The Gubernatorial contest.

Thursdays dispatches from Graf
ton, where the JOINT legislative com
mittee on the gubernatorial contest ID
sitting, said: Including the alleged
returns from Kanawha county, Gen.
Nathan Gof had q majority over
Judge A. B. Fleming OF ITO votes in
the November election. IN the con.
test before the legislative committee,
votes stricken out increased the allie
ged majority by Eve votes. To- day
Messrs. Kee, Sprigg, Lively, Maxwell
and Morris were present at the sess.
ION OF the committee. The returns
from Brooke county we're considered.
Fleming challenged 139 votes and
Con challenged Al votes. OF those
challenged by Fleming "a votes were
stricken out. or those challenged
by Golf five votes were stricken out,
showing clear gain Of 79 votes in
Brooke county and a net gain, 30 far
in the contest. OF "a votes for Judge
Fleming. General Gofrs apparent
majority at the present time. there-
fore, Is reduced from one hundred and
ten to thirtyssix votes.
MORRIS AND MAXWELL TURNED TAIL.
Heretofore in the canvass Messrs.
Maxwell and Morris (Rep.) have in
sisted that persons voting out of their
magisterial districts should be struck
off, ard have held that the statute to
that effect was constitutional and
right. Messrs. Kee and Lively (Dem.)
have agreed with them.
Eat the session, to-day however,
Messrs. Maxwell and Morris turned
tail on their previous position and
voted against striking out the votes
cast for Golf in Brooke coun.
~. and they were accordingly thrown
out.
OF ihe "a votes stricken out in
Brooke county, 20 were challenged
10y Fleming on the ground that these
votes cast in tho Wellsburg magiste
rial district ought to have been cast
In Cross Creek district.
VOTED IN THE WRONG DISTRICT.
The question at issue was based on
these facts: The territory in which
the 20 voters resided was in Cross
Creek district previous to 1877. Inf
SAoe JSaf tuc tOWu COuuClI OF Tue TOWN.
OF Wellsburg extended the corporate
limits of the town and took in that
part OF Cross Creek district in which
these seventy voters resided But
the COpnty Court Of Brooke county
never took ANY action changing the
boundaries of the mag isterial dis
trIcts. and no steps'w hateyer were Is.
keE by the County COURT to change
tho lines Of these districts until after
the Presidential and 8ybernatorial
election Of 1888. Thees, 70 voters
were challenged on ihe ground that
they were cast in We,Fsburg district
illegally, instead Of Cross Creek dis.
trict, and they were stricken out,
Messrs. Kee, Lively and Sprigg vo-
ting in the Affirmative and Messrs.
Maxwell and Nor !is in the negative.

Rose Growing In a Nutshell.

We find the following in the excellent
catalogue issued by the Reasoner Bros,
Manatee, Fla, and present it to our read
ers, as it seems to tell the whole story in
the fewest possible words:
The 'Queen of Flowers" needs little
petting on most of our Florida soil, except
on the best hammock lands. In the first
place, well drained location is necessary,
and the next, moderately rich land. We
have had good success with roses on the
poorest pine land, by using the following
plan, which involves some labor and
trouble, but will pay well in the long run
in any location: Dig hole in the ground,
somewhat larger than the intended bed of
roses, and two feet in depth fill to within
six inches of the surface with half rotten
sods previously procured from some old
field, or in the woods or along sOmepond
where the hogs have been roofing. CThe
sods and grass should be tramped down
thoroughly SO they will not settle too
much.) The top six inches should be or
binary light soil, with few handfuls Of
thoroughly rotted and cOmposted stable
manure scattered and mixed with the
soil around the roots OF each plant, to
give IL d SOOQ SCdTU. lie D0SU UHIl0 10
transplant roses is in the fall and winter
months, but look out for rabbits, for they
are hungry at that time OF the year, and
prefer the leaves and branch IS of the
choicest rose to other kinds of fodder,
even to the cabbage plants. Don't try
to save the tops of your roses when you
transplant Cut them back well, even to
only three or four buds and leavesis best,
and in a few weeks you will be awakened
with strong, young healthy shoots full of
blossom buds. Prune your roses every
October, cutting back everything but a
few strong, healthy young shoots, and
you will be favored with buds and bios
SONS all winter. The best buds and flow
ers are from the new, young, vigorous
canes. 1t is a mistake to save old hide
bound stalks year after year; cut them
back to give place to new shoots.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-01-09
Pruning Roses.
Manatee County

A French grower of roses offers the fol-
lowing statements deduced from facts un-
der his observations:
1. If in the spring some rose bushes are
pruned, and, on the contrary, some 9TH
ers are allowed to remain without any
suppression of the branches at all, the
latter will come into bloom about fort
night before the others; their flowers will
be more numerous, and at the same time
less beautiful.
2. If some rose bushes are completely
pruned, and upon some others are left
only some twigS, these latter will have
the same advance in the time of bloom.
B. If two rose bushes are pruned alike,
one at the end of September and the 9th
er in February, the one pruned in autumn
will flower first.
4. If to ard the middle of September
the branches of a rose bush are laid down
horizontally, and those of another bush
in exactly the same condition are left in
the natural position, and in the spring
both be pruned alike, the one with the
branches laid down will bloom first.
5. In pruning rose bushes before vege-
tatiOn starts, that is to say, in February,
bloom on them will be obtained in ad-
vance of that which will appear on bush
es pruned later.
6. Pinching the young shoots as they
start on bushes after pruning, retards
blooming very much. In this case the
pinching should be done before the flower
buds appear, or when the young shoots
have only three or four leaves.-Ex.
