A Industry That Is Gradually Receiving
More Intelligent Attention.
In looking over the southern agri-
cultural papers IT Is quite noticeable
that more and more attention il being
eiven to dairying. The possibility OF
successful dairying in the south Is no
longer q question since modern appli.
ances and better methods in the manu-.
featuring and handling of dairy prod.
ucts have changed the order OF
many things. With the latest sp-
plianees, temperature becomes q
less important factor. Quite re-
Gently i noticed the theory
put forth that the moist air OF the
south has same advantages over the
drier air Of the north which in a meas
ure overcomes the latter's advantage
of a lower temperature. The boun-
daries of the dairy district seems to be
widening every year and it will not he
long before the south will be in no
mean place in the dairy progress Tho
low price of cotton. the failure of souis
of the fruit crops. and general ten
dency to more diversified farming are
some of the factors in this movement.

the grass and weeds as other varieties
The Bunch Yam stands drought we'll;
it's vines can be easily moved for hay,
and its keeping qualities are good.
Considering the novelty of the variety
and some good qualities it has, agri-
culturists should give it trial.
The varieties of the sweet potato are
marked and many, though there are not
nearly so many varieties as names.
The Louisiana state experiment sta
ton, at Baton Rouge, gives thirty-six
different varieties. Many of these have
not marked difference. Climate and
soil have much to do with varieties. A
careful comparison and discrimination
would greatly reduce the number
Varieties differ from each other in
shape, size and color of the leaves aud
roots, color and nature Of vine and
foliage, eating and skeeping qualities
of the roots, and prod. ..veness and
habits of growing. The average farm

ing qualities of the potatoes. have
presented above such varieties as l
thought would be of general interest.
1t is hard to discuss such subject
without being tedious. l shall there
fore ask the amateur to excuse me.
The sweet potato yields from 100 to
400 bushels per acre ordinarily, depend
ing upon the soil, climate, cultivation
and the variety, and is best suited to a
good sandy clay loan. This is per-
haps the favorite vegetable of the
south, being grown in every family gar
den, whether he be rich or poor. white
or black. Though widely grown in
southern estates, there are few south
erners who know anything of the diff
ferent varieties Of the sweet potato.

which would follow their labors in the
erection of the capitol building which
adorns this wonderful city. Every
human being on earth is fulfilling his
functions in narrow sphere, but they
do not realize that they are carrying
out infnitesimal parts of the work
which has been planned by the Su-
preme Architect of the universe. And
SO the men and women who partici.
pated in the laying of the corner stone
OF the District of Columbia realized but
family that they were aiding in the ac-
complishment Of a work which shall
last forever. It was not given unto
them to dip into the future and see the
wonders of the new world, and view
with prophetic vision the capital city
of a republic which should be the parlia-
mcnt of mankind.
The corner stone was set at the origi-
nal point of survey, and the place
was selected by that experienced
civil engineer and surveyor, George
Washington. 1t is singular
fact that when the location of the
corner stone was selected by Gen.
Washington it was outside the limits Of
the district, as described in the act of
congress authorizing President Wash
ington to choose location for the per-
manent seat Of government~ This act,
which became a law July 16, 1890, gave
the president power to select a site any
where along the Maryland o. eastseSr2
side of the Potomac river between the
mouth of the eastern branch and the
Conococheague, the latter being a
stream which enters the Potomac at
Wlliamsport, Md, not far from Hagers-
town.
Every man in this country has more
or less state pride, and George Wash
ington was proud of Virginia. There
can be no doubt that he expected that
che national capitol would be builded
.argely in Virginia; and that he in

It is not generally known but it is
fact that grave and solemn ceremonies
marked the laying of the corner stone
of the District of Columbia more thana
century ago. Thee participants were
men who but vaguely realized the i'm
portance and significance of their
Iabors. They did not philosophize from
cause to effect nor in any sense realize
the fact that every man is the intelli-
gent artifcer of portion of a wonder
full work which is not his own. Even
the surveyors, the stone workers, the
master mechanics, the hod carriers, and
all others who performed their various
functions with intelligence and skill,
had no idea of the architectural result

the profession. It has been said that
all things come to him who waits, but
unless you tip the colored waiter lib
orally he is sure to be slow in coming
with the things.
l have never witnessed but one in.
stance of any abnormal admiration for
the colored race on the part of the
white population. It occurred on an
open car on Third avenue last summer.
The car was crowded, but a colored
woman whose size suggested a load OF
hay insisted on showing herself into the
car, instead of waiting for the next one.
An elegantly-dressed white lady, with
two little girls by her side, insisted
that her two children give up their
seats to the 50 ''colored lady," who
promptly took the seat without word
of thanks. The two tired children
stood up for three miles, while their
mother INDUCED in small talk with her
dusky acquaintance. / noticed that
the features of the rest of the passeu.
gers were wreathed with scorn, and
some even indulged in audible comment
that was far from flattering to the ma
terna1 instinct of the accommodating
party. ALEX. E. SWEET.

away from the business part of the

within few miles of his home at Mount

he reached the conclusion that portion

the city of Alexandria, ought to be

While there are not as many negroes
IN New York as there are in Washing

numerous, for you see them every

pallY in two localities. On the west
side, Thompson street is the great
negro center, while on the east side
there is another large colored colony up
in Harlem in the vicinity of One Hun

COMPANY ID PROTESTS.
Action Rcpudiated in Asking for
Outside Officers.

There was q spirited meeting OF
Company ID last night. An item
in one OF the afternoon papers stat
ing that no election of officers
would be held caused some misun-
derstanding, as it was generally
believed such was to have taken
place. 1t was finally ascertained
that no election would be held, and
other business was proceeded with.
T. p. SEVERN read a resolution
in connection with the request to
Lieutenant w. L. Wall, OF the
Sharpshooters, to be n candidate
for first lieutenant Of Company D..
After citing the resolution adopted
by the Sharpshooters, the document
viewed with establishment and in
dignation that Company ID found
itself in the position OF suppliant
for leadership. Also that the recent
suggestion for lieutenant of Com
pany ID was without warrant, no
action OF the kind having been
taken by the company. Aloha was
expressed for the Sharpshooters,
and the stand taken in refusing to
part with Lieutenant Wall.
The resolution was adopted and
the meeting adjourned.
