Location to Select.
An important consideration In peach
culture on II large scale IS the selection
Of ii location. one not affected by late
frost in the spring or early frost in the
fall, one where the buds will be the
least likely to start early in the spring
The influence of climatic and atmos-
pheric conditions has much to do
with all vegetable growth. especially
peaches. Extreme cold is not as bad
as extreme changes. especially when
wet Sometimes large ponds or rivers
have a beneficial effect as well as ele-
vations near the salt water In all
cases plant the trees on elevated
ground with il nOrtherly or westerly
slope.
Soil For the Peach.
For soil the peach will adapt itself TO
almost any kind The best soil Is II
sandy loan rich in vegetable matter
1t will do remarkably we'll on stony
soils Very rich soils produce too much
wood. The peach does we'll on rocky
or ledgy side hills that are almost
worthless for anything else. Land with
much vegetable growth on it would be
benefited by n good dressing of lime
before blowing and another before har-
rowing | know of one orchard ON
gravelly knobs where the wood had
been cut off. the brush burned, then
holes dug and trees planted. They are
dug around every spring, fertilizer APP
Piled the brush cut twice Il year and
allowed to rot on the ground. The
trees do not make as much wood az
some, but otherwise are very satisfac

and state is checked to sustain this ego tism, this costly paternalism and error?
 The evil has been done. and 1t will take years tC overcome the impression in finan- cial circles abroad. that it is unsafe for them to do business in state where the legislation indicates unfriendliness, and where even the right of appeal to cor porate investments when once made. is questioned, and where capitals attempt to protect it's property in the courts of the land is eriti ised and threatened If cor porations are denied the rights of courts and appeal, as they represent individuals, some day our people may feel the bur den of reaction upon themselves from a dangerous precedent.
 The coal is still here; the iron is still here in great mountain ranges, and for miles the vast fields extend disclosing new mineral wealth from the treasure house Of the ages, stored by kind Providence for a favored people.
 Thank the Lord the calamity howler and blUnderer -canont carry that away with him. if he must go. Let Us rejoice in the hope that even legislation that blocks the way to greater and swifter progress will, in the years to come, like the Arab, fold his tents and pass out of sight on the dessert of life's waste places, and give way in the Providence of God to wiser council and conserva- tism.
 The week just ending has been marked by a more active trading in cheap and medium price homes, and the inquiries for homes in this class has been numer- ous, giving indications of a ready mar ket where such are offered on a reason able basis

BE NOT ALARMED! WE ARE ALL HEREI

The best people of this community will remain, and if we lose a few who will leave because the city as a whole pro- poses to rise to a higher plane of life. and are striving for better moral atmos- phere, who will lost most? the fellow who leaves. or those who remain behind with just that much less harmful influence to contend with?
 One of the worst things our market has had to contend with in years is the fool hardy and bull-headed policy calculated to drive cheap outside money from the state under the pretext of equalizlng and col lecting taxes that the state never has and never. will get, if at all except out of the pockets of the very people who cast the votes to put those into office who are responsible for this state of things and then blow little white soap bubbles into their faces and tell them that they are after equalzng things, and making these corporations pay taxes, when the only eff feet 1t will have is to place many peo- pie of this state face to face with d lot of maturing mortgages that they cannot get extended when they mature and in crease the list of foreclosures; force some people to sell that would not otherwise have to sell at a sacrifice and deprive them of the advance in real estate which the natural conditions warrant, if di- vested of these adverse self-mposed af- flictions of a people who were so un- fortunate as to cast their votes for those who can see no farther than their nose, and what is worse, apparently don't want to see any farther.

A Selling Record
 YES
Y EIS

During August we sold more than a lot per day at Tuxedo Park.
 We also sold 15 lots in Ensley Highlands in August.
 The reasons are good for this sales record. Tuxedo is inside the city limits of Ensley and between Ensley and the enor- nous improvements of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail road Company at Thomas. The prices are $200 per lot, 50x140. The terms are $10 cash and $5 per month.
 Ensley Highlands is the prettiest and most available residence section of Ensley. The car line splits the property in two. It is high and dry, equally convenient to Ensley and Birmingham.
