boxes of apples selling at S1.50 per

boxes worth S1.00 per box-in fact,

The Jonathan is distinctly a Color

Best Varieties of
Commercial Apples

The following paper, Commercial
Varieties of Apples" was the subject
discussed by M. E. Snow Thursday
morning. Mr.. Snow said:
The ideal commercial apple, l sup
pose, from the consumers standpoint,
should at least possess good looks,
be of fair size, and the higher in quail
ity the better. and in order to salts
fy the grower, must also combine rea-
sonably good bearing and keeping
qualities and the tree in the orchard
should be strong, healthy grower,
capable of at least bearing fair crops
annually of such fruit as is demanded
in our markets, and while it is prob
ably true that no variety now before
the public combines all these quail
ties. in as large degree as we might
desire, yet there are quite a number
that can be safely used ia least until
something better appears and has been
fully tested. Generally speaking l be-
lieve we shoud plant more and more
for quality. varieties that represent
high quality, and especially so herei n
Colorado.
Colorado apples, as a rule. go on
the market as something a little bet
ter than ordinary fruit, and the con-
sumer in the East who pays, say $500,
for box of apples, simply because it
has the Colorado brand. has a right
to expect. 1t seems to me, something
better than Ben Davis or Missouri
Pippin in quality, and If something

much longer to put up the same price
for a box of our apples as Is demanded
for whole barrel of Eastern fruit.

find place on the market as mod
crate priced fruit, but really have we
not already too large a per cent of
of acres being planted to orchards to
the west and south of us II certainly
seems to me a wise thing to look well
\ to inside of our apples as well as out
side appearance. Whatever may have
been trueithe past,for presentplant-
been true in the past, for present
planting it is hardly safe to select only
| those varieties which will probably
produce the greatest number of bush
els. for it is now generally conceded
that, especially in the Canon City dis
trict, the chief objection to some of
our most popular varieties is their ten
dency to overbear, thus causing the
fruit to run small, and also resulting
in light crop the following year-in
fact l have found but very few vari-
cites that do not produce enough fruit
in this locality to be at least fairly
profitable, although, of course, quite
good many must be discarded be-
cause of other faults, such as poor
shipping qualities, tendency to drop
inclination to blight, etc.
1t does not take very close figuring
to prove that the Jonathan or Rome

the best when placed in cold storage.
The Wine Sap is an old standard
variety, and when well grown is in
great demand. 1t does not bear as
young as some, but is a rank thrifty
grower and perhaps the most healthy
long lived tree of the lot. 1t Is in

the next, but this will In the future
probably be more or less remedied by
proper thinning, and a moderate crop
of better fruit secured each year. This

ATTEMPTED ASSAULT
Negro Entered the Room of a Young
Lady.

A special dispatch to the Charles
ton Post says Columbia was excited
Saturday over an attempted criminal
assault early that morning on Miss
Lula Norton, the nineteen year old
daughter Of Mr.. Albert Norton,
well known gentleman holding
clerical position in the city, at his
home No. sos Taylor street.
The criminal is negro house boy
named John Richardson, who came
from Sumter. He gained admission
to the room of Miss Norton, who was
sleeping with her sister, Miss Leila
Norton, near the same age, BY plac-
ing ladder against the window, the
sash of which was up on account OF
the warm weather.
Miss Norton was awakened by q
hand passing over her bare arm.
When she screamed the negro had
gotten out of the window. This was
at 2 O'Clock a. m. The police were
at once notified, and an hour later
causht Richardson pretending to be
asleep on his pallet in the kitchen.
At first he denied knowing any
thing about the matter, but when
confronted by the young ladies at a
private hearing before the recorder
this morning he admitted entering
the room with criminal intent. He
was sent to jail and held for trial at
the coming term of court, for at
tempted criminal assault. He says
he is sixteen years old, but looks to
be about twenty-three. So far there
seems no danger of lynching.

CABLES HEYWARD TO COME.
Col. Watson Sends Him Word That
He Is Badly Needed.

Ex-Governor Hayward Thursday
received a cablegram from Conmis-
sicner Watson In which he urged
Mr. Hayward to sail for Bremen on
the 26th. The cablegram reads:
Sail 26th all hazards. Need you
badly" It is doubtful, however, if
Mr.. Hayward will be able to get
away at that time, as he has some
matters Of great Importance to the
immigration movement which he has
not yet been able to get in shape for
presentation to the North German
Lloyd Company in reference to the
permanency of the immigration line
to Charleston. There are. also per.
sonal matters which might prevent
Mr.. Hayward leaving next week but
he would endeavor to put these ou'
of the way if the other affairs were
in shape for presentation. It is like
ly, therefore, that he will not sal
until the boat leaving New York or
the End of April, and when he goes
he will be prepared to make a strong
pull for the interests Of the whole
South in general and Charleston and
South Carolina in particular.
Governor Heyward has just re-
turned from Atlanta, where he went
on business, and while there he had
the pleasure of renewing his ae.
ouaintance with Governor Terrell
whose interests he has enlisted In
the immigration movement He also
had a talk with President Finley, o!
the Southern Railway, and put in
good word for Charleston, Of course
Mr.. Heyward found Mr. Finley yer!
friendly to the port Of Charleston
as well as to- the whole immigration
movement for the-South.

RAINS N THE NORTHWEST
Complete Tie Up of Telegraphic and
Railway Service.

Continuous heavy rains, resulting
in serious washouts, violent wind
storms and a wet, clinging snow,
have com bihed to produce a COM
plete telegraphic tie up in the Paci-
fc Northwest. The States Of Mon
tana, Idaho, washington and Oregon
have been isolated since early in the
day, and there seems to be no lmme-
diate prospects of an improvement
in the situation.
Thursday night a heavy wind
storm passed over Great Salt Lake,
from the Southwest to the Northeast,
and by driving the water with ter
ifc force against the Southern Pac-
sfc cutoff across the western part
of the lake, washed out an extensive
section of the tract, compelling dis
contin nance of the train service.
Sacramento is cut off from the
railroad communication with the
outside world, except from the east.
No eastern train were able to leave
over the Odgen route Friday.

KILLED TWO WOMEN
Mother and Daughter Beaten and
Checked to Death.

Last Friday week ago about II
miles from Newberry a double mur-
der was committed by Will Sanders.
All the parties connected with the
affair are colored. 1t seems that
Will Sanders has for some time been
living with woman, Aurelia Mat
thews and had been jealous Of her.
Friday afternoon late he went to his
house and told the woman to go with
him and see garden Fatcn ne mad
selected.
about an hour he returned and told
the woman's daughter, aged IS,
that her mother wanted her and
n 20 with him to her. He shortly
retnrned without her. The body of
the mother was found Saturday
morning with the skull crushed in
with some blunt instrumen and signs
Of choking.
The body of the daughter was
found Sunday morning and. it was
shown that the girl had been choked
to death. After killing the girl San
ders returned to the house and re-
tired. Getting up about daylight, he
commanded another young negro
woman and girl in the house to 80
with him; they refusing he locked
them in the house and left and has
not been seen since.

RURAL CARRIERS BENEFIT
Recent Act Of Congress Greatly In.
creases Their Pay.

Under the recent act of Congress
n aking appropriations for the pos
tai service for the ensuing fiscal
year, the Postmaster General may
fix the salaries of carriers in the
rural service at a rate not exceeding
5000 per annum after July /, 1907.
The highest rate now paid is S720
per annum. The readjustment Of
salaries under the new law has not
been fully determined, but it is pro-
posed to allow the maximum rate,
5000. to all carriers on routes twenty
four or more miles in length, as
shown by the records of the depart
ment. This will give approximately
22,900 or about 60 per cent Of the
carriers an advance in salary Of $3.50
A substantial increase in pay for
other carriers in contemplated. Car
riers on the shorter routes, ranging
from 12 to IA and form IA to Is
miles in. length, now receive S5O4
and $540 per annum, respectively,
being -proportionately better paid
than carriers on routes of twenty or
more miles.
This advance in pay for carriers
and substitutes, it is estimated, will
result in an approximate increase Of
S5,900,000 in the cost of rural de-
livery service.
