our apples pack from twelve to
twenty to the crate and are packed
in excelsior.
The pineapple belongs to the
air-plant family, and although ii
requires moisture and earth to
grow in, it will not stand an ex-
cess of moisture. Therefore the
best bed is the one that stands
from 20 to "a inches above the
surrounding land. This will in
sure dry feet for the plants, even
in the rainy season. In this
neighborhood, no pinery has ever
been seriously injured by frost,
when the plants have been prop
erly shielded and nourished, even
when the temperature has gone
down to 2S degrees and remained
there for several hours. We do
not raise any but the Smooth Cay
enne variety, because of the many
good qualities which that species
possesses.

kindof green fruit that can be
shipped out of the state without
raising n howl from the tickle

We have quantities of cheap
land in this vicinity for the pros
pective growers of pines, and fine
facilities for shipping. As yet,
there always seems to be q ready
market for Smooth Caycnnes,
which no doubt is because they are
grown in such limited quantities.
Since the above was written,
experiments have been made by
several growers with saw-grass,
q long, stiff, swamp-grass, for
shading the pines TO prevent sun
burn, keep down the weeds and
protection from the cold. Last
winter the temperature went low
enough to freeze out plants that
had no protection, but those that
were covered with the grass came
out as unscathed as those pro-
tected by the wood-sbeds.
The experiment means great
deal to growers in this part of the
State, if the fruit can be grown
without the great initial outlay
for lumber at from fourteen to
twenty dollars per thousand, and
posts at not. less than twenty
cents each, all of which saving
means so much more. of an induce
ment for bringing in prospective
growers who may wish to go into
the business, but whose capital
prohibits their investing more

To those who are already in the
business, it means tho saving of a
great amount of money that must
be spent in keeping up the repair
of the sLeds that need to be re-
placed anywhere from seven to
ten years, an extremely heavy ex-
pense, with lumber at its present

Sofia. November 29.-M Malinof,
president of the council made the fol-
lowing statement today concerning the
political situation In Bulgaria:
THE chances of direct understand
ing with Turkey are not now great, but
the present government views the sit
uation with optimism. As matters
stand Turkey is bound to see sooner
or later the futility of working at
cross purposes which only will result
in bringing herself under the control
of others. Turkey recently has been
wholly under foreign guidance, but she
will not gain security until she gains
the friendship of Bulgaria. This is
realized by many enlightened Turks
including Kiamll Pasha, who is great
statesman.
..Bulgaria's financial condition is
good. despite the internal turmoil. Eu-
ropean fnanciers consider this country
an excellent customer. Local commerce
has felt the effects of the uncertainty
but it has regained It's normal con-
Hdence It is a remarkable fact tnat
there is no premium on gold in Bull

ence. which it is believed will occur In

REVOLUTION IS GROWING
MORE SERIOUS in HAYll

and It is thought that forces may be
landed from the warships now in the
harbor for the purpose Of preventing Pill
lage and injury TO the foreign residents.
At present there is considerable excite
ment in this city, for while there have
seen many revolutions IN Haxti, nons
have been so successful at the outset as
the present. General Simon is recognized
as a strong man and exceedingly pop
ular. He was ordered about a month ago
by President Nord Alexis to come to
this city to confer on political matters,
but fearing that his life would be ia dam
ger he declined. He had strong follow
ing at Aux Cages, and when he was de-
clared a rebel thousands fiocked to his
banner. His success in forcing General
Leconte and his followers to flee and his
later success Of routing the forces under
Gen. Cyriaque at Anse-Veau have prob
ably brought many more Haytiens to
his command.
In addition to this the sea blockade Of
the three ports. instituted by the gov
ernment has proved a failure.
1t Is impossible to ascertain the casual
ties of the recent engagement at Anse-
Veau. but It is understood that the gov
ernment forces lost many in killed and
wounded.

1t was apparent that Il q man
had crawled there In a iort to
escape the deadly fumes.
The body of the other sun ed man
was found near that of will. He had
placed his face in pool of water, which
all miners are advised to do when an ex-
plosion occurs, in a desperate attempt to
fight off suffocation until rescued.
The opinion was expressed today by
number of expert miners that the mine
will not be cleared of victims for sew
eral days.
Early today a small fire broke out in
the mine, but it was extinguished before
any serious damage was done.
Reports have been in circulation all
day that second and more terrific ex-
plosion is likely to occur at any mo-
ment. The company officials assert this
is not true There Is considerable gas
in the mine, however.
Conditions about the mouth of the mine
were disagreeable today. drizzling rain
fell and the weather grew cold. There
were few of the narrowing scenes usually
associated with mine explosion. Most of
the relatives are English-speaking peo-
pie. who bear their grief in silence. 1t
is estimated that one-fourth of the VIC
tins are Americans.
At short intervals new men are sent into
the mine to relieve others searching Tor
the dead Owing to the dangerous gases
and the mass of wreckase in the mine the
rescue work is slow and Is being carried
on with great precaution. Notwithstand-
ing the isolation of Mariana thousands
of persons found their way there today.
The undertakers are arranging for many
funerals tomorrow.
The bodies recovered today will be in
TERED before tomorrow night owing to
rapid decomposition. Disinfectants are
being used in large quantities. 1t IS
feared had the weather remained as warm
as Yesterday an epidemic of disease
would have resulted.
