The holduD took place in the suburbs of. Boardman, a sawmill town 15 miles from Lumber ton. -Two shots werefired, it;ts said, one load of buck-shot entering Ste phens' leg above the knee. The two men held up carried a jug of some thing to drink, it is said, and the ne groes took the jug. .. Tom Wooten, Sim Bellamy and Jack Brown, negroes, were -arrested, charged with the holdup. Stephens and Herring were- recently found guHty of manufacturing liquor by Recorder E. It Britt, of Lumberton, and ordered to le'ave ,the county. . (V O. Dukes, county farm 'demon strator, will give a pruning demonstra tion in each of the 25 townships in the county during the next month. Many . Robeson farmers have "put out" peach orchards as one raeaiu? of meeting the boll weevil and the farmers generally are becoming interested in fruit growing. - . . . The farmers of Robeson are not making much headway in preparation for another crop. The falling of? in the prices, of tobacco and cotton will result in the acreage of both crops be ing reduced considerably. Indications are that the farmers will plant more foodstuffs this year.

It is contended that only In this way can the increas ing cost of fish food to the consumer be checked or reduced. . -. '-The four fundamental points In the New Jersey league's . proposal , for na-' tional legislation are:- " . (1) Protect spawning areas against pollution. . ' (2) Prevent - fishing in spawning areas. (3) Regulate. the size of the meshes of nets so . the - immature flsh can not be caught.- (4) Protect the natural food supply of eatable fishes. ' - The, fourth point has to do with one of the most " perplexing phases of the salt water' problem the matter of the menhaden Industry. The menhaden, otherwise known ah- a mossbunker, which once swarmed alqng. the coast in Incalculable fhtrmbers attracting hordes of edible fishes that preyed on them, have been slaughtered right and left? to produce oil and-fertilizer. In the view of experts their end is, not far off and with their passing will disappear from the Atlantic coastal waters many of such edible species a now. remain. Efforts - to cope with the problem through state regulation here have failed utterly, the last straw" being the complete breakdown of the state board of fisheries, which, had been created by legislative enactment with a, view to increasing- the supply of food fishes and reducing the cost to the consumer. The five members of the board resigned in a body in July, 191?, and there have been jno reappointments. . Investigation by a committee of vet eran coast men disclosed an equally de plorable condition, it is said, in other seaboard states. It was learned, also, that fisheries officials of Connecticut and Maryland agreed with those of New Jersey that a federal law was the Only remedy. ;. MRS; MARANZA A.

Ketonen classed him as the toughest 4nan he' had met in the south.: Strange as it may seem, his f'efeat at the hands of Ketonen made him in the eyes of the fans; His show ing against the Finn classed him as one of the best men in the, country.., His next battle w.as with Paul Bow "ver, a man who outweighed him by twenty or more pounds and tho Kid not only put up a regular battle but hooked the big Michigan boy for the nrst fail and came near gaining a win. inis has been going like a prairie fire fjmce his first win'over Hanson and he "csn't expect Turner's interference on Thursday night to slow him up. v TO IRGK HARDING TO NAME .
