CITRUS FRUIT INDUSTRY.

Tlie growing of eitrns fruit is one of the most
important propositions in the line of new en-
deavor now before the people of Southeast Tex-
as and the organization of an association the
----ae of which is the'development of this in-
/ should be followed by splendid results.
While Orange had no representative in personal
attendance at the meeting held last week in
Houston, her importance as a citrus fruit grow-
ing section was recognized and Mr. F. H. Far-
well, of this city, was made vice president of
the association for Orange county. While en
If LEA DERI Lumber company of Orange, will soon build a
tram road north from their plant at Newton,
from a connection with the Orange & North-
western railroad, the Newton News says that
it is quite likely that this will become a part of
the 0. & N. W. extension to Marshall, eventual-
ly, and adds : \ ' t,
“That this extension will mean much to the
upbuilding of Newton goes without saying.
Every town is benefitted by any improvement
| a railroad may make, provided the town does
not assume too mnch charge of the railroad’s
business and We are sure Newton will be will-
ing to do her part in a pleasing and profitable
manner when ever opportunities of this nature
present themselves.”
That’8 good, .sound sense. D Every town is
benefitted by the improvements a railroad will
make, provided the town does not assiyne too
much charge of the railroad’s business.” If
that lesson could be impressed upon our law-
makers the growth of Texas would not he re-
tarded as it is now. Reasonable regulation of
railroads is right and is necessary, but to so
hamper them with unjust laws as to make it
impossible for them to grow ilnd develop is to
bin^th** state in chains and refuse to let it
grow.

Mr. Farwell is also very much interested in fruit
and truck growing and his Sabine Farm is one
of the model truck farms of Southeast Texas.
In addition to scientific truck farming being
carried on there, much attention is being paid
Iso to oranges and othef fruits and pecans,
lge county in years gone by was dotted with
man^ dfange groves, but after the disastrous
freeze of ’86, if we remember rightly, which kill-
ed out practically all of the orange trees then
growing here, not a great deal of attention‘has
been paid to orange growing on an extensive
scale, though there are a few small orchards
that are doing well and producing abundantly.
With improved stock and improved meth-
ods of caring for the trees, there is little danger
qow of the orange groves in this section ever
being killed out again by the cold and Orange
county should once more begin to take her place
as a producer of oranges.

future for the orange and lemon industry in

I opment in this line.
I It is to be hoped that Mr. Farwell will meet
with the hearty support and encouragement of
Jhe people of Orange county in endeavoring to
bring about some development along this line
in Orange county, which cannot afford to lag
behind Jefferson, Chambers and other coast
counties in this most important matter.
that body for a constitutional amendment which
will permit the issuance of special ^barters to
cities of 5,000 inhabitants. This affects Orange*
directly. Orange is now too large to secure
and maintain the proper municipal utilities un-
der her present charter, but she has not suffi-
cient population to permit a special charter.
An act extending special charter privileges to
cities of not less than five thousand inhabitants
would make it possible for Orange to secure
a special charter and this would enable the
city council to provide the necessary street im-
provements, street lights and other things that
are so badly needed.
The Allentown (Pa.) Call grieves because
George Bailey failed to visit that benighted
bgrg on his recent trip to Washington and says:
“We notified the local bunch to be ready at a
moment’s notice to receive the man who made
the red headed Texas widows famous. The
pace at Washington, however, was too swift and
when Colored Bailey ‘came to’ lie made a bee
line Tor grandoldtexas. He simply could not
nerve himself up to a point that would give
him courage to visit Allentown.” Now, that’s
just it. You got to talking about feeding him
on ‘‘{lonhaas” and “scrapple” and other of
your cast off dishes and Bailey was afraid to
tackle the job. You should have suggested am-
brosia and angel food, such as Texas editors
are accustomed to eating, and then you would
lave had the pleasure, no doubt, of entertain-
ing the distinguished Texas member of the
Paragraphers’ Union.

There are people who* would eagerly grasp
an opportunity to adopt some fatherless and
motherless little one and make it their own. For
this reason we take pleasure in reproducing
below in full, a letter received this morning
from Joseph C. Butler, the accredited repre-
sentative of the Sisters of Charity of the New
ork Foundling and Orphan Asylum. TlieletJ
is as follows: ... -
Dear Respected Editor:
In the name of our fatherless little ones, we
appeal to your charitable heart to inform the
members of your community through the ool-
naws of your paper that we have now 1,700
healthy children, between the ages of
fyears, for whom we desire to find

We feel so much better already. The Port
Arthur News has given its permission for Beau-
mont and Orange to go ahead and complete the
Kabine-Nech^s canal. It says: ‘‘In other
words, the government has no particular ob-
jection to Beaumont and (Jrange spending their
own money on waterway improvements, so long
as the government does not have to take away
‘umls from more important projects. The river
towns have the permission of the government
and every body else to spend all they please.
And yet, after this gracious permission, it is
an even bet that some of our neighbors will, rise
and chide us for being a knocker.”
The Allentown Call tells the Orange (Texas)
leader that Ponhaas is the Latin name for
Scrapple. And cuddle-fleck is the Greek for
that brand of pudding that has big chunks of
fat in it. Our Texas, friend should get next to
the dead languages.—Pottsvilie (Pa.) Miners’
Journal.
Judging from the effect it had on our olfac-
tory nerves, we must have gotten next to one
of these dead languages the other day when
we run across a Pennsylvania Dutchman enjoy-
ing a lunch in a restaurant and eating some-
thing thkt sounded like “limbnrger” but smell-
ed like:—one of those dead languages.
(Senator Kellie now threatens to make the
race again for the office he holds in order to
vindicate his position on the submission ques-
tion. Don’t do it, Senator. The vindication
might fail to appear and then you’d lie in a
worse box than you now are. Those of ns who
have known you all our liyes and have ever
stood your staunch, true friends, and who still
love and respect you, don’t want to set* you get
in any worse predicament than you are flow,
so again we say, “don’t.”
If there ever was a town on the face of the
earth that was absolutely cursed with credit
business, that town is Orange, and until busi-
ness can be gotten on to a better ami niore sat-
isfactory basis, we can never hope to grow into
the age of fifteen,, if a city of much importance. ^

. Twelve have been reported fof de-
ficient work:
On the fifteenth of January the ex
animation* for the first half-session
closed On the eighteenth of January
the teachers and pupils began on the
work of the second term. The results
of the rxaiTiinatidns have riot been
entirely satisfactory Some pupils
who have .put forth their test efforts
during the session have n.dl done
quite so well a* was expected by
teacher or by pupil Such pupils as
these should not be discouraged. They
are not the kind of pupils who are
easily discouraged. They know that
it is not our ability to'keep from fall
ing down that assures success, but
tijjr ability to get up every time we
fall down There are others who
have failed for lack of effort on the
part of the pupil and for lack of- co-
operation on part of the parent When
parents ajlow their children to re
main at -home during school hours,
when there is no reasonable ‘excuse,
and wten some of them even acknowl-
edge,, that thete was no excuse except
that the pupil remained with the par-
ent's permission, what can te expect-
ed but failure of the pupil to aeconi
plixh anything at school. From year
to year we have the same lack of co-
operation. In a'record-bbok of seven
years ago, ia pasted this note received
by Mrs. Sims, one of 'the best teach-
ers ever connected with the Orange
schools: “'Mrs. Simes I haint got no
perticular excuse for son I Just keep
hijn at home Just for nothing.” An-
other cause for failure, especially in
the higher grades. Is the failure to
prepare lessons at the proper time
The stmt commissioner and bis force of
orknten are gradually getting into shape again
just here that a pupil may ah for
two hours before an open book on
the table, and not think consecutively
(the streets that were so badly tern up and do- [ten minutes on the subject treated
’ ^g the progress of grade raising|Thi» is not study, study requites
very little time during school hours
for the preparation of lessons. At
least two lessons require home prep-
aration. If a pupil hasa recitation at
nine in the morning that requires
forty-five minutes, and ji^st after that
another recitation of forty-five min-
utes, and makes no preparation be-
fore nine o'clock, what will such a
pupil know about his lesson? The
only study periods that. he has in
school during the rest of tb* day are
too short for the. preparation of the
remaining lessons of the day. The
arrangement of the high school course
requires two and one half to three
hours study out of school hours, and
pupils who spend their time from 7
to 10 and later at night in attending
parties and public entertainments or
in reading stories and novels at home, j
cannot expect anything but failure j
Taking it for granted that the small I
number who spend their time in read j
ing at home read only the best books, |
there is a time for such reading and 1
it should wot be done at the sacrifice j
of school work
When pupils ^nl to answer such
questions a* “Tell something about
the Japanese;" "What is a factor of!
a number?” “What is a rectangle?"!
"What is a perpendicular?" and others j
of similar nature, and, (if course, some j
other more difficult questions, the pu j
pil's excuse for all such failures is j
that the teacher did not- explain. Pu- j
pil* who seem to be able to masticate
and assimilate the most impenetrable
and indigestible food offered at a *o- j
cial r*past or public entertainment, I
come to school and ask to be fed
with a spoon Dickens, in ^escrib-
ing Dr Blimber’s school, says: “Dr.
Blimber's school was a great hot-
house. in which there Was a forcing
apparatus incessantly at work Men-
tal green peas wVre produced at
Christmas, and intellectual asparagus
all the year ' round,\ Mathematical
gooseberries were common *t un-
timely seasons Every description of
Greek and Latin vegetable was got
off the driest twigs of boys under the
frostiest circumstance*,” Now, we
have no hot house apparatus in the
school, and miles* parent* remove
these “froaiient circumstances” by
making things warm" at bothe, their
children will continue to receive no
benefit from what I conceive to be
fairly honest teaching ,,
Some parents have *aid to mr " It
take* less time for the children at our
house to learn lesson* than for other
children. Some of ttie lessons are so
easy that just,a glance at the Irssow
few minutes before the recitation
sufficient for Jane and John to
make a* good a recitation as it made
by the hardest plodders in the class "
is just such superficial .work a*
this that- was symbolized in the para-
ble of the sower, wheat the seed which |
showed the quickest results was thus !
spoken of : ”A.pd immediately it j
sprang up. because it had no depth j
of earth: hut when the sun was up. {
was scorched: and became it had
no root, it withered away *’ Still, the
parents of Jane and John are (surpris-
ed that rhe children failed on exanti
nation, and that the dull plodder* suc-
ceeded. Now, continuing the figure
the parable, and admitting that it
is at least a part of the teacher's
work in cultivating this valuable noil,
to try to pulverize the “stony ground.”
and to remove the “thorn* that grew
up and choked” and prevented growth
of good fruit, if it not at least the
part of the parent to assist preventing
otherHstone* from rolling in the, way
and other thorn seed from dropping
into the soil? How many parent* are
by their indifference and their tack, Of
co-(*peration, daily placing obstacles
in the way of the progress yiml im-
provement of their children- This
question of obligation, this question
of duty is a serious one, though some
people do not stem to take it se-
riously, Our usefulness to others pud
our individual growth depend largely
upon the manner in which we regard
the obligation* that have been placed
upon us. ' . *
