amount of talk about an ub propitious secson the difference between this rear's and Uit year's planting is only 3 points.
