The pine trees of North Carolin a
still retain positive value. While
their products in naval stores are
not 90 great as formerly their value
for building purposes is rather in
creasing than diminishing. Their
worth for bodybuilding cannot be
over-estimated. Recent develp-
ments show beyond all doubt that
the pine tree furnishes the best pos
sibie material for ship builders, and
that the tests Of the sea only confirm
its value.

Lat of the Fort Bend Cases,

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX. Dec. II The Fort
Bend conspiracy cases were disposed Of
in the United States district court to.
day. There were three cases, and they
grew out of the troubles that disrupted
that county over year ago. The
leading citizens of the county, to
put an end TO these troubles, had
u ass-meeting III the court
house at Richmond, and appointed a
committee to notify certain persons, who
were the Instigators OF the trouble that
had brought reproach upon the county,
to leave within certain time. Certain of
these persons were prominent Re-
publican officials of the county. After
leaving they instigated proceedings in
the Federal courts under the civil rights
attendance upon the msss-meeting. This
resulted in the indictment of over forty
leading citizens of the county for
conspiracy. They were arrested and
brought here last Christmas eve and
gave bond each in the sum of $1,000.
Ever since then these cases have
been pending in the United States
district court. To-day the case
came up on demurrer to the indictment,
which alleged the indictment was defec-
tive, as no conspiracy existed. Judge
Bryant sustained the demurrer and dis
missed the defendants. This closes the
famous Fort Bend cases and peacs and
prosperity prevails IN that county.

then there would have been less time for
