Transplanting Evergreen Shrubs.

From the American Agriculturist.
Many failures occur from lack of proper
treatment at transplanting. There is no more
beautiful shrub than native Laurel"
Improperly SO called, it is not a laureD,
kalmia latifolia, also called called Calico
Rush" 1t is very rarely seen in cultivation,
and there is a general belief that il cannot be
transplanted from the woods, but that il we
would have it in our grounds we must get
nursery-grown trees. We know Of a great adj
mirer of this shrub, who imported IL from an
English nursery, while il grew by thousands
within a few miles of his place. Yet this
shrub can be transplanted as readily as a will
low il one will. at transplanting it, cut il back
to remove every leaf. This appears like severe
treatment, but unless one VIII cut the beauti-
full shrub back TO a naked stem, be had better
leave it where Il grew, for il viii surely fail.
Treated thus, success is as certain as with any
other shrub. In due time the naked stem win
break" producing an abundance of new
shoots, and by autumn viii be supplied with
abundant foliage. Having done this, and
seen il done by others, il may be tried with
full confidence of success. We have no doubt
that other shrubs of this class, il on their re-
moval from the nursery they were treated IN
the same manner, would succeed more ire
quently than they do nov. Yet few have The
courage, when they pay dollar, more or iesas
for Q shrub. 10 mutilate IL IN this manned.
Still. IL 4 worth trying.

The Rutherford Democracy.

SHELBY, N. c., August % The
largest crowd ever assembled in
Rutherfordton was present to day tc
hear Judge Fowle. Maj. Finger and
Attorney General Davidson. On a
triumphant march from the mount
aims they were met by cavalcade of
six hundred horsemen, headed by the
Rutherfordton Cornet Band and es
corted to the stand. Judge Fowle
was introduced by Col. j. A. Folney,
Chairman of the County Executive
Committee.
The Judge spoke over two hours
during which time he dealt Radical
ism many heavy blows, gained con-
verts to the Democratic ranks and
evoked most tremendous enthusiasm.
From all present appearances
Rutherford county will give a hand
some Democratic mejority this year.
In Polk county, three Republicans
have joined the Democratic ranks.
At Rutherfordton about fifteen Re-
publicans were in the cavalcade and
more have deserted their old party.
The Democratic system of county
government is gaining ground and
favor in the West. Everybody is en-
thusiastic and working hard. Speak
ers are in excellent condition and are
enthusiastically received.

Northwestern residents if the popula-

time is 100000. A million is not so far
away as 1t might seem. For less
sanguine ones it may be well to show
that the ratio of increase for the last
four years has been $4,000. Oh which
basis in 1900 St Paul would have over
$4,000 inhabitants.

city would only have contained about

rate of increase for the nine years-lSs0

of this is due to the rapid railroad de
yeiopment and the sudden awakening
of Eastern capital to the fact that the
Northwest offered financial advantages
hitherto unheard of. st. Paul being the
financial center of the Northwest and
the gateway to it, they naturally made
it their home. The development
of manufactures at the same time
brought in large body of skilled me-

A TALE OF NUMBERS.
The Population OF st. Paul and the IL.
crease This Year.
FIFTY YEARS OF GROWTH.
a Gain OF Thirteen Thousand Popula'
ton in the Last Six
Months.

The rapid growth of st. Paul's popu-
lation has gone far to sustain her claims
as to being a dangerous rival of Chi
cagO, and a city of metropolitan proper
tions. Had not her strides IN the direc
ton of public Improvements, private
enterprises and railroad development
been sustained by constant increase
in population, her material growth
would have soon been checked and
progress been brought to a standstill.
Instead of this being the case, each
wear has seen added to her numbers
new totals, marking the intluXes of
Eastern ape Southern brain and muscle.
Since tne first public record of her pop
ulatiOn-made in 1o3S-there has not
been year that st. Paul's population
has refrigerated from the position taken
by it.
The test of time has shown that the
standard used by the Folks in their di-
rectory making is the safest and most
accurate index to the actual population
of St. Paul Their multiple is 215,
chosen because success takingS OF
the census have shown that it comes the
nearest TO the true numbers. 1t does
away WIFI ilIt llllldllOll IlOOCoo AoCN w
cities of mushroom growth and leaves
no room for the addition to city'S true
population of false numbers. St Paul
has attained her present position by be
ing what she is and not what she might
seem to be. A true spirit of conserva-
tism has marked her course from the
beginning until now. Having no false
inducements to hold out to the outside
world. she can afford TO tell the
truth and profit by it. The 215
multiple is still in use by the Folks.
When they completed their annual di-
rectory number last spring the volume
contained 10000 names. On that basis
and by the use of two and One-half they
announced the population of the city to
be 10000. At the present writing
they estimate the population to be
l9S, 900. They expect to have in
their annual issue of next spring $4,000
names, which would make the popula-
ton then pa, 900. The year 1890 will
undoubtedly see it 2S3, or an increase
over 1880 of 10000: over 1870 of 100000,
and over 1860 of 100000. The following
comparative table will show the prog
rass aHa in fifty CparS
