A CHARGE or LARCENY.

Monday there was trial before
Justice 6. A. Barbee that attracted
considerable attention owing to the
amount of goods missing. For some
time the Commonwealth Knitting Mill
has been short in goods and was una
bic to account for the shortage.
The matter was brought to the at
tentfon of the police force, and Mr.. w.
@. Crabtree, who is always on the
alert to catch up with evil-doers, went
to work to discover the cause of this
shortage. 1T was not long before he
found where socks, with the Common
wealth label on them, were being sold
by parties without license to peddle
goods. This raised a suspicion, and
upon following up the trail the crook
edness was soon discovered.
A warrant was issued against bu-
gene BOYD and Will Flinton, charging
them with larceny. Upon investiga-
ton Justice Barbee decided to bind
Boyd, who is 81 years old, over to
court in a bond Of $500. Flinton is Il
years old, and was required to give a
bond of $50. Flinton succeeded in
giving bail; Boyd is in Jail.
This was doubtless deep laid
scheme to Systematically rob the
Commonwealth mill, and ii the matter
is thoroughly investigated others VIII
be called upon to answer serious
charges.

4 SERIES OF MEETINGS.

Tn accordance with previous an-
ro,mcenent, a series of meetings were
begun in Trinity church Sunday. Al
the II o'clock service Rev. John n. Cole
preached to a large congregation OF
1,eople. after which the Lords Supper
was administered.
Sunday night the service was open
ed at 7:15 o'clock by Capt. d. j. Par
rish.
The attendance upon this meeting
was unusually large, and Capt. Parrish
led in an earnest, feryent appeal to
Gods people to come UP to full meas
ure of their duty.
When the services opened in church
every pew was occupied, and many
chairs had to be placed i'm the aisles.
Rev. Mr. Cole, always earnest, jealous
and practical, preached one of his best
sermons. and it was listened to with
marked attention. Everybody seemed
interested, and the large congregation
evidently left the church with pro-
found impression.
DIR. w. S. Greasy came in from Win
ston at o'clock Monday evening, and
was warmly welcomed by quite a del
cation. At o'clock Monday night
he preached to crowded church, ana
when Trinity is crowded large num-
Der of people are in attendance.
Dr. Greasy took for his text, There
is JOY in heaven among the angels over
one sinner that repenteth." He drew
from the subject many comforting les
sons. 1t was a sweet gospel sermon.
Not many years ago DIR. Greasy was
the beloved pastor of Trinity, and he
entwined himself in the affections of
the Durham people as. few have ever
done, or ever can do. As his melodious
voice rang out in Trinity Monday night
tears were seen to triclxle down the
cheeks of many of his former member
ship.
Miss Annie Peay presides at the or
gam and a'choir of twenty or twenty
five voices furnished soul-stirring mu-
sic.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY ASSURED.

From the very beginning Durham
citizens have manifested much inter-
est in the proposition to establish a
public library in Durham and as the
movement rolls on it gains power and
is destined to sweep everything before
it,
Be it remembered, however, it takes
no pressure to induce Durham people
to invest their money in public lib
rary. They recognize its true value,
and are always ready to put their
money where it will accomplish the
greatest good to the greatest number.
I'm the First National Bank at four
o'clock last Saturday evening the
Board of Trustees met and organized
by the election of Col. Julian S. Carr,
chairman, and Mr. I'll. A. Foushee, Sec
rotary. After consultation it was most
appropriately decided to call it the
Durham Public Library"
In order to perfect this movement a
committee consisting of r. w. Win
ston, J. Fl. Southgate, G. w. Toms, L.
II. Fuller and w. A. Erwin was chosen
to secure letters of incorporation and
to prepare a constitution and bylaws
for it's government.
It is in contemplation, not only to
have a library, but to have home for
that library. In view of this fact a
building committee was appointed
consisting of Mr.. Geo. w. Watts, Rev.
L. b. TurnbulI and Capt. e. J. Parrish.
Col. Julian S. Carr, who had been
made chairman Of the Board Of Trus-
tees, was made chairman of these two
committees.
Monday evening a most enthusiastic
meeting of the committee was held.
Al committee of ladies was in atten-
dance.
Let it be understood that at an early
day Durham will have public library
in building owned and controlled by
the public library. There is no doubt
upon this question.

Feeding the Orchard Tree,

Professor E. B. Voorhees, says:
The relation of fruit growing to soil
exhaustion is different from that in
general crop farming, because in or
chards there is an annual demand for
specific kinds and proportions of soil
constituents. 1t is rarely a continu-
GUS cropping of the same kind. There
is no opportunity to correct the ten
dency to exhaustion by a frequent
change of crops or the growth of
those which require different kinds
and amounts of plant food constitu-
ents. In manuring orchards it must
be admitted that the general princi-
pies of manuring apply as well to the
farm crops as to fruits; i. e., the es-
sential constituents of manures must
be the same. That nitrogen encour-

ages leaf growth is a recognized fact,
and, since trees grow by both leaf
and root, it's presence is required in
the soil. Tt is very evident, too, that
potash is an essential constituent in
the growth of fruits, not only because
it forms large proportion of the
ash of the wood and more than so
per cent of the ash of the fruit, but
because it forms the base of the we'll
known fruit acids.
To nourish a tree properly, as well
as to insure proper ripening, phos-
phoric acid is also essential. Lime,
in the production of stone fruits par
ticularly, is an important constitu-
ent. It's function seems to be to
strengthen the stems and woody por-
ton of the tree, to shorten the peri
or of growth and to hasten the time
of ripening. 1t is argued by many
that fruit growing is quite similar to
growing trees, and that the question
of soil exhaustion is not a matter of
great Importance. 1t is admitted
that on soils of good mechanical con-
dition, well drained and cultivated,
the exhaustion will not become APP
parent for a long time, but it is only
on soils we'll supplied with the essen
;o7 fhot no Of
fruit can be continued without ma
nures.
While we have evidence of the need
of manures for orchards, [ desire to
presentfur evidence derived from
experiments and from actual prac-
tice. The only completed experiment
is reported by the New Jersey Expert
1nent Station on peaches. The object
of this experiment was to study the
comparative effect of an annual sup
ply of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash, when used singly and in COM
binations; and of large applications
of barnyard manure. The first point
observed is in reference to the num-
Der of crops secured; after the trees
on unmanured land had ceased to
bear, the trees on MANFRED and fer
tilted land bore crops greater pro-
portionately than those secured pre-
vious to that time. In the next place
it is shown that the yield is material
ly increased by the use Of manures
and that differences between artifi-
cial and natural supplies are very
slight. In the third place (and it is
fact of great importance), it is inter
esting to observe the effect of an
abundance of food in overcoming I'M
favorable weather and seasonal con-
ditions. The manure strengthened
and stimulated the trees and enabled
them to successfully resist condi-
tions fatal to the crop of the unma-
nured land. This point is one that is
seldom considered, though it is of
extreme value.

To Exterminate Poison Oak.

The following from the United
States Agricultural Department has
reference to the Eastern pest poison
ivy, but is just as applicable to poi
son oak. To exterminate poison ivy
where blowing and cultivation are
impracticable, two general efficient
methods remain for killing the root
stocks from which the plants are
chiefly propagated. The rootstocks
may be starved or exhausted by per-
sistently preventing any growth of
the plants above ground. Grabbing
or spudding about twice each month
during the growing season will &C
complish this result. It would prob
ably require two or three years to
completely eradicate the plants, but
. as they would be decreasing in num-
bers, itwould require very little work
after the first year. Cutting the
plants below the surface of the
ground with a spud is probably SAT-
er than grubbing with grub-hoe, as
one is less likely to come in contact
with them, and it is quite as effective
as any attempt to dig out the roots.
The second method is to kill the root
stocks by the application of sub
stances that will destroy them.
Strong brine or kerosene applied re-
peated at intervals of three or four
days will kill the plants, but it will
probably require several applications.
Sulphuric or carbolic acid will ac-
complishthe result much more quick
ly. AS sulphuric acid is very corro-
sive it must be handled in glass bot
ties and care must be exercised to
keep it from getting on the clothing
or person. Carbolic acid is less dan
gerous to handle and is nearly as eff
fective as sulphuric acid. 1t may be
applied with an ordinary machine oil
can or a garden watering pot. The
cheaper unrefned acids may be used
either alone as they are obtained or
diluted with water. [ would not ad-
wise adding more than one-third wat
er. If carbolic acid is used without
diluting half teaspoonful applied to
each plant will be sufficient to kill it.
The patch should be watched for
some time for shoots that may escape
the first application of the acid. To
prevent being poisoned one should
wash thoroughly as soon as possible
after working with the poison ivy
Ivy poisoning has recently been dis
covered to be caused by a non-vola-
tile oil which is produced in two or
three different species of rhus. The
best remedy thus far known is to
wash the poisoned surface with an
alcoholic solution of sugar of lead
