No Excuse for Delay.

The committee which was appointed
to select a test farm for fruit and truck
seems to be having Il hard time In
making up its mind as to IA location
Tor the station. A few days ago they
practically decided upon Wilmington,
ana now they believe that Willard
comes nearer offering what they want.
The Wilmington people who have been
interesting themselves in the matter
are growing Il little impatient at the
ncklenesS of the committee, and we
can't blame them. The committee has
had many months in which to decide
this matter and there is no excuse for
all this delay. If the soil at Whining
ton is considered not what is desired.
then they should go where some ia
vorable conditions can be had. The
matter should be terminated without
further delay.-Charlotte News.

How Luther Burbank Changes Plan
life

-tA
George Archibald Clark in Success;
The processes by which he Luther
Burbank, the famous horticuiturisL)
works are not new or peculiar. They
ar Elm accord with well known and un-
alterable laws of nature. The princi-
pal methods used are selection and
crossing. Nature is using these same
processes every day. The bees and the
wind carry the pollen of n flower to
fertilize another, thus bringing Dou
the crossing of species. The struggle
tor existence. and Il thousand circum-
stances of growth and development,
tend to weed out the unfit among the
plants, leaving the best to survive. This
is selection. But where natures opera
tons are largely left to chance and ac-
cident, Mr.. Burbank gives them intel
ligent direction. and his results are
sure and immediate.
He takes two plants whose life-hab-
it's. structure, and environment may
have been wholly different. He brings
them together, ~implanting the pollen Of
one upon the stigma of the other. AS a
result the species are thrown into a
state of northumberland to 'wab-
bling as it We're. The life tendencies
are broken up by the shock. The plants
resulting from the crossing may re-
semble one or the other of the parent
plants. These are not important. Some
Of the plants will combine the best
uualities>of the parents. From these
improved v%arities of fruits and flowers
are produced. Some of The plants will
be different from either parent-per-
haps unlike any other plant in exist
cnce. From the unusual variants new
plants may be developed. He selects
hiS original subjects from far and
near. He brings a raspberry from
Siberia to combine it with q blackberry
of California. He brings a plum from
China or Japan to combine it with a
native apricot. An experiment is built
up on the foundation Of a common
flower, as the daisy. for example. In
another experiment, a flower from
Australia may be used. He brings a
cactus from Central America to Cross
with a species from Arizona.
Having crossed his species, he plants
the seeds. From the resulting seedlings
he elects the single plant, or the two
or three at most, which he finds best
suited for his purpose. The seeds of
these are again planted and the work
Of the selection goes on. 1t was from
a bed of $4,000 plants that he selected
the one from which his white black
berry was developed. The seeds ac-
emulate by Il rapid progression. In
a few seasons there is an immense
quantity of them. All are planted. He
does not believe in dealing with a few
examples. He chooses few, but the
time for selection comes. tile whole lot
1t may be a hundred or 200, OOO-is
passed before him in review. He Sc
lects those which suit his purposes, and
the others so to the brush heap and

IMPORTANT LABOR DECISION
Massachusetts, Supreme Court Passes
OH the Open Shop Question.

A decision of great Importance to la
Dor unions was handed down by the
Massachusetts Supreme court Oh We'd
lnesday. That tribunal holds that labor
unions and their members cannot legal
lily procure the discharge of a fellow
workman because he is not q member
lOf the union, in al attempt to gain the
advantages Of the labor union contract
with the employer. A. nonuniOn shoe
1maker sued an officer of the Boot and
fShOe Workers Union, for damages for
procuring his discharge from employ
ment because he was not Il member of
1.-THE union. The employing firm had
contracted with the union not to en-
lploy any workman except union men,
tbers, and not to retain in employ any
lone obnoxious to the union Soon after
the contract was signed the defendant
asked for the plaintiffs discharge, and
he was dismissed from employment.
The plaintiff recovered Il verdict for
Isl 800, and the Supreme. oourt decided
THAT the verdict must stand, because
the defendants action was an unlawful
interference with tue plaintiffs rights,
Ieven though the employer had the
fright to discharge the plaintiff at will,
his employment not being for a fixed
lperiod. The defendant took the posi-
ton that he could ask for the plaintiff S
discharge in pursuance Of the contract
Of the union with the firm.. The court
held that it is against the policy Of the
law to sustain action in support Of Il
monopoly, and that the action Of the
~Idischarge was to sustain q monopoly.

CONDITIONS AT PANAMA
Sanitation Must Be Improved Before
Other Work Is Attempted.

President Shonts. of the Panama
Icanal commission, has done the
lpublic a real service by making
IAN authoritative statement respect
ling the health conditions on the
Isthmus Of Panama. Statements Of a
sensational character have appeared i'll
tsome of the New York ppers relative
to the existence Of yellow fever there.
THE facts, as President Shonts pre-
lsents them, show that there has bee,.
scarcely any fever. There are be-
tween 1900 and 10000 canal employees
land there were two deaths from yell
How fever in May, four in June, and
there had been none in July up to the
10th of the month. That is certainly
not Il bad fever record. More people
died of malarial or other fever in the
IperiOd mentioned in many cities in this
lcOuntry having a population of 1900 or
10000. If the yellow fever doesn't be-
Icome worse than these statistics indi-
lcate it will never interfere seriously
with the construction OF the canal.
President ShOnts says the canal zone
is to be made Il pleasant place of resi-
Idence, and that the employees are to he
well housed and well fed. All this is
to be done before the work of building
the canal is to be begun in real earn
est. This is good news for those who
have cast their lot with the canal. 1t
is going to cost Il great deal Of money
to make the canal zone the sort of place
President ShOnts expects it to be, but
it can be made such a place. Good
drainage and good water will work
wonders. There is III particular rea-
son why the isthmus shouldn't be prac-
ltically free from feyers of all kinds.
Now it is spotted with swamps and
stagnant pools which are breeding
lplaces for mosquitoes.
And good health depends largely
upon food, houses and habits. If the
canal employees have comfortable
house, wholesome food, and live tenn
lperately, avoiding excuses of all sorts,
it is probable that the death rate Of the
canal zone will be brought down near
that of Il majority of the American
~icities.
1t is evident, from what President
jShonts says, that work on the canal
isn't being pushed along s. rapidly as
it was expected it would be. The main
business just now seems to be to get
the canal zone fit for a place Of resi-
dence. Money is to be spent freely
for that purpose, and perhaps in the
long run the plan will be tie most eco
nomical that could be adopted, because
if the canal zone is healthy mechanics
and laborers can be secured for less
wages than if the place were a pest

STRONG AsTI-sALooN LEAGUE
People in Oak Grove Township arc Up
i'm Arms Against Moonshiners.

The shooting into the home of T..
j. Holloway in Oak Grove township
by people who are supposed to have
been in league with the m~oonshiners
has caused the organization of d strong
~anti-saloon league in that township.
THE members of the league are pledg-
cd to use every honorable means TO fur
Their the interests of tnos who are OPP
posed to whiskey.
Last Saturday Il meeting was held
at Robeson's Grove at which time this
league was organized. The league
starts off with Il large membership
and strong resolutions, or articles Of
agreement were passed.
The articles Of agreement passed at
the meeting when the league was or
gained, those being signed by each
member of the league, are as follows:
Whereas, it is Il gross insult to any
civilized community, and to every law
abiding citizen of North Carolina for
any man or men to establish, run, or
i'll any way aid in Illicit distillery III
this commonwealth, and
Whereas, such distillerieS have
been established, run and aided in Oak
Grove township, Durham county, II
In adjoining sections, the result of
which has been ~demoraliZing n

raised by the anti-illicit distillery clt1-
zen their lives have been threatened

made uDOn the home of Mr.. Thomas
Holloway. by at least three men with
shot guns, thereby leaving Il stigma
upon the entire n~eighbOrhOOd which
will not be removed for many. years,
we, the undersigned, do therefore re-
solve,
First. That no illicit distilleries
shall eyer be allowed to run again in

Second. That creditable reports of
making, selling or in any way hand
ling spirituous liquors shall be investi-
gated, and if found to be true, the
guilty party or parties engaged shall
be reported to the proper authorities at
once.
Third. That we denOunce the I'M
warranted assault upon the home OF
Mr.. Thomas Holloway as outrageous
and shameful, and that we will assist
him in the endeavOr to apprehend the
guilty persons.
Fourth. That we will now organize
an anti-saloon league for the purpose
of doing more effective work against

boon to clubs and other resorts for

that when HyoEiei is used as a preven-

Hyomei for " Or three weeks besops
