A "funny" man went into the Lower

Laymen and Preachers.

All the men who do good preaching
in the Methodist church are not d. DIS.
and all do not have to their names the
prefix REV" Mr.. James E. Scheduled
of this city is such a preacher and a
most remarkable man he is.
Mr.. Schoolfield has been citizen of
Danville for nearly quarter of a cen
tury, and has ever occupied a promi-
nent position as business man, being
for that length of time, and now, the
senior member of one of the largest
mercantile establishments of this city,
and is connected with other important
business enterprises, notably the cotton
mills. In business he has been success
full, and has acquired handsome COM
potency. He is member of the Main
street Methodist Episcopal church, and
has filled and now fills important posi-
tions as a layman. A few years ago he
commenced to do evangelical work,
the Lord blessed his. work, and now
having turned his business affairs over
to the care of his partners, Mr. School
field devotes his entire time to preach
ing the word of the Most High.
For the past two years he has been
almost constantly engaged in revival
work, and has conducted meetings in
various pdrUS OF UnlS state ana IN Une
border section of North Carolina, in all
of which his labors have been signally
blessed. All the time he keeps up his
obligations as a layman, performing,
as before he commenced preaching, all
his duties assigned him and is regular
ly assessed for the support of his church
as other laymen are.
His style Of preaching may be sum
med up in the two words simplicity
and earnestness, and it goes straight to
the hearts and the understanding of
his hearers.
Mr.. Scheduled steadfastly refuses to
accept remuneration for his services
and in this respect differs from any
preachers of our knowledge. r.
The facts taken IN connection with
the purity of his private life and the
fact that his whole heart is in the work
make him man of great power before
the people. Mr.. Schoolfield has en-
gagements to conduct revivals that
will occupy his time for many months
to come.--DanoiUe Register.

Treatment of Orchards.
BY Our Agricultural Editor.


Common experience and observation
prove that orchards, to be profitable,
require good and careful treatment. 1t
is a we'll established proposition that
no orchard kept in grass will flourish.
The land must be cultivated, or at
least ploughed once every year or two,
or the trees will begin to decay and
cease to bear much fruit. 1t is also a
rule, almost as we'll established as the
other, that any sort of small grain is
detrimental to an orchard.
The soil of an orchard needs to be
kept open and friable. The sun light
and heat must reach the ground, and
weeds and sowed crops must not be al
lowed to impede the free circulation OF
the air All sowed crops, therefore
oats, rye, wheat, clover, grass, are not
suitable for an orchard, though some
of these may occasionally be permit
ted. But no permanent crop, like
grass or clover, should be cultivated in
an orchard.
Such crops as trucks, sweet and Irish
potatoes, and beans, or pease in hills,
are best suited for cultivation in orch
ards-such things as require to be fire.
quently ploughed during the summer
Indian corn. cotton and tobacco are
suitable for orchard tillage. They
have a clean surface in summer, and
permit the easy gathering up of the
fallen fruit.
An orchard, to thrive well, and beal
much fruit, should be often MANFRED
The trees must have their appropriate
food, and as they draw heavily upon
| the soil, the owner must keep up its
vitality by liberal applications of suit
able manures.
OF all fertilizers for an orchard, none
exceed in efficacy or durability wood
ashes. They supply just the elements
| that fruit trees need, the mineral ele
ments that common soils deal out with
such sparing hand. Keep the soil O.
an orchard fortified with ashes, ant
under cultivation, and the trees will
| flourish and bear much fruit. Or il
they do not, they are not worthy tt
cumber the ground.
AS to pruning, much caution is neces
| sary. One rule may be given: spare
the axe. Much harm is done by too
free use of the axe. Begin when thu
tree is young, and pinch off with the
finger or pocket knife. Never make {
large wound, if you can help it. Plan
| deep at first.

This country has had. as we have
pointed out before, the experience of a
moderate tariff as well as of an eXces
sively high tariff, but 1t has meyer tried
free trade, and there Is no proposition
now before the country that it shall
try it, Between the years 1916 and 1860
the United States had a moderate tar
iff The highest rate of duty during
that period upon any class of manufac
tured goods was 80 per cent and upon
most kinds of cotton goods it was only
% cents If the republican argument
is sound our industries must have suf-
fered severely in that period of low
tariff rates. But what are the facts
shown by the census returns of 1880
and 1860? Under that low tariff, with
rates not more thaD half as high as
those fixed by the Mckinley bill, the
value of all our wooden manufactures
increased over 4a per cent. the number
of hands employed in them increased
49, per cent and the total amount OF
wages paid increased nearly 81 per
cent. Under the same low tariff the
increase in the value of New Eng
lands cotton manufactures was over
81 per cent, while there were % pei
cent more hands employed, and the
total amount of wages paid to the in
creased SO per cent. The manufacture
of hosiery in the same ten years of low
tariff made amazing strides. The val
ue of the hosiery product of New Eng
land alone increased 481 per cent

Sham Knowledge.

1t is easy enough to learn what the gyp-
sizes call the ''patter" of various profess
sions. One can discourse learnedly, on
leaving a concert hall, concerning the
value of the music he has heard, or he
may cTiticise a picture, with the proper
references to ''foreshortening," "high
lights" "middle distance" and the rest
of it.
SIT is fine poem-yes, a very fine
pcem," said would be critical friend to
an author, ''but you will excuse me for
saying I don't think you have a perfect
understanding of the sonnet form. The
pause hardly comes in the right place"
The author bowed and smiled merrily,
and afterward a common friend said to
him:
''You seem to take criticism very
cheerfully."
''Bless you," said he, "that isn't criti-
cism, but it amuTes Tom to deliver it..
The poem he was talking about isn't a
sonnet at all. 1t has 10 lines"
Agassiz was once asked what he
thought of an attack made on his scien-
lluC pOSltlou ny d CSi IdlIl SCuoidl duu
thinker who had book knowledge of
the different theories advocated by the
representatives of science, and decided
that Agassiz must be ranked in the sec
ond or third class. He burst into roar
of laughter.

The Present Marine Engines of War VIII
Furnish the Model.

Furnish the Model.
The battleship of the future will,
like all human contrivances. be of
gradual growth, resulting from the
adaptation to her use of improvements
and discoveries in many branches of
science. Under the crucial test of war
1t may be found that many mistakes
have been made. If l should venture to
point out one of these, it would be the
multiplicity of devices which every
branch of physical science has contrib
uted to overcrowd our ships. Not that
they do not admirably serve their pur-
pose, but fear that we, as sailors, are
growing to rely upon them and will be
lost when the rude shock of battle
breaks our electric wires and disar-
ranges the delicate machinery upon
which we now depend in thousand
ways.
In the main, however, venture to
think that the battleship of today has
a sound reason for all her principal
features, and the type will persist. The
stability will continue to be carefully
protected by vertical arinor Many of
the accidents, both in battle and in
times of peace, to which great ships are
liable, will be diminished by the adop-
ton of liquid fuel The main battery
will be mounted in turrets furnishing
complete protection to the guns, and as
far as possible to the machinery for
their manipulation, and fer the supply
of ammunition. The secondary battery
will be protected in proportion to its
Importance, while every gun position,
with its crew, will be protected against
machine and rapid gun fire. The time
will never come when we shall cease
to demand higher requirements in the
battleship. Fortunately, all require
ments are interchangeable.
Armor may be substituted for guns,
guns for fuel, so that the saving in one
direction may at once be utilized in
another. The advent of hard surfaced
armor will demand that the caliber of
the main battery be maintained, for
until projectiles of greater strength can
be produced, the only way to overcome
Harvey armor is to crush it with an
overwhelming blow. In addition to
this it will undoubtedly be found that
all armor under the constantly varying
angles of impact in battle will furnish
greater protection than is considered
possible when judged by the result of
normal impact ON the proving ground.
For this reason again, the larger ca1iber
of the gun must be maintained, and
this, in its turn, determines the great
size of the battleship of the future,
subject to the restrictions which have
been indicated. Wv. T. Sampson, Cap
tain United States Navy in North
American Review.

The Innocent Car Driver.

This conversation was overheard on
the front platform of a horse car be-
tween very tipsy passenger and the
driver. The passenger was unsteady and
chatty, and the driver wearied of his
prattle.
''Oh, don't talk to me" said the driver
finally. Il want to tend to business"
"'Scuse me, boss, "mumbled the chatty
passenger, trife humbly. and then alb
ruptly, after a moments reflection, as
having struck a happy thought, "Wha'

"Well, l don't drink water" replied
the driver, without relaxing in severity,
''Beer!'
81 didn't say So"
"Well, here, have somethin wi me-"
and the inebriate, who had been saved
by the driver half dozen times from
pitching over the dashboard, handed
some small change to the driver and
jumped off the car, promising to wait at
the corner till the driver returned. The
driver turned to the reporter, who
