CORRESPONDENCE,

SULLr COUNTY WATcHMAN:-Selt
Assumed Leaders called the meeting
to order when Bro. Phantam Catcher
reported as follows:
Whereas, in his unholy and useless
ambition to be great our Editor has
assumed duties not his to perform
and, Whereas, his ambition is more
visionary than the principles he has
just exposed; and, Whereas, the wind
bloweth where it listeth and ye hear
the sound thereof but know not
whence it came nor whittier it goeth,
and so are the antics of our brother;
and, Whereas. he is a most conspic-
uous example Of self-assumed leader
ship; and, Whereas, he should be
taught to render unto Ceasor that
which is Ceasors; and, Whereas, in
losing the distinctiveness of the polly
wog he has not developed the wisdom
of the full grown species; and, Where
as, we cannot understand the object Of
his creation; and, Whereas,-here Bro.
Phantam Catchers stopped to sneeze
when New Idea, who for some time
had shown signs of unrest said: Mr..
President, rise to point Of order.
| seriously doubt the jurisdiction OF
this meeting, and I move you sir, that
the Secretary be instructed to forward
to the Supreme Court of SulIy County
report of our proceedings and Of the
offensive articles for their adjudication.
They have just over ruled the Supreme
Court Of the State and | believe will
meet out ample and speedy chastize-
ment to the offending brother. The
Onlda Journal Is our organ and the
offender our chosen editor.
He must not be allowed TO describe
our principles as so many "hobbies,
vagaries and New ldeas," and our
leaders as "selfish, mullsh and self
assumed" If our Polly er, our Editor,
continues to denounce labor organ;z-
ations in general and ours in particular,
and TO enlogize the Republicans as he
has done in the article referred to,
shall withdraw my support and stock
and invest it in four legged stock.
Insubordination of our local editors
is becoming alarmingly frequent.
Another subordinate editor has just
written the following:
''It splits itself into tooth picks over
far-away abstract theories. 1t has IN
it's ranks frauds and enemies. 1t cries
against monopolies, yet would create
greater ones. 1t wars against debt
and would make every man a borrow
er." Mr.. President such editors are
exposing our hobbies and vagaries more
effectively than our enemies can do.
| renew my motion. Ferment And
Foam moved to amend ny submitting
the whole to our beloved Bro, Judge
Loucks. The motion carried when
Bring The Millennium said the man
was in and be had two letters address
ed to Secretary Phantas Magoria. The
hour being late the meeting adjourned
for one week. G. T. ELY.

an orange grove of Southern California
became convinced of the fact. This
orange grove is on the Santa Anita
ranch in Los Angeles county. 1t was
large grove originally, all of Tahiti sweet
seedlings. A few years ago the tops OF
portion of the trees we're cut off and the
stumps were budded over to Washington
navels. AS soon as these budded trees
came into bearing scattered fruit having
the characteristic navel began to appear
upon the adjacent rows of seeding trees.
My attention was called to the fact by
workman, and upon examination found
number OF oranges so marked upon the
first three rows Of seedlings, but found
only one specimen in the rest of the or
chard. | was assured that the phenom-
enon had appeared for the first time the
year before, when the navels came into
material bearing. and it was matter OF
common remark among the orange pick
ers of this period. The texture of the
fruit did not seem changed in the least,
and the navel was superficial and not
penetrating, as in the true navel variety.
! have besides picked several oranges
from navel trees in mixed groves that
had the smooth, unbroken exterior skin
OF the ordinary orange, and contained
in one case one seed, in the other two
seeds.

anything to do with the sporting" of

widely different conditions. Further re-
search may throw more light on the

not properly within the. scope of this
subject my chief object has been to
show the permanency OF results in this
field of labor, and to show that in ORR
ginating new and valuable variety of
fruit you will not only bring pleasure
and profit to yourself and the present
generation, but will hand down to pos
terity legacy rich in itself, but richer
still in possibilities.

A PrncticaI ,JoIse.

The British sense of humor frequently
finds it's expression in practical jokes,
and the young .'scion of the aristocracy"
enjoys with artless glee species of fun
that an American would feel was adapt
ed only for schoolboys. The following
playful manifestation is reported from
over the water as having recently oc-
Cured in we'll known country house.
A pompous and very dignifed member
of the government arrived at friends
house where he was due for a weeks
visit, and was met at the door by tall
footman whose familiar and impudent
greeting Immediately aroused the ire OF
the old gentleman. He mentally re-
solved to report the fellows insolence to
his master.
What was his surprise and horror,
however, when the servant, assuming
the attitude of prize fighter about to
begin operations. danced around him,
intercepting his movements at every
turn. ''Is the man mad?" thought the
startled statesman; surely he has taken
leave of his senses" In vain he spoke
soothingly to the supposed maniac; the
creature, who was of huge proportions,
circled threateningly around him, and
it was only after a few minutes of really
uncomfortable anxiety that the indig-
nant guest found himself the victim OF
little practical joke on the part Of the
eldest son Of his host. New York Trib-

CRISP AS AN ACTOR.
Something About the Early Life of the
New Speaker.

something ABOUT the Early Lie OF the
New Speaker.
There are few people here who re-
member when Judge Crisp was resi-
dent of Savannah. 1t was away back
in his youth. At that time the rear
portion of the theatre building was used
partly as a residence. There it was
that the Crisps lived. In those days

company. In each city of any import
was to be found. They had the most
extensive repertories, identified their
interests with the town in which they
were situated and lived far differently
from the sons and daughters of Thespia
OF today.
The Crisps, father and mother OF
Judge Crisp, were prominent members
OF this company. Charles was also con-
night, if local tradition does not belle
glanced down over multitude of faces
Of Savannanians. What he played in
and the characters he 80 ably portrayed
for, of course, the Judge was as good
an actor then as he has since
become a lawyer and statesman
are not remembered now. Some
day. perhaps, some old bills will
be resurrected and the world will
learn more of those days when the
young actor, devoted to the art of which
his parents were such worthy exemplars,
thought of nothing but possible fame
and fortune derived from its pursuit, and
saw not nor ever dreamed of the succe ss
that awaited him in field far remote
from that along whose avenues fancy
led him.
No matter whether he affected tragedy
or essayed the lighter but equally diff
cult roles of pure comedy, it is certain
that the young Crisp threw himself
into his parts with his whole soul.
He is not man who does things by
halves. By him now may we not judge
the youth just verging on manhood?
Success came to him through earnest,
concientious endeavor in the law and
politics. The foundations for that sue
cess were undoubtedly laid when in his
early life he trod the boards of the Sa-
vannah theater, and was taught by his
painstaking parents the absolute neces-
sity of unceasing application if he de-
sired to rise above mediocrity.
From the Savannah theater to the
speakers chair! Whether he be seated
or not, Charles F. Crisp has the salts
faction Of knowing that he has followed
we'll the advice OF Pope and acted well
his part.
Speaker Crisp's brother, Henry Crisp,
who was one of the most promising
actors on the American stage, died about
ten years ago after brief illness. He
played number of engagements with
first-cass companies in Baltimore and
was a great favorite with the theater
goers of that city. One of his latest
parts was Ned Singleton in My Partner,
in which play Louis Aldrich was the
star. Henry Crisp was at one time
member of John 7. Ford's company in
Baltimore Savannah Press.

port that the iron firm of King. Gilbert &
Warner. who have three furnaces at Mid

of 10 per cent as q result of the election,
and that they had orders for millions of
tons OF steel coun fernandez since Tuesday.
Mr.. Gilbert, president of the company,
says the report is wholly unanthor-

allowed in this country at less price
than they can be manufactured here the
men In business in this country would have
to either quit or the workmen work for less

tracts and orders for steel had been conn
