WIIXZAK H. BEBZTABD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Saturday Morhiito. Not. 29 THE PZCAH IS SOUTH CARO- IIHA. ! We. hare had something to say from time to time in these columns on pecan culture as a promising ad dition to the industry of the farm ; in this State. These articles at tracted attention, elicited considera ble inquiry and resulted in the plant ing of some trees, and in one in stance that we know of a large tract. Whether they are thriving or prom ising we do not know, but presume they are, for there is no good rea san why they should not, if properly cared for. Texas issthe great pecan-growing State of the country, although the tree is found growing wild or culti vated, principally wild, from Texas to Missouri, and in all the States South of Missouri bordering on the Mississippi river; but more attention has been given to the growing in Texas than in any other State, and .hence it produces the greatest crop and the most yaluble commercially. The bulk of it goes to St. Louis, which is the distributing center, and which offers a market for all the commercial nuts that can be fur nished. There are establishments there which handle hundreds of bushels daily and hundreds of tons in the course of a year. It is the nut market and nut shipping city of the country. The next pecan growing State to Texas is Mississippi where the in dustry, although not approaching that of Texas in proportions, is flourishing and growing, attention being given principally te growing large and fine nuts, which command a high price on account of their ex cellence. Some of the planters in this State have procured young trees and seed of these varieties from Mississippi nurseries, which was the sensible thing to do, for it costs no more in money, labor nor time to grow a tree of the finest variety, than it does one of the inferior kind. It seems that the industry is mak ing progress in South Carolina, too, where we have no doubt, judging from the encouraging reports, it will continue to make progress. Some time ago the Charleston Neics and Courier mentioned some nuts grown in Orangeburg county which brought some samples grown in another coun ty, -which suggested the following editorial: "Our comments on the Orangeburg product attracted the attention of Mr. J. G. Lege, of Charleston, who brought to the Newt and Courier office on Sat urday, for inspection, a box of speci mens of the same nut grown in bis twenty-acre grore at Green Pond, in Colleton county. They are whoppers, being nearlyOwiee as large as their Orangeburg cousins. Measurement showed them to be fully an inch and a half long and nearly an inch through or tUck-, making their bulk about equiT alent to that of a large English walnut, and they are as full of "meal" as an egr. The quality of the meat, more erer, is claimed to be as good as the beat of its kind, notwithstanding the large size of the nut. The shells proved on experiment to be extremely thin and easily frangible, as, by taking two of them together, they could be crush ed, not merely "cracked," by pressure in the hand, which is, of course, a nota ble point in their favor. A fair idea of their size and weight is afforded perhaps by the statement that they "run SO to the pound,"which makes them average a little more than a half-ounce each. Mr. Lege kindly supplies a number of particulars regarding his fruit, which cannot fall . to interest many persons. The nuts were gathered from trees of the "Columbia," paper-shell, variety, which were obtained from a nursery in Mississippi, and are eight years old; seven years from the time of transplanting in this grove. He sells all the nuts the grove produces at the price of a dollar a pound, or three cents apiece, and cannot nearly supply the demand for them they are wanted for planting purposes, by men who are impressed with the value of trees which bear such fruit and afford such interest on their cost. He could sell them, he says, "by the ton, at 25 cents a pound, wholesale, in the open market, for table purposes;" and there would be a fair profit on them even at only 25 cents a pound. He has a standing bid for them at that price, which, of course, he cannot consider. It is not to be understood, however, in view of these suggestive facts and figures, that the fruit costs nothing or can be produced without trouble by any man who elects to grow it Mr. Lege is instructive on this point, which is the s ubject of general mis apprehension. He has found, he says, that the old idea- that planting pecan trees In any old field and then leav ing them to take care of themselves is a mistake and means failure. "They need cultivation, fertilizing and intel ligent dJrectjQi aa much as any other fruit trees." . They also have "many enemies," the caterpillar being one of the worst of them, and requiring to be watched and fought most zealously. The "borer" Is another. It attacks the young tree, which it penetrates near the root, and ravages at its leis ure, if not found and killed. As it works out of sight, it can inflict great in jury before its presence is discover ed. It destroyed many young trees in Mr. Lego's orchard. Whether it attacks older orchards he does not know. He has h'rd nearly everything to learn by personal observation and experience, he saysi as he has found no book or other publication to spare him that necessity. Any enterprising man in the State may profit by his experience in all re flects. The pecan tree is at its best in the State, and especially in the low country aa has been well established. A grove can be planted almost any- Z. .1 my "ght Into bearing in eight years: and will "pay"hand-Jwfc-, depends It toe care and attention It requires.

Assuming that there is no exag geration in the statements of Mr. Lege, as made to the Netos and Courier, there is evidently a large margin for profit even at the lowest price named, with the additional in ducement of the small expense at tending the establishment of groves, fewer chances taken on failures, and the little labor required in cultiva tion, harvesting, etc, while other crops that do not bear any compari son in the way of remuneration cost money and much labor. But we re produce this article from the Netos and Courier, more especially for the reason that it gives information as to the culture and care of the young trees which may be of interest and value to those who have planted trees or may contemplate doing so. There ought to be thousands of acres of them in Eastern North Carolina. COHFEONTINQ XORTHE&X CITIES. Some Northern cities are con fronted by the race problem, and will find themselves wrestling with it in the near future. In the cities of Boston, New York and Philadel phia, the paperB have been discuss ing it for some time. But it has become a subject of discussion in Borne of the churches, too. At a recent missionary convention of the Methodist church of Philadelphia Rev, H. A. Monroe, a negro preach er, thus referred to the present and prospective discouraging outlook: "Our cities are being choked up with great masses of these unkempt, unlearned, unskilled and often un manageable people In two dncades Pniladelphia has gone from tenth to second ploce in its negro population. 8he threatens to outstrip New Or leans. There are 70,000 negroes here. There are only forty-seven churches to accommodate them, with room for 20,000. The other 50,000 are crowded out, and could not go to church if they would. "There are two discouraging fields confronting missionary work among the negroes of this city. First, there is no room for them In the churcb. Second, it is doubtful if the majority of them would go. There is an im perative need for practical workers among them." This is not a white man, but a negro talking, a negro who seems to have as much aversion to the kind that compose the bulk of the negro influx as the white people have, and with quite as much rea son too, for those negroes bring discredit upon the race, intensify the prejudice against it, and make it more difficult for the better and well behaved negroes to secure re cognition and win the confidence of white people amongst whom they are thrown. If the 70,000 now in Philadelphia, composed largely of the "un kempt, unlearned, unskilled and often nnmanageble people" are a cause of concern both to the white and to the better class of colored people what will they be a few years hence, when their num ber will be largely increased by the flow from the South, for the ambi tion of the average restless negro is to "go North," where many of them think they can live on the fat of the land. They discover their mistake after they get there, find them selves crowded out of occupations that would be open to them in the South and become loafers and a nuisance. But it is an ill wind that blows no good, and the North is learning a good deal about the negro, individually and collectively, that it didn't know. Mr. John S. Wise, attorney at law, formerly of Virginia, but now of New York, has struck on a great scheme. He advices the negroes who were refused registration un der the new constitution to sue the registrars, the members of the con stitutional convention, the district judges and the governor, individual ly and collectively, for $5,000 dam ages. There will be more money in that scheme for the lawyers than for their clients. But who before ever valued a darkey's vote at $5,000? There is little probability of low priced coal in New York or any of the North Atlantic cities this Win ter. There is a shortage now in all the principal cities. New York con sumes an average of 32,000 tons a day, more than is now going into that city, and yet the settlement between the mine operators and the miners hangs fire, because the operators backed down from their own. propo sition. Pension Commissioner Ware has struck on a new plan for encour aging the employes in his depart ment to blow in their earnings. Here commends that 500 of his clerks who are no longer fit for service be pen sioned and retired. That must be a shackly old department with 500 clerks unfit for service. Bnt why are they kept if unfit for service? Is the pension office an alms house? There must be a surplus of prunes in St. Louis, which has just shipped 35,000 pounds to the Indians. . , For La Grippe and In fluenza use CHENEY'S EXPEOTOB&NT. For aale by 3. C. rmeparo. DODOnrO BEHIHD "PB08PB" 1TY" There is considerable difference of opinion among Bepublican 'states men on the question of tariff revi sion, some of them, especially those from the West, contending that their people demand revision, while others, especially from the East, are dead against it. Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, is one of these, Sena tor Scott, of West Virginia, another, Senator Hanna, of Ohio, another, and Senator Frye, of Maine, an other, all strong men in the Senate. Senator Frye, in a recent inter view in Washington, is quoted as saying that talk of "tariff revision is absurd." The country is. prosper ous, he says, and to touch the tariff would disturb business and destroy our prosperity. What rot! What a thin pretence to perpetuate a tariff, many schedules in which it is said are unreasonably high and were made so with the express view to re ducing them later on, and some of which are in the tariff whioh it was not intended should remain in. Even these Mr. Frye would not touch because it would endanger our pros perity. The logical inference from this is that the tariff, no matter how un reasonable or how oppressive it may be, must now be touohed while the country is prosperous, but we must wait to do revising until industrial depression comes and adversity smites us. In other words the time to reduce duties is when the in come of our manufacturers is so re duced that they are no longer pros perous, then take off some more of their income. This is what this pros perity plea leads to, and this is much more absurd than this "talk of tariff revision." But if adversity were to come these sameianti-revisionists would be heard exclaiming, if tariff revision were proposed, "what would you do ? Would you kill our manufactories outright by depriving them of the tariff protection they have and put our workmen face to face with the competition of the "pauper labor of Europe ?" They are Bimply pulling with the protected and are going to stand by them prosperity or no pros perity. This prosperity plea is all a dodge, and a very thin one. CURRENT COMMENT. The beef packing trust has collapsed, so they say, but up to date the beef packers' high prices for their packing have presented no indications of a collapse. Richmond Leader, Bern. Ii Mr. Wise's universal suit proposition takes with the negroes there will be good pickings for the marshals and other officers of the United States courts in the matter of preliminary foes, provided the negroes can stand the picking, but we doubt if many of them will come to time when the officers get the picking apparatus in working order. Norfolk Ledger, Dem. The growth of Socialism in this country undoubtedly is due to the increase of plutocracy and mo nopoly. It is a natural result of the growing belief that great aggre- gations of wealth, powerful corpora tions with special privileges, trusts, and monopolies have acquired a power which is inimical to the liber ties and rights of the people, and that the government does not re strain these influences and agencies within proper limitations of law. Atlanta Journal, Dem. Leroy Templeton, one of the greatest cattle raisers of Indiana, says the cattle business is being ruined by the beef trust, and that he has been compelled to cut down his operations fully one-half during the past few years. He is now rais ing fewer cattle than for ten years. "They tell us," says Mr. Temple ton, "that the present contemplated combination of the packers will fin ally work out for the benefit of the people. We had just as well think of a combination of wolves in a forest in the interest of the sheep indus try." The illustration is an apt one. Savannah News, Dem. Disastrous Wrecks.

Wine of Cardui is better than any doctor or any other medicine fcr suffering women. Its healing properties are certainly most remarkable. I suffered for three months with suppressed menstruation about two years ago. I began by losing my general good health, lost my appetite and sleep and became nervous and easily exhausted. My menses which had been scanty for some time stopped altogether and shooting pains through the abdomen and back with headache and a general oppressed feeling was what I experienced daily and was unable to continue my work. Medicine failed to relieve me until a friend suggested Wine of Cardui and I bought a bottle to try it. The first bottle relieved me so much that I felt much encouraged. I continued the treatment for five weeks and to my great joy found at the end of that time that I was well and strong, menstruated regularly without pain, in fact felt better than I had for years. I certainly bless your medicine and recommend it to all my friends, some of whom have been helped wonderfully through its use. MENSTRUATION should occur every twenty-eight days. Dan gerous diseases and pain ful suffering come from irregular menses. Too much attention can not be given this particular. If the menses are too frequent your life blood is ebbing away; if they, do not occur every month your whole system is being poisoned with the refuse that should escape. Too many women like Mrs. Moore be come invalids because they neglect to give the monthly function suf ficient attention. Besides being the forerunner of female weakness, ir regular menstruation weakens the blood, destroys the vitality and wrecks the nervous system. Do not invite dangerous sickness or death They Didn't Interfere. Governor Bob Taylor of Tennessee had a heart as tender as a woman, and the way he pardoned out convicts was something awful. He was waited upon by a committee of the legislature, who very flatly and in no uncertain way told him that this "wholesale pardon ing must stop." "Gov'ner Bob" looked at the commit tee, tapped a bell, asked for fcis pardon clerk and when he came said: "Make out pardons for every man in the penitentiary." The clerk bowed and withdrew. Then the governor looked at the committee, who were staring as If they thought he was going mad. "Gentlemen," he said finally, "I am governor of Tennessee, and if this com mittee or any other ever again seeks to interfere with my constitutional right to pardon I'll sign every one of those pardons which the clerk is making out.
