The New Districts.

The following is the arrangement

joint committee:

Second Observation-Disclosures, Moth

Fourth district-Wake, Wayne.

Fifth district-Granville, Chatham.

Twelfth dlstrict-Buncombe, Mad.
ison, Haywood. Jackson, Macon,
Clay, Cherokee, Graham and Swain.
From the above we see that there
are irregularities In the positions OF
the counties forming the separate
districts. For instance take your
map and look q, Craven county, 1t
is in the second district witt Halifax
and Edgecombe, tn. II you see some
counties are skipped AID Craven put
in. We agree with the editorial Of
the New Berne Journal on "a Higher
Sense of Right" The Jousnal says
that the Star alluded to a higher
sense of right in regard to the no
fence law, but when it and the News
Observer, the great dailies of Gun
State and those which are most wide
iy rcad-saw the claims of Craven
county thus ignored, they were boil
silent. We fear that the districts
nave been formed more for the con-
venience and benefit of certain indi-
vidua's, unknown to US. than for the
convenience and benefit OF the coun-
t IS. We do not claim TO know al
about the formatio of districts. w
