900 in real estate, tobacco factories or
cotton factories, all the growth Of the
past ten years. 1t is home capital,
not foreign. No other Southern State
can make such a showing"

the Seaboard Air Line is trying to

Broad Valley Railroad for their line

That paper repeats the assertion re
Gently made that a Railroad will he
built to Asheville from Rutherfordton.
1t also predicts that this road will be
equipped and running within two
years.
PERHAPS the youngest man ever
nominated for Mayor of a town in
North Carolina of the size and impor-
lance of Asheville, is Mr.. w. ]. Cooke,
who has just been nominated for that
position by the Democrats of the me-
tropolis of the Blue Ridge. Mr.. Coke
IS but 20 years old and is cashier Of
the National Bank of Asheville. Ev-
idently the people of that progressive
place do not think a man should be
kept back politically, on account of
age, if he possesses the requisite quail
6cations otherwise to commend him.

make for us formidable competitors
The over-the-sea markets appreciate
quality, and if we would hold them we
| must keep our stock up to their stand
ard.
If there are half-dead limbs on the
tree it is right to cut them ouf, but to
lop of limbs right and left, wlich are
healthy but not growing, is going to
cripple the tree severely. If the trees
are not in the natural end of their
growth through age, what they need is
manure and Observation-Disclosures
Farmer.
The majority of farmers keep too
many horses for the work they have to
do too many cows for their dairy pro-
duct too many hogs for the pork they
have to put in the barrel, and too
many hens for the value of the eggs and
poultry they have to sell. Are not these
reasons enough why so many can not
make farming pay? IF they can lessen
the expense of keeping a large stock
and yet get the same product there Will
be profit instead of a loss on all their
farming operations.
The principal injury weeds do to the
growing crop is to rob it of the avail
K.
Weeds feed with especial avidity upon
these, and when they have been taken
up thus they are, of course, no longer
available for the crop. The loss which
results from growing weeds is not theo-
retical-it is real.
DR.. j. P. Brown in American Bee
Journal says: "The bee, when out TO-
raging, never acts on the offensive-al-
ways on the defensive. But when it's
hive is threatened to be disturbed, or it's
stores taken, or when excited by dis
agreeable odors, or by persons standing
in its range of flight, or by striking at
it or pinching it, etc. It's action may be
both defensive and offensive"
In selecting farm the subsoil should
receive due consideration. 1t ought to
be nearly, or quite as rich in mineral
matter as that near the surface If
possible it should have drains of water
running through it. If an impervious
clay, it will need more thorough drain
ing than if mixed with gravel If sand
it will hold nothing, will be easy to ex-
haust and hard to renovate.
The appearance of moss on apple
trees shows that there is excess of water
in the soil, and this occasions lessened
vitality. Washing the trunk with water
in which potash has been dissolved will
remove the moss, but it will come again
unless its cause is removed The land
should be drained for orchards as for
other crops. 1t is by undertaking
that the soil is deepened, so that the
subsoil will hold moisture in shape for
the roots to use. Stagnant water is of
no benefit, and is more often the cause
of moss on trees than any other one
thing.
Practically without exception the ex-
perimentS conducted in a dozen States
by practical men with scientific accu-
racy, have given results in favor OF the
shallow cultivation Of corn as COM
pared with deep cultivation In every
case cutting the roots of the corn re-
duced the yield. The best results are
got by thorough preparation Of the
ground before planting, and after that
stirring the ground to a depth of only
two or three inches-enough to break up
the crust that sun and showers form
on the surface and to root out the
weeds.

The American Voice.

The American voice has won an un-
enviable reputation for it's supposed
dlSagreeable quality. This reputation
is in part deserved, for no careful OBJ
server can fail to notice that many of
our people in ordinary conversation
are constantly in error in regard to
their natural pitch and utterly fail in
purity Of tone. They speak in either too
high or too low key, and the tones are
more or less forced into a disagreeable
mixture of the naSa1-muscular quality
ApologiStS have attributed this defect
to the nervous temperament of the
people and of the disastrous effects of a
variable climate. But the true explain
alton is found in lack of proper train
ing. The American voice, when prop
erly educated, is no less melodious and
agreeable than that of any other ma
tiCnality.
Bad quality of voice is due simply to
bad habit in use. Correct the habit and
the voice is changed, and becomes what
it was designed to be by the Creator. 1t
is amazing that so many young men
spend, after a long period of prepara-
tory training, four years in college and
almost an equal period thereafter in
professional schools and then go to the
pulpit or the bar totally untitled vo-
cally for the successful prosecution of
their life work. And it is even more
amazing that multitudes fitted by their
culture to adorn social life destroy
their chances of success by a lack of vo-
cal training. They might have been
good singers, readers or reciters, but
for their own neglect.
If a correct system of vocal physiol-
ogy and technique were engrafted into
our public school system, there would
be an immense gain to the culture of
the nation. Not all are public speakers
or readers, but everybody talks, and to
converse in a well-modulated, melodi-
Gus voice is an accomplishment worth
striving hard to obtain.-Boston

THE OUTDOOR GIRL.

What II the merry maiden goes a-riding on
the wheel,
And wears a graceful costume that is short
above the heel?
Can anyone gainsay 1t, that though changed
in mode of dress,
Shes OF the gender feminine and not whit
the less?
And Il she dons the bloonner or the knfcker-
booker clothes.
Is not the person just as sweet as any bloom
ing rose?
What IL the college maiden rows a shell or
sculls with oars
Or takes goal in football field or bowls upon
the floor?
Is she any less woman, If her skin is very
brown,
Than when she trailed her skirts in mud and
wore q high-necked gown?
Ana II she boxes out her Toe or fences like a
man.
Lacks she any fascination, whateer her
scheme or plan?
So far as all experience of men with women
goes
For every ten of marriages nine are chock full
of woes;
The very latest woman, with her muscles,
brains or pluck,
May bring new joys 10 welded life and give
as better luck.
OF one thing | am certain from the widest
range of view
Old-fasioned types must stand aside and make
away for the new.
Thank Heaven for the change that's come and
fascinating fads;
For me the merry outdoor girl who emulates
the lads.

THIRTY DOLLARS A SEAT.

What Sedatc PhiladeIphians Paid to See
Their Actors Play.
Playgoers growl at the price of seats
in the theater to-day, but let them read
what was charged in Philadelphia at
one time, as told in the interesting new
volume of stage reminiscence, "Shal1e-
spearc's Heroines on the Stage" and
then rest content. The story is told in
these words in the book:
'1n 1859, at Annapolis, The Mer-
chant of Venice was produced by the
New American company, with Mrs. Os-
borne, the heavy tragedy actress, as
the heroine. The curtain rang up at
six p. m. in the new playhouse. Gen
tlemen who desired to pay out five
shillings sat, perforce, in the pit or
upper boxes; those who could afford
seven shillings sixpence chose the more
fashionable lower boxes. Some of
the cheaper seats were not easy of
access, if we may Judge by this adver-
tisement in the paper of the day: up
per boxes are now preparing, the pas
sage to which must be from the stage;
it is, therefore, hoped such gentlemen
and ladies as choose to fix on these
seats will come before the play begins,
as it is not possible they can be adj
mitted after the curtain is drawn up
"'As for the cost of going to the thcater
in the New York playhouse at this time,
that ran lower; gallery seats there sold
for two shillings each, pit seats for
four shillings, and the boxes, of which
there were ten, for five shillings. These
prices, however, were apparently very
moderate whether they were in New
York shillings or sterling shillings)
compared with the prices at the Phia-
delphia theater in 1880, when fifteen
dollars was charged for the admission
of child, twenty dollars for gallery
seat, thirty dollars for admission to the
pit and forty dollars for box; but
these later prices, it may be added,
were in continental money"
