WAKE COCKTT PKACIIKB AND RBLOII Until wkMn a few years Rakish "wms largely dependent upon California for very fine peaches, and to some .extent some of this fruit from that far-off State rtill fads a market here. But of late Southern Pines, under the intelligent ef forts of Mr. J. Van lindley. having de veloped into as fine a peach-growing country as California or Georgia or Dela ware, has been supplying the Raleigh market. "We hare thought often that Wake county could produce this fruit equal to any section and believed ihat some good farmer would demonstrate the fact sooner or later. Yesterday we had an illustration of the troth of our belief in old Wake. Our good friend Mr. W. W. Jenkins, whose farm home is near Wake Forest, sent ns some specimens of the peaches which he tow raies and ia Jie. flavor and other attractiotrs they are the equals of any w hare seen from the other places mentioned. Mr. Jen kins has proven the adaptability of Wake soil, certainly of the section a boat Wake Forest, for the successful cultivation of .the peach, for which there is always a good market, with present facilities for reaching any point in the Union, and we hope that not only himself, but others, will give rreater attention to this branch of farming. We regret Mr. Jenkins failed to mention the varieties, but they are certainly luscious to th taste and beautiful to look npon. And as to mrJons, oM Wake has al ready won her spurs, o to speak, in this department, as the quantities which daily come to this market and the carloads shipped to other points in and ont of the State 'prove. But It was our friend Chief of Police Mnllins who took occasion yesterday to illustrate what Wake was doing in this line In the shape of a magnificent 50-pound melon with which &e complimented The Post. Melons weighing from 23 to 40 pounds are a common eight' on our market, but the Chief wanted Th Tost to know that CO-pounders and even larger are just as easy to handle as the others. In making acknowledgments to good friends for their remembrances, it gives C3 occasion to call attention to the splen did possibilities of this county and sec tion for the successful and profitable cul tivation of the finest fruits, and no fruit Is more generally popuar, nor Is there any more easily and safely transport able than peaches of select varieties and watermelons of fine size and flavor. We. Jhank both gentlemen for their kindness and the opportunity given us to adorn a tale with real facts. . . .v - vni Af otherwise of (St oi tas auiiauiu any beverage for those of arthritic ten dencies, .either Inherited or acquired, js that of experience whether it produces in such subjects an attack of-articular gout or other gouty manifestations, ani In many cases this test is a very ar eata one. anr indulgence being frequent ly followed" by some disturbance reco : vi - vfit v tna nnc rni n"v - UlHUie uwiu j a nractltioner as the result. Judged by t2s standard, it may b stated that; though as a general rule th gouty are better without alcoholic liquors, yet ordinary "rough" cider, fui ly fermented and free from sugar. practically harmless, having little or no tendency to excite an attack of gouti. The percentage of alcohol is small anl the acidity is chiefly due to malic acid. which is in the body converted into al kaline carbonates and excreted as such. and cider has not therefore the lnju rious effects in gour of the eweet and highly alcoholic wines On the other hand, partially fermented "sweet cider or the artificially sweet ened and aerated variety, "champagne elder," may excite gouty-manifestations in these liaWe or predisposed to the disease, and should therefore be prohib ited. Unfortunately, the rough c:der in to roost people less palatable than the sweet variety, and especially to the gouty, who are In many cases fond of sweet foods and beverages." "Kough cider" Is much more agrees ble, and Democratic, than a sore toe ennrht br mixlnr Dlutocratic habits wtth Populrstie principuls. If "Rough Cider" wi?l cure the habit or kill the other then we commend it to our gout afflicted eotemporary. ; Oiiba Is In need of revenue and must bare fit.

The increase in the, value of farm products is attributable in good measure to a larger and more judicious use of commercial fertilizers, and! improved farm implements and ma chinery, thus supplying1 a Joss otherwise resulting from irregular or unreliable labor. -4- Senator Hanna declares that his am bition in life has been to wia the affec tion of his employees and make money, lie has succeeded in making the money, but his employees seem tcj- be aston ished that his affection-winning object was not disco'rerable earlier. They are frank enough to admit that during late campaign years such manifestations have been a leetle warm. The Senator thinks that if he can succeed in bur- roughing down right into the heart of the affectlone of his men ' then capital and labor will be united for sure. "Dxtgajxiac In Eastern Europe seems to have fallen on a new v of prosperi ty, or the hope of it. Besides the cases of kidnapping in Albania, we read of four sods of wealthy Bumarjan families being seized and held for rausonu In Greece arso the reports speak of a dis tinct revival of this kind crmie." And his tate of affairs the NVw York Drentog Post fears is attributable to he payment of 'the ransom for Miss ixre," awl that paper adds, "The great coup which her kidnappers effect ed was like the drawing of rli grand prize in the lottery. It set all their neighbors wild to rival their good for rune. This result was. of coarse, era diated at the time the money was bctog raised to free Miss Stone. - It was the most fcumOTie of impulses, no doubt, which led to the efforts for her release, but wo now see that her Tescue meant the capture of many others." -Since the failure, of Miss Stone's lec ture acheme in this country we are dis posed to forgive the "humane impulses" which rescued her.

The loss of last year wtill be more than made up, ana, waai w qime as encouraging, prices are and no doubt will continue good. Out farmers, however, need not think they have a monopoly of rejofolng over tCii3 condition of affairs. They bare friends o'lhfirwfse ensragtd who are in full sympary wfth them dn all the suc cess they can have. . It was announced some days ago that an experiment in South Africa with cotton raising had proven that the sta ple could be raised equal in fibre and far more cheaply than in the United States. Philadelphia capitalists are now preparing to try a similar experiment in Cuba. Our Southern cotton as yet has had no Tival.

The radt madorfty are bona into a 'Vale of tears." Tlhey are consftumfcedi by a hard, cold wortd, where It Is 4TOOt hog, or d5e." Obvftwsly, the first 5aty of the natural protectors of a child or pig is to teach bins how 0 "coot" with Wie least possible warite of energy and opportu-' uflty.' Als to Shouts, ia the plmey-woods eectSons at least, where he pftg-fmothe is most free to follow (the dictates of sense and mature, the education is com ma U fault. It lis amazin'gly euccesfu3. It is a ipity that the same cannot be said of the boys amdi girls. The children of farmers hare the spelling book cramed down theJr (throats. They cam ""bound" the desert of 'Sahara as easily as their Impoverished parentts can bound their ruined fields. They know much of the dotogs of ruffian kings Ions dead, but notb&nig of the nature of the plants that grow about them, or the why and .wherefore of crop-making. After some eight or ten years of ex pensive "eJucatdon of tfeis kind 1jhe boys are turned, out not merely ineffi cient in !the cinfc by which alone they can coake n honest Kvang, but too often, they are complete shirks. They Stave got be yond manual labor, and want to go into jpolkics, where living is easier, if not more horror able. In. the meanti me The burden of ifcaxattion is becomong each year more heary, antJ the working1 farmer finds it more and more difflcuGt to keep Ms head above waiter. Yet the cry of tbe schtcol . teacher is for more literary teaching and more taxes to support it. There is no mfore just crDterioin of any method' than its results. For over thir ty yeairs northern philanthropy has dot ted the southern dtaites wtth aiegro Kter ary schools The resruJt Is that reading amd writing is a common acoojmpilSsh ment amonig the yountger generation of nejrroes. But' these same educated: ne- groes are for any useful purpose for all That goes to make men respectattie ana valuable members of society far infe rior to thjir unaettered but practically trained pareurtjs. By its fruits we must iud2e the tree of knowledge. The fruits of these schools are notoriously the in dustrial amd physical degeuieraJtion of the neffro race. - In dlscusstog my paiper on "Farm Training iSchoors" the iSouthera Farm Ma'gari-ne- repeats the objectftJO that under tfbe social condStioms of "hhe south, rrat one, .bub two buco, schools will be needed in ea'ch county. I wiU go the editor a few better, and say that not two, butt half a' dozen such sdhoois will pay handsomely ia every -popukyua agri cukuTal county. A vital point to the rartigemnt of such schools is tflre ability of the teacher to g4re personal attention to each pupM. PractScal arts caaanoi be taught by lec tures aSome in large classes. The best type of French farm school restricts its numbers to less than 100 pupikr. One school is, (however, ufflcient to prove the value of the system, which was all for whiich I have argued. The French ecT-iooCs usually have five teachers, each i teacher taking-one subject. The foBow- iug is a sample curriculum:: ' 1. PJamt-jriow-lnte end general farm technique. 2. Animal husbamdry and dairytn-g. 3. " Ilumact and anfimal physiology.. c.mnle veterinary practice. 4. lUeimentary carpentry, bSacksmlth inj and horsehfenwg. Care and repair of farm too;. 5. Eucmenirary arTthmetic, accouns, Slstoxy and gwgraphy, cttlrenship and nioraSty. " In addiltion to the above ,rhe French governmen't requires in every school military drill aind supplies a sergeant who teaches lK3ieTsaup and' what in elegant society ts denominated "deport ment," The French farm schools are not free. The anmonal fees "for tution board and Sodgtns amount to about $200 per pupil. The govercment provides in each school a few free sdholarsMpsy and malmtains a ptrlct euipen-ision over the schools by means of frequent rosectdoos by a staff of prefesaamal Inspectors of agricul- tnre." The patronage of the French, schools comea chiefly fironn the peasant proprie tors of the soil. The pupils, for- the most part, after completing the course, return ro the paternal homestead and carry on the economical amcL consider ing the heaTy burden of taxation, mar velously successful agriculture of France. The Lack of pinactS-csiBnes? and paucfty of results so justly charged against our American a grucul'tirral colleges is never brought a-gatnst the French farm schools, j TiSa class of sdhools Is urgenrdy need ed tn the United States, but nowhere so greatly as n the southern state.' "The state which once adopts this plan will surely never give it up. Th question wT coot is not Avorthy of cottsideration, since St ia cheaper rtw have these schoote than to do without: them. The Joss an nually "caused by mefflcienit labor is at least fifty times as great as the cost of the schools. Tjet the taxpay&irg ffarmeis of a coun ty meet together and' resolve that a fair proportkev of the educatfctomal fund of the county raised co largely by taxation on f awn Talues shall be used to furnish Draetlcal and useful agricultural train ing to their chlMren. and) the, children of their laborers.
