A company, formed at London in 1925 sent Lieu
tenant Hardy to the California coast, with two yes
sels carrying divingbells, by the aid of which it
was expected that the pearl fishery might be conduct
ed more safely as well proftably it proved that
the oysters always lie in crevces of the rocks to
bell and the enterprise was in consequence abandon
ed. The value of the pearls obtained appears to be
trifing when compared with the time and labor en-
ployed in the search for them. In 1925 eight ves-
sells engaged in the business collected together five
pound Of pearls which worth about ten thousand
dollars Occasionally, however, single stone is
of value sufficient afford compensation for years of
fruitless labors and of the richest pearls the
regalia Spain the produce of the fishery in the
Californian gulf.

THE FAYETTEvILLE cARoL1N1AN.

We protest against the spirit and manner in which
our friend of the Fayetteville @Carolinian dis
posed treat the Central Road. In his paper before
the last he that direct route than that
by way of Raleigh, would have cost much less and
in his last paper he expresses doubts to whether
the Road will be built at all. He says: 3" We have
doubted this. and still doubt it but time will show.'
Now, is this fart Is it generous? Isit just7 Have
the people of Fayetteville got all they asked
Did they not get Bank and Plank Road-and is
moi the Cape Fear river to be improvedi We call
readers witness that were the first to hail
the introduction of the Plank Road bill, and that in
all matters of Internal improvement, the Cape Fear
region ipclnded, we have given our feeble aid to
every section. What would the Editor of the Caro-
linian say of us and think of US, if were to
forward and speak of those important he
has spoken of the Central Road IS said that the
Plank Road will be built-that Cape Fear and Deep
Rivers will be improved-and that the Fayetteville
Bank will go into operation; but we '' have doubted
,this and still doubt it-but time will show" How
would that soundl If we believed it, pen should
fall from hand, and tongue should cleave to
the roof of our mouth, before would utter it.
No-no-no! Away with these sectional feelings
and these unworthy s doubts''! We tell our friend
of the Carolinian, in the same language which he
in relation to the Plank Road, that the Central
Road must be but-ca,l be built and ,oiH be 6uiH."
The Press of the State is fire in the good
cause.-The people of all parties aroused-enthu-
sasm of the right sort, mingled with deep of
nexorable necessity, has been evoked-and the word
now is fling your IS doubts - and your fears to the
winds, and right onward to the work in hand ! He
that falters now, goes back and dooms this noble
Commonwealth (we will say Commonwealth, Mr.
poverty and decay and he that doubts is damned.
Up, then, friend Bayne, and let your more generous
impulses speak forth through your useful Press
We shall be with you, heretofore; and whether
Raleigh Fayetteville, Wilmington, Asheville, Sails
bury, Rockford, or Newbern shall be benefited, we
shall be content, so THE STATE is elevated and i'm

FREE SUFFRAGE. The bill to provide for submit
ting to the people the amendment to the Con
stitution as to do away with the property qnali
cation for voters in the Senate has passed the House
by large majority. What will be its fate in the
Senate we cannot tell, though it seems to us that
every voting against it is trying to she the voice
of the people and prevent them from deciding the
question. We hope it will pass, for we shall never
be satisfied until the people do decide, and then we
shall be. Our last gubernatorial election plainly
showed that there dissatisfaction among the Peo-
pie with this feature of the Constitution, and IT they
desire it altered they have right to alter it.

ADDRESS OF SOUTHERN MEMBERS.
We have read with much attention the "Address
of Southern Delegates in Congress to their constu-
ents,' the subject of Mortimer aggresssions pre-
pared by Mr.. Calhoun and adopted the 22d day
of last month and we shall lay it before read
ers in next issue.
This address is distinguished by great ability, and
Is Pervaded it to us, by the proper spirit 1t
enumerates the wrongs to which the people of the
slaveholdng States have long submitted, and its
main appeal to Southern is to be united, and to
present front, and one only, on this absorbing
question. 1t recommends final steps, but speak
ing to the Southern people, it says: AS the assai-
ed, you would stand justified by all laws, human and
divine, in repelling blow dangerous, without
looking consequences; and to resort to all means
necessary for that purpose. Your assailants, and
not you, would be responsible for Consequences"
The Address prepared by Mr.. Calhoun is directed
solely to the Southern people, and that drawn up by
Mr. Berien; which was rejected, is in the form of
statement of grievances and an appeal to the whole
people of the Union. ..a.
Mr.. Calhoun's Address has been signed, welearn,
by nearly all the Southern Democrats, and by but
two Whigs-Messrs. Gayle and Tompkins,
We invite the attention our readers the Remarks
OF Mr.. Venable, published in to-day's paper. 1t
was due to the South and to the friends of our inst-
tulons in Congress- that their should be vim
Glcated from misrepresentation; and this task Mr..
'enable has performed promptly and to the point.
