We gather from an Interview an official of the Haywood Fruit exchange gives the Waynesville Courier that only about 25.000 bushels of that county's great apple crop will be mar keted under such conditions as to make it profitable. An average of esti mates gives the county a total yield of 100,000 bushels. One-third to two thirds is conservatively estimated a total loss, due to neglect of orchards and trees, the fruit being of such poor quality as to be practically worthless in a heavy crop season. About 25 per cent of the crop, the Courier says, is of good quality, carefully graded and packed so as to bring the top, price. The Haywood exchange last week shipped the first solid car load of boxed apples ever sent out of the county. "This is following the western meth od of packing and experienced men were brought in the county to put up this fruit. It is interesting to note that a great portion of the boxes packed In the west is done by girls and we regret to say that not one girl or boy in Haywood county showed sufficient interest in the prize offered this year by the exchange to com pete. "It is thought this offer will be re newed another year and if it is there should be a large number of entries. There is no reason why Haywood boys and girls should not learn to pack apples us well as their western cousins and It is a highly profitable trade to learn." Haywood will profit more from its apple crop this season than ever be fore, but thousands at dollars have been lost by carelessness and lack of intelligent self interest. HOME II J,KA. If you like to draw a moralhere is the life of Homer Lea, adventurer. He was a hunchback of stunted crowth. five feet and three inches high; born to physical weakness and suffering. His was a career of accomplish ment from the start He was grad uated from Stanford university, Cali fornia, and by the time of manhood he had matured the adventurous plan of overthrowing the oldest and .most populous monarchy the ancient dy nasty of China and establishing a republic, he to be the martial ligure of leadership. Was he mad? Perhaps his condition might be properly so defined. But he went to China In 1899, and In 1901 returned . to his native State, California, bear ing a general's commission from the Chinese Reform association. He went back to China to take part In the revo lution and was active In that tri umphant struggle. Before his death, which occurred the other day at the age of 36, he wrote two books, "The Valor of Ig norance," and "The Day of the Saxon," warnings to America and Oreat Ilrltaln of dangers of unpre paredne for war. Often bodily limitations make for a persistence of spirit. Often physi cal weakness Is coincident with ab normal nervous energy. We may think of Homer Lea as one triumph ing over great handicaps In follow ing a career of high adventure which he had mapped for himself, but It is perhaps true that the very Imperfec tions of his bodily structure gave him a spiritual fire, a persistency and de sire, which served his purpose better than normally ahjusted faculties would have done.
