Extent of Truck Farming.

The agricultural department says
that in truck farming, as distinct from
market gardening at the time OF the
last census, there were 534, 40 acres OF
land and more than 240. 900 persons EN-.
ployed. The products had value OF
s76. 6.517,155 after paying freights and
commissions, and more than 500, ,0o0.-
900 were invested. Since that time the
business has grown rapidly, and it now
probably yields more money to the
southern states than any other single
industry.

on rich clain and began to take out
gold by the thusands of dollars. His
good luck attRcted the attention of
gang of four iesperadoes, and as his

The Black Diamond Railroad
Said to be Certainty.

In another column we publish
a letter received by H. A. II.
Gibson, ESQ.,, Mayor of Walhalla,
from Mr.. John B. Harrison, of
Knoxville, Tennessee, conveying
the welcome intelligence of early
work OH the Black Diamond Rail
road through Rabun Gap via
Walhalla to the sea coast. The
Black Diamond Railroad system
consists of fourteen railway
corporations, three belt lines and
one terminal company, covering in
in all $3.50 miles.
The prospect for the completion
of this gigantic system now seems
brighter than ever before and the
territory along the proposed routes
in Illinois, Ohio, Indiana,
Kentucky and Tennessee is :ablaze
with enthusiasm. Col. Boone has
never let upin his preparatory work
and it seems that at last success
will crown his efforts.
The city Of Knoxville has
subscribed 100000 to the capital
stock of the company, and at
meeting held there on the 10th
instant the city guaranteed the
interest on the bonds to the sum
of 100000. Strong resolutions
were,unanimously passed endorsing
Col. Boone and the Black Diamond
system. Meetings will be held il
various cities along the route il
the other States at early dates and
engineers put at work locating the
lines.
The citizens of Walhalla should
see to it that the road comes by
this place. 1t has been estimated
that eighty per cent of the rock
work on the old Blue Ridge route
through Rabun Gap has been COM
pleted and the new company Ger
get this at small cost. For in
stance, the Tunnel on Stumphouse
Mountain, which is now owned by
private persons, will be donated tc
any company that will build the
road.-Keowee Courier.

JAPANESE MOTHERS.
They Thoroughly Understand the Tender
Caro- of Children.

Caro- of Children.
It sometimes happens that one sees a
young American mother so utterly unfit
for the training of children and for the
duties of motherhood that one cannot
but wonder why it pleased Providence
ever to give her the care of little ones.
This happens sometimes in the case of
really estimable women, and I have
heard young mother say sadly. that she
never quite knew what to do with baby,
it was such queer little thing, and she
was half afraid to touch it. Other young
things in the shape Of puppies, kittens,
or even colts, she knew all about and
was quite at home with, but her own
child remained sort of curious and un-
canny little being to her till his baby
days were over and he began to share
in his mothers hobbies in boyish sort
of way.
Now, in Japan a mother like this is
an impossibility. She is not interested
in politics or in social reforms, neither
is she bent on being social success, nor
devoted to any scientific philanthropic
work, as are 30 many Of her western sis
ters. She is par excellence mother,
and one who cannot be rivaled in any
other country. No children are so well
and carefully tended as hers, and she is
patient and gentle with them, neve-
threatening them, if they are unruly,
with corporal punishment, nor raising
her voice and scolding them in the un-
pleasant way one so often hears in other
countries. The japanese mother is
born kindergacrtnerin aud enters into
the lives of her little ones just as easily
as the western kindergarten teacher who
has undergone long period of study
and training. To her the duties Of
motherhood come naturally, for among
her nation women who will make good
mothers are chosen as wives, and thus
in the course .of nature the quality of
motherliness is intensified as time goes
on, and the race of mothers becomes
very superior.
Nowhere is motherhood as respected
as In Japan. and nowhere does the
mother receive moro attention from both
her husband and her children. She Is
regarded as the maker of the race. and
her maternal duties are considered to be
exceedingly honorable and to entitle her
to the utmost consideration and affec.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose. namely, receptacle for the
urine. and as such tits not liable to
any form of disease except by one Of
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. SO the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
il not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
usinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or
womb trouble of some sort. The error
is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. 70 find out correctly, set
your urine aside for "a hour;
sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and the

How He Won Her.

that you have already resolved to
reject me !" I,
The woman to whom he addressed
these impassioned words gazed at
him with cold, cruel eyes. She
reclined upon the sands, the waves
breaking at her feet, but breaking
far enough away for those dainty
extremities to preclude the
possibility of the sea spray injur-
ing her bathing costume.
Algernon Fitz Altamont waied
for ht.r answer, but answer came
there none. Still he sat waiting,
waiting with hope in his heart and
sand in his shoes.
But there was sand in the moral
makeup of Algernon Fitz
Altamont as we'll as in his low cut
russets. And he did not propose
to give up so easily. Indeed, he
proposed to win. Therefore, while
he repressed himself, he pressed
her for reply. Seeing she took
kindly to it he pressed her some
more and still again. At last,
when his m was tired, she spoke,
but in q light, banteriug strain
that betok, ned the fimsy fippancy
of her nature.

hour ago, to pull the wool over you
eyes; but perhaps / might succeed
in pulling the wool over your hand.

A ghastly pallor overspread the
features of Algernon Fitz Alta

you are driving at. You mean to
infer that d mitten is nit goods?"
Cold, cruel, calculating coquette

her maiden fancy that when he
