Lockiiart, Ju'y 0.?The tr
son pulled <3ut from Toccoaand <
way lay among steep hills and d?
valleys. One in looking from
window on one side might see a st<
cliff looming up and on the othc
deep valley. Then wo would sir
a tre=tle that spanned a waterl
valley. One could not h?-!p 1

Near Ayersville I saw the larg
orchard that I have ever seen,
could not well estimate the numl
of acres a9 it was not all in sig
but possibly it was over one hundi
acres. The trees were mostly pea<
and were young. This orchard v
fiinged on one side by an extensi
vineyard. The vines were ?irefu
trellessed and were loaded with cl
ters of small grapes.
At Mt. Airy a big h^tel wasuni
construction; I cmnct name its
mensions, but it was a whopper,
branch road runs down and c
nects the main line with the histo
Tulula Falls, which arc some twen
miles distant. How glad I wot
have been to have feasted my ey
on these historic falls, but away <
sped. We passed many pictures^
towns that bore names taken fro
the musical tongue of the Indiar
We passed Gainesville, which
quite a prettv place, with its ni
buildings, wide streets and beautif
yards. The thought that it won
soon bo a secno of desolation ai

i a The most interesting devclopme
ile of the past week has been the '"sen
o(Ticial" statement of Russia legar
r- ing the proposed petition which t
ut President has agreed to forward
ec the Czir. At the earnest solicit
it tion of the executive cojnmittce
to the B'nui B'rith, Mr. Rooscve
after protesting that the Uniti
ah States could make no diplomat
t- representations to Russia regardit
the Mishenev massacre, final
as agreed to forward to the Czar a p
at ti ion appealing for special conside
ation for the Russian Jews, a era
id of which had been submitted to hii
l- and to Secretasy Ilay. Russia
ollieiiila ih pri pnnaoil 1a Ka '
... > U UO VCII I
r- the Associated Press a "semi official
cr satement to the effect that Kussi
could not receive such a petition nc
r. permit any notice to be taken by
ie foreign government of Russian in
i tcrnal a flairs.
On receipt cf this statement th
0 State Department issued a carefull
:o prepared announcement. It was t
i, the effect that the I nitid State
f. coulp not recognize any "remi-offi
it cial" statement; that the petition, it
g the absence of an official protest
a from Russia, would be forwarded at
soon as it was received in Washing
- ton. The most significant part o
3 this statement came from "un official'
- wl o announced that he was noi
1 speaking in an official capacity. lie
said that "it seemed somewhat strange
to say the least, that the Russian
t government should ehoosc this method
of making a statement to the American
people at the very time when,
by methods which are certainly the
reverse of friendly to the United
States, it has sought to make China
join in breaking the plighted faith of
all tne powers as to tho opon door in
Manchuria and has endeavored to
bar our p3oplc from the Manchurian
trade."
The signifies aco of tiic last statement
is construed to mean that the
United States, proposes, almost as a
means of punishment to Russia, because
of her breaking faith in Man-,
churia, to send the petition,
it is refused, copies will undoubted
be furnished to the European po
ers and the announcement will
made that Russia has refused to cnt<
tain the petition, a move most oflfe
sive to Russia because of her repu
nance to being held up to the woi
as a semi-barbaric nation. If, ho
ever, Russia should reconsider
action in China, the United Sta
will doubtless think better of its
tention of forwarding any commu
' cation regarding the Ivlshenev
| fair. The situation is peculiarly
tercsting because of that in Euro
Great Britain is as usual far fr<
friendly with Fcrsia because of I

invasion of Arabia. France, ltuss

be loath to choose between the
countries. Germany, never wari
attached to Russia, has recer
y given ample proof of her desire
fthe friendship of this country. 1
der the circumstances, Russia's r
move is awaited with the kepnest
terest.
Apropos of Franee's desire to (
_ tivatc the friendship of the Un
States and her determination no
be outdone in this direction by (
many, it is worthy of note that
French Ambassador postponed
departure from Washington for
summer in order that he might
liver the oration of the day in W
ington on the 4th.of July. V
the hope of obviating the many c
alities ordinarily incident to the
the authorities in Washington
termincd to hold an "old fashit
4th of July celebration" in the W
House grounds. M. Jousserand,
French Ambassador, was askc
speak and he immediately acccf
ft. changing his plans, he having
tcmplated leaving the city before
r? date, and remaining over. As
to have been expected, his ad<
y was highly complimentary to a
tcr republic." Speaking of this i
disposition to cultivate the Ui
