Cause of Railroad Wrecks.

A new cause for railroad wrecks
has been discovered in the monster
locomotives that are now being used
so extensively by all railroads. While
being hauled from their places of
building to the roads for which they
are intended it has been ascertained
that the giant engines have been
playing havoc with the track of the
lines over which they have passed
Reports have been received showing
where the unconnected drivers of the
monsters have pounded the rails sc
hard that the latter have been broken
and others have been so badly in.
jured that they have snapped under
the pressure of following trains.
Superintendent, road masters and
others who have reported ON the mat.
ter are of the opinion that not a few
of the recent wrecks that have been
attributed to defective track may
now be traced to brokenor injured
rails resulting from the Transports
ton of these engines in an unfinished
state. The trouble has become sc
serious that an order was issued by
the Rock Island road requiring al

side rods in position and coupled.

A trick learned in school days of
writing down what is to be memorized
is available here to establish in the
mind the different points to be covered:
The purpose or use of the room, the
color and kind of woodwork, the
amount of light in the room, the color
that harmoniZes best with the floor
coverings and furniture, the wall colors
Of adjacent rooms, the price to be paid
and the number of rolls required.
A coved or dome ceiling should be
painted in water colors (another name
for calcimine) and the color carried
down over the curve to point where
a wooden molding can be run in an
even line entirely around the room.
The uneven ceiling in low rooted
houses or cottages sometimes renders
this line Of holding impra cticable. A
way to meet this difficulty is both
novel and pretty. Cover the ceiling

no border, no frieze, ceiling tint or pic

a feature of the summer fruit shown

The New Raspberry-Blaclx of
European Origin.
The careful experiments in hybridiz-

ried on by the late E. S. Carman did
not result in varieties of commercial

attempts to unite the characteristics of
these useful fruits until Judge J. II.

Raspberries winter best in some
parts of the country when the tips of
the canes are covered with earth and
rooted fast This establishes ground
connections with many of the canes
that would otherwise evaporate the
moisture from the plants and reduce
vitality. The same is true of grape
vines.

Rurhank,s Shasta Daisy.

Perhaps the most startling example
of great increase in size in a hybrid
among Burbank's creations is his Shas-
ia daisy, says the New York Herald.
There is little doubt that this wonder
full flower will soon become one of the
most popular of our cultivated bios
SONS. The Shasta is a daisy with a
yellow center surrounded by several
rows of thick white petals. 1t meas
ures at least four inches in diameter
and stands upon stem which is long
and thick, like that of the sunfiower.
1t is described as being hardy flower
and a profuse bloomer and for this rea-
son will become a favorite in modest
garden plots.
This daisy represents single strain,
selected and improved out of thou
sands of hybrids produced. In making
1t common daisy of the east it was
first crossed by an English daisy. The
hybrid thus obtained was again crossed
by daisy from Japan. In the same
way our orchids, roses, pansies and
chrysanthemums have been crossed
and recrossed until it is frequently i'm.
possible to determine their origin. and
to this extensive hybridiZation we are
indebted for almost all their beautiful
forms of today. Burbank has lately
grown some remarkable forms of the
amaryllis which have not vet been in
troduced. He has also red California
poppy.

Wind Damage to shrubs and Plants

Wind Damage to Shrubs and Plants.
Intelligent observers in this country
have found that the wind does more
damage in the winter than the cold.
Shrubs and plants that can ordinarily
withstand much chill may become win
ter killed when suffering only moder-
ate degree of cold if accompanied by
wind. Many wrap hay and buriap
around plants, but this does not always
keep out the wind. A modern inven-
ton consists of a wide board, sharp
ened and driven down beside the plant
on the side toward the prevailing
winds, which in this country faces the
southwest. The branches are gathered
and tied to the board. Hay and burlap
can then be used in the customary way.

HOT WAVE IN THE WEST.

Charlotte Observer.
Omaha, April 2O.-To day was the
hottest April day in Is years. The
thermometer at D. M, reached SIS de-
gress, the previous record being 81.
The intense heat was more oppressive
owing to the excessive cold weather ex-
perienced up to Saturday night, over
coats being required for comfort dur
ing the past week. The torrid tenn per-
allure was responsible tor several at
tscks of illness, two occurring in one
church during the day. A continual
ton of the hot weather will prove dan
gerous to growing grain.
Kansas City, April 2O.-The highest
temperature to-day was 81 degrees. A
furious hot wind such as might be look
ed for in August, was blowing.
Topeka, Kan, April 20.-A dry hot
wind has swept over Kansas since early
morning, dong much damage to vege-
talon OF all kinds. Some reports say
the wind has..done incalculable harm to
wheat. Unless rain shall come within
two days this wheat crop will amount
TO very little. The ground is becoming
dry and hard.

OPPOsEDTO PRIMARIES.

| EDITOR COMMON WEALTH There Is
no doubt that large number OF DEM
ocrats in NorthCarolina are opposed to
the selection of Senator Pritchard's
successor by the primary plan. Born
conservative, being the last OF her SIS
ter states except Rhode Island to enter
the Union after the Articles OF Con-
federation we're found to be inadequate
to meet tina exi2encies Of the case and
] a new Constitution was deemed necces-
sary, she has seldom departed from her
original conservatism.
1t is provided in this constitution
that it requires three-fourths OF the leg
islatures of all the states to amend or
repeal one of its clauses or provisions
with one exception and one only, viz:
That the legislatures OF ali the states
shall be required to amend or repeal
the constitutional provision that the
legislatures of The various states shall
elect the senators. In other words the
only irrepcalabie clause Of the Consti-
tuition OF the United States is that
every state legislature shall elect two
senators. Since our forefathers who
debated it and considered it wisdom
to thus make the fundamental law so
binding as to require unanimous con-
sent of all the states to change or alter
it, should we not go little slow in
undo'ng what they have done? Have
we not grown into great power under
it? Should we do indirectly what is
not permitted to be done directly?
1t is mistake to think the people
can be flattered by imposing upon
them this responsibility, this duty,
when it is at the expense and over
throw of great principle. Senators
are answerabIe to the states and derive
their e.ectionfrom the states, while the
people elect the members Of the lower
house OF Congress and these are ans
werable to the people. A United
States Senator must be thirty years old
while member of Congress need be
only twenty-five, representing the in
telligence and goodness and even also
the youthfulness OF the people.
This county will send senator and
two members OF the house. to the next
general assembly. They will be the
select from us, capable of electing
a good man to the Senate Of the United
States from North Carolina. Let US
entrust this duty to them, our repre-
sentatlyes from this county. We have
recently had some experience in SEN
atorial primary and it is believed that
these are the sentiments of very large
; number Of our people.

The Charlotte Observer in noting

years of age. His fathers estate was

the plan Of raising home supplies, and
1t is very seldom he buys any meat,
corn or forage. He makes all three oil

riskiDg all on any one crop. As a re-
suit OF this system Mr.. Neville is in
easy circumstances, having to borrow
no money, and while it is hard to esti.

is certainly worth $1,000 to $4,000
