FIND BUzzARDs IN RESERVOIR.
Water Polluted By Carcasses of These
Birds.

When the water reservoir in Ameri-
Gus wss cleaned out month ago the
populace marYeled at the accumulated
filth therein, stream of lnky black
ness flowing in the streets for two
hours and giving forth robust smell.
But this condition was hardly as bad
as that discovered in Dawson day or
two ago, when an enterprising small
boy scaled the reservoir ladder and
found a number of dead and rotting
buzzards floating in the water tank.
Pure water is an essential of good
health and every city, Amerlcus and
Dawson included, should look we'll to
its water supply,

Oyster Outlook Appalling.

The Elizabeth City Tar Heel says:
From the present outlook the oyster
industry in North Carolina will soon be
matter of the past. Foreign dealers
have carried oysters out of the State this
winter in quantities which are appall-
ing. Reliable men who know have made
oath that as many oysters have been
carried from the State as have been OPP
ened in its borders. They testify the
culling law has in no wise been COM
piled with. This is a serious matter
and should command the immediate at
tention of the proper authorities. 1t is
reliably reported the steamer Lilly has
been absent from the grounds more than
half the season. The place for the boat
is in the sound, making constant and
careful patrol, and had the boat been
employed thus, there would be few. if
any of these depredations Complains
with the proper affidavits have b6cn

in few days and it is hoped the mat
ter Will receive the attention its i'm
