All the corkwood of commerce

cultivated forests, but also grow
wild on the mountains. The tree is

A Hi. Fish karorye

A most remarkable story Of trout
fishing comes from Cape Breton
Island. in the extreme northern part
,f Nova Scotia. The n%arrator.s
hero is himself, and he says that
one writer, being tired of~salt beef,
went ont to catch trout for his
table. In that locality the fish are
quite plentiful when the waters of
Lake Ainslee are sufficiently warm
to u them to seek a cooler
retreat, and on the day in question
the conditions must have been un-
usually favorable, for the isherman's
only trouble was in the exertlon OF
landing the numrous catches. SO
eager, indeed. were the fish that
they would often jump above the
water to gel the bait, and the sports
man concluded to facilitate matters
by dangling the hook about a foet
above the water and getting on hi
/ knees and giving the fish, as fast
: as they Jumped up, a dexterous boz
4 on the ears that sent them sprawl
ing on the ice. The plan worked
admirably, and the %narrator's hand
was kept so busy that he was final
ly forced by sheer fatigue to put ar
end to the novel pastime. Wha1
is called a conservative estimate
places the quantity Of fish securec
at over four barrels. Tie gentle
man was probably willing to return
10 salt beef before he exhausted tn
supply on hand. What a paradis'
70: anglers that particular stream
must be And what an inventiy,
genius that lone fisherman is!

What the New York Graphic Purposes
To Do for tho City.
The New York Daily Graphic proposes
at an early date to publish an illustrated
edition OF Memphis, Tenn, showing her
public buildings, business blocks and
manufacturing establishments also street
views and others OF interest, with n gen.
eral description Of her great commercial
trade, banking capital and her geograph-
ical situation as distributing point, rail-
roads and water transportation; also the
natural resources OF the State OF Ten.
nessee, with an object OF influencing East
ern capital and immigration Southwark.
The New York Graphic has a circulation
OF l2j,0O0 copies per day, reaching capital
isis in the East, as well rs In every State in
the Union. Under these auspices this
edition should certainly benefit the future
interests Of the city. The Graphic is now
owned and controlled by a Southern syndi-
cate, and much space will hereafter be de-
voted 10 the enterprise and industries OF
the South. The publication will certainly
prove OF great benefit TO Memphis, and
TnE ArPEAL hopes the Grdphic's repre-
sentatiyes may meet with every success.

CHARLESTON, S. G., Nov. 1.-THE
Ne,cs and Courier has published the opin-
ions OF the thirty county chairmen on the
situation. One of the leading democrats
in the State created a sensation by saving
"Ifor one am tired OF being used as cats
paw to rake the chestnuts out OF the fire
for Northern politicians OF New York of
the Hewitt, Hill and Grant stripe. For
twenty years or more these people have
been using us to serve their selfish ends.
The solid South has been used as a cats
paw by them, and the solid South
is solidi6ed fool ii it does not kick over
the traces. What would / do? Why, do
this: 81 would have convention OF the
Southern States; let the convention meet
and discuss the situation; let us say to the
National Republican COMMITTEES; We are
tired OF this thing and we want 10 break
through the traces. Give us your assur-
ancc that you will leave us alone to man
age our State affairs and that you will give
US decent Federal officials in the South
and we will break up the solid South; we
will cut loose from Tammany and the
County Democracy and Hill and all the
rest OF ii and vote for the best man for
President, whether he be Republican OF

contriving TO dominate over the whites,
and state that meeting is TO be held to
repudiate the charge. THE APPEAL has
had nothing 70 say of the Southern col
ored men in this connection, although it
has considered the probable attitude OF
the Northern Republican leaders upon the
Southern question. Messrs. Cassells and
Shaw should not lose the opportunity the
proposed meeting will afford to protest
against the in1ammatory utterances of the
Chicago Inter- Ocean.

THE New York, E,eaing Post shows from
the recent election returns that the free
wool plank in the Mills bill did not injure
the Democratic party, but rather helped it
in the wool-growing and wool manufacture
ing districts. For instance, in Texas, Ohio
and California, the three largest WOOL
growing States, the Democrats have made
great gains. In Ohio Blaine's plurality
four years ago was 1902. This year Mr..
Harrison's plurality is less than $4,000.
In California Blaine had 10, 1913 plurality,
but Harrison's plurality is so small that
at this moment the State is claimed
by both parties. In Rhode Island, the
most important center of the wool manu-
featuring industry, Blaine had $3.50 and
Harrison has 4,497. In the city Of
Providence Blaine had 1854 plurality;
Harrison has now only iSS. In Pawtucket
Blaine had 45l; Harrison has 2G6. In
A'Nh 'ieihbolic, Hho 'AtNiioiNtl. SHShHtu
in wool manufacturing, Blaine had 4,OG6
and Harrison has 2,7lS. In Manchester,
the largest manufacturing town, Blaine
had 5S7 plurality; Harrison now has 30l.
The city Of Philadelphia is probably the
largest wool manuiacturing center in the
whole country. Here Mr.. Blaine had
$4,000 plurality four years ago; now Mr..
Harrison has 1906. Norwich, Conn,
is another important wool manufacturing
point. In that city Blaine had 43l plural
ity, Harrison has ninety.nine. In Water
bury Cleveland had i0l in 1884; his plu-
rality is now increased TO 749. In Bridge
port his plurality Of $40 is increased to
G7S Throughout Connecticut, as gen.
eral rule" adds Tho Post "the Democrats
have gained in the manufacturing towns
and lost in the rural districts. They have
gained where there was opportunity for
discussion and the mingling together OF
people and comparison OF views"
