b. r. r.. NEEDS MORE ROOM.
Capt. Anderson Appears Before the
Anderson City Council.
(Anderson Mail, 14th.)

Sdpt. y. IL. Anderson Superintenaz
ent of the Blue Ridge railroad, APP
peared before council at the meeting
last night and gave notice that the
city is trespasser on the railroad
property in the use of the street
which runs parallel with the railroad
between the railroad and the Ander-
son Cotton Mills.
Capt. Anderson stated that the
1Xoad had no use for the property at
: resent, and that he would be will
Ing for the city to use 1t as street
just as long as the railroad did not
need 1t, but he wanted the ownership
of the property settled now, so that
IT the time should come when the
road would need the property it
could acquire possession at once and
without litigation.
The Blue Ridge railroad claims a
right Of way Of 200 feet through the
city, 100 feet on either side of the
center of its track. This right of
way was given by the Legislature
and the old town council when the
road was first chartered. When the
Anderson Cotton Mills was built in
1899 the right Of Nay VAS not in
use at that point, but was an old
field. Soon after roadway was
made between the mill and the rail
road track, and this has since been
treated as a street by the city. Curb
ing has been placed on one side of
the street and the street has been
worked by the city council just as
other streets for number of years.
q v Council last night instructed City
Attorney Hood to look into the mat
ter and report at the next meeting
OF council
While he was talking last night
superintendent Anderson said that
he would need the street for side
tracks, ETC., If the Blue Ridge road
should be completed over the noun
tains, but he would not say that the
work of completing the road would
be started at once. One or two men,
bers of council remarked that they
would be glad enough to give the
railroad that street, or any other
street that it might ask for, If a
promise would be given to complete
the road over the mountains without
delay.
Despite Capt. Anderson's refusal to
commit himself to the plans Of the
company in the immediate future, it
was believed by some of the men,
bers OF council that there Is some-
thing in the wind. They have an idea
that the railroad officials are getting
things in shape to begin work on
the extension over the mountains
without great delay, and that this
matter Of the street Is one of the
details.
1t Is thought likely that the coun-
Gil will acknowledge the railroad
company's title to the property with
out protest, but that 1t will continue
to be used as a street until the rail.
road company has need for it for it's
own uses.

Chicago have been testing passenger
motor cars. The Rock Island has
been using an oil burner. On August
8 it received a gas electric" car. and
some officers Of the road with invited
guests made a trial trip from the La

The Atchison. Topeka and Santa
Fe also has one of the gas-electyic
cars, and a part Of its officers made a
trip in It one day last week. This car
is to be put in service on the Southern

The Queen Has Swooned.

The Shakespeare Club, Of New Or
leans, was noted for its amateur per-
formances. Once, social celebrity,
gorgeous in the costume Of a lord in
waiting, was called upon to say: THE
queen has swooned."
AS he stepped upon the stage his
friends applauded vociferously. Bow
ing his thanks he faced the king and,
in high-pitched voice, said: THE
swoon has queened."
There was roar Of laughter. He
waited patiently until 1t had subsidized
and tried again: 1.-THE sween has
cooned."
Again the house roared and the
stage manager in voice that could
be heard all over the theatre, said
Come off, you doggoned foolR'
But the ambitious amateur refused
to surrender, and in rasping fall
setto, as he was being assisted off the
stage, screamed: "The coon has
sweened!" -Everybody's Magazine.

A PAYING ORCHARD.

once had an enterprising neigh
Dor who planted forty acres of APP
pies. He cared for the orchard well
and it thrived, but before it came into
full bearing this neighbor died and
the farm was sold to stranger for a
low price. The first year this stranger
moved onto the farm there was
heavy crop of fine Baldwin apples
that were sold for over $4,000.
Every year since this orchard has
borne abundantly. This forty acre
orchard was worth III fact as much
as the stranger paid for the entire
100 acres. Therefore the unfortunate
man who planted this orchard, or his
heirs, in selling the farm, gave away
the farm, house and barns and 100
acres Of good land.
This year of great scarcity Of APP
pies, the orchard bore abundantly and
the owner sold the fruit for $4,000,
the buyer to do all the picking, grad
ing and packing and the buyer to
furnish barrels.
So you see that a good thrifty
young orchard is a pleasant thing to
have around the place. 1t is not diff
ficult to be the owner of good or
chard. 1t costs but little to plant It.
1t will grow while you are asleep or
attending to other business. 1t will
do something more for you than to
bear fruit. It will ornament your
farm. I do not know of any more
beautiful object on the farm than the
apple orchard. If you want to sell
your farm, you will be surprised how
much more quickly it will sell on ac-
count Of having good orchard on. IT.

IN THE ORCHARD.

In, planting trees do not get them
too close. Proper distances for stand
ard sizes are as follows: Apples,
thirty to forty feet each way; pears,
twenty to thirty feet each way;
plums, sixteen to twenty feet;
peaches, sixteen to twenty feet;
cherries, sixteen to twenty-five feet;
ounces, eight to fourteen feet.
Try your hand at grating. Fruits
with seeds, like apples and pears, are
best. Stone fruits do better if budded
in August. A sharp knife and good
grating wax are indispensable. The
best formula for the latter is -four
parts resin, two parts beeswax and
one part tallow. The main trick is
to get contact between the cambium
layer or inner greenish bark Of the
scion, and the stock, and to cover well
with wax.
Cut out last years bearing canes
from blackberries and raspberries
and run a furrow or two through the
rows to keep them in line.
uncover the strawberries now, but
leave some hay or straw under the
plants to keep the berries off the
ground
In pruning trees, mark the limbs
to be cut before climbing the tree.
This can be done with whitewash
brush and long pole.-Indianapolis

THE LEMON CUCUMBER.

Geo. f. Brown, orchardist and
truck gardener at Spokane Bridge.
near Spokane, Wash, has succeeded
in growing what he proudly terms a,
"lemon cucumber" This product,
which is neither wholly fruitnor veg
etable, but combination Of both, is
the result of a series of experiments
covering the last six years, following
graduation at the agricultural de-
partment Of the University of Wis
consin. The lemon cucumber is al
most spherical, but larger than a
lemon, and. besides having a thick
skin and unusually sweet meat, it is
entirely free from the qualities Of
producing i'll effects upon the stom-
ach.
One acre of young orchard land
with the cucumber growing between
rows of trees yielded fully $500 worth
of the fruit. In LLAMA Farmer.

USE FOR ANTIQUES.


The use found for antiques is
sometimes amusing. Recently a gor-
geous soft cushion was worked by a
fashionable woman from an old en-
broidered waistcoat, inherited from a
French ancestor, who had been cele-
brated beau and bon vivant AS the
corners did not quite reach to the
cushion corners she supplemented the
waistcoat, which was of salmon satin,
with pieces from priests vestment
that she had picked up with some
Chinese loot, using it also for the
back. The pockets, with their silver
lace, she left to tuck her handker-
chief in when reading on the divan
it was to ornament. New York

A novelty in silk shows corded

The use Of the button has become
a fine art. For coats the buttons are
almost always large and compare
lively few Of them are used.
Bedford cord is an old favorite that
has come back. It is lighter in weight
than the old-time version--a cotele
weave, they call it abroad.
Many women prefer spun silk hos

Shape. Size and Color OF Paper Money
of the Nations.

of the Nations.
The only paper money that is ac-
cepted practically all over the globe
is not money at all, but the notes
OF the Bank of England. These notes
are simply printed in black ink on
Irish linen, water-lined paper, plain
white, with ragged edges. The rea-
son that badly soiled or worn Bank
OF England note is rarely seen Is that
notes which in any way find their way
back to the Bank are Immediately
cancelled and new ones are issued.
The notes Of the Banque de France
are made OF white, water-lined paper
printed in black and white, With nu-
merous NEUROLOGICAL and allegpfical
pictures. They are in denominations
of from twenty-five francs to 1000
francs.
Bank of England notes are OF
somewhat unhandy size--fve by eight
inches. South American currency re-
sembles the bills Of the United States,
except that cinnamon brown and slate
blue are the prevailing colors. GerL
man currency is printed In green and
black, the notes being in denomina-
tions OF from i've to 1000 marks. The
e-thousand-mark bills are printed
on silk fiber paper.
1t takes an expert or native to.
distinguish a Chinese bill from a
laundry ticket If the bill is Of low
denomination, or a firecracker label
If for large amount, the print being
in red on white or yellow on red, with
much gilt and gorgeous devices. Ital-
ian notes are of all sizes, shapes and
colors. The smaller bills, fives and
ten lire, are printed on white paper
in pink, blue and carmine inks.
The most striking paper currency
in the world is the 100-ruble note of
Russia, which Is barred from top te

bow, blended as when sun ray
