How TURPENrINE AND TAR ARE MApE-The
immense forests in North Carolina, which cover
the sandy ridges, between the swamps and the
water courses, consists almost wholly of the
long eafed pine The Piniss palustris of the
Southern States. From them is gathered one
of the great staples of North Carolna-the
turpentine. These trees at maturity are sew
enty or eighty feet high, and trunks eighteen
or tweLty feet in diameter near the base.
They grow close together, very straight and
without branches to two thirds their hight
Overhead their interlocking crowns form a
continuous shady canopy while beneath. the
ground is covered with thick, yellow mating
of pine straw-cean, dry, level and unbroken
by undergrowth. The privilege of tapping the
trees is generally furmed out by the laud own
er. at stated price per thousand, about from
twenty to thirty doll.rs. Under this privilege
the laborer commences his operations. During
the winter be chops deep notches into the
base of the tree, few inches from the ground
aud slanting inward. Above, 10 the hight of
two or three feet, the face is scariGed by chip
ping off the bark and outer wood.
From this surface the Iesinous sap begins to
flow about the middle of March, at first very
slow, but more rapidly during the heat of the
summer, and slowly again as winter approach
es The liqaid turpentiue runs into the notch.
es or boxes, as they are technically called,
each holding from quart to half gallon
This, as it gathers is dipped cut with wooden
spoon, barrelled and carried to market, where
it commands the highest price. That which
oozes out and hardens upon the scari6ed sur
face of the tree, is scraped down with an iron
instrument into hod, and is sold at an irferi,
or price. Every var the process of scarifing
is carried two or three feet up the trunk, until
it reaches as high as a man can conveniently
handle with bis long handled cutter. When
this ceases to yield. the same process is CON-
menced on the opposite side of the trunk. An
average annual yield is about twenty five bar
rels of turpentine from q thousand trees, and
it is estimated that one man will dip ten thous-
and boxes
The trees at length die under these repeat
ed operations. They are then felled, split
and burned for tar. The dead tress are pre-
ferred for this purpose, because when life ceas-
es, the reSnous matter concentrates in the in
terror layers of wood. In building tar kiln,
small circular mound of earth is first raised,
declining from the circumference to the center,
where cavity is formed, communicating by a
conduct with shallow ditch surrounding the
mound. Upon this foundation the split sticks
are stacked TO the hight of ten or twelve feet.
The stack is then covered with earth as in
making charcoal. and the fire applied through
an opening in the top AS this continues to
burn with a smouldering heat, the wood is
chsrred and tar flows into the cavity in the
center, and then by the conduit into the ves-
sells sunk to receive it,

to cross the river, suffered great deal. After
We had gained q footing, we were formed in
diterent parties and ordered to clear the town
o. all who we might find in arms. Our Reg
lnent was ordered to clear the third street
from the Pontoon Bridge; thi. was soon doue;
We found nearly every house deserted the cit

when our artillery commenced the work Of des-
tuction. After clearing the town and post
Ihg the list Reg P. Y. on picket, we were
allowed to stack arms and make ourselves as

TIE EXECUTION AT CoNsrANTINoPLE.
first execution which occurred in the capital
since the accession of the present Sultan took
place at the Stamboul end OF the Karakeui
bridge. The sufferer was Kurd, named Sofu
lbrahim from Mousch, near Van and his
crime had been the double murder OF his mas
ter, one Talcat Efendi, end white slave,
some ten months ago, at Belbeck The cir.
cumstances of the case merit more than the
mere record of their tragical result. He was
condemned to death, nearly six weeks ago,
since which no effort of the Minister Of Pc.
lice could find an executioner, till after hard
bargaining the services of gypsy were Sc
cured. The fellow asked l,000p for the
job, and the Minister of Police offered 500p.;
after much haggliug the contracting parties
split the difference, and 1909. were paid over
to the Zingari Calcract. Notice of his fate
had been given to the murderer, and when, at
sunrise on Monday morning, be was reused
out of his cell at the Zlpteh, be was told be
was to be sent forthwith on board steamer
for Trebizond. Accordingly he was marched
down towards the bridge between couple of
policemen. On coming within sight of the
bridge end, be saw strong picket ofpolicemen
drawn up, aud rising slightly above their
heads, the rude gallows of three upright poles
and a transverse. He then struggled violent
ly, and had to be dragged by main force to
the gallowsfoot. There he asked time to
say his mamaz (prayer), but the gypsy fnisher
of the law. considering that he had q clear six
weeks for devotion, refused grace aud, whilst
couple of policemen held him down, threw
bis waist-belt round the wretch's neck and
strangled him into inseDsibility as be lay. He
then looped rope round the neck Of his VIC
tim. and, hauling him up with this to the cross
beam of the galows, tugged at bis legs till
the work of death was done. The body re.
maned dangling within O foot of the ground
for several hours, in charge Of solitary police
man, when it was cut down and hudded away
in bag for dishonorable burial outside the
walls. When the execution took place there
were not dozen of people present besides the
police, nor did score at any one time later
in the morning stop to l0ok at the apparatus
of death and its ghastIy freight
