amusement for the spectators. He
a over and knocked down the
driver and made a dash for the
crowd on the sidewalk and would
have injured someone if the rope had
not got caught around a telephone
pole and stopped his wild career.
He then lay down on the sidewalk
and it took fully a half hour to get
him up. When he did get up he
struck the ground running, carrying
the driver with him and if he has
notstopped he has probably reached
the seashore ahead of the A. & n. G..
passenger train.
No small part Of the calamity cry
ing in this country is the force of
habit. In many respects the condition
of things generally is more encourag-
ing now than for a quarter of cen
fury, and yet the chronic grumbler
is still at large. Not so much so as a
few years ago, for even with the
croaker there is such a thing as
shame. If one-half the time which is
now consumed in mourning over
things was put into producing some
thing useful to the public the coun-
try at large would be far better off.
Goldsboro in this good year 1902 has
made greater progress than in any
previous year in her history-and we
still go forward.
Everybody in Goldsboro is look
ing forward with pleasant anticipa-
ton to the Elks' Carnival and Street
Fair, which is scheduled to come off
from the Goth to the 25th of October.
Besides the hotels and boarding
houses which are alreadymaking ex-
tensive preparations to accommodate
a multitude of people, private fam
lilies are also arranging to entertain
relatives and friends who will take
advantage of the low rate on the
railroads to pay back a visit. The
merchants and business men gener.
ally realize the advantage the earn.
ival will bring them and they are
subscribing literally TO the fund to
defray the expenses of advertising
and SO on: The Carnival will be
the biggest thing that Goldsboro has
had.
In the course of a season a great
many plays come and go. Summing
them up and placing them in three
different classes we would say: There
are some we hope will never visit u:
again, then there is another class
whose coming or remaining away
would cause us no alarm. The thirC
class consists of the real play tt
which we r always happy to ex
tend a welcome. True, there are no
many in this latter class, but there
are some and perhaps most conspicu
GUS among them is "Reaping tn
Harvest. "This charming play visitet
us last season and it left a mos
pleasant memory in it's wake. Thos
who were fortunate enough to attent
the performance felt they had en-
Ijoyed a treat such as is seldom theil
pleasure to receive. The merit o
this really great play is now wei
known and it is safe to say that tn
Opera House will be taxed to its ut
most capacity Thursday ~evenin:
next when this, the purest, sweetes
and most powerful blending O
laughter and tears will be offered.

Andrew A. Soule, of Kentucky, says:
There is a degree of difference in the
hardihood of the various winter cere-
ais which is not generally recognized.
Rye and wheat are more generally and
successfully cultivated than any of
the other cereals because of this fact.
Winter oats and barley are more deli
cate in nature and that probably ac-
counts for the Indifferent success met
with in their culture on the farm.
While these crops may succeed when
sown quite late in the season, it is
very important that they be seeded
early-from the first to the middle of
September. 1t is true that they often
succeed sown as late as the middle of
October, but the chances of failure are
greatly enhanced by late seeding, and
the loss of the seed and the crop to-
gether is too great risk to incur. If
winter rye is desired for a fall and
winter pasture, it is necessary that it
be sown from the middle of August
to the middle of September. 1t can
often be sown in the corn field after
the last cultivation and as it makes a
quick and vigorous growth, furnishes
an excellent pasture from October I'M
I'll Christmas, or through the entire
winter If the season is mild.

Listing corn is a practice that has
grown up mainly in the last ten years.
1t is OF little value in the humid states.
but has proved serviceable in the semi
arid regions. especially where the
lands are light. In Kansas and Ne
braska are sections where the soil dries
out very quickly after blowing. The
heavy and continuous winds blow the
soil after IL rs dry, and when rain
does not come Immediately after the
seed Is sown. the seed is not infre.
quently blown away with the topmost
layers OF dirt This led to the evolu-
tion of the practice of listing. Listing
is to place the seed in the soil without
a general blowing. The top soil Is left
undisturbed for the most part. and the
high winds are unable to blow the
soil away as it Is packed solid from
the rains OF the previous season. A
lister is a pillow that turns the soil both
ways and deposits the seed corn in the
farrow behind IT, allowing tho dirt to
fall at the same time over the dropped
seed. It's use must depend on the con
ditions under which the farmer exists.

Plum Orchards.

Prof. F. A. Waugh says: When
Henry Ward Beecher was editor OF a
column of horticultural notes in the
Western Farmer and Gardener of In
dianapolis, Indiana. that is to say
about the year 1850,-he wrote these
words: "A few plum trees will SUI
flee for private family. and the fruit
must be earned by careful watchful-
ness plum orchards are not to
be thought Of" Nevertheless, extern
sive plum orchards are now fruiting in
many parts Of North America,-on the
Pacific coast, In Texas, Iowa, New
York, Ontario. Many more are being
planted. The plum is also a garden
tree, and peculiarly suited to the small
home fruit garden, either on the city
lot or in the farmyard. Plum trees in
the garden, however, demand precise
ly the same treatment that they do in
large orchards
Plums will not grow on solid rock,
but they will succeed on any kind of
soil. Professor Bailey has remarked
ShoeJ AN@Ab W tAO eiPPANt bhC 41dA OPCdu
plum, Prunus domestica, has probably
the most generalized adaptability to all
sorts Of soils of any known tree. Then
when we take into account the jap
anese plums and all the various Amer
lean species with their wide DIVERSE
ties Of adaptation. we have a selection
Of plants to cover the whole range of
soils.
The Domestica and Damson plums
are generally said to grow best on
rather heavy clay loan; at least they
do not do their best on light, sandy
soils. A heavy clay loan need not
be wet and cold; and if it is well
drained and comparatively warm, It
forms an ideal soil for the European
races Of plums. The Japanese prefer
rather lighter soils.

The percentage Of Baldwins is not
ably reduced in Massachusetts, which
has been the principal New England
producer of this variety. In Vermont
the proportion OF Baldwins is greater
among newly planted trees than in old
orchards; but this has little signid-
canoe, since Baldwin has never been

LAID THE BLAME ON THE GOD PAN.
Ancient Greeks Had Ingenious ExpIana-

Ancient Greeks Had Ingenious Explsna-
tion for Fear.
We use the word panic, or panic fear,
for a needless or ill-grounded fright.
What Marshal SAKE terms lie occur hui
main, is no other than fear occasioned
by surprise. 1t Is owing to that cause
that an ambush is generally SO de-
structive; intelligence OF it beforehand
renders 1t harmless. The following
curious relation speaks of the origin
of the term.

being made or threatened, would take
upon them to dispense and fly for

baggage, throwing away their arms,
running over hill and dale for days
and nights, till their legs and their
fright wore out together.
"As they were philosophers enough
to know that there could be no act
without motive, they excused them
selves on these occasions by saying,
that the god Pan, shaggy and ven
cradle person, with goats feet, had
appeared to them, and that it conse-
quently became them, as pious persons,
to do their utmost to break their
necks in a fright; hence the phrase,
panic terror.-Mirror.

Broom corn is a cash CROP" and,
like other cash crops. has it's favorable
and unfayorable features. Its cultiva-
ton on very large scale is seldom
successful, but if properly handled on a
small scale. say from fifteen to twenty
Eve acres for the average farmer, and
especially on new land where the va
riety of sure crops is limited, it will
prove to be as paying as almost any
crop that can be raised. Oklahoma
has early seasons and can market the
brush early in the season, when the
highest price is usually paid, and for
that and other reasons should easily
become a great source of the natior's
supply of broom corn.
