On a recent visit to Blowm Rock, through thecoui tesy of Mr. T W Coffey, we took a pleasant vrjp ro onuiis Mills and Foscoe. As most of our readers ma v know Shulls Mills is the old home of the lateCapt, Walter Lenoir, who was so popular with and such a friend of the people of Watauga. wr. joe Shuil still occupies his hospitable home there, while Mr. W. V. ( alio way is now the owner of the old Stonwall Mills from which the place takes its name. Mr. 0. W. Bobbins js conducting as successful mercantile business and . is enjoying a good trade. J. here are numerous well kept larms in vicinity and a large crop oi very superior hay has j u s t bcn harvested. Among the suc cessful farmers may be mention ed Mr. J. C. Shull, Mr. J. A. Wood ie, Mr. E. S. Gragg, a former Caldwell man, and Joerin'ppsand others. All of these well kept farms show that the owners take a pride in their work and they are enjoying the fruits of their labors tothe fullest extent. There arem'anyj fine cattle and' sheep to be seen on the pastures and everjrspringhouse is stocked with the finest milk and butter. An interesting enterprise in the vicin ity of Foscoe, which is situated two miles up the beautiful Wat auga river from Shulls Mills, is a ginseng garden owned by Messrs J.B.Johnson and Julius Cala way. The ginseng plant is a deli cate' plant that has its favorite habitat in the densely shaded covers, and glens of the moun tains. It is of slow growth at taining its full maturity at the age of seven years. It takes year for the seed to germinate an4 thea under careful attention the little or sprouting seeds are transferred from the germinating boxes to the muck beds hauled in from the woods. The beds of muck are arranged much like an ordinary' plant bed and the little ginseng plants are set six to ten inches apart in the beds. These beds are all of the rich muck from the mountain covers arid the cultivation of the little plants Bi'mply consists in keeping the beds clear of weeds and keeping a liberal amount of the cool damp muck around the plants. The whole garden is covered over and fenced in with a substantial lattice, . giving to the plants a cool, damp, shaded bed, as near like the densly shaded covers as DosMble. . : The, plants begin to. "produce seed at ine age ui uu.-o years and these seed are carefully harvested and planted. The root of ginseng is the part that is val uableand at the qge of seven years thepots are'dug and Bold The price ranges from four to seven dollars per pound for the dry roots and the growers estimate that they :can secure a good in come from ' an ordinary garden afterthe .crop-is pnee started and 'has Deeh going for" seven years. Messrs Johnson & Calaway have several hundred dollars invested in their garden and expect after a few years to have some ginseng Uady,for the marKt.;i v-s , iftfc Jwscoe .mere w iMHwyuuiiv Lt.nni' hnilditi-? that would do f redit td ahV'commuhity and the people.havH a good public school there" rnis yedf.

C THURSDAY Eaacallon and Self' Control. (Parish Visitor.) The moral responsibility rest ing upon the educated niati is al ways held to be greater by the mass of humankind than upon the uneducated. His training is supposed to fit him peculiarly to assume civic burdens because of well-balanced judgment and a per feet understanding of the results consequent upon his inability to carry out public service with sig nal devotion. To such casualists there is no distinction between ed ucation of the mind and educa tion of character; the two ideas seem synonymous. Yet in the last analysis, was there ever, could there possibly be, a grosser fala cy? Education is self-control, or education in character for char acter is essentially i the result of self control is by no means de pendent upon a primary integral efficiency of either the receptive or reasoning processes. It is con cerned wholly and entirely with will, and will may be associated with the last degree of ignorance or of stupidity. A man's educa tion or lack of education is not always responsible for his acts. Stronger than any uplift derived from a leading out of the mind are natural individual procliyl ties, and the degree to which they are indulged. The primary impulse to self- control comes most often from early childhood environment, es pecially whenrthis environment is that of wholesome religious in fluence, as exerted by parents. The kind of sanctity that is mere ly a hollow sphere of goodness, and the percussion note of which peals out indifference or falsity at its center can seldom or never be productive of good on the growing mind of the child, whose psychological insight into the deeper significance of the lives o! his elders is scarcely paralleled by any perfection in the art of ment al science to which bis subsequent life as a student may lead him Education in self-control, then must be primarily congenial af fair,' in increased and perfected in the life of the adult by his rec ognition of the wiser policy o! restraint as affecting bis best in terests. There1 need b nothing morbid, nothing emotional, noth inir intellectual about it. Moi over, seii-controi may oe manv festly limited to a restraint over a single tendency to excess; "or it may be normal and complete over all wayward tendencies save one, and that one be deep-seated seemingly ineradicable. , There is no denying that m these days of feverish anxiety for riches )the temptations held up before the nian of. influence business are especially strong; and many of them are not ethical ly wrong in the beginning, bu becomes so ere the unwary has had a change to stop and. con sider. We may rely on the con stancy (or inconstancy, H y o u please) of human nature, so that in the lonir run. the refdlfc to the State or Nation is scarcely likely to be a permanently damaging one.; The outlook' ' for business integrity and popular honesty is we believe, quite as good as ever was; and buplicity and dis honesty are .not proportionately greater titan ' they have always been in the history of the world as we know it.

Now that the "tumult ond the shouting" have died and the "cap tains and the kings" have depar ted, it is but just and lair to say that the man who started the movement which resulted in the vindication of the supremacy -t)'f the State law, Judge Long, of 6tate8ville, has hardly been giv en the credit he deserves. In the nature of the case it was natural j for the Governor to be crowded to the front of the platform and as a consequence be has received good deal of hand-clapping hich properly belongs to Judge ong. The Governor did his full dutv and deserves full credit herefor. But before anybody had done anything, without any in structions from anybody Judge Long, having satisfied himsel as to the law, charged the Wake county grand jury, on the 8th of uly that the railroads were vio- ating the law and should be in dicted. The indictments were made several days later and af. ter this 'Judge Long was given upport. It may be that indict ments would have been brought and action taken had Judge Long pursued a different course at Wake court, but it is a fact we understand, that four other judg es opened Wake court and so far as heard they did not charge that the rate law was being violated and no indictments were brught. The Landmark isn't going to enter into any controversy as to who ia entitled to most credit in this case; it has had no word with Judge Long about the matter, director indirect, and it does not hlnk that public officials ordina rily deserve special credit for do iug what it Is their business to do. But inasmuch as there is much applause about this rate fight we ofltr the suggestion that Judge Long should haye bis full share, or it is a matter of history that he staited the whole movement and munaged his end of it in Wake court so that they didn't get his man by habeas Jcorpus proceedings- Statesville Laud mark.

The most eminent medical scien tists are unanimous jn the conclusion that the generally accepted limita tion of human life is many years be low the attainment possible with the advanced knowledge 'of .which the race is now possessed. The critical period, that determines it duration seems to be between 50 and 60; the proper, care of the body during this decade cannot be too strongly urged; carelessness then being fatal to long evity.

The State of Georgia has gone drv. By legislative enactment, with the support of overwhelm ing majority after a stormy fight, the Empire State of the South has been placed under a strin gent prohibition measure which is to become operative over the entire State on the first of next January, The State of Sam Jones thus becomes the first one in the South to launch out under' the prohibition banner, anditiH no occasion for wonder at all that his widow and his name-sake son should be among the yery first to wire congratulations to the winning leaders in strenuous con test. '- ' There are in the minia of some good people feelings of misgiv ing as to the wisdom of applying prohibition to a ' State except through the process of local op tion elections. But if the princi ple of State prohibiton by legis- ative enactment, or even by ma' oritv of the popular vote, may seem too venturesome, it should be rememfcered that bad disease often demand severe remedies The memory of recent race riots in Atlanta is still fresh in public mind , and these bloody outbreaks are closely associated with the inspiration derived from the whisky dives. The destruction o these dens of evil by the State o! Georma. whether-Htlanta and other saloon cities wish it or not .... cannot fail to work out for the good of the communities soncern ed. It will benefit both white and black; but if the benefit were fel only by the negro, the applica tion of State prohibition would seem to be aduty which thegrcat white race owes to the weaker which dwells with it in city and country. Here in the city of Ral eigh the sale of whisky is regula ted by the dispensary method and when one sees what the drink from this source is doing for the negro alone, it is enough to cause any good citizeu to wish to wash his hands of all lesral or moral compacity in the dreadful tra fie. -- : Endorsed By The County. : ''The most popular - remedy Otsego county, and the best friend of my family," writes ffra, M, Dictz editor and publisher of the Utsego Journal, Gilbertavillc, N.
