WOBL?'S F?1B HOBTiGULT?RE. Extensive Pomol?gica! and Nur? sery Exhibits to Made. By Frederic W. Taylor, Chief of the Department. The Fruit Growers, *and Horticul? tural Societies both State and local are taking great interest in^tbe plans that are being made for the fruit exhibit in ?he Horticulture building. The fact that there is to be practically twice as much space devoted to this exhibit at St^Louis as there^has been at any former Exposition is encouraging news to them. Many inquiries from individual fruit .growers and local Horticultural Socie? ties concerning space for a fruit ex jiibit have been received by the d?part? ement of Horticulture and it seems that a general statement of the method of securing space is of interest. The space wili be secured by an offi? cer representing 'the** State Comm j s sion of each state and all exhibits of Ji?s character will be under the man? agement of the State Commissions un? less there should be a State that does not have a commission in which case, some other arrangements will be made. Fruit growers in making an exhibit of fruits are assured that they will not lose their idenity by an arrange? ment of this kind, for it will be re? quired that all exhibits be plainly marked, showing the name of the grower and the locality where the fruit was produced. This "will be of great Tame from an educational standpoint as it will give all who are interested in studying fruits definite information as to the locality where the fruit was produced. 3?ot only are visitors who are study? ing fruits|heiped by an arrangement of this kind, but practically all visitors are more I interested in the exhibit ..when theyjknow definitely the local? ities where all the fruits were grown. It is important'that fruit growers everywhere begin at once to prepare to grow fruit for exhibit purposes. Sufficient plant food should be supplied to enable the trees to bear perfect specimens and this should be followed throughout the season with the most thorough cultivation. Thorough cultivation will hold the moisture in the soil which will be available for the use of the treees and niants in development of perfect speci? mens of fruits. The thinning of fruit should not be neglected. This is an important con? sideration where it is desire to grow .perfect specimens. In doing this work it is advisable to leave only such \ specimens as promise to be large and perfect and also those that are not shaded by foliage States that are planning to exhibit must have a sufficient quantity of fruit * in cold storage so that the space allot? ted to them will be entirely covered at the time of the opening of the Exposi? tion, and in order that they may have a sufficient quantity in reserve in stor? age to keep the space covered until the 1904 crop of fruit is available A circular on cold storage of fruits will be sent out from the Department of Horticulture in good season giving the latest'information obtainable con . corning that subject. It is intended that a collective ex? hibit of Nursery stock from all sections of the world will be made in the De? partment of Horticulture of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. This arill afford a splendid opportunity for ?nrserymen. Botanists and Fruit Growers to study the individual varieties and types represented. From an educational standpoint, the value of such an exhibit will be appreciated "by all interested in Horticulture. It is also expected to have a collec? tion on the sewer varieties of grapes in bearing, especially those that have been produced by crossing. These will be planted the present spring so that they will be in bearing in 1904. A collection of vari ti es of strawber? ries will be planted the present spring. These will be confined in the new varieties. A part of these will be new varieties that have bees produced by a careful system of breeding for the parp?se cf obtaining varieties posses? sing certain characteristics. In the nursery exhibit, ? collection of nursery trees affected with crown gall and other diseases as well as trees infected with wooly aphis will be made.

Columbia, March 13.-Chief Con? stable Hammett received his commis? sion today and announced two ap? pointments, those of J. W. Seay and J. K. White, of Spartanbnrg, to be constables. His first order to con? stables prohibiting them from using liquor, is as follows : .Columbia, March 12, 1903. To Division Chiefs : On and after this date the use of intoxicating liquors by members of the State con? stabulary force will not be tolerated. Any constable against whom the charge of intoxication shall be made will, upon conviction, be suspended thirty days for the first offence and upon conviction of the second offence he will be dismissed from the service. You will communicate this order as quickly as possible to the various con? stables under vour directions. W. B. Hammett, Chief Constable. FINANCIERING. Cleghorn's friends always insisted that he had the making of a financier in him, says Puck. Accordingly, when they read in the paper that Cleg? horn was in jail, they were in nowise surprised. Cleghorn, it seems, formed a stock company in oil. He got out a mil? lion shares, of a dollar each, causing them to be quoted at the modest price of five cents. Then he borrowed $50,000, and with it paid% dividend of 5 per cent. At once the stock rose to par, and Cleghorn sold out, at a profit of more than $900,000. After that he bought him a racing automobile, and in due course was locked up. "Just what I always thought would happen," remarked one of Cleghorn's friends, with a quiet laught. Preston Garland celebrated his one hundred and fourth birthday at Morristown, N. J. ?Until recently he was a constant reader of the newspa? pers. Garland is sexton of the Afri? can Methodist Church there, having served in that capacity for the last six years, and is a member of the board of trustees of the church. President Samuel Spencer denies that he will retire from the Southern rail? way. Stockholm claims the largest school house in the world, which has ac? commodation for 2,S70 children. In the basement are 100 bath rooms, where the children are required to bathe if their teachers think they are ! not taught habits of cleanliness at home. Soap and towels are furnished free by the city. A wholesome dinner is furnished to poor children at noon in all the public schools if they need j it, as in Norway, which insures every j child at least one warm meal each | day. - I CoL J. P. Caldwell, editor of the Charlotte Observer, has accepted the invitation to deliver the annual ad? dress before the South Carolina Press association The association holds its meeting this year in July at White Stone Lithia Springs. Wall street is on the verge of another i money stringency and the gamblers are naturally looking to the Treasury of the United States for relief. In fact they would even go so far as to hold up the Panama canal treaty, if there? by they could keep the fifty million dollars purchase money promised to the United States of Colonmbia for the concession in the treasury, where they can get at it by a mere apeal to Secretary Shaw. Wall street plays with values like a child with fire and when it finds itself about to be burned it cries for help. Let any country busi? ness man, farmer or laborer get into financial straits because of reckless management or riotous living and he ; eau split his throat crying for aid be? fore Washington gives him relief, and why is Wall street of more importance than any individual, except to furnish campaign funds for the Republican organization? The Staff of "The State." i - - Columbia, March 17.-The staff of the State has recently undergone some changes owing to the death of Mr. N. ! G. Gonzales. Mr. W. E. Gonzales is at the head of the editorial depart? ment, with Mr. James A. Hoyt, Jr., as assistant. Mr. E. J. Watson, form? er city editor, succeeds Mr. W. E. Gonzales as news editor, and Mr. Ran? dolph W. Smith, of Richmond, Va., who has had experience on metro? politan journals, is city editor. The First National bank of Jackson? ville, the oldest bank in Florida, has closed its doors. larvel?us Escape from Death ! PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND Does a Wondrous Work for a Lady Who Was Almost Crazed with Pain and Suffering, It is well known that terrible rheumatism, sciatica, and neuralgia cause more helpless? ness, acute suffering, and agony, than any of the other diseases that afflict humanity. The great medicinal virtues of Paine's Celery Com? pound make it the only trustworthy specific for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial letters from the most prominent people of the land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound has banifced these terribly fatal troubles when all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Mar? garet Bethel, of Biainerd, Minn., after thirty years of agonizing tortures had a desire to end her life, if it was the will of Heaven; she al? most prayed for the time to lay it down. Heaven-directed, she made use of Paine's Celery Compound, and is enjoying true life once more. She says: "For thirty years I have been a great suf? ferer from neuralgia in the head, and also with rheumatism in the whole body. I began taking Paine's Celery Compound anti soon found I was much better. Before taking the Compound, my life was such a burden that I almost prayed to lay it down. I was bedfast every two weeks with horrible pain in the head, back, and neck, until I was almost crazed. I am able to do harder work and more of it today than for twenty-live years. I am really enjoying life again, thanks to Paine's Celery Compound. I am satisfied that my life has been prolonged many years by its use."
