for several years before. Much of this
cotton came from very near towns

TO sustain a few political office ho.d-

The scarcity of oysters in the Nor
folk and Baltimore markets has made
n big demand for the oysters from North
Carolina waters, and quantities of oys-
tiers from these waters have been and are
being taken in the shell for the Northern
markets where they are sold to the
trade properly labelled to suit the de-
mand of the trade, which wants good
oyster.
1t is not necessary to state that these
oysters never have the North Carolina
brand marked on them
The Virginia oyster interests are now,
according to reports, receiving careful
attention, both in the way of securing
a State revenue from the natural bed
and in the way of increasing the
quality and value of the crop.
From statements published. few
years ago the net income to Virginia from
its oyster beds was about $500. but under
the management of the Virginia Board
of Fisheries, the income is now in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
Proper legislation on the North Caro-

Houston, Texas, baud, sent ont by
the railroad as an advertisement
for an excursion on the Pee Gee

railroad.
Our police department is some
thing on the ethical order, and
they feel like when a band comes
here to play for any kind of amuse-
ment, shows, picnic or what not,
that the band master should look
up the marshal or mayor and get
guarantee that they are entitled to
split the air and leave their foot
imprints upon the streets OF our
city. This is not the first band
that has been pulled, though we
do not believe one has ever been
made to pay fine, since the city
has been established. If there is
never to be fine imposed, we
think it well enough to drop this
custom of worrying our visiting
guests by arresting them as it
does our city no good to pull even
the negroes who come into our
our gates on a mission of business,

A PRETTY WEDDING.
Mr.. Joe E. Kirby and Miss Annie
Turner Wed in Church,

This Morning, at $50, the mar
riage of Mr.. Joe E Kirby aud Miss
Annie Turner, was solemnized at
the State Line Methodist church
Rev. D. f. C. Timmons officiating
The church was filed with the
friends of the bride and groom, long
before the arrival hour, and before
the carriages containing the we'd
ing party came in sight, the church
entrance was packed and the win
dows on the outside acted as peep
holes for many.
The first carriage contained the
groom his bride, her father and the
groom's best man, Mr.. Clarence
Taylor.
The groom and Mr.. Taylor enter
the church first, followed by the
sister of the bride, little Miss Beth
ell Turner, and then came the faith
er of the bride, Mr., P. A. Turner
with the tride on his arm, while the
wedding march was being rendered
by Miss Pearl Spearman, the pro-
cession moved in the order given up
the aisle to the altar, where Rever-
end Timmons read the beautiful
marriage service making them man
and wife.
The church had been beautifully
decorated with flowers and ever
green's and made a pleasing place
for the consumation of love affair
ending in a wedding
We noticed in the aisle, the we'd
ding party entered, a beautiful
floral horse shoe, which is recogn-
lied the world over, as the emblem
of good luck, and over the aisle
through which the procession left
was floral ship over which were the
letters that formed the words Bon
Voyage, " which was the sentiment
that all felt for the couple in atten-
dance.
The ushers at the church were
the grooms best friends, and we're
Messrs. G, G. Brengle, A. M, Scruggs
Sam S. Solinsky and Mr.. VIII Fur
guson.
Mrs. f, L. Wisdom rendered the
couple a wedding breakfast which
was accepted and no doubt enjoyed.
After the wedding and congratula-
tions, the couple was driven to the
X, G p & q. depot where they
boarded a sleeper for Kansas City
and ST. Louis, on a trip of pleasure.
The couple are from our best
families, and both have a world of
friends-and but one wish perme-
ates the breast Of our people, and
that one is, that their lives in each
others company, will be one of hap
mess and prosperity.

SAN FRANCISC0'S CHARTER
Is BEFORE THE GOVERNOR
Passed the Senate by Unanimous Vote Without Debate,
and Only Awaits the Governors Signature
to Become Law.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, sACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 19.-The San Francisco
charter has now passed both branches Of
the Legislature, and of the 120 members
of the Senate and Assembly, but one lone
and solitary Assemblyman could be found
to oppose 1t. That Assemblyman was
Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento.
AS far as legislative action is concerned
the charter Is now disposed of, for it was
finally adopted in the Senate this morn
ing.
When the charter came up in that body
Senator Wolfe moved that 1t be referred
to the San Francisco delegation.
Senators Cutter, Curtin and Sims Wig
orously opposed the proposition of Sena-
tor Wolfe on the ground that as the peo-
pleof San Francisco or a majority Of them
have approved of the charter 1t was clear
ly the duty of the Legislature to ratify
that action.
Senator Davis of Amador, who is one
OF the most impressive speakers on the
floor of the Senate. opposed the motion
in a most vehement speech, during the
course of which he said:
ut does not make the slightest differ
ence to US what the San Francisco dele
CATION thinks of this charter. Whether
they favor it or whether they oppose 1t
is to us matter of perfect indifference.
The Senate needs no command or man
date from that delegation as to what
1t should do with regard to this charter.
The Senate cannot amend the instrument.

BILLS BEFORE THE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 19.-The Assem-
bly's Judiciary Committee transacted
large amount of important business at it's
session tonight. 1t not only recommend
ed for passage Mr.. Meserve's bill reduc-
ing the number of Superior Judges in
San Bernardino County to one but also
recommended the passage of Assembly
bill No 149, which, if successful, will
amend the Code of Civil Procedure In
reference to appeals to the Supreme
Court from interlocutory judgments in
actions to declare what are deeds and
what are mortgages. Bill No 1872 was also
recommended for passage. It provides for
the satisfaction of mortgages which have
been foreclosed.
Delegates from the Horseshoers' Asso-
citation appeared before the committee in
support of a measure introduced by Sena-
islature and Mr.. Cobb in the Assem-
bly,, which has for its object the licensing
OF hOrSeShoerS and compelling members
OF the trade 10 pass an examination be

Cobb addressed the committee at length,
as did also p. w. Commins, State pres-
dent of the Master Horseshoers' Associa-
ton, and president of a San Francisco
council, and Mr.. Johnson, a member Of
the local organization
Mr.. Commins pointed out the import
ance of the proposed enactment and eX-
planned to the committee that a petition
in favor of 1t had been signed by 700 shops
and 1000 workmen, and also that leading
and horse breeders throughout the State
had Endorsed the measure. Mr.. Commins
said it was not the object Of the bill to

JUSTUS S. WARDELL
RETAINS HIS SEAT

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 19.-Justus s. Wardell will
retain his seat in the Assembly as rep
resentative of the Thirty-ninth District.
The contest of Leon Jones before the As
sembly Committee on Contested Elections
came to an end this evening and the COM
mittee will recommend such course.
Chairman Cosper did not join in the con-
clusion reached by the members of the
committee, as he had not attended its ses-
sions, owing to the necessity of his being
present at the investigation of Speaker
Wright. He said he intended going over
the ground covered by the committee. and.
If satisfied with. the law in the premises,
would vote with the majority.
Ex-Assemblyman Frank Powers, attor-
ney for Leon Jones, appeared before the
committee and argued earnestly IN favor
of his client. He stated that waving
technicalities Mr.. Jones would have won

1t must be adopted or rejected as a whole.

wishes should be respected by the Legis-
lature There is not a member on the
floor who was elected In 1898 who Is not
pledged to vote to approve this charter.
and we should vote to approve 1t without
delay"
Senator Simpson Of Los Angeles also
favored the proposition to vote to approve
the charter without further reference or
delay.
Senator Smith of Kern County an
nounced that he favored the charter, but
If good reasons could be given why it
should be referred he was willing to vote
to do so.
Senator Wolfe finally simplified mat
tiers by withdrawing his motion to refer
He explained that he had opposed the
adoption of the charter by the people of
San Francisco, but when the question
came up in the Senate he thought that he
would be tempted to vote to ratify II,
even though only by narrow margin a
majority Of his constituents had voted in
favor of the charter.
The vote was then taken on the ques-
ton of ratification, and thirty-five Sena-
tors voted aye. After the result had been
announced Senators Hoey and Feeney en-
tered and requested that they be record
ed as voting aye. but President Flint
ruled that this could not be done. So re-
ally the charter had thirty-seven sup
porters. with three Senators absent.
