THE NORTH cARo1ANA HUNT.
Postmaster Moore for tims to day In
tetestei a number OF tho Senators and
Representatives by telling his experience
on tho recent cunning trip In North Car.
oliha. IL was not a dear trip but 1t was a
deer trip. de did not bal,eve that he ever
heid all experiences meeting Tor five hours
by himself before. He stood that length
OF lime at one place EateBing tho deer to
come by but 1t proved to lie case of
deadlock. Representative Mustard lost
November tifteen days good sport last
AS lie did not know that the law was
In force on the FIRST OF ths month.
Speaker Watson and Inc Sussex County
farmers want the time changed from
November lst to December lst.
1he genial speaker Gays that tho birds
In his part arc hardly able TO take care of
themselves willie Representative Mustard
says that the Sussex men want them to be
too big, or AS senator harrington says as
big as turkeys anu at cignt and ten cents
apiece.
John +. Salisbury maintains that the
best shooting to lie Ind la English snipe
from traps. He Remembered when the
10000 Msssina quail wore brought over
to this country and not ono or them was
seen but one tn II fell on u snip 500 miles
out from land.
The message from the Governor to
both houses to-day npnold5 what has
been sad IN my former ie.ters-nu power
Is given to tho Governor to appoint sue.
cessors to the praseuu state detectives.
Such was the opinion giyon by the states
attorney.
1t Is the opinion OF many that tho LsR.
isiature should pass the leg station asked
Tor. hut that II would not DO the rig ht
thing to appoint two new men. Men of
both parties here are OF the opinion that
Detective WltSli should bs retained. He
has made an efficient state officer and the
Democratic henate Will not pnss the bill
which Will GUST HIN from Office.
The Sussex county men remember TINT
wien tho local authorities fuilsd that
Witsil obtained the Information which
convicted Lodge He worried the case so
claverly that tho lawyers for the defense
congratulated him when the nbortionst
was convicted. OF course. time will tell
things better than prediction. but 1t Is
snfo to say that Witsll stands q good
chance.
THE NEW CASTLE QUARRY.

Castle will no doubt iosa their bill in ref
erence 10 the opening Of stone quarry.
Speaker McMuIlsn to day maintained
that the taxpayers OF tho county object to
the bill. just imagine live acres OF ground
walled In so that tho prisoners could not
escape. Aud Just imagine $4,000 to be
paid for II. 1t does not matter q rsp about
the machinery, but level headed people
know that fifty tons OF stone can DO
broken for half the cost by the prisoners.
THE STATE MILITIA

weekly drills.
Ihe great trouble heretofore at the en-.
campmenLs was that thG Governors staff
went Into camp. HIS was eoInething that
ut up considerable OF tho money. The
staff do not baiong to the active service
and II would be enough for them to come
the same day that the Governor did and
then tho members of The staff show bad
example tn the mon by going through the
lines aud tho men are sure to follow the
example.
