VALUABLE oRosBEAk EGGS.
"a Each Received by Lad Who Caught
Some of the Birds.


Some of the Birds.
Last February, when the tempera-
ture held at zero for a week at a time
and the snow was falling every other
day, Hector Sanborn, aged Is, set horse
hair snares about his home and caught
more than two dozen pine grosbeaks,
says the Dexter, Me-, correspondent of
the New York Sun. Most of them were
females. He kept the birds in large,
open and weli-lighted room at the rear
OF the barn and fed them on seeds and
refuse fruit. While the weather con-
tinued cold the birds were mostly
healthy and took kindly to the new
way of life, becoming fat and frisky
with nothing to do but eat and sleep.
In March several pairs mated, built
nests and began to lay eggs, and by
April 1 the boy had secured "a fine
specimens. Then the spring weather
came and caused the birds to have
commissions, from which nearly one
half died. Finding that he would be
unable to keep his pets through the
summer young Sanborn liberated the
survivors, allowing them to go north
and seek more congenial temperature.
Last week the boy received an offer of
81 each for every pine grosbeak egg
he could spare. He at once shipped
thirty to the Boston naturalist who
wished to complete collection of rare
eggs, and two days ago he received a
check for S120. If next winter proves
to be cold enough to drive the gros-
beaks to Maine the boy can see a big
fortune on easy terms

PLAIN TALK BY CURRY.

The Doctor Addresses Tar Heel Legtsla-
ture On Negro Question.
In his address before the North Caro-.
lima legislature and state officers, Dr..
In. Curry dwelt upon the negro ques-
tien and the educational question and
handled both without gloves. He said
in the course of his remarks:
81 am glad slavery has been abol-
ished, but I regret that its curse of
ignorant, stupid, unenligbtened labor
remains. Nobody, white or black,
ought to have the right to vote unless
he can read his ballot and has paid his
poll tax. Anyone who would cheat
q negro at the ballot-bo1 would cheat
his neighbor in q trade. There is no
hatred between the white and colored
youth of this country, and I have no
sympathy with the doctrine that there
is. There are two remedies for the
negro prob!em-diffusion and coloni-
zation. I do not see how either is
feasible.
'To me the negro problem is the
most serious that ever confronted q
people. T know it and it will never be
solved until it is solved justly. I know
that no two races live in peace togeth-
er where one is semi-barbarous and the
other is enlightened. If the southern
states refuse to do justice to the negro,
the latter will become insurrectionary
and lawless and it will require all the
powers of tie government to control
them. You must educate them

Without magnificent ceremonies he
was christened on January 25,, 1912,
in st. Georges chapel, Windsor, the
king of Prussia being his sponsor.
The only high and noble English
title inherited by the prince of Wales
at birth was that of duke of Cornwall.
Before he was four years old he was

The new ruler of England will be
sixty years of age next November.
The prince has four children-one

THE QUEEN CoNsoRr.
Caroline Marie Charlotte Julie Lou
ise, wife of King Edward VII, and
queen consort, was born in Copen-
hagen on December l, 1S44. She is
the eldest daughter of Christian TX,
king of Denmark. Under the sslic
law, which places females outside of
the line of succession, she, of course,
could have no hopes of succeeding her
royal father to the throne. Her only
chance then lay in marrying an heir
apparent.
All London went wild over the an
nouncement of the comming marriage
of the prince with the Princess Alex
andra of Denmark. The queen and
the cabinet thought it high time that
the wayward prince should quit SOW
ing broadcast his wild oats and 'smar-
ry and settle down" On the 9TH Of

BANK DOORS CLOSE
One Of the Oldest Houses In
Montgomery Goes Glimmering.
UNABLE TO MEET OBLIGATIONS
Cash In Vaults Said to Be Sufff-
cient to fleet Claims of
Depositors.

A Montgomery, Ala, special says:
The failure of the Josiah Morris bank
to open it's doors Saturday morning
was genuine surprise to everybody.
The following notice was tackled on
the door Of the bank, which is e1-
planatory, and is all that anyone has
been able to get out of the bank off,
GERS:
"To the Public-Yesterday some of
our checks in New York, for which we
had made provision, were temporarily
refused by our correspondent, though
they were afterwards paid. This in
formation came to US late after the
close of banking hours. Since then a
number of Inquiries has been made
and the apprehension created convin-
ces US that, in justice to, creditors, We
ought to suspend payment. This con-
ditlon of affairs has arisen from the
inability to make quick realization of
large assets and shrinkage in assets.
It is hoped that the assets, prudently
arranged, will pay creditors in full.
We have not arranged or taken any
legal steps concerning the disposition
of assets, but await the wishes Of our
creditors.
No name was signed to the paper.
The bank was owned by F. NJ. Billing,
a man Of large means and integrity,
and it is not believed here that any
one will suffer on account of the fail
ure. The Montgomery merchants
were large depositors in this bank, as
were also the county and city of Mont
gomery. The county had on deposit
Friday $144,1S4, while the city had
s92, 1000 on deposit. The county treas
urer has bond in the Fidelity and
Deposit Company of Maryland for
$4,000, and it is thought this will
cover any loss to the county. The city
treasurer's bond is only $4,000, and
the president of the bank is his surety.
The railroads were large depositors,
pecially the Louisville and Nashville
and the Central of Georgia and the
Western. There were many out of
town depositors, and one woman of
Lowndes county had $4,000 on de-
post. The Ladies' Hebrew Benevo-
lent Association had $1,000 on deposit.
The bank was establiahed by Josiah
Morris years ago, and was said to be
the oldest private bank in the state.
After Morris death Billing became
sole owner and proprietor. No one.
knows what the capital stock was ex-
cept the bank officials, and nothing
can be had from them.
