FINE CROP OF DEMOCRATS.
Chairman Dockery Recommends That
They Be Trimmed Out.

ut is worth a long trip to see the
State farms on the Roanoke river" said
Mr.. Claudius Dockery yesterday. He is
chairman Of the penitentiary Board of
Director and has been down to the farms
on tour of inspection.
THE crops are fine, very fine. And
the crop of Democrats-offcials on these
farms--is entirely too fine The growth
is too luxuriant and the fruits are too
abundant
What do you recommend in a case of
that kind?'' 1 asked.
IAN official scythe to cut them down.
Wen try it on 'em in August" he re-
piled, laughing.
Mr.. Dockery is very much pleased with
what he saw ON these farms. He saws
they are immense. There is one field of
corn nine miles long and another with
5000 acres in it under cultivation. There
are 5000 acres of corn, which will yield
125,OOO bushels, and $500 acres in cot
ton, which will yield 1000 bales There
are 1000 acres in field peas The rain
fall has been insufficient and the corn is
not so large as it should be, but it is
young and has improved very much re-

APPEAL TO SCHOOL OFFICIALS
Supt. Mebane Asks Them to Help Garry
the Local Taxation Election.

Superintendent Mebane yesterday sent
out the following letter to the County
Supervisors of public schools all over the
State, urging them to put forth every
effort to carry the local taxation election
August 10:
Dear Sir: The reorganization of the
public school system of North Carolina,
according to the act of the last General
Assembly, is now complete.
The working force OF the system con-
sists of the State Board of Education,
the State Superintendent of Public In
struction, the County Boards of Educa-
ton, the County Supervisor, the town
ship committee and the teachers. We
must work together. We must make a
success of our efforts to educate the
masses in North Carolina. As head of
the system for the State I shall expect
much of you. The first object before us
is to carry the local taxation election Au-
gust 10 "for schools" We have a great
opportunity here and great responsibility.
Local taxation is the only hope of build
ing up our public school system; it is the
only hope Of educating the poor children.
If we would have twenty-six weeks
ISchool for them instead of twelve weeks,
if we would make North Carolina one of
the most intelligent States instead of
one of the most illiterate, we must get
the people to vote for local taxation.
Therefore 1 come to you with the re-
quest that you personally do all you can
to carry the coming election "for
schools" that you send out speakers,
workers and literature, if possible; that
you officially prepare letter for the
school committee of your county, urging
them to work for local taxation in their
respective townships. Organize the
county thoroughly. Show the people
what little the tax will amount to and
what great things it will do for them.
Go to the office of the Register of Deeds
and make a table of one or two town
ships and show to the public how little
will be the burden each me will have to
bear and how great things will follow
for the schools Of the townships that
vote for the local tax.

| Superintendent Public Instruction for

OUR FISHING INTERESTS.
Commissioner Hamrick Trying to Get
Statistics About Them.

Two of the most important industries
of North Carolina are its fisheries and
truck farming. And strange to say il
is of these that we know least, so far
as statistics are concerned.
No accurate information has ever
been collected as to the extent of the
trucking industry, the people engaged
i'll it or the amount of money it yearly
brings into the State. And not much
more has been done in regard to our
fisheries.
The present Labor Commissioner, Mr.
Hamrick has undertaken to remedy
this defect. He has prepared and sent
out blanks to all the principal fishers,
truckmen and dealers, asking for figures
and facts touching these industries. The
blanks relative to the fishing interests
of the State were sent out first and are
already beginning to be sent back. Two
fish markets made returns yesterday
Wilmington and Plymouth.
The total estimated value of the fish
cries at Wilmington is $1S5,000. During
the past year there have been 100000
mullets caught there, valued at S125,OO0
Other fish taken were: 5000 pounds OF
herring, $500 pounds of blue fish, TO-
600 pounds of menhaden, 10000 pounds
of perch, $1,000 pounds of shad, $4,000
pounds of rock fish and 100000 of al
other kinds. In addition to this 100000
crabs were caught, 500 bushels OF
shrimps, 1000 turtles, 1880 bushels OF
clans, 5000 bushels of oysters and 2,00C
pounds of sturgeon.
-Four hundred people are employed in
fisheries on shore. -Four hundred vessels
are engaged in fishing and three in
transporting fish. Two hundred seins
are used. The total value of the outfit
is estimated at $4,000.
The Plymouth fisheries are on much
smaller scale. The total value of the
fish taken there during the year is est
mated at only $4,000. During the
year 100000 herrings were caught
5000 pounds of perch, $4,000 pounds OF
shad 5000 pounds of rock fish and TO-.
600 of all other kinds of fish.
At this place one hundred and one per-
sons are employed in the fishing industry
and twenty boats are engaged in fish.
ing. Five seins are used, four eight
horse engines and four horses being
used to haul them.
There are seventeen counties in North
Carolina having frontage on the ocean
or on the sounds tributary thereto. all
of which maintain more or less impor-
tant fisheries. These in their geographi.
cal order, beginning at the north, are
Currituck, Camden, Pasquotank, Perqui
mans. ChOwan. BERTHE, Washington
Tyrsll, Dare. Hyde, Pamlico, Craven
Carteret, Onslow, Fender, New Hanover
and Brunswick. There are also nine adj
ditional counties situated at some dis
lance from the coast and abutting or
rivers in which commercial fishing il
prosecuted. These are Gates and Hert
ford counties, on the Chowan river
| Martin county on the Roanoke river
Beaufort, Pitt and Edgecombe counties
on Tar river and its termination, thu
Pamlico: LenOir county, on the NeusC
| river, and Duplin and Sampson coun
| ties, on the Cape Fear river.

ports from all these.

1t is not known exactly how the fire

opinion that the night-hostler, Jim Ivey.
the colored man who looks after the
engines at night, accidentally let some

made his round at that time, went into

the burning cab was extinguished it was
found that the door to the furnace was
still closed. 1t was at first thought that
the fire was started by tramps. but that
is hardly probable, though several were
found sleeping in ears in the yard.

i'll this paper, by reason of a Topographic

were $50 or $135, the principle remains
the same. The Council of State had no
