The Robesonian. [volume] (Lumberton, N.C.) 1870-current, 1908-12-24

From all the information OBJ
tainable before the trial it seem
ed advisable to ask for a verdict
in the second degree, but after
the testimony Of Norton himself
Judge Sutton stated that both
men ought to have been hanged.
Norton testified that he and
White, both armed with guns,
waited for Tolar for a while
under the house, that they
finally decided he was not COM
ing and went into the house
and when he did come White
shot him. 1t seemed to the court
after Norton's testimony that it
was a clear case of premeditateC
murder, and, if each charged the
other with doing the shooting
Norton's testimony convicted
both of lying armed in wait fol
the man.

Eight Bales From Four Acres.

Monroe Enquirer.
Mr.. Rufus J. Wentz, of west
Goose Creek township, had four
acres in cotton this year and
from that four acres he has
gathered eight bales, a little
over $500 pounds of lint. Mr..
Wentz's cotton attracted atten-
ton for miles around, a large
number of farmers riding over
to the cotton patch just to see it,
and it is worth ones while to see
it.

SUGAR.
Average Citizen Consumes Hall
His Own Weight Yearly.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle.
Once in while, the Bureau of
Statistics of the Department of
Commerce and Labor sends out
some statistical information cal
culated to hold attention. For
instance, its figures on sugar.
It tells US that the average citi-
zen of theUnited States consumes
half his own weight in sugar ev-
cry year, and the sugar bill of the
country aggregates a million dol
lars for every day of the year,
and mighty little Of this sugar
is consumed in toddies, either, es-
pecially in North Carolinas The
quantity of sugar produced
in the United States, the quantity
brought from our own islands, the
quantity imported from foreign
countries, and the quantity ex-
ported, shows a total consump-
ton of from 6 to 7 billion pounds
a year, the total for the latest
year, 1907, being 7,O89, ,667, 975
pounds. Calculating this enor-
nous total at the average retail
price of At cents per pound, we
get a total Of 372 million dollars
as its cost to the consumer, or
more than a million dollars for
each of the 365 days of the year.
Dividing this total of 1909, ,667,
975 pounds by the 1907 figures
of population, we get an average
consumption for 1907 of 80 81
pounds per capita, which is more

The San Juan County Gun Club
held meeting Tuesday evening and
appointed a committee consisting of
Ed Delaney, president of the club.
j. S. Groll and j. O.. Bergman. Jr.
to draft bill for presentation to the
legislature. or resolution. embody-
ing the clubs views upon the ques-
ton of game protection. All of the
members of the club are reported to
be opposed to establishing a closed
season of several years for pheasants.
though many of them are not opposed
to a long closed season for deer.
Many residents of the county who are
not sportsmen and who are strongly
opposed to such wanton slaughter of
both deer and pheasants as took place
in this county this year. believe that
farmers and orchardists should be per-
mitted to shoot deer or other wild
game upon their own prem ises at any
time if found to b. destroying their
property. It seems hardly reasonable
that the law should protect wild ami
mails and birds in the destruction of
private property and allow the owners
no redress.

Fisheries in Danger
of Extinction

United States Fish Comm issioner
Bowers. in his annual report made
public at Washington this week,
says:
"The most serious condition now
confronting the American fishing in
dustry is the failure OF the states to
afford adequate protection to migra-
tory fishes in state and Interstate wa
ters.'
Mr.. Bowers graphically depicts the
great destruction wrought to certain
species of fish and makes an earnest
appeal for their preservation.
Pointing to the history of the New
England fisheries as warming, the
commissioner declares that most of
the states seem yet absolutely in
different to the crying needs of fish
eres for species of similar habits,
whose obliteration. he says, is certain
unless radical corrective measures are
taken. He states that the fish most
in need of consideration are the shad.
the striped bass and the sturgeon on
the Atlantic coast and the salmon on
the Pacific.
Serious concern is manifested over
the trend and condition of the SAL
mon fishery on the Columbia river.
The commissioner declares that ssfrac-
tinnal and nora0naI consid orot; ono
have been allowed to interfere with
the passage of the needed laws and
the condition remains unchanged.
The bureaus efforts in artificial
propagation are neRatived by the
states Indifference and the necessity
for federal control of the Interstate
waters in the inter est of fisheries is
thus again forcefully illustrated.

Eloquent Plea for Conserva-
ton of Natural ResourC-
es Is Made.
LEIGHTON GIVES WARNING.
FORESTS SHOULD BE PROTECT.
ED AND MINERAL WEALTH Is
RAPIDLY DIMINISHING, SAYS
CHIEF HYDROGRAPHER.

At the high school auditorium yes
terday large audience, composed of
delegates to the Federation meeting,
local business men, teachers and
school children, heard a splendid ad-
dress by M. o. Leighton, chief hydra
grapher of the United States Geologic
al Survey, on Conservation of Natural
Resources
After he had been introduced by R.
G.. Mcclure, of indianapolis, Temporal
ry chairman, Mr.. Leighton paid COM
pliment to the high school orchestra.
He said that he had spoken in nearly
every state in the union, but never be-
fore had he had such an inspiring in
PRODUCTION.
Mr.. Leighton stated that he keenly
felt his unfitness to act as substi-
tute for Clifford Pinchot, who was call
ed 1.-The most useful man in the United
States," but said that he had decided
to act as his substitute only because
he had been closely associated with
Mr. Pinchot for a number of years and
he felt that he could present his views.
I'VE Americans have inherited a
large measure of Esau's recklessness
and improvidence," stated Mr.. Leigh
ton, after he had described the biblical
tale of Esau, who sold his birthright
for dish of porridge. I'VE squander
as rapidly as possible all our natural
resources, and with glutton's appe-
tite.
I'VE have now come to the place
methods to pursue-that of Esau, the
fool, or conservation. the method of
the wise man. The latter method,
hold, is necessary for our very exist
ence," Mr.. Leighton said.
To bring this point home, Mr.. Leigh
ton referred to the exhaustion of nat
ural gas in Indiana. You can re-
permitted to flow with reckless extrav-
agance from a thousand wells in this
state. Those who protested against
this criminal waste were laughed at
and called conservative FOOLS" he said
Mr.. Leighton said that the exhaus
ton of the iron. coal and timber sup.
wlies was in sight. They will go the
way the natural gas did unless We
mend our ways he said.
1.-The American people, he said,
had used all their wonderful ingenui-
ty in inyenting devices for the more
rapid consumption of the dwindling
timber supply" He said the source
of all rivers was in high, thickly wood.
cd countries. Nature. he said, had
placed timber in such places to protect
| the river sources. but man had even
attacked such forests until their con-
Servation was now crying need.
