other portraits and relics. \ collection
of different newspapers published dur
ing the war are interesting. The North
Carolinians of Richmond have been most
liberal and interested in this work,
which with the generous donation of
our public-spirited Julian ). Carr, has
placed the room out of debt, and small
balance in hand. 1t is due to posterity
that this room should hold not only
relics of the North Carolina soldier, who
served so nobly in the Confederate army.
but pictures should be there, and records
of their services should be placed on file
in the Confederate Memorial Hail. in
the Confederate capital. where all may
see them.

FOR JIM CROW
CARS.

THE, people on the Southern Railway
train from Goldsboro yesterday had pre-
scented to them a strong argument i'll
favor of Jim Crow cars" said Mr.. Alex
Justice, of Wilmington, Sunday at the
Marlborough. 1T was Il great big, greasy
looking negro who went to the water
cooler in the car just before reaching
here. took out dirty handkerchief and,
turning the water OH it, proceeded to
thoroughly battle his face and hands. 1t
was altogether one of the most disgusting
sights I've ever witnessed. Among the
many other people who saw it were Rev.
Herbert Scnoltz and Rev. c. III. Row
land of Elon College. They We're as
much Disguised at the scene as | was.
Such things as this have made the pe0-
pie Of North Carolina favor separate
cars for the races. The Railroad Com
mission has failed to provide them and
if the Legislature does not do it the
people of the State will be disappointed
in the representatives they have chosen"

PROPAGATION OF FLOWERS.
Some Interesting Experiments in Bulb
Culture by Prof. Massey.

Culture by IrOf. Massey.
Prof. Massey. the horticulturist of the
North Carolina Agricultural Expert
ment Station, is vigorously prosecuting
experiments in the propagation of Hover
ing bulbs for florists use. These bulbs
have been SO far imported from abroad,
and millions of dollars go abroad every
year for them They ares used by the
florists for winter forcing and then
thrown out. 1t is believed that most. If
not all. classes of these bulbs can he
grown to advantage in North Carolina,
and a great industry established.
Prof. Massey has planted this fall TO-
500 bulbs of the Bermuda Easter lily,
1900 of Japanese Lilium Longihorum.
1000 Iilium Candidum. 5000 Roman
Hyacinths, 800 Chinese Sacred Tiles H.
900 Narcissi Of various kinds, o. 00 Free
zias and has under glass ZOO Little
Gem Calas, number of the large flow
cred Calais and Black Callas. Lilies
grown by the North Carolina station sold
last fall in New York at higher prices
than were paid for the imported French
grown bulbs. and all that are now being
grown are already contracted for to New
York houses at good figures. Prof.
Massey has also in course of prepaga-
ton about 10000 scales of the white
lily for making bnlblets for next years
planting, as it takes three years to pro-
duce a saleable bulb from the scale. If
the crop of the Bermuda lilies is success
full this year, there will be an immense
number planted here another fall, fol
the crop in Bermuda has become so dis
eased that some other place must be
found for the culture Of this lily, which
is sold in immense quantities every au-
tumn.
The Secretary of Agriculture intends
to place a large number of bulbs in
Prof. Massey's hands another season, as
there is a widespread interest in the ez-
perimcnts.

PONTIAC, Mich. Dec. 6-Judge Smith
to-day rendered decision In the case
of Stephen A. Baldwin versus Fred A..
Baker in favor of the former.
In payment of mortgage upon his
farm Baldwin rendered Baker 364 sill
yer dollars which he efused to accept.
Baker at once began steps to foreclose.
Baldwin filed bill In chancery asking
that the mortgage be discharged in as
much as he had rendered payment.
Baker filed lengthy answer. He ar
gued that he was not being paid the
full value of his mortgage as the silver
dollars market value was but fifty
eight and eighth cents. Judge Smiths
decision was that the tender of silver
in payment for the mortgage was good,
and accordingly ordered the mortgage
discharged as paid. The case will be
appealed to the supreme court of Mich
igan and will eventually go to the
United States supreme court.
