Xhie public school cliildren of
Virginia have determined Ito saye
Robih Red Breast from exterthi-
nation. they will present iji a
few days a petition to the Gener
al Assembly asking that there be
no open season on robins.
The petition, copies of which
are being signed nowand are be
ginning to come into the office
of the Superintendent of Public
Instruction, reads as follows:
"Whereas, the robin is a beau
tiful song bird, and is useful to
farmers because of the numerous
insects it destroys, and whereas
Virginia permits this bird to be
shot from February 15 to April
1, when it is returning to his
home to make happy thousands
of cfaldren in our State and na^
tion,; who always welcome the
‘reSibreast’ as the joyous har
binger of spring.
“Therefore, we, the children
of Vir^nia, whose names are
hereunto subscribed, respectfully
and earnestly petition ybur hon
orable body to, so amend the laws
of the Stite 'that in future it
shali be illegal to kill these beau
tiful birds, V^hich we so much
lov0 to have ibout o«)r homes.

life conditions in America and
the promotions of Agricultural
conditions. Here is a country
that has such vast agricultur
al possibilities, that, it is assert
ed the state of Texas alone if
properly cultivated would fur
nish substance for the entire
v/orld. Yet the agiaicultural
areas are but scratched over and
immeasur^le tracts are nOt sus
ceptible of cultivation under
present conditions. North Caro
lina is not one of the major ag
ricultural states, but is one of
the most important in respect
to the variety and diversity of
its agricultural conditions.
The young men who hurry off
to the cities would, many of
them do infinitely better to re
main upon the farms. Here
then, is a proposition of the
widest interest to keep the
young men at the plow and to
make the profits of the plough
worth while, and at the same
time better country life condit
ions so as to add to the dignity
and lighten the labor of farm

Pittsburg, Jan 15.- The Hev.
W. D. McFarland, former head
of the academic department of
the Pittsburg high School, and
well known as an educator, is be
ing sought by the Pittsburg po
lice tonight in connection with
the death in a local hospital of
nilsie Dodd Coe, aged who
died last Friday. Miss Coe had
been Dr. McFarland’s secretary
and before her death she m^de
an ante-mortem statement to a
deputy coroner in which she im
plicated Dr. McFarland and one
Rollin McConnell, who is now
employed in the Westinghouse
offices at Chicago.
At an inquest held today and
attended by the district attorney
evidence was presented to show
thst Dr. McFarland left here in
1910 to take up missionory work
in Tennesjsee with headquarters
at Greenville^ According to the
young woman’s statement Dr.
McFarland was known to her
.mother and sister as a physician
and twice since he left the city
had rettUf hed at her re(iue8t.

Habeas Corpus Proceedings.
Greensboro, Jan. 15.—Habeas
corpus proceedings to secure the
release of Frank Wineskie, on
the grounds that he is being il
legally ‘held, were instituted be
fore and heard by Judge C. M,
Cook this afternoon. At the
close of an exhaustive argument
by counsel for the State and de
fense. Judge Cook announced
that he would render his decision
tomorrow. In the meantime
Wineskie is being held in default
of $5,OOC bond required by Jus
tice Collins. He is in the custody
of an officer at a local hotel.
The defense based its grounds
for the writ of habeas corpus up
on a special act of the Legislature
establishing the High Point re
corder’s court and giving it ex
clusive jurisdiction and cases of
this nature. It asked that the
prisoner be released. The State
contended that the powers of the
magistrate were ancient and con
stitutional and that the Legisla-,
ture had no legal right to annul
his powers. It was suggested
that in the event Judge Cook
granted the writ, he then issue a
bench warrant. Should Wines
kie, be released, counsel state
that he will be again indicted in
High Point, provided Judge Cook
does not issue a bench warrant.
