 The above results show conclusive ly that only a small amount of plant food is removed from the soil by nursery stock in three years They also show that more of each of these ingredients are removed by the apple and pear than by the peach and plum.
 I quote the above to show the ingre- dients for a perfect fertilizer for tree growth Understand says the Orange Judd Farmer, this is not a formula suited to any particular section, or soils, as soils vary; and some soils might possess a sufficiency of one or more of these ingredients, hence judS- ment is necessary to formulate it.
 Nitrogen is the principal ingredient in plant or tree growth, yet it is more soluble than either of the oth- CTS mentioned, and is much easier washed out of the soil and carried off by the heavy rains Nitrogen causes the plant growth, and the two other ingredients strengthen the tissue, giv- ing health and hastening maturity of the plant and also producing the fruit on plants or trees of sufficient age.
 Barnyard manure makes a good fer tilizer, and when it is composted with acid phosphate and German kanit. or some other form of potash it is bet ter.

THE UNKNOWN TIDE OF LIFE.

CBy one of our William and Mary Students)
Alone upon the unknown tide of life
We each one cast our lives in hope
full prayer;
We know not whether we are doomed
in strife,
But hope to find eternal blessings
there.
We are children now, and joyfully we
roam
On mountain steep and valleys bright
and gay;
We do not dream of ever leaving home
But ah, there comes so soon another
Nay!
When we must leave our homes, our
parents dear,
And out into the dark, wide world we
go;
We know not what great aims await
us there,
We only guess, but never chance to
know.
Some choose to live their lives and end
less roam
Forever on the dark tumultuous sea,
While others choose peaceful, happy
home
Within a land of peace and liberty.
But whate'er our great Redeemer doth
ordain
Our lives shall be, that shall we be-
no more,
And though it may be e'er in endless
pain,
We, it shall live, and it we should
adore.

THE MALIGNED REPORTER.

ga common charge brought
against newspaper reporters ia that
they are heartless, and that they revel
in laying before the world the closely
guarded secrets Of individuals. 1t
constantly happens that reporter
must do unpleasant things because
others have been guilty of those
violations of custom, law or conyen-
ton that makes news. The oppro-
briam that belongs to the real often
der isnot infrequently heaped upon
the innocent newsgatherer. There
is no work reporter detests SO much
as that involving a social scandal,
and there Is no story that large
percentage of readers will devo1r
more eagerly. There isn't a good re-
porter living who has not been guilty
of that blacklist, least forgivable of
all journalistic crimes, throwing
down his newspaper to protect a
helpless person innocently involved
u q legitimate news story that ia a
matter Of public record. On the
whole, newsgatherers are tender.
hearted folk, and generous, and that
which often passes for cyHicism is an
intense hatred and contempt for
shams. If they appear suspicious
it is because long experience has
taught them that they must CONSTANT
ly guarded against deception. There
is no walk of life good reporter is
not compelled, sooner or later, to in-
wade, and his position is the trying
one of being compelled either to
to gain the confidence of or outwit
those ne meets there. ."-Everybody's

FACTS ABOUT Mr.. SWANSON.

In 1885, when the facile pen of the
lamented Richard +. Beirne, then
owner aud editor of the Richmond
State, was so ably espousiDg the Dem
ocratic cause in Virginia, and when
his many friends were urging his
claims for the governorship of this
State, he remarked to a coterie of his
supporters, who were discussing the
political situation: "Tbe time has
not yet come for young man to be
governor of Virginia" and then he
added: ''But l think Claude Swanson
will be governor before his hair is
silvered."
Those were prophetic words.
Claude Swanson was then beginning
his public career, though only col
lege boy at Randolph Macon College.
Fired. as were other young men at
that time with enthusiasm, zeal and
determination to help bring Virginia
back into the Democratic column.
Claude Swanson made his first pollti-
cal speech at old Hanover Courthouse.
Richard f. Beirne heard that speech
and made the prophecy which today
has come to pass.
Governor Swanson is a man of in
domitable energy, aud his success in
public life is attributed to his integ-
rity of character and indefatigable
exertious. He is what may be called
a self made man, in so far as any man
can be the architect Of his own for
tune. His father was o highly re-
spectacle merchant and man afacturer
of tobacco in -Pittsylvania county.
Reyerses came TO him and Governor
Swanson, lad of fourteen, had to
stop school and go to work. Adver-
sity crossed his pathway in his youth,
and the lesson of self denial aud the
salutary discipline of working out a
livelihood by his own exertions served
only as an incentive to career of
success.
A farmer boy, a country school
teacher, clerk in a country store, a
lawyer, member of congress, aud now
governor of Virginia. Step by step
he ascended the ladder, and now the
elimination of his ambition 10. be
governor of this renowned Common
wealth is realized in the vigor of his
manhood. In this connection bio
grapher recently said of him:
"When boy working on his
fathers farm, he read the story of
Warren Hastings, in his day dreams
as a lad conceiving the purpose that
never forsook him, of restoring the
fallen fortunes of a once noble house
and lineage, a purpose that he cher
ished and pursued beneath the burn
ling suns of India. The story fired
the soul of the plow-boy with an
aspiration that has reckoned him on
through many wearisome day OF
toll at his office desk and in the com.
mittee rooms of congress, aud has
still whispered in his ear in many q
silent hour of the night. That in.
spiration is to be governor of thi,
grand old Commonwealth. He crave.
it as the crowning honor of his politi
cal career. He desires to be governor
of Virginia. He deserves to be gov
ernor Of Virginia. Let us make hin
governor of Virginia.
Now, having become governor, hi
friends throughout Virginia VIII,
know him best predict for his ad
ministration a glorious success.

est of the government. Thomas Gun.
ningham, man racked with a cough
ard twisted with rheumatism, was Sc
lected by his companions to represent
them before the commissioner. That
night at hearing held on board the
Window" before United States Com
missioner Percy S. Stephenson. Captain
Justice was bailed. in the sum of $500
for his appearance at the May term of
the United States District Court, which
meets at Norfolk, to answer charges of
cruelty. Captain Justice, when asked
to explain his treatment of his crew.
said: 81 have been engaged in the
oyster dredging business for nine years.
and I've always, treated my men just
as have treated those. / can't afford
to give them any better food or any
better quarters" That is the story
that every skipper tells. They say
that other captains treat their crews in
this way, and that they intended to do
the same.
The Virginia oyster boats are keep
ing out of the way. Many of them
have dismissed their crews and others
are lying hidden in out-of-the-way
harbors.
United States Deputy Marshal Bendit
landed at Reedville and served papers
on Captain William Marsh, of the Eth
ell Ruth, in civil suit for damages
placed at ten thousand dollars brought
by William Galleger, sailor. Before
the Window left Reedville, Captain
Marsh came aboard and stated to United
States Marshal Treat that he had
sold his vessel in order to pay the ex-
penses of defending the suit brought
against him by Galleger. Captain
Marsh seemed to be frightfully upset by
the great charges that have been made
against him, and says he intends to
abandon the oyster business. There
were no other suspected oyster boats
in the great Wicomico River, and the
Window sailed for the Potomac, where
it's supposed the boats are now oper-
ating.
The Window reached Colonial Beach
on Thursday and dropped anchor on ac-
count Of a storm which was raging on
the Chesapeake bay. None of the sus-
pected captains of oyster boats, charged
with holding seamen against their will.
and with cruelty to the crew, have so
far been found. United States Marshal
Treat boarded and talked with men on
twenty-five or thirty oyster boats, but
neither "The Daniel, ''The Upshur o.
or "The Leroy have been run down.
The Daniel" anchored at Coles Point
Wednesday night, but escaped the Win
dom.
The interesting fact was discovered
by today's investigation that the
Maryland oyster boats are operating
largely in Virginia waters. Around
Ragged Point twenty-five Maryland
oyster boats were seen dredging and
longing, some of which displayed no
dredging license number. No questions
were asked on the Maryland boats.
The men made no complaint, and SEEM

NOT so MUCH SURPRISED.

Senator Martin. as is his wont, re-
piled briefly but appositely. Frankly
he admitted that the news he had
just heard was by no means so start
ling as had been alleged; in fact he
rather expected it. The Senator
then went on to declare that 1T was
an honor and a pleasure to receive
such body of his friends from Vir.
'glnia on any occasion aud thanked
them for the information they had
brought, as we'll as for the honor
conferred on him by the body which
they represented. He said he had
always tried to discharge his duty to
the people of the State. which had
honored him, and that in the six
years to come he hoped to be of
greater service to the people of the
old Commonwealth. He concluded
by charging the committee to convey
to the General Assembly of Virginia
his thanks for the honor it had done
him.
A general 'hsndshaking followed
the speech making, and then came o

There are steps in the reach Of
Columbians that must be taken
or the high water mark will be
reached on premature base and
the turning point rounded. 1t
requires united action to keep a
healthy growth. Within our
reach and essential to the adj
vancement of the town, are sew
eral small enterprises that would
tickle the public pulse when once
secured, and be substantial props
under advanced values. The
town council should bring about
more and better sidewalks. Sew
eral streets are in need of stone
and the extention of street lights
is too important to be delayed.
On the part of the most progress
sive citizens waterworks could be
secured and, when done, would
almost make Columbia a new
place. A small ice plant could
be sustained and made profitable
and several other small indus
tries could thrive under present

railroad was never brighter and
the people to a man ought to give
substantial aid. Adair county

that the Fiscal court will not be
backward in inventing a plan
for the building of roads that
will stand the winter as we'll as

needed and we believe will be Sc

Changes in County OFFICIALS.

All the county officials took the
of their respective posi-
tons January the first, and it is with
pleasure that the News extends hearty
greeting to each and all.
AS county Judge Mr.. Junius Hancock
was the winner last November and he
was duly headed and took the oath of
Office few days prior to the first at
which time he assumed the response
bilities of that important position.
Mr.. G. P. Smythe is now our County
Attorney and young lawyer well equip
ped to take care of the credit and stand
Ing of the county.
Mr.. w. B. Patteson shoulders the
task of keeping the peace and bringing
in the violators of law. His duties are
many and varied for Sheriff is usually
busy man. Besides being a man well
qualified to meet all the emergencies
that may arrive, he is doubly prepared
in the way of efficient deputies. Mr..
Ed Staples, who has already proven
himself a discreet and brave official,
and Mr.. T. C. Davidson, whose adapta-
bility in every particular to this impor-
tant position is well known, have taken
the oath to perform their duties fearless
ly under their Chief, Mr.. Patteson, and
we have no Go1bt as to the result.

ton. He is the County Court Clerk,
succeeding himself, and the business of
the office will doubtless continue in that
satisfactory manner it has heretofore
done. 1t is just plain T. R. Suits,
County Court Clerk.
Mr.. J. F. Neat, Circuit Court Clerk,
was not molested in the last election,
his term not expiring, so no change
will be made in that office.
Mr.. Tarter, the new Jailer comes
from section of country known for its
hospitality and if he fails to feed and
treat all prisoners in the right way, he
will fall far below the hopes of his many
friends who elected him.
Mr.. Geo. w Pike, Of Cane Valley,
is the Assessor and we have no doubt
as to his faithful performance of the
duties Of that Office.
Mrs. Georgia Shelton, County School
superintendent, takes charge Of the ed
vocational interest and she is eminently
qualified to fill it to the intnrest of all.
She is the first lady to hold official po-
sition in Adair county and her admins
tration of the duties of this office we
expect to be as fair and correct as pos
sible to be accomplished.
In justice to those whose terms of
Office have expired we desire to say
that peace and good will go with you
to the private walks of life, since you
have discharged your duties as you be-
lieve they should have been done.
To the new officials we merely wish
to say that your way is probably beset
with some difficulties, but we believe
that each and every one of you will
measure up to a full, fair and honest
discharge of the same so while and
doing you shall have the hearty endorse
ment of The News.

death was wired to her brother, Judge
Junius Hancock, the day folio " ing. Up
to this date Mr., Hancock has not re-
ceived further information and the
cause of her departure is at present un-
known. A few weeks ago MIR. Hancock
received letter stating that they were
all in usual health which indicates that
her sickness was of short duration.
Mrs. Fields was 81 years of age and
member Of the Christian Church in
which she had attached herself in her
early life. She leaves husband and
four children who will miss her COM
partnership and realize the loss of true
mother. She was sister of Judge
Junius Hancock, this city, and DR.. N.
M. Hancock, of Cane Valley. DR..
Fields, her husband, was also reared
here and his many friends sympathize
with him in this sad hour of trouble.
