Home of the Navel Orange.

"Bahia, Brazil, the home of the
navel orange, from which place the
late William G. Saunders imported
the first navel oral &c tree to the
United States, raises large quanti-
ties of this luscious fruit, but does
not export a single orange" said a
man formerly in the diplomatic
service in Brazil. Nearly every
family has an orange and banana
tree in the back yard, and some
have a number of trees. These are
merely for home consumption.
"Mr. Saunders, when he began
the reproduction and distribution
of the navel orange tree, the orig
inal of which, believe, is still in
the grounds of the department OF
agriculture, thought he could re-
produce the same quality Of orange,
but I do not think he succeeded, al
though the American navel orange
is fine fruit. 1t would be impossi-
bic to produce in Bahia any great
quantity of oranges Tor export be-
cause there are no facilities for
keeping the fruit after it is picked" "

Monster Nests.

In Australia are to be found the
largest, heaviest and most peculiar
nests in the world. These are the
nests of the jungle fowl, so called,
and are built in the form of great
mounds, tH average measurement
in height(1ing fifteen feet t, and the
circumfeA Ance $50 feet. The nests
are erected in secluded, sheltered
spots, and, as in the case of the
small nests of birds, they are skill
fully interviewer with leaves, grass
and twigs and such other suitable
material as the fowl may be able to
procure. A similar system in the
construction of nests is followed by
the bush turkey, whose home is,
however, more comprehensive in de-
sign. It's shape is pyramidal. 1t
has been asserted by Australian nat
uralists that the nests Of the bush
turkeys, which live in colonies, are
so large that to move them requires
the services of six or seven men,

The Civ of lspahan.

No city has a happier name than
Ispahan-the Rendezvous" When
visited by the traveller Chardm in
the early part OF the eighteenth
century it contained 173 mosques,
4s colleges, 1900 caravansaries and
s73 public baths. But the Afghans,
the local vandals, who did not care
for bathing, destroyed the aque-
ducts and slaughtered the bathers.
In the matter of great public
squares 1spahan can easily outrival
any European city. The Meydan,
or great square, is third of o mile
in length and about half that in
breadth. It was once encircled by q
canal, bordered by fine plane trees,
but these have long since vanished
along with the canal.

\ few years ago in England I had

"No, madam. I 'ope I know

A STRANGE DANCE.
Curious Religious Rites at Whitesun-
tide In Luxembourg.

A singular ceremony takes place
at Whitsuntide in the Luxembourg
town of Echternach. 1t consists OF
a procession to the tomb Of Will
brod, one of the patron saints of
the city. The Rev. Z. II. Passmore
describes this curious and plctur-
csquc proceeding in his book eur
ther Ardennc."
In this old corner of Europe the
idea of dancing to Gods glory lives
still. Religious dancing IS as old as
history and was once commM IN
tn church. The springprozcssion
of Echternach refrcshcs the philos-
opher because it trips right up from
old times ard ccrtifcs him that
nothing is absurd which is done sin
cerely. A man may smile at such
things; no gentleman can laugh at
it.
It is Whitsun Tuesday at in the
morning, a late day in spring. The
town is gay with wreaths, flags and
streamers, the windows ahame with
flowers. Twenty thousand people
fill the streets and stretch in dou-
BILE row across the bridge. A sense
of serious waiting fills the air.
The procession starts, with its
banners, tapers and 300 singers and
its clergy. All chant the litany OF
St. Wilibrod.
Suddenly an electric tremor
thrills along the whole cortege OF
pilgrims, instruments all along the
line take up the tune, and 10000
feet, not all light, but all fantastic,
are vibrant in the dance.
It is sort of Spbered polka,
three steps forward and two back.
Youth and the old man rejoice to-
gether, the sick and the hale, the
bent dotard side by side with the
saucy schoolboy. They dance for
health, for the state Of their par
ents and friends and for the ills OF
their beasts.
Some very old and infrm dance
by deputy, and many an urchin
dances Justify for several invalids.
Here a young mother dances with
her young child in her arms; here
an old man, whistling like a saw,
forces to the measure his rheumat-
ic bones. The pageant takes five
hours to travel three-quarters OF a
mile.
When all is done the tired throng
goes home.

Many Sumter People Don't Want Muf'

lOl IVA
Columbia, November 5:-Ihe
"inside facts" regarding the
movement started in Sumter to
prevent the return there OF
George W Murray. former negro
CONGRESSMAN and Sumter's big
~est landowner, for whose re-
turn from Chicago negotiations
are now penfin% between
Governor Ansel and the Govern
or of Illinois, are unexpected =
" laid bare in a petition tor
pardon which reached the
Governor from Sumter today.
Murray, it will be recalled
skipped from Sumter just as he
was about to begin serving
three years on his conviction OF
forgery in a land deal with
negroes. An indictment is also
pending against him there tor
perjury on the ground that he
swore falsely at his trial for
forgery. He was convicted IN
the spring of 1904.
Sentiment is much divided in
Sumter as to the desirability of
having him brought back there,
and it is probable that a counter
petition will be filed, asking the
Governor not to grant pardon.
The Governor will have to act
within the next few days, as
Murray can be held in Chicago
for only a limited time.
The petition for pardon is
numerously signed, the largest
number of sigDers living in the
Wedgefeld section of the county.
1t is striking fact about the
petition, however, that it does
not bear the name of a single
county officer, so far as the face
of the petition shows. There
are, however, about a dozen
white slgners of property and
prominence. Among those is +
D Knight, editor of the Sumter
Herald.
The petition, which asks for
a pardon upon condition that
Murray remain away from the
State, sets forth that he paid
bonds to the county on &C
count of the prosecution against
him amounting to $4,000 "with
the tacit understanding that
he would be allowed to remain
away from the State"
However, accompanying the
petition are two affidavits, set
ting forth that Murray was
wrongly convicted on the testi-
mony of two negroes, who have
since admitted that they swore
falsely, partly because they
were bribed and partly because
they were, intimidated by
Magistrate Richard Folk and
his brother Sam Folk. One of
the affidavits is from James
chatham, one of tine witnesses
on whose testimony Murray was
convicted. chatham says his
father, Scipio, signed the leases
Murray was convicted of forg-

The Rule Of Politics.

Representative Julian, writing to
his paper, the Salisbury Post. antic-
ipates a busy time in both the Sen
ate and House. this week. One OF
the chief things of interest in the
House will be the killing of Repre-
sentative Harshaw's bill, providing
for the election of county school
boards by the respective counties, in
stead of by the Legislature. 1t is a
good measure and a step in the
direction OF local self-government,
but we infer from what Mr.. Julian
says that it is regarded as a purely
political move. and will be killed fer
that reason. Politics ia responsible
for much Of the scotching OF the
wheels OF progress. If we could once
get Legislature not controlled by
politics, the people would have law

The day may come when politics will
not dominate legislation, but we fear
it is rather distant. The people
ought to be given local option and
local self-government, but it would
not be good politics to give it &c

Very Unfortunate, Indeed.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
There appears to be no way in
which the Legislature can make a
fool OF itself quite so easily as by adj
iourning in honor OF some person or
other. One House OF the hitherto
well-doing Legislature at Raleigh
has just taken the remarkable step
of adjourning for living mans
birthday. The man granted such
exalted honor is not great patriot,
prophet, sage or builder whom the
country and humanity should honor
in all proper ways, but class agita-
tor who regards his following az a
group arrayed against society at
large and its own Judge OF law and
morals where it's projects are concern
ed. At this very moment he Oc-
cupies an attitude of open defiance
toward the courts of the country; he
asserts his inalienable right to de-
stroy a mans business by intimida-
ting all who would deal with him,
and he has given notice that even
the United States Supreme Court
shall not say him nay. 1t is his
awowed creed that labor organiza-
tions should obey the courts only
when their views are in substantial
accordance with the decision. Grant
ing that he is an honest fanatic, few
intelligent people can regard him as
anything but fanatic whose activi-
ties are a menace to the country.
That there are other"class conscious"
fanatics more extreme and worse in
every way than he, does not render
him an ideal labor leader or wielder
of good influence over the labor
organizations of the country. Yet
this ia theman to whom a branch ofths
North Carolina Legislature has Gone
the most extraordinary honor. The
people of North Carolina have been
placed in a false light; it is made to
appear that they are adherents, in
fatuated adherents, OF Gompersism-
people whose Representatives ap-
prove avowed lawlessness and def
ance of the courts. How much good
such all advertisement OF North
Carolina to the world will do no one
need be told. That the resolution
might have failed had it not held
place between several petty measures,
is a circumstance which may in de-
gree excuse it's passage, but which
leaves its regretableness much the
same. Since Republican-Popul
Legislators, similarly off guard, ad-
iourned for the death of Frederick
Douglas, we do not recall any I'M
happier occurrence in a North Caro-
lima Legislature.
