ON THE RIGHT LINE.

In our dispatches yesterday it was
stated that the Commissioners of Agri-
culture of Southern States, in session
at Hot Springs, Ark, discussed "Vir-
ginia apples" at their meeting on
Tuesday. The subject is one that ought
to be brought to the attention of the
people of this state and several OF the
other Southern States. Some of the
very best varieties of apples to be found
in the world are from Virginia orch
ards. There is no better apple than the
Albemarle Pippin. 1t is said that sew
eral barrels of this variety are sent to
the royal family of England every year
from one of the Virginia orchards.
There are of course other excellent
varieties grown in Virginia and other
states. The best appearing and fin
est favored apples displayed at the
Atlanta Exposition a number of years
ago were from orchards situated on
the slopes OF the Ozark Mountains in
Arkansas.
What we wish to say is that in the
Southern States not nearly as much at
tention is given in the production of
the fine varieties of apples as there
ought to be. In this state, for in
stance, there are comparatively few
apples of the best varieties grown. And
yet there is no soil or climate any
where better suited to the production
of apples than that in Middle and
North Georgia.
In those sections a great deal of at
tention is now being given to the pro-
duction of peaches. and the returns
which the peach growers are receiving
are very gratifying, but we venture
| to say that better results could be OBJ
tanned from the best varieties of APP
pies, provided equal care were given
to the trees and the harvesting of the
| fruit
1t is seldom that apples of Georgia
! growth are sold in this city, and yet
the amount of that fruit consumed
here must be very large. The same is
true no doubt in respect to other Geor-
gia cities. The best apples were sell
ing here this week at IS per barrel.
An apple orchard in this state, con-
tanning trees of the finest varieties
would be the very best kind of prop
erty one could have. The apple cror
seldom fails and the demand for APP
pies is nearly always good at profit
able prices.
The Commissioner of Agriculture OF
this state should encourage. in every
possible way, the planting OF apple
orchards. And he should impress up
on farmers the importance of planting
only the best varieties and of taking
as much care of the trees as they take
] of their corn or cotton.

MIR. sHEPARD,s AMBITION.

! The thought has been thrown out
| that Edward NJ. Shepard would not
have accepted the Tammany nominal
| ticn for Mayor of New York city if he
were not ambitious of becoming Presi-
dent. Those who have expressed this
view of Mr.. Shepard's course say that
he proposes to make so good a mayor
that his party will make him Governor
of New York, and that then he will
seek the Office of President.
No one who knows Mr.. Shepard
doubts his ability, but 1t is question
able whether he can so administer the
Office of Mayor of New York city as
to make it the stepping stone to the
governorship.
He is Tammanys candidate, and If
elected, will be surrounded by Tam
many influences. 1t is true that he may
break away from Tammany leaders
and administer the mayorality in ac-
cordance with his own views, but he
will find it extremely difficult to do
that. The men who nominated him,
and who will elect him, if he is elected,
will insist upon being recognized. If
Mr.. Shepard shows a disposition to
throw them over he will be charged
with ingratitude and will have the en-
nifty of the entire Tammany organiza-
ton.
1t is true that in his address accept
ing the nomination he said pretty
plainly that he did not intend to apollo
gise for anything he had said against
Tammany and that it was his purpose
to reform the abuses of which there
had been so much complaint, but win
he be able to carry out this pro-
gramme?
Doubtless he thinks he will or he
would not have accepted the nominal
ton, but those who understand the sit
uation believe he has undertaken a
task that Is much more difficult than
he thinks IL is. They would
not be surprised If he should fail in
carrying out his purpose respecting the
Mayors office and also in reaching
greater political prominence.
1t is worthy of notice that there is
rot so much uneasiness among the
people of New York regarding the
mayoralty as there was a week or so
ago. They feel that the next mayor
will be an honest and capable man
whether Mr.. Shepard or Mr.. Low is
elected. Each is running as an indie
pendent, though it is well understood
that Mr.. Shepard is a Democrat and
Mr.. Low a Republican.
The contest will be a notable one.
The election is only four weeks away,
but in those four weeks there will be
crowded an immense amount Of cam
paigning.
There are some signs at present that
Tammany will not give Mr.. Shepard
an enthusiastic support, but after its
members get over their disappointment
resulting from his nomination 1t is
probable that they will do the best
they can for their ticket. They would
rather have Mr.. Shepard at the head
of the city government than a man
known to be bitterly hostile to their
organization

"A to ssExents.p

The easiest thing in the world is to
drop into slang, says the New York
Press. The hardest thing for writers
is to prevent words of character and
individuality from going down hill,
from being overworked in improper
places and by that means losing caste.
Such is the case with events" ! once
knew an able teacher who would ex-
claim when the word was carelessly
used: Remember always that there
have been only a few events in the
entire history of the world; perhaps not
more than a score. A horse race is not
an event a pigeon shoot is not an
event a football game is not an
event an ordinary Presidential cleo
ton is not an event although it may
be marked by an event Permit me
to impress upon you the belief that
only occurrences of extraordinary im-
portance are events Please quit be-
lifting the word. 1t is of higher or
der than occurrence, incident and cir
cumstance"

There arrived in New York harbor
the other day from Belgium the steam
ship Southwark, laden entirely with
bay trees and towering plants, the
latter being mostly orchids and aza-
leas. They were for the New York mar
ket. The prices they will fetch will
be sufficiently large to yield a consid-
cradle profit to the importers after all
expenses are paid. The flowers nd
plants are in anticipation of the holt
day decorating season. We do not
know, of course, what especial ad-
vantage the soil and climate of Bel
GUM offers for the raising of bay
trees, orchids and azaleas, but on gen.
eral principles we are inclined to the
opinion that Florida, and probably
Georgia also. can produce as fine and
fancy bay trees and Towering plants
as Belgium or any other country. We
have before remarked upon what seems
to us 10 be a good opening for enter
prise in this section, in raising shrubs,
flowers, flower seed and bulbs for the
Northern market.

The Earl and the solder of Fortune

Mr.. Frederic w. Unger, in his new
book, With 'Bobs' and Kruger"
which is to be published soon, tells an
interesting story of a meeting between
Lord Rosslyn, who was then a prison.
er in the hands of the Beers, and the
noted Colonel Blake, an Irish American
commanding the famous Irish Brigade
in the Boer army. Mr.. Unger says
Lord Rosslyn then asked me to
bring Col. Blake to call on them; but
as / was ignorant of that doughty war
riors opinion of British aristrocracy, l
could only say l would do the best in
my power to induce him to call After
dinner / mentioned the fact to Col.
Blake that | had called on the prison
ers upstairs, and that they had asked
me to bring him in to see them. He
looked rather blankly at me until l adj
ded, They seem to be under the inn
preston that you are some impossible
sort of a swashbuckler, and l would be
very glad if you would go up with me
and let them see what sort of a man
you really are. That was enough.
" Where's this room? he asked,
starting up the stairway ahead of me.
OF course I'll go up to see them, and
you'll see that 1 know just how to talk
to them, too When we entered the
while shaking hands, by saying:
-" 1 want you gentlemen to know the
notorious Colonel Blake, as that
wretched rag. the Cape Times. has call
ed me- We spent the entire evening
with the distinguished prisoners, and
the Earl and Col. Blake found that they
had been opposite each other during a
number of engagements near Lady
smith, which gave their conversation
a unique and interesting favor. Lord
Rosslyn also wanted to know how he
could recover fifty thousand pounds
damages from my American paper,
which he said had libeled him in a
most outrageous manner, picturing him
as a ballet-dancer some years before,
when he had taken part in private
theatricals. AS he said
I don't mind the picture so much;
but what l base my claim for damages
on is that the paper said that my dane
ing was so bad that the audience hiss
ed me off the stage This seemed to
annoy him greatly, though he did not
mind our laughing at him about it. 1t
then transpired, curiously enough, that
Col. Blake had been present at this
very performance at Queens Hall, in
London, and that started the two off
notwithstanding again at a great
rate -

Wanted Binoculars in Pearls.

She intended to go to the yacht races.
says the New York Tribune. She wore
a dark blue yachting cap and one of
those dresses which come in the fash
ion plates under the head of sailor
suits. She had quartermaster's
stripes on the white sleeves of the
jacket and she had a Shamrock pinned
on the lapel of her coat. OF course,
she was going to the yacht races.
If you want further proof, she en-
tered a store which deals in nothing
but marine and hunting glasses. There
were many people there before her, for
the international cup races create a
terrible demand for binoculars. Pres
emily her turn came.
II want to get a set of magnifying
glasses for use at sea- she said to the
clerk. you see, I'm going to go to
the yacht races"
1--WE have almost every kind of a
marine glass there is on the market, p"
replied the clerk, as he placed some fine
binocular glasses before her.
IT don't like these leather covered
ones" said the woman. Haven't you
any in mother of pearl"
well, I'll have to take one of these, "
she said, as the clerk denied all knowl-
edge of mother of pearl. How much
are they?"
They run from $40 to $751;" he an
swered quickly. (Which pair will it
be-"
Heavens, man. what an awful price!
l have never paid more than IS for
opera glasses. l don't own a yacht,
you know; I'm just going to see the
races. She looked at the clerk hard,
and his returning glance as much as
said, This is no bargain counter"
why didn't 1 think of it before!'
she exclaimed. II can use my oper a
glasses. Don't you think they will
do?'
The clerk was sure they would if the
excursion boats got near enough, and
she decided to risk them.

The percentage of anarchists in
Spring Valley, Ill, is said to be larger
than in any other municipality in this
country. OF total population of 1000
there are more than 500 anarchists.
OF these 100 are said to be French and
the remainder Italians. Spring Val
ley is a mining community The aver
age wages paid the miners for an
eight-hour days work is about $2.75.
The coal company does not run a
company store" and the men are paid
off in cash. The men own their own
houses or have been offered them on
easy terms Each house has its garden
and the streets are kept clean. Under
such circumstances it would seem that
Spring Valley would not be a good
lodging place for anarchy. Spring Val
ley must be the exception to the rule
that anarchism flourishes in squalor
and poverty.

A Mobile paper reports that colony
OF German farmers is to be planted in
Escambia county. Alabama, at an ear>
ly day. 1t is. to be hoped that this
will prove merely the beginning of a
movement OF German agriculturists
into this section of the country. Here
tofore most of these desirable immi-
grants have gone West, until there is
an atmosphere of Deutschland" about
Chicago. Milwaukee and some other of
the Western cities and towns. We
would like to see some hundred thou
sands of them come into Georgia,
where there is abundant room and
land for them. The Germans make
good citizens and good neighbors. and
after they have lived here a short
while they become as good Americans
as are those native TO the soil.

The recurring rumor that the German
Emperor will challenge for the Amer
ica's cup makes il look as If there were
something in it. First the rumor was
heard from London. and now IL comes
from Berlin. According to the Berlin
version, the Kiel Yacht Club will be
the challenging organization. 1t is
sincerely to be hoped there is good
ground for the report. A spirited con-
test in friendly rivalry for the blue rib
bon OF the sea would do much TO bring
the people Of Germany and the United
states into closer relations. And that
the contest would be spirited, should
the Emperor determine 20 be a chal-
lenger, goes without saying. The Ger

At last the inevitable comparison has
come. Admiral Schley is the Ameri-
can Dreyfus The Chicago Tribune, a
Republican journal, says so. But for
a conspiracy to degrade and ruin a
French officer" it says, there would
have been no rreyfus case. Would
there have been a Schley case had there
not been an equally knavish conspiracy
to wreck the reputation of a gallant
American officer?" That is pretty
strong language. Who are the "knav-
ish conspirators?' Who are the Amer
lean du Patty de Clam, Henry and Es-
terhazy? Let the Tribune point them
out and pillory them to public scorn.

Students in the sixth grade in the
public schools of Asheville, N. c., are
required TO "use freely stories from
the lives of great men and women-as
Washington, Franklin, Jackson, Lin
coin, Grant, John Brown, Lee, Jack
son (Stonewall) Edison, Audubon,
Longfellow, etc" They must have a
queer head to the school system in
Asheville; evidently a man not a ma
tive, or one who knows nothing about
the history of his country and cares
nothing about the sentiment and SEN
sibilities of the Southern people. If
John Brown is to be held up to the
school children of Asheville as one of
the great men OF America, why should
Jesse James and Brigham Young be
left off the list? Brown was an out
law and murderer; so was James
Brown was an advocate of advanced"
ideas; so was Brigham Young. and so
