WHEN HE DID BETTER.
The Sin Of Commission as comsa~d
With Omission.


With Omission.
Bishop Whittle," said one Of the
Virginia prelate's friends, sat
through a long and atrocious sermon
on a hot summer morning In 1898.
With an immoyable countenance he
listened to metaphors that were
mixed, pathos that was bathos, and
humor that was sad. The preacher
was a youth just out of college-a
very conceited youth. He beloved
through his sermon at the top of his
lungs. His gestures we're violent
enough to break his arms. At every
climax he fixed the bishop with his
eye. to see If a suitable impression
had been made
And at the end Of the service this
young snip staggered up to Bishop
Whittle and said:
I fancy l did rather well to-day,
sir. Don't you think SOP
Yes returned the bishop, but
you did better last year
Last year!' said the young man.
Why, didn't preach at all last year.
That's the reason, said the bishop
with pleasant SMILE"

CARRIED OUT HIS PLANS.
Last Request Of Dying Man Was
Obeyed by His Children.


A millionaire had died. There had
been great apparent grief among those
who had been most substantially re-
membered. And some real-for-sure re-
greet among those who had expected to,
but hadn't got dollar.
The funeral was over. The million
aires sons had gathered for confer
ence. Among the pet plans Of the old
mans declining days was magnifi-
cent palace on whose style of CON
'struction he had disagreed with every
other member of the family.
you will remember" said the eld-
est son, choking back his emotion
wonderfully well, 'that it was the last
request that we carry out every plan
ne had made regarding the new house.
yes" they groaned in chorus.
well I have arranged that it be
done"
Thereupon he piled all the plans OF
his fathers architect into a large
wastebasket and bore them triumph
antly out to the rubbish bin in the
back alley.
Il may say truthfully that 1T is g
pleasure to carry out the plans. even
though we disagreed in their forming,
replied the young man as he returned
with the empty basket.

There is an eyer-increasing demand
for hickory, chestnut and walnut Ium-
Der. The supply of these trees is very
short indeed, and the price that good
one will bring increases from year to
year. 1t is altogether probable THAI
the price paid for such lumber fifty
years from now will be very much in
advance Of the price paid now. 1t is
therefore suggested by men who have
looked the ground over pretty thor
oughly that it would be a good invest
ment to plant quite heavily of these
trees now where land is unsuited to
general farming purposes. That there
Is an abundance of such land we ali
know, for we see it here and there
bearing only serubby growths Of diff
rerent kinds Of trees Of small value.
If trees are to be grown at all, why
not grow valuable ones. Besides, the
nuts Of some Of these trees have soma
value in the market.
We realize that it is difficult to grow
chestnuts in all situations. The tree
seems to be one that viii do well only
where given proper conditions Of soil
and moisture supply. Yet there are
certainly many waste places where
chestnut trees might be successfully
grown. The nuts would prove quite a
valuable annual receipt while the main
harvest OF timber was being waited
for. He who plants these trees plants
for his children unless he himself is
a very young man, but most men de-
sire to do something of the kind.
Some years ago an enthusiastic
Pennsylvania came into the office Of
the Farmers Review to show some
large chestnuts of the Paragon vari-
ety. He told of new company organ
lied in his state with the object OF Gull
/ tiVating this nut Since that time the
company mentioned, the Paragon Nut
and Fruit Company, has been doing
good work in reforesting billy and
rocky land in that state. They began
work about eight years ago, purchas-
ing 200 acres of billy mountain land.
This land contained much native
chestnut, which was cut down and per.
mitted to sprout from the stumps.
These sprouts were then grated. The
sprout, with a fulLsized root under 1t,
grows with great rapidity, and the
graft will bear some chestnuts In a
very few years, and win become prof.
liable In few years more. Other tracts
OF land were bought in subsequent
years and treated as had been the first
tract. Now the company has about
800 acres Of land, on which are grow
ing $4,000 trees. There is always a
demand for cbestnuts, both for eating
boiled and roasted and for confection-
ers' use.

IT IL plain TO every observant

editorial In his paper Saturday alb
using Judge Pritehard because Mr..
Thos. 8. Rollins was appointed to
succeed him as chairman. The

others Of his ilk had hoped there
would be a split In the Republican
executive committee when they
met in Greensboro and that a man
would be elected a. chairman that
would tear down the party Judge
Pritch I'd as built up Ia the State.
The Editor Of the Obstr yer dosen't

cided to have a white man succeed
a negro as postmaster at Wilson the

COMEDY
While the majority of the Demo

Judge Pritchard for the able way in
which he represented his State in
the United States Senate and also
saying complimentary things of his
fine personality. Saturdays issue
of the News and Observer contained
a TRADE against Judge Pritchard
simply because the Republican Ex-
ecutive Committee, which met in
Greensboro last week saw fit to elect
Mr.. Rollins to succeed Judge Prit-
chard as chairman.
The Editor of the Observer should
have read the article, which was
copied in his paper from the Wash
ington Post some days ago, which
was in. substance that Southern
Democrats who have received favors
from the administration should re-
frain from abusing the administra-
ton as their condemnation would

tude for them to join the critics,

In fact did not that legislature act

AN ATTEMP TO wHITEwASH THE
SCANDA AT CASTLE HAYNES

In our last issue we told our
readers about the scandal at the
convict camp at Castlo Haynes as
reported by the Grand Jury of New
Hanover county. Later reports by
the Grand Jury seem to be even
worse than the first report. A
special from Wilmington to the
News and Observer Sunday stated
that the jury said not one of its
members had the courage to make
an examination of the bed clothing
used in the portable cage in service
on the roads and that at the camp
proper the clothing was so full of
vermin that in returning to Will
mington from Castle Haynes the
carriage in which the Grand Jury
was riding had to be stopped so that
members of the party could pull
of their coats and pull the
vermin from their clothing. And
in the face of these facts the county
authorities of New Hanover claim
that the sanitary conditions of the
camp are as good as any in the state
or South. In the eyes of the off.
Gals the conditions that exist at the
camp on alright as it is under the
management of democratic red-shirt
"good government. 1t is quite
evident that we are to have another
case of "whitewashing".
