BLIGHT ON FRUIT TREES.
Communication from Commissioner o
AO-icultnr Vhitehead I

Communication from Commissioner Of
AgTicultur Whitehead.
On May 18th, received a letter from
Mr.. Jno. Otey OF BInns Hall, Charles
City county, enclosing specimens of his
pear and apple trees which had been
attacked and seriously damaged by some
blight. Mr.. Otey requested that the
nature of the blight be examined into
and that preventive and remedial meas-
ures be suggested.
The letter was referred to the U. s..
Department of Agriculture, and the
following letter of May Goth, was received
which is made public for the benefit of
the fruit growers of this State.
United States Department of
Agriculture, Division of Vege-
table pathology,
Washington, D. C. May Goth, 1925.
Mr.. Thomas Whitehead,
Commissioner of Agriculture,
Richmond, Va.
Dear Sir:
Mr.. L. C.. Howard has referred to me
your letter of May 18th, together with
that of the gentleman from BInns Hall,
and specimens of his pear and apple
tree. We have examined the twigs and
find that the trees are affected with pear
blight. This disease is caused By very
minute microbe. which enters the tree
at the blossom cluster or at the tip of the
tender growing shoot. The disease may
destroy only the blossom cluster or a
few inches of the twig, or it may run
downward several feet, killing large
limbs or the whole tree. The same
microbe causes pear blight, apple twig
blight, aud ounce bligh, Most of the
damage from this blight is done during
the first month of growth from blossom
time on. Apple twig blighthoweyer, Is
is often bad in July. The blossom after
running downward for few inches OF
foot usually comes to . standstill, when
the disease has stopped a definite crack
forms in the bark, separating the live
and dead portions. When the diseased
part blends off into the live wood it
shows that the disease is still progress
ing, below the bighted portion the tree
may be perfectly healthy. The blight
Kills only as far it reaches, the part below
it being sound.
Healthy. thrifty, rapidly growing trees
suffer more when attacked than those
not 80 vigorous.
In certain cases the blight does not
stop, bat keeps on slowly growing In the
bark till the season closes. Such case 8
continue slowly during the winter and in
this manner the blight nicrobe lives over
winter. The new blight for each year
comes from germs which live over from
the preceding years cases.
The remedy for pear blight is to eI-
terminate the microbe which causes tho
IrOuble. This can be done ty pruning
out the old blight in the fall or winter
aud thus prevent the microbes from liy-
ing over. In mild attacks, where there
is but little blight, aud wherever It is
practicable, it is best to cut out the
blight as soon as 1t is discovered. Com
pete obstruction of the blight should be
carried ont in the fall as soon as all late
growth has ceased. In cutting ont the
blight care should be taken to cut on the
sound wood below the disease.
Very truly,
ALBERT +. WOODS,
Acting Chief of Division.

Tribute of Respect.


MT. JACKSON, Va May 81, 1895.
The Vestry of st. Andrews church,
Beckford Parish, met by reason OF the
death of their beloved Rector, J. 7.
Londoun Hynes, who passed away, May
18th, 1895.
Although he was with them but for a
brief period, he endeared himself TO them
by his conduct. The shining attributes
of bis character, truth, honor, and cour-
age to do good and to resist evil; sincerity
in all relations and fidelity to bis duties;
with mind strv0g and vigorous, which
impelled him to the right and restrained
him from the wrong, and a moral sense
which guided and controlled bis purposes
and his actions, made him truly a faith
fol servant in his Masters service, aud
the records where be labOred verify that
his efforts we're crowned with success.
10 sorrowful sympathy with bis family
bereaved OF . husband and q father, aud
the Parish 10 the loss of pastor,
The Vestry therefore resolve That
they, by the death OF Rev. j. T. l.. Hynes,
are overwhelmed in deep sorrow. and
mourn 1t as a calamity to bis family, his
friends aud this Parish.
That they tender to his family these
expressions Of their affectonate esteem
for him as personal friend as well as a
loving and faithful Pastor, and their
sympa;hy with them 10 their irreparable
bereavement.

Small Pox at Staunton.

While small rOx is still prevailing, the
authorities at stanton have taken every
precaution to suppress the disease
here have been 70 cases, all cOloied
people except three or fOlr and most of
the whites lived 10 the settlement with
the negroes. There have been seven
deaths, aud all cOlorod except one.
Every case has been removed from the
city to the hospital one mile east OF
town except four who are quarantined in
their own homes, aud the buildings
which had been occupied by patient ,
.ixteen in number, have been burned.
OF the 70 cases, about 30 are nov con-
v descent and all the rest are doug well.
there has b sen no nav cases within the
last five days and the disease is thought
to be under control. With the present
quarantine regulations Of Stanton there
IS evidently little or no danger in visiting
that city. The loss, in a business view,
to the citizens of that city must be i'm

BITTER AGAINST WARDENs.
Oshkosh Fishermen Feel Discouraged at
the Outlook.

Oshkosh, Wis, Aug. 15.-[Special] i
Local fishermen are beginning to grow
discoura ged over the outlook For awhile
it looked as though everything was COM

now The first two replevin suits
brought against the deputy fish wardens
were won by the fishermen, but since
then three cases, all exactly alike, have
been decided against them. The first
two cases have also been appealed by the
wardens, and the fishermen begin to fear
that their lawyers are misleading them.
To continue the litiga ton will only in,

are finally decided against them it will
entail an expenditure they can i'll afford
to spare.
Meanwhile the fish patrol yacht Cora
is busy skirting the lake and keeping
a sharp watch for nets and pOachers.
When Game Warden Ellarson was here
Tuesday he announced he would stop net
fishing if he had to appoint dozen depu>
ties and he authorized Chief Deputy
johnson to call for all the help he needs
to enforce the law. Some of the fish,
ermen are in favor of ceasing operations

opposed to this plan as the golden days

OPEN FIRE ON A MOB.
Negroes Gathered at Winston Jail
to Protect One of Their
Color.

Winston, N c.. Aug. IA serious
riot between whites and blacks was mar
rowly ayerted here last night. It was
given out in colored churches during the

made to lynch Arthur Tuttle, a negro
on trial here for the murder of Police

about $50 negroes organized and marched
to the jail, where they remained for sew
eral hours. They were armed with pis-
tolls and guns.
Mayor Gray went to the Jail, assured
the negroes there was no danger of lynch
ing and begged them to dispense. Sheriff
Macarthur and two of Winston's lawyers
also addressed the negroes, assuring them
there was on danger of lynching. Judge
Brown, who is holding court, notified the
negroes that they were violating the law,
telling them that futile should have
fair trial and that he would be responsible
for Tuttle's protection. The negroes said
they would leave if allowed to put
guard of twenty men around the pail.
This was done. but many of the mob
refused to go away. Sheriff Macarthur
then ordered out the Forsythe rifles, be-
sides a number of deputies who were
sworn in. Judge Brown also instructed
the sheriff to arrest those who did not
leave.
The mob began firing on the officers,
several of whom were struck with small
bird shot, but none seriously wounded.
The rifiemen fired several vOlleys into the
crowd, causing the negroes to disperse IN

Mr.. Feeney was ordered to sit down by

he was first arrested last January, was

evening for Sheriff Delaney, the officer
to whom the first was given having gone

reason that the sheriff has not been
seen since the examination began, and
the defense contend he is keeping out
