THRIFTY.

Jess Willard is q cautious lad,
according to the late reports; he
looks with reverence on the scad,
unlike the old.time spendthrift
sports. He takes the nickles to
the bank as fast as he can draw
them in, and dream all night O.
bout the clank Of shining little
heaps OF tin. To Jess an ordi-
nary plunk looks bigger than q
ballroom floor; all other themes
than cash are bunk-he won't
discuss them any more. Some
day a better pug will rise, and
punch the rafters from his dome,
and spoil his nose, and close his
eyes, and send him in a basket
home. And when he's in the has
been class, he will not haunt the
free lunch track; ah, no, he'll
have his store OF brass, the wolf
will not come near bis shack,
The dead game sports look on
with sneers, when Jess declines
to blow his roll, for stacks oi
chips and long cold beers, and
things that put one in the hole.
The prize ring heroes Of the past
around the barrooms drank and
spelled, and when they died in
want at last, were planted in the
P0tter's Field. But Jess with
wisdom is endowed, he saves his
coin, and when he dies he'll have
q nice Tuxsdo shroud, and brand
new coppers on his eyes. Walt

that she is engaged in a hopeless

renders the better for her and for
all mankind. On the other hand
Great Britain has bungled from
the beginning. The war spirit is
said to be weaker in England
than in any other warning ma
ton. Lloyd George has been i'm.
ploring the young men Of Brit
ain to rally to the defense Of the
country with passionate elo-
quence, but so far his pleading
seems to be in vain. The English
army is poorly Differed. There is
strife and confusion in the cabi.
net, and where there should be
harmony and unity among the
leaders there is discord and dis
sension. u(ierlnany had had Eng
lands opportunity she would
long ago have swept her enemies
off the earth. France has d o n e
her part nobly in the struggle,
and poor old Russia has made
the greatest sacrifice Of all. But
in the final outcome Russia will
be in position to demand her full
share OF the booty, and it is for
this that she is giving 80 much oi
her life blood. What or when the
end shall be no man can tell.
Peace may break upon the world

ALsnsly King.

AS kings 20, Petsr Of Serbia, is
the loneliest figure in the world
today. He is a king with only the
memory OF a country.
His final farewell to the rem
nant OF his soldiers was as noble
as it was pathetic. lie released
them from allegiencc to h e r
king, but commended their coun-
try to their present and future
hope.
His children had long left him,
and he was, in that sense, alone
when the invader came and wres.
ted his country from him.
His few remaining years will be
dark with bitter memories. 1t is
the fate and i'll fortune Of a war
he did not seek; and there is the
grief Of his homeless people to
make his exile darker.
One thing ofsustaining strength
in his favor is that, as king, he
felt for and with his people and,
perhaps, returns some measure
OF their affection.
But the shadow which has fall
en- on him is feared by other
kings, now more fortunate, in
that they still keep their crowns.
It is the shadow OF o great fear
for the outcome OF o war that is

better, will no longer stand in

n. Mission That Failed.
Asheyille Citizen.

AenevlIle Cltlzen.
Christmas has come and gone;
the "boys" are still in the tren.
ches and Henry Ford is back in
the United States minus his halo
and considerable cash. The mon-
ey loss OF course, will not bother
q man who admits that he has
more than he knows what to do
with, but one reflects on the bet
teruses to which the vast sums
spent by Ford could have b 9 n
put, he can but regret that COM
mon sense was swept away by
impulse.
Doomed to failure at the start
by very reason of it's nature, the
Ford peace mission will long re-
main the target for the shafts OF
jokemongsrs. Ford himself has
alrsady lost much Of that esteem
and respect wherein he was held
when he applied rare generosity
to the solution Of the laborprob-
lem. But when he left his chosen
tleld to wander at random in the
realm OF fancy he fell considera-
bly, in public favor. Perhaps Mr..
Ford meant we'll; it is not for us
to divine his motives, but he at
tempted much without giving
the subject that thought q n d
study which a project so vast in
scope required. "The failure oi
Henry Ford's project says The
Editorial, 'for peace among the
warning European nations will
be ascribed by many to the fact
he had no definite plan; that he
rushed in where it might be
thought angels feared to tread,
without any clear idea Of what
he was going to do or how he
was going to do 1T. The time fol
fears and misgivings is before
starting in. After you have made
the plunge there should beno ex'
cuse for turning hack, unless in.
surmountable obstacles are en-
countered which could not be
foreseen at the start.
incidentally one wonders why
the standards OF efficiency which
Mr.. Ford is said to have applied
to his automobile industry did
not prompt him to prepare in
some measure for his peace mis-
sion. Even when the peace ship
touched the other side, Ford and
his guests seem to have landed
without on idea OF the next meth,

OF the lower or frost stratum:
and hence in cold, frosty nights
is propuced the phenomonen Of
the "Vernal Zone"
1t is a fact that can be we'll at
tested, that all attempts to cul-
tivate the grape in ourlow damp
valleys have utterly failed, the
fruit being attacked before fully
grown bywhat is called mildew-
blight, while the few vines grow
ing upon the small farms lying
high upon the mountain sides
have ever matured their fruit in
the greatest perfection; and the
true reason Of this is, that all
good varieties OF grapes have
thin skins, are OF tender organi-
zation, and easily affected by q
damp atmosphere and chill dew.
And on the mountain, being with
in a comparatively dry thermal
zone, they grow in an atmos-
phere peculiarly adapted to the
delicacy Of their tender organiza-
ton. In view of these facts; l
say confidently that any well
conducted effort at grape culture
will succeed, whether it be upon
the sunny slopes Of our southern
Alleghanies or upon the noun
tain sides that skirt the beautiful
valleys Of the northern states,
and all that is required to insure
success is to ascertain whore this
Thermal Belt" is and to plant
the vines within it's limits.

mark that this belt varies in the

eovSIuW ! ExgsIjAUul
For the first time in the histo-
ry Of this state, or OF any other
state, so far as The Citizen can
learn, convicts serving sentence
on the roads for various terms
were enabled to return, to their
homes for Christmas when Gov
ernor Craig urged the commls-
sianers Of various counties. to
take such action. Some persons
there were who were inclined to
doubt the wisdom OF the govern
or's action, bat generally it was
felt that the experiment was well
worth trying, and that no harm
could come OF it. What happen
ed? From all reports to date not
a single convict betrayed t h e
trust reposed in him; not o n Q
man so paroled has yet been re-
ported as missing. We quote
from q recent dispatch from Raj.
eigh:
Complete reports from t b e
state camps, ten in number, gave
Governor Craig at the close OF
the old year the cheering news
that not one OF the many prison
ers paroled broke the trust with
him. The men returned punctual-
", too. Perhaps no act OF a
North Carolina governor in a
double decade has caused 30
much comment from afar."
Governor Craig may well feel
intensely gratiaed at the success
Of a plan which was prompted by
the highest motives of humani-
ty, and North Carolina generally
will rejoice with him that a step
go advanced along the line Of re-
form movements should have
met with no mishap. The Citizen
approved the suggestion when it
was made because it felt that no
danger, but much good would
come Of it. This paper Was in
clined to the opinion that th 9
governor had studied the ques.
tion from every angle, and had
not acted on impulse, however
creditable, when he advised the
county boards to parole hun
dreds Of convicts for the Christ
mas season. +
The Citizen congratulates the
governor on the success OF his
movement, and also the county
commissioners who had the good
sense and sound Judgement to
act in.accord Herewith.
This generation may yet see
the dawn Of q day when the prob.
lem Of prison reform can be solved
by the application Of methods
more humane than those we now
employ. In that day men who
have the misfortune to run foul
OF the law may come to know
that their future is not devoid ol
hope, and that punishment fol
crime calls for no display Of bru.
taiity. Then, too, he may Gee

phenomenon Of the "Verdant

it's itself, upon our, mountain
sides, commencing about three
HUNDRED feet vertical heightabove
the valleys, and traversing them
in q perfectly horizontal line
throughout their entire length
like a vast green ribbon upon
5a1black ground. Its breadth is
iourhunded feet vertical height,
and from that wider, according
to the degree Of the angle OF the
mountain with the plane OF the
yhorison.s Vegetation OF all kinds
within the limits Of this zone is
untouched by frost; and such is
' its protective influence that the
!, 1sabella the most tender of all

to produce abundant crops in
twenty.six consecutive years; nor
has fruit OF any kind ever been
known within these limits to be

The Thermal belt must exist in
all countries that are traversed

produce it are as infalllible as
those which produce the rainbow

son why its visible manifesto
tions are peculiar to our South
ern Alleghanies is the fact t h a t
their precocious spring vegeta-
: tion Is sometimes killed by frost,
while the same thing does not
happen in the mountains further
north.
The philosophy Of the subject,
which I claim to have discover
ed and published the 2Sth Of Ap-
ril, 1868, is the following:
Frost is but crystalized dew,
6and can only form during clear,
Nstill nights, when the atmosphere
is in perfect repose. The atmos.
phere, when at rest. falls into a
series Of strata, one lying above
the other, the heaviest stratum
becoming the base Of those a.
bovs il, and all take positions
according to their weight and
density upon the principle o
gravitation.
Heat is the agent that produ-
ces this result. This heat is ol
two kinds, both from the same
source; the primary one being the
suns rays direct, and the Other
the heat reserved or retained BY
the earth. This heat is ever ra
dating, and in cold, clear, still
