Ten Good Reasons
why you should
Use Garter Lead.

LIST. The Carter White Lead is abso-
lutely pure.
End. The Carter White Lead will cover
one.fourth more surface and
thereby save you 20 per cent.
3rd. The Carter White Lead will last
much longer and look better
than any other paint.
4th The Carter White Lead Company
is independent Of all trusts.
9Th. The Carter White Lead is much
viii er than any other lead
offered
9th. The Carter White Lead is much
finer and superior for inside or
flat work.
7th. The Carter White Lead will take
more oil than any other lead.
9th. The Carter White Lead is superior
in body.
9th. The Carter White Lead works
smoother under the brush.
10th Twenty-Five Test Boards paint

reasons.

The superiority of Carter Lead is due
to improved methods and the putting
into use the very latest machinery by
which a perfect corroSion is obtained

Middlesborough. Ky, Nov. 1O.-The

which wiped out half of the city seven
years ago, occurred to-day in the total

ABOUT YELLOW FEVER
PROF. GUlTERAS, OF UNIVERSITY OF
PENNSYLVANIA, ON The SUBJECT.
The Report Deals With the Technical But Rlss
Contains Statements About
the Disease.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Dr. John Gu;-
teras, professor of general pathology,
in the University of Pennsylvania, has
made 4 report to Surgeon General Wy
man, of the Marine Hospital service Of
the results of his investigation Of yellow
fever during the recent epidemic in the
South. The report is largely technical
in character, but also contains some OBJ
servations of general interest in connec-
ton with the development of the dis
ease. DR.. Guiteras says the conditions
existing in Cuba during the early part
of the past summer made it very proba-
bic that yellow fever would extend from
that island to this country. Discussing
the general subject of yellow fever dag
nOsis DIR. Guiteras holds that during the
life the microscope could not establish
a position proper diagnosis Of the dis
ease. He speaks of this in connection
with the statement that an erroneous
belief has prevailed throughout the
South, especially among physicians who
were not practical micrOscOpsists that
the instrument should be an important
aid in the diagnosis of the disease. 1t is
pointed out that even with the assistance
of post mortem examinations Sanareili,
the yellow fever expert, was able to dis

as far as our present methods go St
would be impossible to distinguish be-
tween a drop of yellow fever blood and
blood from a healthy man. References
is made to the prevalence of a wide
spread mild epidemic fever during the
present outbreak of yellow fever, many

as thinks the cause of a yellow fever
epidemic is to be found in the introduc-
tion into a community of cases that are
not suspected TO be disease which occurs
probably most frequently in connection
with colored people who usually have
the fever in n mild form. The impor-
tance OF the diagnosis of the first case Of

Possibilities of Tea Culture in
Florida.

POSSIBILITIES OIL Lea Su1CuIC Ill
Florida.
From a comprehensive article upon
the cultivation and manufacture of
tea, prepared for the Citizen by Mr.. I'll.
S. Wyllie, of ST. Augustine, the follow
ing portion, treating of cultivation, is
extracted, section relating to manu-
facture and labor being reserved for a
later issue:
Tea is a sub-tropical plant, and has
not been found Indigenous in the
tropics, although it fourishes album
dantly in low ATTITUDES. 1t is indigen-
Gus to Assam, latitude % to %, and
the Corea, latitude 35 to 42, from
which latter place it was imported to
China many centuries ago. Tt grows
and yields returns more or less profit
able in the mountains of Ceylon, the
Neilgberries and Darjesling, where
some gardens are exposed to frost and
snow; in the lowlands of Ceylon and
the Terai; and in the high latitudes of
Cf>rea and Japan; but it yields the
highest and surest returns in the low
lands of Assam and in sub-tropical
China, latitude "A to 35.
The crop being in leaf, the soil
should be rich or enriched by fertili-
zation, and the rainfall copious and
steady. In the hill districts, generally
speaking, the soil is SHALLOW, and the
result is light crop of very delicately
favored, but weak Hquoring tea; in
the low valleys particularly in AS
sam), the soil is rich and the crop is
heavy, and gives very strong pun
gent liquor The rains in Assam COM
mence in March and gradually in
crease in volume until June, during
which month, together with July and
August, they are at their maximum;
they then decrease until November,
during which and the two following
months there is practically no rain.
Grown from the Seed.-Tea is
grown from seed, which may be
planted in the open at once, three or
four to the stake to secure stand, or
in nurseries. The seed is large about
the size and not unlike an oak apple,
and it is protected by husk; the
flower is white and very closely re-
sembles the flower of the wild rose;
the seed ripens in October. The AS
sam variety of the plant differs very
considerably from that of China, the
latter being small bush with small,
dark, dull leaf, while the Assam plant
is almost tree, attaining in the jun
giles thirty feet in height. 1t has a
large, bright, glossy leaf, very like a
laurel; it gives very much more leaf
return, and is far the more valuable OF
the two, but it is delicate and some-
what difficult to raise. The Assam

course gave her seven and half days
pay; she had been assisted, however,
by very young child About half of
the numerical labor force is required
during the season for plucking, and it
does not seem possible that machin-
cry can ever be brought into use in
this branch of the business.
Methods of Cultivation.-As to
methods of cultivation, in regard to
which, as in many other crops, 1.-The
doctors differ" some planters prefer
clean cultivation, while others declare
that a short growth of weeds is bene-
fetal in keeping the ground moist in
a dry spell. In the "cold weather." of
course, no tea is made, and that is the
season for over hauling and setting in
order all buildings, fences, bitches,
bridges and roads, and for pruning
and cultivation. A gang of women
with large shears go over the garden
cutting the plants down, usually re-
ducing them to their greatest girth,
and leaving them fiat on the top; they
also pull off all of the flowers; men
follow with knives, removing the
small twigs and old wood; often men
come after with large, heavy hoes,
digging deep, turning the soil up in
large clods and burying the prunings.
During the rain the grass grows at
very rapid rate, and would soon swal-
low the garden altogether if permit
ted; it is necessary then to keep a
gang of hoers on who are constantly
at work on light hoeing. The usual
days work for winter hoeing is 800
square yards, so that it is as costly as
the same work performed with the
plow would be in Florida.

perature and rainfall are all-impor-
tant factors. A tropical winter is not
a desideratum, but as much moist
heat in spring and summer as possi-
BILE is desirable. Tea grows without
protection in London, England, and
the frost and snow do not destroy it.
Even the most severe frosts known in
Florida would hardly retard the
plucking operation, and would GER
tainly do no material injury to the
plants. Professor C. w. Shepard, of
South Carolina has SINE twenty-five
acres of tea which, at the time of the
frost of which he writes in his pam
phlet, "Tea raising in South Caroline"
1898, was three years old. He says:
''The week following Christmas was
very cold; much ice was formed, and
the ground was frozen to the depth
of about an inch for several mornings,
although in the afternoon it generally
thawed out The week January 8 to
Is was also cold, SO that all pruning
