THE POWER or rnE ONION.

TeXas'is full of eNcrescences and alb
norn1allties, to say nothing of curios-
tiles and monstrosities in human form.
Yet ono of the latest revelations about
that desert State of the South is that
San Antonio Is city builded upon the
onion The cities do not have seals in
Texas. as formalities of any sort are
capital offenses there; but II San An
tonic ever reaches the stage of muni-
cipal civilization which obtains in other
Southern States, there should be en-
grayed upon Its corporate seal the
single word, "onionopolis."
The city owes its distinction TO the
Bermuda onion, grown in the Rio
Grande bottom lands Tie citizens or
San Antonio proudly admit this. Seven
years ago man named Nye, who came
far bought some land in Texas. He
was sorry afterward and thought he
had been cheated With originality,
not hitherto shown in4Texas since Its
creation, he wrote to the Department
of Agriculture and asked what he
could raise on the land. A near sight
ed scientist OF the Department wrote
back that, as the soil near San Antonio
is dry and sandy, the Bermuda onion
should be cultivated Mr.. Nye set to
work and made fortune out of the
pungent root. This year the Ber-
muda onion crop in the San Antonio
district sold on the market for more
than two million dollars Onions
brought in a profit of from $500 to $500
the acre.
Somebody was then inspired to try
cabbages. 1t was go, and now the
cabbage crop of tho Texas town is
worth Just cool million. Other gar
den truck was tried out, succeeded, and
now is worth annually three million
dollars
The Texas bards have meditated upon
the onion until they wept, but their
onion odes have failed prematurely,
for there is no suitable word TO rhyme
with onion. All! tho golden onion OF
Texas, city-builder, fragrant food, a
thing of beauty and a smell forever!

1T has done a great WORK here. u

INSURED of adequate support and this
assurance can be given this week, not
by nero words of sympathy, but by
actual contributions of money
The national organization of Young
/ Womens Christian Associations con
/ sisted last year of Te5 local associa
| uons Of which 600 were connected
/ with schools and colleges throughout
the land and 1875 were established in
cities, towns, mill-villages and indus
trial centres. The membership Of
these associations is about 10000. AS
We have said, the Association in Rich
mond was organized moro than twenty
work. that Is to say, It's material
equipment is substantial, but because
OF insunicent means 1t is not in posi- :
ton TO extend it's work in many dircc-
lions, and It's present appeal to tile
people of this town is for a small
amount of money to enable it TO be
more effective in it's work
The ladies who have interested
themselves in the Young Women,s
Christian Association represent the
best sentiment of this community. The
president of the Association is Miss
Caroline G.. Holladay. The yice-P resl-
dents are: DEra. O. p Wexford, Mrs. G.
Carlton Jackson, Mrs Beverley 4.
Crump, Mrs. a. Beirne Blair, Mrs. S. III.
1isrwes, Mrs. Mann S. ouarles, Mrs c.
II. Urner, Mrs. G. y. Wngo Mrs J.
Calvin Stewart, The Treasurer of the
Association is Mrs Charles o. Saville
the Recording Secretary, Mrs. Chiles
NJ Ferrell, and the Corresponding
Secretary, Miss Elizabeth Richardson.
Its Advisory Committee is composed OF
the following public spirited and ac-
tive business men of the community.
John /. Williams 7. A. Cary, o. SUM
mers Morton. d. o. Davis, w. S.
Ghoads a. Belrne Blair. Thomas P.

The fact that such men and women
are engaged in this work certihes its
deserving character to the people OF
the community. The active managers
of the Young Womens Christian AS
sociation have found the field white
for tho harvest, but have been unable,
because of their very limited re-
sources, to DO the things which arc
pressing upon them every day ana
which should be done for the welfare
of the community and the happiness of
tho race.
An active canvass Is in progress this
week. The Young Women's Christian
Association needs $4,000, as NC have
said. and needs it now. 1t should find
no difficulty III obtaining It. We could
name on the fingers of one hand a
hundred men in the community who
could give this amount without feel
ing it, This canvass is called the
"Thanksgiying Canvass and the Of
fering Will be called the "rhanksgiv-
ing Offering" The canvass viii close

sary to do more than to invite the

KNOCKING our THE FEE sYsrIrd

At the last session of the North Car
DINA Legislature u bill was passed
placing the county officers of some OF
the counties in that state on salary
instead of a fec basis. The Durham
Sun says that the salary of the sheriff
of that county is fixed at $4,000; the
iailors ut $3.50; the salaries OF the
deputies in East and West Durham at
500 the month; the salary of the clerk
of the Superior Court at S2,4o0Ithe year,
the salary of his clerk or assistant at
$500 the year; the salary Of the regis
ter of deeds at $500; the salary of his
deputy at $500; the salary of the treas
urer at $500 the year, and the salary
of the auditor at 500 tho month.

for the work these officers will have to
