THE PROBABLE DEUREASE.
Of the Tobacco Acreage of Eastern
North Carolina.
BY 0..L. JOYNER.
"
Since the first of last October many
speculations haye been rite as to what
the probable decrease in the tobacco
acreage in Pitt, Greene and Lenoir
counties would bé this year. During
the marketing of the crop in the fall
and winter months the low price at which
it sold, and the frequent expressions that
planters were heard to use in reference
to the coming crop ~wereT sufficient to
almost warrant the conclusion that a
disastrous reduction would be made in
the 97 tobacco crop. Conservative
farmers, men who are slow and guarded
in their decisions, openly avowel their
intention of cartailing their tobacco
acreage very considerably, with the ad-
ditiona! assertion that unless prices were
better for the next crop, that it would
be their last. i venture the assertion
that out of every hendred farmers who
grew tobacco last year 95 of them were
dissztistiei at the result of their prices,
and with such a condition of affairs it is
no wonder, that farmers were trequent in
their expressions of disconteut and un-
certain as to their future course with to-
bacco as their main dependence. Then
comes the marketing of the cotton crop
which if possible onthe whole sold
more disastrously low thau the tobacco
crop, and but for this 9ud the fact that
nearly every farmer nad gone to addi-
tional expense to prepare for tobacco ]
believe that Eastern North Caroli-
na including all the territory east of she
W. & W. Railroad would have been
decréased at least 354 per cent. But
when farmers realize that if they should
cut off their tobacco and throw the
acreage into cotton, it meant certain
destruction in the fall, for cotton at
four-or even five cents a pound means
simply two cents a pounds worse off
than no cotton at all, and that I believe
(though 1 am not up on cotton tacts) is
about the-basis on which the T97 cotton
crop is now being figured. Taus a more
and more frightful condition contronted
the farmers. ~True their tobacco crop
had in many instances tailed even to pay
expenses, but when they turned to cot-
ton that crop offered no consolation and
while prices of tobacco last year were
discouraging it was the first crop that
had net proved remunerative. and the
T96 crop was the poorest that had ever:
been grown in the eas; and hence the
question that presented itselt for discus-
sion was whether they should act upon
their first impulse and cut their tobacco
oft and put it into cotton or take the
more conservative course and cultivate
better. .\iver waiting util the crop is all
in the grouhd, and getting the most reli-
able information from all sections, I atm
led to the conclusion that the tobacco
acreage in the three counties above
named which embrace the greater part
0. the tobacco belt, will not be decreased
to exceed 16% per cent and probably
not over 124 -per cent.
If the farme? in the east make a
00d erop this year and prices are good
&
probably plant as much next year as
rormer'y. With the increased fertili«
zation of soil, and the determination of
farmers to make their tobacco better
the probability is there will be jast as
this year than last.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Our Regular Correspondent.)
Wasutncron, May, 21st, 1897.)
Whether this is a government by, of,
and for the people, or 4 gover Hine
by, of, and tor the sugar truet, is a
question that will soon be desermined.
Not satisfied with holding the people
of this country up t the exteat 0
eight or ten million dollars a year
throughTthe sugat schedule of the tari iff
pill, the trust is seeking tu prevent
either the administration or Congress
doing anything that vill help Cuba.
Although Mr. McKinley has been re"
ported to be opposed to the sugar
schedule ot the tariff bill, he is acting
with ~the trust to thrott le an expression
of the almost universal sentiment of
the country sn behalt of Cuba through
Congress, and by the aid of Czar Reed
he has so far succeeded. Representa-
tive Bailey and the other Democrats
and Porulisis in the; House made a
stout fight to pass a resolution declar-
ing in favor of the recognition of the
belligerency of the Cubans at the same
time the appropriation ot $50,000 to
feed starving citizens in Cuta was
nade, but tne most they could do was
to frighten the Republicans into recal-
iag all their absent members and to
~eompel many Republicans to vote
against their honest convictions in order
~to please Mr. McKinley and the sugar
trust. Republicans talk mysteriously
J about Mr. McKinley. having a robust
Cuban policy, but when pressed they ac

4s. In fuct,there is considerable gramb-
lingamony the prominentRepublicans be
cause Mr. McKinley bas not taken
them into his contidence as to bis in-
tention towards Cuba. The Senate
will probably act, anyway, but the
HouseTcan do nothing as long as it
wears the Reed muzzle.
Mr. ~I. E, Wardner, the well known
. Boston editor and publisher was in
Washington this week conferring with
prominent silver men in Congress. He
repurted the silver sentiment in New
Englanc to be greatly on the increase,
owing to the eyes of meschants and
manufacturers having been opened by
the continued full in prices, and said ;

The prinvipal thing for us to find out
is what influences were backT of the
adoption of that schedule by the finance
commi~tee. As far as speculation in
sugar stock by Senators 1s converned, I
know of no reason why a Senator has
not the same right to risk his money
provided he does not do it in secret
and advance information which is not
accessible to the public, and p -ovided it
is not at a time when his vote in the
Senate would influence the course of
the matket.� Mr. Tillman says he
will wait a reasonable time to allow
some older Senator to offer a resolution
providing for ao investigation betore
doing so himself, but shatthe investig @
tion wiil certainly be made, if percis-
tency on hispart wil get. a resolution

No greaver tarce was ever enacted in
Washington than the imprisonment of
Chapman, the sugar broker, waich was
begun this week. oHe is supposed to
be in prison as a punishment, but there
is mighty little punishmeut about it.
He has a cosil : fitted up bedrcom and
an office adjoining, his weals are pre -
pared at a swell hotel, and he has a
waitar from ihat hotel aetailed to
wait upon him. He receives callers
and entertains them all the time, and
cin do about anything he could do in
hotel except to leave the jail. This is
an injurious farce, too, because it in-
creases the belief, already too prevaleat
that there ia one justice for the wealtny
and quite anosher for the poor.

A Good Crop Anticipated.
The New Orleans Picayune regards
the worst of the flood in the Mississipp!
valley as over, and even takes a hope"
fal view of the outlook. It says: oAll
the crop indications are favorable, Ev-
en in ¢ae portions of the Mississippi val
ley which have been under water there
is now a prospect that the water will
recede rapidiy enough to permit of a
crop being planted. Elsewhere in the
valley cotton, though slightly late, is
deing well, with every indication of an
increased acreage. In the territory im.
mediately tributary to New Orleans the
crcps all promise very well and the
sugar cane crop never was better, as
there is not oniy a laTger acreage under
cultivation thaa last year, but the cane
is making excellant prog-ess. Rice 1s
also doing well, with alarger acreage
planted in the nyer s.ctio,, which al-
ways furnishes the most reliable crop.�
