Developments in the lumber theft case Friday, which was uncovered by Deputy Sheriff c. c. Green early ill the week, cons sted of the arrest of John Brunson, a we'll known dairy man, and w. c. Wall, proprietor of a grocery store in Greenville, on charges of receiving stolen property. Both admit having bought lumber from Burris but say they were not aware that he had stolen ii.
 The officers are of the cp non that Burris and his accomplices have been carrying on their unlawful trade for some time as investigations disclose The Identity of number. of people who purchass'd lumber from the negroes and. warrants are nowin the hands of Deputy Constable D. w :; Stewart for two who will probably be arrested today on charge of re- ceiying stolen propsrty.;. lt is 'appar- ent that most of those who bought the pur!oined lumber were acting in good faith and were ignorant of the fact that Bussey was dsposing of stolen property.
 Brunson, who is we'll known, was released on his own recogni1ance, but it is said that Walls will make bond. Their hearings were set fdr next Tuesday and the four negroes who were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Green will also be g ven a hearing on that date.

Retardlno Home Influence.

A writer in the Boston Transcript remarks upon the new factors which home relations and absorb so much time and attention that home is a less constant factor and seems tc the child less important than it did 2 generation ago. z
 "The school. not only with it's regu- lar work, but with it's athletics and af- filiated social interests, demands an increasing amount of time. The church, with it's many organizations. calls for n ny evening hours as yell as for large part of Sunday. Tn some communities the children seem to have about as few hours for free, quiet home life az the busiest of busi- ness men, and the mother needs the best methods as we'll as the finest of spirit in the ever lessening amount of time she has to exert those inftu' ences which are recognized as the most potent as well as the most up- lifting in life. The church is making mistake in pushing so vigorously missionav' lila9thropic and social organizat for women. while rale- gating to minor place that organisa- tion whose aim is to strengthen ths very heart of the social organism A7gshe home. More attention should hs given to the hcnoring and helping cf mcthaN- hood"

LITTLE DEMAND FOR LEECHES
Almost Nothing Compared With What 1t Used to Be Only a Few
 Years Ago.

Forty years ago there were in Paris alone 10 wholesale dealers in leeches, each of whom sold between 100000 and 100000 leeches monthly, for which they received on an aver age about $50 thousand.
 Today there is only one dealer in the capital and he gets from six to seven francs ($I.20 to $1.40) a hum dred. His name is Leya and he han dies about 100000 per month, his best market being the United States. He has sometimes half a million in stock.
 In former, times the Paris poor law administration purchased S0,O00 francs ($16.000) worth a year; this was in the '30s and '40s of the 18th century; tho administration now finds itself amply supplied with $40 worth annually.
 The great breeding ground for French leeches was the marshes around Bordeaux. A poor peasant named Bechade was the creator of the industry. He rented a tract of marsh land for about $60, and this. when properly stocked with leeches, became worth $5.000..
 Bechade collected the leeches by buying all the worn out horses he could get hold of and driving them into the marshes five or six times a month, especially in April, May, June. October and November. Be. chade's business flourished, and when he died he was worth 1,0O0.OO0f. : After while the French leech trade was ruined, not only on account of the great decline in the demand. but on account of the accessibility of other sources of supply brought about by the improved facilities of trans- port, fast trains bringing them in a short, tirno from Turkey, Bohemia and Dalmatia, and to more limited ex- stert from Algeria and Russia.

AN OFF YEAR
FOR FISHING
Report Reports Little Doing
in That Vicinity.
gpsctaI to the EVENING NEWS.

Keyport, August An off year
in the fishing business is being ex-
perienced this season locally by
those who engage in this work for
their livelihood, and also the large
number of hook and line parties
even enjoy the pleasure of reeling
them in. Not only in the Keyport
waters are the fish unusually scarce.
but from along the fishing grounds
of the Raritan and Lower New York
bays and still further away, along
the Jersey sea shore the fishermen
are doing more Or less complaining.
Early in the season there were
made a few good catches of the blue
fish In seine nets, but for several
weeks, when the season should be at
its best, the fish are not to be found
by the most experienced fishermen.
That blusfshing will probably be-
come better is heralded by the fact
that on the first of the week some
fairly good hauls were again made
in the nets near Morgan and Tues
day local fishermen caught a fair
amount in their bluefish gill nets.
This is very encouraging to those
who make 1t their business and that
probably q run of weakfish will ap-
pear tempts the hook and line ang-
lers to get on the fishing ground each
day if only to return home with an
eel or two and a few crabs.
