While absolute free trade will not
necessarily make a trust impossible,

Berries of tho beautiful and Fra

Berries of the Beautiful and Frn-
grant Pimento Tree.
The pimcnto. or allspice, ffee Is cul-
tlvated In the West Indies and Jamai-
"a. This beautiful tree usually grows
to height OF about thirty feet. 1t
has straight trunk, much branched
above aud covered with II very smooth
brown bark. The leaves vary In size
and shape, but are always Of dark,
shining green color. During the months
OF July and August tho tree is in full
bloom, the blossoms consisting of very
fragrant small white flowers.
When new plantation Of plmcnto
trees Is to he formed no regular SOW
Ing or planting takes place. because 1t
Is next to impossible to propagate the
young plants or to raise them from
seeds In parts OF the country where
they are not found growing spontane-
ously. Usually piece of land Is Sc
lected either close to n plantation al
ready formed or In n part Of the wood
land where pimcnto trees are growing
in n native state. The chosen piece Of
land Is then cleared OF all wood e1.
cept these trees, and the felled timber
ls allowed to remain un the ground for
the purpose Of protecting the very
young pimento plants.
At the end of two years the land Is
thoroughly cleared, and only the most
vigorous pimento trees and plants are
left standing. The plants come TO ma
turity In about seven years.
IN favorable seasons the pImento
rrp Is enormous, single tree otter:
yielding Il hundred or more pounds of
the dried spice. The berries are picked
while green. because II left on the tree
until ripe they lose their pungent taste
and are valueless. The green berries
nre exposed 10 the sun for week or
ten days. when they lose their green
color and turn reddish brown. When
perfectly dry they are put in bags and
casks for expectation.
The odor and the taste OF the pimen.
to berries are thought to resemble a
combination OF those OF cinnamon, nut.
meg and cloves; hence the familiar
name "allspice."

NEW FIELD FOR SOUTHERN

East. Yoshuchl Sakurl, who has Just

Mr.. Sakurl says: .
Last year japan used over 81 900.
600 bales of cottoRand only one-fourth
OF that was from the United States
The rest came from the cotton fields
of India and Asia This cotton is very
inferior to that which comes to japan

the United States. The other is found

class cotton weavers are coming to
use 1t. The export of cotton from the
United States to Japan Is bound to
Increase enormously in the next few
years."
The South can and will raise more
cotton than is now grown, provided

tinue to make the crop profitable. No
effort should be neglected either by
the government or the cotton grow
ers themselves. which promises to dc.

NEW TYPE OF oEsrRoYERs.

A Washington dispatch brings the
Interesting Information that the naval
constructors will soon begin work OH
plans for the three destroyers. which
are to be built this year and which
were authorized by Congress in the
recent session, to cost not moro than
$750,000 each. These destroyers will
represent a distinct advance In that
type of naval vessels. The principal
characteristic will be that OF speed.
and the turbines with which the de-
,stroyers will be equipped are expect
ed to drive the! boats through the wa.
ter at thirty-five and possibly thirty
six knots. This lis big advance in
speed when AZ Is considered that the
sdestroyers now under construction
Daily press. [volume] (Newport News, Va.) 1896-current, 1906-08-22

will have speed OF only thirty and
one.half knots.
Tho new destroyers will be about
600 tons displacement. and will be OF
al ocean.going quality.
Most of the experts believe that
these plans will represent the final
stage In the development of the de-
stroycrs for many years to come. 1t
is certain that no types of machinery
now known will give greater speed
to the destroyers than thirty-six knots.
1t will mean the abandonment Of the
surface torpedo boat for one thing and
is expected by its advocates to intro
duce new peril to the battleship In
time of war.
Since the submarine Ii less costly
than the destroyer and with proper
management gives greater promise of
results as defensive measure, It Is
perhaps well that the autho1. Ties
should permit the thirty.five knot de-
stroyer to mark the standard OF
scout ship efficiency. In only one
battle Of modern times has the torpc
do boat shown It's efficiency, and on
that occasion It Is not certain that
satisfactory results could have been
accomplished If Admiral RoJestven-
sky's glnners had been up to the MS
ual standard OF workmanship and gen
eral efficiency.
