of the fragrant and exhilarating leaf
in this country will be practically
realized. It is by no means certain
that the differences between the
Gar and the monarch OF the Flow
cry Kingdom will stay settled even
if they shall be settled at all through
the diplomatic parleying now in pro-
gress at St. Petersburg, and a sum-
mary shutting down upon Chinese
commerce Isl among the possibilities
of the near future. When this cri-
sis comes Mr.. lie Due will be just
the man to meet it and TO turn it to
profitable account. His friend Jack
son, who bought Mrs. Scra ven's
Georgia plantation, where he has
ever SO many thousand tea plants
growing oatifty acres, with album
dant room tor more, will also come
to the front as an important person
age. Mr.. Jackson alleges that an ex-
tensive belt of territory in South
Carolina has just the soil and climate
that are adapted to the successful
cultivation OF this great commercial
staple. Mr.. lie Due declares that
tea can be produced in the South by
the aid of negro labor at a cost Of
from Is to 20 cents per pound, and
that the same quality OF Chinese tea
sells at wholesale at from so to 70
cents. In this difference OF from 80
to 80 cents on single pound of this
commodity there is large margin
OF profit. If Mr.. LIE DUO is not too
enthusiastic in the view he takes OF
the matter it would seem that tea
culture might be introduced i'll the
South on an extensive scale without
waiting for Russian blockade OF
the ports OF China. 1t would not be
well, however, tor everybody to
pitch into the business at once.
Those who remember the naorstS
neStlticaulis craze, which ruined SO
many people before it was done with,
will be cautious about mounting Mr..
LIE Dues hobby

AUGUST 25.

Give MS those statements in writing
and we will go on to the next station.
"Oh, we cannot give you written
agreement. You just tell them what
we say" And that is our success
with railroad companies.
Of course every body knows the l..
& N. railroad has the power to dictate
terms from here to Florida.
Notwithstanding, as yet, the trans
portation companies have not agreed
publicly to carry freight from LOUIS
Vile to Florida at or about the same
as rates from New York, it seems
very evident the matter is under
serious consideration. The Cincin-
uati Southern is waking them up and
the Louisville Board of Trade is
leaving no stones unturned to accom-
plish that end.
What we want is, in the spring of
the year round trip tickets from
Jacksonville, or better, all points
North at about half the present rates.
Instead of present rates OF freight
give US rates to all points on the St.
Johns river same as from New York.
In that case Louisville will sell Flor
and South Georgia millions of dol
lars worth of merchandise, while at
present rates almost none are sold.
Give lis a Green or Fast Freight line
that we may get goods from Louis
vile to Jacksonville in from fifty to
sixty hours, from the day of ship
ment. In that case Florida would
be buying in the Louisville market
from August to October car loads of
Irish potatoes and apples, that we
need so badly in those months, and
we would ship along the line our
lemons, lines, pine-apples. sweet
potatoes, etc, to say nothing OF the
pork, flour, grain and general mer-
chandise at all seasons OF the year.
We would love to see the same
enterprise and iberality by mana
gers of Southern railroads to the
South as shown by managers of
North and North western railroads.
Do this and you will settle up the
immense vacant but fertile lands of
Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and
Florida, and thereby in very short
time make Louisville the largest and
most prosperous city west OF New
York, Louisville is the natural point
of supply to at least all of the mid
dleAportion OF the South To become
mat pUinr, iJis only necessary TO
give us a fair rate OF freight and pas

Gum Disease.

Some cases OF gum exuding from
orange trees having been brought to
our notice. We give the following
receipt for its cure, taken from the
Riverside Press OF California
r. Ell. Gilman, of Anaheim, an Elk.
perienced nurseryman and orchard
list, writes in regard to the gum dis
ease in citrus trees. He says this
disease is usually caused by bruise
or puncture sometimes by dead
wood and sun burns. 1t is often
caused by puncture made by ants.
He thinks that ants do more damage
to the orange trees than the black
scale. The gum disease is usually
checked and cured by removing the
diseased bark with sharp knife, and
applying gum shellac or mud.
