The Wild Onion.

A Manchester friend OF The Times-Dls-
patch begs us to tell him how to cradl-
cato the Wild onions from his lawn He
says the lawn was plowed and put into
the best condition last fall, and was seed
Cd well, but that tho onions have gotten
control of the ground. So our friend
wishes to destroy them without repow-
ing.
Wild garlic Is what the United States
Department calls this vegetable post 1t
Is not u native OF this country, but was
introduced here ut an early date from
tho old world, and has thriven as abund-
hntly us the "Jlmson' weed, or the
2tlilnnthus treo,
b AS early as 1926 It had spread from
New York to Virginia
AS rule, 1t is propagated almost ex-
clusively by means Of secondary UNDER
ground bulbs and aerial bulblcts. Tho
form Of wild onion which is most abund-
ant in America rarely produces seeds. In
lawns and pastures, where the tops are
not allowed to develop, 1t reproduces it
self by tho small secondary bulbs, or
$'byclovcs," developing at the base Of the
old bulb. These may be found In clusters
at depth OF from three to ten inches
below the surface of the ground-all OF
which we learn from the publications OF
tho United States Department of Agrl-
culture. Anong the methods Of eradca-
ton recommended BY the department Is
the picking out and destruction OF the
weeds. "Dlg out each tuft OF plants
separately, IN the fall, and burn the
bulb, together with the earth surrounding
them" Cultivation with hoed crops has
been tried, but that alone Is Ineffective
TO destroy 1t in the fall leave as many
bulbs as possible near the surface to re
exposed to alternate freezing and thaw-
ing Any surviving shoots should be de-
sttcyed by early spring cultivation, and
after thorough fitting, oats or barley may
be sOwn or corn planted
This whole subject is treated in one OF
the publications OF the United States De-
partInent OF Agriculture, which should
ba in the hands OF every intelligent far
mer. In one way or another, the wild
onion, or garlic causes the loss Of hun
dreds Of thousands or dollars In the
country; that, too though 1T grows in
but u small number Of the States. Treat

The article which We printed Friday
by Mr.. Charles L. Stevens. of New
Bern, y. c., on the fish interests OF
the State reminds US of a good story
they used TO tell on n Congressman who
represented the First District Of North
Carolina This district Is composed Of
the counties of Beaufort. Camden, Chow
en-. Currituk, Dare. Gates, Hartford,
Hyde, Martin, Pasquotank, Perquimans,
Pitt, Tyrrell and Washington, In the
district are embraced the waters Of Al
bemarle and Currituck Sounds and a
number Of wide rivers. On one occa-
sion the committee in charge Vas dis
cusslng the question Of better water
supply for the city of Washington, and
the member from North Carolina being
present and being slightly hilarious, took
an active part In the discussion. Finally
one of his associates sitting near pulled
him by the coat tails ind told him to sit
down, at the same time remarking, You
don't know anything about water
At this the Carolina Congressman
brstlcd up and with a show of indlg-
nation replied, Don't know anything
about water. sir? Don't know anything
about water? Why, sir, / represent more
water than any member of this Con-
grcss."
Those who knew tho character OF the
district represented by this statesman
saw the forco of his remark, and the
story has now become a classic in the
Old North State.

SEVERELY SCORED
NEGRO CRIMINAL

Protection from Such Men Only Ex-
cuse for Carrying a Pistol.
Joe Simmons yesterday pleaded guilty
in the Superior Court for assault with
intent to murder, committed on Lizzie
Williams. The negro was drunk and
had shot at and wounded the woman.
Judge Cam sentenced him to four
years in the penitentiary. In impos-
ing sentence Judge Cam said:
For purposes of protection from
men of your class is the only possible
excuse for a good citizen carrying a
pistol. The community will not suffer
by reason of your absence, and despite
your plea of guilty. I am going to put
you In the penitentiary. I will regard
your plea as lightly as possible, under
g charge of shooting with intent to kill
me sentence of the court is that you
be confined in the penitentiary for four
years at hard labor.
Frequently, I have advised men of
your type and class to let pistols alone.
There is no excuse for carrying them,
and you and your kind seem to have
an idea that the law will hold you
guiltless if you shoot at anybody or
everybody whenever you feel ag-
grieved."

DIS0RDERLY CONDUCT
ON RAILROAD TRAIN.
Is Charge Brought Against Young
Preston O'Quinn.

Almost the entire afternoon session
of the Superior Court yesterday was
occupied with the trial of young
Preston OQuinn, white boy living at
Fitzgerald. Young O'Quinn is charged
with disorderly conduct on a Seaboard
Air Line train and with cursing and
using indecent language in the pres
ence of ladies. The state is represent
ed by Solicitor Pro TEN. E. H. Abra-
hams and the defense by Col. P. w.
Meldrim. Mr. j. Randolph Anderson
appears for the railroad.
The state called but one witness, and
then rested it's case. This witness stat
ed that at a point near Meldrim young
O'Quinn lurched into the car in which
he sat and nearly fell over a woman,
who was holding a baby in her lap.
The woman put out her hands and
showed the boy, who it is alleged to
have been drunk, away from her. Then
1t is claimed that O'Quinn began ours
ing and using the indecent language
charged in the indictment.
For the defense Col. Meldrim called
several of the occupants of the same
car in which the disorderly conduct
is alleged to have occurred. All testi-
fled that O'Quinn was perfectly sober
and that they heard no trouble nor
any indecent language used. A num-
her of character witnesses were also
called.
At z O'Clock the case had not con-
cluded. Col. Meldrim stated that an
important witness would be on hand in
the morning, and the case went over
until to-day. From the character OF
the questions asked by the solicitor in
cross examination, the indications are
that some surprises will be sprang in
rebuttal.
Solicitor Abrahams questioned each
witness as to whether OQuinn had
paid his expenses here or offered him
any inducements for his testimony
One witness, when asked if his exz
penses had been paid, said, after a
moments hesitation: well 1 did not
come here for nothing" A brother of
the defendant then took the stand and
stated that in working up the case he
had spoken to the witnesses as a mat
ter of course and done all in his power
to bring them here.
Before the case began Col. Meldrim
presented a demurrer to the court, ask
ing that the case be set aside, as in
decent language was no disorderly
conduct, and that language was no
Crominal offense. Judge Cam over
ruled the demurrer
