Smyrna Ejos,

Smyrna figs ripen by the beginning of August. They are not picked, but when they reach a certain maturity they begin to dry. and consequently they drop on the ground In the morn- ing everybody on the plantations goes around with buckets gathering the fruit. which they carry to certain place where the ground is covered with dry leaves and straw (sergei) and on which they spread the fruit. exposing 1t to the sun, allowing it to remain there from two to three days It takes about three days to dry the ng if north winds prevail. as the at- mosphere Is then very dry. If how. ever, westerly winds are blowing, which means heavy dew at night. the fruit must remain exposed to the sun from five to seven days. This Is a dangerous period. as rain or even shower might ruin hundreds of tons of fruit lying on the ground. Heavy dews sometimes are just as detrimental. The proper atmospheric conditions to insure crop of large. sound. rich figs are west winds in June and July, fol- lowed by north winds In August. and from then on an occasional west wind every five or six days.

The Charleston Gazette a few days
ago published an editorial OH the po-
political troubles in Berkeley county
in which the editor took occasion to
express himself in a very biased way.
The learned gentleman insists that the
proceedings were entirely regular and
That nothing was done that the man
of the most tender sensiblities would
be justifiable in taking exceptions to.
The primary to select delegates was
an outrage and the parties who perpe-
trated the outrage do not attempt to
defend 1t. On the other hand they ao>
knowledge 1t and say that they cannot
afford to do so again.
1t has been our Personal intention to
submit to The wrong for the slke of
party unity but when we and our
friends are so unjustly condemned and
misrepresented before the people of the
state we cannot submit without say
ing something back.
We are fully aware that the gentle
man who controls the Gazette is TO be
the ultimate beneficiary of the outrage
and it is no wonder that his editor
looks at the matter as he does. Such
methods, we have long ago understood
are common in Kanawha, and we
have no doubt the Berkeley scheme
was inspired from that source, but the
democrats of Berkeley ale not made Of

half of them re disfranchised, without
protest.

The First National Convention

The national convention is an out
growth of state conventions. The first
party convention TO nominate a gov
ernor was held in Pennsylvania in
1908. The plan extended to other
states, and was quite generally adopt
ed in the cary thirties. Andrew Jack
son decided that the easiest way to Sc
cure the nomination of Martin Van
Buren, as his successor was to call a
national Democratic cor vention, made
up OF delehates who were in favor of
his candida e. He was not certain t.. at
he would accomplish the result he
sought in the old way. Accordingly, "a
presidential convention was called in
1886 Jaekson's lieutenants did their
work well, and Van Buren, was NOM
mated. A national convent ion had
been held in 1882 to indorse the pre-
vious nomination of jackson by var
ious states, and to nominate a Vice
President. But the Van Buren, con-
Vention of 1885 was the first of the
modern type.-George William Doug
