position that was submitted by one of
his students. The subject given was
THE Seasons and it was at time
when the war spirit ran high. The
young hopeful made his composition
short, and in it he took occasion to
show how patriotic he was. 1t read:
There are four seasons-spring, sum
mer, fall and winter. Some persons
like spring; some persons like sum-
mer; others like fall, and still others
like winter; but as for me, give me
liberty or give me death. "-Philadel-

If people knew more about fish they
eat it is possible that a slice of baked
blue" might fill many man with
shuddering horror. for the bluefish is
perhaps the most terrible and blood
thirsty thing in all nature. The tiger
has sweet and cheerful disposition
compared to the L,uefish, the shark
seems phlegmatic and amiable Great
ure, and the wolf, by comparison, is
positively mild. The bluefish make
menhaden their especial prey. When
a school of these fish perceive bluefish
near they swim away with such terrific
haste that the ocean foams under
them, but the bluefish can not be dis
tanced. They rush among the help

prey, but kill purely for the love of

How the Tariff ON Paper and Pulp Enc
ables 10 TO Fleece the Newspaper Pub.
Ifsher

Washington, January 30.-A called
Publishers Association was held here
today with a view TO directing the at
fention OF the American members of
h joint high commission TO the ur-
gent need that a policy be adopted
which shall protect American forests
by securing in the treaty now in course
OF preparation between the United
States and Canada a revocation of the
present duty on print-paper and pulp
from Canada. After a brief and infor-
NAL discussion a statement OF the views
OF the American Publishers Associa-
ton was adopted, ordered 10 be printed
and presented 10 the members Of the
commission and TO representatives and
in congress. The statement
ays in part:
The delegated representatives of a
large numebr Of newspapers in meet
ing assembled at Washington, jar
uary 30, 1899. respectfully submit to
the president n to the American COM
mlssloners that the honest intentions
which originally induced the estab-
lishment Of the tariff on paper and
pulp have been perverted to further the
purposes of a recently formed corpora
ton, the international Paper Company,
and that every newspaper publication
IN the country east of the Rocky
mountains has been placed at the mer-
cy of that corporation. Within the
last week We are advised that the In
ternational Paper Company has ac-
CURED fourteen additional mills, repre-
senting the plants of three large con-
Germs n that it is negotiating for
three other properties, which represent
all of the output from independent
mills in the territory east of Michigan.
In view of the fact that the Interna-
tlonal Paper Company is selling it's sur
plus in England, Australia and Japan
in successful competition with Cana
dian, German n Swedish manufac-
turers, and in view of the important
point that the International Paper
Company is protected by reason of it's
proximity to its customers TO the ex-
tent of an average of SIG per ton, and
by reason of its ability to obtain cheap
er and better supplies of coal and
chemicals, We fail to see the occasion
for giving sanction to it's abuse of gov
ernmental protection"

Wilson, N. c., January 30.-What
came near being a destructive fire oc-
Cured on Tarboro street this morning
about 4 o'clock. 1t originated in the
store occupied by Gardner & Co., COM
pletely destroying the stock and great
ly damaging the building. The fire
company responded promtly to the
alarm and did good work to arrest
the further spread of the flames. The
store and stock Of Luper & Ruffin, ad-
joining, were considerably damaged.
The loss in both cases was partially
covered by insurance.
This is the third fire supposed to be
of incendiary origin which has started
in the business portion of the town
since the last election.
In a difficulty just below the railriad
depot here at 1880 o'clock tonight, Lon
Daughtry shot and killed Cornelius
Jordan. They are both white men be-
tween 20 and 80 years Of age. Daughtry
has heretofore been regarded as a

was disposed to be fussy when drink
ing. Daughtry belonged to the crew
of the Marietta, the consort of the bat
tleship Oregon on her wonderful trip
from San Francisco to Key West dur
ing the late war. He has not yet been

Great snow I'm Colorado

Denver, Col, January 29.-(Sunday.)
The snow storm which has been rag
ing on the mountains since early last
week, has subsidized. The sun broke
through the clouds today and the wind
abated. In some places the fall of snow
has been the heaviest in fifteen years.
In and about Leadville serious results
are threatened. The supply of coal and
provisions in the smaller mountain
towns has become exhausted, and
suffering must result unless the rail-
roads can be opened. Snowslides are
reported from several places, but only
from Apex, where three were killed,
has come information of casualties.
Information from Kokomo is to the eff
feet that great masses Of hard packed
snow overhang the town, threatening
it with serious damage should they
give way. kOkOmO was carried away
by an avalanche in the early eighties
and the residents are fearful lest this
should be repeated now.
The South Park road has Deer tied
up between Como and Leadville. Sew
eral days ago an attempt was made
to run a train with provisions west
ward through the snow. The train
stuck neal Dickey, where it has re-
Hagerman tunnell, on the Colorado
Midland, has blocked that road west of
Leadville, and trains to Glenwood have
zone over the Denver and Rio Grande
tracks. Between Como and Leadville
the snow has drifted in the cuts to the
depth Of thirty and forty feet. The only
road running west and east from
Leadville, that has been clear, is the
Danver and Rio Grande, which has
felt but little inconvenience from the
storm.

the reduction Of the general tax from

says he is working hard to carry out
his plan. He proposes a tax on
