“They are implements found In

At the Operas Honre.
A large and appreciative audience
were out at the opera house Monday ev
ening. The ccenio display was very fine.
The following scenes were shown:
“Ocean,” “Kitchen,” “Rocky Paso,”
“Plain Chamber,” “Dark Woods,**
“Garden” and “Grand Palace.” Mr.
Gunn showed both skill and taste in
presenting these views of the mimio
world to the audience, the latter show
ing its appreciation by frequent ap
plause as the curtain would roll up dis
playing the artistic scenes.
Music was interspersed between the
acenea, by Prof. Baldwin, Miss Ida
Bndl, Miss Bessie Fearn and Messrs.
Ed and George Fearn. This is to say
that the music was good. The play
ing of little Beesie Fearn on the violin
was very sweet.
The feature of the evening was the
address of the Hoo. William M. Ham
mond. It was chaste, soholary, classic
al and ornate, and was listened to
throughout by the large audience with
the closest attention. The address, in
fall, will appear in tho Tiyi&.

of all present for a delightful evening.

WhyHstPlant Pecan Tree*.
It is rather remarkable that so few
pecan trees have been planted in
this locality. They arc very profit
able. It is true that they are of
rather slow growth, but when they
begin to bear they soon yield a crop
that pays handsomely. The crop is
an almost certain one, and steadily
increases year alter year.
The dimate and soil in this part of
the south are suitable for their growth
and besides their trait they make a
very handsome shade tree. Indeed,
there are few trees that make so
handsome an adornment for a coun
try residence. They are valuable,
therefore, tor ornament as well as for
revenue.
The period from seed to bearing
about seventeen years, but if trans
planted at the end of one year, and
the top root is shortened, the tree
will bear in about eleven years.
Hon. W. W. Gordon has some
fine specimens of the tree on his
farm on the Thunderbolt road. The
nuts gathered from them this year
are excellent. They are equal in
size to those grown in Texas, and
are worth in this market about $4 a
bushel. Dr. Read has some fine
trees on his rice plantation on the
Augusta road. There are nearly
100 trees jn his grove, and if they
are not now bearing fruit they soon
will be. The grove is very valuable,
and its value will continue to increase
for many years. The doctor showed
wisdom in planting it.—News.
Judge Hansell has an eight year
old tree which bore this year. Mr.
C Mitchell has about twenty
acres in pecans which are now about
ten years old. They will be very
valuable, when in full bearing. The
pecan appears to be peculiarly adapt-
to this section, and it should be
more generally cultivated.

A Railroad to Eartpe.
The sensation of the day is the pro
jected trans-continental railroad from
America to Europe. The route, which
is practically all rail, b only 14,000
miles from New York to London.
This is the way it runs: From the
terminus of one of our Pecifio roads, a
sail line is proposed through Alaska,
thence Northwestward to the narrowest
part of Behring strait. Scarcely more
than ten miles wide, a duster oi islands
dot this strait, and a rail line could be
built across on a series of bridges.
Now, having landed on the chorea of
Siberia, a railway across the Russian
territories would connect with existing
lines all European continental coun
tries. Of course, tbe ferry over the
British channel must be used tc cross
from Dover to Calais.
It is a fact that the Cxir of Russia
has authorised the building of a raff-
roai to develop the wheat, fur and
timber trade of Siberia. It will be
pirt of this fine which most be utilised
the Russo-American scheme. Of
eonrse the project 11 a mighty one. It
will require an immense outpouring of
money end an army of men. The
problems of engineering would proba
bly not be too greet to overcome.
There are 7,500 miles to build from
the United States to the junction of the
European lines, apportioned as follows:

There is a pine straw industry at
Cronly, N. C., which is proceeding
very successfully to make this fabric.
A correspondent in Sarcoxie, Mo.,
writes to the Evening Post, of New
York, with respect to pine straw as fol
lows’:
The leaves of the pine have been
used and are used in Germany as
material for the preparation of a tex
tile fibre, and factories of that kind
existed there before 1878. The in
dustry is, therelore, a new one only
this country, and the factory at
Cronly, N. C, is not the only one of
kind in the world. The material
called in Germany “waldwolle
(forest wool), also pincwool. It is
worked into different fabrics ; mixed
with wool, it is woven into a hygienic
flannel which is used to some extent,
the aromatic pine odor that ad
heres to it is supposed to be benefi
cial in rheumatic affections especially.
As by product in the manufacturing
of textile material, the pine leaf ex
tract and the pine leaf oil are obtain
ed, both are used for medicinal pur
poses.
Total vet to be constructed 7.500
Tbit looks like a tremendous length
of line to build, aaya the Railway Age,
and yet about an equal amount, of rail
way mileage will probably have been
built in the year 1888 in the Uaited
States alone, and in one year almost
double that mileage was constructed;

No Southern member should have

The bill was opposed by Demo
crats in the house on the ground
that it was unconstitutional, as the
tax had been levied in accordance
with the provisions of the constitu
tion. If Mr. Cleveland believes that
tbe bill is unconstitutional he will, of
course, use the veto power. If the

Re** Up th« Battle.
In view of the fact that more than
5.300,000 rotes cam their ballots for
Cleveland and Thurman—nearly or
quite 100,000 more than voted for
1 Unison and Morton—why should
democrats give up the battle for tax
reduction and tariff reform? And
why should not republicans, if they
really respect tbe will of the majority,
temper their legislation with com
promise in deference to, popular de
mand?—Ex.
On election day, a lot of females,
as tbe New York Scar properly calls
them, drove to various voting places
in New York dty and harangued tbe
voters in tbe most excited manner.

What Harrison** fart) Wan to.
Though he will be a minority Pres
ident, Mr. Harrison will not, for that
reason, be any the less I’residcnt ol
the party which gave him, and bought
for him, a majority to the electoral
college. That party will expect him
to make the “sweep” just as clean,
to reward the active partisan and
favor the faithful worker just as gen
erously as though the popularplorati-
ty had been on his side; and the
beoeficiarics of tariff trusts will not
be less forward to pres* upon bun
their personal views concerning duties
on imports.—New York Times.
