A Larre Proportion of It's People En-

There were in the South (by the cen

persons owning from one to five slaves.
If these whites represented family
Of five persons each on an average
and many Southern families were
large-we have no less than S72,5U0
persons dependent upon five slaves or
Jess to the family for support, when
only two In the five were capable Of
profitable work, their own support to
come, at the same time, out Of the
profits of their own labor. Was pop
ulation of 1,745,000 souls ever clothed
and fed by the labor of only one-ffth
of their number?
However much Southern men may
have been accused of idleness and in
dolence, very many Of them-slave-
holders and non-slaveholders alike
were compelled to rely upon their own
energy and industry for livelihood.
To rely upon the labor Of the few
slaves they owned signified increasing
poverty and embarrassment.
And how were the thousands Of fam
lilies that owned no slaves. and yet
composed two-thirds of the white pop

DEDICATION OF A MONUMENT
ON FIELD OF ANTlETAM,
Shaft Recalls the Story of That Des-
perate Engagement Between Gener-
ais Mcclellan and Lee-President
Roosevelt In Attendance.

Forty-one years ago the bloody bat
tie of Antletam, between the Confeder-
ate forces under Gen. Robert e. Lee
and the Union troops under Gen.
George 3. Mcclellan, was fought on
the soil Of Maryland. In commemora-
ton of the part taken in the enga ge-
ment by the troops of New Jersey a
monument was recently erected by
that commonwealth, and dedicated In
the presence Of President Roosevelt,
who delivered an address.
The battle was one of the bloodiest
conflicts Of the war. After the defeat
Of the army Of the Potomac in the
seven days fighting along the Chicka-
hominy the Confederates resolved upon
an invasion Of Maryland. The seven
days fighting had been highly en-
couraging to the Confederates, and
correspondlngly depressing TO the
Union side. The Federals had lost
in those battles a total of 10000 killed,
wounded and prisoners, So pieces Of
artillery, $4,000 stand Of arms and i'm
mense quantities of military stores.
What was still more discouraging, the
magnificent army Of Mcclellan had
been pushed back to the James river.
This situation thoroughly aroused the
government at Washington. Two
orders were issued in quick success
sion, each calling for 100000 fresh
troops. and within the brief period Of
three months 100000 men were raised
armed and placed In the field

The scene now changed to the ex-
treme Union left. where the corps Of

Burnside had orders to cross the Ante

the Confederate fire. He suffered

He was in turn defeated and driven
back, like the other corps, to the banks
Of the Antietam. Night ended the
struggle, leaving both armies confront
ing each other on the west bank of the
creek. On the 18th Mcclellan remain

Money from Apples.

One Of the troubles with fruit-grow
erS who do not keep posted On the de-
mands of the market is the idea they
have that any sort Of an apple will sell
at some price. This is so as far as it
goes, provided the fruit is properly
graded, but when one packs all grades
in the same basket or barrel, the
chances are, nine out Of ten, that the
fruit will bring only the price Of the
poorest specimens. The most success
full fruit growers have but two grades,
and any fruit, particularly apples, that
falls below the second grade, goes to
the cider mill
Ii this plan is carried out and the
packing is done attractively, the two
grades Of fruit will bring in q greater
profit than would be possible if all Of
the fruit was marketed with little or
no sorting. Care should also be taken
that the fruit is picked carefully; have
each specimen go into the barrel with
its stem on. but not with twig which
viii injure the other fruit.
