KILLED THROUGH MISTAKE.
A Half Witted Negro Taken for a
Housebreaker.

Tarboro, N. c., Oct. (Special.) -
Wednesday night about IL o'clock John
A. Weddell, clerk of the Board of La
Dor Commissioners and town treasurer,
shot and killed Hamp Banks, half
witted colored boy who had gone to Mr..
Weddells house to deliver note
1t appears that Banks instead of go
ng to the door went to window
and was trying to make his entrance
through it. His efforts aroused Mr..
Weddell, who asked who was there and
what was wanted. The negro made no
answer, but thrust his head into the
room through a pane of broken glass
At this Mr.. Weddell seized pistol and
fired several shots The negro was
killed instantly.
OF course no blame can be attached
to Mr.. Weddell who deeply regrets the
occurrence. He has the
sympathy of the entire community.

81 per Annum, in Advance

Cheap! is the secret in a nut shell,
and they will be cheaper forever, but
how costly in the long run.
1t takes time and money to change
a seeding into a bud or grated tree;
you may bud peaches or plums at the
a pecan at 12O to 40 per day. slight
difference of only ten times the num-
Der; your peach buds will average 80
per cent, your pecan buds may be so
per cent, but more likely 10 per cent,
with the slightest unfavorable wealth
er, also only the small difference of
from one to four in favor of the peach.
With this practical knowledge be-
fore you, do you wonder that grated
or budded pecan trees are not as
cheap as peach or plum trees and new
er will be?
1 am not preaching this because I
sell grated and budded pecan trees.
Since | found out the utter uselessness
of depending upon seedlings L have
always advised prospective buyers not
to take seedlings, and what is more,
have not sold even one Seeding tree
since and never will for planting pur-
poses.
With this | send you samples of
nuts of four Russell seedlings, with a
few true Russell nuts, they speak for
themselves.
Twelve years ago | purchased Is
pounds of Centennial pecans, a large,
long nut l planted about 1000 nuts
planted 30 odd trees in my grove and
sold the rest.
From these trees l sent you SAM
pies of the resulting crops; you will
please compare with Centennial nut
and will surely refuse to be fooled
any longer by seedlings.
A prominent prOpagator in Louisi-
ana of the Centennial claims that 60
per cent of this variety come true,
and if this is a fact | must have plant
ed 40 per cent that do not come true,
and the other party, not yet heard
from, must have got the 60 per cent.
Que of the 1000 trees raised by me
of this variety and mostly sold, l
know of only one tree whose fruit
might readily pass for a Centennial,
provided you do not open the nut; it
is faulty, not filling out we'll; but did
get some "Pig nuts" from two of my
trees, and speedily cut the tops off to
bud a good variety on them. "Pig
NUT is a bitter, fuzzy swamp nut of
the pecan family.
Is it necessary to say more about
this subject? ?-Chas. e. Pabst, in

Plant No Seeding Pecans.

4ctAAC ANO NOONAAAA6 u ONCSAAo'
Reading in a late issue of your val
liable paper an article on pecans,
was fOrcibly reminded of a remark,
made a year ago, by a Chicago real
estate agent, i. e., "People are born
only to be fooled"
And | am inclined to think that he
was pretty near right, this man went
about his business with the firm con-
victiOn that it was great deal easier
to fool people than try to convince
them by telling the truth, he tried me
but failed, mainly because he called
himself the "Prince of Fakes" and
fOrwarned is fOrearmed.
In the article in question certain
editor congratulates himself in having
secured an umber of seeding Meyer
pecan trees by paying a pretty steep
price for them.
Does he expect them to bear true
to seed? He never was more fooled
in his life; so far, there is not a known
pecan whose Seeding will bear the
same nut as the parent tree, no mat
ter if contrary to the statements of all
the dealers in seed and Seeding trees.
1t is profitable business this rails
ing of seedlings, and it is no wonder
that it's advocates do not wish to XIII
the goose that lays the golden eggs,
and for that reason persiStently advO-
cate the planting of seed or seedlings,
but the result to the buyers will be in
most cases disastrous, after having
taken care of their trees for from six
to fifteen years on a perfectly blind
venture to find only very inferior
fruit on their trees, fruit worth from S
cents to 10 cents per pound.
Will this pay? Will this be salts
factory to the grower, who expects
his nut trees to give him an income in
his declining years, an income frost
curtailed by spelling because not sold
when ripe?
And all this future disappointment
could be so easily avoided by plant
ing only budded or grated stock,
which will showfo itself in from four
to six years.
Is there any sane person that can
dispute these plain facts? You would
not buy Seeding Navels or Parson
Browns, etc, you want buds for prof
it, or you would not want Elbertas,
Triumphs or Stump the World, raised
from their respective seeds, no, you
want buds and nothing else, and if SO
in regard to oranges, peaches, etc,
why do you persist in buying seed
lings of nut trees?
Does the Ruler of the Universe
give a special dispensation in favor of
seed and Seeding merchants? l do
not think so, and you do not believe
in this doctrine either, only the
Seeding trees are little cheaper,

Game Protection.

The need Of some more effective
method or system of protecting the
forests, fish and game of Florida
grows more apparent and more press
ing every day. The present system is
an acknowledged lamentable failure,
in fact it is about equivalent to no pro-
lection at all because the law is prac-
tically a dead letter. 1t restra'DS the
law abiding citizen and leaves the
door wide open for the pot hunter, be-
cause what is every mans business is
"Whenever, in the judgment of any
county, it is deemed necessary for
the protection of the fish and
game interests of such county
they shall recommend to the Gov
ernOr the name Of suitable
person for appointment as Fish and
Game Warden for such county and
the Governor shall appoint such person
for such county who shall continue in
office for four years, or until his sue
cessor is appointed and qualified.'
The act provids that the compen-
sation of such wardens shall be fixed
by the county commissioners Of the
several counties. 1t gives them the
power to Arrest violators of the law
and provides that the sheriff shall act.
There is no uniformity and can be
none. The warden is warden only ior
the county for which he is appointed;
his appointment and pay both dep,nC
upon the board of county commission
ers Of his county, and while he is ap-
pointed for four years his pay may be
cut off at any time or on the ground
of economy may never be allowed.
What is needed is a State Forest,
Fish and Game Warden with a fixed
salary and jurisdiction extending all
over the State, who shall be vested
with full power to appoint deputies
wherever they may be needed, and
who shall also have the power within
his own person by deputy to arrest
and bring before the proper officer all
violators of the law and to secure the
punishment of criminals in the fullest
and most expeditions manner. These
wardens then would all work under a
uniform system and would not be
bound down by county lines as they
are now, that is, if any have been ap-
pointed
Efficient, conscientious men, enthu>
siastic sportsmen can be found all
over the State who will make splendid
wardens and if some such system is
not adopted our rivers, lakes and in
lets will soon be striped of fish, our
fields and wild lands will be void of
game and our ranges and forests
things of memory only. By judicious
management our rivers, lakes and
coasts may be made not only sources
of bountiful supply to our home peo-

pie but may be made to yield an
enormous revenue to the State besides
paying all the expense of their prOtec-
ton and preservation.
The New England States have
grown wealthy from their fish indus
tries. Why not Florida?
We stood, last fall, at a little sta,
ton on one of our railway systems,
and saw train pass, three cars Of
which were loaded with fishermen and
fishing appliances from another state.
They had their nets, camp outfits, sup
plies and even salt, kegs and barrels
for packing their catch, going to catch
our fish and ship the choicest out of
the State, going to haul off the wealth
of our people and not leave one penny
to show for the thousands of dollars
they took away from us.
This evil can be corrected by fish
ing license and license on nets, to be
governed by the length and size of
the nets according to capacity and the
kind of fishing to be engaged in, the
license to be issued by the State War
den and the fishing to be done under
supervision of the Warden or his dep
uties Fix nominal gun license and
provide in the tax list for the return
of all guns rifles and pistols with
their valuation in a separate item of
the return and apply the tax collect
ed thereon to defraying the expense
of this department. 1t will be a mat
ter Of surprise to the whole people
when they see the amount realized on
this class of personal property that
now pays no revenue at all into the
treasury.
We believe that from this source
alone more than enough money would
be realized to meet all the expenses
of the proposed department.
TO this we would have the added
value of the fish and game saved for
our people and as attraction to visit
Ors, but the game and fish are not all
that would be saved for the State and
added to the wealth and increased re-
sources of the State.
Under the proposed system our for
ests would be protected and the now
ruthless waste put an end to.
The Wardens could and would con-
troll the burning Of the woods because
no man could fire the woods, even his
own without the permission of a war,
den and under his supervision. Acct
dental fires would be eXtinguished at
once, because the warden, whose duty
it would be to look after these matters
would see to the fire and malicious
woods burners would be detected and
punished, where now they ride away
with impunity
The timber saved in any single year
would more than pay all the expenses
of the Fish, Game and Forest depart
ment for ten years.-News-R Register.
