FALL CROP OF POTATOES
A New Idea About Planting.

we take pleasure in calling atten-
ton 10 t11u IoIiowi,.- circular sent out
by /. W. Wood 4 Sons. the we'll
known seedsmen, Of Richmond. Va,
about fall potato planting. This is
new time tor planting potatoes anis
the idea is well worth an extended
trial we think. MeSSrs. Wood X
Sons say:
We have had 50 many reports indicit-
ing TIL" success attending the fall plant
ing o. early potatoes, that We suggest to
our customers he wisdom of experiment.
ing on an -XteulvG scale i'll this direction.
\ recent letter received from one of our
customer, reads as follows:
loving to wet springs and early
drOughts. the potato crop has the past
few seasons been at least apartial failure
with me, except when planted in The fall.
| frequently plant i'll the fall, and rarely
fail to make ii good crop when planted
at that season."
We nave also had q number Of other
satiSfact orv reports III regard to the fall
planting OF potatoes. and from the gen.
erai opinion We have been able to obtain
III regard to thefall planting of potatoes,
We see no reason why profitable and sue
ces>ini crops should not be raised from
same. Potatoes planted in November or
in open weather in December should Of
course be put in a little deeper than the
spring planted potatoes, and it would be
wise If they come up very early in the
spring to throw another furrow on top
OF them just as they are breaking the
ground 50 as to protect them from late
frOsts.
Every report we hnvehad from the late
fall paintings of potatoes has been that
not only earlier, but larger and better
crops are made from same than from the
spring paintings.
In order to give our customers full OPP
portunity to test the fall planting of
potatoes, under the very best and most
favorable conditions, we have ordered
forward one car load of our Selected
Maine-grOwn Seed Potatoes, and quote
prices on varieties we can now furnish, as

rule among those who receive faVor5
not TO make any acknowledgment Of

Charlotte Obserrcr.
The above is quite true. Why 1t
should be 50 is question that no
one undertakes to answer. At best
it is but psychological problem to
which no satisfactory answer can be
given. Newspapers have brought
more men into prominence and given
them good standing in the political
or social world than any other
agency, and nine times out Of ten
when it completed its work the OBJ
ject Of its aid never so much as said,
II thank YOU
If 4 newspaper says good word
for an individual and lifts him into a
higher place in public esteem, it is
taken as a matter of course, but if. in
pun suing their duties to the public

ures that affect the public veal, the
newspaper should step on an in
dividual's pet corn, then the news
paper man becomes at once an awful
fellow, an object OF the severest
criticism. Winston JOurn0I.
Words were never truer as every
newspaper man can testify. And
this recalls an incident OF recent oc
currencc An editor wrote an article
OF a very complimentary nature about
a certain idividual. A mutual friend
cnquired OF the editor what the
person mentioned thought Of it.
'.Oh, he liked it." was the ready re-
Spouse. ''How do you know, did he
tell YOU sop was asked. ''No,' said
the newspaper man, ''he did not and

THE trusts or something else are
giving the consumer-the buyer
the laborer-a pretty hard time of it
now. Everything he has to buy is
high in price while he gets no more

Coal is up, clothing is up, food is

not in trust are taking advantage of

THE RIDGEWAY LINK.

The Richmond. Petersburg and

Link, rs it is more generally known,
will be completed from Ridgewav, n.

year. The first train into the new
depot will be over the Richmond,

the Chesapeake and Ohio viaduct will
not be completed for some time
later The magnitude Of the work
can scarcely be overestimated. 1t is
in effect the construction of about
three miles of elevated railway, at a
cost Of millions of dollars. The steel
viaduct, laid on stone piers. will ex-
tend from point near Hollywood
down the river, or in the river to 4
point near the new Southern depot,
where the tracks Of the Richmond,

on the piers also. The two roads
will enter the Union Station in Rich

THANK GVING THOUGHTS.

The Thanksgiving festival in this
calls into exercise both religious and
patriotic devotion.
Worship Of God and love Of country
are the central ideas, rs the ignoring
of one or the other. or the advancing
Of the one before the other. is to lose
the true significance of the day which
has been set apart by national and
State authority for Thank sgiving
and PRAYER.
The people are cnjoine4 by procla
nation to gather in their respective
places Of worship, and there to
render thanks to the Deity for the
blessings which have come to them,
In the popular mind the things to be
thankful for are usually conceived Of
as material prosperitv-th harvests
OF the year, profitable trade. national
and local progress. and individual
happiness,
But this conception Of the day is
only half truth, and the least i'm
portant part at that. To possess
wealth, and to have enough to eat and
wear. are unquestionably great bless
ings: but how insignificant they are
in comparison with the gift Of life,
health, and activity Of mind and
limb. In like manner bursting
granaries and the hum of industry
are subjects for gratitude, but subor-
dinate to other considerations affect
ing the possession Of a country rich
in resources, marvellous in oppOr
tunitv, and endowed with the price
less boon of civil and religious free
dom.
In his thanksgiving hymn an
Ameaican poet, after reciting various
reasons why the Puritan fathers were
thankful on Plymouth Rock and in
Salem and Boston, finally set forth
the most important and significant
thought of all in ''freedom to wor-
ship Cod"
Therefore, the discerning man
to-day will find room in his devotions
for patriotic gratitude as we'll as re-
lieious fervOr over the temporal bless
ings of the dying year. He will not
fail to be as thankful for the Declara
ton of Independence, the Constitu-
| ton, the ballot and the common
school as for the turkey, oysters and
pastry upon his richly loaded table. -
