Mount Olive Advertiser: The ber
ry season Is at an end, the entire crop
has been marketed and it has been one
of the most prosperous seasons since
1894. Everyone connected with the In
dustry Is to be congratulated. The
trucking Interests of Mount Olive bring
about $175,000 a year to this place; Ave
thousand bales of cotton, worth 200,-
000, are sold here in a season; the corn,
rice, egg, poultry and meat accounts
are hard to estimate, But will, on a
hazardous guess, be not less than $50,
000: the tobacco sold on this market
will bring at least $25,000 to the city,
and the lumber plants mean a contri
button of at least $40,000 t6 the receipts.
The merchants will require another
$125,000 a year, making, on a haBty es
tlmate, a grand total of business
amounting to $615,000 a year. lint we

HOW SWITZERLAND
PROTECTS THE BIRDS
EXCELLENT LAWS ARE STRICTLY
ENFORCED..
From the Srlintllh- American.
Switzerland -has not many feathered
songsters, but those that do exist are
carefully protected, not only by law,
but by the fostering character of the
peopUrpartlculutiy the German speak
ing people of Switzerland. In northern
Italy bird killing Is an epidemic, and
this yi.nit hi.s spread over the Swlss
Itnllan canton of TUino. As the sea
sons come and go the Swiss birds make
their pilgrimages south and In going
and returning cross the land of north
ern Italy, and the Swls cnittoti of Tio
Ino, and they are mercilessly pursued
by hunters of all axes and all classes.
On the I.ske of Magglote It Is estimat
ed that at least lia.iWHt feathered songs
ters are trapped and killed every year.
' and In the regions around Bergamo ami
Hrescle ninny millions are slaughtered
to satisfy' the demands of tallies and of
... th millinery establishment of the
world, tine of the schemes Is to rover
the limbs of trees with bird lime, so
tl at they become helpless captives If
they stop In their night for rest or for
food; hundreds are often raptured by
this simple means. During the past
year the border police of TUino cap-
, tured and destroyed 13.000 bird traps
set to Imi.tlson the weary little flyers.
Now. however, excellent laws are be
ing enforced and the song birds of
Hwltierlsnd may yet survive the at
tempt to exterminate them.

To the Democratic clubs and so
cieties of the United States; Recent
events in the history of the United
States point to the aproaching anni
versary of the birthday of the nation
as a day that snoum re ceieDratea
with special favor this year. There
are those in the nation who seek to
create, the Impression that the Ameri
can people have outgrown their love
for the Just principles of government
expressed in the declaration of inde
pendence and are ready to surrender
their moral leaders among nations In
order to gratify a newly-born instinct
(or Imperial power, founded on a co
lonial system.
"All the Democratic clubs and socie
ties are earnestly requested to assem
ble on the Fourth of July and all pa
triotic citizens, regardless of past par
ty affiliations, are urged to Join with
them In a new pledge or fidelity to tne
republic as the fathers made it. Let
the people of the United States uhlte
In their various cities, towns and vil
lages In a demonstration of the confi
dence they feel In the form of govern
ment under Which the nation has
grown to its present greatness. The
danger which threatens the country is
real and imminent. It seems appropn.
ate, therefore, that citizens who believe
that the declaration of Independence Is
not merely an academic document,
should meet together on this day and
give voice to the national sentiment
that all men are created free and equal
and that there must be no subject col
onies under the American flag."
