Says South Ca’o.ina People Do Not Consider Dispensary Law Good. • Bristol Dai!.- Courier.) Rev. Amos Clary, pastor of West Bristol Baptist church returned yes terday from Gaffney, S. C., where he spent his vacation with his mother and other relatives. He reports hav ing spent a most enjoyable vacation and happened to he in South Carolina in time to hear a great deal of com- ment on the hot State campaign and ho observed that the dispensary ques tion is paramount in the campaign that is in ’progress. "Do the people of South Carolina consider the State dispensary a pro hibition measure?” was asked by a rcoorter. and in reply Mr. Clary said: "No, not since they got. their eyes open. At first they thought they were getting such a measure. In the people of the State voted an over whelming majority for prohibition. But Instead of that they got the State dis pensary. For a time many good peo pie in the State thought it was prohi bition. It is nothing but a State saloon.” "What are the dispensary’s com mendable features?” "It has none for the prohibitionist, it is Hie next best thing to the open saloon for the whiskey men. Some do claim that it lessens drunkenness. But dispensary whiskey makes a man drunk just as quickly as any other form of whiskey shop.” Salt to Law Dust. (London Globe.) Salt is the latest device for laying dust on roads in the country. The author for this new departure is M. Thintzins. city surveyor of Rouen, who has published it as the result of a long series of experiments. The list of these, while bringing out the weak side of the new system, pos sesses considerable interest a show ing it to possess real posihilities of utility. A long stretch of road was first watered and then sprinkled with salt. The next day the surface of the road was covered wit ha thin glazed crust. Rain removed this in "arts, but where the gla/.e remained there was v ' dust for five days. I hereby announce myself a candl date for Coroner, subject to th« rules of the Democratic primary. J. O.

Just I I write I I D. B. GLADDEN. Grover, N. C. I Letter to Carrol) & Byers. Gaffney, S. C. Dear Sirs: If you could get the ex clusive sale of a sweeter sugar for five miles around—as sweet as a pound of usual sugar, and cost no more you’d jump at it, wouldn't you? There wouldn’t be 100 1T> of any other sugar sold in a year in your town: you'd gobble the trade; and it wouldn’t hurt your whole business. Devoe is like that among paints; It is twice as sweet as some; it is sweeter than any; not one exception; one gallon is two or one-and a-half or one and three-quarters. Better than that; paint has to be painted; that costs $2 to $4 a gallon. A gallon saved is $2 to $1 saved in labor, besides the paint. Fven that isn’t all. A gallon Devoe put-on wears as long as two gallons put on at a cost of $2 to $ 1 a gallon and two gallons more put-on at $2 to $4 a gallon. Count all that. The paint that wears double costs less by 2 gallons of paint and 2 gallons of painting; that’s about $15 a gallon for those superfluous gallons. That’s as good as a> doublesweet sugar, isn’t it? Yours truly 1 F W DEVOE & CO New York P. S.—R. M. Wilkins Hardware Co. sell our paint. SETTING OUT TREES. Mr. Grabs Thinks it Should be Done in Early Fall. (W. F. Grabs in Southern Fruit Grower.) In The Progressive Farmer of Iasi November I read what Prof. Massey had to say about planting trees—that the fall of the year is the best time. I have noticed, too, that he advises to plant without the use of water. Mr. J. Van Lindley and others ad vise the use of a good deal of water in planting. I have learned by years of experience that the advice of both parties is good—and that this various j advice is not conflicting. The average farmer plants hut few j trees at a time, as should be the case, J iind if there is water convenient he | can safely use it—can use much or | little. 1 had rather use some water when planting; had rather wet the j roots—if not more. However, if there is an adundance of water pour- | ed in it will do well, and will last j a long time. But water is especially needed while planting in dry weath- ; er—but need do no harm if used i when the ground Is in good condition* Of course we ought not to work I the land at. all when wet, hut, if wet. | water would then be needed to neu tralize, as it seems. .Mv original intention for this ar ticle was to advocate the planting I of trees in October, but it seems that trees would do well by lining planted in the latter part of September. Of J course this is only saf * by pinching [•iff all the leives. By this very early Planting tin* fall planted trees will then he ready to take the early start j in the spring and will do well even for the first summer. Now it is a | tact that trees would do much better : for a safe start by being planted in | the fall—sooner or later- as the case may he. Many trees are lost by Late spring : planting, and if the late planted trees | live they can't grow very well, owing I to the dry weather that we usually have during summer. Of course the late spring planted trees usually live and do fairly well, by being widely planted and well cul tivated. Often trees of some years are removed, and a desire to plant large trees prevails, and if we plant a large tree late in the spring season we can only he safe usually bv cut ting it hack severely. It goes hard I t- cut a tree back and spoil it; but this severe cutting l>ack need not be done if the tree Is planted in the i fall—provided It is made secure so it can’t the shaken out of place by the wind. Of course this suggestion to plant t rees in the fall is main!; for our lat itude. or for the Southern States. Here in our latitude. October may be counted the best month in the year to plant trees. The various farm work is so press- iii" in the fall season is the reason so few of us have learned to plant o’’** trees in the fall. In order to plant a tree well the mellow earth must be packed closely and solidly about the roots, and this care should be observed at all times. The best advice from the high au thorities is to plant young trees—say, only a year old-—but this advice need not come In the way of planting trees several years old when it seems to be necessary to do so. If the fresh planted trees are several years old, it is advisable to give them a little extra watering in dry weather during summer. TO TAKE OVER THREE C’S.

Charlotte, Sept. 7.—In faiPwafr circles there continues to he much speculation as to the plans of the Seaboard Air Line and the Softth & Western and rumors circulate per sistently, but no official statement has been given out by either road. The latest rumor is to the effect that the Seaboard will take over the Three C.’s and use it in connection with the line from Lugoff, S. C.. near Camden, which has been planned to be constructed to Charleston. This way or another, it is persistenly stat ed that the Seaboard or the South & Western will go to Charleston. In commenting on the rumor. The Charleston Evening Post says: "The building of the new and di rect road from Lugoff to Charleston would open up a valuable territory tu the Seaboard Air Line, as well as giving Charleston a new and much desired connection with the interior of i lie Slate. The former project pro vides for the Seaboard Air Line us ing the rails of the Atlantic Coast Line from Camden to Charleston, and if the system decided to make Charleston ope of its terminals, as seems probable and as rumors con tinue to report, this will be the route of the line until the new road is built and put in operation.” In regard to Ihe taking over of Three C.’s, The Yorkville Era says: "Several weeks ago The New Era published a rumor to the effect that the Seaboard Air Line was probably negotating with other railroad sys tems for the purpose of acquiring the old Three C.’s road. There seems to he something in the rumor.” Referring to this possible railroad deal. The Columbia Record says: “There is considerable speculation here as to the route to be taken by certain extensions of the South & Western Railway end of the connec tion, if there he any between that system and the Carolina Mineral Railroad, which was chartered in North Carolina August Sth to build -a line from Charlotte to Lancaster, S. C., a distance of 40 miles through Mecklenburg county in North Caro lina and Union, York and Lancaster counties in this State. "The sole ostensible purpose of the Mineral road is to give an outlet to the Collossus gold mines near Wax- haw. As Waxhaw is somewhat off thy line of the proposed road, unless a curve not now on the profiles is surveyed to touch that point, the road is going to he built In a direct ion not at all toward the mines. The question is where is it going? Some people are of the opinion that this new line is merely to be a branch of the South & Western from Charlotte toward Charleston. “Reports from the proposed route of the South & Western say that it will pass through York county. Sur veyors are said to have been looking over a possible route near Hickory Grove, which report lends color to the rumor that the line also will* go through York county. “There are also strong opinions prevalent that the South & Western has an eye on the old Titree C.’s road, and may tal<e it in and use it from Marlon, N. C„ to Camden, S. C.. If sveh a deal can be made with the owners.” Ask any “JAP” that you may see, “Why the Czar, with bear behind,” had to climb a tree. The Yanks. God bless the Yanks, says he.
