PLANTING APPLE ORCHARDs.-We have
long been under the impression, brought to
it merely by observation, that as a rule the
trees in our apple orchards are planted too
distantly apart Many farmers look upon
the space usually occupied by orchards as
almost so much waste. They say, we get so
little fruit from the ground taken up by the
trees, and we cannot cultivate the orchards
as we shonld like, from injury to the roots,
&C., SO that we are forced, on the score OF
economy, to abandon apple raising. Now,
practically, an orchard should be an orchard
only Except for grass, it should be left un-
cultivated, alter the trees have reached, say
about four inches in diameter. We can see
no reason why good crop of grasses should
not be continuously produced for quarter
or a third of a century, without disturbance.
A top dressing of manure once in two or
three years, we know, has produced fine
Yields of grass annually of two crops. The
trees have little or no influence upon the
crop of grass; indeed if they possess any,
it is in affording a heavier swath under the
trees
Hence, instead of setting out young
orchards thirty and thirty five feet apart,
reduce the distance to about twenty feet, in
the quincunx form; and if at any time the
trees should threaten to become little
crowded, prevent 1t by addltlonal pruning.
This is our theory.
The leading purpose of an orchard should
be to obtain fruit; next, the crop that will
do the least damage to the trees. This is
grass. Grass, however, will not do any
damage to the apple trees, but the contrary
1t keeps the soil moist, and Of Il uniform
emperature-protecting the roots in summer
against heat and drought, and in winter
against the severe effect of alternate thawing
and freezing
1t should also be remembered, in setting
out young orchards, to get trees as low
branched as possible. They will generally
not grow SO high, while the low boughs
will protect the trunk against the intense
rays of the sun in the summer months,
which are frequently very injurious to the
health and productiveness of the trees.-Ed

ELECTION RETURNS.
The Great Tr,umpb in Wake

The Great Triumph in Wake.
The Republicans all over the State have
done well, but, when we consider the oppo
sition the Republicans of Wake had to meet
and overcome, we feel that they are entitled
to particular commendation. They had, first
to contend with all the heads of the Rebel
State governmental in Raleigh; secondly, with
the County government, headed by the Rebel
Sheriff and his Rebel deputies; thirdly
with the Rebel City government, headed by
the Rebel Mayor and his subordinates, for the
most part rank, impudent Rebels. 1t was so
ordered and permitted that loyal voters had to
pass through the hands of such men all over
the County, and every influence was brought
to bear against u.s. Some of the Registrars
and inspectors even turned against US and
did what they could, or dared to do under
the circumstances, to defeat the Republican
ticket. But we have beaten all these infiu-
ences, and saved the County by large ma
jority.
Wake is Republican By more than one thou
sand majority, and will remain so. The CEN
this in large degree, it is true, to the pat
riotic frmness of our colored friends, but
the material for making good Republicans
in the County is abundant among the white
voters, and we predict that we shall have
constant and valuable accessions to our ranks
from the white voters of the County.

be effected, and the day was not far distant
when the States of the South would have

no discrimination. He hoped the day was
not far distant when the hills and valleys OF
the South would be glorifed and blessed oy

ago, in a speech made on a similar OCCASION
he hoped he might live tosee the day that tue
sun would not shine on the footprints OF u

the soil of Virginia, and he thanked COO
that that hope had been realized. The WORK

SCHOOLS.

We hope that our County Court will not
adjourn without some action on the subject
of free schools. The need is urgent and the
power is in their hands. Hundreds of young
people. both white and colored, are growing
up in Ignorance. Any system of schools is
better than none at all. Laborers will be
much more easily hired on plantations the
coming year. if some provision is made for
their children's education.
If for AIRY reason final action cannot be
taken at this term, we trust that committee
of persons interested in education, inelu-
ding colored persons as we'll as white will
be invited to report tho ,tLtafis III" syse IL
