CHRY6ANTHEMUM NOTES.

Chrysanthemum leaves smell like chamo-
mile. but their flowers are generally almost
odoTless.
The first chrysanthemums seen at any hor-
ticultural exhibition in the United States
were in Boston in 1850, when sixteen verie-
ties were shown.
There is no better place for chrysanthe-
NUNS in bloom than a cool greenhouse; the
flowers open perfacJly, they last so long and
their color is SO pure.
With Americans the chrysanthemum is
strictly an ornamental plant; in Japan, how
ever, there Is a RyoriEiku, with yellow
GoweTs-which is eaten.
It is not well to shorten back the japanese
sorts after the middle If July, the Chinese
sorts after the end of July or the pompones
after the middle Of August.
The chrysanthemum Is the national badge
of Japan, and nowhere else has its cultiva-
ton reached such perfection or arc its finer
varieties more jealousy guarded.
Mr.. Yoshida, a nurseryInan Of Toxic, states
In The Bulletin d'Arboriculcure that chrvsau-
themum shows in Japan date from 4. D. 800,
having been organized by the Emperor Ouda
The beautiful but pernicious white weed Of
the hay fields Is q true chrysanthemuu,
namely, c. Leucanthemum, and since a year
OF two gardeners have secured a semi-double
variety Of it.
The first regular chrvSantheEune exhibition
held in England was at Norwich, Nov. -,
1922, when practically the same varieties
were shown there as were exhibited the fol
lowing year in Boston.
The different types OF chrysanthemums are
known rs japanese, Chinese and Ponpone,
and they are again suhdivl6ad into large and
small Powered forms, incurved and refaxed
forms and GGenone conferred forms Of all
tbree.

We wish The PROGRESSIVE farmer
and its noble editor much succe and
hope they may long continue to pros

reading but studying its contents.

alizstion, bankruptcies and the value
of coined money, establish postohces,
to grant patents, to establish courts,
to punish for crimes committed on the
high seas; to declare war, raise armies,
ETC.; to legislate for the District of
Columbia, ports, navy yards, arsenals,
etc. to punish counterfeitors, mail rob-
bers, ETC.. to punish treason, to admit
now States into the Union, and to act
as the agent of the States in the man
agement and disposal of their "terri-
tory or other property" there is no
other power granted which can affect
the lives, the liberties or the property
of the people.
This list seems simple enough, and
embraces all that our fathers intended
the Congress to exercise. Gross usur-
patton, it is true, has gone far beyond
these bounds, and the people are car
rying heavy loads as a consequence;
and the question which we may justly
ask ourselves is whether we should
seek relief by asking for more usur-
pations or by demanding that the
government be brought within the
bounds established by the Constitution
and let the business Of the people alone.
1 trust your readers will carefully
inspect the list of powers granted to
the Congress, compare them with the
actual working of the Federal govern
ment, and then decide on the duty
they owe themselves and their chill
dren.
Evidently there is need of a moral
revolution, and the instruction of the
people and their education in "the
science of economical government. "
These things would strongly tend to
produce wholesome changes and re-
forms in the measures of the general
government, for we cannot DOUBT that
the great majority of u people are
honest and patriotic and go wrong
because "they know not what they
do"
Now as there can be no usurpation
in undoing a wrong, [ suggest that
there be added to the demands of the
Farmers Alliance the enactment Of a
law levying an income tax, so as to
compel the pets of the government,
who have for a generation been en-
powered to amass colossal fortunes
out of the hard earnings of the peo-
pie, to pay all o. a part of the ex-
penses of the government and allow
other classes a resting spell. No
honest man can deny the justice OF
this method of rectifying this most in,
iquitous system.
Very respectfully, etc.

RAILROADS AND RAILROAD
COMMISSIONS.
No. r..
[Cor. Scotland Neck Democrat.

To understand the relation between
the sovereign power of the State and
the corporate power of the railroads,
and also the relation between the rail
roads and the people as individual
patrons of the roads, we must bear in
mind that these corporations petitioned
the State to grant them special and
absolute privileges and immunities
above all other citizens, and over the
territory of the State and over the citi-
zens' lands in defiance of, and against
the will of the unwilling. Keep in
mind also that these corporations paid
to the State not one dollar in return
for their exacting rights to transport
persons and freight over the State.
No other individual has any right
whatever to run his vehicle over these
public highways.
Under these conditions ordinarily
all competition is shut out; and if the
position of the railroads and their at
torneys be the law, then the legisla-
ture has created a new class of citizens
and clothed them with power and pre-
negatives greater than are possessed
by other citizens-power to Cypress
others of the State even unto the con-
fscation of the property of all other
citizens. To suppose that the legisla-
ture granted or intended to grant to
these corporations any such power, is
to suppose that they were composed
of very ignorant or wicked men. And

A FAIR PHILOSOPHER DOTS
DOWN A FEW FACTS.

DAVIDSON Co., N. G.
ME-. EDIToR:-tn reply to my sister,
Mrs. M. c.. Carver, we, the good
sisters from Davidson county, are not
asleep, but awake with the bird of the
morning, and will join with her in the
"hurrah for the farmers of old Per-
quimans," and for the farmers of the
grand old North State; and send up
three cheers for the farmers of old
Davidson county. Our farmers are
advanced in their work for the season
preparing for large crops of grain, to-
bacco and cotton. They have just
completed a large warehouse at
brownsville and are building one at
Lexington, thereby enabling us to sell
our 10 products at our price and buy
ing what we need through our State
Business Agent, Nh. Worth, thus
doing away with the big per cent.
made by the merchants out of the
earnings of the Woodworking farmers.
We believe in the diversified system
of farming-supply our wants and
have plenty and enough to spare.
Our golden rule is, to gtve no mort
gage or lien on ow crops thus keeping
out of debt, living within our means,
knowing full well that faithful econ,
omy will bring out the bright tints OF
the rainbow and show US the silvery
lining to the darkest cloud.
We, the good sisters, must look to
our poultry, dairy and garden inter
lists, so that when our lords of creation
come to the table it shall be loaded
! with only farm and home products

WHAT SHALL THE FARMERS
DO7

To THE EDITOR: That the farmers
must edo something " is generally ad-
mitted, for with bad seasons and short
crops, the prices of produce low and
of supplies high, mortgages and inter
est demanding early settlement, and
money scarce and hard to get, the
times are positively hard; while many
believe that the degree of stringency
is increasing, comparatively, "harder
every day." and some ever insist that
the superlatlve has been reached, be-
yond which it is not possible to go,
because the times are the "hardest
aver known" "Be economical, live
within your MEANS" say those who
fare sumptuously and wear Sunday

who have also a surplus with which

the farmers is how to save enough of

the problem for themselves ? Too
many farmers are waiting for some

MIDDAY Alarm

The alarm of fire at one O'Clock this
afternoon, which in the face of the furi-
Gus wind filed all who heard it with the
gravest apprehension, was caused by the
discovery of flames in the roof of kitch-
en- attached TO a house, at 500 Fifteenth
street, occupied by Andrew Boehler. The
fire was subdued with loss of not over
$50: the cause was defective fiue
After the fire was out the always willing
kid made the bells on various hose houses
rattle for half an hour. Such are the
privileges of the city having a voluntce
department.
1t was fortunate that Joseph Myers. q
fireman, was passing Mr.. Andrew Boeh
ler's house when the fire was discovered.
He cut a hole in the roof, poured in the
water, while the ladies of the neighbor>
hood acted as bucket brigade.
