Resolved, That we. the colored peo-

reviving the Lily White party in Ala
bama, we do enter our most solemn
protest against any individual or in.
dividuals or organization that will in
any degree give aid or comfort to the
Lily White party In this state; and,
Further resolved, That we will in
form our brothers in the northern
states as soon as we know Of any pres
idential candidate recognizing the Lily
White movement In the south so that
both in the primary election and in the
vote for president they may cast their
votes and their influence against any
candidate who recognizes the Lily
White party"

THREE MILLION TREES.

Spokane, Nov. 30.-MOre than
three million fruit trees, principally
apple, have been planted in Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho since the
beginning of the year, and it is esti-
mated that when they have come into
bearing in 1912 the apple crop OF
the three states will amount to co.
100000 bushels, equalling the wheat
yield of 1908. One and half mill
lion trees were set out in Eastern
Washington and Oregon this year,
and as many more will be planted in
1909 if the nurseries can supply the
demand Most of the trees are for
commercial orchards, some setting
out 5000 trees. Every nursery OPP
Grating in the Inland Empire has sold
it's stock, and it is likely there will be
much importing from eastern and
middle states and the Canadian prov
inces. The success of apple growers
in the northwest has been so great
that bonanza wheat ranches in varl-
Gus parts of the country are being
cut up for orchard purposes.
