State Gets Pay for Gotten.

Superintendent J. A. Pitcock of the penitentiary has received $30,318 from w. A. Short & Co.,, as payment for the $50 bales of cotton sold some time ago to this firm by the State Peniten- tiary Board. The $30,318 has been turned over to State Treasurer Tip ton and credited to the penitentiary board on the books of the state audi tor. There are now 200 bales of cot ton seed in the house on the convict farm in Lincoln county ready for sale, and the board will probably order this sold within the next few days. Super intendent Pitcock has returned from a trip to the farm, where he made an investigation of the damage done by the recent rains. He found that DOT tion of the crop which has not been gathered greatly damaged, but he be- lieves the pickers will get another 200 bales unless the rains and bad weather keep up long enough to ruin the cotton entirely

WORD IS MODERN ENGLISH.
"chap" To-Day Has Not Meaning Old
 Writers Gave to 1t.

The name of the new play at the Criterion, Prince Chap" would have been quite unintelligible to an English man of Shakespeare's time. Not until the end of the sixteenth century did chapman" trader or peddler, get contracted into chap even in vulgar speech, and even then for long time it did not advance beyond the mean ing of buyer or customer.
 In this sense Steele speaks of hunt ing after chaps" and Wilkes writes that perhaps Mrs. Mead would buy, but she would be hard chap" Chap" seems to have reached it's ultimate stage as casual equivalent of man" through the intermediate sense of a man with whom one has dealings, not of business, but of good fellowship.
 The case of customer" is very sim liar Shakespeare used it to mean a boon companion, but "a queer GUS tomer' now means little more than "a queer man." There is a trace of the old companionship idea, however, when young woman speaks of my chap" and in Prince Chap itself- London Chronicle.

Quince Trees Dyino.

The complaint is quite general in many sections of the country that dur. ing the past two years the quince trees are dying out, and various kinds of treatment seem to be ineffective
 l believe, from my own observation and experiments, that the remedies tried were not of the right sort.
 It should be known that the roots of the quince tree lie much nearer the surface than those of other fruit trees; consequently hard freezing weather is liable to injure them; especially is this true if the soil IS either too dry or too wet. The two winters preceding this were intensely cold, and in many sec tions the ground was bare for some time, and froze to a considerable depth; the effect upon this class of fruit trees has been very evident.
 Those people who believe the qufnce tree requires low, wet situation make mistake, yet we often see them planted in such a location. Like apple trees, they require we'll drained, but not too dry a soil. The treatment which works successfully, promoting a vigorous growth, to trees which ap- pear to have lost their vitality, is as follows:
 Mix well five pounds of either muri- ate or sulphate of potash, and five pounds of bone or rock superphos. phate, applying this amount to each tree, as far as the roots extend, work ing it in carefully as soon as the soil permits. Then give good top dress ing of stable manure, which will fur nish nitrogen, and also mulch, which will prevent the soil drying out during the heat of summer
 The disease termed fire blight, which affects pears as well, and often de- stroys whole orchards, needs prompt attention with the knife. The affected parts should be cut off and burned. The only sure treatment is of a nature which prevents, rather than cures. l have found that trees which were kept in a vigorous and growing condition were practically free from this trouble.
 The quince tree is unlike most fruit trees in that it's fruit is borne upon the ends of the branches-the new wood of the past seasons growth. Do not make mistake in pruning and cut off your prospective crop.

Eleven years ago. ac- cording to the editor, one of the pres ent prominent citizens began making a home. He had spent 25 years as 8 railroad man, and desired change.

cision withheld.

California Company Levies
Assessments to Pay
Debts in Full.
RAISES OYER MILLION

THE California Insurance Com
pany of San Francisco is as
sessing it's stockholders five
times the value of their hold
ings in capital stock to pay its losses in
this city on an honest, dollar-for- dollar
basis
Its shares are owned by San Fran
cisco capitalists. every one of whom
was hard hit by the disaster. Yet this
California corporation set to work he
roically and today it has paid $1,000
to its policy-holders. Its total loss was
s1,25o.ooo and its combined capital and
surplus on April Is amounted to only
$500, 600.
To pay the enormous debt that faced
the corporation meant an assessment
of four times the value of the capital
stock. The San Francisco directors
met before the ruins of their office had
cooled and voted to assess the share
holders five times the amount of the
capital stock, to pay all losses and
maintain the capital and surplus in
tact and to continue in business. There
was no thought of insolvency or OF
welching or of shifting the assets. The
little corporation stood up under a
weight larger than that which has
caused dozens of insurance companies
to beat down the policy holders.
Under the law OF California the d.
rectors of the California Insurance
Company found that they could not as
sess the stock at more than its par
value, $40, at any one time. They de-
cided to levy an assessment each month
until the five assessments should be
paid in. Two assessments have been
levied and paid and the third will be
levied tomorrow.
The record of the California Insur-
ance Company shows how it weathered
the storm that shattered other COM
panies- Its records were entirely
burned on April Is. 1t publicly an
nounced on April 81 that it would pay
in full 1t returned TO offices in the
burned district on June l and today it
has paid nearly two-thirds of its losses.

ance Company are as follows: Charles
