Varieties of Fruit.

The question (which are the best
varieties of fruit to plant" is asked
more h any other one in regard to
fruit culture this time of the year
This is alone the question about
which one cannot give very SPECIFIC
advice for all conditions and localities
The choice of varieties depends upon
a number of factors, such a. the pur
pose for which the variety is to be
grown, upon the locality, environment
etc. Since it is the nature Of plants
to airy the same variety Or varieties
cannot be suited to all the varied
ideals, environments, and localities.
On the whole, while each section of
the country in time develops excellent
varieties, until this is done we have
to depend on the kinds which are
known to succeed at least in certain
localities. The Experiment Station
has been testing a number of varia-
ties of peaches, apricots, plums cher
ries, pears, apples, and grapes. From
the results at the station and from the
observations made by the writer in
other parts of the Territory on these
fruits the following list of varieties
are given as among the leading ones.
All of these may not do we'll in some
localities. There may be other and
better varieties, especially among
some of the late originations, many of
which are now being tested at the sta
tion and in the course of a few years
additional data will be had on the
subject.
Peaches given in the order of ripen-
ing. Alexander. Hyne's Surprise, Tri-
umph, Texas King or Mamie Ross,
Champion, alberta, Crother's or Pic
Quett'S Late.
Apricots are of no commercial i'm
portance but the Morrpark, Royal and
ST. Ambrose are among the best.
Cherries as a rule do not succeed
as well as they ought to. The sour
cherries do better han the sweet
kinds and the following ones are a
few of the pest ones. The Early Rich
mond, Ostheim, and Montmorency.
Plums, the Japanese varieties are
practically worthless for commercial
purposes. the native are a little better
while the European are good. The
Wild Goose (native) Goes Golden
Drop, Jefferson, Ponds Seeding (Hun
garian Prune), Yellow Egg, Robe de
Sargent, and French Prune are good.
Pears given in order of ripening.
Doyenne d'ete, Clapp's Favorite, Bart.
lett, Winter Nelis, Beurre Easter, Co
lionel Wilder and p. Barry.
Apples given in order of ~ripening.
Hed yellow
Maiden's Blush, Jonathan, York I'm,
perial, Ben Davis, Missouri Pippin,
Mammoth Black Twig, Black Arkau-
sas, Wine Sap, Winter Pearmain. The
Ingram. Black Ben Davis, Champion,
Red Akin, Senator, Delicious, and
King David are very promising new
varieties, and these are liable to re
place some of the old kinds.
European grapes, given in order of
ripening. Chasselas de Fontanb1eau,
Thompson's Seedless, Muscat Of Alex
ander, Mission, Purple Damascus,
Black Cornichon, Malaga, and Flame

All these varieties can be planted
for home or commercial use.

VENEZUELA HAS OPENED
CIUDAD BOLIVAR PORT

LONDON, Jan. 22.-Private advices re-
ceived here from Trinidad declare that
Venezuela has reopened the port Of Gu
dad Boliver, on the Orinoco river; but
that she has not yet removed the 80 per
cent differential sur-tax on importations
into Venezuela, into Trinidad and the
British West Indies, concerning which Sir
Vincent Carbett. the British minister at
Caracas, was recently instructed to make
representations to the Gomez government.
Great Britain considers this sur-tax to be
a violation of existing treaties, and conse-
quently the minister has been told to ask
for its immediate removal The foreign
office has been advised of the coming to
London of Jose de Jesus Paul, who is
expected here early next week, but the
continuation of this sur-tax is considered
such a serious matter that the minister
has been instructed to proceed.
Senior Paul will be received by Foreign
Secretary Grey soon after his arrival.
Other matters pending between Vene-
zuela and Great Britain, including the
salt and match monopolies, will be dis
cussed informally with the view of facil-
itating a settlement between the British
companies concerned and Venezuela.

til this morning when they ayoke for
breakfast.
The lynching took place within half a
block from the county Jail and about a
block and a half from the police station.
The police on duty in the station house
were not aware that the negro had been
lynched until notified by a newspapeT
man.
A remarkable incident was that In less
than twenty minutes after the man was
hanged his body had been cut down and
removed to the police station, the crowd
disappeared as If by magic.
Tailor Hugh GilIis who was on duty at
the county Jail said:
1--WE were not aware that anything
like a lynching was going to take place
and was reading in the guard roomi
door leading to the basement of the Jail
was opened as quick as a flash and In
stantly I was covered by two dozen re-
volvers. The men had entered the base
ment and come upon me and the other
deputy by surprise. begged them to let
the law take its course, but they were de-
termined and took the keys and forced
me to go up stairs and release the negro.
"It was utterly impossible, In the face
of the mob, to show. fight as I was at
their mercy. My partner was covered
and the other deputies who were asleep
in the building were held in their beds at
the point of revolvers until after the ne
gro was lynched. The keys were brought
back to the Jail and the men who had
them thanked the jailers.'
The scheme for entering the jail, which
has a basement opening on the street, was
so cleverly and quietly worked that there
was no time for defense of the building.

A long life of unselfsh devotion to char
ity and every good work that can claim
the efforts of noble manhood was
closed at 1910 o'clock on Friday morning
when John Fletcher Barclay breathed his
last at his residence, rs West Peachtree
street. He had suffered untold agonies
for several weeks past, but when the end
came he fell asleep like a child.
Since the Christmas holidays, when he
was stricken by an attack of acute in
digestion, Mr.. Barclay had been in very
feeble health, and for several days past
his life had hung by a slender thread.
Throughout the city innumeraSle friends
have been eagerly awaiting the news from
his bedside, with the hope that he would
be spared to resume his great work OF
love and sympathy.
No man in Atlanta has given helping
hand oftener to those in distress, ana no
one has oftener applied the balm Of sym
uathy to weak and wounded souls than
this good man. There are countless hearts
in Atlanta which have been warmed INTO
