When and How to Pretest other Vain able Bulletins. -. - This disease prevails in all parts i wn Carolina, in most sec tions of the State it is so bad that the grape crop is practically fuin ed unless the proper measures be taken to prevent the disease. The Blackrot is easily recogniz ed from th accompaiiying illus tration shoeing its most conspic uous charactersblaokeniug, dry ing and finally shriveling of the grapes in the clusters, Often all of them shrivel and dry in this way. Though the disease 4a sel dom noticed until the grape is badly shriveled, it may be seen earlier as a brown or black spot on the berry.; Before its appear ance upon the fruit at all it may be found as brown spots, one eighth to one-half "an ioch in diameter, on the leaves an twigs. Very -close examination of the diseased spots on twigs, leaves, or fruit, reveals the presence of very small pustules in great numbers. These pustules are the fruiting bodies of the fangns which is the cause of the black rot, and from these pustules issue immense num bers of spores which spread the disease. This disease can be prevented. If you saw black rot on your grapes last year it will almost cer tainly be there again this year, J unless you take steps to prevent it. Prevention is simple and stfre. It consists in spraytng your vines with the Bordeaux mixture, con- sisting-"? six pounds of bluestone, four pounds of lime and fifty gal lons of water The first applica tion, killing, the spores that are wintering on the bark and trellis, should be made before i the buds open: the . second, immediately before the blossoms appear ;t the bhird,Jjust after: blos8omingjithe fourth and fifth at intervals of ten to fourteen days thereafter. The cost of sprayings for an acre of grapes is about fifteen dol lars, including material and labor. The grapes saved will in value far exceed thiscost. . Now is the time of year to get your spray pump ready if you have one; to buy one if ne?d to; to prepare for the spraying needed during, the coming spring. If you need further information regarding spraying mixtures, how to piepare them, pumps, where to buy them, and what crops and when to spray, write to the North Carolina Experiment Station, West Raleigh, N.

Seme Steps Should be Taken to Prevent The Depletion of The Sopply. More lumber was ctit in the Uni ted States last year "than in any otner year mj . its aisuory ine enormousXmbunt of 37,550,736 board feet was! produced, and the mill value of this was $621,151; 338., In addition, there were pro duced ' 11,858,260,000 shingles, valued at $24,155,P55, and 3,812, 807,000 lath, valued at $11,490, 570. On the whole, it is : safe to say that the present annual lum bpr cut of the United Stales ap proximates 40 billidnifeet, and the total mill value oftho lum ber, lath, and shingles each year produced is not less ; than $700, 000000. These figures give some idea of how vast is the, lumber in dustry and how great is the de mand for its products. A glance at the kinds of lumber produced shows very clearly the passing of white pine and oak, one the greatest softwood and the oth er the greatest hardwood whidh the forest has ever grow Since 1889 the cut of white pine has alien off more than 40 per cent, while that of white oak has fallen Qff more than 36 per cent. Today yellow pine leads all oVher woods in amount cut, while Douglas fir and this will be a surprise to many comes second. Since 1899 the cut of Douglas fir has increas ed 186 per cent. Louisiaua is the oremost yellow pine State, with Texas, Mississippi, and Arkansas ol lowing in order. Washington produces by far the greatest amount of Douglas fir. A comparison oil the lumber- producing States shews that since 1899 there hjave beerfmany chang es in their relative rank.

Wisconsin, Minnesota, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana, tnd Ohio fell off any where from 29 to 54 per cent. The highest-priced native woods are walnut, hickory and ash, andn the cheapest are larch aud white fir. From the fact, however, that since 1899 the average increase in the price of lumber has been 9 per cent, it will not be long before cheap woods are few and far be tween.

The CYImjnal and Civil Docket of the Su perior Gourt Crowded. Lexington Dispatch, Feb. 6th. : The trustees of the Liberty In stitute at Wallburg at their meet ing last week decided to replace the burned main building of the school with IS brick structure to cost $8,000. Burglars visited three houses in West Lexington Monday night and were very bold about it. The. February term of criminal and civil court for Davidson coun ty will convene on the fourth Monday, the 24th of this month. Judge Council will preside, hay ing ' recovered sufficiently to at- ten 1 to his duties . The docket is i very heavy this court. There are cne hundred and nineteen cases on the criminal docket. Amoner n the cases that will attract at tention is the one against Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Shoaf, who are charged. 'with brutality against the little Fields girl. There are exactly 27 caljea far retailing booze. The civil docket is also crowded there being 118 cases The civil 'case that will attract the most attention is the Fulton- Mock affair, in which $50,000 damages is asked. Another dam age suit of local interest is the case of Dr. ChaB. M. Clodfelter against the West Construction Company, for $20,000 damages for personal injuries. There are 52 suits against the railroads, most of them against the Southern, and nearly all of them "in forma pauperis," and many of them from other counties, a large num ber being from Rowan, Th last case involving right of way for the Southbound has been 8ettledlBO.jfar as Davidson county ii.f concerned. Others are still periding inAnson county. McMsy riight abobt 12- o'clock fitty destroyed the Arcadia High! bchoOJLbualding, . and all that it contained . It is thought that a defective fluev caused - the ' fire. The loss is about $1,000, without a cent of insurance. Two pianos, a new one and one that was not so good, were destroyed, with all books, desks, equipment, etc. The subject of the cost of living is a very tender one with the working people of the town just now. Few people cared what meat was a pound as long as there was plenty of work and at good wages. Now that times have tightened down, and in some homes the intake is growing peril ously near the outgo, and perhaps, even whilea republican is presi dent, the outgo is the biggest, people have come to look on a dollar as a good deal bigger than it was a few's hort months ago. All of which may cause an exodus to the farms, after a long period of traveling to town from the coun try. THOMASVILLE ITEMS. , Elizabeth R. Yow. Mrs. Elizabeth R.

The following clipping from the nu' 1.1.1.- r ? -i ' vjruariubte vnrouicie ana communi cations go to show how the advo cates of whiskey take advantage of every "straw" that may come within their Teach, how good mO aan unwittingly lend them en couragement, and how careful one should guard his utterances : Religious papersas a rule preach widespread prohibition arguing for it in generalities, in which of course they are conscientious. -$X is not often that a church organ takes the following view, which is quoted from the Presbyterian Standard : The thing this paper is set to do and is devoting all of its eneivj giesm doing is afar bigger and, better thing than advocating pro hibition before the. legislature or before the suffragans of the State. Our work is confined to making good men. Just inproportion as we succeed will we have good citi zens and good citizens mean good laws about whiskey, ground peas, mineral water and every other thing. Our method is to beseech men in behalf .of Christ to be re conciled to God. That is the road we travel in reforming evils and maintaining good government. This statement will explain to all our intelligent and unprejudiced readers why we do .not use our columns to advocate the enact ment ot this and that law by our . 1 a . - State law makers in assembly." This strikes the bottom. Make good men and women and the pro hibition question will take care of itself. The old argument that morals cannot be legislated into people is correct it is a poor pol iy. toL, drive a man to dp right. And here is the proof that statm- tory prohibition is unwise.

Grimes Drug Store, BOYCOTTING UNLAWFUL Important Decisions Affecting LaboMlnlons dj me supreme court. , , The United - States Supreme Court has filed another decision of importance bearing on labor union affairs. It was in a case appealed from Kentucky and was in effect that corporations ; engag ed in inter-S$ate commerce cannot . be restrained from discharging employes because they afa mem bers ow labor unions.nor from . discriminating against them for the same reason. - Section 10 .pf - whatiajenown asthe "arbitra tion act prohibits such discrimi nation andjis, indeed, the' most important section of that act of Congress. I The court did not deal with the other sections of the act. - The case came up on an appeal, affecting the discharge of an em ploye of the Louisville & Nash ville Railroad Company by the master mechanic of the road. Justice Harlan read the opinion of the court. He held in sum ming up that there is no con- nection between inter-State- car riers and labor organizations as to make it a crime for the carriers to discharge and employ or re fuse to employ him on the ground that he belongs to a labor union. Charlotte Chronicle. According to a Washington dis patch of February 3rd, another verdict rendered was in the ease of Lawlorvs. Loewe, the former a member of the Hatters' Union and the latter a hat manufacturer of Danbury, Conn. The case in volved the applicability of the seventh section of the Sherman anti-trust law to conspiracies by labor unions to boycott articles entering into inter-State trade. Under the terms of that provi sion the complaining party may collect three times amount of his loss if the chargers sustained. The union fought the case on the ground that the law inapplicable toKWCh-relmization but eort, : whose - opinion was: an. failed, to accept this ieaiid nit ffect heldihatvthev anions could not ipitmiS. igtirfrejjby " boycott.;. with thef ree exchange of commerce betwenr the -States.

"I'll bet none of you folks know that the biggest man thajb eer lived was born and raised in North Carolina," said a- tar heel at the Hdffirian House the other night. "His existence and di mensions are vouched fof in the American Encyclopaedia says the New York Press. "His name was Miles Darden. He was seven feet, six inches high and in 1845 weighed 871 pounds. He was born in North Carolina in 1798 and died in Tennessee , Jan uary. 23, 1857. Until 1853 he was able to -go about his work in an active manner, but his weight in- creased so fast that after that year wnen ne wanted to move about he had to bes hauled in a two-horse wagon. In 1839 it was chronicled that his coat was but toned around three men each weighing more than 200 pounds, who walked together down the streets of Lexington, N. C. Atw his death iie is said to nave weigh ed net less than 1,000 pounds. His coffin was 8 feet long, Synches' deep, 82 inches across the breast, 18 across the head, and 14 across the feet.
