BUTrRRwoRrHs OPTION BILL.

feat 1t.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Speaker Reed is
opposed to the Butterworth option bill.
This is given by republicans as the reason
why he tolerated the flibustering led by
Billy Mason of Chicago, who is shortly to
stump Speaker Reeds district, and other re-
publicans against the compound lard bill,
which has eaten up the first of the two days
set apart for the Butterworth option bill.
In their filibustering operations these good
republicans did all the things
which they had so censured
when they were attempted by the wicked
democrats, and which Speaker Reed has so
thwarted with righteous indignation. But
1t makes all the difference in the world who
is doing the fllibustering, and so the virtu-
Gus Mason and the rest of the recreant re-
publicans were allowed to filibuster to their
hearts content. Perhaps if Speaker Reed
had interfered MIR. Mason might have can
celled his dates in Speaker Reeds district.

Plans in Secret Session.

The Straightouts Discussing Their
Plans in Secret Session.
CHARLESTON, s. c., Aug 26.-The
straightout conference which met at Col
umbia to-day resulted in more than was
expected of it. 1t was thought that In view
of the signal failure of the straightouts ar
the recen t convention that all hope had
been lost, and that the meeting to-day
would be dismal failure.
There were 400 delegates from the straight
democracy at the conference. Every county
in the state was represented, with the ex-
ception Of Newbery, Pickens and O'Connor.
The delegates seemed to have considerable
hope, and, although every one thought that
hope had been abandoned, they went to
work.
CALLED TO ORDER.
The conference was called to order by
Chancellor johnson, who stated that the
straightouts had met as agreed upon at the
last conference. In view of the defeat of
the primary at the recent convention the
prospects, he said, were not of the brightest
kind, but the noble men OF the state had
met to see what could possibly be done to
save the state The men who had maligned
the state, he said, have carried almost every
poiEt.
John D. Kennedy, the chairman of the
advertising committee, selected at the last
conference, submitted a report of the work
done by his committee.
SECRET SESSION PROPOSED.
Joseph w. Barnwell of Charleston, who
has been one of the best leaders of the
straightouts, moved that the conference go
into secret session. The motion was supported
by a strong speech. He insisted that such
methods were absolutely necessary.
The motion was opposed by Chairman
Kennedy.
Long speeches pro and con were made by
Messrs. Dantzer of Orangeburg, Douglass
of Fairfield, Davie of Chester, Murphy of
Colleton, and others.
After discussion of an hour it was de-
cided to go into secret session, and the hall
was cleared. The chief purpose of the
secret session was to avoid newspaper ac-
counts of the session. The straightouts did
not care to have their plans for this or other
years exposed. and, by ordering a secret
session, debarred the hostile press from
securing their plans.

Newly Dug Trees.

More than one-half the failures in get
tinga 'stand" Of any kind OF fruit are the
result of careless digging and neglect
while the roots are out Of their native
elements. There is no class of planters
who do their work so rapidly and with
such seeming carelessness asnurserymen,
yet their losses are comparatively small,
simply because they know that the prop
erplace for roots is in the earth, and take
every precaution to make their condition
when out of the earth as similar to the
natural one as possible In the earth the
roots are moist and subject to very slow
variations of temperature, and are also
in darkness. AS usually handled, these
natural conditions attending the life of a
root are all disregarded. The tree is
rudely dug from the ground, where ithas

weeks, loaded on a wagon, exposed to a
drying wind, hot sun, carted for miles

driven into barn at night, with the
thermometer at $50 the next morning,
to stay on the wagon until weather and
convenience permit planting. knew one
old farmer to keep load of cherry and
peach trees on his wagon in the barn for
a week, without any sort of protection,
through a snow storm, and then refuse
payment because the trees nearly all
failed to grow. He was SO ignorant of
the probable cause of the failure that he
was going to stand a law suit, but his
laWer had some knowledge of horticult-
ure and advised him to pay up, charging
him S5 for knowledge that the farmer of
seventy years ought to have acquired by

perhaps because they are $50 watched
and tended" One might easily imagine
them sad and sympathizng when the
members OF the household that have
grown to men and womanhood under
their sheltering vines, go forth into the
busy world, or are carried to their last
resting place; and there, too, we plant
tender vines.
| know of another home close to the
broad Ohio, when strangers hands train
and Irvine the vines on porch and por-
tico; it seems to me that the Ampelopsis
that enwreathes the pillows must surely
miss the fingers that for so many years
tackled in place it's delicate sprays. In
spring it was pretty ornament for the
parlOr, and the lace curtains were often
Topped back with it; it's dainty green was
made "a background for bouquets in vases
and it's tendrils wreathed about picture
frames above the mantle. How intimate
lyconnected with the family history seem
the vines, for whenever the memory of
the "Cld home" comes there the vines
cling and beautify the picture, no matter
how bright and sweet the roses and lilies
bloomed, or the apple blossoms that
came down in fragrant showers over the
dewy grass. MINNIE GILM)RE Mills.

Moss Roses.
Editor Floral Department:

Editor Floral Department:
Notwithstanding the unprecedented
drouth and its bad effects on shrubbery
of all kinds, roses included, have had
the pleasure, once again, of seeing the
assertion refuted that Moss roses will not
bloom in Florida.
While they suffer greatly for the want
of rain, yet they have recently produced
several Of their beautifully messed buds
and deliciOusly sweet flowers. There
would have been more and better had
there been means OF irrigating them.
1t is quite evident that some varieties
of Moss roses incline to be non bloomers,
and these are vigorous growers and null
tiply by shoots from below. These should
be budded with the Capt John Ingraham

growing in clusters, buds beautifully
messed. The Purpurea, purple, with i'm
bricated petals.
We all know how worthless the Mare
chal Mel is on it's own roots in this sec
ton, and how it eXcels all other roses in
growth and bloom when budded. | be-
ieve it is almost as necessary to bud sew
eral other kinds, among them the more
delicate MOSES. While the few succeed
with them on their on roots in South
Florida, all can have them by taking the
precaution to bud them. Will 'Gera-

Transplanting Evergreens.

Several persons in this locality have
complained to us thatthey have not been
successful in transplanting the common
red cedar of our hammocks. A little
questioning has invariably elected the
fact that they have carelessly pulled up
the plants, or discovering them during q
hunt or fishing trip, thrown them in the
wagon there to remain until they reached
home, the roots in the meantime receiv-
ing no protection against the effects of
the sun and wind. AS we'll might they
have built a. fire and held the roots in it,
failure would not have been more certain.
The following directions from Orchard
and Garden, for May, will, if carefully
followed, insure perfect success in trans
planting this highly desirable class Of
trees
Evergreens may be successfully trans
planted in nearly every month in the
year provided proper care be exercised
to keep the roots moist. These cannot
be exposed to the sun and wind with i'm
punity, and while the roots are out of the
ground it would be well to keep them en-
tirely covered over with some sort of
wrapping material. II. the transplanting
can be done on a damp, rainy, day.it will
be great advantage. Evergreens are
very susceptible to dry and hot air, far
more so than deciduous trees, and per-
haps nine-tenths of the failures in trans
planting them may safely be laid to this
cause. AS matter of fact the roots of
any sort of tree or plant should5not be
permitted to become dry in any degree
before planting. Success cannot and
should not be expected under such lack
OF care -

The correct name of the climber Mrs
Mills writes about is Bryonia dioica,
though it is very generally catalogued
as Bryonopsis and is also known as Bry-
ony. The generic name is from bryo, to
sprout; in allusion to the quick growth
OF the stems. Beside the common B.
dioica there are several species, natives
of warm or tropical countries, which
would doubtless prove well adapted to
this climate. B. laciniosa, a native of
Ceylon, has deeply cleft, five parted leaves
and fruit the size of cherry, striated
with white. Henderson's Hand Book Of
Plants gives brief and interesting de-
scription of the plant, which we repro
duce for the benefit of our readers. From
it Mrs. Mills will learn that the poison

tion.. The male and female flowers are in
separate clusters; sometimes, though
not always, they are on different plants.
The plant has a fetid odor, and possess
acrid, emetic and purgative properties,
and from it's elegant appearance in
autumn, with it's brilliant colored fruit,
accidents not unfrequently occur to child
rem and others incautiously tasting the
fruit, which is an active poison. Singu-
,larly enough, the young shoots may be
cooked and eaten with, impunity. When
served up in the same manner as aspara-
gus, they are said to equal it in flavor.
Many of the species are not poisonous,
and are much valued for their medicinal
properties. -Henderson's Hand Book OF
