CIVIC LEAGUE NOTES.
Valuable Information Furnished by
American Civic Association.

In response to a. letter Of inquiry
sociaton the following valuable in
formation has been furnished by its
President, ]. Horace Mcfarland:
AS to the trimming proposition, it
must be absolutely restricted if you
are to have good trees. If the trees
come to you to fair order with good
root system they will need the cut
ting off of all mutilated roots and a
reasonable shortening in of the up
per branches to a symetrical shape,
cutting in each case close to a bud,
smoothly. If they are then planted
III large holes, carefully dug, and
each tree surrounded by some good
soil without any fresh manure, they
should live and grow and require no
other trimming for many years, save
such as is included in rubbing off as
soon as they appear buds and shoots
on the lower part Of the stem. An
nual trimming simply for the sake OF
trimming is absolutely vicious, and
must be prohibited. There is no more
necessity for trimming a tree once
year han there is for trimming per-
sons ears once a year.
Trees while young must be staked
if they are to do well. There are
modern tree guards Of wire which are
good, but they are expensive. If you
will plant with the tree good solid,
hardwood stick, say by 4, driving
it firmly into the ground after the
hole is dug so that it is substantially
planted, and will fasten the tree to
this by band Of leather, or old hose,
or strong soft cloth, which is crossed
between the tree and the stake, tack
ed on the back Of stake, the trees will
be we'll protected while they are re-
fastening themselves with new root
stem. Please note that the fastening
of the tree to the stake is Of the ut
most importance, as if it is tightly
boun6 to the stake will chafe
and nurt itself, but if it is held by the
strap above described, which is loop
ed around the tree and then crossed
before the strap passes around the
post, it will be in a sling and cannot
dam .ge itself.

The Promotion of Pecan Culture.

Texas members Of the American
Civic Association are conducting a
campaign OF education in reference to
the planting of paper she'll pecan
trees. Many reasons are advanced
why pecan culture should be more
generally engaged in throughout the
State.
At Temple, where Arbor Day was
first observed in Texas, trees were
plentifully planted when the town
was laid out, twenty-five years ago,
and thare is now plenty of shade, but
it is argued that if all the trees We're
Pecans they would be source OF
profit as we'll as Of pleasure.
Heretofore there has been objection
TO the planting Of Pecan trees, owing
to the time consumed between the
planting of the nut and the fruiting
of the trees. This objection is now
overcome by transplanting the tree at
about five years Of age, from the na-
tive fo1 est, and afterward grating on
it buds from the paper shell variety.
Experience has demonstrated that
within a year or two after this has
been done the tree will be bearing
paper shell nuts.

. Stopping Over.

The investigating committee in
plain that it has negatived even the
good work done and has generally
failed, or very near failed, Of its
purpose A correspondent Of the
State this morning, showing signs Of
the too common fault Of Stopping
over whenever there is an opportu-
nifty for it, suggests the prominent
members Of the committee for State
Offices. This would be a fitting crown
ing Of a very spectacular campaign,
but none if the gentlemen mentioned
could be elected, none could avoid
being for ever buried in the State.
for itself, when it is proved right or
wrong, it might be time to ask the
public appreciation Of a duty well
done, but now it is duty very crude
ly done and many very important
questions to be answered to the salts
faction Of the public before the COM
mite is worthy Of such public en-
dorsement of their work. We believe
that the gentlemen of the committee
have too much sense and judgment to
offer for political Office at this time.
If the public get the :dea that they
are office seekers they will be as eff
fective as spring water at a stag ban
quet.--Florence Times.

THE NEGRO on THE FARMS.
He Cuitiyates Nearly Half a Billion
Dollars Worth of Land in This
Country, Mostly in the South.

A supplementary report OF the CEN
sus Of 1900, just issued, shows that
the value OF the farms Of the United
States cultivated by negroes, was
s499,941,234, all but small fraction
of the maount representing farms in
the South. Buildings were worth ST.
100000; land, s324,242,00O; live stock
sS4,s36, 900; implements. etc., s1S,-
S59,0OO.' The average value per
farm was $3.50; of the buildings, s96;
OF live stock. s114; of implements, etc
s25; Of land, s434.
Over half Of all negro farms are
in Mississippi, South Carolina, Ala
bara and Georgia. The number Of
farms held by negroes was 746,715;
the aggregate acreage, 3S,233,S20;
the average acreage per farm being
51.2. From one-half to two-thirds Of
these farms was improved land. Only
five States north of Mason and Dix
ons line reported over 1000 farms
held by negroes. Of the entire num-
Der of negro farms N the United
States $4,000 were Of SO acres OR ura-
der, the number under from 20 to SO
acres being 343,173. An idea Of the
area held by negro farmers may be
gathered from the fact that their
acreage of 3S,233,s33 acres is s,741
square miles, or about the area of
New England.
The value Of all products Of negro
farms in 1899 was s255, .51,145, of
which sum s25,S43,443 represented
products fed to live stock. For la
Dor there was paid s8,789,792; for fer
tilizers, s5,614,S44. The farm homes
Of negroes were 75S,463, or Ala per
cent. Of all the homes Of negroes in
the United States. About one-fourth
of all negro farmers owned their
farms ''The massing of negroes, ten

AS respects the distribution Of ne
groes owning farms, Maryland is cred

How to Break Up a Cold.

*It may be a surprise to many to
learn that a severe cold can be COM
pletely broken up in one or two days
time. The first symptoms Of a. cold are
a dry. loud cough, a profuse watery
discharge from the nose, and a thin,
white coating on the tongue. When
Chamberlain's Cough remedy is taken
every hour on the first appearance OF
these symptoms, it counteracts the ef-
feet Of the cold and restores the sys-
tenn to a healthy condition within a
day or two. For sale by all druggists.

FACTS SUGGEST POSSIBILITY.
How Conditions North and South May
Become Reversed.


sreees1s some bewildering and stag
gering possibilities. At Cincinnati
colored policemen walk the streets
n an excursion party coming from
the country to the city last Sunday
afternoon colored and white people
walked from the station side by side.
Two couples, white men and coloreo
women. had al. the appearances OF
being man and wife. strolling along
together with an easy and familiar
air of married people. In the hotel
at indianapolis on Wednesday, a col
ored man about a quadroon, walked
in, har on and cigar in his mouth.
went to the desk a white girl who
is a public stenographer in the lob
by, sat by her, dictated three or four
letters, gave orders as 70 their dis
position and departed.
These instances show how surely
The idea Of social equality is spread
/ ing and becoming familiar in that
part Of the country. How could II
| be otherwise with mixed schools,
| with negro children and white chill
dren sitting on the same benches,
the same Fairgrounds, taking part
visiting each others house and sit
ting at the same table? What is to
| prevent boys and girls Of the two
races and color brought up together
in that kind Of relationship, taught
to recognize no difference, from in
ltermarrying, when they have become
men and women? The law does nos
| forbid it, and theoretically, at least,
encourages it. Ass ssuming the Indian
apolis quadroon' to be a prosperous
| business man, as he appeared to be,
why should not the white girl in the
hotel lobby, probably accustomed
/ from her days in the public schools
to recognize negroes as her equals,
marry him if he. asks her? Why
should the white janitor on the beat
sof the negro policeman forbid his
| daughter from marrying the negro,
who is his, superior officer and mis-
equal socially according to law and
custom?
tt is easy to see that the negroes
in the South may drift North, where
they have the opportunities denied
them in this. section. It is equally
easy to imagine that presently white.
! people, in the North who inherit pre-
| judices and hold the instinct for the
preservation of their racial and blood
purity, may presently begin to come
South, knowing that here their 'ons
and daughters will be protected by
law and by overwhelming and en-
, during sentiment against amalgama-
ton with the negroes. So it may
come about that some generation rot
many years hence may see strong
tide of negroes moving to the North
and the whites coming South; and in
the course of thirty or forty years the
position of the sections may be re-
versed exactly.
Children now born may live to see
the time when the South will have
population purely white and all the
great North and West will be inhab-
tied by mixed breed Of mulattoes.
This is not certainty, we hope not
even a. proba ability; but with present
conditions and the races continuing
and the laws remaining as they are
it is a possibility worth some curious
consideration and speculation.-Rich-
mond News Leader.

Hearts

Are due to Indigestion. Ninety-nine Of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiges-
ton. It's scientific fact that all cases OF
heart disease, not organic, are not only
ersceable to. but are the direct result Of indi-
sestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swellsthe stomach, putting it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action OF
the heart, and in the course Of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
