n BITTERLY SAD STORY.
1t Tells of Thurman Treatment Re-
cciyed by Helpless Girl.

Wilmington, n. c., July 26.-The
Evening Dispatch tells narrowing
story of the treatment received by
young woman named Lizzie owens, of
that city, from her inhuman step
father and mother. 1t appears that
upon strong complaint officers went
to the home of the GaryS, who are
her unnatural parents and demanded
to see the girl. This was at first re-
fused, but being told to consider
yielded to the demand.
Lizzie owens then appeared, d
hunted, unhappy looking creature
who aroused the sympathy of all who
saw her. She told a terrible story of
cruel and inhuman treatment which
was eloquently borne out by her APP
pearance. The husband and wife
had kept her confined for four years,
had beaten her and otherwise mai
treated her and had used every er-
fort, it seemed, to drive her to in
sanity or death-it appeared to matter
to them very little which. And all
for what? The explanation given Is
that Miss Owens has coming to her d
few thousand dollars, and the step.
father and mother were apparently
bent on securing this money at any
cost. Both have been placed under
a bond to answer, on August 18th, the
charge of cruel and inhuman treat
ment.
In the meanwhile arrangements
have been made for the immediate
care and protection of the unfortunate
Miss Owens.

effect savings of 100000 a year. He
submitted a financial report for the
first six months which was pronounce
ed very satisfactory by the directors.
AT tomorrow's meeting it is quite
probable the position of chairman will

others was referred to a committee
consisting of directors McCook, Whit

NEGRO SURROUNDED BY FIRE.
With Armed Men Awaiting His Dash

(By the Associated Press.


PIainfeld, n. j., July 26.-Baffied
by treacherous swamps and thick
woods, a posse of farmers and police
has surrounded Charles Long, a ne
gro, accused of numbering Matthew
Cunningham, of Trenton. This ar
ternoon they set fire to more than fir
teen acres of shrubs and bushes on
the outskirts of Dismal Swamp" be-
tween South Planfied and NewmarK-
eft, n. j., in an effort to drive the man
out of his hiding place.
A brisk wind blowing over the
swamp from the direction in which
the fire was started took the smoke
through the woods and it is not
thought that Long will be able to
stay where he is and live. In readi-
ness for his appearance the members
of the posse are armed with shot
guns and should Long make any at
tempt at resistance he will be killed
without hesitation.

Entomologist Franklin Sherman, Jr.
The Bulletin is of the size of an
unusually large pamphlet, covering
forty-eight book size pages. 1t is a
very exhaustive work, and Will be OIL
invaluable worth to the farmers OF
the State The following paragraphs
are taken from the introduction:
"Forty-seven per cent (nearly one
half) of all the land planted in crops
in North Carolina each year is de-
voted to corn. The money value OF
this crop is estimated at $21,OO0,OO0.
Insects are estimated to destroy ap-
proximately one-tenth of our total
value of crop products each year. Al
lowing that corn suffers only It's pro-
portional one-tenth of damage, we are
brought to the conclusion that the
corn crop in North Carolina suffers
an average loss of two million dollars
each year from insect pests.
Nor can it be said that this is ali
exaggerated estimate. What with
wire worms, cut worms, root worms,
bud worms, stalk borers, chinch bugs,
weevils and others, the corn plant GER
tainly suffers its full share. The
writer has frequently known OF cases
in this State where one species of pest
alone has destroyed from one-half to
ee-fourths of the entire crop; "a
total loss has been reported in some
instances.
THE object of this Bulletin is to
show where this occurs. describe the
insects responsible for it, and set
forth the remedies or methods which
may be employed in preventing or
avoiding these injuries.

port the landing of Japanese battal-
ion and the seizure of light house
on the Siberian coast near Dekastries,
a post formerly called Alexandrovsk,
200 miles north of Vladivostock, after
a preliminary Smelling by torpedo boat
deStroyers.
Military officials here attach impor-
lance to the episode only in connec-
ton with the Sakhalin campaign, and
say that as the landing was effected
at a place where the Straits of Tar
tary, between Sakhalin and the main
land are narrOwest, it apparently is
part of the strategy of the Japanese
to prevent the escape of the Russian
garrison in Sakhalin across the straits.
They add that the landing is too far
north to have any bearing on the
main campaign or on operations
against VladiVOStock.
