fail and wobble about in out-of-the-way
corners of the room and fall over furni-

ridiculous. For example, in the ladies'

MOI for they are scattered about the

tesque antics form part of every measure

dignified are futile and the performance

Epidemic Checked by " az"

Grip is here again but it is here in
much milder form than it was in 1889
and 1890. when it counted its dead by
the thousands on both sides of the At

The malady has been prevalent for
perhaps a month, but it is only within
the last few days that it has been
recognized as our dread visitor from
Russia, who came in December, 1889.
AT first the doctors passed the cases
off as colds. but they have found them
so stubborn and unyielding to treat
ment that they now are taking the
more serious view.

CYRUS B. WATSON.

Mr.. Cyrus B. Watson, the nominee of
the Democratic party of North Caro-
lima for Governor, has been among us,
and shown those of us who did not
know before what manner of man he
is To say that we like him would
be merely threshing old straw.
Mr.Watson is not typical American.
He is better than the average, and
therefore nottypical. He might be call
ed an ideal typical American if that
were allowed. In ability he is a leader;
i'm honesty and manliness he is SUI
perb. He is no politician and does
not stoop to the tricks of that pro-
fession. He is direct and sincere. He
says nothing which he does not sim
cerely believe, and thus adds force to
his statement. He is true to his peo-
pie, that is, true to what he believes to
he the rights and interests of the ma
iority. He is against, with his whole
soul, and inequality which the law
tolerates. The son of toll, he defends
the rights and the dignity of labor.
! UNFOLDING the right and the true, he
despises the sham and the pretense.
Modest, he forgets self; ambitious, it is
for principle, not for self. Capable,
he is feared; true, he is loved.
No more fitting man could have been
found anywhere to fill the Chief Execu-
tive chair had the State been searched
from centre to circumference. And
he will be put there if North CAROLYN
jans are true to Monroe

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
A Parasite Which VIII Ruin Our Orch
ards if Suffered to Get Foot-hold
in North Carolina.

To the Editor: The San Jose scale is
playing havoc with fruit trees of all
kinds in several Northern and Western
States. Mr.. Gerald Mccarthy, of the
State Agricultural Station is taking
energetic measures to prevent its in
PRODUCTION or it's establishment
in North Carolina. His efforts should
receive the aid and support of every
person in the State in proportion to
their opportunities.
Nearly everybody can be of help.
As this terrible pest can be intro
duced, not only on regular nursery
stock, but also ON 0taheite or dwarf
orange bushes, fuschias and even
rose bushes and probably on many
others, the ladies can aid in the work.
Examine everything that comes, not
only when received, but regularly af-
forwards as the scale may at first take
two months to be readily detected. AS
it is somewhat chameleon like in its
nature, it is apt, even when full grown,
to be mistaken for a mere roughness
of bark. But close examination will
at once disclose it's presence
The San Jose Scale is of deep gray
color and about the size of a grain of
wheat, if the grain had been crushed
and fattened. As the name imports it
is a scale, one partially overlapping
another till whole boughs, trees and or
chards are sheathed in this gray cere-
ment of death Examined separately
each individual is seen to be of low or
der of life,apparently half vegetable
and half insect. They will remind a
boy more of half-grown doodle"
than IF apythinor else
A wash of strong soap suds, pound
of soap to a gallon of water, is re-
commended to destroy. Kerosene oil
is also good. To burn the infected
tree or shrub is the best of all
Our State is so far believed to be
free, though in AN obscure form it is
even now almost sure to be among us.
At any rate it will be in the near fu-
ture. Let all who like fruit or value
our fruit interests bestir themselves
and stamp out the evil while it is yet
easy and possible.
