TOBACCO NOTES.
The tobacco beds in this section
are fine. Some of our farmers
seem to think they are much
more promising now than they
were last year this time. This We
:are glad to note. This branch OF
farming is steadily gaining ground
in this section. There are few Of
eur farmers who do not plant the
weed and the more they plant 1t
The more familiar they become
with its cultivation and prepara-
,,ion for market. Consequently IT
is getting ia be source OF wealth
TO those who attend to it properly.
Most of our farmers pa'ronlze
the Star Warehouse Of Lake City,
which is under the able manage
ment of Mr.. Hall. 1t is rnmored
1aat Mr.. Hall will retire from the
management of this warehouse,
which is unpleasant news, sener
ally, to our tobacco farmers whose
patronage ke has gained.

Ovster Snail Roads.


Driving, cycling and automoblling
tourists who return from their out
ings on the South Jersey pixies this
summer are unusually enthusiastic in
their praises of these shell roads writes
the philadelphi. Press
The process of constructing these
roads is Of special interest because Of
its simplicity. There is no expense Of
digging out the roadbed and filling it
first with large stones and then with
a smoother top dressing as in the con-
structlon Of a macadamized road. The
shells are simply unloaded from the
boats (which bring them in great guam
titles from nearby oyster fields to
Buena Vista wharf, and are then
carted out along the roads until a hol-
low is found, or any spot that needs
repairing, and are then unceremon-
iously dumped and left without any
process of pounding Oh smoothing, until
broken up and leveled Off by the pass
ing carriages and farm wagons.
In constructing a shell road from the
beginning, load after load Of the oyster
shells are dumped in an irregular bank
all along the centre of the roadway;
then with a road scraper n bank of
earth is thrown up along the edge to
keep the shells from scattering. This
leaves a narrow, smooth space over
which the scraper has passed along
the edge OF the bank of shells; and as
this is used for driving as long rs the
weather is dry, it would seem that the
bank Of sharp shells would never be
driven into smooth, white firmness. But
wait until there is q heavy storm, and
the smooth road at the side becomes a
mass of heavy mud and sand, then
the rough shell bank is gladly mounted,
and although 1t is decidedly rough at
first, the heavy country driving and
carting Of farming produce soon
crushes the shells and forces them into
the rain soaked soil beneath. A second
or third banking Of the shells, scatter
ing them further over the sides Of the
roadbed each time, with this process
repeated, forms roadbed that is hard
and firm TO the depth of foot or more,
and beautifully smooth and white.
When these shell roads extend along
great stretches of pines, with even
rows of cedar and fir trees lining the
roadway (as they do throughout many
parts of New Jersey, one is reminded
of the palm lined drives so alluringly
pictured in views of "our new posses
sions.'

An Easy Messenger Job.

The position Of messenger at the Brit
ish Embassy is a place much sought,
and Is now, for the first time, held by
a colored man. 1t is usually given to
retired soldiers who have proved their
loyalty to the Crown. This qualifica,
ton is deemed essential because of the
responsibility Of the position. All State
papers, secret reports and private docu.
ments are given to the messenger and
he is held responsible for their safe
delivery upon a British vessel either
at New York or at some Canadian
port. Richard Donaldson, now de.
ceased, was the last messenger. He
served twenty years with the British
Army in India, and was appointed mes
senger in recognition of faithful ser.
vice in the field, and his unquestionable
loyalty to the British Government.
The messengers job can be termed
sinecure. Once a week, or, perhaps,
twice or three times week, he goes
to New York, carrying the outgoing
mail and returning with that brought
over on the English vessel. This Is
the extent Of his labors. He is, how.
ever, held strictly accountable for the
safe delivery of the papers. When an
English vessel is scheduled to arrive
he must be on hand with his mail
and turn it over to the purser Of the
vessel, obtaining u receipt therefor.
Then he is given the mail for the
Ambassador and Secretaries, for which
ne receipts. This mail must not leave
his possession until it is placed in the
hands of the Ambassador or the First
Secretary Of the Embassy y.--WashinS-

Solving the Problem .

Cost is now the principal obstacle to
the building of good roads in New
York State, according to State Engi-
neeT Bond. The farmers, who have
the most to gain from improved high
ways, but who have been slow to ap-
preciate this fact are now represented
to be generally in favor Of the move
ment. Applications under the Arm
strong-Hlgble law for road improve
ment are piling up in the State Engi-
neer's Office With a reduction in the
cost Of road building, the State appro-
priation could cover more ground, and
to this problem of a reduced cost Mr..
Bond has been devoting his attention.
He thinks he has found the solution
in the proposed establishment of a
State rock-crushing plant, near Rock
land Lake, across the Hudson from
Sing Sing, where the convicts could
be employed, in converting the trap
rock, abundant there, into road metal.
He regards the location as excellent
for the purpose, and would expect the
returning canal boats to carry loads Of
broken stone up into the State at cheap
rates, rather than to go back light. An
other suggested merit in the idea Is
that it would solve the convlct-labor
problem, so far as Sing Sing Is con-
cerned.-New York Post.

Abandoned Cars.


What becomes Of old tram cars? The
Increasing favor of electric tramways
all over the country, and the conse.
quent sale Of large numbers Of by no
means worn-out "stage carriages" Of
the horse traction type, gives point to
the inquiry. The London United Tram.
ways Company, for instance-at pres.
ent the only electric undertaking in
London-has just sold its old cars at
a nominal price," and 1t appears that
the uses to which they can be and are
put are very numerous indeed. A tram
car that is only technically old can be
turned into a tiny bugalow, or a sum
mer harbor, or worklngman's cot
tage-in the fashion of a dilapldated
railway carriage-or, best of all, 1t
will, when fitted upon a small barge,
make capital, If modest, houseboat.
In the ordinary way, the houseboat is
a luxury Of price, but, on the barge
and tram-car basis, 1t might be brought
within the reach Of all."-London
Chronicle.

South AfrIca's Fruit and climate.

The seasons in South Africa arc
nearly reversed as compared with
those of England, spring commencing
in August, summer in November and
autumn in March, and June and July
are as rule very cool. The climate
Is beautiful. About thirty miles from
Cape Town the train passes through
the heart Of the great Drakenstein
vineyards, the home of the old French
refugees. The Paarl, Wellington, Stel-
lenbosch are ideal villages. The orch
ards are magnificent, and the fruit pro-
duced simply glorious. But the
peaches, apricots, nectarines. figs,
grapes, loquats, oranges, lemons, shad-
docks, apples and pears are brought to
perfection there. Fifty miles more and
the tourist Is in the great fruit-prO-
ducing districts Of Tulbagh and Ceres,
where there Is room for all the fruit
growers in the British Isles to settle
down.-London Globe.

at this minute you ain't near as big a
power here as was down home"
Old Daniel delivered this kind OF a
Oalk so often that he came TO believe
1t himself. Young Dan would listen
smiling to the old tales and say:
"Well, dad, as soon as can get my
business affairs Strengthened out Wen
go, you and me, back to New Manches-

Then the old fellow would puff up
and say: Daniel, you'll open your eyes

And then the old fellow would ram
BILE on into a vague, long yarn about
bis victories as a debater at the "lter-
ary," about his powers as an "argue-
tyer," and about his wide acquaintance
'Oack home" that made young Dan
smile with pride and admiration.
"And as for fighting" the old fellow
would say, swelling his chest, ''why
