respectively as the blue grosbeak and

indigo
Along our mountain ranges, as well as
on the coast in some places that bird
of i'll omen, the raven, is still found,
and in the mountains is said to be quite
destructive to young lambs. Another
member of the crow family that is not
at all well known is the fish crow, found
only along the coast.
But perhaps there is no group of bird,
found within our borders of greater in
terest to the bird lover and to the stud
ent than the so-called wood warblers.
These are nearly all migrants or summer
visitors with US, but few of them stay
ing this far North during the winter.
We have about forty different kinds Of
these charming little fellows in North
Carolina, and their trim forms, bright
colors and social ways make the group
a most interesting one to study.
Altogether over three hundred species
of birds are found in North Carolina,
and there is hardly point in the State
that is not favored with varied and
plentiful avifauna. And it is to be-
hoped that our present educational
awakening will be broad enough to
spread throughout this fair land an ever
increasing knowledge of nature in all
her moods, including an introduction at
least to our Little Brothers of the Air"

Profitable Farming in Randolph.

Writing of farming in Randolph county
and of farm lands, Mr.. Steele, of Minne-
sofa, said:
This land, in it's present condition,
produces from fifteen to thirty bushels of
wheat per acre. Every bushel can be
sold right at home at remunerative
Prices; in April it was selling at from
90 sto 80 cents per bushel. Corn from
forty to sixty bushels per acre price, so
to 60 cents per bushel. Irish potatoes, as
we'll as sweets, grow 200 to 800 bushels
per acre, selling at from 40 cents to 81
per bushel. Butter sells at 20 to 40 cents
per pound; new milk from 20 to 80 cents
per gallon"
There is land in Randolph county which
will yield 40 bushels of wheat to the acre,
as good wheat as grows out of the
ground. We know of land in that county
the yield on which in a few years has
increased from Is to 30 bushels to the
acre, and the end has not been reached
yet Ran ?dolph wheat has taken the
premium at several expositions, and
among these the premium for the world
at the Chicago exposition. 1t is great
wheat county, but NOT the only one in
North Carolina.

Prof. H. E. Van Deman, former u. S.

fruit growing, of wide observation, and
of excellent judgment, visited our region
during the summer of 1889, and made a

successors as fully equal, and in some in
stances superior, TO any Of the kind they
had ever seen.

.FREAR ASKS
QUESTIONS
Pains DisavoWaI
of Attorneys
In Court.
STANLEY ASKED TO
SHOW AUTHORITY
Supreme Court Has a Little Fun
in Hearing OF Motion in
Tramways Case.

Pains transgressions are coming
home to roost. When the Hawaiian
Tramways Company applied to Judge
Estee a few months ago for an injunc-
ton against the Honolulu Rapid Tran
Sit Co., the latter pleaded In defense a
in the Territorial Supreme Court. Then
Pain came in with an affidavit to the
effect that Holmes & Stanley, who
prosecuted the case in the Supreme
Court did so without authority. Upon
that showing the Rapid Transit Co.
presented an order for Pains new at
torneys, Dunno & De Bolt, to show
their authority to act in the Federal
Court, which they were compelled to do.
Yesterday at the opening of the Su-
preme Court, Judge Stanley appeared
with a decree of judgment of that court
which he wished to have signed for
appeal Mr. McClanahan, for the Rap
id Transit Co, objected on the ground
that it did not set out the Judgment
of the court, in that only a portion of
King street was decreed to be opened
to the Rapid Transit Co., while the
Supreme Court in. reality decided that
the Tramways Co. had no exclusive
franchise to any of the streets of Ho-
nolulu. He contended further that I'M
der the decree Judge Stanley asked to
have signed, the Tramways could come
into court again to show their exclu-
sive right to some other street. This
point he argued had been made in the
United States Court, and Pain had
been thrown out of court as to the first
section of King street, and afterwards,
when another portion of King street
was claimed exclusively by the Tram
ways Co. that corporation had again
been ruled against by Judge Estee.
Judge Stanley contended that the
simple question decided by the Supreme
Court was as to the exclusive right of
the Hawaiian Tramways Co, to King
street, between Nuuanu street and
Thomas Square, and portions of the
submission were recited to show that.
At the conclusion of Judge Stanley's
argument Chief Justice Frear asked
with a twinkle:
What company are you attorney for.
Mr.. Stanley?''
1.-THE Hawaiian Tramways Co., cer-
tainly" responded the attorney, while
a smile spread quickly to the features
of the august members OF the Supreme
Court, and others in the court room,
who remembered Pains disavowal of
his attorneys in the United States
Court.
Have you authority to act in this
matter?" the Chief Justice again ask
ed, while the litter in the court room
became more pronounced.
THAT has never been disputed. has
p" Mr.. Stanley replied.
How about in the United States
Court?" Mr.. McClanahan interrupted.
I'VE never disputed 1t there; we were
not in that court" replied Pains attor-
neys.
II guess we will have to ask for a
rule TO show your authority?" McClan-
ahan said banteringly, and there the
matter dropped.
The judgment was finally approved
by the Supreme Court with a few Slight
notifications.

MAN DROVE OVER A BOY
ALFRED MINCHERS SKULL FRAC-
TURED AND COLLAR BONE BROKEN.
Ran After the Driver, but He Went
Too Fast for Them.

A reckless driver fatally injured Albert
Mincher, the nine-year-old son of James
r. Mincher, 225 South Noble street last
night. The boy was crossing the street, re-
turning to his home from a neighbors. The
man was driving faster tnan the law
allows and was on top of the boy before the
latter could escape. The horse first kicked
the boy. He fell and as the horse was
urged on its way by its driver it stepped on
the boy. crushing his skull. The buggy
then crossed the boys neck, breaking his
collar bone. The driver kept his horse on
its way.
The boys father was standing in his front
door when he saw the boy coming across.
He thought the driver would sacken the
speed of his horse when he saw the little
fellow crossing the street. AS the horse
kicked the boy and knocked him down he
gave a scream. This almost drove the
father frantic He ran toward the reckless
driver yelling for him to stop. The scream
of the child attraeted neighbOrs. They as
sisted Mr.. Mincher in trying to capture the
driver but the latter whipped up his horse
to greater speed and eluded them. The boy
was carried into his home and a doctor
called. He pronounced the injuries fatal
II was said the man driving the horse is
employed at a livery stable on Virginia ave-
nue.. His description was given to the police
and they are making an effort TO find him.
