The slogan was a great joke for a , tline, for the students of Dean Hutch Ins' department of law were not noted . formerly for having the character of doves. For a time indeed the dean had to be the dignity of the department all alone. Dean Ilutchins clung to that slogau. He was called toMlchigan from Cor nell In 1805.

The first dredging that was done in this section was in Clark's crwl- in Lincoln; and Catawba counties in i North Carolina, when a number of wealthy landowners -purchased a 1 dredge and began operaSaons as an ex periment. Several thousand acreslof rich land -was redeemed and land that was before quoted at just a few dol lars an :acre cannot be purchased for less than $50 and $100 an acre. So well did the project succeed and so comparatively cheap is the work' that a few other sections are taking hold and investigating '. the matter. In some counties the' county commission ers are investigating, but it is prob able that in most instances the land owners will tarry the work through. It is behoved that the movement will spread rapidiy ai;d that -withi-i a few years several Ltrdied thous.ta a pro ductive acres of land will have been redemmed in the two States.

Some of the owners j of extensive apple orchards are dis tilling their apples under the provis f c . - - : ions ot ithe state law that allows" ' growers, io distill, but not to sell.

It will be alK.u the middle of Oc tober before the people of the United Slates learn their true numwr ai re veakd bv the oiliriai count of the thir teenlh census.

Thisi belief i ba cd on the fact.thajt an increase slightly la ex ces of the 13,00.0,000 increase during the previous decade would b-inr the population in 1910 to the 0.000,000 mark. About 300 of the more than 100 clerks in the Census Office are compil ing population figures only, while the others are working on other statis tics. Contrary to the general opinion all the counting or the peoples is done by hand, the tabulating machines beingmsed onlv in classification as to race, sex and other conditions. In two cities evidence of fraud has been discovered, and in one, Great Falls, Mon., a prosecution has been undertaken for fraudulent enumera tion. The Cotton Mills. Charlotte Chronicle. The season of the suspension of work in the cotton mills is nearing an end, and resumption of full time will soon be m order. The Chadwick Hoskins -chain of mills in Charlotte has resumed work and it is probable that September 1st or 15th will see all the mills in this section in opera tion again. Meantime, the value of the cotton mill as a commercial asset to a community has had a practical demonstration. The trade channels have felt the loss of the cotton mill money and the shutting down of the mills was quite a factor in the gen eral run ot dullness in business cir cles. However, conditions were such that the employes of the cotton mills suffered the minimum amount of in convenience. They had their homes to live in and their corn patches and vegetable gardens enabled them to exist in comparative comfort. It has been for them really something in the nature of a holiday. Had the short time come during the winter, when there would have ben wood and coal bills to meet and all provisions to buy, the situation would have been far different. As it is, the closing of the shut-down season finds the mill employes in good shape tp resume wort, the mill men in better position to pay their wages and the cloth and yarn market showing a healthip-r tone. n SiZ tsr:- Charles Plyler is Convicted. Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock the jury in the case of Charles B. Plyler, George Mayhew and John McManus, on trial for the murder of Carter Parks brought in a 'verdict of guilty of murder, ih. the first degree against Plyler and Mayhew, and not guilty as to McManus. P'yler took an ap peal to the Supreme Court and a mo tion for. a new trial for Mayhew on the ground of newly discovered evi dence will be heard at the next term of Superior Court at Monroe, com mencing August 22. Plyler, a white man, about 25 years of age, was sen tenced to the electric chair by vJude "cu, tne execution to take place September 15. On motion of counsel for the prisoners, Judge Allen ordered their removal to the Lee county jail to be confined there-pending the ap peal m Plyler s case and the hearin of the motion for new trial ,in May- Taked Fight Pictures Arouse If e of Crowdsk An attempt by the manager of a theatre at Gary, Ind., to palm off fake pictures of the Jeffries-Johnson fight resulted Saturday night in riot ous scenes that required the calling out of the entire police force. Bps announeing the reproduction ol the Heno contest were plastered all over town. When the fight pictures were thrown on the screen, yells of de rision went up from the spectators. Ihe fighters representing Jeffries and Johnson were -what is known in sporting vernacular as a "couple of shines." They fought fourteen rounds despite the threats of the crowd to tear down the theatre until their money was refunded. Then the crowd became so violent that the whole police force had to use clubs to dis perse the rioters.

Gnaw Trees to Death. As a consequence they go to higher altitudes and eat the bark from the Knglemann spruce and lodgcpole pine, circling the trees with their sharp teeth and eventually causing them to die. I No statistics have been gathered a a to the total destruction caused by por cupines, but it has been approximated that many thousands of trees are an nually destroyed by them. The fact that a reconnotesance party In the Routt forest recently killed twenty-one porcupines in two -days in a compara tively small area will give an idea ot the large number of the animals there. Experts will also study the ravages made by field mice, chipmunks and other rodents In the' reforestation areas recently sown with seed. Be cause of the depredations of these ro dents the method of sewing pine seed broadcast has proved practically a failure, the animals eating all that are acattered on the ground. Even where the seed is put in the ground with corn planter the animals dig them up unless they are planted at a depth so great as to prevent germination. Poisoned Sd Fails. The service has tried experiments of poisoning the seed before it Is planted. but these methods have proved prac tlcally ineffective because of the great damage done by the rodents before hay expire, and also because the pol- eon Is applied to the outer surface of the seed, which is removed by the ani mals before eating the kernel. Experiments will be tried of ridding the area to be seeded of rodents by first scattering poisoned gram, which the field mice and chipmunks eat read ily. The ground will then be planted with pine seed. It Is believed that this plan will be successful because of the limited area, only about an acre, which the average field mouse or chipmunk ranges over. ARMY LANCES STILL FAVORED - - i Germans Experiment With New Style For Cavalry. The lance as a cavalry weapon has Justified its existence, military experts agree, in the South African and the Russo-Japanese war in spite of those who decried the arm as old fashioned and cumbersome. The German mili tary authorities still believe in shock tactics and the cavalry charge, and un der those circumstances the lance in the Prussian Uhlan's hands remains a formidable weapon. ! Experience, however, has also shown that the lance point often makes too deep wounds for the shaft to be with drawn quickly, and so the lancer runs the risk of having It wrenched from his grasp in the charge. The cavalry regiments stationed at Brunswick and Strasburg are experimenting with a new kind of lance which carries a ball below the base of the lance head, pre venting, it from penetrating further. It Is said that the new arm is Just as effective in disabling an enemy and is free from other disadvantages. It will probably be adopted by all the trerman lancer regiments. AERIAL BUOYS ARE PATENTED berman Aeronauts Want Channels Marked In Sky. German aeronauts are already talk Ing about the mapping out of properly ngntea airship tracks for the guidance of dirigibles and aeroplanes traveling oy night or when weather conditions make it necessary for airmen to fly above low hanging clouds which hide the landscape. The technical paper Lurtscniffhalle says that a patent has Just (been issued for a new system of stationary luminous aerial buoys of enormous candle power. They are to be connected by wires with the earth. Different colors are proposed as signals indicating threat ening storms, the direction of the sur- iace winds and dangerous landing places. The only objection seems to be the cost of lighting a whole air track, as buoys to be effective should not be placed too far apart. Never theless, it seems the system is going to be adopted for a start by some large cities to equip their landing places for airships. Big Meteor Palls. Accompanied bv a noise as loud as thunder a' large meteor fell in the neighborhood of Council Bluffs, Iowa, Sunday, shaking the city and causing intense excitement. Searching par ties have been attempting to locate the point where the meteor fell in the hills immediately back of the city. Hundreds of persons heard the explo sion and felt the shock but because of the sun at the time, very few saw the aerolite itself. The meteor, which is described as very large and traveling ? .nor nwe?t to southeast, passed ln tne air and disappeared be TO THE VOTERS or r .. cou;rrr.
