F.itk full Santa Claus.
(By Edward O'Donne1l.)

| (By Edward O'Donnell.)
They hung no stockings round the
hearth upon last Christmas Eve,
AS Santa Claus they all we're told,
and really made believe,
Was never known to travel south-his
home was in the north,
Where nursed was every noble thought
and deed of any worth (?)
With sobs at being SO far from home
they all lay down to rest,
And warm tears wete quickly dried
upon each aching breast.
The Christmas dawn was ushered in
with trumpet, shot and cheer,
AS disappointment seemed to froWn
upon each little dear.
A knock, and 10! supplied file Of
angels crowd the room,
With Santa Claus right in their midst
to brighten up the gloom;
And when the sun foretold the day,
from lips no longer dumb
Rang out:"Why, Pa, you told lie,
see, Santa Claus has GOMEZ"
This life is blurred with murly spots,
and se1fishness holds sway
But the good God has warped and
wooped with sunshine all the way;
Kind hearts are ever on the watch,
some noble act to do,
To make ouI stay uyon this earth
worth striving to pursue;
No grander aim can human thought
continue to index,
1t breaches hope and gives relief t.
lettering, sinking wrecks.

Mr.. O'Donnell, writer Of the
above, is now stopping at South
ern Pines with bis wife and five
children. Being in very bad
health he was compelled to leave
home just before Christmas, and
at the time when Santa Claus was
to make his annual
round he WIS at the Yarboro House
in Raleigh. Being questioned as
o the visit of Santa CLAUS he told |
The five little tots that old Santa did'|
not come down South. The condi

lid 'Hell a lie," for Santa Claus was
avish in besto wing more than the
usual share Of gifts to the five lit
lie souls who were apparently
doomed to disappointment.
All of US must appreciate the
sentiment Of the poem, and rejoice
With Mr.. and Mrs. O'Donnell in the
slad surprise which awaited the
title one when they awoke on

ferent varieties of shrubbery
and trees found in our state,
the paper stated that trees
and shrubs from the low
moist ground could be sue
cessfully transplanted in dry
soil, if proper care is taken of
them for a few days after
being set out.
Mr.. Cooper Curtis next read
a paper written by Prof. G.
Mccarthy of Raleigh on the
San Jose Scale question. He
first spoke of it's early liscov-
cry in this section and the
different methods of treating
it. 1t seems that all efforts
at first to exterminate the
scale were fruitless, and to
keep it under control was i'm
possible. He spoke of the
many plans for destroying the
pest with no satisfactory re-
suits. Then he mentioned a
treatment that had stood the
test and had been efficient to
destroy the scale, the treat
ment that he favored was the
application of whale oil soap.
The trees should be sprayed
soon after the leaves had fall
en- and after the trees had
been pruned, one application
a year usually proved suffi-
cient, and this could be done
at a cost of five cents per tree.
He brought out the necessity |
of concerted action on the
part of the fruit growers if
they wish to be successful in
their work. If all the fruit
growers in one section would
apply the treatment on the
same day, 95 per cent OF the
scale would be killed, other
wise the application would be
fruitless. He warned the
farmers against exchanging
trees With each other, for by
so doing they are liable to get
diseased stock. There is no
need to be panic stricken or
give up the fruit industry for
they will soon be able to sue
cessfully contend with the
pest.
After reading the paper Mr.
Curtis gave an interesting talk
on the same subject and sup
ported the theory of fumiga-
ton. He said this method
might be more expensive, but
it would be found more pro- :
ficiant in its determination.

WASHINGTON, May 16. Immediately
after the disposition Of the naval ap-
preparation bill in the senate Senator
Nelson arose and asked for consideration
Of the free homes bill. No objection
was offered, and after being read the
bill was put on it's passage. Although
there was a comparatively full senate,
not a word was said, and the bill passed
without word Of debate.
Allison, Aldrich and others Of the so.
called senate leaders, have been vio-
lently opposed to the free homes bill,
principally on account Of the large ex-
penditure involved. They estimated
the cost, Of the measure to the govern
ment at from $25, 600, 900 to $50, 900, 900.
The friends Of the bill say it will only
cost from fifteen to twenty million.

WASHINGTON, May 16. Senator Clark

that the consideration of the resolution

As soon as the routine business had
been concluded Senator Clark rose and
addressed the chair on question of
privilege personal to himself. Mr..
Clark said:
''It had not been my purpose to dis.
