HEDGE PLANTS
The Value of the Usage Orange and the
Mccartney Rose as Hedge Plants

The Value of the Usage Orange and the
Mccartney Rose as Hedge Plants.
We know of no plant that is superior
to the Usage orange for hedge plant
1t is obnoxious to the objection that 1t
is naturally inclined to grow too large;
but this tendency may largely be con-
troled by iudicious pruning and cutting
back This plant is in almost universal
use in the West, as was observed by
those who were parties to the recent
farmers excursion to Ohio. The Nc
Cartney rose is also good hedge plant,
and is preferred by some to any. 1t does
better when combined with ditch and
bank. Cut ditch on the outside OF the
proposed hedge row, say three feet VIDE
at the top, and slOping according to the
character of the soil, so that 1t may be
two and a half or three feet wide and
two feet deep. Throw the soil on the
inside so as to make bank OF the
same cross section as the ditch. Pre-
pare the cuttings by taking the current
years growth in November, cutting IN
lengths of about eight inches. PlOw the
ground and manure it, if not, already
rich, along the inner side of the bank.
Set the cuttings one foot apart along the
row if abundant; if scarce they may be
put several feet apart, and made closer
by subsequently layering the bottom
shoots 1t is best to start with rooted
cuttings. As the plants grow now they
should be trained to grow up the side OF
the bank OF course if an effective
fence is wanted at once, it will be neces-
sary to have straight four or tive-rail
high fence along the top of the bank,
upon which, the rose plants will be
trained as they grow. The hedge should
be cut back every November so as to
give bushy, thick growth. The single
white Mccartney rose is the best; the
Cherokee rose is not recommended

THE UBIQUITOUS SPOON.
Its Presence is an Imperative Necessity to
Domestic Bliss.

Its Presence is an Imperative Necessity to
Domestic Bliss.
What is the greatest need which faces
= the ewly-married at the very doorSill
of connubial bliss? Is it a deep, abiding
love, Or an armchair that will carry
double?
No; the voices Of their friends answer
In mighty chorus:
'Spoons"
Without spoons, the robe Of faille
francaise is the shroud Of departed
hopes. The "Lohengrin" march is
wailing dirge, and the voice of Rev.
Reredos Chasuble but sounding brass
and a tinkling cymbal.
Devoted to each other, and resolved
to sacrifice all on the altar of their love,
the happy pair may struggle along with
only thirty-siX nut-picks apiece. They
discern the path Of duty by the feeble
glimmer of six oXydized silver lamps.
For the simple tastes of the lowly, seven
lemonade sets in Venitian glass will
suffice. Let only five pairs of bronze
negros with silver turbans smile benign
antly from the mantel, and the hum
BILE homo is happy.
Where King Cupid reigns, his scepter
is none the less potent because single
Mexican onyx cabinet bearing twelve
royal Worcester molasses jugs, adorns
the parlOr. Instances are not wanting
of happy welded life, where the high
contracting parties got less than dozen
copies of "Dante's Inferno" with Mr.
Dore's cheerful illustrations.
ButspOOns are imperatively necessary.
Humanity calls for them in tones of
earnest pleading, and the brides uncle,
the maid of honor and the best man, lead
the phalanX that hastens to the rescue.
These excellent people are resolved
that their young friends shall not go
forth unprepared into cold and spoon
less world
The clerks in papa's Office, collective
ly, send spoons. The head ok-keeper,
on his own personal hook, sends satin
lined box of spoons Papa's political
friends send spoons for after-dinner
coffee. Mammals aunt, in Chicago,
can't come to the wedding, but sends her
loving congratulations and berry
spoon. The bridegroom's elder brother
and his wife attach their card to a case
OF spoons. In cleaning, shining rows
the spoons glitter in their blue, red and
old-gold beds.
To be sure, there are dolts who fail to
zee why spoons, and spoons only, should
be sent to the newly welded. In every
couples acquaintance are between nine
to twenty-seven persons who will make
the daring innovation of pie-knives.
The eccentric old woman who will make
herself conspicuous by sending pict-
ure still lives; and the wrong-headed rel
ative who thinks that no civilized home
y complete without books, inficts his
obsolete notions upon the long-suffering
couple.

by any thing except spoons

the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.

An Alliance Victory.

CHARLOTTE, n. c., August -
Another victory is to be added to the
list the Alliance have gained in North
Carolina. 1t was not thought the ALI
ance would turn deaf ear to the
wishes of the better class of Democrats
in Col. Cowles' district, for he had
made North Carolina splendid Repre-
sentative, and the party hoped that his
nomination would not be barred by the
Alliance. But Col. Cowies goes down
in the defeat of the Anti-Alliance can
didates.
Out of seven counties Cowles only
carries one, The Alliance candidate
carries six. This will show very con-
clusively that the Alliance expect to
have their way. Upto date this makes
the Alliance candidates lumber seven,
against two non-Alliance men.
The Eighth district, which Col.
Cowles represents, is largely Demo-
cratic, and heretofore a nomination
was equivalent to an election, out since
his overwhelming defeat it is no easy
matter to foreshadow the future.
Major Graham, the lucky candidate, is
a strong Alliance man and a large
farmer. Indications are that he will
carry the district by as large majority
as Cowles did.

THE SUB-TREASURY BILL.
No Kind Word for It in the Ways and
Means Committee,

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The Far
mers' Alliance sub-treasury bill figured
to-day before the ways and means COM
miltee in connection with the resolu-
ton introduced last week by Repre-
sentative Wheeler providing for its
report and consideration.
Inasmuch as the resolution seemed
to propose trenching upon the preroga-
tives of the committee on rules by the
ways and means committee in the
clause setting apart day for the con-
sideration of the bill, and for the further
reason that, owing to the delay in its
delivery to the committee, the date
fixed for consideration of the bill had
already been passed, the resolution
itself was laid aside without action.
The discussion this morning, how
ever, failed to develop kindly feeling
toward the Alliance bill on the part Of
the committee.

a Curious Rail Accident.
lCilunlhia Record. 9th. /

AS the up passenger train on the
Columbia and Greenville road which
left here at II o'clock, approached the
''Scven Mile Siding' freight train
was seen standing on the side track,
which is quite close to the main line.
The passenger did not slacken speed,
but rushed by. The draught made by
the flying train blew open refrigerating
boXcar, which jamred into the passen-
ger coach and caused an accident. The
open door crushed into the train and
cut and bruised the arm Of Mr. O. T.
Johnson, Of Charleston, in a very pain
ful manner, but no bones were broken.
\ negro passengers arm was also
caught by the door and was mashed
and broken.
The wounded men were given at
tention and their wounds bound up,
and after a short stoppage the train
proceeded on its way.
