TO CONTROL THE BIRDMEN. Out in California, where aviation is the great winter attraction, both for native sons and visitors seeking a genial clime, and where Glenn H. Cur tiss is training navy and army of ticers, and Eugene Ely is flying to and from Uncle Sam's battleship as a morning diversion, they are making laws to govern the birdmen. The first bills ; governing aerial highways have been introduced in the California Legislature at Sacramento by Assemblyman Fitzgerald in the Assembly and by Senator WoKe in the Senate. They were prepared un der the guidance of the Pacific Aero Club at San Francisco, and provide first for the designation of aeroplanes as "motor vehicles," the registering of fcuch vehicles with the Seeretaiy of State and the taking out of a li cense number, to be displayed a3 on the automobile. , The bills also contain a clause re garding the carrying of lights. It is provided that all aeroplanes shall carry "at least four lights, one in the center of the vehicle In front of the tiriver, one at the extreme rear, and one at each end of the lifting planes, these last two to be, one red and one green, the red light to be placed at the end of the right plane, and the green at the end of the left plane." It would seem that the legislators "of California take it for granted that the type of the every-day air vehicle -will be the biplane, judging by the arrangements of the lights. But these bills are not the only "proposed legislation. The shooting "clubs in California are urging legisla tion to govern shooting game from aeroplanes. They fear that the bird 'men will chase the feathered tribe off their preserves, and make shooting from the ground more difficult than it Is now. Thus does the science of aviation progress. ' OPPOSED TO TAXING DOGS. The Senate yesteday voted, down the measure designed to tax dogs in this State by a majoity of six, and the dogs will still be allowed to run at large, killing sheep and goats, eat ing chickens and breaking up hen bests. Pray, what right has a dog to run at large more than cattle, sheep or togs? If a dog is with his owner "While on a hunt that is a different 'matter,., but what right has the owner of a dog to allow his dog to run at 1 large to the injury of his neighbor? Mr. Farrior, of this city, lost a fine r lot of Angoria goats from the incur sion of a lot, of dogs, and why should .'Tie have to suffer because some one wants to keep a rabbit dog around? People who own dogs should be re quired to keep them up when ot ac companied by the owner, and if found running around loose any one should have the right to take up the dog and make the owner pay for his keep just as the stock law provides. Either this or the owner of sheep, goats or cattle should be reimbursed from a fund provided by the taxation of the dog, "whenever loss is incurred. This is the law in Virginia. The Editor of the Times is trying to encourage the raising of sheep and goats, but what farmer will run the risk with a lot of 'dogs running wild over the country? HELP THE STATE UNIVERSITY. The Committee on Education and Appropriations Is hearing reports '-from the State University as to. its eeds, and the inadequacy of . the present . appropriation to keep pace "with the growing demands made upon the treasury of that institution. Representing, as it does, the devel opment; of the mind In the broadest tossible way, a way that should lead o the elimination of all prejudice and lias in primal thought, the State can aot afford to allow its foremost insti tution of learning to be handicapped tn the dissemination of knowledge. GENIUS. "The question has often been asked, "Vrhat Is genius? ; And many mistakes Siave been made regarding its true toeaning. A genius is born not Smade. A man can be a genius In any Jine, but some meu . are a greater 5geniu3 than others. A man who can excel in any line and apparently do Sphenominal things and . possesses an iintimate knowledge of whatever study She is pursuing whether it be me chanical or literary is a genius. A Senius has thrust upon him by nature grea"tness, and his capabilities are as tounding. His insight into things is remarkable and his brain conceives of ideas which when carried into ef fect produce results that exceed ex pectations, and to the ordinary mind is beyond human conception. Thomas Edison is an example of mechanical genius and his inventive brain is per petual. Nature endowed him with i and . all the schooling of the land could not have drilled into his wonder ful brain his great mechanical gifts. He is a born genius and no human power could deprive him of that great faculty of knowledge. His brain is a vast storehouse of knowledge and greatness and its depths are unfath omed. ' - Shakespeare is an example of lit erary genius and no human mind can or has ever touched upon such intel lectual shores. Psychologically speak ing, his objective and subjective mind are more evenly balanced than any man who has ever lived, and it can be easily said no. such genius was ever born. A genius Is both architect and builder; he carries into effect or produces what his mind conceives. He is the man of emergency; his mind is on the defensive and he sees through these great colossal tunnels of thought the necessities and wants of human life. If it were not for genius the world would be in the background of ad vancement and knowledge and our population would not be living in an enlightened age and would be cloth ed in utter ignorance with no , hope of future progress. But with the aid of genius we have steadily advanced in all lines of industry and pursuits of life and we are now living in a glorious day of prosperity. So much for genius. ' ' W. R. KINGSBURY. Wilmington, N. C. The Charlotte Observer makes an apt distinction when it characterizes the fight between New Orleans and San Franciico for the Panama canal exposition as a "contest between a project' which Is national and a Pa cific coast show." This measures the difference with neatness and accur acy. STAGGERS THE IMAGINATION. Our correspondent asks if we are not willing to make any allowances for men who went to the front be tween 1861 and 1865. We certainly are. The country has properly made allowances for them, generous, be yond any parallel in history. It has expended $3,976,611,125 for the re lief of both those who were disabled and of those who were not disabled, and for the widows and minor chil dren of those who lost their lives dur ing the war or have died since. The Government is paying for pensions today nearly $160,000,000 a year a sum which would have staggered the imagination of the generation which fought the war. It has given veter ans preference in appointments to the public service and has recognized their sacrifices indirectly in many other ways. The Tribune has hear tily supported extraordinary liberal measures of relief, but there must be an end somewhere, and we feel that the Sulloway bill oversteps the limit of equitable obligation. Our corre spendent has' an honorable war re cord of which he may well feel proud. But does he take any satisfaction in being lumped with tehs of thou sands of others whose service In volved no special privation, with the paid substitutes, the bounty-jumpers and the ninety-day men who never saw the front, In a general service class entitled to draw pensions on exactly the same basis ? The Govern ment has gone far enough in pen sioning service alone. If pensions are to be increased, the increases should go to those whose service was the most exacting and relatively the least ., compensated. New York Tri bune. -. . ., Washington Lad Shot. Washington, N. C, Jan. 27. Lee Maniford, . Jr., eight-year-old son of Mr. Lee Maniford, of this city, was accidentally shot in the left leg yes terday afternoon, by one of his play mates, Howard Bowen, Jr.,. while hunting on the outskirts of the city about 5:30 o'clock. The ' . two V' boys with several others had been hunting and were returning to their homes in the city when young Bowen tripped, and in falling, his gun was discharged the entire load fouling the leg of Maniford, and causing an ugly and serious wound. He was brought to the city soon after the accident and taken to JiVashington Hospital, where Drs. David T. and Joshua Tayloe dressed the wound. His physicians fear that! it will be necessary to am putate the leg. Must Pay The Duty. Washington, D. C, Jan. 27 An Am erican firm of Importers, which made plain American tobasco at New Or leans, shipped It abroad, where fancy English labels were pasted on the bot tles, and then brought back as "Real English Tobasco Sauce," will have to pay a 40 per cent duty for the ex periment. The Importers carried the case to the Customs Court, where it was de cided that the tobasco had been ad vanced in value abroad and was du tiable. PANIC DURING FIRE ON SHIP Crew of Steamer Queen Exhausted When Vessel Puts In At San Francisco. San Francisco, CaL, Jan. 27. With a fierce fire burning in her hold and 125 passengers in a state bordering on panic, the steamer Queen, of the Pacific Steamship Company, arrived' in port yesterday bringing the news of a fierce conflict with flames that had lasted for more than twelve hours and threatened to destroy the vessel and passengers. The fifty-five members of the crew were exhausted from fighting the flames and controlling the terror stricken passengers. The vessel was convoyed by the steamer President, of the same line, which had hurried to the rescue in response to frantic "S. O. S." calls sent out by the wire less operator aboard the Queen. The operator, at this port picked up the distress calland the company immediately sent word that rescue would be sent immediately and to keep up hope. . YOUNG ELOPER WEDS ANOTHER.

Morgan is endeavoring to merge all the "independent telephone com panies in the United States so as to better compete with the Bell system was given by R. Max Eaton,, presi dent and general -manager of the Niagara County. Home Telephone Company. Mr. Eaton said he. believed the merger would be consummated during the present year." Heads of City Schools Gather At Raleigh. Raleigh, N. C.,1 Jan. 27. The North Carolina Association of City School Superintendents gathered in Raleigh last night for the 26th annual meet ing. There will be sessions Friday and Saturday morning. The organi zation has a membership of 75 and they are a great force in public edu cation.

Aviator Sommer Makes 15-Mile Trip With Five Passengers. Paris, Jan. 27. A new aeroplane re- cord was set here yesterday when Roger Sommer carried five passen- gers from Douzy to Romily and re turned with them successfully. The distance covered was about fifteen miles. This is the first time in the history of aviation that six persons have been carried in an aeroplane. Two of them were compelled to .stride the skids. The biplane used by Sommer carried a weight of about 1,000 pounds, in cluding a supply of petrol. The flight was made at an average height of 150 feet from the ground, the machine never rising over 200 feet. ' To keep the plows from, rusting: To three pounds of tallow mix one pound of white lead. Melt the tallow in an old iron pot; stir in the white lead. When using, heat the mixture and apply it with an old paint brush. In the spring just put the plow in the ground. This will clean the mold board as bright in a few yards as it was before. The same applies to any farmj tool used for cultivating. If you are thinking of moving, bet ter look around first to see if the time energy and money you would spend seeking a new location would not, if wisely spent about the old place, re sult in an increase of profit and com fort that would justify you in stay ing, with the old home. . Better do this than be sorry. I BALDHEADED MEN Ignorance -of The Hair Causes Much ; Baldness Among Men. Early piety doesn't cause baldness, neither does any kind of piety. Some baldheaded men console themselves with the idea that baldness is caused by a superabundance of gray brain matter, and would have the world be lieve that a baldhead is a sign of great Intellect. Such, however, is not the case. Ninety-nine times in one hundred, baldness is caused by dandruff germs which dig down deep into the roots of the hair, destroy its vitality and cause it to fall out. All this may come gradually and take time, but as an up-todate humor ist would say, "'what's time to a dandruff germ?" If you have dandruff, the little invi sible, persistent devils called dandruff germs are at work. Destroy them at once, or sooner or later they will cause your hair to fall out and you will be compelled to take your place in the baldheaded class. In France babldheads are ' few be cause jnen understand how to care for the hair. Parisian Sage is- a hair grower and Invigorator that is guar anteed by The Patterson Drug Co. to grow hair if the hair root is not al ready destroyed, to eradicate dand ruff, stop itching scalp and falling hair, or money back. 50 cents for a large bottle at the Patterson Drug Co. and druggists everywhere on money back plan. The woman who deliberates is lost. Addison. K The Origin Mr. Royster believed that success awaited the Manufacturer of Fertilizers who would place quality above other considerations. This was Mr. Royster's idea Twenty-seven years ago and this is his ide to-day; the result has been that it requires Elgrt lactones to supply the demand for Royster FertilizeiS. F. S. NORFOLK, VA. ABOR CASE IS UP AGAIN VIOLATORS OF INJUNCTION IN BUCK STOVE CASE BEFORE SUPREME COURT MAY BE SENT TO JAIL Washington, Jan. 28. One of the most spectacular legal battles ever waged between capital and organized labor reached its final stages yester day when the Supreme Court of the United States took up for oral argu ment the famous litigation by the Bucks Stove and Range Company of St. Louis, Mo., against the American Federation of Labor. The contending forces startetd their fight to determine the legality of the "boycott." That was in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. But yesterday, when the contest was renewed before the Su preme Court of the United States, the main issue had been crowded out of the" limlight by an incidental one. Now, the burning issue is whetther the principal officials of the Ameri can Federation of Labor are to go to jail on ; charges of contempt of court. ' ' r ' ' ' Because they failed to obey the In junction Issued by the District Su preme Court in the original case, Samuel Gompers, president . of the Federation, Is under sentence to serve twelve months1 in jail; John Mitchell, ice-president of the Federation, to serve nine months, and Frank Morri son, its secretary, to serve six months. - Fighting for the American Federa tion of Labor and its officials are Alton B.Parker, former Democrifc Presidential candidatte; Jackson H Ralston, Frederick L. Siddons, Wil liam E. Richardson and John T. "Walk er. Opposed to them as the repxesen tatives of the Bucks Stove and Range Companj' are Daniel Davenport and J. J. Darlington. - The Bucks Stove and Range Com pany was selling stoves and ranges throughout the United States at the time the suit began.- It was doing a business of $1,250,000 a year, ft complained that the American Fod eration of Labor and its members were conspiring to ruin its business by means? of a boycott. The com t was asked to grant an injunction against a continuation of the efforts and particularly to restrain the Am erican Federation of Labor from printing in its official organ, the Am- Jerican Federationist, the name of the company as being on the "We dont' patronize list." The opposition of the Federation was alleged to be due to a strike of metal polishers in the shops of the company. Before the injunction of the original court had been passed on by the high offiyrB ROYSTER GUANO COMPANY, FACTORIES AND SALES OFFICES. ' ' " TARBORO. N. C. COLUMBIA n er court, the Bucks Stove and Range Company complained that Presiden Gompers, Vice-President Mitchell and Secretary ,Morrison had violated its provisions by commenting publicly 0:i the effect of the injunction. They were brought into court and held to be in contempt. Now it is argued in their behalf: that the lower court had not issued a valid injunction and that they couldnot be punished, therefore, for disobeying it. That it was not a proper injunction is shown, it is argued, by the fact that the higher court modified it. The New Canadian Treaty. . I London, Jan. 28. The scope of the reciprocity agreement between the United States and Canada came as a surprise to the British public. No one had expected so - many changes to the free list or such important tariff reductions as the details of the proposed measure revealed. The reception of the agreement here, however, Is generally favorable. Most of the high officials are on vacations, which will continue until Parliament meets, and those in town will not be interviewed regarding the agreement. The Liberal Government, however, is distinctly favorable to the proposed measure. Several officials pointed out that under the agreement, the United Kingdom loses some ad vantages heretofore had by the Am erican tariff, but nevertheless the gov ernment is gratified that the Liberal party in Canada Is achieving some measures of its policy of give and take. , At the offices of the Canadian com mission here satisfaction was ex pressed at the outcome of the nego tiations. Tariff reformers and strong Imperialists, however, are not enthu siastic oyer the agreement. The for mer consider that the proposed meas ure demonstrates that while the United Kingdom remains a free trade country, Great Britain can not com pete with foreigners for the trade of its colonies. To Contest Caleb Powers' Seat. Washington, D. C, Jan. 27. "Ifhe members of Congress from Kentucky do not take action toward contesting the seating of Caleb Powers in the next Congress, I will myself Introduce a resolution to have the matter taken up," said Representative Macon, of Arkansas. "If the Republican members of this House could not sit with Mr. Roberts, of JUtah, because he was accused of being a polygamist, the Democrats certainly cannot sit with a member who has been convicted on the charge of murder, and who is enjoy ing his liberty only by the favor of a partisan State executive." Albany, N. Y., Jan: 27. William F. Sheehan Is making a personal cam paign to secure votes enough to elect him successor to Chauncey M. Depew as United States Senator. In fact, Mr. Sheehan has taken the bupieri of his fight off the" shoulders off Charles P. Murphy, of Tammany Hap. ertilizcr& J
