less liable to rot than the smoother
varieties does not agree with my ex-
perience.
Neither can correct conclusion be
drawn from one or two seasons ex-
perience, for soil, location, fertilization
and culture also are factors in the rot
problem. Fruit on a rankly-grown
tree is much more subject to rot than
on one more moderately grown. Yet
/ think the weather has more to do
with it than any one factor. One
year all our early peaches were quite
subject to rot, while the next year
there was very little rot. Yet with UNI
favorable weather Champions were
practically total loss, Crosby, stump
and late varieties practically free. l
do not think the matter Of fuzz VS..
rot worth considering as a factor in
setting an orchard, except people do
not wish to buy fuzz.
In regard to hardness of bud. a
good frost peach we'll grown will stand
more cold than any other peach tree
we ever had on our grounds. And
varieties of the frost type Gf l may
call them so), Crosby, Pratt's, Hills
Chilli, ETC., are more hardy in bud
than many other varieties, especially
of the Crawford class, but with the
varieties of the Chinese type, which
bear young and have hardy bud,
what little hardness, If any, the fuzzy
varieties possess above them is much
more than Offset by their failings.-

OLD MUSKET IN A TREE.
Flintlock of Revolutionary Times Found
In Hollow of Log.

Lumbermen employed by the Pennsyl-
vania Lumber company found a Revo-
lutionary musket embedded in a tree cut
down near Shohola, Pike county, Pa.
A huge pine tree was cut down, but the
butt was defective and in order to Sc
cure a sound end to the log the diseased
part was cut off. In doing so it was
found that this portion of the tree was
hollow and the aperture had grown over
so that it was not observable to the
woodchopper. In the hollow was an old
fashioned fiint-lock musket, such as was
in use by the pioneers of this region.
The spot where the musket was found
is in the neighborhood of the bloody
battle which occurred between the
whites and Indians on July %, 1870. in
which the former were defeated, and it
is possible that the gun may have be-
lOnged to one of the wounded stragglers
of the defeated patriots.

Every dairy butter maker whose
product is known to be of uniform
good quality can now easily contract
all of their surplus at 25 cents per
pound the year round. And yet the
quality designated as common coun-
try butter" nearly always sells below
that price and during four or five
summer months goes as low as u
cents. Why-why will it's makers be
content to follow methods that spell
positive loss? Who can and will an
swer this question? THE Ruralist.

Cabbage Worms.

The common cabbage worm is
among the best known of all garden
pests, both as a larvae and in the
adult stage, when it becomes the COM
mon spotted, white cabbage butterfly.
The young plants should be sprayed
with arsenate of lead, 1 ounce to a
gallon of water, and the foliage kept
covered until they begin to head up
well. Water heated to 100 degrees
Fahrenheit will destroy all worms
which it hits, without injury to the
plants.

PUT srRErcHERs ON RUNNERS.
Novel Provision for Accidents in Winter
Sports in Switzerland.

In Switzerland, where almost every
person old enough to walk and young
enough to get about takes an active
part in winter sports, it is not unnat-
nral that there are many accidents.
Broken limbs or strained tendons are
sometimes the result of ski jumping and
tobogganing, and, in anticipation of such
accidents, stretchers mounted on run
ners are in readiness at we'll frequented
courses and Jumps, says Popular Me-
charles.
They are provided with runners so
that they can be slid along where the
way is smooth. When travelling over
rough ground the stretcher is carried,
straps being passed over the shoulders
of the attendants.

DURHAM RAISES BID.
CLmmittee Instructed TO Offer Site and
$4,000 In Cash,


The efforts of the Pythians Of
Durham to secure the location Of
the orphanage which that insti-
tuition hopes to establish have
been before the people for some
time. The committee in Char
lotte this week asked if the bid
could not be raised from $4,000
to $1,000 and the reply went
back at once that they could.
Quite a number of other
places in the state are after this
institution, but so far as report
ed, Durham is in the lead. How
ever, the committee having this
matter in charge will first visit
the cities offering the best sites
and most cash and determine
which is entitled to the orphanage
before the location is fully de-
cided. This committee consists
of Messrs. George L. Hackney,
of Asheville, A. E. McCausland,
Of Charlotte and j. d. Pridgen,
of Durham.

When it was announced that
the city aldermen had decided to
locate the new market house on
the corner of Foster and Watkins
streets there was some dissatis-

garding the place the market was
to be erected.
However, this opposition did
not develop Sufficient strength
to cause the aldermen to change
their plans, in fact when the
first public announcement was
made the land had already been
purchased, the deeds signed and
the trade settled.
Graders are now at work get
ting the ground in shape for the
new building and just as soon as
practical the work eof digging

FACTS OF THE CASE ARE FAMILIAR.
The Case Of Il. I. Edwards Against
Albert Y. SOFrel Creates Much
Talk. -SOrrel Arrested
Tuesday Night.

The arrest of Albert v. Sorrel
Tuesday night caused the talk
that had begun to wane to begin
afresh and the details Of the case
were gone over again and those
who are ever ready expressed
themselves freely about the af-
fair that had been brought to
light by the faithlessness of a
husband and wife.
The details of the case of HI.
T. Edwards against Albert Sor-
rel were told in our last issue,
and one telling of such an affair
is sufficient.
Mr.. Edwards feared that Sor-
rel would make way with his
property and leave town caused
criminal proceedings to be begun
and Tuesday night Sorrel was ar.
rested and placed in Jail because
he could not give the required
bond Of $1,000.
Wednesday all day it was ex.
pected that he would give the re.
quired bond, but such was moi
the case and he remained in jai
and had meals sent him from the
outside.

the look out and when any new
move is made will contest tn,

NORTH POLE IN WILMINGTON.

w L congratulate those who are concerned
upon the report that the North Pole has
been brought to this city and was placed on eX-
hibition at the debate at Scott Methodist Epis-
copal Church the other evening, to the delight
of the pastor the Rev. William G. Koons, and
numbers of other good citizens. 1t seems that
the Pole was captured by our genial friend,
Deputy Sheriff Joseph H. Bartlett who pre-
sented poem and pole at the same time.
There however seems to be some mystery as
to how the pole got there, but we have been
informed that some time ago our court in cham
bers issued forthwith summons to the Deputy
Sheriff to produce a pole in Wilmington. The
journey was hurriedy begun, the Deputy Sheriff
being accompanied by a detachment of the
Wigglesworth Walking Club and the George H..
Mccall Chorus. The posse got as far as New
York when the pole was fascinated by a song of
the chorus and came whizzng down by wire
less The pole was brought from New York to
this city in Judge Pennewill's automobile.
Colonel North Pole is really very entertain
ing and calm. We trust he will stay with
us for a long time. If he wants to locate an
industry in Wilmington, he need have no fear
that the price of land will be jumped on him.
When the land owners give their high figures,
Colonel Pole will reply with an icy stare.
But at any rate, whether Mr. Bartlett got the
real pole or not, he was responsible for a novel
bit of fun at the church.

ever existed. It is doubtful II It ever did
exist, except In the Imagination Of the
sensationalist While 500 or $1,000 bills do

that are new on the statute books. This
money was used for educational purposes.
