THE TRANspLANrne OF TREEs.

The transplanting Of q tree, wheth-
er it be small or large, usually checks
its growth, and while this check is
nor always detrimental, yet it usually
reduces the total growth for the sue
ceeding two or three years. This
general check is caused by the loss of
roots which takes place in digging the
trees. 1t matters little how carefully
a tree may be dug, it will suffer a Sc
we're loss of roots and in many cases
from one-half to three-fourths of its
entire roof system, and practically all
Of its feeding roots will be lost. tits
impossible to exercise too much care
in the digging and transplanting of
trees, and especially in dry severe
climates.
The time or season of the year for
transplanting deciduous trees is gov,
erned by the developments of the
tree, the condition Of the soil, and the
weather that is apt to follow trans
planning. Many trees may be success
fully transplanted at any time during
their dormant or leafess period, while
others require that transplanting be
done at certain seasons of the year. If
the trees are fully matured, the soil
moist, not wet, and the winters not
too severe, one may feel safe in fall
planting. If the soil is wet and poor
ly prepared and the trees are not well
ripened OF, it is safer to plant in early
spring. Desiduous trees should be
planted from one to two inches deep
er than they grew in the nursery.
pulverized moist earth
should be worked in among the roots,
until the hole is about half full, and
then this earth should be tamped until
it is solid. The tramping of earth
around the roots of the tree is one os
the most important features of trans
planting.
Water may be applied to the hole
either the day before the trees r
or after the hole is half full
OF earth, but If the sol is moist 1t is
usually best not to use any water.
The upper half of the soil that is fill
ed into the hole may be left loose or
tamped, and the surface left
and finely pulverized. This will
serve as a mulch as well as take up
any water that may fall on the sur
face.
Evergreen trees r o difficult
transplant successfully than decid-
Ious trees, but if the proper time be
selected, the trees properly handled
while they are out of the ground, the
manner of planting be not too faulty.

WILL LOCATE SCHOOL SITE.
Prof. Shitle and Mr.. Sales VIII Locate
SchOI ste at EtOWah.

Prof. w. S. Shitle, superintendent
of county schools and J. 9. Sales,
chairman of the county board of edu-
cation, will on Saturday, February IA,
go to Etowah to locate a sit for the
5000 school building to be erected
there before the opening Of next term.
There was no public school at Eto-
wah during the past year as it was
deemed advisable to save the funds
for building purposes. The children
had advantages in subscription
schools. School was held in the Meth
odist school house during the last two
years as the public school building
was too dilapidated for school pur-
poses.
j. B. Belk, who has been teaching
&C Horse Shoe, is now with the Mills
River graded school, succeeding Miss
Augusta Warlick, resigned, as inter
mediate teacher.
Miss Sarah Johnston of Henderson,
vile, Route 5, has succeeded Prof. j. P.
Dewey, resigned, as teacher of the
Fletcher graded school.
A. P. Bell, of Saluda, president of
the Henderson County Teachers assoc
citation, who with the assistance of
Miss Elizabeth Thompson of Saluda,
has been teaching at Mt. Page, has
closed this school and entered Fruit
land institute in order to further pur-
u his studies.
Prof. shitle announces that he will
invite Professor Brogden of the State
department of education to come to
Henderson county and deliver an adj
dress in the Edneyville section as an
effort viii be made to consolidate
parts of Liberty, Clear Creek and

TRUE GREATNESS.

When General Washington had
closed his campaign in the French and
Indian War says a writer. "and be.
come a member of the House of Bur
gesses, the Speaker wis directed by
the house to return a vote of thanks
to him for. his services in saving the
colony from danger. AS soon as
Washington took his seal the speaker
ros and delivered an address of
thanks, praising i'm for his ability
and bravery, SO that the young hero
was quite confounded. He rose to re-
turn his thanks, but such was his ON
fusion that he c%ould-not give distinct
~utterance to q single syllable. He
blushed, stammered, and trembled for
a second when the speaker relieved,
him, saying :'Sit down MI. Washington
your modesty is equal to your valor.
and that surpasses the power Of any
language that / possess" Great men
are noted for their humility and their
desire to be of real service to the
world. Gladstone would visit a poor
street sweeper when sick, and Phillips
Brooks once visited a poor woman who
lived in a howell, and held the baby
for her while she went out to buy
bread with the money which he gave
her:

planting be reasonable, one may usu-
ally expect success. With the proper
care, an evergreen tree may be trans
planted any month during the year.
Probably the most favorable time for
transplanting eyergreens is in the
spring. Trees transplanted Just after
they have started INTO growth, start
at once to grow and in many cases do
not receive any perceptible shock. Fall
planting has been successfully used in
many localities, and where all condi-
tionss are favorable, it is a safe ven
ture.
Large deep holes with plenty Of.
moist earth in the bottom should be
provided for any tree. During trans
planting, the roots must never become
dried either by the wind or from the,
sum-. Another very important phase
in tree-traisplanting IS to make the
soil very, very firm around its roots.
IF the soil Is well prepared and in
proper condition, 1T 10 impossible to
make 1t too firm. More newly trans
planted evergreens die on account of
the planter falling to make the soil
firm about the roots than from any
other single cause. This is the only
safe way to exclude the air from the
roots, and unless this is done, failure
is sure to follow.

DR.. JOHN A. GRAY

Windy Bill says: when God made
the sky he flung the colors He had
left over into the air and they became
rainbows; when he had finished max
ing the stars, he threw the remnants
into the world, and they hid them
selves in the mountains for men to
afterwards find and call gold; when
He had made the seas and planted the
rivers like a farmer plants his cab
bage, He threw what He had left over
into one place and men called it the
ocean; when He had finished building
tn world, He tossed the debris into
one rubbish heap and men called it
the desert; when He had finished MAX
ing men, He found some of them half
baked and others half developed, SO
He made the Bowery and put them
there. For God, like man, must have
some scrap heap; some burying
ground for his discarded materials and
dead remnants"
Such is the description which
Windy Bill" one Of DR.. Gray's hobo
friends, gives of the bowery. The
other friends are equally interesting.
1t was in a three months visit with
them during which DR.. Gray gave up
his vacation and left his fine home and
splendid church in the heart of New
York City, that the thrilling expert
ences were had which produced the
materials for the great lecture, "Out
of Work" 1t is thrilling, humorous,
pathetic and holds you %spellbound
from first to last. DR.. John Gray will
appear at the Chautauqua on the sec
ond days program.

The SENIOR PLAY

An exceptionally clever presenta-
ton of "Mr. Bob" was given by
the Senior class of the high school
last Wednesday night. "Mr. Bob"
is a play Astounding in l~aughable
situations due to the continued
mistakes concerning the identity
Of Mr.. Brown, who obediently as
sumes the role of lover, architect
or college friend in order to pac-
fly the inmates of what he con-
siders a house of lunatics. This
difficult character was success
fully portrayed by Lynn White.
Adelaide Badger, as Aunt Becky,
lover of cats was especially pleas
ing in her portrayal of that role.
John Chapman, as Phillip Royson,
did exceptionally well as an en-
thusiastic yachtsman who gives up
his part in the race in order to
keep his Aunt Becky from turning
her home into an asylum for cats.
The mischief loving girl instigator
Of the plot to conceal the identity
of "Mr. Bob" was charmingly por-
trayed by Marguerite Smith. Miss
Florence Hurke gave in a pleasing
manner, the part of "Mr. Bob"
who saves the race for Phillip.
A decided element of humor in
the play, was the loVe-making of
Kenneth White in his portrayal Of
the dignified butler, continually
Directing but always following
meekly the leadings of the saucy,
stage-struck Patty, whether it
were getting ria OF CATS. dramatic
ally rendering Shakespeare's Ro-
meo or learning the giddy mazes
of the terpsichorean art. The rem
dering of the ballet by these two
brought down the house.
Not the least Of the actors were
the cats, which played their part
in truly professional manner,
thereby adding greatly to the
amaZement of the audience.
Miss Roehm deserves great cred
it for her skillful training of all
the actors.
