"A Good Thing.

A movement is on foot ia this city
to have the annual encsmpment Of
the Uaited Confederate Veterans in
this city this .all. Many old soldiers
here are interested In the movement
and anxious to see Mexico get the
meeting. The following letter gives
all particulars:
R. s. Mckinney, Esq, Adlt Mexico.
Carthage, Nc, Aug. l, 1905.
Camp ESQ, G. G. VS., Mexico, Nc.
Ny dear sir aud eomrade: 1 write
you In regard to the annual State re-
union OF the O. @. VS., there appears
TO have been an invitation to the as
sociation 10 hold their State reunion
at Mexico, Missouri. We have had
some little correspondence with the
secretary Of the Business Mems Asso-
citation. but no definite arrangements
have been made, anu be suggested
that / get into correspondence with
you. he says the Business Mems As
ISOLATION Is waiting On your Camp.
II you people desire this reunion
held AZ Mexico this year action will
have to be taken pretty soon as it re-
quires some little time to make neces-
sary arrangements, and to fully notify
the Confederates over the state and
give them q chance to make their ar
rangements to attend the reunion.
IL has been customary heretofore st
these state reunions for the city and
camps where they are held to provide
for the paying Of a csrtain proportion
Of the expenses, for instance, to fur
nish a hall where the meetings may
be held, to furnish a band for the two
days OF the reunion, and TO provide
and arrange for q ball on the first
night OF the reunion for the young
er people, also to pay for the badges
for the reunion and some other little
expenses.
When We held 1t at Joplin two years
ago these expenses we're all paid by
the local Camps and the city OF Jop-
lin, at a cost OF $500.
Whether you people desire to take
hold OF this and help out or not we do
not know, but are waiting TO hear
from you. The reunion should be held
the last OF September or the very first
OF October. II you decide you want US
and will let us know, General Louder
milk and | will come to Mexico and
JON With your camp and the Business
Mems Association in making arrange
ments for the meeting and making out
the program.
The attendance at these reunions is
expected 10 be from I've to seven hun
dred, sometimes runs considerably
over that. AT Fulton last year they
had a considerably larger crowd than
they expected or course we would de-
sire that you arrange that your hotels
shall not raise the rates on US, and it
probably be necessary to arrange for
rooms In private families for quite a
number OF people as we should prob
ably have more people than your ho-
tells could accommodate.
Please let me hear from you at a
very early date and oblige
Yours fraternslly,
]. w. Halliburton,
Adjt. Gen. and Chief OF STAFF,

ways to The Fore In
Products.

The tremendous volume OF the apple
and pear industry OF the United States
is shown in a comprehensive report on
1atsubject compiled by w. N. White,
a recognized authority on the fruit In
dustry. Mr.. White takes each state
and territory separately and shows
how many apple and pear trees OF
fruit bearing age there were IN the
United States on June 30 last. OF
course, the extent Of the apple indus
try is many times greater than the
year industry, the number Of the ap-
pie trees In the Union reaching the
tremendous total Of 2Ol, 1914 ,642 trees,
whereas the number OF pear trees Is
II, 7l6,l84.
Missouri heads the list Of states and
territories 10 the number OF fruit
bearing apple trees, while California
is first In the number Of pear trees.
In Missouri on June 80 there we're 20
040, 1893 apple trees, while the number
OF pear trees in California was 2,512,-
500. New York Is second In both in
dustrtes, the number Of apple trees in
this state bearing fruit being liz,
e32, while the pear trees In this list OF
apples states, with Ii, 450,0O6 trees;
Ohio fourth, with Il, 1859, 615, and Kan
sas fifth, with 7l,s4s, 073 trees. Other
states that produce tremendous apple
crops are Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Virginia and Kentucky. Delaware,
with 1,253 apple trees, is at the foot Of
the column, and North Dakota, with
2,35l trees, next to foot In the list OF
apple states.
In the number OF pear tree Mich
igan is third, with LIS, ITO trees;
Texas fourth, with 1,044,680, and New
Jersey fifth, with 926 III trees. North
Dakota Is & bad last in the pear in
dustry there having been, according
to Mr.. Whites figures, only three
fruit-bearing pear trees in1that state
on June 30. Wyoming, with 1872, and
Delaware, with LIB trees, follow
North Dakota with the fewest mum.
Der Of pear trees.
Mr.. White says that while the ap-
pie and pear industries do not rank
with the gram and wheat crops, the
figures show the magnitude Of the
former industry, and that reckoning
apples at forty and pears atsixty trees
to an acre, 1t will be seen that the
total acreage is above S million, which
is SO per cent greater that the potato
crop, while the harvesting OF the crop
gives employment TO five times as
many persong as the potato crop.
