Vote Will Be Smaller.

Judge Baxter, who was in town
Tuesday discussed the question Of how
the total vote was to be effected by the
passage at the last election Of the con
stitutiohal amendment governing the
the qualification Of voters. The judge,
who while not actively in politics
takes a decided interest in matters of
state, is of the opinion that all the
predictions Of the politicians are sim
ply guesses and nothing more. The
percentage of those of foreign birth
who have taken out their final papers
is but a small part Of the foreign-b born
vote Of 1896. The judge thinks that
the northern part OF the State will
prove great surprise to- the wise ones.

The S. A. l.. Agent at Manson, Wins a
Gold Watch Offered by the Com
pany.
1t is with pleasure that we learn that
Mr.. NJ. v. Fleming, agent at Manson
| y. c., was the successful competitor for
| the handsome gold watch offered by
| the Scaboard Air Line for the prettlcst
| and best kept flower garden on that dl-
| vision of the road But knowing Mr..
| Fleming as we do, we We're not ut all
surprised that the prize should have been
awarded him. Mort" is Il hustler from
away back" an energetic business man
and Il "pushcr from the word go.
1t was owing TO his efforts and tinan-
| cial assistance that Manson now has Il
real station house, Geographic and tcle-
phone communications, express office,
&c. The old depot was destroyed by
fire years ago, and from that time until
recently. Manson was station in name
only, and perhaps would have remained
so until the end of time, but for the
proposition made by Mr.. Fleming to
the railroad authorities that he would
contribute a portion Of the funds neces-
sary for the construction of Il depot, II
they would furnish the balance, which
proposition was accepted and the depot
built
Owing TO his untiring energies, push
and perseverance, as agent, Manson IS be-
coming quite shipping point, ana blds
fair in the near future to become the
liyeiest business point between Hend-
erson and Weldon.
When the flower garden was suggested
and the prize offered, Mr.. Fleming de-
termined to win it, not from pecuniary
standpoint, however, but with his char
acterstic determination not to be out
done. He selected place, had ii taste
fully laid out. turfed, and enclosed by an
artistic rustic fence. A rustic summer
house was constructed in the center,
and trailing vines planted around it. The
beds were planted with geraniums, cope
jessamines, and other flowers purchased
at considerable cost by Mr.. Fleming.
a force pump was put in to keep the
flowers fresh and green during the hot
summer months. The flower garden, at
the lowest calculation, cost Mr.. Fleming
not less than $3.50, while the watch re-
ceiyed. perhaps about 500. This is
what we call enterprise, and the Sea-
board Air Line is to be congratulated
that it has in its employ a man of Mr..
Fleming's stamp. who is not only a
clever business man but one of Warren
countys most hospitable gentlemen.

BEWARE OF GREEN TEA,

ut is an abominatIon and a fraud. In
the first place it is the unripe leaf, and
bears the same relation to the real ar
ticIe, that the green does to the ripe
peach. The green tea of commerce de-
rives its rare color from being cured or
rather killed, in dirty copper pans, from
being mixed with roots and shrubs
from being stained with indigo, and
chrome yellow from being colored with
verdigris, grass juice or chlorophyl.
Every green dye known to commerce
has been used to produce that much adj
mired, but death dealing color. except
pehaps Paris green. As soon as the
use of that poisonous substance will
give a profit of a, cent a pound, no
doubt it will be literally used by the mer-
cenary Monaghan merchants, and the
much more mercenry cultured European
tea trade"
