SHIPPING FIGS.
An Excellent Suggestion to North Car
olina Fruit Growers.

The New York papers tell us that
fresh figs are being successfully ship
ped to that city from California. If
they can be sent from there why not
much better from North Carolina :?
We have no doubt that it can easily
be done at greater profit than the
California growers can make. We can
grow figs in all of eastern and south
ern North Carolina just as successful-
ly as in California. Most people inn
agine California to be land devoid of
frost. But the circulars of the Cali
fornia Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion show that last winter the figtrees
even in Southern California were
worse cut back by frost than they were
even at Raleigh. Figs for shipment
should be just ripe and not too soft.
Each fruit should be wrapped in soft
tissue paper and packed carefully in
the ordinary strawberry boxes and
these placed in Smdll-siZed crates.
Shipped in this way they will go to
New York in better condition than
strawberries generally do, and will
bring fine prices. Let some of our
growers try this.-W. f. Massey IIor-
ticulturist, n. c. Ayr Expt. Station.

THE GRAPE CROP OF 1892.
Some Important Information to Grape
Growers

AT this date-June 15-it is evident
that the careful and progressive grape
growers of North Carolina are going
to gather one of the heaviest crops
obtained in recent years. Those who
have disinfected and sprayed their
vineyards have scarcely any rot; those
who have neglected these precautions
will harvest very little sound fruit ex-
cept Ives. Concord in unsprayed
vineyards is rotting badly and in
many localities threatens Il total loss.
Since a good knapsack sprayer,
which will last five years, can now be
bought for Sl0.23 and copper sulphate
costs but four cents Il pound. it is the
most short-sightcd and expensive
economy to suffer the fung0rOus enc
mics of the grape to spread unmolest-
ed in our vineyards. The loss on one
single acre of COncordS this year will
be more than the entire cost OF the
sprayer and spraying ten acres of
vines.
On account of the general failure of
the peach and plum crops this year,
caused by the late spring froStS. those
who have good clean grapes will prob
ably realize very satisfactory prices.
a word of caution may be necessary
to those who have sprayed with the
Bordeaux Mixture. If any of the
powder adherCS to the fruit or stems.
before packing place the bunchcs in q
sieve and dip them into tub contain
| ing 80 parts pure water and 10 parts
| of vinegar. The vinegar will dissolve
| the powder. Afterwards dip the
! fruit into pure water to wash of the
vinegar. Fruit showing any of the
spraying mixture ON berries or stems
cannot be sold at profitable price ON

A PuIsing Paragraph.
From the Atlanta constitutional

The society column in our Georgia
newspapers is work of art and a
thing of beauty, but North Carolina is
pushing us closely. Here is a match
less paragraph from the Vance Far
mer, a paper published at Henderson,
n. c.:
''Miss Rosa b. Gill, who has been
dispensing those cleaning attractions
and fond delights which break in en-
trancing ripples of sweetest witchery
upon the heart. and start its pulsings
out in waves of rapturous dreaming left
home last Thursday for eastern Caro-
lima to visit her uncle, Mr.. j. II. Gill.
She is maid indeed of grandest mold,
for a thousand charms she doth un-
fold andndrowns all hearts in that
sweet spell. where purest, fondest
raptures dwell"
Now, snch a paragraph has body,
life, light and color. 1t is practical
and yet picturesque and rhythmical.
1t is a picture, a poem, a symphony.
There is no telling what the future
has in store for the society column.

Three Men Of Executive7AbiIit

From Speech by Ex-Secretary Whitney.]
No one man can do it alone, but if I
were asked to name half a dozen men
in this party who could fill the Office
of chairman of this committee accep-
tably and execute its dnties satisfac-
torily, would name three men, and
those are the three men who have
preceded me-Messrs. Brice, Gorrlan
and Ransom. My personal friendships
for these three gentlemen dominate
all political considerations in my
mind. Icherish them as the dearest
things in personal affections which
grow up between men standing to-
gether for common cause, and

report

Another Confederate Monument.

From the Baltimore Sum-
The ladies of Raleigh, n. c.. have
undertaken to build a monument in
that city in memory of the Confeder-
ate dead of that State. To this end
the North Carolina Monument Asso-
citation has been organized, with the
following officers: Mrs. Armistead
Jones, president: Miss Maggie Cowper,
secretary: Hon.. Donald Balm, treas
urer. The plan of organization sets
forth that a lady manager be appoint
ed for each county, and that said
county will furnish money sufficient
to buy block of granite, on which
will be inscribed the name of the
county and the number of soldiers
lost. 1t is suggested that ten cents
be the admission fee, so that every
man, woman and child in North Car
olina interested in the cause may join
the Association. There were no bet
ter soldiers in the Confederate service
than those from North Carolina, and
there should be no difficulty in quick
ly obtaining the necessary money for
the erection of Il suitable monument
to commemorate the heroism of those
other sons who lost their lives in the
service. The selection of the capital
city of the State as the site for the
proposed monument is altogether
proper.

Why the Democratic Party Grows
Great.
From the Erie Herald.1

Congressman Wilson, of West Nir-
ginia, said in his notification address
at Madison Square Garden: ''The du-
ty of the Democratic party commits
it to never-ending warfare with the
strongest and most enduring forces of
human nature-the lust of power and
the lust of greed" This is great
truth and cannot be too strongly inn
pressed on the minds of the people.
1t explains the wonderful vitality of
the Democratic party. There has
never been time in the history of
our government that the people did
not need-and they need it now more
than ever-protection from the lust
of power and the lust of greed.

Madame Anderson's glass blowers
and electrical exhibition company ar
rived here yesterday from Uniont0wD.
and are making preparations for their
opening at Belvedere Hall tomorrow
night. The Altoona Tribune says: The
exhibitions which have for the past
week been given in the Woodcock
Block by Madame Anderson and glass
blowers are in many respects marvel
Gus. There are FIVE stands at which
the glass blowers work, and movements
Of the blowers are closely watched.
Madame Anderson is especially skill
full in the manipulation Of the glass
and the specimens Of her handwork
souvenirs are beautiful When Tn
bune reporter stopped ct the exhibition
yesterday the lady was spinning glass
into strands as fine as fleece. They
are made Of woven glass and are as
pliable as any dress goods. It is the
only known one Of the kind in the
United States. The Electric Moter is
also curiosity.
The electrical exhibition given by
Prof. Anderson is well worth seeing.
There Is the perfect model Of the Cor
less engine, complete in all its parts
and made of glass. The first glass
engine made over thirty-fve years ago
now occupies place in the Cooper In
stitute, New York, and this one now
on exhibition here is a vast improve
ment over it. The Electric Engine
which is by the Corless is also great
attraction and as for the Brass Band
it is certainly immense: Would that
all bands played as well. The entire
exhibition is well worth going to see.
The company is composed Of Madame
Anderson, Prof. Anderson, P. Dufor,
Prof. Fielder, j. Tice, M. H. Welshand.
