popular as an early maturing variety.
A; art from the natural character
of the soil Itself, there is no more
Important matter for the
grower to consider than the manage
of bis fields. Indeed the char-
of the tobacco produced will de-
pend as much on how the fields have
been handled in rotation between th i
successive tobacco as upon the
fertilizer used on the cultivation
en directly to the tobacco crop itself.
Tobacco land should be so handled
as to keep in good life. A liberal j
supply of vegetable matter in an ad-
stage of decay is highly de-i
but it should be of the
not excessively rich in ammonia.
It is well known that the organic
matter of freshly cleared or broom-
sedge fields is of a kind well suited
to tobacco. It consists principally of
dead leaves, twigs, roots pine tags,
and roots. Such
table matter, while poor in ammonia,
by its ample volume makes the sol.
very mellow and friable and of good
water-holding capacity. There Is
probably no better humus crop for
rotation than herd's-grass or red top
Specking, or as It Is
generally called is the most common
disease injury to which tobacco In
the flue-cured is subject. It
Is believed to be a disease, dis-
by spores. The only
method of reducing the injury
to the crop caused by the disease Is
by using potash more liberally In the
fertilizer, which seems to Increase
the resistance of the plant to the dis-
ease.

A better showing has never been
made by the banks of Greenville than
is the case in the recent statements
which they have issued. All of the
banks together unite to make Green-
business rise into the millions.
The deposits in all of them have in-
creased very greatly during the past
few months, and the effect of the
high prices of tobacco and cotton is
being felt very materially.
Many of the deposit their
money with the banks as soon a.
they are paid by the warehouses, and
thus increase the holdings of the
banks as well as start an account
of their own.
The total resources of the banks
amount to almost two millions of
dollars, and the money In the
cf the hanks has earned a large per-
cent for the stockholders. All of them
are In fine shape, and they have
progress which cause every
person In Greenville to feel proud.
Tho condition of the banks of a
town may be said to be a pretty good
Indication of the class of people
in the town, and, if tills be the
case, the people of Greenville are
very progressive in every way. The
statements of the banks show that
they believe in depositing their
money in places of safe keeping
Deposits in the local hanks amount

dollars, and other proportions of the
business of the bank are the same.
