Niagara Grapes on Turkey Lake.


A. W. Barber was in town few days
ago from his new home on Turkey Lake,
near Hiwassee postoffice. He has been
making further improvements on his
claim by planting a vineyard of some
two hundred grape vines, chiefly White
Niagaras. He says that the example OF
his neighbor Farr is contagious through
that settlement. When people see an ex-
perienced vineyardist like him preparing
to put in thirty acres of grape vines this
winter, and showing by his own enterprise
that he would stake everything on the
success of a vineyard in Orange county,
they are apt to be moved to plant a few
for themselves.
We inquired, ''Do you plant Florida
grown vines or those raised at the
North ?"
81 prefer vines raised last year at Mr.
Farr's place, from cuttings shipped here
last winter from his Niagara vineyard on
the shores OF Lake Erie. He tells me
they are about equal in size and vigor to
the two-year-old Northern vines he has
had. Besides, We can dig his vines, pro-
tect them from the sun, and plant them
within an hour in my wet soil, making
them sure to grow: whereas, the Northern
vine, dug lastfall, has many risks to run
before it is safely planted here"
"But how about the claim that better
crop of fruit will be realized from the
Northern vines ?"
"Well, that | regard as a theory that
will be worthy Reconsideration OF only when
there are visible proofs to support it.
The general principle of all horticulture,
that a large, vigorous young plant
promises better results than a smaller
and weaker one, is sufficient for me- Be
sides, [ prefer to trade with neigbhor,
and patronize home industry SO as to
keep our money circulating right among
us. Men who came here with money and
energy, and developed new branches of
industry in spite of croakers and old TO
gies, will not be spoiled by appreciation"
''What does it cost to get up a vine
yard of White Niagaras of one acre?'
Il shouldestimate clearing, 500; plow-
ing and narrowing, $6; stalking, digging
holes, hauling and workingin forty loads
of muck, and planting vines, $16: and
400 of Mr.. Farr's vines, at $17 per 100,
$68 Total, $11O. Besides this, there is
the cost OF the land and fencing, and the
expense of about two pounds per vine of
bone-meal and ashes. | used the muck
because it lay within astone's throw, and
was easy to obtain"
"And how much is such d vineyard
worth when it begins bearing?"
"Well, that remains to be seen. The
only basis of estimate we now have is
the report that for a vineyard of six
acres of young Niagara vines, and very
well grown, Messrs. Haynes, Young &
Bailey refused an offer Of $4,000 when
the vines were planted only eight or ten
| months "-Orlando Reporter.

American Federation.

The revolution which has dethroned
Don Pedro, of Brazil, and made that
great empire republic awakens again
the dream of philosophers Of fedora
zion of the countries of the American
continent into one great whole, 1t is
thought 10y many that it foreshadoWs a
union, commercial and social, that shall
embrace every nation from Patagonia
to Prince Williams land and from
Labrador to Chill.
There are grave reasons why this Is
not at all probable. 1t has never yet
been demonstrated that close union
eau be consumated between peoples
existing in four zones and under divers
climatic conditions. After all we ale
the creatures of the material envi-
ronment by which We are surrounded,
ard the hot-bloOded Spanish-descended
inhabitants of the southern portion OF
the continent are not likely to take
kindly to any very comprehensive
union.
Moreover, most of the nations of the
continent have thus far had their
/ hands full to handle their own affairs
without looking after their neighbors.
RebelIions are as common in South
America as runaways in Abilene, and

with such ickleness no treaty would
remain long in force.
A trade union such as the interna-
tional convention conEemplates is more
to the point and will perhaps be per-
fected. To accomplish it this govern
ment should bend every energy, for by
it we have everything to gain and moth
ing to lose. Nearly all the small Re-
publics of South America and Central
America would willingly meet US half
way in the payment of subsidies for the
maintenance of frequent and direct
communication. The one question is:
will congress meet the situation with
such a development of common-sense
craftsmanship as to profit by the OPP
portunities which are open?
The Brazilian revolution shows that
the tendency of this portion of the
world is toward greater freedom and
the rule of the majority. AS such an
indication it is a fact to be rejoiced
over and one that points to greater
things in the future.

I. S. Hallam.

The REFLECTOR priGes itself upon
the fact that during the entire cam
paign just closed it made no personal
attack upon any candidate on the
democratic ticket. All of them were
treated with respect by US. and we have
nothing to apologize for, or to retract,
and it is a matter to be greatly re-
GREETED that any republican paper,
should have so far forgotten the mis-
sion of the republican party as to have
stopped to malicious vilifcation.
We have known Mr.. Hallam for fif-
teen years, and we know him to be an
honorable, upright and patriotic citi-
zen. During the war he served two
and one-haif years in the 18th West
Virginia infantry and the 1st West
Virginia cavalry, and thus while some
of those who were traducing him and
charging him with dislOyalty were
skulkiug in northern woods and dodg-
liiS Ltlc vi AT, MI was HNAf
ing to put down the rebellion. We
have no patience with ward politician
who will endeayor to call in question
tile loyalty of valiant defender
of the union in order to accomplish a
political purpose With pleasure the
REFLECTOR publishes the following ex-
preston of confidence in the loyalty
and patriotism of Mr.. Hallam from the
