The new sash is similar to an or dinary sash except that the glass can Ik; taken out and repaired at will. There is no putty or other material of that kind used, and new glass can be replaced when breaks occur without removing the sash from the window frame. The new sash is a great improve ment in many ways over the kind now used and Mr. Sigmon hopes to arrange to have them on the market at an early date. Bi Potatoes. Editor News, I ) I : A K SlK: 1 am sending you a "meal" of my Irish Potatoes. 1 have just Orchard Demonstration. The demonstration, how to gathj er. and pack apples, made by Prof. Hutt, of the Agricultural depart meit, at Mr. J. A. Dula's farm recently was witnessed by only a few persons. The information given as to the proper handling of apples was of much valne and the process should have been witness ed by everybody interested in the growing and marketing of fruit. It seems passing strange that the farmers and fruit growers of the county do not care enough about improving their methods of handling apples, to even go and witness a free object lesson on the subject. Why they will be con tent to continue to market fine ap ples without any attention to sort ing and grading and thus continue to get the lowest prices, while good money is going to New York and other states for apples not so line, but properly handled and market ed, is a problem we cannot solve. The visit of Mr. Hutt was made to help them out of these shiftless ays and they are too indifferent on the subject to even meet him ndsee what he had to offer them alolutely free. The few who did attend the demonstration were well epaid for their time and no doubt will profit by his advice to some extent. We are told that the re ults oi spraying done on some trees in Mr. Dula s orchard are worth going1 miles to see and right now is the time to see them.

Jenkins, the manager of the South ern Cotton Oil Company at this place, received a letter Saturday notifying him that if he continued to gin cotton in the face of the de clining market night-riders would burn his gin. Not knowing wheth er this notice was genuine or a hoax, he requested local papers to make no publication until he could submit it to the Charlotte office of his company. In the meantime he has instructed his night watchman to shoot any person found around the premises at night. The origi nal letter was sent to the Charlotte office and only two or three of Mr. Jenkins' intimate friends were in formed of its receipt. Under this situation less than a doen people of this place have any information or knowledge of the matter and Mr. Jenkins, when approached about it, stated that he had noth ing to give out as he had referred same to Charlotte office. No other ginner of this section has received such notice so far as can he learn ed and there is a difference of opinion among the few who have heard of the notice received by Mr. Jenkins. Some think it to be genuine, while others think that possibly it is the work of some per sonal enemy. Q.W.F. HARPER, Pres. J.lf. BEALL. Csiblcr. W.A.

'23 Enemies of the white plague from every civilized nation of the earth and from every Btate of the Union as sembled in Washington to begin world-wide warlare that is ex pected eventually to result in the wiping out of the terrible scourge of humanity. The fifth Interna tional Congress on Tuberculosis, convened today, represents beyond all doubt the largest aggregation of scientific and educated humanitar ians ever gathered in a single city Backed by the medical and socio logical science of the age; with un limited funds at its disposal and definite object in view, it seems hardly possible that the congress can fail of attaining its end. The convention opened to-day, to last until October 12, will likely be an historical event and will beremem bered when other more spectacular events are forgotten . More Maniacal Murder.

The cities of Gaen and V oodboro were destroyed by forest fires yes terday. The fire started in the woods yesterday and when it reached Gagen and V oodboro the same day men, women and chil dren fought valiently to save their homes, but without avail.

Women carrying children iu their arms, and men and boys with packs on their backs, ran toward Rhinelad er, many falling prostrate on ac count of the heat, only to be help ed on by the stronger refugees.
