The Same Route You Travelled in 81
But a Vastly Improved Road viii
Carry You to Washington In 1902.

The 36th annual encampmentG q. A.
r.. will be held IN Washington Oct,
6th-11th. The B. & y. is a historic
road and became famous during the
civil war. In one of its announce
ments speaking of historic places it
says of Harper's Ferry, the gate of the
Shenandoah valley, where the three
states of Virginia, West Virginia and
Maryland come together; where the
Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers unite
where the towering sleeps of the Blue
Ridge end abruptly, frowning upon
the heights of Maryland and Bolivar
Heights in West Virginia, lies the
quain this torictown of Harper's Ferry.
John Brown baptised it in blood in
1859, when he captured the town and
q. S. Arsenal and made his dnal and
fatal stand in the engine house known
afterwa dis as John Browns Fort),
alongside the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road. A plain shaft, simply inscribed
now marks the location.
Again in 1851, grim visaged war
seized the village and held it tight in
its grasp for nearly four years. The
deeds that were done, and the tales
that are told concerning Harper's Fer
ny FIJI volumes.
The heights at Harper's Ferry
guarded the Shenandoah Valley. 1t
was most important stronghold to
be desired when some great campaign
was planned by either army.
From Harper's Ferry the Shenando-
ali Division OF the Baltimore & Ohio
r. r. extends southwark to Charles
town, Winchester Harrisonburg and
Lexington. Battle fields surround
the village in all directions.

nounced last spring that Joseph Meis-
termann of this city had procured some
ginseng roots with which to expert
ment as to the adaptability of that
valuable plant to our soil and climate.
Upon inquiry this morning Mr.. Mels-
termann states that the ground moles,
or rats, got away with the roots after
they were depredations, hence none
came up. Ginseng is propagated also
from the seed. Not to be thwarted in
his experimental designs, Mr. Melster-
mann procured some seed, which he
placed In a well prepared and pro-
tected bed and is quietly awaiting
their termination, which is not ex-
pected to occur before next spring.
Ginseng is valuable, under favorable
conditions, beyond all other plants per-
haps. 1t is stated, with apparent re-
liability, that a plat not exceeding one
third of an acre, in Michigan, yielded
an income last year of $4,000. The
great consumers of ginseng are the
Chinese, who, it is said, use 1t for every
possible disease. 1t is doubtful IL this
valuable product can be made avail
able in Florida. 1t Is indigenous in
the mountain regions of Georgia and
other states to the north of us, and
effects deep shades and stiff, rich soils.
Possibly our heavy hammocks might
furnish suitable conditions for its sue

crGARMAKEKs AGAIN STRIKE.

The cigarmakers from the Seidenberg
factory at Tampa are out and in trou-
BILE once more, and there is at pres
ent no indication that a peaceable set
tlemen will be brought about They
returned to work a few days ago,
their demands having been granted by
the management, but Saturday night
about seventy-five men were discharg-
ed, which 1t is said ives because they
were looked upon as the agitators. The
cigarmakers discussed the matter, and
many of them refused to return to
work Monday Others held that there
was no cause for another strike. and
that they would return to work. Open
threats were then made by some hot
heads that IL the men returned to work
there would be serious trouble. 1t was
reported that the men who were dis
charged would be on hand and compel
the workmen to leave by force. The
manager of the factory heard the
threats, which were currently reported
and applied to the chief of police for
protection. Accordingly, Monday
morning at 4 O'Clock Chief Jones, Capt
Carter, two lieutenants and fourteen
patrolmen went to the factory and sur
rounded the building. Early in the
morning small groups Of men appear
ed and went into the factory No trou-
BILE Of any kind occurred, and at s
O'Clock the police left their positions,
only few patrolmen remaining on

Oranges are we'll grown, but have not

they are so sour, but purchasers say
that they are compelled to commence
early in order to get the crop in and
distribute them properly without hav-

to get his oranges off the trees rather

In addition she has quite a quantity
