CREATE OYSTER
 TAX COMMISSION
Probable UpshOt of Warfare of Woodruff
 and Bivalve Owners.

Hartford, May 13.-The executive ses- sion before the shell fish committee re- garding the increase of the tax on Con necticut oysters was continued yeSter- day, following Governor Woodruff s statements. Captain Thomas H. Ham ilton of New London. an oyster ex- pert. was before the committee for more thnIf an hour giving suggestions. He is familiar with the oyster trade, not only in this state. but in Rhode Island.
 It is learned that the upshot of the deliberations of the shell fish commit tee on the matter of properly increas- ing the oyster ground tax may take the form of suggesting to the legisla- ture the appointment of a special cOm- mission to place an assessment valua- ation upon the Connecticut oyster beds in the sound.
 This commission. if created. will pos commissioner. the state comptroller an expert oyster man. and several 1egis- lators.
 Its work will occupy a space of at least three months, and it's cost will run from $5,OO0 to $10,OO0. It is cal culated that it will increase the tax able valuation of the oyster grounds and equitably.
 While there is opposition to this move in some quarters. many of the oyster growers are in favor of it, and it is believed that most of them are especially desirous of a fair valuation upon their under water properties.
 The idea is that the commission shall visit all of the taxable oyster grounds in the state and make expert eXamin- ationS with dredges. etc., which shall be conclusive in establishing the value of Connecticut oyster lands.

 Consul William R. Bishop

New York. May 13.-William 1T. Bish- op. American Consul at Palermo, Sicily. who was threatened with death just after the assassination of Lieut.. Joseph PetroSino in the streets of Palermo. is now in this city. He is not telling his abiding place. for it seems desirable on more than one ac- count that members of'the Black Hand in New York should not learn of his whereabouts.
 MT. Bishop has received two letters warning him that unless he ceases lending a hand in the search for Lieut.. Petrosino's asSassainS and in the de portation of several of the notorious Italian blackmailers now in this coun- try he will meet the fate which befe1l Commissioner Bingham'S special agent. From the time the first warning letter was received until he was safely on his way to this country MT. Bishop was under the constant surveillance of two Italian detectives. They even went on board the Cunard liner Car pathia with the Consul and his wife and remained until the vessel had cleared Palermo.

Townsville Man Suicides,

The masville was shocked this
morning as the news of the death
of Adison Cox was spead over the
community. Having deliberately
taken a pistol, placed it to his
head Mr.. Cox blew out his brains
without any warning to the fami-
ly or anybody.
He had just finished breakfast
and as he was leaving the dining
room he asked one of the boarders
to mail his letters. Going to his
~lfe's room and kissing her and
his little child goodbye before
leaving the house for his work as
ne was accustomed to do, he went
upstairs, laid down on the bed on
his face, placed a revolver to his
right temple and pulled the trig-
ger.

A Touching Incident.

The Standard says a Concord
widow in destitute circum tances,
with two sick children, has en-
gagged in cutting wood to make q
support, and that few days ago
she stood at a woodpile all day
and chopped wood in a cold driz-
zling rain. Such things ought
not to be in any community. The
woman is evide ntly not lacking in
energy and she should be helped
and given more suitable work.
Statesville Ian ndmark.
The above opens a broad ques-
tion. Intellectually, financially,
in opportunity, advantage, ETC.,
there are great differences. Some
are highly favored in one or more
of the above and abuce the priv
leges. Others improve them and
thrive. Still there are many 9th
ers more unfortunate. Either
through misfortune, inability OF
lack of gift or advantage, they
trudge along and often come to
want. It is here where "our
brothers keeper" part comes in
the poor are with US always and
our duty is plain. And no woman
in North Car,'lina, with two sick
children should lie forced to chop
wood all day i'll the cold, drizzling

The South Will do as II Chooses.

"The South, the section that
has given more or less trouble in
politics for a good many years, is
again being brought to the fore
ground in the hope Of changing
it's political complexion and hav-
ing it otherwise mend it's ways.
The Tradesman has nothing to
do with politics further than urg-
ing all those who have vested in
terests to exercise their franchise
rights and thus insure a safe ad-
mlnistration, whether local or
national. At the same time the
harp'ug again on the "Solid
South" is not to our liking, nor is
it, we believe to that of the ma.
iority of our citizens. If ou1
national administration cannot
do any given section of the coun.
try full justice without stopping
to inquire whether the section is
"Sol1d or otherwise" it is time te
look after the national end and
not the sectional.
The South, like the North, East
and West, is going to do just ex'
actly what it believes is right and
neither threats nor promises il
going to change it politically Of
any other way. 1t is a section
that has worked out it's own sal
vation thus far, and, it is crafty
ing to add, reaches a point in in
dustrial Importance that assures
it's being able to continue doing
so.-Chattanooga Tradesman.

The Temperance Wave.

King Canute tried with broom
to brush back the waves from the
shore, where his throne had been
placed. With equal success, but
with more show of temper, the
governor of Tennessee tried to
prevent the passage of statewide
prohibition law. Tennessee Joins
North Carolina, Georgia. Ala.
bama, Mississippi and Oklahoma
in determination to remove the
saloon from debauching the youth
and exerting an undue influence
in politics.
Even where State prohibition is
not popular, the temperance move
ment grows. Baltimore has 400
fewer saloons than it had one year
ago, produced in part by increas-
ing license from $500 to $3.50 and
largely by the temperance senti.
ment. A prominent citizen of
Richmond who was in Louisbure
last week, gave it as his opinion
that Richmond would vote out the
saloon at the first opportunity
Four unties in Indiana voted on
the question Of c unity prohibition
on Tuesday, all four voting "dry'
by majorities exceeding 1900
Hamilton county piling up 2,461
against the saloon. Last month
three other Indiana counties yot
ed on the question and the saloor
was voted out of every one, max.
ing seven Indiana counties votine
dry. Only eleven out of all thu
precincts in the seven count;a,
gave wet majority.-News and

Hurt by Explosion.

Leroy Gillespie, Of the county,
was the victim Of q serious acci-
dent u few days ago. Mr.. Gillis-
Die lives ut Mill Bridge on the
farm of J. Rowan Davis and has
had temporary charge of store
at that place. While cleaning up
tho store he found a small pack
age which aroused his curiosity.
Mr.. Gillispie opened the package
and found that it contained some
small dynamite cartridges, such
as farmers often use when clearing
land. Mr.. Giilispie. evidently
did not know at the time what
the stuff was, or he would have
handled it more tenderly, while
picking at the stuff with knife,
or pin, it exploded and made con-
siderable racket. Three fingers
on Mr.. Gillespie's left hand we're
so badly injured that amputation
was necessary while one of the
fingers on the other hand was
badly lacerated. In addition to
this his chm was badly fractured,
The victim of this unfortunate
accident is an excellent man and
his friends sympathize with him
strongly. A negro who was help
ing Mr., Gillispie, ran out as soon
as the explosion occurred and is
possibly going yet.

A Counterfeit Blind Tiger.

A fake blind tiger, it Is said,
did thriving business here last
Saturday night. The tiger would
spot a man whose looks betokened
great thirst, aud approaching the
thirsty one would whisper, "Don't
you want to buy some corn?" If
the man approached expressed a
desire to invest his coin in "corn"
and they do say that there were
many corn buyers running at large
last Saturday night-the purchas-
or was told to meet the seller at a
designated place and time-the
time being mighty soon after the
deal was made. The seller showed
up at the appointed place and
time named with pint or quart
of corn and got his money for it
at the high price of SOC a pint.
There was not so much fake about
the transaction after all, for it
was not corn juice that was sold,
but just plain corn, sound and fit
for use. And they do say further
that there was no cheating as to
quantity, no short weight or meas.
ure, full and fair measure being
gwen. A pint of &C cd clean white
corn for half dollar. The price
was high sure, but those who bar.
gained for pure corn have no kicl
coming, because they did not get
corn juice Monroe Journal.

Dwight the 9.year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. A. Crowell, on
Sunday lost the thumb, index and
middle fugers on his left hand
and the index fuger on his right
hand as the result of a dynamite
cap exploding IN his hands The
cap was an old one and was
thought to be empty. Dwight
was using hat pin to pick out
what he thought WAS dirt
when the explosion fol-
lowed. Only enc joint of each
fngsr was removed. DR.. V. A.
Whitley, fortunately for the boy.
was passing at the time, and
prompt attention was given him.
