In The Year 5000.

1t is Legitimate to predict that
a Thousand years hence civiliza>
tion will be rather different from
what it is today. That which
is acceptable now will be abo-
m1nable theu.
Only to the entirely degrated
will smoking, drinking and sit
ting about appeal. Only human>
ity's dregs will theatres attract.
Only cripples will play cards.
Only imbeciles will collect
daubs of paint. Only prisoners
will feed in common, only by
savages will jewels be worn,
only for the insane will enter
tainments be held and only child
rem dance for pleasure.
BY that time only in legend
will stocks be quoted, only in
forklore will novels endure,
only in menageries will horses
survive, only in ballads will
fashions exist. There will be
only pictures to show that men
wore high hats and women low
necks, only history to tell tha.
sport once was a relaxation.
Each epoch has its chimera.
That of the Middle Ages was
resurrection. That of today is
progress. That Of the year 5000
will be equality. 1t is probable
that i'll the pursuit of it there
will be an explosion. 1t is
equally probable that after the
explosion quiet will ensue,
which is the succession of great
events.
The world will go On as be-
fore, providing, as it has, for the
survival of the 6ttest, for mas
terry by the most strenuous, for
oblivion to those who succum b.
Meanwhile the best we can
do, the best that has ever been
done, it to realize that tomorrow
we die, that the past is gone,
the future remote, the present
alone effective.

Youth and Responsibility.

BY way of Illustrating the
opportunities, enterprise md
rapid advancement of industrious
young men of America a city
merchant tells the story of the
visit Of an Englishman to large
wholesale house in Philadelphia.
The English firm had been buy>
ing goods of the American house
for years, and the travelling part
ner called to pay his respects.
He went into the office, asked
for the manager, and when he
was presented. said hesltatingly
and apologetically
"I-ah-beg your pardon, but
l should like to see your father,
the manager Of the concern."
When the young man smiling
ly assured him that he was the
manager of the house, the Eng
lishman was amazed. Such a
thing could be hardly possible
in his own country, and he could
not understand how SO young a
man could be entrusted with a
position Of such importance.
Similar surprise and gratif~
cation were expressed by the
correspondent of the London
Times, who sent back from
America a serious of brilliant
papers on local economic con
dltions. He contrasted, favorably
to the republic, the opportunities
afforded to young III in Amer
ica with the limitations and
handicops of youth in Europe
and paid the highest compl1-
ment to the business energy and
sagacity of young American
manhood. Youth 5 Com panion

Health, it's Value.

No other earthly possession
can compare in value with that
of good health. Not only does
i'll heath impair ones capacity
Of really enjoying the good
tn hings of this life, but also his
ability to attain to the higher
life-the life that runs parallel
to that of the Infinite. Truly
has a celebrated writer said :
Health is the sour that ami
mates al the enjoynents Of life,
which fade, and are tasteless, if
not dead, without it. Without
health, a man starves at the best
and the greatest tables, and Is
poor and wretched in the midst
OF the greatest treasures and

When Policeman May Shoot.

A question which is constant
ly coming up in cities and towns
was decided by Judge Ralson.
in Philadelphia court, few days
ago. 1t was the question OF the
right or privilege. of a police
man Or peace officer to shoot at
an escaping prisoner or a person
fleeing arrest.
In the Philadelphia case two
officers had pleaded voluntary
manslaughter for killing of one
of two men who had refused
when fleeing from them, to heed
their order to halt. They salts
fed the judge that they thought
they were acting under the law,
but he disabused their minds Of
that impression. He said:
"a policeman can't shoot a
man simply because he can't
reach him any other way, and
you had no right to fire under
the circumstances. You are
given firearms for your own pro
lection, and in some cases may
be justified in shooting a prison.
er, but he must be a prisoner,
and must be attacking you or
trying to escape. Under ordi-
nary circumstances you have no
right to shoot. The court ap,
preciates the danger which an
office at times is required to face,
but that does not give him the
right to fire upon a criminal o.
supposed criminal II an effort to
arrest him"
This makes it plain that an
officer cannot shoot a man in
order to arrest him; but it ap-
pears to warrant an officer in
shooting any man who, having
been arrested, and being there
tore; a "prisoner," then tries to
escape" Assuming this to be
the law, it would follow that a
policeman VI ouId not be justified
IN shooting a burglar-or "sun~
! posed burglar seen emerging
Irom a bank or a store, in order
to stop his flight and arrest him;
but be would be justified in
shooting a pick pocket who hav-
ing been arrested tries to get
away from him.
The decision appears to leave
something to be declaed.

BLOATER PASTE.
An Interesting Letter From Mr.
S. 6 Worth.
I'D FISHERMAN & FARMER.

Ed. FISHERMAN & FARMER.
In my last letter. called at
tention to the fact that North
Carolina Fishermen get eighty
cents for 100 lbs. of herring and
if they bought an equal amount
of herring paste -Bloater Paste
they would pay, retail price, two
hundred dollars for an equal
quantity. IT the manufacture IS
taken up by our people, two new
industries will be established, &,
first the smoking of herring aud
second the canning of the paste.
In all the saloons from Chicago
70 the westward, I am inform ed
smoked her1ings are served on
the free lunch counters. That
product, obviously, is not from
North Carolina. Our annual
catch is fourteen million pounds.
ROANOKE ISLAND SHAD.
Below l give you some brief
notes on shad fishing about
Roanoke Island, the season just
ended :
The trap and gill nets IN
shoal water made a good catch
while the deep water fishing
was poor. Two trap nets at one
lift caught over 1900 shad,
1904 of these being taken from
one net. Several lifts Of over 900
shad were observed. More than
once there were over 900 boxes
(about 50 shad each) of iced shad
on the wharf at SkyCo. The
total shipment from this wharf
was upwards of $4,000 boxes.
Last falls fish shipments, Rock
and Marine species, from the
same point were over 5000
boxes
Those fishermen better under
stand the successful shipment of
shad than the up sound fisher
men, never sending fresh fish
forward till they have been iced
and chilled. They never ship
shad tue same day on which
they are caught. The deliver
ence of fish are made in the
night, beginning about sunset
and continuing till midnight,
according to the weather. There
are twelve or fifteen runboats
engaged at this They obtain
ice and boxes at the same wh.1f
at which they put their fish.
The shoal water gill fishing
IS done on flats which are ex-
posed III a low tide. When the
Shad are to be taken out of the
nets the fishermen n gum boots
wade out aud gather the catch
INTO bags which they carry on
their back.
