“How do you know the condition of

“We have a weekly report made to
us by the agents along the line of road
as to the. condition of the crop, and by
this'we are guided. We know in a

takes to make a car load of melons.
If the season is good it will take a less
number of acres to make a. car load
than if the seasons are not good.”
“How is the acreage tills year, com*
pared'with last year?”
“There is a less acreage on the line
of the Savannah, Florida and Western

lines, the Southwestern railroad and

acreage than last year.”

Several small towns are besieging

An Indiana Judge has truly said,
“There is no politics iu crime,” hut
the converse of that is not true, unfor
tunately. There is crime In politics,
especially the politics that prevails in
the latter day office-seekers.
The lawr Is openly violated
without shame aud remorse,
and lie who allows himself put up far
an office unless lie stoops to the tricks
ot his oppouent, will find that he
will be sadly left. Thetronble is not
so much with the men wh'o want the
office, as with the wretched' condition
into which the voters of the country
have sunk. Of course, il incorruptible
men, u ho vrere incapable of bribing,
should offer for an office ,and . there
competition only . iu tie
purest methods of f patriots,
tlie campaign aud election methods
would he what they should be in a
country of free institutions, which the
purity ot the ballot can alone main
tain. But in such an event there
would bo no general interest taken in
the election, and tbe vote would be ab
solutely less than one. half of the voting
population. The Northern Republi
cans marvel at the light vote
cast In many Southern districts,
but if they were acquainted
with the stimulus necessary to excite
interest in elections, then they
would cease to marvel. But, in reality,
they do know the existing pub
lic indifference to . every issue
involved In any election, hut direct
and immediate personal gain, for it ex
ists alarmingly in their own districts.
We need a purification of tlie ballot—in

As they turned the kuob to euter their

Father Boyle’s Flight.

J. J. Boyle, the priest arrested on a
charge of rape, was arraigned. bo«md
over to court and . committed to jail.
An immense concourse of people gath
ered to hear the preliminary trial, aud
an extra posse of twenty police was
sworn In. The affair has created the
reatest sensation ever known berel
is offense is a capital one, and is not
bailable. The warrant on which he
was arrested charges him with commit
ting rape upon Geneva Whitaker, the
organist of his church, a delicate girl
fifteen years of :ige, daughter of Mayor
Wesley Whitaker, magistrate and
prominent Catholic of- Raleigh.
Father Boyle, it is asserted by the girl,
enticed her into his room by telling
her that her organ music was there,
and then committed the terrible crime.
Boj'Ie is a native of Pennsylvania and
is twenty-nine years of‘age. it is
learned to-uight that his father is a man
of ni*-aiis and live* at Philadelphia.
Boyle was in au insane asylum some
years ago. He has been drinking
heavily fbr some time,and wa? reported
last week by a member of bis congre
gation to the • Bishop, and steps were
beiug takeu to discipline him. When
he heard that he had been, reported he
made threats that he would kill the
man who iutortned tbe RDhop. He
went away Friday and in an

The best j jke that ha* ever been told

Captain Glenn and General (Ja*^r**H
were on opposite side* in. a celebrated
case.
Iu his speech the general quoted a
passage from the Bible. When he had
finished some one whispered to Captain
Glenn:
“Tiiat qoutatlon isn’t in the scrip
tures.”
“Where Is it?” asked the captain.
“In the apocrypha,” was the reply.
As It transpired afterways, the cap
tain wasn’t up In the scriptures, and
he didn’t exactly catch the word
“apcchrypha.” *
“Aha!” he said, half to blmseli,
“i’ll down the general.”
When It come his tfqie to speak he
arose and said, with the most wither
ing sarcasm at his command
“Gentlemen c*f the jury, the gener-
,ral r s scriptural quotation isa’t in the
' res.”
:ere’s it then ?” shouted the gen
eral' as he sprang to bis feet.
“It is in the hypocalypse,” yelled
back the captain.
The people in the coqrt roam and
roared ana Captain Glenn, thinking
the applause was caused by his floor
ing tlie general, yelled again:
“I say, sir, your scriptural quotation
is in the iiypobalyse,”
There was more laughter, and Cap
tain Gleen struck tbs table a terrific
blow with his fist and yelled the third
time:
“Ye3, sir, your quotation neyer saw
the Bible; it is in the old hypocal
ypse.” - v
General Gartrell,soitis said, thought
like the Captain, that he w'as floored,
and remained quiet during the rest of
the speecii.

Oil of Birch Costs Hooey.
From the New London Telegraph.
Recently there was sent from Nor
wich to New-York tire two gallon tin
eaus fiiled with oil of black birch,
which was manufactured iu Bozrahby
John Miner. It is worth $80 a gallon,
and the live cans contained 158 pounds
of oil, valued at $800, or a little over
$5 a pound.
Black birch trees do not yield oil as
the maple trees run sap. There is work
in getting tlie tender twigs, and labor
in the process of extracting the oil.
One tou of twigs yields just three
pounds of oil, and it took nearly fifty-
three tons of twigs to yield the ten gal
lons. This oil is used -iu giving the
wintergreen flavor to confections of all
kinds.

they spend together an hoar or two
in a social way. Some curmudgeon
in the neighborhood, happening to
get a glimpse through the blinds at a
bottle and glasses and the smoke of
cigars and to hearthe sounds of cheer
ful laughter, thought It behooved him
to let the bishop kno^:.what was going
on. .Thereupon be wrote to that dis

greatly .exaggerrating what.lie had

The Power of Faith,
From the New York Mercury.
“Yas, my bruthrin,” said Parson
Gabe Ransom in the course of his ser
mon, “faith kin move mountains an’
dig tunnels. Wben yon go to pray
hold on to yo* faith an* keep a-wrest-
lin*, an’ yon’Il get what you want
arter a while. Now, last night I had
a mos* powerful ’lustration of de power
of faith. Brer Toleson,dat you see
ober dor ’boat the middle o’ de con-
jegation, he spent de night at my
iouse las’ night. Well, Brer Toleson
hadn’t been wid me long ’fo* I fonn*
out dat he had a flask o’ whisky in his
pocket. Well, blest ef he didn’t spend
ae whole evenin’, plum twel bedtime
widout axin’mo to tas*e his liquor.
Co’se I wouldn’t *a’ to’ched it, but, all
do same, he ought ’a’ showed de right
sort o’ neighborly sperit by axin’ me
to see ef ’twas any ’cout. Den I
thought Brer Toleson ought to be pun-
ishea for actin’ in dat way; and when
he went to sleep I prayed tode Lawd
to let dat whisky in his pocket be turn
ed Into water; an’ I kept on prayin’,
an’ at las’ I knowed It ’twas done turn
to water ’cause I got up an’ took a tas’e
of it. Now, Brer Toleson, I want you
to rise at yo’ seat an’ tell dls congre
gation ef I haven’t been tellln* de
troof.”
Brother Toleson arose and began:
“My bruthrin, Brer Ransom has
told you de troot, an’ great is de pow’r
of faith. I always take a little whisky
round In my pocket fer de weak
’s sake. I been ’dieted all my
life wid weak stomach. Well, las’
nighLwhile I sleepin’at Brer Ransom’s
I woke up in de night wid weak
stomach, an’ I reached for my flask o’
whisky; an’ blest mo ef ’twa’n’t right
fall o* water. Well, me an’ Brer Ran-
had been talkin’ ’bout de power o’
pra’rful faith; so I knelt down an*
prayed de Lord to turn dat water into
brandy ’zackly like dat bottle o’
brandy dat I knowed was in Brer Ran
som’s cupboard; an* in less ’an two
minutes dat flask was full o* brandy.
Yas, bruthrin, great is de power of
faith. Den I prayed to have dat
brandy sweetened, an, ’twas sweeteu-
ed; an’ I drunk de las* drop ob It jes’
now while Brer Ransom was leadin’ in
pra’r. Yas, bruthrin, sicli a ’lustra
tion of de power of faith as mean’
Brer Ransom ’sperienced las’ night dat
don’t happen often in a lifetime.”
Brother Toleson sat down, and Par
son Ransom arose:
“My friends,” said the parson, “I
fully ’agree wid what Brer Toleson
done told you
but when he go to pray for braudy I
don’t a * • *
he got c
in his p
my bottle o* brandy., up inhispra’rs;
an’ when I git home I gwine right
straight an* see ef de brandy in dat
bottle done swunk any.”
The Speed of Thought.
Nineteenth Century.
It takes about two-fifths of a second
to call to mind the country In which a
well known town is situated or the
language in which a familiar author
wrote. We can think of the name of
the next month in half the time we
need to think of the name of last month.
It takes on the average of one-third of
a second to add numbers containing
one digit and half a second to multiply
them. Such experiments give us con
siderable insight into the mind.
Those used to reckoning can add two
to three in less time than others; those
familiar with literature can remember
more quickly than others that Shake-
spear wrote “Hamlet.” It takes longer
to mention a month when a season has
been given than to say to what month
a season belongs.
The time taken up in choosing a mo
tion, the “will time,” can be measured
as well as the time taken up in per
ceiving. If I do not know which of
two colored lights is to be presented,
and must lift my right hand if it be red
and my. left if it be blue, 1 need about
and my. left if It be blue, I need about
one-thirteenth of a second to initiate
the correct motion. 1 have also been
able to register the sound waves made
in the air by speaking, and thus have
determined that in order to call up the
name belonging to a printed word I
need about one-ninth of a second, to a
letter one-sixth of a second, to a pic
ture one-quarter of a second and to a
color one-third of a second.
A letter can be seen more quickly
than a word, bat we are so used to
reading aloud that the process has be
come quite automatic, and a word can
be read with a greater ease and is less
time than a letter can be named. The
le experiments made on other per-
s give times differing but little from
my own. Mental processes, however,
take place more slowly in children, in
the aged and iu the uneducated.
Blaine and Cuba.
Secretary Blaine is not pursuing an
aggressive foreign policy so far. Possi
bly it is for the reason that
strength has toned down his
cy. Lord Chatham, howevei.
more fiery and daring as hls ailments
increased. Possibly Mr. Sherman, In
his London talk the other day, explain
ed it better when he said that Mr.
Blaine had not been daring because he
has not bad the chance.
Bat the Maine Premier has been
talking lately. He thinks America
should have Cuba. He regards this
Queen of the Antilles as valuable, not
alone from a commercial but a stra-
Jc standpoint. In time of war it
would command the entrance to the
Golf of Mexico and should not be held
by a foreign or possibly a hostile
power. We should have Cuba. We
want her sugar cane, her frnKs and
cigars, hut best of all we need her
commanding position. Mr. Blaine
thinks Cuba could .he annexed
territory, not as a State, Cuba, how
ever, would figure well as a member
of the Solid South.

The Son Bid Not Stand Still.
From the Ktnuu City Times.
At Christ church, Bishop Ussher,
rector elect, took tor his subject the so-
called mistake of the “Sun Standing
Still,” taking bis text from Joshua, x.
12-14. Hesbowed that the error In
understanding the passage grew out
of the Masorite interference with the
original Hebrew in the year A. D. 500,
wheu the vowel pointt were intro
duced. Hegave the translation ofthe
unpointed Hebrew by Dratt. a very
eminent Hebrew scholar, as follows:
“Then spake Joshua to Jehovah, on
the occasion of Jehovah, delivering up
the Amorites before the children of
Israel,let the sun be obscured over Gid
eon, and the moon over the valley of
Ajalon, and the sun was obscured and
the moon also, while the people rose
np against its enemies. Is not this
written in the book of Joshua, and the
sun remained In the clouds ot heaven
and shone, not rising like an ordinary
day, and there has not been inch an
event as this before or after it, as to
harkening of Jehovah unto tbe voice
of man, for Jehovah fought for Israel.
The translation does away with all
the built-up difficulties regarding the
arrest of planetary motion.
The preacher, while stating distinct
ly that he in no sense limited divme
thought or power for a moment, that
anything in the created universe was
outside of the limit of the fullest divine
control, showed by scientific facts that
the condition of the sun, seenflng to
stand still could be produced by re
fraction, and by his very clear way or
putting facts left no ground for tne
skeptic to stand upon.
