Robeson County Negro doned. Governor Kitchin Thursday pardoned Calvin McNair, color ed, of Robeson county, convicted at the August term, 1895, of manslaughter and sentenced to 20 years in the State peniten tiary. Pardoned conditionally, reasons for pardon being: "De seased was intimate with pris oner's wife. Prisoner discovered the offenders in their criminal! ty. Deceased drew his gun, and threatened prisoner's life. Pns oner went home, got his gun and went to deceased's home, called him out and shot him. Prison er has served htteen years in prison and was in jail prior to trial several months in all over sixteen years. The trial judge is dead. The solicitor and many other worthy citizens recommend clemency. There is no nrotest. Under the facts ! think his pun ishment has now been sufficient to justify a conditional pardon. I therefore pardon prisoner on condition that he remain a law abiding citizen of good conduct " Corn Club Boys Should Send in Reports. , County Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction J. R.

STATE NEWS. A. A. C. vs. Sandy J. R. Mc A Good Year For Drinks and Smokes and Oleomargarine. Washington Dispatch, Nov. 27. The United States has iust passed through a banner year for drinks and smokes and oleomargarine. Here is the na- lon's record for the twelve months ended on June 30, as it shows in the figures of the in- ernal revenue bureau: 163,000,000 gallons of distilled spints-30,000,000 gallons more than the year before. 59,485,117 barrels of ferment ed liquors an increase of 3,000,-000. 7,600,000.000 cigars-160,000,- 000 more than 1909. 6,830,000,000 cigarettes-an in crease of a solid 1,000,000,000. 402,000,000 pounds of pluff. fine cut, cube cut, granulated or sliced smoking or chewing to bacco or snuff 4.000.000 more than the year before. 142,862 282 pounds of oleomar- garine-50, 000,000 pounds, increase. Illicit distilling and other man ufacturing of moonshine whis keyon the increase "especial ly"the bureau says, "where there are State-wide prohibition laws." The internal revenue receipts on all those things and certain other things, such as playing cards and mixed flour, amounted to more than $289,000,000 and Commissioner Cabell's organiza tion collected it all at a cost of about $5,000,000. It cost a pen ny and a little more than seven mills to collect each dollar. When the present year is end ed next June 30 Commissioner Cabell estimated his men will have collected at least $308,000,- 000 at practically the same cost. Only three other years have surpassed the year 1910 as an in ternal revenue producer, since the bureau was established in 1863. In 1866 while civil war taxes were still heavy, receipts mounted up to $310,000,000 and following the Spanish war in 1900 and 1901 they were $295,- uuu.uuuand $3Ut),uuu,uuu respec tively. But for times of peace and normal prosperity, 1910 heads the roll, with the prospect of being eclipsed by 1911. Commissioner Cabell's report, speaking of illicit distilling says Alabama, Georgia, North Caro lina and South Carolina lead in offenses of that character. Dur ing the year officers closed 1,911 such plants, 200 more than the year before. Poole to announce the winners as soon ! va Oxendine Gdn possible.

News and Observer Nov. 30: The Standard Oil Company is to come before the courts of North Carolina on the charge of violat ing the Anti-Trust law passed by the General Assembly of 1907. Warrants sworn out against the company yesterday have been made because of alleged trust methods in dealing with competi tion in Raleigh by a successive lowering of prices with the pur pose of driving out or breaking up coiYipetition. In the opinion of Chief Justice Walter Clark the State-wide prohibition law has reduced gen eral crime in North Carolina 50 per cent. Murder in the first de gree shows a decline of 32 per cent in the 2 years; burglary, 20 per cent. ; attacks with deadly weapons, 30 per cent; larceny, 40 per cent; manslaughter, 35 per cent; murder in second de gree, 21 per cent., and minor crimes from 25 to 55 per cent. There has been a falling off of 15 per cent, in violation of the prohibition laws. Al Byrd, charged with the murder of Fred Thomson in J? ayettevuie last July, was ac quitted by a jury in Fayette ville Friday, the verdict being some wnat oi a surprise, it was in evidence that Thomson was lying unconscious witn a tractured skull in tne upper room or a lodging house kept by Byrd's mother, where he had been placed by Byrd, who had dealt him a blow in a quarrel. Byrd pleaded self-defense. One of the most important deals made in the State recently was consummated in Charlotte last Saturday when the Southern Power Co. purchased the entire system of the Charlotte Electric Railway Co. and the business of the Charlotte Gas & Electric Co. The identification of the Southern Power Co. with Charlotte's street-car system is thought to mean that Charlotte will be the commercial center of North and South Carolina and that elec- tiic car lines will radiate from ' that city north and south. a I Raleigh News and Obseiver, I Nov. 29: Leading the entire Union by means of its great dis play of fruit North Carolina took first place at the great National Horticultural Congress just end ed at Council Bluffs, Iowa. As proof of this it captured more prizes than any two States com bined, its trophies amounting in value to over a thousand dollars.
