HOPKINS
WANTS 40
ACRES
Claims Right 10 Tha. Space for
Oyster Beds by Priority Of
His Application.

There was a hearing today in the ap-
pellate division OF the supreme court be-
fore Judges Tillinghast and Douglas on
the petition OF Charles f. Hopkins OF
Warwick for a reversal OF the decision Of
the commissioners OF shell fisheries.
The case came 10 be heard on the mo-
tion OF the respondents TO dismiss for
want Of jurisdiction, on the facts set
forth In the petition and copy OF the re-
cord
The petitioner claims that he filed an
application for 40 acres OF oyster ground
lying south OF Conimicut Point In Nara
gansett Bay and that some months after
ward, before his application had been ad-
verified according to law other applica-
lions were filed for the same ground and
IL was ultimately decided 10 equitably al
lot the ground 10 all the applicants.
This was done by a subcommittee OF
the board who reported April IL. 1909. al
lotting portions 10 the petitioner Charles
b. Hopkins r.. M. Buckingham, George
T. Greene. Jr. and John A. G. Gladding
and son.
Mr.. Hopkins declined TO take the land
allotted 20 him. however, and claimed
that he should have had the whole section
by right OF prior application.
The respondents claim that the appeal
does not sufficiently set forth the grounds
upon which the petitioner claims TO have
been injured by the decision of the COM
missioners.
Authorities were cited TO show that the
court had not Jurisdiction IN the case and
the respondents contend that, the com
mission constitutes an inferior court
chaged with certain ministerial and judi
cial duties
on all matters Of fact properly before
them. in the legal exercise OF their dis
cretion, their decisions are final and con-
elusive. except In so far as a right OF ap-
peal may be especially reserved by the
statute under consideration.
They asked that the petition be dismiss
ed as not setting forth sufficient grounds
to sustain an appeal.

ney general and James G.. Collins, Jr.,

News Notes from Col. Olds' Raleigh
Correspondence.

Cotton is opening quite rapidly in
this section and it now appears that
the crop will be quite a good N
There is confidence in high prices.
1t is said that east of here, particu-
larry in Halifax County, not a few
tobacco growers have let that crop
spoil in the fields since the low prices
we're considered as making the crop
worthless.
It is asserted that in Raleigh only
four votes will be cast against the is
sue of bonds in aid of the Raleigh
and Pamlico Railway.
The sheriff of this county thinks
crops have been injured 2 per cent
during the last twenty days. The
corn in this section is particularly
fine.
Sheriffs who we're asked if they
ever knew the laws against vagrancy
to be enforced in this State say they
have "heard tell" of a law, but never
knew it enforced.
In a few days the State Board of
Education will make another loan.
probably of something like $4,000,
to about fifteen counties, for aid in
building and improving public
schools. The former loan was for
about 1000, which was applied for
by thirty counties.
The scuppernong grape, that darl-
ing of the autumn, is coming in. This
crop never fails. The vines are sim
ply loaded. There is no better grape
on earth. The fig crop is large and
fine this year and many are in mar
ket. This has certainly been a boun-
tiful year for berries, fruits and
melons. There was never a better, in
this section at least.
It is learned from persons who sell
grass seeds here that the attention
of the farmers is being more turned
to the cultivation of grasses than
ever before. One dealer said to me:
"I have already sold five tons of grass
seed this year. | neve knew any
thing like this to happen before. A
few days ago I sold one hundred
pounds of clover seed to one man
here"
News comes here hat some person
in the northern part of the county
shot some cartridges last month. The
Audubon Society is after them. Last
year the pot-hunters Stayed the
cartridges in September and Octo-
Der, before the season began. That
is why the birds we're so strangely
scarce when the game season opened.
Now it is not only against the law
to shoot them before November 1,
but to have birds in possession be-
fore that date-a well-deserved blow
at pot-hunters and bird-sellers, res
taurants, hotels, etc.

Brooks, of the Educational Campaign
Committee, that Fentress Township.
in Guilford County, consisting of
eight or nine school districts, was
carried by a big majority for local
taxation on yesterday. This is the
township where Governor Aycock
and DR.. McIver spoke last Saturday,
and it is the first whole township in
the State that has voted for local
tax as a unit.

in the road is 81, $780, 900, and the

was offered. Mills and Finlayson also
offered to enter into bond to make
the road a strictly independent sys-
tenn and to build not less than fifty
miles of new road.
Goldsboro dispatch: Cotton is
coming as fast as the farmers a get
it ready for market. The general i'm
preston prevails that the price will
not stay where it is now, and the
planters are making strenuous efforts
to set it on the market before the
price goes down. There were several
bales or this market to-day and the
ruling price was eleven cents. To
bacco has been selling this week for
at least n cent more in the pound
on this market. The large buyers
have shown more interest in the sales
and the receipts have been heavier
than at any time since the market
opened the first of August.
Gastonia News: Farm labor is
scarce in CASTOR County. The ne
groes seem scarce and not willing to
work. There seems to be two causes
of the apparent scarcity of the negro.
Many have gone to the large syndi-
cate farms and mines. Others have
crowded into the towns and cities.
While the white population has had
a constant increase, negro population
does not increase in the cities and
towns and villages. Even so small
a town as Gastonia has but few ne
gro children, and many of them are
the offspring of families that have
moved from the country. The coun-
try districts are constantly drained
by the flow of the negro population
to the town, and in the towns they
| die with no offspring.
"There is a bright prospect ahead
| for the small farmer who does his
own work." said a w~ell-informed out
of-town man yesterday. 81 believe
cotton will not for a long time be
low again. The demand is increas-
ing, and, at the same time, owing to
the increasing scarcity and unrelia-
bility of labor, it does not seem that
the crop will be largely increased.
Cotton growing requires labor, a
good deal of it, and the class that is
required to produce it on a large
scale IS getting farther and farther

now CLARK BUYS A BOND
Which Guarantees His Family an Es.

Home, If lie Lives.

Mr.. Clark, aged thirty-fve, is man.
ager of the elevator in the town of Sa-
lem. The position pays him good
salary, enabling him to support his
family and lay aside about 5000 per
year. Though he Is now living COM
fortably. he realizes that he must de-
wise some way OF providing an income
for his declining years
His idea is to buy a farm. During
= period of meditation as to whether
or not he shall purchase certain quar-
ter section of land which Is for sale at
$1,000, he is interviewed by represen-
tative of the Old Line Bankers Life In
surance company OF Lincoln, Nebraska,
who endeavors to interest him in Life
Insurance. sss.sse
Hardly does the agent get well start
ed, when he is interrupted by Mr. Clark
who tells him of his intention to buy
q farm. He states that he is about to
make small payment on the purchase
price and will, II the agent can offer
anything better be an interested
listener.
"Well," said the agent, suppose you
buy farm worth $4,000 by paying the
small sum of $17525 annually without
interest, for twenty years, the con-
tract for same containing clause spe-
cifying that, should you die at any
time, the party from whom you buy
the land will cancel all deferred pay
ments, aid give your estate a clea,
title; or If you live to the maturity OF
the contract, give you not only the deed
to the land, but pay you as large per-
Centage of profit as you could reason
ably expect to make from the property.
Would you buy a farm on. those
terms?"
OF course Mr.. Clark was interested,
and since the Company secures each
and every contract issued with a de-
posit of approved securities with the
State of Nebraska, he expressed a will
ingness to become party to such an
agreement.
WELL" continued the agent, 'if you
will pay annually to the Old Line Bank
ers Life Insurance Company Of Ne
braska the sum of s175.25 they will, If
you die at any time. pay to whom you

plus. amounting to SIS, ,491.25. You will
readily see that you receive $l,9S6.2s
more than you pay in. which is better
than four per cent compound interest.
Then, too, having the assurance that,
should you die, you would leave a COM
Portable estate" Mr.. Clark bought the

can do.

tract to you. Ii you do not own all
