those that are left are not inj ured and
sc on increasing and prosperlng. In
this latter case there is this very great
advantage also-that the oysters are al.
ways culled where they are caught, ana
the culls, small oysters and shells are
put Immediately back from where they
were taken and the grounds are left IN
good condition for rapid increase and
thrift.
1t is amazingly strange that the sad
fate which has befalen the oyster IN
Maryland and Virginia is not sufficient
to convince all mon, unbiased by
selfish motives and uninfuenced by
hope Of pecuniary reward, that
the life Of the States richest resources,
and the hope-almost the only hope OF
thousands Of poor, laboring, native North
Carolinians demand that the dredging
OF oysters IN any manner and everywhere
be absolutely prohibited.
1t is claimed by authorities to which
reference can be had, that the deeper
water oysters, of which there are but
few unavailable for tonging in Pamllco
sound, and they are advantageously dis
tributed for increasing and replenlshlng
the stock upon the shallower fields In
various sections of the SOUND, supply the
best and most reliable spot.
What has been said about Washington
in regard to her stuggle for limited
dredging is equally applicable to Eliza
beth City, Pasquotank county. Neither
Beaufort nor Pasquotank have any oys-
tiers in their waters and we admit that
capitalists have been unfortunate or
have made great mistakes in locating
their factories at these places, so far
away from the oysters and oystermen.
This is sad, and we condole with
them. but the proper remedy does
not consist in taking blood from every
| other part of the State.
Should Washington succeed in getting
her ''pet area" off the mouth of Pamli-
CO River, donated to her factories and
to the extensive planting corporation
near by, for 'dredging under proper
restrictions, we deem it no more than
right that E. City should receive sim
llaE favor in the extreme eastern section
of the sound As for the others, they
ask no special favors and are willing to
take their chances. trusting to a wise
Legislature whose decision they will
cheerfully abide g. E. NJ.

1T OUGHT TO PASS.

SENATOR ARDREY introduced resolu-

ate the sum of $500 for each Judge in
lieu of and in Communication of travelling
expenses. 1t was referred to the Judi
ciary committee. 1t ought to become a
law without a dissenting vote. This
Legislature has forbidden the use of free
passes, and placed heavy expense upon
the Judges for their travelling. 1t ought
to see to it that they are not burdened
with their expenses. In truth, the
State ought to pay for the board,
transportation and other expenses incur
red by Judges. 1t does this for all other
commissioners or officers called from

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory, and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tained is greatfully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec-
trio Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health, to the use of
the Great Alternative and Tonic. If YOU
are troubled with any disease of the Kid
neys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short
standing, you will surely find relief by
use Of Electric Bitters. Sold at SOC. and

STENOGRAPHERS FOR COURTS.

There are three bills pending before
the General Assembly to provide OH
cial stenographers for the Superior
courts. We know but little as to the rel
alive merits of these bills, but one OF
them should pass. More than half OF
the states have such stenographers A
distinguished lawyer, who has seen the
advantages of stenography in his prac.
tice. has written to all of these States,
and the universal reply is that the saw
ing in time by having stenographers
very more than pays their cost. MR.
SUTTON has certificates from all OF the
solicitors in South Carolina, declaring
their experience to be the same.
Every lawyer knows the great trouble.
frequently at the expense of justice, in
having cases properly presented to the
Supreme Court upon appeal. Every
attendant upon the Courts has frequent
ly seen the loss of time over debates as
to what the witnesses testified. 1t is al
most impossible to convict of perjury
now, because of the different recollec-
tion of the bystanders as to what the
alleged perjurer swore. These and 9th
er evils would be remedied by having
stenographers to take down in full a
complete photograph of all that trans
pires in the courtroom during the
progress Of the trials.
We understand that one of the bills
provides for the payment of the salary
of the stenographer by the counties in
proportion to the taxable property OF
the counties, upon the principle that
the saving in time would be of most
benefit to the counties, and they should
bear the burdens.
Another provides for the employment
of stenographers by the Judge, they
being paid by the State, and the State
being recouped by charge of $500 il
criminal actions and $500 in civi
ones in the bill of costs. The repor
of the Attorney General shows that las
year there we're 6,326 convictions il
criminal actions. A charge of 500
in each case would have raised S12,
552-more than sufficient to repay tn,
State for twelve stenographers at 81, ,00(
each. The deficit caused by insolven
defendants would have been more thar
made up by the tax in the civil actions
So, if the latter bill should pass it woult
require no money out of the treasury
and be but a trifling tax upon litigants
which would be more than repaid t.
them in the saving of the time OF their at
tendance, and that Of their witnesses
upon the courts.
There is crying need that we shoul
keep abreast with other States. All th
leading business men in the countr
have their stenographers and type-wri
ers. Why should not North Carolin
run her courts upon business primo
pies?

class and description of property they
might chance to own. Would such men
as these consent to establish their for
tunes with US, 80 long az the method OF
raising taxes, remains uncertain?
1T therefore seems to me that the
question Of general or special taxes
should be quickly settled, az it will de-
termine whether excessive or moderate
rates will prevail. General tax SHOULD
be defined as applying only to the main
tenance of the necessary departments Of
city governmental needs of the city
government, and that only.
Let special taxes apply to all things
else. Under these conditions we shall
have prosperity. Let the question Of
taxes be clearly defined and finally set
tied in this way and you will be following
the rule Of many pretentions and pros
porous cities. For every property holder
and for all citizens sf every class, expe-
ricnce has clearly proved this course to
be wisest and best.
