Planting Peanuts.
The Berry First Brought to Nort1
Carolina 6y Slace Ship.

There is much doubt as to the
original home of the peanut. Some
claim that it is indigenous to Africa,
others that it was native of South
America and was carried by the
earlier explorers of that country to
Spain and thence to Africa The
earliest authentic tradition tells o:
it's appearance in eastern North Caro-
lima, probably brought there by some
of the slave ships landing cargoes
along the coast. The native
Africans recognized and used them.
Peanuts grow upon trailing vine,
with leaves much resembling a small
four.leavsd clover. The small yellow
flower it bears is shaped like the
blossom Of all the pea family indeed,
The agricultural bureau in Washing
does not recognize the peanut as a
nut at all, but class it among beans.
The soil i'll which it is cultivated
must be light and sandy; after
the flower falls away the flower stalk
elongates and becomes rigid. curv-
ing in such a way as to push the
forming pod we'll below the surface
of the earth; if by any accident this
is not done the nut never natures.
They are planted in rows about
three feet apart, and the vines spread
until the ground is covered by them.
Harvesting is done after the first
frost, and the yield is often 100
bushels to the acre, making this a
more profitable crop than wheat or
cotton. The vines, with the nuts
clinging to them, are torn up with
pronged hoes and allowed to dry in
the sun for day or two, and then
stacked to cure. In about a fort
night the nuts are picked off, the
empty ones, which are technically
called "pops," being rejected. This
is done by hand, and is slow work,
as an expert laborer can pick only
three bushels day. They come into
market in a rough, dirty state, unas.
sorted and with vine tendrils cling
ing to the pods.
Eastern Virginia and North Caro-
lima produce all the peanuts con-
sumed in the United States and
Canada. the Blue and Gray.

HEw1rr's CRITICISMS ANSWERED.

The conclusion of Hewitt's speech
was received in silence. The gaunt-
let thus thrown down was Immediate
ly taken up by James LINDSAY Cor
don, young New York lawyer of
Virginian birth. He said:
"With all due Difference to the
opinion of Mr.. Hewitt, I will venture
to say that the men who stand in
Congress to-day from the South are
as true, pure, upright and sincere in
their convictions and as we'll equip
ped both mentally and intellectually,
as any man there from the North.
East or West. 1t is possible-nay,
even probable, that the people of the
North may be unable to comprehend
the influences that mould the senti-
ments of Southern people. Those Of
them who have voted for the silver
bill Lave done so with an eye to the
advancement of their constituents
and the honor Of the country at
large. Nor must it be understood
that Southern craftsmanship is at a
discount to-day. The treasury is
guarded by Southern man, the
great navy of Uncle Sam is under
the direction of Southern states
man: A Southern man is in charge
of tho Inferior Denartment. and a
Southern man presides, with dignity
and ability, over the deliberations of
the House Of Representatives a
Southern man, great pure and spot
less, has been raised to the Supreme
Court bench, and Southern man is
responsible for the new tariff bill.
This is the record Of the men of the
South to-day. They are Southerners;
they are statesmen, but above all
they are American citizens.

A year of CAB, bluff, put up or shut up,
and nine minutss of fighting or "faking." ="
Full particulars of what took place dur
ing the nine minutes will be found In our
telegraphic columns. And We will not be
hypocritieal sbout It either. They will be
found there solely because thousands of
our readers will look for them and be dis
appointed If they do not find them. We
do not want to dIsappoint the large num-
bsr of those who will read the account for
entertainment, the smaller number who
will read it out of curiosity, and the few
who will read 1t to gain more force and
inspiration for condemnation of the i'm
morality and brutality Of prizs-h2hting.
Tho nine. minute fight or fake was an
interesting affair in several ways, but still
more interesting is the fight which has
been going on for long time, and which
resulted in complete knock out for Law
and Order after q good many sharply
fought rounds which had made the contest
uncommonly exciting. The effort to pre-
vent the fight was well directed and skill
full, and there were funds enough back of
1t to keep 1t alive and active. It had
good deal Of sympathy and support and In
it's latest stages WAS aggressive and war
like enough. But 1t collapsed even as
Mitchell did, though it seems to be plain
that Mitohsll's nose was hit fairly, and
there may be some doubt about the way
the ether nose was put out of joint.
Well, those who made the effort to pre-
vent Florida from disgraoing herself and
staining the rest of the country are en-
titled to tho hearty commendstion of all
who take q decent view of humanity, even
If they were not successful. 1t looks as If
they had at least made gain in the mat
ter of public sentiment. Perhaps next
time If they are persistent they may be
able to find some law that can be strained,
if 1t must be, in favor of humanity and
morality, rather than in favor of brutality
and vice. Meanwhile, the main question

To the Editor OF the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The following paper, If not an accurate
translation, may be called . fair reproduo'
ton of the thoughts of a professor Of tbs
Doshishs university at Kyoto, Japan, Mr..
Ukita, who IL studying temporarily ct
Yale. Professor Ukita is nothing unless q
critic, and at times his psn La about a.
sharp as Japanese sword. He sla,hss g
little wild In some of his strokes, especial
ly where he represents horsepower a.
the moral ideal Of the states, and also
where he denies to American women any
high moral ideal. He has, 1t seens TO me,
made the same mistake that 20 many for.
eigners In Japan maks,-oontrasted ones
own ideal with what is largely superficial
in another land. Where 30 many of us
TAIL we must be lenient to our critics. 1t
is only fair to Professor Ukits to say that
had he been writing for Americans to read,
know he would have given Undertaking
ly the actual existing condition Of social
morality here. including suoh facts ~ that
the ratio of divorces to marriages for the
whole empire ~ one to three. And he
might have shown his admiration and re-
spect for his mother and wife without
thanking God so heartily that he is not a.
other men, even as these Americans. Yet
he Distinguishes well between Christianity
and Christians, and he shows the real jap
snsse spirit,-that which has conserved
this nation through all the mistakes and
immorslitiss of past agss-in his earnest
desire that his countrymen may take again
the grand old virtues of loyalty and
righteousness, and apply them to all the
varied aud intricate relations of New Ja-
pan. His parting words have the ring of
his great moral prophet, Asnc!us, who
said: ST like hsar's meat and / like
righteousn.ss. If can't have bears meat
with righteousness will never taste the
meat ]. b. DkFoREsT.
