great innnv. Inereuaing and more
intelligent lit tent ion is being given
each year to the planting anil cul

nianeiit and increasing annual
value of the tree is realized. Ex
perimental stages are past, and
the outlook tor the industry is
brighter than ever. The demand
for fine nuts for table and confec
tionery purposes is constant, and
tlie supply of fine nuts is entirely
inadequate. They are easy to
market, as they can always be
hold for a high price.
The trees will grew and hear on
many kinds of soil, and adapt
themselves to ninny conditions.
There is a great difference in the
quality and market value of the
pecan nut; some are small, thick
shelled, and of poor quality; tin*
best nuts are from medium to
largo size, with thin shells, well
filled, of good keeping quality
and of delicious flavor. The aver
nge yield per tree the fifth year
fromjtraiispluiitation may run to
ten pounds, the sixth year to fif
teen pounds, the seventh year (~
twenty-five pounds and over until

when a yield of from fifl to 160
pounds mav reasonably he assum

cents per pound and upwards. Se
lected specimens are sold for
planting at prices ranging from
50 cents to per pound.

PHONETIC SPELLING THE THING.
The advocates df phonetic spill
ing may he interested in knowing
that Uncle Sam has it already in
n portiou of his domain. The Ha
waiian is a phonetic language;
based upon the continental pron
unciation of its vowels It is
beautifully simple, as we all know
from wrestling with tire name of
the former queen, easy to spell
and easy to pronounce. From a
list of ‘'common” words printed j
in the official programme of the
outing of the Southern California
Editorial association wo learn
that the word for editor is “lunu
hooponopono,” from which you
may judge what u big man the
editor is in thoec hi eased isles.
Just imagine what u colossus he
would l»e if the word were spelled
according to our antiquated com

At lantu Constltution :—A social
philosopher has figured it out that
the three stages of modern exis
tence are “matrimony, acrimony
and alimony.”
Turner County 1 burner: —There
are men who expect an editor to
slave, day after day and week af

advocate their views and interest
against the strongest opposition,!
and then coolly withhold t he busi

CONDENSED STORIES.
Young Soldier Lost His Bearings In
First Engagement.
At the Army and Navy club in
Washington a number of veteran
officers were telling stories, says j
Harper’* Weekly, when General
Chaffee told this an< -dote of Gen
eral Carr, who died • New York
gome year* ago:
It appears that General Carr, at
the outbreak of the civil war, had
left Troy to take command of a
regiment. The enga cment in
which, tis colonel, he first figured

"THEY ABE KlItlNO UPON MY KEOIMKNT.
WH3 at Big Bethel. llis regiment j
had been halted for a rest and re
freshment in a pleasant place and
had not yet experienced the excite
ment of a skirmish. It happened,
however, that Confederates were in
ambush in the immediate neighbor- ;
hood, and from a safe hiding place !
they opened fire on the northerners.
Carr, so the story runs, instantly j
put spurs to his horse and dashed up j
to a group of officers. Excitement j
and bewilderment were apparent j
upon his young face as he approach- i
ed the party.
“They are firing upon ray regi
ment!” he shouted. “My God! Now
what is to he done?”
Going Too Far Back.
John F. O’Brien, New York’s sec
retary of state, familiarly known in i
Albany as “Thousand Legged John” |
because of the facility with which j
he wends his w ay amid the RcpubH- |
can factions of the stale, has many ;
Krench-Canadians in his bailiwick, |
Clinton county. It is related that
Mr. O’Brien recently used one of his i
l’rench-Canadian constituents as a i
messenger to carry a letter. The
recipient of the letter quizzically \
asked the Canuck who sent the let
ter.
“John F. O'Brien,” was the reply,
delivered with great importance.
“But who is John F. O’Brien?”
“You not know John F. O'Brien? j;
He verv big man!”
“How big is lie?”
“John F. O’Brien is biggest
man!”
“Is he bigger than Governor
Odell ?”
“Oh, yes, John F. O’Brien bigger j
than Odell.” 1
“Is he bigger than President 1
Roosevel t ?”
“Indeed, yes, John F. O’Brien !
bigger than Roosevelt.”
“Is lie bigger than Lafayette?”
The Canuck scratched his tousled!
head, was puzzled for a moment, his
face brightened and he replied:
“Well, you see John F. O’Brien is
a very young man yet!”—New York
Sun.
Time on the Wing.
Justice Brewer of the United
States supreme court in lecturing
to his law class at the George Wash
ington university told the follow
ing storv:
• *
"1 knew of a ease once where 1
two darkies swapped mules. One of !
them was an old hand at the busi
ness, and in making the trade he
represented his mule to be seven
years old and told of many good
trait* the animal had not. This was
in February. About two months
later the other darky began to real
ize that he had been victimized in
tlie bargaiu and that the beast was
fully twelve years old. So he de
cided to go back and tell the swin
dler he had lied to him about the
animal.' However, owing to it being
the busy reason of farming he was
not able to go until about the mid
dle of June. He finally did go and
told his man what he thought of
his rascally misrepresentations about
the mule.
“You say," said the other fellow,
“dat when you got de mule in Feb
ruary he was seven years old. and
now it’s June and he’s twelve Years
old ?”
"Yes, 1 do!” was the angry re
sponse.
“Well, «ah, time sure do fly."
