Licenses in the Mile Circuit.


To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Although on my back, suffering intense pain
from an accident, cannot refrain from stat
ing that the impression conveyed by the ar
ticle in yesterday paper as to what demanded
Of the Commissioners in regard to licenses in
the one-mile circuit is an erroneous one.
have never asked, and do not ask now, that
the Commissioners violate law. I am thor
oughly posted rs to the meaning and scope of
the law Of February % of this year. What /
did ask the Commissioners to do, and what
ask them now to do, is to issue the licenses that
they had granted some nine or ten persons to
whom the Commissioners had sent postal cards
stating thereon that the license Of each person
named had been granted, which was done on
February Is or q. The persons % advised
called on the morning Of the 2sth for their
the President, and they were told by the
license clerk in the assessors Office that the
Commissioners had requested that for the
present no licenses should issue. make the
point that the law says that on and after the
passage no license within one mile Of the
SOLDIER Home should be granted That these
licenses were granted prior 70 the pass-
age Of the act and prior to the signing
Of the same. and that these persons
came to the Commissioner Office TO receive
what had been granted, and therefore the Com
missioners would be justified in Issuing these
licenses, - they were in the issuance Of those
who are keeping open in the circum-
scribed district And - they place their
refusal to issue the license upon the
Law, and not in their discretion, claim that
whose licenses have been granted TO keep open,
- NE others who receive license In the same
district. make tins explanation 20 - 70 mark

POISONED BY JEssAMIEE,

On the 26th of February, Mr.. E. Il.
Burney, of Western Prong township, In
Columbus county, lost two OF his chill
dren by being poisoned of jessamine
bark. On that day he was called off
TO work the roads. When he reached
home at noon he found his three oldest
children, aged six, four, and three
years, playing in the woods near his
house. They followed him in the yard,
and in a few minutes he discovered
that there was something the matter
with the oldest one, and on eXamina-
ton he found that the other two were
in the same condition. In a few min
utes after they were taken sick the two
oldest were dead. In the woods where
they we're playing was found where
they had peeled off the bark of the
iessamine vine and chewed. About
twelve months ago one Of the same
children was poisoned and came near
dying from eating the jessamine
blooms. FRIEND.

IRISH POTATOES.

Prof. Alwood's excellent article on
potato culture leaves but little to be
said upon this subject. I would, how
ever, remark that at this Station last
season, as in all my previous expert
ments, the planting of large, whole
potatoes was decidedly poor policy. In
the first place the quantity of seed is
enormous, and the resulting crop, while
perhaps larger in the gross than from
cut sets, is much smaller in market
able potatoes. In this I believe we
corroborate Prof. Alwood's experience.
The best results I have ever had were
from good sized potatoes, much larger
than a hens egg, cut to an average of
two eyes. This for early planting. For
the fall crop, which is getting to be a
very important one here, we use 1UhOLe
small potatoes, the cuttings of the first
crop, as it is important at this season
that the sets should not be cut. I
hope to have to say in regard to
this late crop, as | am beginning what
promises to be an interesting series of
experiments in connection with the
Cornell Station, they giving the early
seed and we the late to test in both
ATTITUDES. 1t is found here that the
late grown seed, once removed from
the northern stock, is the best for
spring planting here, and it will be in
teresting to note how they succeed
when sent back North.
The manner of cutting the sets for
J early crops I consider of less impor-

SHELTER AND FOOD FOR STOCK.

In a country as we'll wooded as
Western North Carolina very comfort
able log barns can be cheaply built and
covered on the sides as we'll as on top
with chestnut splits. It would surprise
some men to see what difference they
could make between two equal calves
in the fall simply by housing one warm
ly in such a barn while the other ran
out. With timber so plentiful it will
pay, too, to house hay and fodder
rather than stack it and suffer the loss
by w~eathering On every small stack.
Those who practice the stack system
may not realize they are losing enough
in weathered hay and fodder to pay
for a fine barn in a few years, but it is
true.
Another great loss is in the corn
stalks left standing in the field after
pulling the fodder. If the corn is cut
up near the ground as soon as the ears
are glazed and stood up in "shocks"
or "stooks" until fairly cured, then
the ears husked out and the entire
stalks saved with the fodder, much
more will be secured. If the big dry
stems II cut short by cutter or broad
axe in bundles, stock will eat most of
them, especially if a little cotton seed
meal can be fed along with them. But
where much corn is raised a portion of
it is easily stored in a silo and becomes
succulent food all winter. =. E. En-

courage their growth, we were not ex-
actIy prepared for the widespread
interest in this matter that has been
awakened by our previous Bulletin on
this subject. Applications for figs have
rushed in upon us from all parts of the
State. We r prOpagating all we can
and will distribute this spring to those
parts of the State best adapted to this
fruit, and hope another season to be
more fully able to supply the calls upon
us. We are now propagating forty
varieties, out of which we hope some
will be found of value in this State.
We are pleased to zee the interest In
this matter and will do all that we can
to make the fruit division of the N. G.
Station of practical use to u growers.
