REFUSE OYSTER SHELLS.
Maryland Foots Up IL, 0oo, 900 Ton During
This Century.

The waters Of Maryland produce one
third Of the oyster supply in the world.
Il yields twice as many Of these luscious
bipalVes as are grown in all foreign
countries combined. During the present
century it has put the market 400,
000, 600 bushels Of the toothsome
mollusss. These have sold for the enor-
nous sum Of $3.50, GOO, 900. Almost all of
this country is dependent for the abuu-
dance and oheapness of this edible on the
supply of the Chesapeake. Erosa here
also come very nearly all of the oysters
used for canning. IL faot, the output
of this industry of Mury land is equal to
United States put together, says the
Philadelphia Times.
The quantity of oyster shells landed
upon the Shores of Maryland during the
last century hiss been reckoned at 10 00O,-
900 tons. Until gerry lately the canning
firms have had much trou BILE in getting
rid of tho shells, having to pay, in fact,
for the removal of all that they could not
give away. Recently. however, they
have bsen allie to sell Them They are
now shipped to all parts Of the coantry
and ere utilized variously for roads, for
lime and employed in making coal gas.
They have also been found to serve al
most as well as stone in the manufacture
of special grades of iron for railway beds.
Cultivators of oysters also employ them,
having found that they afford suitable
surfaces for young oysters Co attach
themselves to. They are likewise used
to some extent as chicken food. They
are very good foC hens, the shells being
largely made of them. The trade re-
oeived Ss5. QUO in single year for the
empty shells.
Starashes are the oysters worst enemy
Other animals the young bivalves have
TO guard against are crabs and boring
snaiis. They are also In danger of being
tied by mud. In Pacific waters sting
rays are their most fearful foes. The
little crab that lives in the shell of the
oyster has always excited much interest
1t is found in about per cent of the
biyalves. 1t Ia a sord of parasite of the
oyster, whose she'll protects it and whose
food supports it.

THE MYSTIC SHRINE.

4 big Time at Charlotte by the Mem
beers From the two Carolinas.
There was big time in Charlotte
Friday night. The mobiles of the Mys-
tic Shrine of Oasis Temple gathered to-
gether from all parts of North and
South Carolina in order to have a royal
good time and do honor to Imperial
PotentStte bingham. of the United
States, who came all the way from
Washington City to be present with
the mobiles of this Temple. The camels
and other wild animals of the desert
had been specially cared for and were
in good condition and rendered most
excellent service. The sands had
been heated seven time hotter than
ever before and the dizzy peaks of
Mount Ararat seemed to the tremb-
ling noyices most difficult to ascent.
There were seven victims present who
had expressed a desire to join the cara
van which was then forming to cross
the desert. The earth yawned the ST
moons descended, the traditional ami
mails brayed and the Arabs yelled, while
the terror stricken victims looked on
with wonder and surprise. They were
conducted safely to the end of their
journey where they found a green and
fetile oasis richly supplied with lus-
cious fruits and good things to eat
and although foot sore and weary they
found that there had been previously
provided the necessary balm to soothe
them and plenty of camel's milk to
refresh their weary souls. There is
only one mystic Shrine in North and
South Carolina and that one is located
at Charlotte and the mobiles gather
there several times during each year
in order to manifest their devotion
to the Hemple and to assist the unini-
tiated in their lonely pilgrimage
through the mysteries of the order

Justice Roberts is trying to arrange
joint debate on the issues of the
campaign between John r. Upchurch
and Bose Newsom, the Democratic and
Republican candidates for constable
in this township. He has selected
Sawyer's Bottom and the Bowery as
the speaking places, as these, he thinks,
are the vicinities where the successful
candidate will have principally to ex-
ercise his official duties. He believes
that the people who live in these neigh
borhoods ought, therefore, to be al
lowed to see and hear the man who is
to arrest them for the next two years.

FEW CHALLENGES SUSTAINED.
Republican Repeaters Are Detected in
Their Schemes.

Yesterday was Trial day." and the
cases of those challenged last Saturday
was heard and passed upon by the reg
istrars and judges of election.
In Outside West only two challenges
were sustained. In Outside East some
30 names, all of them Republicans,
were stricken off the book.
In the Second, Third and Fourth
wards five names each were stricken
off. In the First ward three challenges
were sustained. All these were Repub-
leans.
Though about As students in Wake
Forest township were challenged, only
five of the challenges were sustained.
The names of two negroes were also
stricken from the books.
In most of the country precincts the
challenges were very light, but. for
the most part, when made they were
sustained
Section 16 of the new election law
provides that no man who has removed
from one precinct into another since
the last election shall be allowed to reg
lister in another precinct unless he pre-
SCENTS certificate from the registrar
of the precinct from which he has re-
moved stating that his name has been
erased from the registration book.
Notwithstanding this plain and
emphatic provision of the law, about
100 negro voters registered in the city
of Raleigh and in Raleigh township
without certificates, leaving their
names on other registration books in
the county and, when challenged, al
ter the Registration books had been
closed, they obtained certificates of
removal from the Republican regis
trars, and the certificates were recog-
nized in the hearing Of the challenges
Yesterday in such a manner as to allow
the names challenged to remain upon
the books.
1t seems perfectly clear that 1t was
the original intention of these men to
perpetrate a fraud by voting IN more
than one place, but when detected in
their nefarious scheme they were ena-
bled, by the partisan registrars, to heal
the defect, so as to keep their names
on the books and will be allowed to
vote. The names of all these men are
known and they viii probably be in
Ilicted if they vote.
