Ia Anson Connty this State, until Recently there li?ed Ellis Hightower, 4 young man who had nearly all his life made aud sold whiskey. When grazed with liquor last week, he shot 4nd killed his nother without the Slightest provocation. For several days before the awful deed he had fceen driukiDf so hard he could not rBt day or night. During the flight alter the killing he cut his 4hi'oat with a raaor and soon there After died. Referring to this tra gedy, the Monroe Enquirer com ments: Ellis Ilightower was one who held that a man has a right to make and to sell liquor, that the law which"profide3 for the suppression of the liquor traffic is unjust and takes away man's "personal liberty.' He held, too. that a man has a right to drink liquor and no man has a light to deny him the privilege of buying it on the ope mar ket like flour and meat is bought. Poor fellow, his life could have been an honor to himself and the pride of his old mother, but he would not have it so. Iiy his own hand h sent his sou! into eternity, after that he had killed his old moth er. To lie down in the grave a murderer, a suicide and a drunkard; t be tragedy is un speakable. Whiskei is the one, the only cause of it ail, for El lis Hightower, when not under the influence of liquor, never lifted his hand against his old mother, and manhood with him was at its flood tide and he lov-t-d life. What an arraignment against the use of liq.uor this tragedy is. EXTENSIVE CHURCHES. Taking for his text the new $150 000 Methodist Church at Durham, Editor R. M. Phillips, of the New 3Jern Sun, writes a most sensible ar ticle on the subject of the '-country and the city people's getting too far from e.ieh other. While it would tie nsilil, to make any church em-'ed f the glory of i'ol. too line. "The tciuUn.'V in the direc tion of gettitig the members of the city chun ln.s i,d the mem bers of the country churches too f.ir apart in custom ;;nd syle. lleie is a church to co.-t aprice ly sum, say at least $ 150,000. Theie are many country chuch es that are not equipped so that they are comfortable on a cold -winter day. Many of tbem did not cost more than $500 each, aud eomeof tbem cost less than that. Now, instead of putting $150,000 in a single church, would it not be better for that rich congregation to erect a $50, 000 building (which will make a line city church for any city in North Carolina) and donate the extra $100,000 in sums of one thousand dollars each to one hundred poor country churches throughout the State? This is not socialism, but the true missionary spirit, the very essence of religion. A selBsh religion is not the religion that blesseB mankind.7 It is time for those who control the affairs nf the churches to take into account what the re sult of present tendences will be. If the life of Christ teaches anything stronger than another, it is humility. And today you will find the happiest christians in the modest, unpretentious churches. In following the plan heresug-ge.-tel it would nut be giving a cent to man, hnt contributing to Him for whose seiyice men build churches. " 1 A crucial test ht shown clearly in whose interest the government of the United S ates is now alliums tered. In the financial panic which has swept over the great part of the Cotmtry. The stock jobbers of Wall Street received from Ml. Cor ielyou, Secretary of the Treasury f 25,000,000 of the people's money from the United State's Treasury o belp tide over the disaster caused by Wall Street gamblers. , During this panic cotton tumbled daily which conditions were forcing ales by farmers at losses amounting to feme two hundred million dol lars.. Representative Burleyson of Texas, requested Mr. Cortelyou to deposit ten millions in Southern batiks to be secured by warehouse cotton receipts. Not a dollar conld be had for the cottou farmers, while millions were lavished on the gam blers and stottk jobbers of Wall Street;. The Cleveland Star closes a sensible article on this subject us ing the following: "As far as the South is concerned it need expect no favors from this or any other Re publican administration. Only the siren voice of Wall Street is heard. As the Cuarlofe Obseryer very per tinently observes, "Mr. Burleyson could come about as near getting millions out of the Treasury bur glariously us by coming forward with such a plan and at such a time." Verily, millions for the pro tectiou aud defense of Wall Stieet, but not a cent for (he cotton farmer." COMMENTS. The National Banks having now got all the free money in the United States Treasury but about ten mil lion are still refusing cash pay ments. The cottou. wheat, corn and tobacco buyers under this Re publican plan of finance say they get no mouey to buy produce, be cause the Wall Street banks have received the lion's share. The Republican government of Oklahoma and Nevada have pro claimed a holiday for a week to pre vent the banks from being obliged to pay out money to their depositors, or be closed up. This is what Con gressman Tawney brazenly calls Re publican prosperity. The frenzied financiers of Wall Street, with the aid of Secretary Cortelyou, have got things in such a lix that no stock can be bought on margin, and all the Savings Ranks have suspended payment. Mr. Roosevelt wants railroads to be made "National Commercial Agents." Those who have studied the case of Kansas V. Pacific Rail road will understand what that would mean, aud will also perceive that Congress has no power to creau national commercial agents. Mr. Roosevelt means governmental com mercial agents or instrumentalities. These cannot be taxed by he Statts or local authorities. Speaker Cannon has the Presiden tial bee buzzing aiound him, and liss induced 14 Illinois Republican Congressmen to shout for him in preference to Teddy or Taft. The symptoms of Republici., prosperity under the 'trust prot.e'i -laiiff are so ohv ions t ha so i;r 13 New York hanks have close I their doois. no' including the siav of pro ceedings of all t!ie Oklahoma and Nevada banks. And further evi dence is shown by many of the trusts and corporations stopping construe :ion work; most of the sav ings batiks refusing to pay their de positors, and the stock produce mar kets paralyzed. President Roosevelt will hardly go down iu history as the insurer of prosperity. The United States has prospered in spite of the tariff, but the bubble has broken at last, as we predicted last Spring. The Beef Trust maguates declare hey have reduced the price of meat 10 per cent. It is now up to the butchers to make good. The action of our Republican Ad ministration in placing all the spare money in th Wall Street banks has forced the price ot wheat and cottou down so that the foreigners will get a good deal of those necessities at bargain prices, and our farmers are the looeers.

Applrtiruuliifr, Selecting, Pruning and PlauUng. Intelligent selection of plants is the first esseutial. Vigor in the plant should be sought aud certain pqysical chaiacterisisics which might be expecteded to allow a well distributed growth. One year slips are better than two year slips. In transplanting two-year slips more of the root must be sacrificed and rg a result the tree is robbed of a con siderable part of its strength. The roots should also be observed aud and where indication of hairy roo. exists the plant should not te ac cepted. A plant that has ptt a root a root out above the graft is more desirable than those on which the roots have sprung from below. That, however, is not an unusual development and should not be re gorded to tbe point of discarding all others. HOW TO PRONE CORBECTL Y TWO METBOP8. After selecting t'e slip the neit thing to be done is to prune it, ran and crown. Bruises are produced on the roots of the process of up rooting and each of these where they amount to more than scratch should be pruned awiy. In prun. ing he slip the root should be primped to conform with the prun ing to be done, after planting to the kip. A one year slip should be pruned at about the height of the knee and a two-vear sIid at a height to the bottom branch of from eight een to twenty-four inches. When prumag the roots the tree should be turned upside down and the cut made at the slant from a point on the bottom towards the end of the mot. Most of the slips tend to put to put all their roots out to one side. 1 hut was caused by the method ot grafting; a splice graft pro Jnced tiiat effect, but it wo"ld be n utral ixed by a a wedge graft. I here are two practices, either of which are goo J, followed iu pruninu t O slips One of which is proba- tily approved that let i a central bud sin o. ing tut from the juncture with th uppermost lateral blanches 1 be other pruned the the tree away and is pnbJJIy the tree to spread. If training the tree for syminrtrical development efforts should be made to eliminate all branches but the top and lateral brautv.-s each -printing fri'ui a third s:tion of i circumference of the tiee and i id far enough upar: to ol'ow full -w-i-ipuietit. I hat he .--us is the nie.1. Where Mie condition would not pcimit di'i-'s shouhi lie made t conform near as possis !!. should be ma le. In pruning w nil this end in view there should be no hesitan cy in cutting away superll ins roots. 1 he hole should be deep enough to allow roots to be placed without cramping. Loose earth should be worked between the roots that every one is imbedded in earth, aud wad ded so that the tree stauds upright and firm. Do not pack dirt on top but leave loos?. Ashes tend to protect the tree from insects. Trees should be planted 20 or 30 feet apart. Tbe Pontiaaster f Gasconade, Vo., Daniel A.

GET WHAT YOU WANT The "Junt ;od kind" Sextr Pays. If there is one thing more than another that should aggravate a self-resj ntiug leason, it is to be told that, the article tney aik for at their druggist's is not to be had, hut that tin v vm have something "just as good or better." The principal reason for Mich attempts a', substitu tion is cither the desire of the stort keeper io fell something ou which he can make more money, or he hasn't the goods asked for, and wants to make a sale of something in its place. Eveay reader of this paper should bear in mind when asking for Viuol, the modem cod liver oil preparation that it is for sale in Asheboro at our store, only, and that it can always be had when asked for.
