IX THE LAND OF WATERMELONS. . Rev. J. A. Baldwin Writes) of the LnsctouM Fruit of the Vine a rxHina wown in Robeson Some thing; of the Schools In That Sec tion. To the Editor of The Observer: "Watermelons free, and thank you for the privilege of giving them to tyou. Please take tho whole car load." I recently had occasion to take a little trip Into Robeson coun ty and the above was the substance of a remark made to me by a man of Maxton who' had a car of melons on the track for which there waa no' sale, I have had for some time a general In terest in the melon business of this section and was glad to know more fully or It. Last year they mad" big profits, and If they could do as well every year It would make the growers rich. But as in everything there mast be some of the bitter with the sweet and ao it has been this year. The great melon markets are Laurlnburg, Maxton and Red Springs, but they are shipped from several other points In that section. I am told that more than a thousand car loads of watermelons and cantaloupes are being shipped annually. The sea son Is short. Tney are rurniaiea to the Northern markets first by Florida, then by Georgia, then the Carolines come In, and the season here lasts from three to four weeks. After thati Virginia and the sections runner norm take the traae. as Indicated above the prices this year have been very low. It Is said that one man shipped six cars of melons North. The commission man in act- ling up Informed him that the melons lacked $40 of bringing enough to pay the freight. The grower promptly wrote In reply that h didn't have any money, but would ahio more melons. This la naturally very discouraging to those- In this business. Last year there was a number of buyers here ac tively biddlnr -on melons; this year the situation became ao bad that the railroads would not take them unless the freight waa guaranteed. But the situation waa not so bad aa the above would Indicae. Some of he shippers made enough to pay for the actual expense of making and handling them. Then they raised melons - a an extra crop. Cotton and corn - be Ing the main crops. They sowed peas with the melons, and their pea vine hay will In moat cases pay ex penses. The principal reason for this alump In price Is said to be the immense fruit crop; especially the peach crip Last year there were few peaches and tha people ate melons. This year peaches were abundant and rheap, and people having missed them last year very naturally preferred them to melons. The hlg.i prices last year caused a larger crop to he grown this. Then, too, the panic, no doubt affected the market consid erably. It is very likely that not for many years will melon-raising be so profitable aa last year, or so un profitable as this. This Is a fine country. There are great crops of cotton, corn and pea vine hay, and an Industrious and pros perous people.- But more then In the abundant crops was I Interested in their Institutions of learning. passed right by the sits of old Floral College, where my mother was edu cated, in us day it aid a great work. At Bed Springs Dr. Vardell has built up a great school for glrla, under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church, the Influence of which per meates that whole section, and not that section only, for I am told their students represent quite a number of different States. It is the result of a heroic faith, courage, Industry and perseverance.- It was also with much pleasure that I surveyed the rising walls of Carolina College at Maxton. This It under the auspices of tho North Carolina Methodist Conference and. I. think, is destined to be a great Institution. These Institutions Indicate an In creasing benevolence on the part of our men of means ror education tnat Is most encouraging. It is at thla point that I think the South has been most remiss. She has permitted h.r educators to pour out their life blood with the most meagre equipment and without adequate compensation. Jt has not been so In t,he North. My experience has been that those from the North bave been much more lib eral for educational work than have our own people of equal wealth. But If the South ia to take her proper place in the country she must awake to her responsibility and duty In this respect in -the south tne classes have been educated and we have nev er lacked leaders, but ' the masses have not been educated and we have palda high price for their ignorance. Ignorance has never developed any country however great Its natural re sources! it has never made two blades of grass grow where only one grew before; It has never Indented labor saving machinery; It has neverraaved waste end leakage- it has never de- veloped new lines of Industry; It has never engineered a railroad, built a public highway or even Improved a footpath: it - baa never permitted a man to do the best that Was In him. But It takes money to train and edu cate the human mind. - Our people must recognise this and meet the need. - They are beginning to do It - But i have gone far afield from watermelons, so I will close. , - - J.

Bryan Considers It Fighting Ground, But Tart Men Not Uneasy. Washington Dispatch to Brooklyn Eagle. : Judge Taf t is bound to reap the benefits of the crusade for pure poli tics which Is on in California. The Roosevelt-Lincoln League la leading this fight It Is a powerful organiza tion In all the Urge cities. In it are both Democrats and Republicans of Influence; some of them were big leaders In the old machines before corruption became ao rotten that it drove them out. Thla league will en dorse Taft for the presidency and tne greater part of Its at-engtb will be thrown to him. . This will be a tremendous lift for the Republican nominee, and. added to the strength of the regular ma chine Republican vote, ought to give him the State. A very kindly feeling toward the former Secretary of War exists generally among Caltforntana There Is more Interest In the. future of the Philippine Islands displayed in California than in other State In the Union. The coast 'States will benefit more by free trade with the islands than any other section. Consequently Mr Tart s' long but unsuccessful ef forts to break-down the tariff bar riers between this country and the Philippines were deeply appreciated in California and aerved to develop l personal Interest in Mr. faft on the part of the people there. Bryan will be Injured in California by -Hearsts opposition perhaps more than anywhere else. The Independ ence Party cuts quite a figure In the oig cities mere, it prevented the eiec loh two years ago of young Theodore Jkll as Governor. Thla is the same young Mr. Bell who made such a fa vorable Impression on the Democratic leaders aa temporary chairman of the Denver convention. He was beaten for Governor by a scant 3. 00 votes, his defeat being everywhere charged to the hostility of the Hearst organi sation. The Hearst newspapers in San Francisco and Lns Angeles are devot ing more attention to pounding Mr. Bryan than to any other phase of the presidential fight. Mr. Bryan considers California fighting ground. The State was car ried by Cleveland In 1$92 by 44 votes, but one of the ten electoral votes was cast for Harrison. In the three suc ceeding presidential campaigns the Republicans cantured the State. Mc- Klnley'g first plurality was 2.700; his second 4V.Q00, and Roosevelt rolled up the enormous plurality of 116,000 In 1904. DIFFICULT DE.YTAL OPEH.ITIOX. Gold Bridge lilted In Mouth of a . Iiaif-Starveti Lion. New York Telegraph. A difficult dental operation was successfully accomplished yesterday on a lion, said to be the first opera tion of the kind ever performed on a lion's mouth. ' A handaome South African lion named Vendredi, In the Bostock col lection in Dreamland, recently had a molar extracted because It had de cayed and had given the lion so much pain that It refused to eat. Without the molar the Hon couldn't masticate, and It didn't have senae enough to chew on the other aide of Its mouth. What food it did swallow was taken whole, and Indlagestlon re sulted The lion became bad temper ed, thin, and sickly, and It was decid ed to conault Dr A. 8. McOougall, the Coney Island dentist, who- had ex tracted the tooth. - Doctor Mcpougalt proposed to In sert a bridge If it could be done, and Matt Johnson. Mr. Bostock'a mana ger, promised that the lion would be rendered helpless for the operation. The dentist, after taking an Impres sion of the lion's mouth, made from It a bridge of solid gold, for no other metai would stand the pressure of tha lion's Jaws and tha -wear of crushing Dones. Twenty-two pennyweights of goia were required, the operation costing $15$. The lion's mouth was held open by two ropes, tied to the upper and Un der Jaws. A. steel bar was Inserted between the jaws far back? In the mouth, so that the lion could not close Its teeth upon the dentist's hands. Ropes lassoed the body and ropes were tied to the paws. The head was arawn up to the bars of the case. irom wnicn point tne. dentist operat ed. JTln dentist aucceeded in Insert ing the bridge and maklnar It fast. During the operation, which lasted half an hour, ths lion vainly strained to creak away. ; THE LATEST CLATUS STTORE.'
