A Paradox,
The paradoxical discovery that
speed a sailing vessel may lie in-
creased by perforating its sails is claim-
ed by Captain an Italian
mariner. lie that the fixed
cushion of air tilling up the hollow of
inflated sail lessens the effect of the
wind, and he has sought Io prevent the
collecting this cushion by making a
number of bole.- in the canvas. Several
trials, made in all weathers, have given
surprising results. In a light wind a
vessel made knots with ordinary sails,
and knots with perforated sails; in a
fresh breeze and knots respective-

It's the Luxuries They are
For.
A minister, remarking, a
few days ago, on the prevailing cry of
hard limes, scarcity if money, etc.,
said that it is not the necessities of life
that the people arc crying for but the
luxuries. This is true. How many
people in this section, instance, are
actually destitute Poor people there
are, of course. There always have been
poor people and always will be poor
people, no matter what sort of
obtain. On the other hand, nu-
people enjoy more luxuries to-
day than ever before. We are glad
J that this is so. but some of them, be-
cause they cannot obtain the
they want, out that they are
poverty-stricken and oppressed. It is
not the necessities of life they cry for,
but the Land-
mark.

and a quarrel resulted, during which
each claimed to engaged to the girl.
They finally agreed to submit the

on the subject. The reason is that
somehow or other the republicans have

It is now openly conceded even by
such sturdy opponents of silver as
Secretaries Smith and Morton that a
large majority of the delegates to the
Chicago convention will be silver men,
but there is much less talk of a bolt by
opponents of silver than there was
when the control of the convention was
in doubt. In fact, a number of the
strongest advocates of the gold stand-

to silver Democrats their intention to
support loyally the ticket and platform
of the Chicago convention. So far the
Democrats in Congress are doing very
little any particular can-
for President, and while most of
them have a personal preference there
is nothing like a concentration of

How it Should for Priming
and When the is Cat.
ICY O. L.
There will be a good many
this year who in all probability will
prime their tobacco the stalk to cure
it, and we have been asked by some
who will prime how the tobacco should
be topped. Not having had much ex-
in priming tobacco v e are not
prepared to give a safe opinion about
the matter, but for the benefit of our
readers who want this
have inquired of a number of our most
successful farmers who cure their crop
by priming and nearly every man says
he tops for priming just as he would if
he were to cut the stalk, the reason
being that if the stalk is topped much
higher the top leaves never develop
and consequently when cured they are
green tips and amount to nothing,
while if the stalk is topped sufficiently
low to develop the top leaves, instead
of getting green strips they will remain
on the stalk and develop into ripe
leaves, and when cured you get almost
as good color as any the mat of the
leaves on the stalk.
One very good authority states that
on his land is a dark gray loam,
and which will produce to
pounds lint cotton to the acre, he
generally tries to get from to
leaves to the stalk in accordance with
the thrill and of tin- plant.
understand that some are advising
not to top at all. and there will be no
necessity of the and
that the stalk will produce from to
M good leaves of tobacco. We have
never seen a crop managed after this
manner, but a year ago we were told
that Mr. R. G. Chapman, one of the
most successful that we have,
did not top his tobacco at all while
we never hail any faith whatever in this
plan we were to pay some at-
to it as Mr. Chapman, m know,
made good tobacco. On last Monday
he was in town and we
went and asked him it was true that
he not top his tobacco said
he, who told you that did
lie said he topped just precisely as if
lie was going to cut the stalk, and then
if seasons were favor and he saw
proper, he cut and cured the stalk.
From a common sense of view
think this decidedly the best plan
for them. It you want to cure the
crop by cutting the stalk, there will be
no trouble while if the stalk is not
topped cannot do it. In topping
the crop great care should be observed
and no definite rules can he laid down
by which to lie governed.

the number of that it will bear
and it the crop is intended to be primed
from the beginning under no
s do we think that it be
to top more than t to leaves
higher than when- it is expected to be
cut.
The idea of not topping the plant at
all seems ridiculous to us in the extreme

The prospects are that the approach-

ever held in this State. The exec-

and President Joyner seem to have left
no stone unturned to insure its success.
The session has been shortened to a
working session of five days with every
afternoon for recreation. A full,
tractive and varied program has been
ranged, comprehending questions of
interest and vital importance to the
advancement of the profession
and to the educational and de-
of the Stale, to discussed
by men and women whose eminent
and established reputation entitle
them to speak with authority on these
questions and insure able and helpful
discussions.
The extremely low rate of one fare
for the round-trip has been secured
from railroads in the State. An ex-
low of board, ranging
from a day to 15.00 and a
week has been secured at many of the
best hotels and private boarding houses
in Asheville. These are the lowest
rates ever before obtained for members
of the Assembly. The railroad tickets
