FRUIT PROSPECTS, ; 1
- A
Horticultural Authority Says El- s
berta Peach Crop Is Ruined. 1
Apples Uninjured and i
Strawberries Abun- |,
dant.
~ Il
Fayetteville, April 20. —Col.
W. G. Vincenheller, considered .
an authority on fruit growing, |
made the following statement to
night.
‘ ‘Our strawberry tields are!
laden with bloom and fruit. We |
will have an abundant crop, i
Picking will begin from the 1st j
to the 5th of May. This county
can give employment to from
10,000 to 15.000 pickers. The
Elberta peach crop has been
practically destroyed. Some
other budded varieties and seed
lings promise good yields.
“Apples apparently are not in
jured. The Ben Davis apple did
not have a full bloom, and where
trees bore good crops last year
the fruit is shy. However, this
does not apply to many orchards.
Other varieties promise well.
Prospects now are for 60 to 75 '<
per cent of a full crop.”

'GOVERNOR EXTENDS
OLIVE BRANCH. '
Events at the state house Wed
nesday, says the Little Rock Ga- ,
zette, were indicative of a desire
on the part of Gov. Davis to j
bury the hatchet. The governor,
although a member of the board
of penitentiary commissioners,
has na~ attended a meeting of
the boe,rd since the purchase of;
the Cummins plantation for a
state convict farm in November,1
1902. He has not been on speak
ing terms with his fellow state
officials who are also members of
that board.
The governor’s presence ha3
also been lacking at many meet
ings of the state railway incorpo
ration board, whose business it
is to pass upon applications for
railway charters. Questions hav
ing arisen as to the legality of
this board’s acts without the gov
ernor present and participating,
it was decide ! to notify the gov
ernor ard request his attend- 1
ance.
There was occasion for several
| meetings of the board Wednes
day and the governor was on
hand. His mood was pleasant. |
He smiled and chatted with those
who were in responsive humor. ;
He evidently came with the olive ;
branch m his hand. In addition, j <
the governor s$ht at least one i i
message during the day to a fel
low-board member, inviting him <
into the chief executive’s cham
bers for a conference which, it •
was intimated, was to be of a <
friendly nature. The invitation <
remains unaccepted, however, ;
and the governor’s first day’s ap- j ]
pearan.ce in the role of pouring <
oil on the troubled waters was j
not a huge success. Whether <
the governor will attend the next '
meeting of the penitentiary board ]
I is yet to be seen. •

EARLY CLOSING
AFFECTED CARROLLTON.
The following paragraph from
i paper at Carrollton, Mo., indi
cates a retrospective view of the
natter of early closing:
Twenty years ago a night on
>ur streets was verv different
Tom what it is at this time. Then
ill the stores were open until 9
>r 10 o’clock and a crowd of loaf
ms could be found in each store
md the streets were full of peo
ile until 11 o’clock. Down on
saloon row there was a crowd
intil 12 o’clock and some of them
lid not go home until morning.
Fhis is all changed. A large
lumber of the stores close at 6,
ill the grocery stores at 7, the
look stores at 8 and the drug
stores at 9, and there are a very
’ew loafers on the streets or in
he stores. On saloon row there
s only a small crowd and fey 11
(’clock all is quiet in the city,
dore people stay at home nights
;han twenty years ago and the
nerchant has time to be with his
’amilv. The present plan is by
?ar the best and the improvement
s noted by any one who has
ived here all these years. Soon
;he remaining stores will close at
1 or 7 o’clock and tne streets de
serted after dark. This is the
vay it should be, for then the
iusy man lias time to rest.
