e GREAT BLOW TO HYDE.
Something of the August Storm. The Oyster
Industry.

Mr.. II. T. King, editor of the Greenville
Reflector, who has recently been Oil 4 TRIP
through Hyde county, writes:
"Our trip last week took US down into
lower BeaufOrt and Hyde counties. Ne
saw the storm swept august laet) coun-
try, where the waters of the Aabeonarlc
sound, overlooking its southern barks.
swept over Tyrrell, Dare and three
fCurthS of Hyde to the PamlicO, trans
forming that vast area into one body of
water, from two feet TO several in depth,
all trace OF Mattimuskeet lake, for the
time being disappearing. The extreme
west Of Hyde was not overlooked by that
vast body Of water, but the deluge Of
rain falling at that time covered all that
part with water, varying III depth from
a few inches TO two feet. Often we asked
the driver if certain places we were pass
ing We're covered with water and his an
sWer was always yes It seemed M
reasonable that those places should haze
been submerged. but it was true and
the damage can never be told. A farmer
told US that where he had generally been
getting several hundred barrels Ct corn
he got only sixty and that was fit for
nothing" The damage was far above
500, Gee. Stock suffered much. AT Wash
lngton one day We saw a boat load Of
corn 10 Hyde county. We were told It
was the first year on record that corn
had been shipped to Hyde. But the farm
ers are at work and a good year will make
them independent again.
The oyster bushes is a big bust

incalculable damage TO them. AMI what
the storm left are being wasted aud de-
stroyed If the general talk of violations
CT the oyster law and the laXity Of water
patrol service and inspectorship is hail
true. There is said to be much dredgire
in shallow water and great destruction OF
young oysters"

NO STRIKES THERE.

The York Cotton Mills, of Yorkyiiie.
S. G.. has devoted three per cent. from
the dividend to stockholders and Will
add it 70 the wages OF the operatives.
The wages Of some Of the employees
had already been increased 33 per
cent. Speaking Of the action. preSi-
dent Ashe said:
I'VE cannot but f~Oresee that there
must be an end to the present boom
some day. and when we get back to
the comparatively fat depression Of a
few years ago. if we " do. just as
we voluntarily increase wages now we
Will be compelled to reduce them
then.
Ihis spirit Of liberal deaiino with the
operatives Will produce the kindliest
feelings between employer and en-
ploye. il is safe to say there viii
never be any strike in the York Mills.

ANOTHER DELAY.

After delaying the hearing As long
as possible. the taking of testimony in
the ease of the Southern. Seaboard
and Atlantic Coast Line railroad
against Corporation Commission. has
been postponed until Judge Simont0n
can decide whether officers Of corpor-
ations IAN be compelled to bring their
books into conrt and disclose their net
and gross incomes. This will take
probably a month. Then there viii be
some other moofad point that viii
have TO be decided BY SimontOn. and
other matters Will be brought in TO
prevent a decision until after the at
iournment Of the Legislature Of 1901.
That is the programme. as this paper

menced.

z a OF HIS CHURCH

Many trust magnates. not content
with driving their competitors into
the p~OOr-hOuSe, permit no independ-
ence in the preachers who serve the
churches to which they belong. j. ID.
Rockefeller is the principal offender
in this respect. IN recent wears he
has driven two preachers from his
church. and the New York World SAYS
that he has driven Rev. II. G. Apple
gate, his pastor, into retirement be
cause OF a sentence in one of his ser
mons delivered last winter in which ne
illustrated one Of his points BY saying,
in effect. that while some persons
charged. Mr. Rockefeller with stealing
the money he gave to the church. he
had laid it on the altar and had thus
sanctitied it
The World says that this 50 en-
ragged Mr.. RockefelIer.' that he COM
PEELED the pastors resignation. In
stead Of becoming indignant. Mn.
Rockefeller ought TO have thanked the
preacher for stretching his conscience
for him. That's not the way with
these trust fellows. If a defender
even admits that they are Il little low
er than the angels they become flu
