The year 1913 promises to be the
most successful one in the history of
the West Virginia Sunday School AS

which saw many notable achieve
ments accomplished. Secretary A. T..

work for the year and Is planning re
newed activities along many different
lines.
One Of the principal features OF

school teacher and minister, has been
selected to have charge of the Sun
day school work among the colored
citizens OF the State and will begin
his duties about April l. One-half OF
his salary will be paid by close per
sonal friend of Secretary Arnold, a
prominent Christian philanthropist OF
Boston, who is especially interested
in the welfare of the negro race.
The present field force Of the asso-
citation will also be increased by the
addition of John Ray Clark, OF West
Union. Mr. Clark will assist in the
general work about the office and
throughout the state, and Will begin
his duties as soon as arrangements
can be completed

GINSENG WILL
GET RETURNS
North Carolina Grower has Found
That it is Easy to Get the
Coin.

The following article is taken
from a North Carolina paper and
shows something of the possibility
of ginsing in this section:
Behind carefully guarded doors
in the second story Of the Peoples
National Bank building there's
900 pounds of a strange and valu-
able herb gathered in the noun
tains of Henderson county. There's
900 pounds of it. In drying it will
shrink in weight to 800 pounds
when it will be worth almost its
weight in silver.
It's ginseng pronounced jim
seng)-the property of Captain
M. C. Toms, who some time ago
sold a similar crop for somewhere
in the neighborhood OF $4,000.
Eventually the heather Chinese
will consume this product of Hen
derson county for the aforesaid
heather believes ginseng has rare
medical attributes possessed by no
other herb in the wide, wide
world. The American doctor
laughs at this but the Chinaman
persists in paying a tremendous
price for his dope, just the same.
Present quotations on the herb
are from five to eleven dollars a
pound. So at the top market
price the ginseng now in the Peo-
The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1913-11-13

piles National Bank building is
worth $500. The roots, which
look much like small parsnips, are
five years old and would sell read
lily for twenty-five cents each. 1t
takes seven years for ginseng to
reach its full maturity, but the
activities of an organized gang of
thieves made it imperative to gath
er the Chinaman's cure-all before
the light-fingered gentry descend
ed upon the patch.
Ginseng is crop easily culti-
waited. It requires one-third sun
and two-thirds shade, and but lit
tie care. It grows wild in the
mountains of Western North Caro-
lima and Captain Toms started his
operations with native roots. The
Captain believes that $4,000
worth of ginseng could be shipped
from Henderson county each year,
provided the ginseng thieves were
rounded up and put in the pen
for to steal the herb is a serious
offense.
Captain Toms also believes the
Greater Hendersonville Club is
everlastingly right in its efforts to
help develop the latent natural re-
sources of this county. He, and
Charles Frenca Toms, are the
owners of the famous EsseWah
! Orchards, which grew $4,000
worth of perfect apples last year.
He is enthusiastic about apple
| growing and is also enthusiastic
about ginseng-except when he
happens to think about the ginseng
thieves. Then he's-well, he's still
enthusiastic, you know, but he ex-
presses his enthusiasm a little bit
differently. But he has demon
strated the possibilities of ginseng
as money crop here, as he has
with apples, and realle sees great
possibilities therein for the farmers
of Henderson county.
Ginseng has a very beautiful
dark green foliage. The name is
said by Grosier to signify the re-
semblance of a man." and the root
does sometimes look something
like man-an ugly old man at
that. 1t is valued by the Chinese
as a tonic and a stimulant and to
it they ascribe almost miraculous
powers.
