Modern Fashion Responsible for
Destruction of Bird Life.

The following extracti is taken from
the Winston-Salem Sentine's report
of lecture delivered recently in that
city by T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary
of the North Carolina Audubon So
ciety:
Why is it that the government ap-
propriates $50, 900 annually for the
protection of the wild birds of the
country? Not because of their aes-
thetic beauty and sweet songs, but
| on account of their tremendous
economic value. 1t is estimated that
| the agricultural and horticultural
department loses one billion dollars
yearly by insects, hence the enor-
nous value of birds who live on in
sect diet Many of our wild birds
have become wholly extinct, like
the wild pigeons, that generation
or two ago used to darken the sky
in their great flocks; the American
eagle is also becoming very rare. As
men destroy the forests, naturally
the birds have no homes and no feed
ing grounds. The number of sea
gulls killed for the millinary trade is
! appalling, from Cape Henry to Cape
Sable. About 100000 have been
killed on the North Carolina coast
alone. The millinary trade has we'll
nigh swept from the land certain spe-
| cies.
Surely no woman could wear an
aigrette in her hat with quiet con-
science after hearing Mr.. Parsons
description how they are obtained.
He said while there may be some
artificial wings and other feathers,
there are no artificial aigrettes, and
these beautiful white feathers can
only be obtained from the mother
bird during the nesting season. He
gave a vivid account of a visit to the
woods where aigrette hunters had
murdered and stripped all the mother
birds, leaving the tiny nestlings to
starve and die of thirst; some of them
we're found with limp necks hanging
over the edge of the nest, dying while
looking for the food which never
| came.

BISHOP GAMBLER OBJECTS.
HE Disapproveso of RockefeIler's Hook
worm Oift-Tired of the South Being
Singled Out for Such Donations.

Atlanta, Ga, dispatch, 2nd.
Declaring that the gift OF 81 ,0OO,-
900 for the investigation and cure OF
the hookworm disease is an outrage
on the South, a SANDER on this sec
ton of the country, and a dun
dunn" donation, Bishop Warren A.
Gambler. OF the Southern Methodist
Church, in his Sunday sermon made
q sensational attack on John ID.
Rockefeller.
at is to be hoped" said Bishop
Gambler, "that our people will not be
taken in by Mr. Rockefeller's vermi-
fuge fund and hookworm commits
sion. The habit of singing out the
South for all sorts of reforms, RENE
dies and enlightenment is not for our
benefit, and the too-ready acceptance
OF these things on the part OF some OF
our people is not to our credit. MIR:
Rockefeller would take charge OF
both our heads and our stomachs
and our bowels OF worms.
"For some reason self-appointed
philanthropists have taken it on
themselves to discover and proclaim
conditions in the South calculated to
create further prejudice against the
States and people OF the South as to
divert immigration and to alarm the
resident population.
"a great deal of exertion has been
required in the past to establish the
falsity of the many slanderous
charges made against the South, and
this section has not yet recovered
fully from them. Recently an cutlery
was made that the Southern people
had become the victims of a deadly
disease named 'pellagra,' which was
charged to the use of Indian corn.
The disease has been traced to south
ern Europe, where it is common, and
later information goes to show that
it was imported in the persons OF i'm
migrants.
"But the pellagra panic having
failed OF the expectant result, now
comes howl about the hookwOrm.
The South is represented to be filled
with a wretched brood of dirt eaters.
Who that knows the South can for
moment believe this?
at is time the Southern people be-
gan resenting this officious DISPOSE
ton to take care OF them which GER
tain parties are addicted to. Dona-
tions may, as easily as dunn DUN bull
let's, wound where they hit and leave
a moral poison in the hole they make
| after being received. We are certain
| ly able to take care of and to cure
| our hookworm, without Mr. Rookie
feller's million dollar dose of vermi-
fuge."
The Bishop, who was consecrated
in 1898, is 80 years of age. has been
a University president, editor Of a
religious publication and has written
books on Georgia's educational work
and other subjects. Last April he
declared that the purpose of Andrew
Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller in
giving $5S,OOO,OOO was "to dom
mate the educational interests Of this
entire country, and by the bride OF
this enormous sum of money they
have already practically succeeded"

Good Roads Again.
Salisbury Post.

SALISBURY Post.
1t is agreeable to read that the
Good Roads convention in Asheville
was well attended. There is a great
campaign of education, involving in
diligently directed effort, ahead of
those who inaugurated this move
ment. Georgia and the two Carroll
mas are just beginning to understand
the real significance of good high
ways and in almost every instance
where an aggressive fight is made the
people vote to tax themselves for
better roads, which mean millions to
the farmer to saynothing of the ben
eft and satisfaction derived from
them by others who have occasion
to use them. Every dollar spent for
permanent road improvement is
dollar wisely invested.
Gov. Kitchin's address to the con-
vention was especially practical. An
Asheville dispatch says Of it:
Governor Kitchin said that good
roads building was not new ques-
ton, that the Romans built good
roads; roads that have lasted 1000
years; they realized the value of
good roads, not only for purposes of
war but for commerce; with COM
merce came taxation and tariff. The
governor referred to the fact that
with the Romans the few controlled;
that the burden was put on the peo-
pie; that few do not control here;
that the people, all the people, con-
troll. He said it was necessary to
acquaint and educate the people
| upon the subject; that until they un-
derstood the matter they would not
burden themselves with the expense
of good roads. Governor kitchin
said that the only way to get good
roads was by honest, hard, earnest
work; that there is no slight of hand
or magical way to get them; the
people must go down in their pockets
and bear the expense. He said these
obligations were honest and fair"
That is the idea-good roads cost
money and until the money is forth
coming such roads will be lacking.

be submitted.
The H. C. Frick Coke company Is
admittedly 5000 men short of it's re-

EARL WILSON
OPERATED ON
MILDLY Injured in Football Game
Has Chance Of Recovery.
HIS NECK IS BROKEN

Surgeons Remove FRACTURED DONG
From the Fifth vertebrae and
Pressure on Spinal cord-stood the
Operation Well.
Annapolis, Md, Nov. S.-A most
delicate operation was successfully
performed upon Midshipman Earl d.
Wilson. a vertebrae of whose neck
was broken during the football game
on Oct. 16. The laminae or outward
covering were cut away from four OF
the vertebras of the neck in order to
remove pressure on the spinal cord,
and the covering of the spinal cord
was removed and the cord thoroughly
inspected. Portions Of the fractured
bone from the fifth vertebrae were
removed, but it was found that the
greatest injury to the cord had been
eccasioned by dislocation OF the
fourth vertebrate.
The cord was found to be intact,
though in very bad condition at the
point of injury. 1t is believed that all
pressure has been removed and that
Wilson's chance of ultimate recovery
is greatly improved. In successfully
passing through the anaesthia VIII
son has accomplished a great deal, as
this was one of the greatest dangers
connected with the operation.
Chances of Recovery Increased.
The operation took place after
consultation with the full approval OF
Midshipman Wilson himself, and his
father, West B. Wilson, of Covington,
KY, who is here. Wilson's chances OF
recovery are now greatly increased.
No signs Of a diminution of the par
alysis have appeared yet, nor are they
expected until the spinal cord will
have sufficient time to resume more
nearly normal condition. Should the
paralysis leave, Wilson will have had
no bad effects from the accident ex'
cept that the spinal cord will not be
20 well protected He will not, how
ever have to use any artificial support
for his neck or head.
Wilson was injured in the game
against the Villa Nova team, taking
place at Annapolis on Oct. 16 last. In
making a tackle in the open field, his
head was knocked sharply upward and
to the side and the injuries inflicted
After being removed to the naval hos
pital, it was found that Wilson was
completely paralyzed in his limbs and
body below the neck, and there has
been no lessening of the paralysis
since. There was no chance of i'm
provement but through an operation
and the danger of this very great,
owing to the nearness of the seat OF
injury to the spinal cord, and also
the danger of administering an anaes-
| thetic.
