FREEZING OF TREES.

The Danger Limit For Most Variekiss
of Apples.
There is always an upper and a low
!er limit of temperature which a given
species or variety of a plant can with
stand When we get below 30 degrees
F. reach the danger limit for most
varieties of apples, and the records at
Orono (Me9 experiment station show
that we reached this limit In January.
1907, twice within few days of each
other.
1t Thawing Is Rapid.
When tree freezes, water ia with
drawn from the cells and cell walls.
forming crystals in the intercellular
spaces. II the tissues thaw gradually
the water Is reabsorbed and less dam
age is likely to result. If the thawinR
Is rapid the injury will be more seri-
Gus. Thawing is more dangerous than
freezing, and the less moisture a plant
contains at the time of a frost the
better it Is able to withstand low tenn
peratures. Injury from long continued
cold weather may be due alone to the
continued scarcity of water in the cells
resulting from its extraction by frost.
Snow a Protection.
We cannot explain why some indi-
viduals or varieties are more hardy
than others. The reason that trees on
exposed situations very frequently suf-
fer less than those on low ground may
possibly be due to two factors-frst
cold air drains off, and the slopes sell
dom record as low temperatures as
the valleys; second, the snow came
early last year, before the ground
froze, and remained on all winter. On
the exposed situations, on account Of
the snow melting or blowing off, there
was less protection from snow, and
soil and roots were chilled down early
In the season. The roots of such trees
would be less active in the winter, and
hence probably the tissues would con-
tain less moisture at the time Of the
freeze. This in measure may posi-
bly, account for their resistance.
Since we cannot control the weather
we cannot entirely prevent winter kill
ing. The danger can be lessened by
planting only such varieties as are
hardy or withstand winter killing to a
marked degree. = Professor Morse in

HeIIeborus Niger.

Helleborus niger, so Familiarity known
as the Christmas rose, is one of the
most pleasing and also one Of the east
est of all hardy plants to grow and Is
surpassed by very few things for u.s.
ing in cut state during the winter
months. For small gardens where q
large amount of space and time are
not at command they are admirably
adapted and produce very pretty eff

On Sunday night, May 81, 1908,
about 7:30 o'clock, at the rear of
W.P. Rhineharts store at Sweetwa-
ter, Richmond Williams, the eldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs Geo. w. Will
liams was murderously attacked
by one Wilkes, an ox-driver and
received seven or eight cuts with a
knife. Two of these were on the
muscle of the right arm and pretty
deep, going to the bone. The most
dangerous one though was a stab
intended for the heart that was
turned downward by a rib. This
plunge of the knife went to the
hollow Williams staggered into
the Rhinehart home a few minutes
after the frscas, bloody all over,
and asked for the summoning of
doctors and aid. He was quickly
cared for and Drs. Pool and Batson
gotten on the scene to dress his
wounds. Up to this writing he
is doing better than at first thought
possible, but he is in a very pre-
carious condition. His assailant
escaped Immediately after the cut
ting under the favoring shades of
night. presumably into Alabama
where he came from. Washing

about ten miles from
Leakesville on the railroad foot
ing it Eastward. Il IS believed
that rivalry over maiden and
a remark deprecatory to Wilkes,
let fall by Williams to the girl,
caused the trouble

METHODIST
MEETING CLOSES

The Revival meeting at the M. E.
Church South, under the preaching
of DIR. Harrison and aid of Marvin
Beeson, singer and Cornettist,
came to close Tuesday night. The
attendance all through was on an
average about like it usually is in
Leakesville on protracted meetings.
Fairly good to middling" as the
old expression goes. Not meager
and not crowded except on the Sun
day night service. The preaching
and work of these faithful, talent
ed and spirit-fl'el labourars accom-
plished some good results, not what
could be desired but the spiritual
tone was certainly raised some, and
some genuine conversions made.
Harrison breaches with the oldtime
fervency and showed himself to be
a real man of God. Personally he
is in demeanor about one of the
humblest men we ever met. In the
pulpit he is one of the clearest ex-
ponents of the Scriptures and doc
trines that we ever heard. His
reasoning is cogent, and his logic
we'll taken. AS personal worker
and Altar worker, he is certainly
marvel. Evidently his training
as a slun1 worker in the Salvation
Army corps matured him in this
respect. Like any other preacher,
who declares what he is persuaded
is the full counsel of God, he prob
ably caused some to hate as we'll as
some to love him. May the Lord
bless him and continue to use him
in pressing the battles of the
Christian forces against the powers
of darkness and sin.

came of the Tri-Council movement,
when it came up for ratification by
this general Business body of his
Church in this its first chance to
speak decisively as to its DISPOSE
ton in that Union measure. This
lmay mean the defeat Of the effort

ARE concerned, but not necessarily
as to two of them.
