SYMPATHETIC PROSECUTOR
He's Sorry the Man who Robbed Him
 Got Four Years.

William Ellwander. who was con- name of George Thorton to a pay check which had been made out to Thorton, was yesterday sentenced by Judge Kent to four years in the ter ritorial prison. Last night Thorton, who is in a chronic state of drunken ness. called at the office of the sheriff to know what he could do for Ellwan- der. It struck him that the sentence was a pretty stiff one. Though Ell wander had played it low down on him he was rather sorry that he got such dose as the court had served out to him. If Thorton had it to do over again he would not have pulled the lever which set the machinery in mo- ton.
 R. Islas, who was convicted of grand larceny in stealing a watch from the person of John Rousseau, was sentenc- ed for three years.
 The only criminal case tried was that of Pablo Dias, charged with the burglary of a Southern Pacific car at Tempe. He was convicted and re- manded for sentence tomorrow.
 In the civil suit of John A Sturges against Mallory w. Milligan, the ac- tion was reopened on the motion of the plaintiff for the introduction of further proof. The plaintiff was given judg- ment and foreclosure was ordered.
 One of the important criminal cases of the term will be tried today, that of Pedro Surita for the murder of an- other Mexican by the name of Medinas at Buckeye a couple of months ago. On the motion of his attorney, Captain J. L. B. Alexander, J. F. Keneaiey was also entered for the defense

The well known music house of A.

The well known music house of A. Redewill is not satisfied simply to get to the top of the ladder and then stop. MT. Redewin wants to run the poles up into space and tack on few more rungs for fear some one will catch up with him. Since last June MT. Rede- will has disposed of seventy-eight pianos and organs and is just now get ting ready to put on his coat for the winter trade. He will leave for Sonora fin a few days and will take in" Guay- mas and Hermosillo on his travels. He proposes to place a car load of instru- ments in that state and he will prob ably do it. He believes he has a mis- sion, and it is to civilize the whole southwest through the refining influ- ence of music. By strict business methods and honest dealing he has thus far made great progress along the line of his theory.

TAXES POURING IN-Taxes 2

TAXES POURING IN-Taxes are being paid this year with unprecedent- ed promptness but there are still a great many tax payers who have not yet come forward. The time for pay ment without the penalty will expire on December II, and the law will be observed to the day in order that the books of the treasurer may be kept in proper shape. It will also be of advan tage otherwise for tax payers to come forward early in order to insure them selves against paying more than they ought to pay in this way: In each of the school districts there is a different rate, in some of them it is much high CT than in others. The assessor is not always able to tell just where the dis trict lines run, and there have been instances of property owners of one district being listed in another where the rate is higher. In the hurry of the last few days of tax paying the treas urer and his clerks will not be able to make corrections of errors of this kind if any should be found to nave occur red.

THE WEEKLY TAR HEEL.

So Mr.. Blackburn has put his long
looked-for paper afoat at last The
first issue made its appearance this
week. Though published from Green's
boro the printing is done on the presses
of a Raleigh job office. From the edi-
torial matter Of the first issue we
would say that tie chief aim of the
new paper is to fight the republican
daily which preceded it's initial num-
Der by only a week or so. The Tar
Heel makes several vicious attacks on
the other paper and on that wing Of
the republican party which is under
stood to be backing the latter Below
we give some extracts from its edito-
rial columns:
North Carolinians. of whatever
creed or party, are proverbially slow TO
move, but, when once aroused to
sense of wrong. they know how to dig
the grave for tyrant or boss. The day
of the political cZar is passing. With
out collar, the Weekly Tar Heel is in
the breach to the finish. 1t demands
the unconditional surrender of boss
ism. Let false prophets beware ana
let towards be damned
1T is notorious that close corpor-
alton of petty bosses exists in nearly
every southern state who do not want
the party to succeed. They simply
want an organization large enough to
control and consume federal pie. Their
political work consists largely in
scheming for a delegation for the ma
tional convention. It is common
knowledge that this is true of North
Carolina today. The rank and file of
the eighty-two thousand republican
voters in this state and large per cent
of the independent element are look
ing to President Roosevelt for heroic
treatment of this situation"
THE Weekly Tar Heel places upon
its exchange list the name Of it's neign-
Dor, The Industrial News, and invites
it's cooperation in the fight for the
restoration to the people of their right
to control their conventions and - a.
voice in their own affairs

RICE INDUSTRY IS GROWING
United States Now Ranks Fourth In
List of Producers.


Figures compiled with the Depart-I
ment of Commerce and Labor. through
its bureau of Statistics, shows that
the United States has entered the list
of the worlds rice producing and ex-
porting countries.
Cuba alone. according 10 the depart
ment's statement. in the fiscal year
1905, took 34.316.414 pounds. against
o9S.9S3 pounds the preceding year,
the value being 1895, $40 in 1905,
against S19.9S5 in 1904.
The total value, OF rice OF domestic
production shipped out OF the country
III the fiscal year 1905, including that
to the non-contiguous territory OF the
United States, was S5,361 Gal, against
1861 ,3SI in 1900, and S16,454 in 1895.
Meantime, the imports Of rice have
fallen from practically 100000 in
1899 to S2,OO0,O0O in 1905, and for the
tirst time in the history Of the countrys
commerce the rice exports exceed in
value the rice imports. The change
it is explained, is due in part to the
large increase in production which has
recently developed in Louisiana and
Texas and in part 10 the new relations
Of the United States with certain
rice>consuming communities, especi-
ally those of Porto Rico, Hawaii and
Cuba. the two former through annex
alton and the latter through the re-
ciprocity treaty.
Formerly rice was grown only in
the coast counties of the Carolinas
and Georgia and Mississippi delta. but
few years ago it was discovered
through experiments made by the De-
partment of Agriculture that certain
prairie lands in Southern Louisiana
and Texas, which had been formerly
considered fit only for grazing, were
peculiarly adapted to rice culture.
The discovery, through the joint work
OF the Department of Agriculture and
the Geological Survey, that this area
was especially available for rice pro-
ductiOn resulted in a large movement
Of population from the States Of the
Middle West to this rice-prOducing
section, and, as Il consequence, the
production of rice IN the United States
has grown from less than 100000, 900
pounds in 1880 and 131,OOO.0O
pounds in 1890 to nearly 1000. .OOO,-
900 pounds in 1904, and the United
States now takes rank among the rice
producing countries of the world. At
present the United States apparently
ranks fourth in the list of rice-prOduc-
ing countries Of the world, the fic-
ures of exports in the latest available
years being: India, 1888, ,GOO,O 600
pounds: Siam, 1893 100000 pounds:
French IndO-China1 ,514. 100000 pounds

Old Doctors in Alabama.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In an editorial note in your issue of this morning you mention the fact that ex- Governor Garcelon of Maine is 92 years old, and still practicing medicine If you examine the register of physicians in the transaction of the State Medical associa- tion, page 527, you will SC that Dr. Francis John Baptist Roemer was granted a diplo- ma by the University of Louisiana in 1886, and 1t is presumed he is alive and prac- titioner. In the same volume you will see that Dr. James Milford Williams of Gen. treville, Bibb county, has been practicing since 1SS9 and that Dr. Phillip Houston Brothers of Calhoun county is still an active member of his local society, and engaged in the honorable calling of re- lieving the sick and distressed. These three old patriarchs are probably the old est doctors in Alabama, and should be objects of interest to all the people, and especially to the doctors of Alabama.

 Street Committee Meeting
 Today at Noon.
STREET PAVING CON lRACIS

Several important matters will come before the City Council at its regular semi-monthly meeting tonight. The most important of these will probably be the 'anti-graft ordinance. At the last meet ing of the council the proposed ordinance was referred to the judiciary committee for consideration, after the report of the special committee recommending that the ordinance be adopted, had been rejected. The judiciary committee, of which Alder man Fulgnum of the Sixth ward is chair man, will meet this afternoon at o'clock In the Mayors office for the purpose of passing upon the matter.
 The street committee will meet today al noon in the office of the city engineer for the purpose of opening bids for paving the following streets and avenues with bltuminous macadam.
 Second avenue from Twenty-second street to Twenty-fourth street; Nine teenth street from Fifth to Sixth avenues; Twentieth street from Avenue B to Ave- nue H. It is understood that about half dozen bids for this work will be presented at the committee meeting to- udy, anu LutIt ildS bO opihS iiNtASotAiA5 developments.
 The park committee, of which Alder man B. H. Cooper is the chairman, will probably report on the matter of allow ing the United States government the right to erect weather observatory in either Capitol or West End park. Some opposition to granting the concession has developed and the report of the committee is awaited with interest.
 The lights and telephone committee held a meeting last night in the office of the Mayor Chairman Klotz, Mayor Ward Alderman Barbour, Alderman Heidt, City Engineer Kendrick and City Clerk Mur- ray, who Is the secretary of all of the standing committees, being present. The representatives of the press who were present were invited out of the meeting, but the Mayor declared that only busi- ness of a routine nature would be trans acted at the meeting. A report will be made to the city council tonight.
 Other standing committees of the City Council will meet today and pass upon such matters as may come before them.
