LT.-GOV. WINSTON THROWS
LIGHT ON LORD DOUGLAS
Believes That "Mrs. Loui.Gana Doug
las" Was a Former Miss Louisiana
Hobbs, of BERTHE County,
Baskerville Citizen. }


Lieutenant-G Governor Winston again
passed through Asheville yesterday on
his way home to BERTHE county. The
Lieutenant Governor was much inter-
ested in the story of Lord Charles
Douglas" which appeared in The Cit
izen yesterday morning. To a Citizen
reporter he said: The woman who
claims to be Mrs. Louisiana Douglas
l believe to be a former Miss Louisiana
Hobbs, of BERTHE, my home county. She
married Charles Douglas at Norfolk,
Va, in the summer of 1903. Douglas
at that time spoke freely of royal con-
nectionS in England, declaring that he
was the Earl of Douglas" and was
entitled to large estates in England.
While in Norfolk he followed the pa
per hangers trade and was always in
debt. Last year Lord Douglas took
his wife to San Francisco or Los An
geles and deserted her.
II knew the Hobbs girl and her peo-
pie we'll. She was one of the innocent
country types of girl who would read
lily believe the tales which the wary
stranger would pour into her ears.
After her husband left her 1 learned
that she made her way by stages back
to Norfolk and heard nothing of her
since till l read her story in your pa
per this morning. Her parents were
respectable and still live in BERTHE
county"

SOME ROAD-MAKING HINTS.
While National Agitation Is Going On
Some Practical Work Might
| Well Be Done at Home.

The air is full of talk about good
roads. 1t is good roads, good roads,"
everywhere you go. But isn't it about
time something practical was coming to
pass? All talk with no results amounts
to nothing, so let us get down to the
root of the matter. How are we really
to have good roads? Well, have seen
many plans tested, but this is the best of
all: Make good, deep bitches on each
side OF the road to- carry off all water
In digging the bitches, throw all dirt
into the road and add enough from 9TH
er sources to elevate the roadbed to 4
good height above the. bitches. The
roadbed should be Is feet wide and
should be highest in the center and
sloping slightly each way so as to drain
all water into the bitches. Cut down
the hill and fill up the hollows. AS a
railroad company had rather pull train
four miles over level road than half
mile up steep grade 50 it Is vast deal
better to observe this rule for wagon
roads. And now to make the roads per-
manently good gravel them good Bet
ter macadamize them If at all practical.
But at least gravel, and that with thor
oughly good gravel. If parts need til
ing be sure to tile them and do this
properly. Let every hours work be
well done. There is vastly more truth
than poetry in the old adage that what
Is worth doing at all is worth doing
WE'LL" Fill up all small ruts when they
first appear. 1t is much easier done then
than when foot deep. Besides, it might
save a wagon or buggy wheel from
being broken or horse from being
crippled. 1t might cen save a human
beings limb or even his life.-T. E.

PLANT SOME GOOD TREES.
Elm, Catalpa and Locust Are Rapid
!. " Growers and Require But 4
- 4 Little Care, s4E'4 M :,

: The American or white elm is q large
tree and when full grown often attains
a height of 100 feet and a trunk diam
eter of six feet. 1t forms around or
broad and spreading top It is rapid
grower and adapts itself we'll to all
kinds of soils. The tree is hardy, seldom
attacked by insects and diseases and
casts an ideal shade. It is a. first-class
tree to plant about the house and yard.
Inc catalpa is a rapid growing tree,
often attaining height of 60 feet and
a trunk diameter of three to four feet.
1t grows best on deep rich soil and a
satisfactory growth can seldom be Sc
cured on light, thin soil. In a pure
planting the trees will completely shade
the ground in three or four years. It
sprouts well from the stump, when the
trees are cut in the winter.
There are two species of catalpa
catalpa speciosa, commonly called har-
dy, or western catalpa, and catalpa
catalpa, commonly called southern
catalpa. The western catalpa is a tall
upright tree with but few large branches.
1t requires close planting to develop a
good trunk. The southern catalpa is
low growing tree with a broad top.
These characteristics are Influenced by
soil and location. On poor soil in open
planting, both kinds form low, branch
ing heads. The western catalpa as
rule produces only one to three seed
pods in cluster. and each pod is from
IA to 70 inches long and one-half inch
IN diameter The southern catalpa pro-
duces from four to eight pods in a
cluster. and each pod is from eight to
ten inches long; the seeds are small and
tapering at the end.
Black or yellow locust grows rapid
ly and attains height of 60 feet and a
trunk diameter of three feet The top
is of good form with a main central
stem when grown in close paintings, but
1t frequently branches and forms
large round head when grown in the
open. 1t grows fastest when set in
mixed paintings but does not form as
good trunk. 1t usually grows more
rapidly than the other trees and
branches and spreads over the tops of
other trees. 1t casts poor shade and is
SLOW to occupy the ground to the ex-
cl'tslon of other plants. and sprouts Wig

Dust Spray or LIQUID Sprav

The contest is still on between the
dust spray and the liquid spray. In
Illinois and other states to the east
and north the dust spray has made
little advance, but has obtained
good share of the attention of the
orchardists in Missouri and west, Tie
men that stick to the liquid spray say
that with the liquid it is possible to
get uniform spraying material, but
that there is no possible way of GET
ting the poisonous substances equally
distributed through dust. We will
have to wait little and see how this
problem is to be settled by the dust
sprayers. The men in favor of the
dust spray say that they can take ad-
vantage ofAthe dew on the trees in
the morning, and this saves the haul
ing of a great amount of water over
the ground, especially after rains when
the ground is too soft to be driven on.
