ing ways and means of affording sub
stantial relief to such American citi-
owing to the war, the administration
has hit upon q plan, which may be put
in operation if it is sanctioned
by the united judgment of
the United States consular officers
in Cuba, who. being on the ground,
are supposed to best qualified to judge
of the efficiency Of the proposed relief
measures. This plan is to give notice
through the American consuls to all
American citizens in Cuba, that the
government will undertake to remove
them from the island to the United
States if they SO desire. To do this will
require action by congress, not neces-
sarily a specific authorization Of the
removal, but merely nIe limitation OF
the appropriation TO r. general terms
of one for the relief or American citi-
Zens in Cuba.
Figures are not Obtainable as to the
number of American citizens in Cuba
who are in actual distress, and in need

destroyers seem TO have no thought
of the future. They make no steps
to replace that which they take
away. The influence of forests upon
rainfall, moisture and seasons is
pretty we'll understood. The point
has about been reached at which it
is necessary that something must be
done to put stop to forest destruc-
ton. If steps to that end are not
taken it will not be a great while be-
fore this section will suffer a sue
cession of droughts, floods and severe
storms. There should be some way
of preserving the forests for the gen.
eral good. Our people are selling
their birthright for a mess OF pot
tage. 1t is well enough that lands
should be cleared up for settlement,
but millions of acres of forests are
disappearing every year, and very
little is coming in to compensate for
the loss.

Presidents Party Snubbed

AsHEvILLE, June 14.-George
Vanderbilt has refused to admit all
the members of President MeKin-
ley's party into the house at Bit,
more, and there is the biggest sort
of row over it. The steward of
the estate is Brooklyn man named
Charles McNamee. He is now in
Europe with the Vanderbilts, and E.
J. Harding, a New Yorker, is in
charge here in his place. Harding
just said that he would only let the
President and Mrs. Mckinley into the
house, and then he came down off
his high horse to the extent of agree
ing to pass the President, Mrs. Nc
Kinley and the members of the Cab
met in, but he positively refused to
admit Congressman Grosvenor, the
newspaper correspondents and the
other members of the party. Mr..
E. P. McKissick, the proprietor of
the Battery Park Hotel, where the
reception of the President is being
held, tried in every way to induce
Harding to withdraw his refusal,
but the man evidently was work
ing under "orders" and determined
to place slight upon the President.
When he found that he would not
recede from the extraordinary po-
sition that he had taken, McKissick
told Harding that he would cable
Mr.. Vanderbilt for permission to
pass the whole party. Harding said
this would do no good; that he had
his instructions, and knew what he
was about.
McKissick then returned to the
BatteryP arkH otel and informed the
President of Harding's conduct.
When he had finished his statement,
the President, who seemed greatly
disturbed, said: s'Then, Mr.. Nc
Kissick, l refuse to visit Biltmore.
All those who came with me are
my personal guests, my friends. A
slight to any one of them is slight
to me personally, and l cannot visit
the Vanderbilt estate unless all of
my party are invited with me-" >
Special to the Banner.
Harding, the manager of Bit
more, reconsidered the matter and
finally consented for the entire par
ty to enter. Mr.. Vanderbilt should
leave his estate in the hands of
man the next time he is
absent.

Crop Report.

The warm weather of the latter
part of the week was beneficial to
the growth of cotton and corn, par,
ticularly the latter. These crops
have been well cultivated, and, al.
though quite small for the season,
are clean, and, as a rule thrifty.
Much of the early corn has been
''laid by. Wheat harvest is be-
ginning to be in full progress, with
an extra fine crop in prospect. A
fair crop of winter oats is being
harvested; spring oats ARE as a rule,
short, and many fields have been
cut for hay. The week was very
favorable for saving clover hay,
and most of the crop has been saved
N fine condition; the crop is light.
Irish potatoes are being gathered;
the yield will be light owing to the
dry weather. The prospects are
good for fair crop of apples. The
blackberry crop promises to be large.

John Price is experimenting on
his place near town i'll raising gin
seng. The government has tried to
raise this valuable herb, but could
never do SO. individuals and seed
firms have spent large sums expert
menting on how to cultivate ginseng,
but every effort has proved failure.
1t grows profusely in the mountain
sections of Tennessee, and many
earn livelihood hunting the roots,
which, when dried, are now quoted
in the market at $3.50 per pound. A
ginseng digger considers himself in
luck if he finds few roots in days
search in the hills, and if it could be
successfully cultivated there would
be large profit in raising it. Mr..
Price has successfully raised some
plants at his place from the seed.
1t takes about three years for the
plant to mature as the potato does
in one season. He has raised his
plants in the sun and they are now
in healthy condition. He does
not tell everybody how he treats tAe
plants, but he has them to show for
themselves. Sparta Expositor.
