The South and Rates
During the last quarter of a century
the South has been the scene of great
activity in railroad building In 1880
that section had only 21176 miles of
railroad track while the balance of
country had 72091 miles Last year
the South had 66608 miles while the
balance of the country had 150733
In 26 years the South had gained 215
per cent while the balance of the
country gained only 109 per cent
The antirailroad agitation which
when taken up by the Federal GOY
crment became more active in nearly
all the States will check railroad
building in all sections This will be
more manifest in the South than in
most parts of the country because
the railroads there to a considerable
have discounted future requirements
in railroad construction and because
the agitation for cheaper passenger
fares is more nearly universal in the
South than elsewhere
To a great extent this is a play of
the politicians The masses of the
people are little benefited by cheaper
passenger fares Generally speaking
those who travel are able to pay for
it and the saving derived from legis
lation of this kind will benefit the
rich ten times as much as the poor
The benefits from freight reduction
would be diffused among all but this
would not furnish politicians with op
portunities for grands and plays
The poor man who would ride 100
miles a year on railroads can see that
a reduction from three to two and a
quarter cents per mile would save
him the magnificent sum of 75 cents
and he does not know that the aver
age family of five is paying 8100 a
year freight The bills are not pre
sented to him They are paid by the
merchant and with an additional
sum for profit arc charged up by him
on the goods ho scllsNew York

Tobacco in Leon County
Geological surveys of Loons soil
has developed the fact that a large
per cent of the area of the county Is
highly adapted to the cultivation of
tobacco consequently there has bo
gun a steady boom in real estate
Pioneer planters of the weed aro on
larging their acreage and amateurs
who planted only a small piece of
ground last year are making enthu
siastic arrangements to largely extern
their operations during the coming
season
The Leon County Tobacco Contra 1
has under cultivation eighty acres of
the finest lands in the county out on
Lake Jackson west of the city Mi
Julius Hirsehburg the experienced
and capable manager claims that this
year in spite of the early and long
continued drought the crop was the
best ever made being entirely satis
factory both in yield and quality
The company is arranging to put in
another thirty acres in the same sec
tion
It is rumored that a company com
posed of C B Gwynn Dr George H
Gwynn and F M Phillips is prepar
ing to plant twentyfive acres next
year and David S Vason will put in
six acres of the McMahon land D
ill Lowry also contemplates putting
some twentyfive or thirty acres mur
der cultivation
Mr Herbert A Williams of this
city together with several onresi
dent gentlemen is examining real es
tate adjacent to Tallahassee with a
view to purchasing and cultivating
good tobacco lands
Experts pronounce the tobacco
grown here fully equal to the best
that Gadsden county can offer and
