ent production Of North Carolina waters
The production can only be increased by
artificial means, and artificial means will
only be adopted under liberal laws framed
to encourage the investment Of capital on
a large scale.
AT present the law authorizes any citi-
zen to empt ten acres. That amount
OF land, while quite sufficient for ordina-
ry oyster ''planting" near shore, is totally
Inadequate for oyster farming" The
operation of raising oysters is almost en-
t1rely analogous to ordinary farming pro-
cesses, and though ten acres of land may
return some revenue when near a market,
no one ever heard of farmers expecting
to produce anything from ten acres if he
was remote from populous centers. 1t is
the same way with oyster ground; man
can make few hundred dollars from ten
acres if he is close to his market ii G near
shOre) but he would not think of attempt
ing to even, find SO small tract if he was
so or 100 miles from shore ! would,
therefore, be glad to see the operation of
the ten acre law confined TO the rivers and
creeks and to, say, a belt of bottom one
half mile from shore along the coasts of
North Carolina. The remainder of the
Sounds (bottom) | would put on the same
footing as unOccupied lands, permitting
their entry at merely nominal price and
allowing companies long tenure say 100
years or more. The object should be, not
to get few dollars for land or bottom, in
the present, but to encourage capital to
enter this field; to turn what is absolute
~ barren and useless property into pro-
life oyster beds which will in the future
bring large trade to the State, employ
large number of people and circulate
many iIllllOn dollars where not many
hundred now move. If man can have
the same privileges and rights over oyster
ground that he has over cotton or potato
field; can own it, mortgage it, sell it, will
it, or in fact do as he pleases with it, oys-
ter cultivation will spring up as matter
of course
1t seems to me that now is not only
good time, but the best possible time for
North Carolina to act in this matter. The
Chesapeake beds are failing. Neither
Maryland nor Virginia have taken any
steps to prevent the deterioration, nor are
they likely to do 50. Numbers of men
are looking for a new source of supply,
and are willing to make it if they have
the chance. With all the other conditions
against her, North Carolina can so ar
range her legislation that the preponder
ance of chances of success will incline to
her and capital and labor will be attract
ed to her waters, not because they are the
best but because there is greater surety
Of a fair return for the money invested.

AT ITS FLOOD.
THE SUMNER TRAVEL TO THE
WEST RETURNING.
Yet Those Who Stay to see Mountain
October will see the Finest Sight of

all.
Special Correspondence Of The chronicle.
AsHEvILLE, September 1.-The tide of
summer travel has reached It's food and
will soon begin to ebb. But not until the
glorious October days have come and gone
will the last of the long procession have
passed over the blue mountains to the
East and lost to sight, the fairest land the
sun shines on.
Glorious October days, When clear,
crisp, frosty nights and Indian Summer
have touched each leaf with magic brush
and changed the dark, green coat of every
wooded slope TO hues of richest color.
When the frost is on the pumpkin,
And the folders in the shock.
Those who leave before never know how
beautiful the mountains are and how good
1t Is to live among them.
The season has not brought so rich a
harvest as usual to hotel and boarding
house people, but the personnel of our
visitors has been above the average. 1t is
universally agreed that so many pretty
girls were never here before, and the
heart of many a stalwart mountain youth
Will winter in the South.
The grounds of the newly organized W.
N. G. Fair Association were thrown open
to the public last week, and thousands of
racing and exhibitions of fancy riding
and driving, closing with tournament on
Wednesday, in which ten Asheville
knights contended for the laurels- and
the cash. Over $400 was distributed in
premiums, and after paying all expenses a
small balance was left on hand. The first
fair will be held four days, beginning
September 80, and all the indications
point to a grand success.
The political atmosphere is growing
warmer by degrees. One of the 'splumed
knights" had his face slapped by Bour-
bon last week, but did not think it worth
while to resent it.
The Asheville Register will now have
chance to depict the horrors Of another
''brutal assault" such as was made ON
Truel, Radical candidate for Elector, at
Hendersonville the other day, when he
was knocked down by a young man whom
he alluded to in his speech as a $ jackass. ="
The further it goes the bigger it grows,
and the Greensboro North State says
Trull was assaulted by a ''crowd of
roughs." Little Joe Bryson is not very
numerous crowd when he is in a good hu-
NOR, but when he gets mad he's g a whole

hat q COnVentiOn!

Few towns on the civilized part of the
globe have had more picturesque or more
quarrelsome conventions than Raleigh has
had several times since 1865. Yet even
Raleigh never had more humiliating one
than the Republican county convention
which met last Saturday. The caucus
made a ticket. The convention met and
before a permanent chairman could be
chosen Mr.. Thos. Purnell exposed the eau
Gus, with great emphasis, declaring that
one candidate had spent 81, 800 in buying
votes in the convention, and that men
had been bribed at the mourners' benches
Then Bob Johnson and James II. Harris
(both coiored) called Mr.. Purnell liar
Hours passed in such pleasantries. Ser
geants- alarms were appointed with the
hope that order could be restored. One
delegate of color charged Mr.. NJ. A. Bled-
soc, the temporary chairman, with defeat
ing the convention by not allowing it to
elect a permanent chairman. Finally late
in the afternoon Mr.. J. G. L. Harris was
elected permanent chairman. And some
how Or other ticket was nominated, viz:
For the Senate, j. @. L. Harris; for the
House, J. H. Harris, E. NJ. Bledsoe, Jas.
A. Temple and Henry G. ChappeIl; for
Sheriff, J. Rowan Rogers; for Register of
Deeds, J. ?. H. Adams; for Treasurer, J.

An interesting glimpse is given by last
weeks Landmark, of Statesville, into the
home and the kennel Of Mr.. Wanmaker,
the famous dog fancier of Iredell. Mr..
Wanmaker came to North Carolina six
years ago, and engaged in the very prof.
table and pleasant, but in this region
altogether uncommon business of dog
raising and training. He has now in his
kennel 50 dogs and puppies-one red
Irish setter, Berkley," which has won
$6, 900 in prizes at bench shows and field
trials and has the finest record of any dog
in the world. For another animal, fe-
male pointer, which took the prize at the
High Point field trials three years ago,
Mr.. Wanmaker declined TO take 81 900,
and since that time has sold pups from
her for more than this. Five hundred
dollars is no unusual price for a pair. Mr..
Wanmaler's training season begins about
September 18th and continues through
the winter months.

be observed that he has regarded the sub

eiyes particular interest to his remarks.
He is fully committed to the proposition
TO turn natural oyster rocks, as well as
other workable areas, into to the hands of

Nerve and Capital.

To THE CHRoNICLE-As a citizen of
North Carolina, with no narrow views G
trust l am rejoiced to see the evidence of
a go-ahead spirit in Raleigh. You note
in your last number four new industries
of no mean capacity for manufacturing
Now I wish to see in Raleigh some effort
on the part of capitalists to sell the tobacco
grown in your own neighborhood Of
course you cannot expect to build up a
tobacco business in one or two years, but
unless you show disposition to handle
your tobacco it will always go to another
market. The distribution of seed was
good thing, but it needs something else;
you want men Of nerve and capital to
handle the business as it is developed; you
want confidence in the character and in
tegrity of men as well as money to back
them, and when your capitalists screw
their courage up to the point of conf
dence the success is certain. Try to work
your people up to some liberal notions of
business; in other words, some confidence
and your success as a business community
is certain. With love for you all,
Yours in the bonds of hard times.
