Orange Soils.

In the last number of the Califor-
MIA Cultivator, the editor discusses
the question of suitable soils for
orange culture. From his article it
will be seen that oranges are grown
in California on much heavier soil
than is found in the orange belt of
this state. Possibly some that is as
stiff may be found in West Florida,
but oranges are not grown on a
large scale in that part of the state,
a few trees are set and some oranges
grown for home use and local mar
ket, but it is not considered a part of
the orange belt.
One thing we have noticed, which
is that trees set on high hammock
land where there is no hard subsoil,
but where the heaviest rainfall will
soak away in few minutes after the
rain stops, will grow the finest kind
of fruit. The Cultivator Says:
1t asked which are the best orange
soils, it would surely be hard ques-
ton to answer. We sometimes think
it is not SO much what particular
kind of soil is best as it is the treat
ment that is given the grove after it
is planted The situation has as great
an influence as anything perhaps
Soil that is heavy and soil that is
light in texture will both produce
good oranges which means also good
trees. When planted on the most
sandy soils which have substrata that
will not allow the water to drain off
too rapidly, orange trees grow to per-
lection and produce fine fruit Trees
planted on soil so heavy that it will
crack when allowed to become dry,
will also produce the same If the
trees have sufficient moisture and the
proper kind of fertilizer and enough
Of it, the trees will grow and produce
good fruit, provided the situation is
proper and good care is taken of
them. These two last named re-
quirements mean the difference be-
tween success and failure. Trees
grown in situation that is too cold
will not bring profit to the grower,
no matter what the soil or care is,
STILL many young groves are being
planted in such places. The last few
years have been favorable to the or
ange grower and the territory is be-
ing expanded in some places, beyond
the safety line. This has been done
before and followed by regrets. The
orange tree will stand much more
rough treatment than the great ma
jority of other kinds, but it will not
give profit unless the situation is
within certain temperature lines, no
matter what the treatment may be-
We recently saw in the newly open
ed desert region, orange trees grow
ing thriftfully and bearing good crops
on soil that drifted in the wind and
would not resist the pressure of the
foot on unplowed land Trees just
as thrifty and productive were grow
ing on soil, which, when irrigated one
day, would crack open the next. The
climate seemed to suit these trees,

A Mad Dog.

AS you we'll know, we are not in
favor of keeping so many dogs. A
good dog may be very useful on a
farm, but if you must keep one, do
not abuse it; it is entitled to as good
treatment as any other stock on the
farm. We hope that none of our
readers would be guilty of such
cruelty as is narrated in the follow
ing item from the Dog Fancier:
| had an experience last September
that I never shall forget. One burn
ing hot September day | drove into
farmers barn-yard and stopped un-
der a shade tree to let my horse rest.
The door Of the house opened and
Mr.. B stepped out with a shotgun.
Hello, John! Are you going hunt
ing?" I asked
mo; Our dog is mad.'
"Where is the dog?'
"DOWn by the corn crib
| stepped out of my buggy and
started with him for the crib, which
was located about twenty feet from
small barn. There was the poor
dumb brute, with a heavy leather
strap around his neck and tied with
rope to a ring on wire running
from the corner Of the crib to the
barn. When we got in sight of the
dog he began to jump and tear at the
rope.
"What is the dogs name?" I asked
"Watch.'
I started to go to the dog and
John caught me by the arm. Don't
go near him, he will bite you"
'How long has the dog been tied
there?"
1--WE went away yesterday morning
to thrash for Wilson and we left
Watch here to guard the corn-crib."
There was the poor dog, left for
thirty-six hours in a burning sun
without drop of water, to guard
crib of 6fteen-cent corn [ walked
up to the dog and cut the rope and
led him to the well. pumped some
water in a cup and gave him a small
quantity to drink. The dog did not
offer to bite me- He was too glad
to get away from such place.
John did not speak for some time,
but finally said, 81 never thought of
giving him water. I will never tie
that dog again"

tlOn OF the products that Florida
raises, such as cotton, fruit, syrup,
sugar, naval stores, lumber, phos-
phate, etc, but it cannot be denied
that a greater demand may be Gre
ated for the products of F1orida's
fields, gardens and woods, says the
Clay County Times.
The population of other states in
the union is increasing and Florida
should enjoy it's share of the in
crease. Why should other states
grow richer and more prosperous
each year by reason of increased pop
ulatlon, while Florida remains unde-
veloped by reason of an unincreased
population?
We find no argument whatever in
the statement that there is no de-
mand for the production of Florida
that is not now supplied. If every
hundred and sixty acres of tillable
land in the state were a farm wav-
ing with grain, white with cotton or
luscious with fruit, there would be,
somehow, demand created for the
products.
There are many necessities and
luxuries that can be produced in
Florida to greater advantage than in
other states, and at less cost than
other states can produce them be-
cause of the exceedingly mild winter
climate. Take for instance, long sta
pie cotton, chickens, fruit, sugar, to-
bacco, vegetables, cattle, hogs and
sheep. No state in the Union can
produce these in better quality or al
as small price, because the climate
is SO favorable for their production.
Florida is practically an undevel-
oped state It's great resources are
unknown even to those who know
it best. The bulk of agricultural op-
erations have been more experiment
tai than anything else, and of course
many failures have been the sole re-
ward Of many determined effort,
only because those who have tried
have lacked in a proper understand
ing of how to handle the soil under
the influence of the climatic cOndi-
tions which prevailed in the state.
While there have been many fail
ures there have been many successes
and these successes have encouraged
others, and as result Florida's
growth in wealth the past few years
has been wonderful.
With new settlers will come new
experiments and these experiments
will develop unknown possibilities.
A few years ago it was thought that
Cuba and Sumatra were the only
producers Of fine cigar tobacco. But
now, after a few years Of successful
and earnest effort it has developed
that grade of cigar tobacco can be
raised in Florida which compares
favorably with the weed of her island
competitors, and today Florida's to-
bacco crop is worth thousands of dol
lars each year, and it bids fair to
mount up into the millions within a
few years.
Now who will say that Florida
does not need more men to raise to-
bacco? Who will say the state does
not need more men to raise sheep,
hogs, chickens, fruit and vegetables?
If Florida ever becomes rich and
powerful state, it must depend large
ly upon immigrants for its wealth
and power, because there are not

Father Returns Home to Find His
Baby Burned to Death.

The eight months old child of Mr..
and Mrs. J. c. Richardson of Blu
ford township was burned to death
last Thursday evening. The mother
had gone out to milk, and neigh
Dor, Mr.. James Bigham, passing
by, saw volumes of smoke pouring
out of the house. Fastening in, he
found the baby on its face on the
floor, it's clothing burned of and
its whole body horribly burned.
He called the mother, and the lit
tie child lived only few minutes.

and who have not some known
and visible means of making a
fair, honest and reputable liveli'

attendance on some educational in

reputable livelihood is construed to
mean reasonably continuous en-
plopment or sufficient income or

quarterly under oath as to the
presence of such persons and are to
so certify to the clerk Of the Supe-
rior Court.

derstood that some kind Of railroad
legislation is going through, and
the many bills aimed at different

on Thursday and Friday, and the
big men of the Southern, Seaboard

They contended that they cannot

Travelling Man Here With Small
pOx.

Last Friday night Mr.. L. Il.
Stubs, a travelling man of Rich.
mond, Va, came down on the Char
lotte train and walking into the
English drug store, asked for some
thing for his blood, stating that he
felt quite bad and had had chill
at Cherryville that day. Dr. Blair
was present and taking look at
the stranger, informed him that he
had smallpox. That was one sur.
prised drummer, but like a gritty
fellow, he quickly resigned himself
to the idea of making the most of a
bad situation. Like a lone Indian
he stood out on the public square
until DIR. Blair could chase around
and find a place to take care of
him. Now, to find anybody who is
willing to take in a stranger broken
out with smallpox, can well be i'm
agined to be a pretty stiff job. But
DIR. Blair was not long in doing it.
1t having been some time since
smallpox was prevalent here, the
pest house has fallen into innocuous
desuetude. The only thing to be
done was to find family who had
had the disease and were willing to
take in and care for a stranger.
Mr.. JEFF Starnes of Buford agreed
to take Mr.. Stubs in, he and fam
lily being immune from having
themselves had the disease. DIR.
Blair and Mr.. Stubs were soon on
the way to Mr.. Starnes', where the
patient was made comfortable and
is getting on nicely. His attack is
of a mild form of the disease.

The spirit of the meeting was

Watts law. a greater watchiulness
against infriugements of the laws
against liquor. No demand for
State prohibition was Incorporated
in the platform, though the prin,
eiple was endorsed.
A feature of the convention was
the ovation given the address Of
Governor Glenn last night. He
denounced the liquor evil, an

Suits Begun on Account Of Hamlet
Wreck.

wadeshoro Messenger and Intelhgencer.
Mr.. J. ID. Bowen, the conductor
in charge of the Seaboard Air Line
passenger train which was wrecked
near Hamlet and twenty-five or
twenty-three persons killed, sew
eral months ago, has brought suit
against the road in New Hanover
county for $4,000 ON account of
injuries received in the wreck.
Perhaps il is not generally known
that Judge W. Il. Council, who
held court here last week, was Sc
yerely and probably permanently
injured in this wreck. Prior TO
the wreck Judge Council was a
splendid specimen of physical man
hood, but now it is necessary for
him to use a large cane in getting
about, and it is said he suffers
greatly from the effects of his in
juries.
David Biles, colored, was a hap.
py negro Saturday, when he was
given a check for his part of the
-, 600 recently recovered by him
from the Seaboard Air Line rail
road in a suit for damages on ae-
count of personal injuries received
in an accident at Hamlet while he
was in the employment of said road.
David is an honest and industrious
colored man who is given an excel.
lent character by his neighbors,
