Laws About Fishing in Robenon County Streams Explained. It seems that many people have the act of the Legislature of 1911, which prohibited any one man from catching more than twelve trout or red breast, or selling any of either in Robeson county for a period of two years, and the act passed several years ago, which prohibits setting net, traps, gigging, dynamiting, shooting and muddying all mixed up. For the benefit of the public The Robesonian has made investigation and finds that the act of 1911, which prohibited a man Irom Vcatching more than; fwiiyJ trout or red breast in a day, or frjom selling anw of said kinds of fish in Robeson county for a period of two years went out of effect last April, and now a man can catch as many as will bite to his hook and sell them for as many dollars as possible with out being liable to the law; but the act which prohibits setting nets, traps, gigging, dynamiting, shooting, is still a. law and will be till repealed by some subsequent act of the Legis lature. Superior Court. A 2-weeks' criminal term of Robeson Superior Court will begin Monday of next week. Judge George Rountree of Wilmington will preside. Up-to-date there are only 4 cases on the docket.- Four of these are for capital of fenses. Dave Monroe, colored, is to be tried for his1 life on the charge of committing criminal assault on the 5-year-old daughter of Dr. D. S. Cur rie at Purkton. Monroe is now in the .State penitentiary, where he was tak en for safe keeping. Lacey McRae, colored, awaits trial on the charge of shooting from ambu3n and killing Jack Adams, also colored, in Alfords ville township on December 26th last, and Luke McCallum, colored, is to be tried as an accessory before the fact, being charged with enticing Adorns to the place where McRae, it is'al 1 ged, rv in wait to kill. Ed. Jones, colored, is awaiting trial on the change of burglary. He is charged with having entered the home of Dr. A. B. Croom at Maxton about mid night about a month ago.' First Grade at Graded School jDivided. On account of the large number of pupils in the first grade at the graded school it has been found necessary to divide this grade into two sec tions. This change will go into effect-Mondaypf next week. Pupils 'in the first section will go to school from 8:4.ri to 12:30 and those in- the second section from 12:30 to 3. Miss Claudia John son is teacher of this grade. There are over 70 pupils enrolled in this grade and it is impossible to accom modate them all at one time now and do justice to all, which is the reason the change is made. Supt. Sentelle says this plan has been adopted in many other schools and has been found very satisfactory. Time to Pen Hogs. Rural Policeman Eli Phillips says - it's time to pen hogs, and all who live in his territory and have hogs running at large will do well to con fine them at once, as people are mak ing complaint to him about it.

" Besides suggesting the scope of leg islation, the President made a per sonal appeal for an atmosphere of friendliness and co-operation in Con gress while handling the problem. Six Chief Points.

A law to confer upon the Inter State Commerce Commission the pow er te superintend and regulate the . financial operations by which rail I roads are henceforth to be supplied i with the money they need for their proper development and improved transportation facilities. The Pres ident made it clear that "the prosper ity of the railroads and the prosper ity of the country are inseparably connected" in this regard. 3. Definition of "the many hurtful restraints of trade by explicit legis lation supplementary to the Sherman law. 4. The creation of a commission to aid the courts and to act as a clear ing house of information in helping business to conform with the law. 5. Provision of penalties and pun ishments to fall upon individuals re sponsible for unlawful business prac tices. 6. Prohibition of holding compa nies and a suggestion that the voting power of individuals holding shares in numerous corporations might be re stricted. 7.

At the meeting of the Grand Lodge of Masons at Raleigh, one of the most significant actions, taken was the providing of $500 to payfor the treat ment of needy and worthy tubercular Masons at the State Sanatorium 8t Montrose, and also the appointment of a committee to devise some plan for permanently endowing beds at the in stitution. The funds provided by the State are utterly inadequate to provide entirely for the treatment of our tubercular sick, and hence it is neces sary that those entering the institu tion pay a minimum fee of $1.00 per day. The usual cost for sanatorium treatment for tuberculosis, equal to that furnished at Montrose, ranges from $2 to $3 or even $4 a day. Thus it will be readily seen that this ac tion on the part of the Masons in an excellent forward step, not only from a humanitarian but also from a busi ness view point. Some fraternal or ders, trade unions and other organ izations build and maintain expensive sanatoria themselves, but in this State it is far cheaper to divide the ex pense with the State. This action on the part of the Ma sons is especially .commendable, as it doubtless marks the beginning of such benevolence among (other frater nal orders, clubs, churches, etc. To the Masons, however,) belong; the credit oftakirig the initiative in this wpj -Last reports from Mr. Tom To- lar, who is in a hospital in Richmond, say that his condition continues to improve, and it is expected that he will return home in about two- weeks. Itching, torturing skin eruptions disfigure, annoy, drive one wild. Doan's Ointment is praised for its good work. Wc at all drug stores. PARK TON PARAGRAPHS.
