The States Oyster Laws,

The following is the report of
J. w. Denmark, who fo1 FIVE
years has been chief clerk IN the
State Treasury:
1.-The oyster laws of N. c.
should be Of interest to every
citizen, because the oyste, beds
and and the oysters growing on
them are public property. For
the five years, 1890 to 1894, in
elusive, the total income into the
Treasury from the execution of
oyster laws was only SI,769 40,
while the expenditures from tn
State Treasury on same account
were S2o,I7Q o5, showing a loss
to the State of SI8,4o0 SO in the
five years under the laws of I8o 5.
Theophilus White was put ia
charge OF the execution of the
oyster laws. Since May, 1895,
he has turned into the Treasury
S34,377.2o at a total expense Of
S27 ,628 Oh, more than $4,000 of
this expense being chargeable to
account of steamer Lille. With
all this he has turned into the
Tre asury, as will be seen, So, ,73o
10, or more than 900 per year
more than has gone out on his
expense account. The beds have
been developed aud the quality
and quantity of the oysters great
ly improved.

THE COTTON MILL AS
A PROMOTER OF
POPULATION.

During the past few days The
Observer has printed some in>
terestlng information about
North Carolina towns and coun~
ties from the reports Of the r.
cent Cencus. There has been an
increase III the population OF all
the counties Ill the State except
ten since 1890. In some instau~
Ces the increase has been re-
markably large, and is is worth
noting that in each county that
IN each county that shows a
marked increase, there has been
a development Of the cotton mil~
ling industry in tee past tea
years. CASTOR, Cabar1us, Stanlv,
Durham, MeckIen burg, Guilfo' d
aud Rutherford are notable in
stances. The power of cotton
mills to build up communities
is evidenced IN a most ConvinC>
ing way by the cencus reports.
What the cotton mill has done
for Albemarle may be taken as
an instance. In 1890 that place
had a population of only 24S.
This had increasee in 1000 to
1882. Concord, which is of6ci>
ally recorded as city, increased
in ten years from 4 33o to 1910,
and Greensboro from 3317 to
1o.o35. Henrietta, not in exls-
lence in 1890, now has a popu>
lation of $50. Gastonia sprang
from 1893 to 4,oIo: Graham
from o9I to 2,oS2: Norwood
from $50 to 663: Bessemer City
from o to 400; China Grove
from ia 887, etc. These are on
ly few instances the list could
be considerably extended. A
number of the smaller towns
show losses, but there are no
cotton mills near them. In the
matter Of holding their own. it
is tie between Harrellsville
and Holly Spring.. Each had
Que more inhabtant in 1900
than it had in IS 20. Another
tie is betw cen ROiesviile and
