At this hour the case was again resumed, according to an agreement of counsel ami Judge Boyd. Comparatively little was accomplish ed at tiie hearing. Mr. .McClintock made a most excel lent witness, going over the ledger, showing depsoit slips made by Fon ville, and tracing each date corres ponding with the fifteen counts in the bill of indictment. He specified sever al of the false entries made by Franc Jones from when they began in No vember, amounting first to about SIOOO. He showed that they gradually increas ed until March 15, 1007, when they amounted to SB,OOO. Deposit slips in .Tones' handwriting to Randolph & Co.. of Philadelphia, were shown.

The gossip of the financial district in explanation of this decline was based on the rumor that Harriman had given orders for sweeping re ductions on every railroad line which he controls. Harriman gave out a denial that any such orders had been ?iven. Harriman'B Denial. | The attention of E. H. Harriman was called to a telegram he was re ported to have sent to the general managers of the Southern Pacific in structing them to reduce all expen ses other than maintenance and to stop improvements on account oi the stringency of the money market. "The statement is untrue," said Harriman. "I do not send telegrams to gen eral managers in this way, and no such order has been given. "We are doing everything we can to take care of business tributary to our roads and expect to continue to do so." Great Slump on Market. Excited operators added to the Har riman report rumors of the concert ed policy amongst other great rail road system along the same lines. It was not until there had been a heavy unloading of stocks of all kinds that the statements were published deny ing the intention to effect any reduc tion of the operating fences, in view of the sustained volume cf 4 1-4 points; Southern Pacific 3 points.

New York, Oct. 11.—For the first time since his recent illness Ex-Presi dent Grover Cleveland is in town. He is staying at the Hotel Buckingham. Mr. Cleveland arrived yesterday aft ernoon. As he left his train at Jersey City he plainly showed the effects of his illness. He walked with a cane on which he leaned heavily, and he appeared to have aged perceptibly since his last appearance in New York. Mrs. Cleveland accompanied him. Mr. Cleveland's visit is understood to be in relation to the affairs of the Association of Life Insurance presi dents, of which he is chairman. He will prrbably return to Princeton to day. Robeson County Bonds Sold. Lumberton, N. C., Oct. 12. —At a meeting of the board of county com missioners here, Robeson county court house bonds in the sum of $50,000, were sold to the Securety Trust Com pany, of Spartanburg, S. C., for $54,- 189.75. Before the bids were sub mitted it was ordered by the boara that no bidder should be required to put up an amount in excess of SI,OOO to make the bid good. These bonds will be dated Nov. Ist, 1907, and bear 5% per cent interest, ma turing Nov. Ist, 1937. A diplomat is a man who is able to use the truth economically and judiciously. FOB THE BETTER UTILIZATION OF OUR YELLOW PINE J Washington, D. C., Oct. 12—"In fif teen or twenty years, at the present rate of cutting, the supply of the long leaf yellow pine of the south, one of America's most useful forest trees will be nearly exhausted," say the ex perts of the United States Forest Ser vice. If these pine forests are wiped out one of the south's important in dustries will die—the production of so called naval stores. The lumber of the southern yellow pine brings sls to $35 per thousand feet, its turpentine 5G cents per gal lon, its rosin from $4.35 to $6.95 per 2SO founds, and its pitch' $3.25 per 2SO pounds. All these prices are grad ually becoming higher and higher on account of the increased demand and the scaricty of the products. For merly, turpentine could be purchased for 30 cents a gallon. Now 56 cents must be paid at wholesale, and the consumer of gallon lots will pay at times as high as SI.OO. In the face of these fast increasing prices, people are still found who say that there is yet an inexhaustible sup ply of yellow pine in the south, and that all talk about a famine is unwar ranted. Such statements are not justi fied by conditions and the yellow pine lumbering industry will soon be in the face of a serious shortage unless de cidede changes are made in the pres ent methods, and unless valuable pro ducts now going to waste are utilized. I The longleaf pine is a slow-growing tree and does not make timber with anywhere near the rapidity that it is being cut. The situation calls for mak ing the very best use of the pres ent supply. There arc at present in the woods i of the south vast quantities of pine logs and tall stumps left as a result of careless lumbering in the past. This ' material is rich in turpentine and could I be made to yield from ten to fifteen j gallons of refined spirits per cord. Be-' sides this, there is a great waste at' the sawmills in the form of slabs, edg ings, and sawdust, all of which must have a value, but at present is, for the most part, simply burned to get it out of the way. In fact, not more than r>o per cent of the tree as it stands in the forest comes to the mar ket in the form of valuable materials. In the year 1906 the reported cut of southern yellow pine was some 12 bil lion board feet. A conservative esti mate of the actual amount of turpen tine alone, to say nothing of wood fi ber and other materials, which could be produced from the wastewood of this one year, would place the amount at not less than 30 million gallons. This is a surprising figure, when it is remembered that it represents an amount almost equal to the present an nual production of gum spirits in this country. If this product were extract ed from the wood and sole at even the current price of good wood turpentine, the gross saving would be easily $14,- 400,000. Men have realized for some time that an enormous waste of valuable substances is going on, and a few have succeeded in extracting the turpentine and placing on the market a material of a fairly good quality. In the ma- jority of cases, however, the article has been of an inferior grade, due gen erally to the fact that the technical methods used have been faulty. As a result of this, wood turpentine is at present often considered as an adul terated material, or at best as a poor substitute for gum spirits. It is true that in some cases these opinions arc well founded, but inferior products have put an unnecessary damper on tho whole industry. The Section of Wood Chemistry of the Forest Service has lately been in vestigating this shbject, and some val uable results have been obtained. It has been found that for the recovery of turpentine from wastewood, the steam distillation process is far superior to that of distilling the wood destructive ly. The crude turpentine is in all cases more uniform, and the final re fined materials are as a rule of better grade and can demand a higher When properly made and refined, ex periments have shown that the steam turpentines are in many cases even more uniform and the final refined materials are as a rule of better grade and can demand a higher price. When properly made and refined, experi ments have shown that the steam tur-1 pentines are in many cases even more uniform in composition than the gum turpentines, and for all practical pur poses contain the identical substances. The odor often can not be distinguish ed from that of the gum spirits, but even if it could, this is a small mat ter in many cases, as infinitesimal and undetectable amounts of certain im purities left in the refined product as the result of the methods of produc tion can produce this slight difference in ordor and the wood turpentine should not be condemned for practical purposes on this account. This be comes still more evident when it is known that the odor of the gum tur pentine is not charactertic of itself, but is due to an impurity produced by the chemical action of air upon it. These are important discoveries and are well worthy of consideration. If they are true, then refined steam turpentin, properly prepared, should brine at last an eaual price in this country with gum turpentine. Indeed, abroad, this is often the case, and in stances are on record where the re fined steam turpentine has, by virtue of its more uniform composition, brought five cents a gallon more than the gum spirits, and is in much greater demand. Further investigations along these lines will be pushed vigorously by the Forest Service. Clocks are vedy convenient things not to have in the house* if you come home at 4 in the morning. NEW DEPARTMENT FOB THE STUQf OF ■FUJJSECTS Raleigh, Opt. 12. —Farmers, fruit growers, truck gardeners, and, in fact, all who are interested in agriculture in Ndrth Carolina should be interested to learn that the A. & M. College and Experiment Station has established a new "Department for the Teaching and Study of Insects." This is not a new line of work for the state, as the state entomologist of the department of agriculture at Raleigh, has for a number of years, conducted the work of the inspection of orchards and nur series, and undertaken investigation and control of certain injurious insect pests. There must be, however, many problems that the state entomologist has not, and may not, be able to un dertake. The new entomologist, R. I. Smith, at the A. & M. College and Experiment Station at West Raleigh, comes from Georgia where he held the position of state entomologist for a number of years. In that position he was enabled to gain a wide experience in the con trol of injurious insects of the Southern states. In taking up the work in North Caro lina the entomologist desires to obtain the co-operation of the farmers and fruit-growers of the state. Letters and | correspondence are the best means to i this important end, and it is his earn ! est desire that everyone will feel free jto write for information. Specimens of insects, their eggs or cocoonse, to gether with samples of the work of in jurious forms should be sent with the letters. Insects should always be sent separately in a tight wooden or tin box plainly labelled with the name and ad dress of the sender. Experimental work looking toward the control of some, important insect pects will be taken up by the entomolo gist, and letters from farmers and oth -1 ers over the state about the principal insects will greatly aid him in selecting lines of work that will be of greatest . benefit. The state experiment station work ; in all its branches, is for the benefit ! of the citizens of North Carolina. This is perhaps particularly true with in vestigations of injurious insects. Sta tistics show that insects destroy about 10 per cent, of all agricultural products each year. Hence very little thought is needed to make one realize the im portance of insect control. Insects injuring household goods, stored products such as corn and small grains, garden, field crop, and fruit tree pests, all help to cause the annual loss. Most crops for this year are practi cally beyond damage from insects for this year, except, perhaps cotton and some late garden crops. During the nast summer, however, much injury has no doubt been caused by various insects o? the farm and orchard. Let ters concerning such damage will be welcomed by the entomologist. Fur thermore in many cases he may be .able to suggest, methods for preventing the re-appearance and damage from such insects next year. All citizens of North Carolina should grasp this opportunity of get ting information and assistance entire ly free of cost. All packages should be addressed to: R. I. SMITH, Entomologist, Agricultural Station, West Raleigh, N. C. I . j SENTIMENT MUST BE ELEVATED Marriage Will Never be a Complete | Success Until Men Learn Loyalty to , the Home. I It is clear that the only hope cf rcformimng the marriage laws is in el evating public sentiment, says the Rev. I Dr. Patton in The Delineator for Octo : her. I do not believe that in the long • run practical legislation will rise much above the level of average theoreti cal belief. All departures, therefore, from the view that marriage is a divine institution are a menace to society, and itll philosophical theories which make the institution merely a phase of bio logical evolution are in principle de i structive of the home. But there is , sentiment of loyalty to family ties which men have in spite of their theo ries and there is a chance, therefore, of appealing to the sympathies of those who cherish sweet memories of the J little kingdom of the home over which t their mothers ruled. By all means let I that appeal he made. The Christian | church in both Catholic and Protestant ! forms can do much to prevent socie | ty from lowering its own ethical esti ; mates to the level of statutory regula tions. It is very easy for men to feel that what the law allows cannot be wrong; and very difficult to enforce the requirements of a transcendental stan dard against that which is set by the law of the land.

New York American. ; A Black Hand letter, threatening the life of Jeremiah Casey, prominent in ventor and former Mayor of Edgewa ter, N. J., brought to general notice yesterday the astonishing fact that since May 13, SIO,OOO worth of the Ca sey family possessions have been stand ing unguarded and uncovere l by the side of a public road in Edgewater. I On that date Mr. Casey, his Wife and their beautiful daughter, Helen, standing on their principles in some lit igation. allowed themselves to be evict ed from their home. Their daughter, known on the stage as Justine Cutting, is a talented member of the Grace George Company. Ever since then, neither the Case.vs nor the borough authorities would touch the household goods. A grand piano, worth more than SI,OOO has. been exposed to wind and storm, until now it is a sad ruin. A billard table that cost S7OO is likewise a wreck. Costly furniture, paintings, and tapestries have lain in a pile until they are sodden and mildewed. So determined were the Caseys to stand by their rights and refuse to res cue their property, that they even al lowed their gold watches and the ac tress' diamond rings to stiay in the bureau drawers. "I do not know whether or not the watches and jewelry are still there," Mr. Casey said yesterday. "But I have a list of the articles taken away, and within a short time I am going to bring suit against certain borough of ficials for their full value. STANDARD OIL CO. HEARING. Comptroller Bainard and Others On Witness Stand in Big Case. New York, Oct. 14. —Comptroller Bainard of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, in the government suit against the oil combine, testified that f large loans were made to James Mc-} Donald by the Anglo-American Oil Company were ordered from London. | The witness was the American Secre tary of the Aanglo Company and Mc- Donald was managing director in Lon don. Concerning the Southern Pipe Line company's loans of over $20,000,- 000 to P. S. Trainor the witness thought Trainor reported his losses to the Standard Oil company of New' York, the Southern Pipe Line compa ny reimbursing the Standard for losses and charging the amounts to Trainor's account. He thought these losses were in curred in the purchase and sale of oil. He said he knew nothing about the loans by the Standard Oil company of New York aggregating $2,000,000, last year to "interests other than Stan- f dard Oil Co." First Vice President Wescott, of the Standard Oil company J of Kentucky, also testified. Women Who Smoke. New York Press.

Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the blood in your body passes'.hrough /our kidneys once every three minutes. fThe kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If tney are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, acnes and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the Llood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries, j It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional aiseases-have their begin ning in kv'.nry trouble.
