This interesting measure is another il
lustration of the principle that eternal
vigilance is the price of commercial
prosperity. The Department of Mollusks
of the Smithsonian Institution has point
ed out the circumstance that the Ameri-
can fresh water mussel is in danger of
determination through the zeal Of hunters
pursuing it with nets. rakes, scoops and
mechanical contrivances operated by
steam power; and upon the preserva-
ton of the Mississippi River mussel beds
depends the existence of the important
pearl button industry, giving employment
to large number of persons and produc-
ing a very considerable revenue.

utteranceS of Goebel---whether or not he
said as has been alleged by some reput-
able persons, 1T was not they who did
| it,"
Finally, it would have halted Suspicion,
who is shooting her darts in every direc-
tion, not even sparing that most faith
full follower of Goebel-he who was as
loyal to him as ever was Jack Falstaff to
Prince Hal.
Indeed, / may say that with a basis of
Mrs. Saffels statement, of GoebePs al
legged dying utterances, of the strange
failure to hold a coroner's inquest, he or
any one of Goebels followers may have
done the shooting. This seems an absurd
conclusion, and the attempt to explain
away its absurdity are far from salts
factory; but such as they are | give them.
1t is advanced that the killing was not
Intentional; that it was not even intend
ed seriously to injure GOebel; that the
idea was merely to perforate Goebels
overcoat and SO enable the playing of the
potent card of attempted assassination.
l give this theory not as contribution
to the solution of the mystery, but to
show how absolutely necessary thor
ough investigation, an impartial investi-
CATION, a public investigation, of all the
facts of this tragedy has become.
1t is not right that Republican leaders
should be suspected. 1t is not right that
the anti -Goebel Democratic leaders
should be made the subjects of innuendo.
1t is not right that the faithful and de-
voted followers of the dead leader should
be whispered against. Finally it is i'm
perative for the good name of the State
that this mystery should be explained
and punishment meted out to the perpe-
TRAITOR or perpetrators of this most often
sive and dangerous of all forms of murder
political assassination.

JIM CROW LAW IN COURT.
Startling Developments About Shell
Fish Business Promised.
Especial to News and Observer

Newbern, n. c., March 1O:-The Shell
Fish Board met at this place on the 2Sth
uto Their proceedings have not been
given out for publication. There will be
some startling developments ere long. Its
members are very reticent. The Force
able Trespass case did not come up in
this criminal court judge Dorsey Battle
presiding neither the prosecutor or Ad-
miral White put in their appearance.
Judge Battle put into effect the Jim
Crow" assigning the negroes on the one
side and the white attendants on the 9TH
er of the court room. Hitherto there has
been a mingling of the two races-the
intrusion among the whites-being made
by the negroes, much to their discomfi-
ture.
The popularity of the Amendment is
growing daily, and from all section we
learn of the whites determination to
eliminate ignorant negro suffrage and
bring about a publication of State poll
tics.
Revenue Doodle William Pool, of the
First District, we learn. is actively can
vassing for the nomination for Congress.

TO PROTECT SMALL MUSSELS.
A Bill of Palpitating Importance that
Certainly Ought to Pass.

Senate bill No. $3.50 extends the mighty
protection of the Federal Government to
the following classes of mOlluskS subject
to the jurisdiction of the United States:
The Niger head mussel, or Quadrula ebena.
The Butterfly mussel, or Plagiola securis
The Mucket. or Iampsills ligamentlnus.
The Buckham mIssel or Tritigonia verrucosa.
The yellow sandshell mussel, or Lampsilis ano-
dontoides.
The Black sandslell mussel, or Lampsis
tus.
If the bill becomes a law, the Quadrula
ebena is safe from capture anywhere in
the fresh waters of the United States
until it attains a diameter of two and
one half inches, the small Plagiola Sc
curis may repose in perfect security upon
its native mudbank alongside of the Mig
gerhead the Mucket and the Buckhorn
have nothing to fear till they grow to
three and one-half inches on the major
axis, and all the Sadshelfs. both yellow
and black, up to four inches, are under
Federal guarantee of life, liberty and the
undisturbed pursuit of happiness. The
Stars and Stripes wave over them all.
This same paternal bill provides close
season for these mussels, says the New
York Sun, and all other mussels, little
or big, from the first of February to the
HrSt ol every year. furtner, IL proVlues
that every mussel bed shall be immune
from commercial invasion during two con-
secutive years out of every four and
that no mollusk shall be abducted at any
time from its muddy Eden without pre-
liminary measurement by Government
gauge in order to ascertain whether 1t is
undersized according to the dimensions
of exemption in its particular class. Con-
siderable fines with the alternative of a
term of Imprisonment are imposed upon
the mussel gatherer who shall violate
the law; and 1.-The taking of each musseI
shall be deemed separate offence.

Forges and Foundries In 0lden Times-Pos.
sbiIites of the Future.

We have received from Mr.. John S.
Norwood, Of Dresden, Abbeville county,
South Carolina, a sample of very fine
magnetic iron ore, of which he says
there Is an abundant supply in that
county. Col. J. L. Black, of Blacks
burg, Cherokee county, South Carolina.
has furnished during the past year or
two considerable quantities of the same
kind of ore to the Cherokee furnace of
the Empire Steel and Iron company at
Greensboro N. G. The existence in
South Carolina of iron ore Of excellent
quality has long been known. In our
Iron in All Ages" we have full details
of an active iron industry that existed
in that state in the last century and
down to 1856, soon after which year the
last fire in it's various iron enterprises
was put out.
In the northwestern part Of South
Carolina, including the counties of
Union, Spartanburg, Cherokee and
York. are valuable deposits Of magnetic
ore, and here the first iron works in the
state were erected by Mr.. Burlington in
1773, but were destroyed by the Tories
during the Revolution. Soon after the
revolution both furnaces and forges
were built in York county, and about
1915 there was a sheet mill in the county:
also a nail factory. In 1902 an air fur
mace was erected on a neck of land be-
tween Cooper and Ashley rivers, where
good castings are said to have been
bloomeries in Spartanburg county In
1910 four in Pendleton county, two in
Greenville county and one In York
county-nine in all. He also mentions
one small nai,ery and one small steel
furnace in the state. He makes no ref
erence to blast furnaces. In the CEN
sus of 1910 there were four blast fur
naces in South Carolina and nine
bloomeries, forges and rolling mills. In
1856 South Carolina had eight furna-
ces-one in York, one in Union and six
in Spartanburg county. They are de-
scribed by Lesley. Four of these fur
naces were then IN operation, but the
other four had been virtually abandon
ed In 1856 there were also three roll
ing mills in the state-one in York, one
in Union and one in Spartanburg coun-
ty, all of which were active in that
year.
Owing to the entire absence Of miner
nj fuel it is perhaps too much to hope
that South Carolina will soon see a re-
vival of the manufacture of iron with
in it's borders but it is not at all i'm
probable that in the near future it's
valuable deposits of iron ore will be
mined and shipped on a large scale.
Better railroad facilities than now ex-
ist would hasten this end.-Bulletin

FEATURES OF SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
Nine Million Dollars and American Vessels
In Foreign Trade.

These are the principal provisions of
the ship subsidy bill. now being push
ed through the senate:
Subsidies to American vessels in for
eign trade, based on gross tonnage of
ships and mileage.
Subsidies are calculated to offset the
difference in the cost of building and
navigating American vessels compar-
ed with British vessels.
American vessels already built are
subsidized for ten years; vessels to be
hereafter built for. 20 years.
The maximum subsidy payable in
any one year is 100000. At the pres
ent time the expenditure would be
about $4,500,O0O a year.
When $4,000, 900 is reached subsidies
are to be reduced pro rata as American
shipping increases.
Uniform subsidy to all American ves-
sells Of one and one-half cents gross
ton for each 100 nautical miles, not ex-
ceeding 1,500 miles, sailed outward
bound. The same rate for each 1000
sailed homeward bound. and one cent
a gross ton for each additional 100 nau-
tical miles sailed, on each entry, not
exceeding 16 in any twelve consecutive
months.
Special rates to faster steamships,
graded according to their speed, to off,
set the mail subsidies paid by foreign
governments, varying from 5-10th of
one cent gross ton for vessels of more
than 1000 gross tons, and Of twelve
knots and less than fourteen knots
for vessels Of more than 10000 gross
tons and Of "a knots and more speed.
A 10-knot ship, with a mileage Of
AZ, 900 per annum, would earn $48, 300. A
Is knot ship, with mileage Of $4,000
miles per annum, would earn SAL, ,76O.
21 knot ship, with a mileage Of $500
miles per annum, would earn 1904, ,29O.
Admits to American registry all for
eign steamships owned by Americans
on January 1, 1900, and entities such
steamships to half subsidies. Before
these foreign-built steamships can be
registered and receive subsidy, owners
must build in the United States corre-
spending steamships, as in the case Of
the New York and st. Paul.
All vessels receiving subsidy are re-
quired to carry the ocean mails Of the
United States free Of charge, and may
be impressed as auxiliary cruisers and
transports.
The Canadian system of bounties for
deep sea fisheries is also included in
the bill.-The Ship Subsidy Bill.
