A Growing: Evil. -
We hear complaints made dail
at the manner in which the law for
carrying concealed weapons is en
forced and the ' courts are held re
sponsible for the non enforcement of
the law. When in. fact the courts
are powerless in that the punish
ment is 60 limited. All admit that
the courts promptly and properly
punish parties charged with larceny
why, simply because they have
thepower. A. man can commit
the most outrageous assault
imaginable and the only punish
ment is fane or county jail. While
a simple larceny of one chicken is
4 months in jail or penitentiary at
discretion of the court. The law
prohibiting the carrying concealed
weapons.or assaults with deadly
weapons will prove a failure and
fruitless so long as the courts are
limited an the punishment, lue
statute against assaults with deadly
weapons and carrying concealed
weapons ought to be so amended
as to allow punishment by line or
imprisonment in county jail or pen
itentiary in the Wise discretion ol
the court.
The Geowth of oca Southeks CiTrss.--
The Danville ( Va ) Remitter of the 18th
contains an interview, with Mr. Hinton
A. Helper, general manager of Th' Sooth
for -North Carolina, a gentleman con-
stanUv .on the gty-Cwm' one place to an
other, and in a position to tuoruughly
understand ana know tne stiikingim
provement now going on throughout the
South. To several questions put to him
by the Register reporter, he said :
"The entire South mutt abandon the
one crop idea before it can become pros
perous, homogeneous, or happy. How
many families do you suppose are in
debt to-day by following the one crop
system 7 Nearly every one, except a very
few, who have learned by hard expsri
ence, loss of time, and much money, that
the way to prosperity is in diversifying
their labors. Take the cities and towns
to-day which are prosperous, growing in
productive wealth, and cooiuierical im
portance : Birmingham, Ala.; Montgom
ery, Ala.; Asheville, N. C; Charlotte,
N. C. In these places above mentioned
yon will see thrift and enterprise. Farm
ers growing what they actually need,
merchants creating a home market for
surplus productions, building improve
ments going on, cottages for the new
comers springing up, and a business air
of prosperity prevailing everywhere.
"If the lien law and the mortgage sys
tem could be forever eiadicated in certain
portions of tbe South, there is no telling
where prosperity would begin or end.
"Capital is looking southward every
day. Take Birmingham, Alabama, and
Asheville, .north Carolina, and see now
those places have grown during the past
three years. This is but a drop in the
backet in comparison to what will follow
in tbe future. One of the happiest
auguries as to our upbuilding in com
mercial thrift and enterprise is the eager
desire of the railroads to penetrate our
country to run into mineral Melds over
fine farming lands and down to our coast
for outlets to foreign ports.
The constant inquiry being made by
English capitalists and the better class of
emigrants reguruiug iuc auuwu aa utuu
for investment and homes, is alco a very
strong indication that the new South is
on a tidal wave , of prosperity and
advancement." :.r

Frcit Growing Discusskd. ..-
Mr. Geo. E. Boggs, of this section, who
has been recently on a visit to Kentucky,
writes us from CatletUburg whilst oat
there as to the growth of fruits. He says
Our beautiful section ffler rare advan-
ia-3o jur jiuib tui v:r6 miLni aru umy

ple. There is, in my opinion, no other
industry that offereJU eneat advantages.
In visiting this st":ioj' I have found
much interest in 'csaVatlng . thn fruit
growing industry. fTliffjiilture of apples
.. n c r : . i ... ' u : .1. 1
especially has grestly t creased in tne
last auarter of a ceri'urv. Within a
radius of ten mHesS?f th& maca there are
a few orchards of two to thsga thousand
treesiid a creat number of ."Tne thousand

bers-nd J? rsfcW a fe"iSpi-re wULfl
U rapes ar l m-aw masvueo1
fffW! here'
and pear iM not sttreed vefv tn,)l
one la ?t that naileupcialiy interested
me in the experiefee of fruit-growers is
a .... . - - . -
the improvement ix th.3 market for fruits
with their increased orodaction. I am
told that fruit sells much more readily
and at better prices now than it did fif
teen or twenty yei rs ago when much less
fruit was grown fA market This only
proves that the 4'oetite for fruit like
other appetites "grows by what it feeds
on."
Another fact of interest is the greater
value of-apples crown in the "hills" or
the rough lands back from the river than
frown on the rich lands near the river,
t is especially more attractive in color.
For along time the.R.omp.Beautv whith
originated near VfeBTQJkhe principal
apple cultivated, rat opj.-Jfre year the
en liavis anjj jitn s.v" ' oet-u
introduced crowding tbe former
out. The Ben Davis though not quite so
rich in flavor as the Rome Beauty is
quite as attractive in appearance, a better j
keeper and tne tres is more productive ,
and IE-therefore better 6uited to a com
mercial orchard. The Smith's Cider
though not quite so pretty is a fine fruit
in quality, size and appearance and the
tree 13 remarkably hardy and productive.
It is not quite as good a keeper as the
Ben Davis. Hon. Norman J. Coleman.
Commissioner of Agricultr re, says these
two trees the Ben Davis and Smith's
Cider have in his experience yielded
twice as much profit as any other tree
witn which be was acquainted. The
Missouri Pippin -a more recent introduc
tion is so far as known here very popular
as is the cage wherever it has been in
troduced. V V. H. E. Vandeman, U. S.
PomoloTt'r Indly sent me some Rueci-
""frill falL It is a great ftT
wn After careful investigation"!
am satisfied it is at least equal to the two
just mentioned. But for the fact that the
trees exhauet themselves by excessive
fruitfulness and for that reason are rather
short lived, I should pronounce it the
best of three. I have no doubt its defect-
exhaustion from over bearing could be
in good measure prevented by abundant
food keeping the ground well fertilized.

Says the Ntw Observer of Wednesday :
' Not since the day Miss Turlington's
dead body was found near Cary has there
been as much excitement on the streets
as there was yesterday on account of
what seemed to be authentic reports of
tne capture ot isingbam. Kumors tnat
certain telegraphic correspondence had
passed between tiov. Scales and a detec
tive who was reported to have discovered
Bingham's whereabouts, increased the
excitement and eagerness, and the ques
tion 01 tne day was ; "Is that so about
Bingham's having been' discovered?"
Nothing authentic was learned, though
it is certain that there has been, corres
pondence between the Governor and
some parties who are evidently in
possession of knowledge concerning
Bingham, and it seems that a proper time
only is being awaited for his production.
Tbe reports of his beinz near Asheville
are without foundation, but some state

deceased General was more than a paper
warrior if he got off half the feats of arms
in the late war ascribed to him biograph
ically. Chicago is much waked nn over the
fact that Miss Nina Clarke Van Zandt.
