'.:i ! Published Every Thursday ' ' . Tht Stldier's - ,There are reports that there is to be a change in the methods of i conducting the Confederate Vet " eran's Home in Raleigh, that the program which is beingconsider ed la to bo arrange the affairs of .the institution that it will par v tke more of the hospital feature. ' As we recollect the matter, this l the suggestion of Dr. Rankin, ' secretary of the State Board of Health, mode quite a whilejback, after looking into matters con liected with the Soidier's Home. Since the opening of the home the plan has been to have it in charge of a Confederate veteran, iv moKt proper thing to do. It is evident, however, that in the course of time that such a man azement would have to come to an end, ordered by theyears that pass. It has been fifty-one years ttuice the War Between the States came to a close, ' and even the youngest of the trallant men who went in are around and past the seventies, for a young fellow of eighteen in 1865 is now 69 years of age. Theyears bring their limita tions, and there must soon be a 'day, even if it is not right at band, when the control of the Soldier's Home must be placed in other hands than those of the Confederate veterans. And the coming of that day should see ia charge of the institution some physician of executive ability, - with a competent corps of assis tants, among these of course some trained nurses, so that these latter days of the veterans who ' seek the shelter of the institution may be given that kindly care and attention that is due tbem. Some day the Soldiers' Home will close its doors on its present mis sion and our hope is thatasthat day approaches its usefulness and s service will be multiplied in effectiveness. Aslongasthere can bo compe tent control of the institution by Confederate veterans, the Sol , diers Home should be maintain . etl under that control. But when the change is made we feel that the plan suggested by Dr. Ran kin is the plan which is directed by the mission which found ex pression in the establishment of tho Confederate Veterans' Home.

Tucked away in the report of one of the British campaigns in Africa was this story of the ad ventures of a detached company: "We had lost two motortrucks in trying to cross the flooded river. One cose of meat and a small box of biscuit, very wet and fast becoming mouldy, were saved. Four miles up the road we commandered a lonesome mule, It must have wandered away from some farm and seemed glad to see us. On tho third day the meat was .gone. The. next we made a sort of porridge of the biscuits and scraped the box for crumbs. The following day we ate the mule. We'd have starved without it. All this talk about the auto truck supplanting the mule in war is pure nonsense. The truck may be, a swifter bearer of bur dens. It may endure a lot more weight without lying down in its harness, but slaughter it, stew it as long as you've a mind to, and there is not a particle of nourish ment in it from headlight to ex haust vent. The mule, onthecon- trary can be life to theweak, food to the perishing, manna in tho desert. Soldiers who think it is obsolete make a grave mis takr.

The manager of the Cone estate at Blowing Rock is this season preparing for a harvest of between 12,500 and 15,000 bushels. Over in tho Valle Crucis section the orchards of BishoD Horner will do even better. And the mountain people will tell you that ii is not an extra good year fqr apples, at thut. Tho success that has attended apple cultiva tion at these points has eucour aged the mountaineers to plant orchards and in the past two or three years npple growinghns made great progress. The one draw-back has been Ihe lack of railroad facilities, but this has been largely offset by the con struction of good roads. The apple crop can be hauled 20 mi les to the nearest railroad point or even 25 miles to the next nearest at 'a profit.

Or.ce in a while the sot reforms, and with soft drinks his stomach warms, and people say, "'Just watch him rise, and write his nameacross the skies!"
