THE FRUIT CROP.

Reports from all sections of the
State indicate that without some inn
probable disaster, we shall have this
year one of the best fruit crops on
record. The following from the
Charlotte Observer is a sample of
the fruit items seen in almost every
newspaper:
Looking at the burden on his
fruit trees thus early, there is
scarcely a farmer in the country
who is not expecting the limbs to
break under the ripened loads. On
a drive through the country, peach,
apple and cherry trees can be seen
on both sides of the road, apparently
as full of fruit now as they were of
blooms a few weeks ago, and such a
condition in this section rarely pre-
walls. 1t is destined to be a re
markable year for fruit"
It is to be hoped that thinning will
be practiced much more generally
than ever before. AS a prOminet
fruit grower says: IF you would
make fruit growing a profitable bust
ness, thin all your fruit. You will
get more bushels to the tree within
reasonable bounds the more you
throw away the more pounds or
bushels you will have left increased
size more than make up loss in
number"

IN PARVO.

Not for many months have we
read a better, sounder, more thought
provoking bit of political doctrine
than this paragraph from Paul
Leicester Ford's famous novel, "The
Honorable Peter Stirling" 1t goes
right to the root of the matter and
presents within afew brief sentences
what many a man would write a
volume in an endeavor to say. We
quote:
"SOciety and personal freedom are
only possible in conjunction, when
law or public opinion interferes to
the degree of depressing all individ-
ual acts that interfere with the free
dom of others thus securing the
greatest individual freedom to all.
So far as physical force is concerned
we have pretty we'll realized this
condition. Because Il man is strong,
he can no longer take advantage Of
the weak. But strength is not linn
tied to muscle. To protect the weak
mind from the strong mind IS an
equal duty, and a far more difficult
task. So far we have only partially
succeeded. In this difficulty lies the
whole problem. Socialism, so far as it
attempts to suppress individualism,
and reduce mankind to an evenness
opposed to all natural laws, is suici-
dial of the best in favor Of m~ediOcrity.
But so far as it attempts to protect
that mediocrity and weakness from
the superior minds of the best, it is
only in line with the laws which pro-
tect US from murder and robbery"
Never, in our opinion, has the
matter been so clearly stated in so
few words. This sAloction is worth
preserving.
