The case of Norton, the lefaulter, who
crept back from Canada last week, Drawing
the risks of arrest, that he might be with
wife and children during the Christmas
season, makes one feel almost sorry that
he did not succeed in Guiding the police.
The incident, however, seems to show us
how strong is the love of home and fam
lily implanted in the breasts CT all. The
marvel is that so many are willing to risk
the loss of these for the sake of n few
paltry hundreds or even thousands of
dollars. There is, to day many self-exiled
unfcrtunates. roaming the streets of some
foreign city, miserable, disgrace,l, alone,
who would give a thousand times over all
that he has dishonesty gotten only to
creep back to wife and children, and be
with them during the coming week. SEN
timent and dishonesty are Nv no means
incompatible. In fact. we believe that
great love may often be the temptation
that lures many n en- to their destruction.
The consuming desire to see his loved
ones more comfortably situated, or the
terrorizing fear of some disaster that
threatened them, may often be the false
light that leads him on to reefs and shoals
OF dishonesty and of disgrace The world
contains no more p, table wretch than the
fugitive from justice, wanderer in for
eign lands, cursed with the torments of

despise the deed, from our hearts goes

FARMERS MUST KEEP PACE.

An issue OF last week s Times gave an
account of the chartering OF the Diamond
Orchard Company near Salem, Va, and
no one who read the mathematical calcn-
lations upon which were based the .ple
dlctions of success for the enterprise,
could fail to he struck with the hopeful
ness of the calculator. Like many new
projects, time may rob it of many --of it's
now most promising features. AMI yet we
are sure that the people of Salem are wise
in their day and generation, and that the
inception of the incorporators of this
company is based on sound principles.
In this age W hen the stream of light that
is being poured in such liberal way
upon the practice of horticulture and
kindred sciences, it is sheer folly for the
farmers of any county TO expect success
unless they keep step with the march of
progress.
AT the last meeting of the Virginia
state horticultural Scciety,its president,
Mr.. Samuel b. Wood, made an address
calling attention to the vast potentiaIi:ies
III apple culture. and the comparative
neglect by the State of its immense op-
portnnities. That this is wonderful
fruit country there can be no question.
Exhaustive tests have settled this uues-
tiou beyond al cavil But W hat we want
most to know is what varieties proiuce
the best results from a marke: point of
view.
The fame of the Albemarle pippin has
become trans ocesnic, and tradition has
it that this choice fruit annually finds
itself upon the table of English ROYALTY.
And yet, however delicious the flavor of
this fruit when produced IN the red soil
of y lhemarle, experience has shown us
thai the same variety VIXEN ,transplanted
to other sections of the State, gives an
apple Of very common glade.
The first thing then, is to test by care

cess, and the last four years have seen
more apples shipped from the county
than ever known in it's previous history.
The mammoth extent Of the Diamond Or

the advantage of bringing to the enter

ture, and in this way give greater Guar

NORTH GLYNN.
The Altamaha River Flows
Over Into This
County.
STOPS THE SOUTHERN TRAINS.
The Washout Described BY a Times Re-
porter Who Went to the
Scene.
STOPS THE SOUTHERN TRAINS

The waters of the Altamaha are
playing havoc in the northern part of
Glynn county.
A special reporter for THE TIMES
visited the scene of the washout be-
tween Everett City and Mount Pleas
ant on bicycle Sunday afternoon.
The regular train out of Brunswick
on the Southern Sunday morning
could get no further than Everett
City as the main washout lies about
two miles further, and for q mile the
track was in an impossible condition.
The water from the Altamaha has
overlooked the whole northern portion
of the county to a depth of several
feet.
From Belle Vista to Sand Hill the
track runs through river of water,
which was flowing with grea' er rapid
Ivy anu III 20 tDdIl a IObs OltHOu UluGs
Between Belle Vista and O'Brlen
there is a stretch for mile and half,
where, for the greater part Of the dis
lance, The rails only are in sight, the
earth having been washed entirely out
from between the ties, and the water
rushing through with the speed of a
mill race.
The trains managed, by cautions
creeping, TO cross and reach Everett
City,
The place above Everett CITY is
much worse, and in several places for
rods the embankment has washad
away entirely, carrying the ties along
and leaving the rails sagging below
the water.
The flood is still rising and the
construction train gang seems power
less TO stop the rush.
The Altamaha is level with the F. G.
& p. drawbridge, and the trains can
not now cross.
On account of the washOur, a special
arrangement has been made whereby
the F. c. & P. and the Southern use
the Plant system tracks. The follow
ing notice from Agent G. l.. Gambler
Is of interest to travellers:
