Cheap silver in the east, silver
cheapened by western legislation, in
wolves cheap men and women in the
west, and not merely cheap men and
women, but, indeed, great masses Of
men and women who can get no en-
ployment at all.
1T is this which has now at last
awakened the American nation, and
this awakening to the most imminent
race danger which has ever confront
ed western nations can be relied upon
ere many days to educate also captains
of industry in Great Britain to the
murderous industrial competitor fos-
tered by cheap silver, by silver cheap
because it's historic money demand has
been restricted Or even abolished.

'The political forces behind silver
appear to me to presage the defeat OF
Major Mckinley and his party of gold.
More than anything else free silver in
America stands for agrarianism. There
are some 100000 farm voters in the
United States-a vast, scattered host,
quite undisciplined difficult to COM
bine, and, therefore, impossible to buy.

y young lady who is well-known in

and after the discussion of several topics,
the conversation turned upon the subject

First and foremost of all recent social
events worthy of mention must come the
flower show just brought to II close. In
spite of the many things that served to
combine against it, it could not be re-
garded as anything but Il success, and
has passed into history rs such. That it
did not reach the expectation of the man
agement in point of finance is due to the
cold, rainy, disagreeable weather, which
eliminated in the destructive wind
storm, and in no way to any lack of APP
probation on the part of the public.
Too much praise cannot he bestowed
upon the ladies for the manner in which
the show was managed in the face of
such adverse circumstances Let us
hope that we may have early and equal 2
as good an opportunity of attesting their
devotion to the cause of perpetua ting the
memory of those who fought to gain our
freedom.
Besides the flower show little has hap
pened in social circles this week This
is due mainly to the fact that sufficient
amusement was furnished us in that
event to keep us from seeking it else
where.
About the only thing in the way of pri-
vate entertainment that has reached us
was IL delightful little tea given by Miss
kilby to few of her friends at her new
home OH South Jefferson street Those
present were Miss Lizzie Taliaferro, Miss
Pauline Massie, Clarence Dcnison, Will
lam l.. Penn and o. Selwyn Marston.
The german given ut Hotel Roanoke on
"Wednesday evening to the guests of the
flower show also suffered from the ill
effects of the inclement weather, but it
was pleasant affair and we had good
time. Let us add that the coffee and
sandwich feature was IL good one and one
that should he more frequently intro
duced into our Roanoke germans.
1t has been our pleasure to meet IL
great many musical people from many
cities, but we are now wondering how
many more charming women there are in
Norfolk who can sing. We had heal Il
Miss Taylor, Mrs Warrington and her sis
ter, Miss Nicely, and now we have heard
Miss Williams. Can there be any more?
The marriage of Rev. K. c. Anderson
to Miss Gather, of North Carolina was
il most brilliant event. Mr.. Anderson is
very popular i'll Roanoke, so much so
that we can almost fol give him for going
elsewhere for his bride The ladies' of

without shelter. The sheltered hogs made
a gain of one pound of flesh for every pound
of flesh for every five pounds of corn fed,
but the unaheltered hogs made no gain at
all. The station also refers to the necessity
of having shelter in summer, as the animals

TRENCH SYSTEM DESCRIBED.

1t is the early potato crop that pays, be
cause prices do not fall very low until
estimates of the yields of late crops are
made. The growing of potatoes is a matter
on which but little new light can be thrown
as farmers have made pototocs speciality
for centuries. But progress in potato
growing has been made, however, as in
other crops, and it is incumbent on every
farmer who must meet competition to
endeavor to not only increase his yields hut
also at the same time keep the soil III
coming to the front every year, and the
enterprising farmer must endeavor to he
thoroughly informed in regard to their
merits. Just which of the many varieties
can be claimed as the best depends upon
the soil and location, being determine d
only by practical experiment upon each
farm. Tie prolific kinds may be late and
the earliest varieties may not yield Is pro
fusely as those that are later.
S1SIEMS OF GUILTY. AlIDN.
Within the past five years much atten-
ton has been given the modes OF cultiva-
ton, among them being the trench method
which resulted in a yield ut the rate OF
over 900 bushels per acre bv one who en-
a trench, two feet deep, planting the seed
in the trench and adding dirt only as the
potatoes grow until they reach the surface,
when level cultivation is given. 1t is
claimed that the potatoes throw out root:
as the vines are covered, thus having tubers
attached from Just below the surface to the
bottom OF the trench. While the system
has been Endorsed by many leading far
mers, yet the additional expense has been
an obstacle. 1t is suggt sted, however, that
farmers experiment with short row and
compare with other methods.

do not cut into too many small pieces. The
best results have been secured from whole

desired dig out every plant in hill but
