ALL FOR BENNETT.

Man Will Win Gubernatorial
Nomination.

Among those in attendance today
at the Democratic committee meet.
ing is George 1. Neal. of Hunting
ton, member of the committee
and Democratic leader in Cabell
county. He is fret a Bryan sdvo-
cate and next supporter of Louis
Bennett for governor. Being asked
concerning the outlook on the CUB
ernatorial situation Mr. Neal said:
IA number of good men have
been considered in our section for
governor, but sentiment seems to
have practically settled on Hon.
Louis Bennett. of Weston. So
far I have not found single Dem.
ooratio member of the Legislature
in which Mr.. Bennett was speaker,
that is not his earnest supporter.
This speaks a great deal for Mr.
Benefits ability as an officer, and
his personality. His business in
terests are large and veried. His
education and experience broad +,
and his dignity, courtesy and fair,
ness unquestioned.
He has been a oonsistent and
persistent party worker. The fact
that he has no faotional entangle.
ments probably appeal to our peo-
pie as strongly as anything that
can be said in his favor.
As candidate for the nomination
he belongs to the party; if elected
he will belong to the people of the

scale, but the young insects are white
and at first glance resemble tiny pieces
of white cotton on the underside of the
frOnd.
This insect is very destructive, and
its ravages soon show in the form Of
light colored spots that appear on tho
upper side of the leaf, proving that tho
insects have been satisfying their ap-
petiteS with the juices Of the leaf. A
dipping in tobacco extract will help in
killing this pest, but strong tobacco
solution is also liable to injure the tips
of the fronds. The growing tips Of the
nephrolepis fronds are quite tender,
and it is better to throw away plant
that is badly infested with this scale
than to risk further trouble with 1t.
Be very careful to plant odt none but
clean plants for stock, else the trouble
will become more marked the follow
ing season.
Instead Of risking fine specimens Of
new sorts of nephrolepis by continued
division of all the stock put a few in
bench solely for the purpose of in
creaslng the stock and leave the 9th
ers alone. Instead of mutiating good
sized plants when enough small plants
to increase the stock are not on hand
buy small plants of some one who has
them in abundance.

of evergreens, and where kept q
good ball Of earth about the roots and
quickly got the trees from the old to
the new location, so that there WAS no
drying out of the roots, have inyari-
ably had success, remarks a writer in
Country Gentleman.
The native white spruce and the ma
tive white pine are beautiful trees, the
former being found fully branched to
the ground at a known age of fifty
years. Many trees of this variety will
be found having a decidedly blush col
or-as blue as many of the sister vari-
ETY., the Colorado blue spruce. have
seen quite extended areas on the coast
Of Maine that were a perfect mass Of
blue The spruce delights in moist
soil, and this should be kept in mind
when planting the trees. Sandy soil
and dry sections Of country are COM
monty associated with pine trees, and,
while this tree does have the ability
to grow under such conditions, it does
not follow that it will not do very
much better as regards growth if Civ
en- moister and richer soil.
