THE AUDUBON SOCIETY.
Prof. Pearson ON His Way to the Coast
to Look After Sea-fowis.

Prof r. Gilbert Pearson of the
Normal and Industrial College was in
Raleigh last night on his way to Roa-
noke Island and the coast, where he
will look after the interest of the Au-
dubOn Society
Speaking of the work of the society
in the eastern part of the State, Prot.
Pearson said that the vigilance OF the
wardens on the coast had resulted al
ready in a marked increase among the
sea fowl and coast birds which had
been almost annihilated by the hunt
erS. who shot them on their nesting
grounds to get their feathers for milli-
merry purposes. This slaughter he
says, has already been greatly decreas-
ed, and last year he knows that at
least 1000 young birds were raised on
the banks.
The society now has over fifty ward
ems in the State, some of them en-
ployed at good salaries on full time,
who are engaged in protecting game
and song birds, prosecuting Violators
of the law, and educating the people
to a knowledge of the usefulness of
the various forms of bird-life.

NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE.
Ex-Sheriff j. II. Arlington Has Turn
for the Worse.

EX-Sheriff John p. Arlington, who
suffered a stroke Of apopleXy on Mon
day evening last, was reported last
night to be in an extremely critical
condition and it was barely hoped that
he would survive until morning. Since
he suffered the stroke, he has never
regained consciousness aHu, despite
the efforts of physicians has slowly but
surely grown weaker and weaker.
Yesterday afternoon however, there
came a decided change for the worse
and last night the doctors in attend
ance had practically abandoned hope
of his recovery. All Of the family were
at his bedside and it seemed that thc
end was only delayed for little time.
Sheriff Arlington who held an
important position in the office OF
State Treasurer Lacy, has been known
by nearly everyone in the State. His
convictions were always positive and
he was strong and lasting friend. He
was active in politics, a good fighter,
but man who did not hold on to
bitterness. In Raleigh he has been
extremely popular and the quality OF
his open-hearted and cheerful deport-
ment will be badly missed by many
who are grieved at his untimely i'll
ness. No man enjoyed life more or
looked in better physical condition,
facts which add TO the pity of his sud
den fate.

emphatically to the public that | have
never been in favor of the Liquor
Dealers Association and l believe that
it has done a great deal to aid towards
destroying the liquor business in this
State. and the use of my name at
Greensboro as one of it's Central COM
mttee was unauthorized, and without
any knowledge of mine. | have al
ways been a Democrat of the straight

Democratic ticket and have never,
since | have been a man, aided to fos-
ter any man or association in any eff
fort to injure the Democratic, cause.
| wish to say further that l am sorry
l have been put in this position con-
corning the alleged appointment, and
will, as / ever have done, vote a
straight Democratic ticket from Presi
dent down to constable. no matter who
the nominees OF the party may be, as
| have confidence in my party and its
nominees, whether for the Watts law
or against the Watts law; whether fc.
prohibition or against prohibition;
whether for the dispensary or against
the dispensary If they are rominees
of the Democratic party. they will re-
ceive my cordial support. l was in
the liquor business for several years
and voted against the dispensary IN
this city, but when it was carried |
bowed to the will of the people, and
as a good Democrat, / was willing to
abide the result, and have never
thought otherwise.
I have my honest, conscientious
opinion about all public matters, and
| try to have the courage to live up
to my convictions, but I accord to 9TH
ers the same honesty of purpose, and
loyalty to convictions by which I en-
deavor to measure my own conduct.
