BIG ASPIRATIONS
What the Diamonl Orchard Company
Gives Promise OF Being to This Section.

What the Diamond Orchard Company
Gives Promise OF Being to This Section.
Salem Times REGISTER: Some time ago
we briefly referred to the fact that the
Diamond Orchard Company, of this
place, had been chartered and that it had
40 acres of land in one body, just south
of the corporate limits, which would be
set out asa mammoth apple ana peach or
chard.
To day we are able to submit some fig
ures concerning the enterprise. that will
necessarily interest our readers. For some
time Il force of from 10 to 50 men, SIEVE
raj teams and plows, have been busily en-
gagged in planting out the trees. There
will he ~, coo trees planted one half each
of apples and peaches, 10000 of which
have already been set out. and II, 900
more will be placed'this winter and next
spring, while the rest will he set out aud
the orchard fully planted next fall.
1t is estimated by the men at the head
Of the enterprise that the peaches set out
will pay for the orchard ana all its run
ming expenses during the next ten years,
when it is calculated these trees will be
out OF the way. BY that time it is ex-
pected that the apples will have begun to
bear Experience has proven that apple
trees, we'll cultivated and cared for. WHEN
from twelve To fifteen y,ars old, will
yield an average Of ten bushels each As
there will be 22, 800 apple trees in this or
chard, we have from It the grand aggre-
gate of 225, 600 bushels. or 15 GOO barrels
The Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company has become very mucn inter
ested in this enterprise, and have been do
ing some figuring on their own account,
which brings out the fact that " hen the
bearing time comes it will be yrea'
thing for that road too. Figuiing AZ
above the apple crop at 15,00O barrels.
they estimate that at 800 barrels 10 the
car load, it will take geo cars TO haul The
apples TO market. Then figuring 30 cars
to the train, we have the aggregate Of
twenty trains, of thirty ear loads each,
required to do the work.
Take 10 600 barrels of apples ut the
lowest price paid this year for even in
ferior fruit-:2 per barrel-and we have
Cor one season the handsome sum OF $780,
Geo TO tie divided between the owners of
the enterprise, who do not expect to en-
poy any 'midlle men," but will do their
own selling, packing and, Shipping.
1t is pot improbable that large can
neries, dryers, vinegar mills, etc, may
be operated here, too, in connection with
thi, and other orchards When il is re-
memEered that the claim is made for the
above orchard referred to, that il will
contain as many trees as all the orchards
in this county and Il large portion of Bot
etourt combined. some idea of what its
extent and usefulness will be, is the more
easily comprehendeh.

THE PASTORS SALARY.

Under the above caption the Washing
ton Post has some things to say that are
so universally true, and that will find an
echo in the homes of so many pastors,
that for the benefit OF the readers of The
Times we prefer to give the article in it's
entirety. Not that the rebuke impled.in
it is applicable to Roanoke more than
other cities, but should there be congre-
cation in our city to which it's truths will
apply, then let it's members whenss they
go to service this morning, get. practical
good out OF the article by squaring up
their church assessments:
eff there is one thing in VIII ch
churches, rs a rule, need to be more care
full it is in this matter of preachers sala-
ries. With an Indifference and an insen-
sibility which we cannot understand
many churches seem to think that con-
Il act between themelves and their minis
ter is no contract at all. They promise
him definite salary and then pay him
whatever is convenient. the gas man,
the coal man, and even the sexton must
be paid, but the debt owing to the minis
ter is looked upon as altogether right.
eCus and proper. There is no question of
his worthiness or painstaking devotion,
no bubble as to the terms upon which he
entered the pulpit. He is built as other
Ineu are, with the same stomach that
needs satisfying, with the same body that
requires clothing, and with that inability
to camp out in the open air which .ueces-
states n HORSEPOWER his head Out of his
superior grace, however, he is expected
TO observe with equanimity the monthly
shortcoming in the matter of his salary,
and to preach honesty from the pulpit
when he is q standing example of unkept
pledges.
There are, of course, happy exceptions
where churches do pay their pastors fully
and promptly. We would that the prac-
tice were universal. We would that all
churches might be actuated by nice
sense of honor which would view arrears
in their PASTORS salary with the same alb
horrence that an upright man regards
theft. OF all men in the world the min
lister is worthy Of his hire, and every obli-
CATION toward him should be met with
scrupulous CARE

ness in affording supplies, its facilities
for obtaining raw materyil for its manu-
features, snd for shipping the finished
products. no place could hope to COM
pete with it. The advantages accruing
in the city from such an establishment
in her must 2re too apparent to HOW
mention. Much Of the work necessary
to the eIectio O. buildings could be per-
formed by prison labor, and thus the ex-
penses materially lesseued. But whether
here or ut some other point, whether the
old buildings be torn down aud new ones
erected on the present site, for the sake
OF our hoasted civilization let us not see
another session of this legislature close
without some steps being taken to wipe
out tie blot that has already sunk deep
into the fair name OF the State.

fascinating melange that to particulariZe

there is nothing dull in the entire three

while the burlesque of the Going Man

degree that fish cannot live in them.
Time was when the fishing was good, but
now one might fish for week and not
take half dozen fish. With proper pro-
lection its waters could be made to TEEN

delightful sport, but welcome food sup
ply to the people in the vicinity. OF
course, nominally, we have laws for the
protection of our fish, but their obsery-
ance is so little a matter of practice that
they might as well net exist. What we
want are laws more rigid and more com
prehensive. and imposition of penalties
so severe as to make the iolaticn of the IN

DISGRACE TO THE STATE.

It's lot probable that the present legis-
lature will adjourn without taking some
action in regard to the State penten
tiary. The condition of the building is
such that common humanity demands
that some plan be adopted for the reiief
of its prisoners who though transgres-
sors of the law, are yet human, and have
n claim upon our sympathies. The pres
ent buildings were built more than q cen
tury ago, when the total white popula-
ton did not exceed half a million, but
which now,white and colored, approaches
closely to Two millions. What was then
considered adequate accommodation has
since been made to do duty for "a popula
ton nearly four mes rs large. Built
originally upon the primitive lines. its
cells are small and poorly ventilated, and
into these are crowded sometimes rs
many as twenty or twenty-tiv prisoners,
who in winter are compelled to breathe
the fectid atmosphere arising from the
crowding of so many together, and in
summer to sweltcr in the oppressive
heat. The superintendent is powerless
tic remedy this. for he is responsible foi
the safe keeping of those in his charge,
and the State allows him only so much
space Ill which to secure them. Physi-
chlly, the situation is bad enough, but
when we consider the matter from Il
moral standpoint, the wickedness and
shame are almost beyond description.
Those who are in confinement for compar-
atiYeiy minor offences are force | to herd
like cattle with criminals of the worst
type. Until some change can be made,
iU is almost impossible to secure reform
of character, or to hope for any moral or
religious improvement, the whole place
being one iomenting hotbed Of sin and
vice, in which terminate fresh seeds of
crime 30 be disseminated throughout the
country rs soon rs the various terms en-
pre. Our civilization ind our Christi
anity, as we'll as the fair name of the
State, demand that II change be II ale.
