Table Fruit Trees.

The little tree, gnarled and gray,
was only two feet high, yet in it's
thick green foliage many small red
and yellow apples cleaned.
Eyes, it is the very latest idea"
said the florist. "We hope to have it
well under way in time for the social
aso that begins at Easter. We
hope to have ready for the market
the innumerable apples, peaches,
pears and oranges that are now be-
ing grown on dwarf trees in our
nurseries. The new idea is to bring
on the fruit, at a dinners end, not
piled helter-skelter on a great dish.
but growing on its own tiny tree.
The guest extends her bare white arm
and plucks with her slim hand from
the tree the fruit she desires. Could
anything be more charming?
"Our fairy groves of fruit trees
at the nursery are none of them over
two feet high. They vary in g
from three to seven years. A Jap
anese taught us the dwarfng process.
OF course, this new idea won't catch
on unless the dwarf fruit are per-
feet. We haven't got them quite per-
feet yet. They are just a shade sour.

Many Want Jobs,

Raleigh, Special.-Governor Kitch-
in says he is receiving many letters
from people in various parts Of the
State asking to be appointed as in
spectors of illuminating oils under
the operation of the act passed by
the recent Legislature providing an
inspection system for North aero
lima, provision being made for ten
inspectors, one for each congressional
district, the pay for each not to ex-
ceed $1,000 per year. The Governor
says, however, that he finds that the
appointments are not to be made by
him, but by the State Department of
Agriculture. The act becomes oper-
ative July l, and will necessitate the
testing of, all Illuminating oils offered
for sale in the State, the inspectors
tag of approval being necessary on
every package of oil before it can
be offered for sale at retail.

Pitt County Teachers.

Greenville, Special.-Pitt county
has a teachers association that ranks
with the best in the State. 1t has a
membership considerably above one
hundred, holds meetings once a
month and is attended by practically
all the public school teachers in the
county. Through the efforts of the
association, led by the county super
intendent of schools, Prof. W. II.
Ragsdale, educational interest has
reached a high pitch over the entire
county. In addition to the splendid
programme participated in by various
teachers of the county, a prominent
educator from different colleges in
the State is secured to address each
meeting of the association. The ad-
dress at the meeting last Saturday
was by Prof. J. Henry H~ighsmith, of
Wake Forest College, and is pro-
nounced one of the best the ~assoeia-
has ever heard.

State Officers Cluh

Raleigh, Specialize North Caro-
lima State officers are organizing
themselves into a social club with a
limited number of outside members,
the indications being that the organi-
cation will come to be quite a feature
Of interest in Raleigh. The entire
Woman's Club building, west of Cap
itol Square, has been leased, except
the assembly room, which the women
will retain for meeting purposes. 1t
has been a matter of dissatisfied COM
ment for some time among the State
officers that they had no place where
they could come together in a social
way and exchange views without the
formalities of some official session
or conference. To Hon. B. F. Dixon
State auditor, is due the credit for
having hit upon a solution of the
difficulty in c%onceiving the formation
of the club.

Cloers' victims Increasey

S~tatesville, Special. Additional
charges against the Cloer brothers
Robert and Joe Cloer, the noted
check fashers who are in Jail here
awaiting trial, continue to pile up and
1t Is probable that the number of
their victims will never be known.
There are probably many victims who
know that the Cloers are now in Jail,
but they don't care to let it be known
that they cashed bogus cheeks be-
cause the telling will not bring
back their money, and few of us are
anxious to let it be known that we
have been taken in OF worked by a
sharper. This is preliminary to say
ing that Mr.. r. F. Burton, cashier
of a bank at Marion, was shown a
photograph Of Robert Cloer-the one
who operated most extensively-the
other day and recognized him as the
man who passed a forged check on
the Marion bank. This is the first
case to turn up from the Marion Sec
ton.

per cent.-would never have been

Distress Among Women.
Mary E. Dreier, president Of the
Women's Trade Union League, said:
This year the distress among
women workers has been greater than
ever before. 1t is pitiful. The saw
ings of years have been exhausted,
and to this misfortune is added a
woman's constant dread of sickness.
Others constantly fear being thrown
out Of work, and this is too often the
case. Manufacturers do not now lay
in a large stock which will keep these
women busy. They fill orders on
short notice. They want fifty girls at
once. The girls complete the order
in two days and are then dismissed.
