There was never a quieter election
held in this state than that of yester-
day. Towards the close of the cam
paign the attendance at the democratic
~speakings increased notably. The ne
groes are very quiet. Those who were
disfranchised do not appear to care in
the least. The negroes split their
tickets very largely and spoke of it
openly, a thing they would not have
mentioned a few years ago.
There appears to be now no doubt
that the Seaboard Air Line is back of
the south and west railway, in course
of construction through Mitchell coun-
ty. Railway people admit Is much.

ly opened the negro state fair here to-
day and was introduced by Thomas

The next event of public Importance
will be the legislative session. CUES
tions of taxation, of education and
child labor are expected to figure most
prominently. There will be no politics
next year, but a great educational cam
paign will be prosecuted. In this the
democratic and republican speakers
will anvas the state in pairs. For
six years there has been only politics
but now that is a back number.
Next Monday the county superinten-
lent of public instruction meet here
in convention, upon call by the state
superintendent. Already IS have noti-
fed him they will be here and only 3
have declined. The general education
board will pay their railway fare.
State Superintendent Joyner expects
great results from this meeting. The
law requires that the elements of agri-
culture shall be taught in the public
schoolS The decision to have a summer
school of agriculture at the Agriculture
al and Mechanical college here. for the
special benefit of public school teachers
is hailed with joy by the state superin-
tendent. He has not before this seen
how the matter could be made practical,
and now hat it is mad So he sees no

pearance of the oyster from North Car
DINA waters. Each spring for several
years past, there has been a steady
shipment of seed oysters from North
Carolina to replenish the falling stock
in Virginia waters. Boat after boat has
passed the inspectors, who have proven
most negligent in their duty, If not
worse, in permitting such shipments.
One method has been for the shipper
to go to Portsmouth and buy 500 BUSH
els of good oysters, such as would legal
ly pass according to law, then go to
Stump Point or Roanoke Il stow away
$500 bushels of seed oysters, which the
law prohibits being dredged. covering
these last with a layer of the larger
oysters.
A superficial examination by an in
spector made it easy to tax away he
entire cargo and then repeat the trick
as often as the oysters were wanted.
These small oyster were bought for ten
cents per tub, equal to about five pecks,
and when taken to Virginia three tubs
were made from each, netting three
times the original cost to the shipper.
In the old dredging grounds, such as
the place off Swan Quarter, where three
years ago 500 bushels Of oyster could
be dredged 30 bushels a day are all
all that can be gotten and these
being very inferior. In all the fcrLler
good oyster DeQS, the same rule applieS.
And even more it is said that non res
idents are coming in, notably at Eliza
beth City. and are dredging and carry
ing away oysters from North Carolina
waters.
These are only a few facts Of the oys-
ter situation in this state, but it is
enough to show a splendid natural in
dustry has been destroyed, to the loss
Of thousands Of people, directly, and
taken from Eastern North Carolina an
immense business which should have
been preserved and kept for the people
of this state.
The coming legislature should SO
handle this matter as it a before, for
such legislation has been to establish
political offices, which instead of afford
ing protection to the oyster industry,
has according to reliable sources of in
formation, proven a sure mean of get
| ting rid of the oyster. Unless the pres
| ent legislature takes this oyster ques-
ton uD and handles it as it must be

be no need of future legislatures bring
ing it up. h oyster Will be entirely
