Whv Not Plant Pecan Trees7

1t is rather remarkable that so few pecan
trees have been planted in this locality.
They are very profitable. 1t is true that
they are of rather slow growth, but when
they begin to bear they soon yield a crop
that pays handsomely. The crop is an
almost certain one, and steadily increases
year after year.
The climate and soil in this part of the
south are suitable for their growth, and, be-
sides their fruit, they make a very hand
some shade tree. Indeed, there are few
trees that make so handsome an adornment
for a country residence. They are valuable,
therefore, for ornament as we'll as for
revenue.
The period from seed to bearing is about
seventeen years, but if transplanted at the
end of one year, and the top root is short
ened, the tree will bear in about eleven
years.
Hon. w. w. Gordon has some fine speci-
mems of the tree on his farm on the Thun-
derbolt road. The nuts gathered from them
this year are excellent. They are equal in
size to those grown in Texas, and are worth
in this market about 81 bushel. DIR. Read
has some fine trees on his rice plantation on
the Augusta road. There are nearly 100
trees in his grove, and II they are not now
bearing fruit they soon will be- The grove
is very valuable, and its value will continue
to increase for many years. The doctor
showed wisdom in planting it.

A One-Price House.
From the Toledo Blade.

1T is a singular thing" remarked a promi-
nent dry goods man, how country merchants,
coming here to Guy, refuse to believe that we
are selling goods at a fair price and insist on
trying to cut us down on everything. | had
an experience the other day which is in point,
A merchant from down in Indiana came in and
began to look over things with one of my clerks
we try to sell on the one-price principle. He
asked the price of some prints The clerk
told him the price He offered cents yard
less
"'This is a one-price house, said the clerk.
We can make no reduction
Nonsense said this smart man from the
country. You needn't try to fool me with
any such stuff as that. I'll give you cents
less
And the clerk could not persuade him that
he was telling MIN the truth, finally coming to
me in despair. went out and took the man in
hand. l offered him goods at from to cents
above the marked price, and then would take
whatever he offered me. He finished his DUR
chaSes, slapped me on the back remarking:
That's something like. None of your e-prce
business for me, and went out. In the after
noon he came back and I had two bills made
out for him. The first handed him was made
up from his own prices. 1t was for about $7OO
He looked at 1t and said: Those are good prices.
Oh, you can't get ahead Of me with your one
price business Then handed him the second.
which was made I'D of the actual prices at
which we had been selling. 1t was over 800
less.
what's that?' said he.
" That is the bill we want you to pay That
is what the goods cost you at our prices
fooled by thinking you knew more about our
business than we do ourselves
He paid the bill meekly and thanked me for
his lesson"

A Sleek Director,
From the Nev York Press.

FROM me NeU YORK Press.
A few months ago director in a New Eng
land country bank asked the cashier for his tin
box, which he had placed in the bank vault for
safe keeping. box was handed out, and in it
was packed $4,000 Of bonds in an envelope,
duly marked with name and address, and the
box was passed back to the cashier for safe
keeping. After few days the same director
called for his box again, and after looking it
Being near-sighted and forgetful, the director
thought ne might perhaps have mislad them,
and after hunting everywhere for months gave
up the search and applied to the railroad com
pany for the issue Of duplic ate bonds. Just as
arrangements were about made for the issue of
the duplicate bonds fellow director. hearing of
it, asked him what he would give for bis bonds
and no questions asked. zone hundred
dollars" was the reply "well," said he, IN
see what l can do You know am kind of
detective" In few days he told the director
who had lost the bonds to call at his house and
get them, which he did on the payment of 500.
After a few days director No. was rather
sorry he had parted with his 500. and after
waiting a time discovered how director No. 2
came in possession of the bonds. The wrong
box had been passed to No. 1. 1t was the box
of No. 2, and in it was placed the S18, 900 bonds
in an envelope on which was written the name
and address of No. 1. No. shortly afterward
changed his tin box for wooden one, long be-
fore he gave up the bonds, for fear another de-
post might be made in it. The director who
kept the bonds for months, until he heard the
railroad company were to issue new ones, and
exacted 800 from his fellow director was
elected first selectman on Monday. Oct 1, and
a man who has scarcely seen a sober day IN a
year was elected town clerk and treasurer

Railroad Capitalization.

Congressman Morse's bill to repeal the
anti-pooling section of the interstate COM
merce law is receiving great deal of atten-
ton in all parts of the country. There is
very grave doubt whether the prohibition
of pooling was wise legislation. 1t has not
been productive of the benefits which were
expected from it. Tie purpose, of course,
was to prevent discrimination against GER
tain places aid to protect local roads and
the business of local distributing points.
But consolidation has been substituted for
pooling, and the evils of pooling are magni-
fed The short railroads are being alb
sorbed by the great railroad systems, and
local places of distribution are being
injured to a greater extent than when
pooling was permitted. A few years ago
railroad Of 800 or 40 miles in length was
considered long one. Now 5000 or 5000
miles are combined under one management
Charles Francis Adams, in speech before
the Commercial Club of Boston the other
day. said that the time was not distant,
perhaps, when there would be railroad
systems Of 10000 miles or more each,
and that all the railroads Of the country
would be crystallized into two or three great
systems. The interstate commerce law,
which was intended to check Capitalization,
gave new impetus, he said to the forces
which produce Capitalization, and the rail
roads are being pushed in that direction
much more rapidly than ever before.
The money for railroads is in the long
haul and the railroad combinations are ex-
tremely hurtful to the smaller places Of
distribution. The combinations which
have thus far been made have been bene-
fetal to such places as Chicago, st. Louis,
Cincinnati and cities of that size, and dam
aging to smaller places; but, Ar. Adams
said, as the railroad systems grew from
their present size to 10000 miles or more,
the whole business of the country would be
drawn toward New York, and even such
cities as Chicago aud st. Louis would
suffer.
MIR. Adams declared that he did not be-
lieve that the repeal of the pooling clause
of the interstate commerce law would pre-
vent the larger roads from gradually alb
sorbing the smaller ones, but, doubtless, it
would tend to retard railroad centraliza-
ton. The material and scientific develop
ment, he said, which was hurrying us to-
ward greater GENERALIZATION could not be
paralyzed by an act of congress.
Mr.. Adams declared that he did not be-
lieve that the present unsatisfactory rail
road situation. of which stockholders are
complaining, and which is bewildering
directors and frightening bankers, was due
to either state or national legislation. but
Ito the covetousness, want of good faith
and the low moral of those in whose hands
the management of the railroad system
now is-in word, to the absence among
railroad managers of any high standard of
commercial honor" If Mr.. Adams sweep
ing criticism of those who manage rail-
roadsis correct, there is not SO much need
for new laws or the repeal of existing ones
to improve the railroad situation as there
is for NEW religion Of which the Rev.
Heber Newton speaks.
