Up to the time the News went to press this week two young ladies bad iieen entered in the News’ piano contest by their friends. The vote for the two stands as follows: Miss Bessie Kirby, of Newnan, 400 votes. Miss Jewel Faver, of Newnan, 400 votes. iL We never hear a man boasting about being self-made but what we wish that he had put on tome fin ishing tnricV*. prices averaging 10 cents for the two years combined yield, there is certainly no good reason why cot ton should now sell for less than 10 cents, and every good aud un deniable reason why it should firing at least 10 cents and even more. There has been no curtail ment in consumption, no depres sion in the price of cotton goods. The mills all over the world are running on fulf time and Isdiind with their orders. The jobbing ami retail trade is short of supplies and it appeal's impossible for the mills to meet the wants of the trade. In the past year there have l>een added to the mills of the From some inexplicable reason there is ii deep seated prejudice against budded or grafted fruit. It is hard to explain—hut to fruit growers and nurserymen it is hard ly worthy of even a passing notice —the very fact that there is ab solutely no certainty us to results from seedling trees should be a knock-down argument against them. It is argued by those who arc advocates of seedlings that the) arc longer lived. No real or scientific tests show this to be a fact—planted side by side and watched carefully so ns to make a test case and demonstrate beyond a doubt whether seedlings live longer than budded trees the re suits have shown that compara tively there is no dill’crenee. Then as to time saved: Suppose you plant a seedling tree (tho pencil for instance), you must wait at least three years to obtain re sults; and then in all probability disappointment. Plant a free stone and get a cling stone or vice versa. Suppose on tin* contrary you want a free stone early or late as tin* case may Is*, aud when your tree fruits you have precisely what you bargained for. Then again, do men who are in the nursery Inisi iicss commercially plant 'seedling trees? They would simply Ik* at sen without a rudder. Nurserymen and those who deal in or sell trees could promise you nothing; chaos, confusion aud disappointment would Ih* the result, and all con fidence destroyed in promises or statements made by those who sold tho tree. • Those who favor planting seed ling trees arc largely confined to elderly people, who can assign no other reason for tin* ravages of the borer curciillo or tin* rot in the ripe peach. They will tell you what line, luscious,melting peaches their fathers or grand-fathers used to gl ow; that no such fruit cun now be had, etc. That fine, luscious peaches or other fruits can be grown from seedling trees we will admit. Hut the uncertainty re sulting from seedlings should deter all intelligent cultivators from risking time and money on trees not to lie depended upon. It can not Ik* charged against nurserymen or dealers in trees that they are actuated by mercenary or sinister motives in selling budded or graft ed trees. The seedlings could lie raised at one-fourth or even less than budded trees are sold for,aud certainly no more care in their production than an ordinary crop of corn or cotton.—Dr. Samuel Hape. Heptemlier term of Superior Court adjourned last Saturday, af ter lining in session two weeks.
