report shows that there is balance
of good assets over liabilities of

amount of about S95, OOO
The problem of reorganization
ought not TO be of great difficulty,
and there is ample business in that
town for two banks. Probably, in

der how it was possible, with the
checks usually presumed to exist

services of Officer Wood went back
in the night to the abode of the
newly welded couple and attempt
ell to persuade her daughter to go
home with her, but was not sue
c'ssful.
One day this week word was sent
the bride that her mother was very
sick and wished to see her. She
accompanied the mes

di@quieting remarks had been made

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

Prof. Harry Hayward and Ga
briel Hester, the former of State
College and the latter a large fruit
grower in Dauphin Co. were present
at the institute held last Friday.
Though the attendance was not large
much interest was manifested in the
talks which were mainly on dairying
fruit culture and treatment of worm
out soils such as abound in this eoun-
ty. 1t was urged that the dairy in
terest here ought 10 be cultivated
and that silos be built to supplement
grass and feeds. Worn out land
may be brought to productiveness by
green manuring, plowing in or even
brushing down buckwheat on the
land. Apples are good crop and
the planting Of apple and pear tree:
was strongly advocated. Native
stock should be planted and ther
grafted to some fruit that thrive'
in the locality. Observe the kind,
which do best here and procure grafti
from such trees. Red apples ar,
profitable because they sell better il
foreign markets.

THE JERSEY SCHOOL LAW.

EDITOR PRESS =
In your news column, headed
"Sandyston in Generat", appears
short item in reference 60 bill of
fered i'm the last session of the New
jersey Legislature which did not
pass, but is again TO be introduced i'm
the coming session, for the purpose
of revising the school law.
The item seems to be full of errors.
1t says; "The bill if made law, will
deprive all school Boards of their
powers to appoint or suspend teach
ers, repair or build school houses APP
propriate money, and in fact de-
prives them of their powers"
This is what Senate bill No. 1877
does say: Section 100. "The boards
of education shall have power: /. To
employ and dismiss principals, teach
ers, ianitors, mechanics and labOrers,
and TO fix, alter and order paid their
salaries and compensatiOns."
GIL. TO purchase and improve
school grounds, TO erect, lease, en-
large, improve, repair or furnish
school buildings, TO borrow money
therefor, and to raise money by tax
alton for any such purpose or to pay
debts incurred therefor, or for current
expenses of the school; provided, that
for any such act it shall have the pre-
vious authority of a vote Of the legal
voters of the district"
Their powers are futher defined
under twelve different sub sections
giving them all the powers now
possessed with many additional and
important ones. The item says: "TL e
official appointed by this law can re-
move any lOcal Board of Education,
teacheror principal"
The writer has not been able to
discover this 6ete HOire."
! The item says the "Superlnten-
dent in county is supreme" No
more than under the present law.
The bill contains many new and
desirable changes, the powers o.
local boards have not been curtailed
but largely inereasedand the changes
2 viii greatly aid school officers in theil
work.
The newspaper criticism of thii
bill has been largely of this indefin
ite and unreliable kind. Apparent
ly many of the critics have not tax
en- trouble to read this bill before re
lating its obnoxious feature.
Yours, n. j.

One Hundred Thousand Fruit Tree
In One Orchard.

~ Chp ~ SeA"hNs
There is in the State of North Car
DINA and interesting settlement that
has grown up almost without notice.
Amid the long leaf pines not far from
the capital of the Old North State is
a territory of about six hundred
square miles of what is known as the
high sand hills. The hills are as high
as the hilly lands of the North, but
they are made up of pure white sand
and on them grow sparingly and far
between the tall long leaved pines
that tower a height of sixty to a hun
dred feet. 1t was thought until the
past few years that these lands were
worthless. The remarks used to be
"they were made just to hold the
world together, a crow will take his
ratiOns with him in flying over the
sand hills, it will sprout COW peas on
ly and when sprouting you can hear
them for miles grunting it is hard for
them to sprout," and like express
srOns. But there has come won
derful change on that sections, and
that change has been brought about
by the hand of the Northern man and
his money. The section has been
for many years recognized by physi-
clans to be the best winter resort in
American and they began to send
their patients down there and many
who was suffering fIom chronic dis
eases become well and commenced
experimenting with the soil, some of
them put out fruit trees, some vines,
some vegetables and it soon become
evident that on account of the warm
general climate that was planted and
| fertiized began to thieveand as they
come into bearing it showed a quail
ity that was exceedingly fine. And
from year to year the people have
gone in and bought land until there
are thousands Of acres in fruit, and
during the season from May until
middle of August hundreds of thous-
ands Of tons Of fruit is shipped North,
One orchard alone contains over one
hundred thousand fruit bearing trees
vines and shrubs. All this work has
been done by the Northern people
who were attracted TO this section OF
account of their health, and if one
will stand at the ticket window of the
Old Dominion Steamship Company
in New York any day from NOvem
be, until April, they will see people
from every Northern State buying
tickets to what is known as the yam
kee Settlement, Southern Pines.

Senator Kyle's reasons for deter
mining TO vote for the gold standard
are simply an example of the con-
ditions which are causing many
o her leaders to abandon the silver
cause. He says. "Though l am a
bimetallist and have been so from
conscientious convictions for twen-
ty-five years, would rather take
the most undiluted gold standard
ism than accept bimetallism with
the ingredients of radical socialism
that are now associated with it
We have been practically operating
under the gold standard for thirty
years, and having brought ourselves
into harmony with the monetary
systems of the world, it is a doubt
full proposition whether it is right
to again disturb values in the world
when by such action we do injus-
tice to the creditor class and at the
same time put ourselves out of joint
with the rest of the world"
