Shad Fishery.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The most
serious condition now confronting the
American fishing industry is the failure
of the States to afford adequate pro-
lection to migratory fishes in State and
interstate waters.
This is the serious note Of warning
sounded by George NJ. Bowers. United
States Fish Commissioner. in his annual
report made public today Concerning
shad fishing, Mr.. Bowers says
North Carolina stands out as the only
State among all the States in which the
bureau engages in the cultivation Of
shad where the general decline Of this
fishery has been arrested The i'm
mediate effect of sensible protective
measures in this State shows the re-
suits that may be expected from similar
legislation for the various important
streams. like the Potomac. the Susque-
hanna and the Delaware, in which the
shad has been persistently destroyed
year after year without any regard for
the future.

land tuberculosis Association was open
to the public the latter half of last week
at the Court House. but on account of
Christmas being SO near at hand. few
were able to visit it. Those who saw
it. however felt greatly benefited.
Mr. Roy Stockwell. the assistant sec
rotary of the Association. after talking
the question over with number of
people in town. has decided to leave the
exhibit here until after the holidays.
1t will accordingly be re-opened at the
Court House the first week in January.
Mr.. Stockwel. in referring to this
change in plans, said "The interest
manifested in Snow Hill has been nothing
like that which tn exhibit has aroused
in other places. People have been too
busy with their Christmas arrange
ments to give 1t any attention, and
am convinced that there are a great
many people here who would like very
much to visit the exhibit but have sim
ply been too busy We can make our
visit mean something if we come at the
right time. If did not think there
was a real work to be done here.

that is not the case

The MESSENGER goes to press
today Thursday because to-
morrow is Christmas day and
that is one day i'll the year
when the wheels do not turn

it is necessary to go to press one

turn to get out the paper on
New Years day.
We trust that each and every

In our next issue it will be
our purpose To tell you some
thing about the plans of the

round we hope that all who
owe for the paper will come or
send the amount Of their sub

dence of this fact we would

sENGER TO read the following
extract from an announcement
made by Mr.. Frank Munsey in
his Baltimore News last Satur-
day. Mr.. Munsey said
"The cost of newspaper pub
fishing is going up by leaps and
bounds. The increase is felt all
along the line At the present
price of printing we do not get
enough from sales and subscrip-
tions to pay for the white pa
per alone and the price for pa
per is increasing all the time. "
Mr.. Munsey says the publishers
of Baltimore have made him a
proposition to increase the
price of al! the daily papers to
two cents a copy, but he has
declined TO make the increase,
proposing to stick it out as long
as possible.
The MESSENGER is only one
dollar a year but we must have
that dollar or else we cannot
continue to send the paper.

Pittsburg Bank Robbers Forced to

Pittsburg.-Police officials here have
received news of the torturing of two
local men, who were arrested recently
in Mexico City, Mexico, on charge of
robbing a bank messenger. William
Moffatt and Edward Maloney are the
men, and the police here say they were
well known to them before leaving for
Mexico.
Two companions escaped the officers
when the Pittsburgers were arrested,
and the Mexican police demanded their
names. Refusing to betray their COM
panions, the men alleged that they were
strapped by the wrists to the bars of
their cell, while the officials, with
forceps, tore the nails from their hands.

Mr.. Hough's inquiry in this respect

these made no effort TO conceal their
arms. The demonstration becsme SO
great when it became noised abo It that

Mrs. Powell was at home alone. The
house was locked up down stairs, as
Mrs. Powell had been choked and
beaten into unconsciousness in her
home by negro week ago.
