DEEP WATERWAY.

The Alphabetical Times, comment
ing upon an article discussing the
question of a deep waterway to the
gulf for ChattahOOchee river steam
ers. has the following to say:
IF the Enquirer-Sun can arouse
the citizens OF Columbus 20 the i'm
pOTtance Of a deep waterway to the
gulf and beyond, il will have accom-
pliShed in part a work that Will live
for many years after its editor has
passed to the Beyond. Now that our
contemporary has begun the work, let
him continue it."
The value of such a waterway Is
recognized by all who have sven the
matter any thought Columbus is
very much interested in the PROPOSE
ton because such q waterway would
mean so much to the commercial IN
tereStS of this city.
As we have previously pointed out
when the Panama canal is opened
which viii probably be done in the
course of the next fifteen or twenty
years. such a waterway viii be nee
essary for the commercial interests
Of this city to grow and expand as
they should. Columbus is more vi
tally interested in the proposition
than any other city on the river be-
cause there is more at stake here
than elsewhere. But the interests u
the people of ApalachicOla are not
to be underestimate by any means
and if deep water from that point 70

Truck Farming

From the result of recent expert

10 be no reasonable doubt that this
section OF the state is especially
adapted to the culture OF some of the
early vegetables that have been the
source Of much revenue fer the south
ern and eastern portions of Florida,

Irish potatoes that some large potato

and begin shipping Irish potatoes by

A Tragic Example
of City Negligence.

The sacrifice of some Of the finest
shade trees III the city to make room
for the new sidewalk construction is
just now affording an almost tragic il
illustration of municipal negligence in
years gone by and it ought to con-
stitute a lesson by which the city
may profit in the years to come.
For years The Journal has been
trying to impress upon the public in
general and the city government in
particular the desirability of estab-
fishing a tree line upon every street
in the city. What we mean by a tree
line is line SO many feet from the
property line where trees must be
planted when they are planted in the
streets.
The city should years ago have es-
tablished this line by ordinance. The
position of the line on any street can
be determined by the width of the
street.
The most of the trees that have
been planted in Pensacola have not
been over two Feet from the sidewalk
line. Many OF them have been plant
ed within a foot of the sidewalk line.
Some of the trees planted in early
years were planted inside the present
sidewalk lines. In all OF these cases,
the trees ultimately grow under and
into the sidewalks and Will necessa-
rily some time have to be cut down.
No tree should be planted closer
than three feet to the sidewalk line.
Where there is a six foot sidewalk
this means that no tree should be
property line.
On a 6O-foot street, which is prob
ably the average width of many OF
Pensacola's streets, trees should be
planted in residence sections six feet
from the sidewalk lines. This would
give six feet for a sidewalk on each
side OF the street, "a feet for a road
way and IL feet for a grass plot on
each side of the roadway. A tree six
feet from the sidewalk would there
fore be in the center of this grass
plot. On wider streets the trees
should be planted still farther away
from the sidewalk
The new park plans will probably
include some suggestions relative to
this matter and the tree lines should
then be established before tree-plant-
ing time next year. Twenty-Five and
fifty years from now we do not want
to have the trees which We are now
planting destroyed because they in
terfere with the sidewalks. Trees
should be planted for many genera
lions and they can be if they are
planted right.

Destruction of Orchard Rubbish.

Just at this season Of the year,
those orchardists who have not al
ready done so, should make careful
inspection of the premises, removing
and burning all dead and dying wood.
1t is in just such places that many of
our most injurious orchard pests pass
the winter. And besides, such rub
bish services as an ideal breeding
ground for many of these insects. It
will only be few days now before
most of these insects will have left
their places Of protection to begin
their work of destruction upon the
budding orchards, then it will be too
I late for action. 1t is extremely im-
portant that some action in the mat
ter be taken Immediately. There are
many orchards in the State infested
with San Jose Scale that have been
pruned and the badly infested mater
ial left lying in the orchard. This
mistake should be corrected, because
such infested material is q menace to
the rest of the orchard and to the
whole community in which it is found,
being constant source of Infection.
Then there are those trees that are
heavily infested with the Shot-Hole
Borer, recognized by the small round
holes in the bark, resembling those
made by number 8 Shot and usually
a general unhealthy condition of the
tree. This insect passes the winter
as small white grub in its burroW
in the dead tree, emerging in spring
AS small brownish beetle. Trees are
often completely girdled by this IN
sect, causing them to die in the course
of a few weeks. Besides the two just
mentioned, there are numerous other
insects that inhabit dead wood and
rubbish lying around the orchard. No
one will attempt to deny the fact that
by destroying all prunnings, dead
branches and trees, and other rub
bish about the orchard the coming
generation of insect pests will be con-
siderably decreased, rendering con-
troll more practical and certain.
It is therefore to the advantage
of every individual owning an ORCH
ard, whether it be one Of commercial
Importance or merely one for home
consumption, to put forth every ef-
fort to get the orchard as free as pos
sible from any deaC or dying wood
before the pests emerge from their
winter quarters.
Don't put this matter off till tomor-
row or some time next week, nor pie
the prunines just outside the Or
chard, but destroy them completely
= by burning and do this Immediately.

That Disrersary Church at Livingston

Southern Christian Advocate.
Mr. Editor: I was in the town of
Livingston some weeks ago, and saw
the new church about which a good
deal has been written Of late. It Is
very neat and attractive building
on the outside. I did not 60 into It..
As to the propriety Of its being ac-
cepted by our church and dedicated
to the worship Of God. | for one do
not see any harm in it. Neither our
discipline nor the Bible, as | under
stand it, debar any person or persons
from contributing to the cause OF our
Lord money that is justly His own.
For when the Jews had become great
sinners and had robbed God, and
said that it was a vain thing to serve
Him, God commanded them to "brlng
all the tithes into the storehouse. -
And why? Because this money be-
longed to God; although much Of it
came from sorcerers, and adulterers,
and false swearers and those that op-
pressed the hireling in his wages, the
widow and the fatherless: as well as
from the few religious Jews "that
feared the Lord and spake often one
to another.' Read the third chap
ter of Malachi and see how God prom
ised to bless the people and the mon
ev, if they would return unto Him and
bring in the tithes. And even IN the
time of Christ on the earth, He told
His disciples land uS) to "make to
themselves friends Of the mammon
of unrighteousness' uuke 16.9) and
He did not hesitate to receive sinners
and eat and drink with them.
He came to seek and to save the
lost. And if it be wrong to receive
money or a chuch that is the result
of an immoral business, such as tine
dispensary or gambling, then IS it not
wrong for God to receive a vile sim
ner who comes to Him for pardon and
salvation? Will any one tell me
wherein the difference lies? Does not
'the altar sanctify the gift?"
It is said that on one occasion Mr..
John Wesley and his travelling COM
panion We're passing a place Of revelry
/ and dissipation, and the occupants
were singing a worldly song. Mr..
Wesley reined up his horse at the door
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-03-19

and listened unit! they were through
singing, and then rode on: humming
the tune that he had just heard. His
companion asked him why he did so.
Mr.. Wesley replied, II will take the
tune and give it to the Lord, but the
devil may have the words. - So |
think the Methodist church may say
the devil may have the dispensary,
but We will take the church at Living
Ston and dedicate it to the worship
and service Of Almighty God
Not only for educating the children
is dispensary money used, but for mis-
Sions, Sunday schools, paying preach
ers, etc., and we are generally glad to
get it. Sure! For where would you
draw the line between good money,
so-called, and bad money? Perhaps
there is hardly dollar in circulation
but has been in bad company some
where. The church can't undertake
to run ;ery dollar down that is Of
fered to her and try to find out where
all it has been. Besides, God has a
claim upon dispensary money, just
as well as upon any other money. Why
not? And I think there has been
more mere sentiment displayed in the
Livingston church controversy than
the Word of God and the Discipline
Of our church make any provision for.
I say let that church be made Meth
odist church and I do not think that
the State or county have any right to
object. The money belonged to the
town of Livingston and hold that
under the law the people there had
the right to use it as they saw fit. The
State got its share Of the dispensary
profits, Of course.
