The Wilininir too Messenger asseits that such in the case in North Carolina. It esjs: "Crime aeetns to be greatly ou the increase in this state. Not 1 day passes that the newspaptrs d not chronicle boruic.ioV, a burglary r tome other serious violation of the law." It may be as bud as the Meeen Iter fears, but the evidouce is nut conclusive. It is conceded, how ever, that the criminal instinct is strongest iosu turner and that crim e are tnott oomeroue in hot weather This may account (or the increase which troubles the mind of our c m tomporary at the present time. A Philadelphia paper calls atteu tion to a fact which has often been observed, that "whenever a crime of unusnal turpitude is committed, and par'icu'arl.r whenever a nam ber of such forbidding events ocenr in quir k ruecoBsiou," we are apt to hear something about an epidemic of crime and sundry lamentations bout the increasing wickedness of the world. Although there are in a j y who believe tl at the human family is rspidly gravitating to the bad, the evidence does not support the theory, thubgb it must be ad milted that at best the state of tlUirs is bad enough. The view of the matter taken by this writer is that much of the ap parent increase of crime may be accounted for by the improved facilities for gathering and printing the news, to which may be added the prevailing idea, both with pur veyors of news and readers of newt papers, that crime most be report ed, whatever else may be over looked. There is no reliable data, we are informed, from which a just conc'.u sion may be drawn either as to increase or decrease of crime rela tively to the growth of population Id the country at large. In the absence of criminal statistic in North Carolina we are uot prepared to believe that more crimes are committed in the state than former ly, or that any class of our popula tion has dweloped an increasirg criminal tendency.

Making money by shipping strawberries and truck was almost unknown iu North Carolina twenty- five years ago. They are yet far from full development, and with the modern refrigerator can and transportation this industry will go forward by leaps and bonuda. Most of the early strawberries a-e crown "U the line of the Atlan tic Coet Line and that railroad cysttru has issued a circular letter showing the shipemenU of straw berries over the route of the road in Etsteru North Caroliua for the season of 1904, has cloaed. The growers have had successful crops. The total number of refrigerator cars shipped for the berry season of 1 904 ainouuted to 2,2 1 7 car loads, as against 1,9'5 last year. In addition to the shipments handled in refrigerator cara, the Southcru Express company handled 71.00U crates during the past ship ping eeacou, wtiicu, wneu auJod to tho shipment in refrigerator cars, brings up the grand total to HOT, o&J crates, as against 575,000 crates during the faiU 'US season of 1903, or a grand total of 22,517 car loads this season. The net average to tho if rower per crate has been about $2 00. At this rate it will be seen that over 1,210,738 has been turned iuto the tia'idsof the farmers from the one item of strawberries aloue. Those figures ought to be widely disseminated, for thero is much good land yet uot utiliz :d that should be devoted to the growiug of strawber ries.

All those who qualify will receive a national marksman b button. ,In introducting tho subject the board poinu out mat as our pT manent military establishment or regular army must be small, in event of a war with one or moro of the first class powers of tho world, we must depend very largolv upon the militia and the volunteers for our fighting force. With tho modern long rango small arms it is all important that the soldier should know how to shoot and to hit what ho shoots at. If ho cannot do this tho chances are 10 to 1 that tho shot is lost "IJy tlie plan proposed, says tho report of tho board, "we be lieve that the Uuited States will within a lew years nave more than one million men who will have for practical purposes on tho line of battle nearly all tho requirements of the most efficient soldiers in the world. That is, wt'iproposo to educate our young men and boys over 15 yoars of age to be an army of expert rifle shots. Io those wbo are accus tomed to tne use oi urearms we believe one thing is evident be yond all question, and it is that a high degree of skill in rifle and revolver shooting and the confi denco which a knowledge of this skill gives will mako a timid man brave and a brave man oour ageous. The board proposes to encour ago rifle practice in the stat militia where necessary, in mil itary and other schools, and among those individuals who may bo cal'jd upon to serve in time of war. The report of the board points out that it is especially desirable to induce practice by the young er man, because by far the larger part or an army in the field will bo made np of very young men, so that every endoavor should be made to carry on more particu larly the practice of young civ ilians. This, it is recommended, should be done by means of shooting galeries and field rangos and the report suggests, in treat- iu ui uiu jui ioer, mat in erect ing armories for the national guard additional rango facilities can be provided at little addition al cost As for outdoor ranges the re port 6ays: "It would appear to your committeo that a most care ful study should be given, and at once, to the matter of even tually establishing sufficient range faci ities to permit of quite general civilian rillo practice, and for the purpose of this study there should be assumed an ac tive rillo practice by say 500,000 to l.OOUO individuals, which will eventually provide facilities for the number of men above named."

The contro versy over the sinking of the Brit sh steamer Knight Commander is not expected either in British gov ermental or Russian diplomatic cir cles, to reach the acute stage, both government! having adopted a conciliatory attitude. While the final reply of llassia to the British protest hat not yet reached the foreign ofhee, Associat ed Press loarna that Count Ben ckendorff, the Russian Ambassador had an extended conference yester day with Foreign Secretary Lant downe, which brought the two governments appreciably nearer a settlement. It is known that Lord Lansdowne netructed Sir Chsrlet Harding, the ritish Ambassador at St. Peterc- urg to discuss the question of com pensation, for the owners ol the Kniifhts Commander with the Foreign Minister Lamsdoril, acd it is believed here that the latter will not fail to make an equitable clfer, sati.factory to the British Govern ment There is talk of the modification, of the Russian naval regulations which will prevent a reoccurrence of such incident! aa the finking of tha Knight Commander. But whether they will be modified or not it not known.

Four Jailbirds Break Prison. Gainsville, Ga., Aug. 7.-Pour prisoners have escajwd from Hall county jail. They are: Charley Bray, Charley SofTord and John White, all white men, and Frank Allen, colored. It is believed that the jailer failed to lock the cell door when lie gave tho prisoners supper lust night, for the prison is uew, having only been turned over to the county a few weeks ago, and tlie cells are of the latent make, and there are but two keys to each door; also, the cell door was unharmed, showing that a key was used in getting it open. Once the prisoners were in tho corridor, escape was effected by cutting the window facing with pocket knives and then knocking the brick from the wall with a window weight A blanket was used in letting tho prisoners to the ground. No trace of the missing pris oners has been secured. There it ont way at least that Japan may capture Port Arthur, and that it by balloon warfare a method that would make the hor rort of tha Inferno seem common place.
