The apple has not, however,

orchards of so or 100 trees were
the average planting. The APP

family use than for commercial

Sections Adapted to Apple
Growing.


Although the apple may be
grown over very wide range
OF country more or less suited
10 its cultivation, there are Ger.
tain districts especially adapt
ed to its successful growth.
For instance. the elevated por.
ton of southern Missouri and
/ northern Arkansas. known as
the Ozark region, and the ele-
waited portions of North Carroll
IA and Virginia, where similar
conditions exist, are striking
examples. The New Ingland,
Middle, and some of the Yves.
tern States are especially favor
able for producing line crops of
this fruit Of highest quality, and
certain sections of idaho, Colo
RADIO, Oregon, and Washing ton
are rapidly coming to the front
in successful orcharding. In-
deed, there is not a State in the
Union in which the apple, in
some OF its varieties, may not
be successfully grown. In ad-
dltion to soil and climate the
proximity 10 transportation by
railroads and water routes is an

cial purposes.
Site and Soil Suitable to Apple
Growing.
In the selection of site for
apple growing, the injurious eff,
fects OF exposure to intense
heat and cold should be guard
ed against as far as practicable.
This may in part be accom-
plished by selecting a northern
or eastern slope which is quite
safe against the direct rays of
the sun. The site, if possible,
should be elevated above its i'm.
mediate surroundings, so as to
give free air drainage and also
ward off late spring frosts which
often kill the fruit germs in
blooming time.
The apple may be grown on
almost any soil, but the best re.
suits are obtained on soils from
" hiCh native forests have been
cleared. Here the physical CON
ditiOns are such as to afford
both ample surface drainage
and subdrainage, and the soils
are well supplied with the va

cations may be successfully /
used if the soils receive the nee 4
essary preparation before plant
ing and careful cultivation at

Clay soils require more labor
in their preparation, and often
need manuring and frequent cul-
tivation and subsoiling. The
soil should be frequently stirred
during the summer months, and
especially during continued
trOuths. Certain varieties Of
apples, like Rome Beauty, sue
ICED best on sandy soils, but
such lands require fertilizers to
Keep the trees in vigorous
growth. The wood growth on
oamy soils will be strong and

Jlay lands do not produce such

1906 Negroes Killed in Panic Caused
by Supposed Cry of dire"

A terrible catastrophe took place at the
national convention of negro Baptists in
the Shiloh church In Birmingham, Ala,
Friday evening. when 105 negroes were
killed and many others MANNED in n wild
panic. caused by fear of fire. There
were upwards of 2000 people in the church
and Booker T. Washington had just fin
ished his address when a negro lawyer
from Baltimore and the choir leader dis
puted over an unoccupied seat. and IL is
said blow was struck. The cry OF
fight fight" followed and was mistaken
for fire" and instantly large part of
the audience were panic stricken and in
full stampede toward the exits. Many
people tainted. fell to the floor and were
crushed to death by those who trampled
upon them. The long flights of steps at
the entrance of the church. surrounded
by stone walls. were verltable death
traps. Negroes who reached the top of
the steps were thrown forward, others
fell upon them. and in a moment human
beings were piled upon each other to a
height Of 10 feet struggling wildly in
their efforts TO eXtrcate themselves. This
wall blocked the entrance. and the
weight of 1900 persons in the body OF the
church was pushed against II. More
than 20 persons lying on the steps under
meath the heap died from suffocation. II
was more than an hour before quiet was
fully restored. and the work OF removing

The Most Successful Liquor Law.
Randolph Herald and News. ]

Personally. we should like to see a
scheme of state control of the traffic
similar to the dispensary plan tried, but
IL would be untlmely now. Such n sys-
tenn could not be given a fair trial before
the voters would be called upon to choose
between II and local option, under the
referendum program. and the chances
are 1t would be Overwhelmingly repudiat-
ed then. The unmistakable demand is
for chance to choose between the pro-
hibitory and local option systems, and
while this demand exists we feel that Il
would be futile to inject palliative pro-
posals in the nature of experiments.
The most successful liquor law what
ever its name. Is the law that is endorsed
and sustained by the largest possible
number of people. IT, after a local OPP
ton act Is passed. it is accepted by the
voters in preference to prohibition, no
believer In our form of government can
maintain that some other system should
prevail until such time as sentiment
changes and prohibition or a different
system has popular support on its side.
Nor will local option. If It comes. mean
an end of agitation and discussion. The
defects of that system will be revealed in
their true light. If they are as serious
as we now believe them to be. 1t will not
be long ere local option will have to bow
to the supreme mandate and make way
for some other regulative plan Indeed,
Wnen tne act itselt Us submitted, When
It's provisions are scanned and its weak
points laid bare. when local option has
to defend itself instead of acting the ag-
gressor. 1t may not find the people so
receptive as they have been while prohi-
bition has been under the cudgel. But
whatever the choice made, 1t shall have
our endorsement as the system having
the support of the public behind It. and
therefore the most satisfactory and eff
fective of systems. as long as conditions
continue unchanged.

David 3. Hill.

There Is no more interesting figure in
New York state politics today than
David B. Hill. He entered public life more
than 20 years ago. He has been a lead
er of his party for 20 years. He is now
the leader. No other New York poll
ucian, except Plat, has passed through
greater changes of fortune than he. In
1892 he was the choice of the state dele
CATION for President; but Cleveland's
star was in the ascendant and Hill was
overwhelmed in the national convention
TWO years later nomination for Cow
ernor was forced upon him. and he was
beaten by 10000 votes. In 1897 he retir-
ed from the Senate, and has since been
out of office. AS Cleveland passed of
the stage of politics. two other men
crossed Hills path of political advance
ment. The rise of Bryan stopped his
progress In national politics. and the
power of Croker nearly broke him in the
state. In the national convention of
1900 Hill was cheered but Bryan ruled.
In the state convention of the same year
Hill was present. but Croker dictated the
nomination, and organized the state
committee. But time works it's chang
es This year finds Hill in undisputed
command OF the party organization in
the state Croker, Murphy and others
who have opposed and overruled In other
years are now out of power. Mr.. Cleve-
land has come forth from his honorable
retirement only to attend public meet
Ing with Hill and to lead in the demon
stration of applause that greeted Mr.
Hill In national politics Hill is able
to make combinations that will probably
give him great power in the convention
OF 1904. Thus, after many years, he
finds himself again holding the helm of
his party in the state. and he is reaching
for leadership in the nation. At 60
years of age. therefore. Mr.. Hill is the
survivor of many opposing ambitions
the survivor. even, of his own colossal
blunder in the Maynard case, and the
politicians are watching with undis-
guised interest to see what will be the
developments in his career in the next two
years.

COUNTY COURT.

Myron ]. Pike, Administrator, VS.
Hoosac Tunnel & Wilmington Rail-
road company.
In this case the jury returned a
verdict Monday evening for plaintiff
to recover $500 damages for the death
of Bion Pike while brakeman in the
service of defendant company in Nov,
1901. Pike was ordered to set out
box car at Nottingham station and
climbed down from the top of the car
while it was in motion and uncoupled
it. In attempting to get back he fell
under the wheels. The ladder by
which the top of the car was reached
was on the side of the car, near the
end, instead of on the end as the law
requires. There was also a defective
step. This made 1t more difficult to
secure firm footing after the work of
uncoupling, the plaintiff claimed, the
defects named being the cause of the
accident. The defendant claimed that
Pike was addicted to the use of liquor,
and was partly intoxicated when he
met his death. A bottle of liquor
was found under the body when lifted
out from beneath the wheels. The
defendant claimed that Pixies partly
intoxicated condition was the entire
cause of the accident. The case was
ably argued on both sides. Chase and
