Tee many sheep1

Dakota Farmer: No; nor will there
ever be in this or any other country.
Every farm, however rich or poor, not
only can make good use Of few NUT
ton sheep, but it needs them. Eng
lands lands are more valuable than
ours, and still mutton-growing is a
leading, II not the leading, industry
among her farmers. Prof. Plum tells
u.s. and all the travellers through Eng
land know it, that in small Cities and
towns sheep Craze on the commons.
In the country nearly every farmer
keeps flock Of respectable size. In
the northern part of Britain, where
the climate is the more severe, the
black-faced Highland sheep is the
more common breed. In the border
districts it Is the Cheviot or the border
Leicester that is most seen. Low land
seems to be too damp for these hardy
breeds. Even on the sides of Ben Lo-
mond, 5000 feet above the sea, sheep
Craze numerously. In Ayrshire, where
all the. land is cultivated, every horse
man or cattleman keeps his flock.
In middle and southern England the
flOcks, even OF men who make a spe.
cialty Of raising cattle, run from one
hundred to three hundred. The Brit.
ish farmer believes that sheep pay bet.
ter than anything else. Even where
land rents for as high as IS to 's8 pei
acre, it is profitable to let the sheep
have what land they need.

rke new xurvey.

The surveyors have pulled up stakes
and goue to Hull, some twenty miles
south. It is likely that the line from
Mckenzie will run across Long Lake
creek twice near Aug. Benz's dwelling
house, then up the creek valley in
which s. A. Hawks formerly resided,
then on up the valley by the Phillip
Alexander homestead, then through
low ground across the J. I. Roop place,
finally into the Sand Creek valley,
down that valley to Beaver river at
John Henderson's place, thence up
Beaver,which it will cross four times
between Linton and the old town site
OF Winchester, diagonally through e.
"A. Grains eight-acre plot In west part
of Linton, through D. r. Streeter's
barn-yard, through Major Pitts, lots
close to his dwelling-house, and then
across Beaver near the bridge south
eastof town, and through the vslley
which at that point rises kently
toward the south. The surveyors last
week called on the various owners
through whose lands the survey has
been made and wrote their names ia
their appropriate places 0nsthe survey
map. The right-of- way man will be
next In order.
There IL one important matter
which some Of our people who oM d
lands originally purchaasd from the
Northern Pacific company, and
through which the survey runs, may
not hsye thought about. Many Of the
company's deeds provide fora right of
way 100 feet wide Through sa1ch land.

have this provision. In this sslstter cat

down the creek from Linton a few
miles, for instance, has this provision
In its deed. So, also, has the deed for
the 6lfWinchester town site, and a
number of other tracts. 1t is not likely,
however. that the road will require
more than 100 feet for a right-of-way.
But, under the deeds referred toAbove,
1t does not seem that they will have
to pay for land used.

sskaab.,. K,ns .s Feast.

Leslie's Weekly says that in the
Usage Indian country the Thanksgiv-
ing feast consists principally of white
dog meat, the Osages being very fond Of
that kind Of dish. The Apaches Of Ar
izona, the Sioux of the Dakotas and the
Cheyennes Of Col )radoare also devoted
to dog meat and feasts of that kind.
Seems-as the writer remembers it
that there used to be tribe of dog
msat-eating savages who once held q
war-dance and feast in the tepecs Of
Chief Shambo, at Emmonsburg.

Our people waited 60 many years
for the first railroad that they have
become suspicious. A man up from
the south the other day said that some
.Of the people of the new 500 towns in
Campbell county believe the survey
from Mckenzie is q scheme of the
Hackney -Boynton company to sell
their lands to better advantage in the
spring. That is evidently not the case.
All the appurtenances and belong
ings Of tho surveying outfit bear the
n. p. initials, and the men are paid
direct from the N. p. Golfers. Furth-
ermore. is 1t reasonable to suppose
that the N. p. aud the Milwaukee will
allow the 500 q permanent monopoly
Of this territory? The survey Is Ger
talnly being made by the Northern
Pacific company in good faith. Be-
sides, Judging by results during the
past season, the Hackney Boynton
people seem to be able to sell their
lands without resorting to such tricks
as sham railway surveys.

Ashley Republican: The time has
come when North Dakota should
fall In line with other northwestern
states in regard to its prohibition laws.
Up to this time we have had the So
called prohibition law, which, in fact,
does not prohibit the sale of intoxi-
cants, but has foisted upon us an army
Of "blind-piggers" who sell the vilest
kind ONliquOrs. 1t is time that we
vote again on the question, and the peo-
pie next fall should see to it that none
but pronounced resubmissionists he
sent to the legislature. Itisabout time
that the people take this matter in
hand, and put the state On an equal
footing with its sister states. South
Dakota is doing nicely under its high.
license law. II resubmission comes,
then the state should follow with laws
creating high license, and creating
a board or department whose duty it
would be to test and inspect all liquors
coming into the state, SO that the con-
sumer would have some guarantee that
he Is getting pure article. AS it is
now, he gets only the vilest Of "rot.

matters should be looked into by the
voters before the next legislature is
elected. We are satisfied that our
prohibition laws, AZ they now stand
on our statute books, are an entire fail

A Dangerous Road.

The road leading from this
city to Camden, c. H., is an ex-
ceed1ngly dangerous one to drive
over on account of Iunn1n e par
allied with the N. & S. r. Z. fO1
some distance.
1t is more dangerous now than
formerly, since the extension Of
the new track an d running OF
cars on this exte nsion to the
Veneering Mills.
Rev. J. Y. Old was caught by
a shifting engine between the
two tracks last Monday and
came near being killed by the
plunging Of his horse which was
made frantic by the putting and
Kissing Of the engine.
The r. r. authorities ought
to be required to place proper
signs at all crossings and also to
require proper signals upon ap-
proach of trains or engines to
crossing.
The matter cannot be passed
over lightly. The situation de-
mands attention before serious
consequences follow.
A popular subscription ought
to be started to open a free ferry
at the foot of Matthews street to
reach Camden by road across
swamp in Camden directly
across the river.
It is stated as a fact that our
neighbors in Camden county
really prefer to go to Norfolk to
trade rather than take the risk
of coming to our city over this
road.

Death of J. w. Sharber.

Sunday afternoon at 6 O'Clock
at his home OH Riverside avenue
Mr.. J. w. Sharber, one of Eliza
beth City's best known and most
prominent citizens, departed
this life after many months Of
lingering illness. Mr.. Sharber
was formerly a member of the
har DWARF firm of Sharber &
White, but, as that dread disease
consumption, fastened its
clutches more closely upon him,
he retired from business and
went away in search of better
health, which he failed to find.
Since returning home he has
been rapidly sinking and was
fully aware of the fact that the
end was near. Mr.. Sharber
leaves wife, a son and host of
friends to mourn their loss. The
remains were entered yesterday
in Overman' Cerne>
terry. The bereaved ones have
our deepest sympathy in their
.oss.

assertion that the cost Of the
road will be as low as any road
in this section.
We do not pretend to superior
wisdom, while the matter IS
theory, we are satisfied that the
key to the future success of our
city lies in the extentlon OF her
shipping facilities and the en-
largmeut of all her mercantile
interests, think about it, talk
about it, and keep the question
alive. If no one else becomes in
terested we have decided to build
the road ourselves Just as soon
as we get rich. And as we are
running a weekly newspaper
with a small list Of subscribers
some of whom pay and some of
whom do not, we don't see any
r :ason why we shouldn't get
rich sooner or later. At all
events tile rOa a must be built.

ELIZAAETH CITY & WELDON
r. r.

The name sounds little "pre
vious," but it sounds we'll never
theless. In facts it sounds JUS
like a possibility which has al
the potentially of fact.
Enough energy has beer
wasted in talking railroad tc
have accomplished something
if anything other than talk had
been invested. We recognize the
fact that railroad building is nc
ch1lds play, that men of means
cannot afford to jump to conclu>
sions and put their money in Ill :
advised enterprises. look be-
fore you leap" is a wise maxim
but after looking, if the way is
clear, leap and don't wait until
the opportunity is gone.
We are glad to know that our
article suggesting a road from
this city to Weldon, N. c. is en- ,
gaging the attention our people
1t is important enough as a sug>
gestion to challenge the interest
of every man within reach OF
the road should it be built.
Elizabeth City is perhaps. the
most interested point Of any on
the line. Getting here and get
ting away are matters of some
moment.
If we wish to reach the Cap
itOl of the State, we must need
go outside of the state to get
there, and it is really more
trouble for visitors to get here
than it is tor them to take a trip
to New York.
We are simply suburb of
Norfolk, too far off to CLAIM kin
it's true, but unable to 60 to and
fro without making that city
our starting point. If we could
go direct to Weldon, at that
point the way would be clear to
take any direction and go any,
where, and come back to suit
ourselves.
But over and above the matter
of going and coming, our com
mercial interests are also affect
ed by our lack of facilities for
placing our products on the mar
ket.
We can only ship in one di-
rection now-up North. And in
this day of active competition no
community can afford to lose an
opportunity or allow compet1>
tor to hold an advantage.
Our fishing interest is the Ell
terest of this section. If we can
gain access to the Western
counties of this state together
with the Southern counties of
Virginia and the Eastern coun~
ties of Tennessee we can prolong
our fishing season and make it
cover we'll nigh the whole year
instead of the few months as at
present.
The cost of opening this road |
will certainly not be very great
as the building of roads go, for
it will pass through a level
country sufficiently elevated to
need but little preparation of
the road-bed.

A GOVERNOR GETS
A ROASTING
Kentucky's Governor Speaks
Against the Action of
Inuiana'S Executive.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 12-Gov-
ernor Beckham last night ad.
dressed to Governor Durbin of
Indiana letter replying to the
criticisms by that executive of
the courts and officials of Ken
lucky in his recent letter refus-
ing to honor the requisition for
Taylor and Finley, wanted for
alleged completely in the assass-
ination of Governor Goebel.
He severely arraigned Durbln
for his refusal, charging that in
dong so he violated his oath of
Office to support the constitution
of the United States and that he
became ''a party after the fact to
the most Infamous crime in the
history of this State, the cold
blooded and dastardly murder Or
an emient and distinguished citi-
zen of Kentucky.
The Kentucky executive also
charges that Governor Durbin's
action in refusing was the result
of political bargain made before
his election of office and charac
terizes his charge against the
courts and officials Of Kentucky
as slanderous and inexcusable
Misrepresentation.
He takes the stand that a gov
ernor of State has no dlscre-
tionary power but only minister
ial power in the honoring of
legally drawn acquisitions from
other States and this is taken
here as an indication that steps
will shortly be taken in the courts
to compel Durbin by mandamus
TO honor the acquisitions. If
such proceedings are Instituted
they will be in the courts of Indi-
ana and taken on appeal to the
supreme court.

THE SCHLEY
INVESTIGATION
The Court Have Met Behind
Closed Doors to Con-
slider the Evidence.

Washington, Nov. 12.-At II
o'clock yesterday Admiral Geo.
Dewey and Rear Admiral Ben
ham and Ramsay, composing the
Schley court of inquiry, met at
their quarters i'll the Mclean
building, behind closed doors,
and began the discussion and
consideration of evidence brought
forward in the investigation con-
Guided last week. The sittings
of the court are to be strictly Sc
cret. The present plan is to hold
daily sessions from 10 to 1890
o'clock, adjourning at the latter
hour for the day, though
this program may be changed
as the work of the body
progresses. The court has
two small rooms for it's work
one for the members themselves
and the other for the clerical
help.
At the door of the latter is
stationed a sergeant of marines,
whose uniform would be the only
surface suggestion to a chance
caller that something out of the
ordinary was going on in these
! two little rooms.
The court adjourned at 1890
for the day.
Admiral Dewey said after to-
days session that as yet he could
not foretell how long it would be
before the court will be ready
| with it's finding.
