. We need a progressive mayor and
board of aldermen for the town for
i ' the next two years.
Our people ought to be thinking
about the material which is to compose
the next city council.
The district lodge Knights of
Pythias is to meet in Bamberg on
Wednesday, the 27th instant.
Dr. V. W. Brabham has moved into
his offices n the new building of
the Bamberg Banking Company.
Barnwell county's tax levy for the j
coming year is 3? mills, which is one
half mill higher than bamberg s.
I It gives us no pleasure to say so,
but we are afraid Bamberg is gen-1
erally regarded as a town of pretty
g|P bad morals.
The Stats levy this year will be
P? lower than last. The legislature has ]
r fixed the levy at 4i mills; last year it j
was 5 mills.
Messrs. W. L. and W. H. Mitchum,
merchants of Ehrhardt, are to be declared
bankrupts, proceedings having
been begun.
INice winter weather we had last
week. It was a blessing to this section,
for it enabled many people to
- save their meat.
Be sure to read G. Frank Bamberg's
half page ad. this week. He
1 > is determined to reduce his stock of
Ip vehicles and live stock.
The Bell Company's linemen are
| hard at work rebuilding the telephone
lines at this place. Cable is
m': - being strung on the principal streets.
Pp' . The new building of the Bamberg
Banking Company is having the fin|;
ishing touches put on. The bank
will no doubt move into it this or
El next week.
'0U Mr. J. J Smoak announces that he
is back in business at the same old
stand and can serve you with first

DEVELOPMEN f OF FRUIT
Successful Experiments of the
Agricultural Department.
TWO NEW VARIETIES OF LIMES
Small and Large Specimens Which
Arc Regarded as Commercial Saccesses?How
the Morton Citrangre
Was Developed?May Be Less Expensive
to Grow Than Orange*.
Improved Pineapples.
I
New treats are in store for persons
who enjoy a variety of fruits in the
summer and early fall or who find
comfort on hot summer days in sipping
cooling drinks. Never content
with results that may be so far in advance
of past achievements as to seem
like new milestones in the progress
of their investigations, the plant and
fruit experts of the department of agriculture
are continuing unceasingly
their search for novelties, says the
New York Posts Washington corre- j
spondent. They note even the least in-1
dication of new traits which impress
them as possessing possibilities of development
and see whether results
cannot be gained in the permanent betterment
of the fruit species to which
that particular product belongs.
One of the most popular and deli
1 1- ? of
ClOUS Illirsi quencmug uawiivuo ?i
this season of the year is limeade. Up
to within seven or eight years ago, although
the lime as a fruit was grown
in all tropical and subtropical countries
for home consumption, it was
only at a very few places that it was
cultivated extensively for the manufacture
of an article known as "lime
juice." Xo commercial culture existed,
however, in any part of the United
States, and this was an evident Indication
that there was no demand
which made fruit growers suppose It
would be worth their while to grow
limes. When the use of limes at soda
fountains was introduced the demand
increased so rapidly that the fruit attained
standing as a commercial product
and developed trade possibilities
which were promptly recognized by
plantation owners in southern Florida.
As the general demand for the lime
is of such recent origin, very few varieties
have been specifically named
or become permanently introduced in
TI10 principal ill Ulfc.tr Li>. ouiut>?a;iiuuos
of tlie United States have shown a decided
preference for the small specimens,
while in other cases large limes
are more in demand. Some are very
seedy, others nearly seedless. Some
ripen early! while others do not reach
their prime until late in the season.
The unknown qualities of the lime are
so great when compared with similar
varieties of fruit which have been under
observation and cultivation for
decades past that there has been unusual
difficulty in differentiating closely
between the few varieties now practically
established and the others which
are still largely in an experimental
stage.
After much experimentation the de*
partment experts have given names to
two specimens which have progressed
under their care to a point where they
are looked upon as commercial successes.
The smaller of the two" is a
hvhrifi nf the West Indian lime with
polleu of the Sicily lemon and has
been named the "Palmetto." The original
seedling was grown, fruited and
tested in the subtropical garden of the
department at Miami, Fla. The original
experimental tree produced only
three seedlings. One of these was
small and ultimately died, but both of
the others, which are almost exact duplicates
of each other, have borne fruit
which has had one of the chief marks
of success?uniformity of size. Each
lime weighs a trifle over one ounce,
is nearly round, with a smooth surface
and a rind less than one-sixteenth
of an inch in thickness. The
pulp, of a light greenish color, is tender
and very Juicy, with a flavor which,
the experts describe as "a sprightly
acid of excellent bouquet." It is almost
seedless, having usually only
from three to six seeds. A feature recommending
it to fruit growers is that
it matures early and that because of
the spreading, bushy nature of the
vigorous hybridized tree it bears the
greater part of the fruit near the ends
of the branches, where it may be picked
with the minimum of trouble and
injury.
This small, regular and very juicy I
type exactly fits the requirements of
the trade in some sections of the country
and is destined to command a
good price and wide market for the
growers. For other sections, however,
where for some reason or other the
larger specimen of limes is preferred,
the experts have provided a cross between
the West Indian lime and the
grape fruit' This has been named the
"Everglade** lime, producing the lar-1
gest fruit6 of any lime tested In the
course of the official experiments in
hybridisation. The fruit is elliptical,
measuring from an inch and a half to
two inches in diameter and from one
and three-quarters to more than two
inches in height. Its color is light yellow.
without the greenish tinge which
distinguishes the smaller palmetto variety.
Its characteristics are very similar
to those of the smaller fruit, of
course, but it has the advantage of
producing at least a half an ounce
more fruit content on the average than
its more diminutive hybrid relative.
While developing these two new
specimens in the line of acid fruits,
thp experts did not overlook the increasing
demand for fruit of sufficiently
appetizing characteristics to
find favor as breakfast food. The
great popularity attained by the grap*
-it and the scientific success attain
in the development of the Ruskano
li hybrid citranges led to further
: with other hybrids. This has re.
ea in the production of the .Morton
. .'irange, so named in recognition of
ihe valuable services to agriculture of
the late Hon. J. Sterling Morton of
Nebraska, secretary of agriculture under
Cleveland. .
The experiments iu this instance
were made at Eustis, Fla., the original
fruit from which this hybrid developed
having been a cross of the trifoliago
orange with pollen of the sweet orange.
This cross fruit produced forty seedlings.
of which eleven developed unmistakable
signs of the true hybrid In
exhibiting clearly intermediate character
of foliage. As a dessert fruit or
- - . _ !_ t i.
for eating at any nnie it uas uc-uii
found to be much superior to the two
citranges developed prior to last winter,
while it is as desirable for making
a beverage similar to lemonade or
limeade. Its rather firm membranes,
separating tlie segments of the fruit,
permit easy extraction of the pulp
with a spoon, thereby putting it at
once into the class with grape fruit It
has a very slight bitter taste and when
served with sugar can be macje to
meet every demand of individual taste.
For ordinary eating it is a little more
sour than the ordinary sweet orange,
but not any more so than some of the
so called sweet oranges which find
their way to the markets of the big
cities. It is practically a seedless^ruit.
A feature of interest to consumers of
this new fruit is the probability that it
will be less expensive than oranges,
for instance, because greater hardiness
nf th<* hvbrid makes nosslble its cnlti
vation in sections where trees of similar
species are killed by frost. Whilo
the cold resistant quality of the Mor
ton has not been tested to its limit, the
record of experiments shows that it
went through all the winters at Glen
St. Mary, Fla., since 1S99 without losing
its leaves. Several severe freezes
; which were disastrous to other species
[ and seriously affected the orange industry
even much farther south occurred
during this time. Buds eight
months old experienced without noticeable
effect a temperature going
down to 15 degrees. Experiments In
Georgia returned similarly successful
results in temperature falling to 8 degrees,
showing that it can be grown
not only wherever the orange is successful,
but in additional localities
where the orange could not survive the
low temperature^ This is an important
feature as respects the availability of
the fruit as a market commodity, a
fact which is of general interest at
such times as a great freeze in the
south, when an orange crop may be
killed off In a single night.
Pineapples, which enter so largely into
table use, either as a fresh fruit, a
preserve or in the preparation of a
beverage, have also been the subject
of experiments by the fruit specialists
of the department. When the experts
began this work some years back there
Trrna nrt t/u<hnir>nl Htowtliro All flip Hllh
ject available for,their guidance. Experiments
at West Palm Beach did not
result as well as anticipated when first
started, so finally the hybrid seed obtained
in the course of crossing experiments
was planted in a government
greenhouse in Washington. When the
young hybrid plants had reached a
height of from six to eight inches they
were shipp'ed south and transplanted
at the subtropical garden at Miami,
Fla. Heretofore it has been asserted
by growers that eight years was the
time required for a pineapple to bear
fruit, but these experiments have demonstrated
that it can be done in four
years if the plants are properly handled
and nurtured.
To test the progress made from year
to year pineapples grown from these
experimental plants have been brought
to Washington and compared with the
best fruits obtainable in the Washington
markets. In every case the experts
found the flavor of the hybrids
^ rtt-kA fKia -fh/vtr lio T*A
IU IAJ UpCl 1U19 aiiu i&v/ui Hiio uuvj uui v
deduced the Idea that the commercial
line has been grown so many years
without seed propagation that the old
varieties have deteriorated. To maintain
the highest quality a return to
seed propagation is recommended by
some of the experts, so that recent experiments
may turn out not only to
have produced new hybrids, but to
have started a rejuvenation of the old
species which had received a minimum
of scientific care In the rush of commercial
development.i
Conquering the Colorado.
The first of the great American rivers
to be completely held in bondage
by a dam will be the Colorado, says
the St. Louis Tost-Dlspatch. The Laguna
dam, twelve miles above Yuma,
Ariz., will be completed by the government
hi two years. It will be 4,800
feet long and will be secured at the
ends in the mountains which compress
the Colorado at that point into this
narrow width. The dam will consist
Of three massive concrete parallel
walls, the snaces filled with stones
and the whole width of the dam on
top 244 feet. This great barrier will
weigh 600,000 tons, and, although it
will not rest upon rock, its weight will
be such that not even the Colorado
will be able to dislodge it In low water
the dam will back the river up and
afford irrigation for 100,000 acres of
rich bottom laud, and in flood time the
Colorado will thunder over the top.
Artificial Ruin.
One of the Taris hotels in the Place
Vendome has arranged to supply its
guests with a shower of rain to order,
says a special Paris cablegram to the
Washington Star. By iui arrangement
of pipes placed high in the air over the
courtyard a shower Is obtained whenever
required. The guests may sit under
an immense umbrella twenty-five
feet In diameter, enjoying the cool rainfall
on a hot summer day.
