Old persons should avoid reading

The game was much moro closely

We Want Good. Roads-Tire Resistance.

a correspondent of the Whining
ton (Del.) News says: "The use of a
broader tired wagon does not meet
with favor by all, for some people
allude to them as team killers In
moving a loaded wagon the force of
resistance is in the tires. Conse-
quently, the force of resistance
would be twice AZ great in a six
inch tire as in q thro Inch one, the
kind now in use." How altogether
lucid ! And since the force ,of re-
sistance of three-inch tire is only
half that of a six-inoh tire, that of a
one.inch tire must be only one-third
that of three-inch tire. Then why
not narrow the tire down to tho
width of the back of case knife ?
Why, because the narrower the tire
the deeper it cuts into the average
road, and the greater the force of re-
sistance it has to overcome. That's
why i oix.inch tire pulls easier, ao-
cording to all scientific tests, than
does three-inch one. Suoh misin-
formation as is being spread about
in such statements as above referred
to will all have to be lived down,
until,the people got to doing o little
thinking and experimenting for
themselves, and then
They'll get wide tires.

DEFENSE Of THE HONEY BEE.
THEY PROMOTE THE PROPER MATURITY OF
FRUITS, BUT NEVER HINDER 1T.
Never Break the Fruit, But Repair the Dam.
ago Done by Wet Weather and Birds.

EDIToRs KEowEE COURIER l
want to say word in defense OF the
much-abused honey bee. Every
summer we hear more or less COM
plant about the bees eating up the
grapes, damaging peaches, etc.
1t is strange some people don't
know their best friends. That the
little honey bee is great benefit to
the fruit grower is well known to
everyone who has taken the trouble
to inform himself OH the subject.
1t has been proven time and again
that the bees never break the hull of
the grape. To prove this you may
take a prefect bunch of grapes and
place it in hive of bees and it will
remain there until it dries up, and
will never be disturbed by tho bees
unless the skin is broken. After the
sparrows break the hulls, or wet
weather bursts the grapes open, then
The bsc comes in, takes Up the juice
that is going to waste, and right
there is where the bees come in with
their help. They take up the juice
before it fermcnts and runs down on
the other berries and spoils them,
which it will do inside of forty-cight
hours, if the bees do not clean up the
cracked berries. SO instead of doing
harm they are benefit to the grape.
But this is not the only place
where the little busy bees come in
with their help. The first and great
purpose for which bees were created
was for aiding in the fertilization of
flowers of different kinds. The
honey, as food for man, comes in as
secondary. 10 prove this we only
find honey or nectar sccrctcd in such
flowers that are incapable of sclf-fer-
tillzation, while those capable of be-
ing fertilized by the agency Of the
wind, ETC., secrete no nectar. For
example, we find no nectar in wheat,
corn, oats, rye, etc, all these being
capable Of elf-fertilzation by the
rustling of their stalks in the wind.
Then there are all the clovers, the
squash and the vine family, none of
which are capable of being fertiized
through the process applicable to the
first. All thee last named secrete
honey for the sole purpose of entic-
ing bees, flies, etc, for fertilization,
30 that they may mature seed and
perpetuato their kind.
The same thing holds good with
trees of all kinds. In fact, if it were
not for the bees there would be very
little perfect fruit in the country,
because to make frrit set and grow
to perfection the po. en- must be car
ricd from one bloom to another, and
the honey bee is the main agency for
this work, and should be welcomed
in every orchard and vineyard. 1t is
claimed for the industry Of bee keep
ing what can be claimed for no other,
namely: 1t does not take from any
other thing that which would make
it more valuable in returning the
same, but on tho contrary adds to it's
value. r.. r.. CAMAK.

Win southern ports showing rapid
expansion in their foreign commerce,
it would be hard to forecast the pro-
gress and prosperity Of the next ten
years. ..
In view of these facts, it il most
opportune that Baltimore is becom-
ing sufficiently strong financially to
furnish tho capital needed for the
development Of the South. Some
years ago the Mercantile Trust and
Deposit Co. was organized, largely
for the purpose of financing South
ern railroad and municipal securities.
Its great SUCCESS caused others to see
the opportunity, and then came the
Baltimore Trust Co. and the Mary
land Trust Co., both of which have
been active factors in Southern af-
fairs. The Mercantile Company has
a capital of $2,Q00,000 and O surplus
of $3,000,000; the Baltimore Trust
and Guarantee Co.'s capital is
81 100000 and surplus $1,5OO,OOO !;
tho Maryland has capital of ST.
100000 and surplus of 100000. A
few months ago the Continental
Trust Co. was organized with a capi-
tai and surplus of $4,0O0,OOO, largely
over-subscribed the Citizens Trust
Co., with capital and surplus of
$2,50O,000, and now the Interna-
tional Trust Co. has been organized
with capital and surplus of $3,OO0,-
900, and "out $12,0OO,OO0 of bona
tide subscriptions were received. In
addition to these we have the Mary
land Casualty Co., probably tho
largest company of its kind in the
United States; the American Bond
Ing and Trust Co., capital and sur
plus s1,500,Ooo; the Fidelity, and
Deposit Co., capital and surplus
$2,O00,000; the Guardian Trust Co.,
the United States Fidelity and
Guaranty Co., and several other
strong companies.
The total actual cash capital
represented in these companies is
over $25,000,00O. Their success
has been 30 great that the selling
value of their stock runs from 60
per cent above par to 800 per cent,
and even these prices are not near
as high as for similar stocks in
New York. The organization of
these great financial enterprises is
simply new form of banking, with
broader powers than national banks
possess, enabling them to finance
great industrial and railroad under
takings. With this vast aggregation
Of wealth concentrated upon he de-
velopment of the South there must
come a more rapid advancement of
that section than we have ever seen.
The South affords room for the pro-
fitable employment of all this capital,
md the operation of these companies
will bring Baltimore and the South
into the closest trade relations. The
field is broad enough for the fullest
development of all these strong finan-
ical companies. With their influence,
backed by that of our private bankers
and national banks, Baltimore pro-
misses to take a leading position as q
great financial center--a position

tagos., Miami facturcrs' Record.

An Important and Valuable index.

There is no better basis upon
which to estimate the civilization, or
rather the material advancement, of
people than the prevalence of good
roads among them. They form the
local arteries of trade, reaching out
to fountain heads from which the
waters of trade are gathered to form
the great streams and oceans of COM
mercc. Good roads are good tax
payers, because they relieve the far
mcrs and tradesmen of the country
of their heaviest burden, for it is
well-krown that one of the most con-
slant, most Troublesome and most
wearing of all the taxes they pay
is the transportation Of their pro-
ducts TO market over bad roads.
Prosperous communities, therefore,
are made by good roads, and, in
turn, good roads arc an index to the
prosperity of a community.-J. b..
