York, Dec. 5.?By urging: the individual plantimr of trees and holly, tke Wild Flower Preservation Society is making evesy effort to impress the holiday-loving public with the piesent need for adding t^naturs'g store or seasonal greens instead of taking from it. One of the pleas made hv Mrs. Elizabeth G. Britton, Becretary-treas urer of the society/ is that much of the holly purchased was originally taken from the woods and that, for the most part unknowingly, those who buy are indorsing unlawful prac tices. The destruction of holly on Long L Island is one of the most glaring Samples, Mrs. Britton said, and with the disappearance, of 12 van loads of the plant last year at Montauk without the property owners' know ledge, members of garden clubs and all nature lovers are thoroughly aroused to the immediate need for taking: protective measures.. In an article commending the work of the Girl Scouts in this crusade, publish ed in a current issue of "The Ameri can Girl," Mrs. Britton, who is also honorary curator of the New York botanical Garden, writes: "Holly lias practically disappeared from all points in its northern range within easy access of any of the largei' cities. Botanists in Massachu . setts, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey all report that with the exception of a few staminate trees, which do not bear fruit, there is little or no holly left in any of these states. "if the city be your- home, or a suburb where land is too limited to admit of even a few plant guests, it still liesj within your power to share in the mutually profitable un dertaking of keeping Christmas greens forever available. Buy a liv ing tree, enjoy it for as many days as you please, and then don't throw it away but give it to your neigh-1 borhood playground, or school, or nursery, or hospital, or park to plant. There's a far keener joy in conserving life than in destroying it, ;fnd few of us relish the knowledge that a cumulative total of 600 years of holly life is extinguished in one puny florist's box." Mrs. Britton explained that in many of the?public schools, particu larly in Baltimore, children were being urged to plant' holly, as a means of calling the attention of parents to the need. At the New Vork Botanical Garden, hollyberries were planted in mid-winter and were forced with artificial heat at first, then kept in pots in cold frames the second winter, and afterward set out, attaining a height of three feet in three years. n: Barfield Returns to Jail Darlington, Deo. 6.?As sudden and surprising as was the break from jail last Wednesday night was the return about 11:30 o'clock last night of Loye Harrison, alias John Barfield, who was one of the five prisoners who Kot away Wednesday night by sawing through the .bars in* the jail and is the second one to return voluntarily to jail. Sheriff E. W. Register re captured one, Dave Jackson, negro, and as Bill Hammond, negro, had re turned the night of his escape there remain now only two at large. They are Bink Brown, white, and Jim Mc Donald, negro. Barfield. told the sheriff on his re turn that he was wrong in trying to ret away, as he was innocent of the billing of Federal Officer Leroy You wans, for which he is awaiting a new trial, having been found guilty and sentenced by Judge E. C. Dennis to '?fe imprisonment at the first trial, but the supreme court ordered a new trial. Barfield further said that in y|ew of the kindness shown him by sh<;riff Register he did not want to Mut him and the county to the* ex-' ?ense and trouble of having to make a search for him. He also said he "ad been as far as Lexington county before he decided to return. fcive $250,000 To Negro Institution* New York, Dec. 2.?An anonymous *,,f- of $250,000 toward the $5,000, endowment for Hampton and ( i u.skego? institutes was announced, 'nursday by the fund committee.

G.?Mrs. Annu Iiuzzi, twice tried for the murder of Frederick Schneider, the wealthy con tractor with whom she lived for seven years and once sentenced to electro cution, was freed by the jury early today at the conclusion of her second trial. The principal witness for the defense was Mrs.. John McGeehan, wife of the district attorney, whose office prosecuted the woman. She testified that she talked with Mrs. Buzzi by phone at the latter's home within an hour of the finding of Schneider's body, and the defense contended the woman could not have killed Schneider where the tragedy occurred and gotten home by that time. Principal witness for the state was William Turk, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Buzzi, who swore that he loaned her a revolver and that she confessed to the crime to him. Notice To Delinquent Taxpayers. Under the tax laws adopted by the South Carolina legislature in March, 1924, sheriffs are required to make final returns on all executions within six months. Drastic methods are pro vided to. force sheriffs in the perform ance of this <jhity. Therefore, this is notice to delinquents that payment cannot bo postponed any longer. With the many executions in my hands, it will be necessary to pro ceed with levy and sale of property. Payment at my office, or to author ized collectors, will save additional expense. G. C.
