Beaufort, y. c., April 30.-It is doubt
full whether along the whole Atlantic
coast there is a saltier place than this
pleasant old town, which has place in
the memory of SO many North Carolin-
ians as we'll as people from other states
states near and far. The need is big
winter hotel the small one having been
crowded all the season, mainly with
wealthy people from the north and
northwest.
Captain c. A. Abbey, chief inspector
of life saving stations, and Lieutenant
G.. NJ. Daniel, assistant inspector, are
here and today completed arrangements
for locating three new ones. One is to
be at Fort Macon, which is in front of
Beaufort, another at Bogue Inlet, and
the third on Ocrocoke Island. This is
the seventh life saving dictrict, cover
ing the North Carolina coast from Cape
Henry to Cape Fear, and these new
stations will bring the total number up
to "a. Captain Abbey says he consid-
ers that the addition Of these stations
will give this coast perfect protection.
The slaughter of fish has gone on for
years at rate which almost seems to
exceed that of their propagation and
the demand is so great as to make
prices sky high. For example, grey
trout bring to the catchers 5 cents per
pound and they practically all go to the
great markets Of the north, as indeed
do almost all the sea mullet and span
ish mackerel. CLANS fetch so cents to
81 per buShel, whereas a few years ago
% cents was considered a good price.
The diamOnd-back terrapin is nearly
extinct, and only the wealthy can eaA
him. Soft crabs bring all the way from
s cents to 16 cents piece. Nobody can
realize the amount of the demand upon
these North Carolina coast waters for
these products, and the determination
goes steadily on.
People in this part of the country are
waiting with much interest to SEE
what will be the decision Of the nation
al government as to the opening of the
inland waterway through these North
Carolina sounds-a matter which deeply
concerns the commerce Of the Atlantic
seaboard-and they are also interested
in knowing whether the "harbor of
safety is to be formed at Cape Look
out, where there is one Of the most re-
markable places of the kind already,
formed by nature, and which will re-
quire very little artificial construction
to make it of inestima BILE value as a
protection to shipping.
1t is stated by spOrtsmen and fisher
men that the past winter was one Of
the poorest ever known on the coast for
wild fowl shooting and fishing, the win
ter having been one Of the most open
on record and spring having begun un-
usually early. The amount of money
invested in what may be called the
preparations for wild fowl shooting
along this North Carolina coast is so
great that not one person in a thou
sand has the least idea regarding it, but
when one is told that there are CLUBS
for shooting with a membership fee of
$4,000 to $4,000, and in one case $S,000
some idea will be given of the extent
Of the investment. 1t all shows that
Eastern North Carolina yet remains the
most favored resort of the most valued
waterfowl

costuming of the big ensemble numbers

Louis James and Frederick warde
produce Alexander the Great at the
New Crawford Thursday night. It is a
Hughes and Collin Kemper.
The new play,which will provide these
two famous stars with the first
new roles they have assumed in several
years, is described as being the most
able attempt by modern authors to pic
ture the strenuous lives of the ancients.
Though founded upon historical facts,
as its title would imply, it is said to be
welded together by an imaginative story
of exciting and absorbing interest. Just
as the authors have endeavored to stir
the emotions by its existing incidents
and dramatic suspense, so have Mana
gers Wagenhals and Kemper done all to
transport the audience from visual
standpoint. The play is arranged in
five acts and six massive scenes, which
are laid respectively in Macedonia, Per-
STA, Egypt and India, from which may
be imagined the variety of its stage
pictures and the Oriental coloring OF It's
costumes. One of these elaborate sets
pictures the besieging army of Alexan-
der outside the fortified walls of MALTA
Another is the tent of AleXander'S gen.
eraI, Perdiccas, among the depths OF the
forest in which the rising of the moon
and its effect on forest foliage IS beau
tifully depicted.
The great scene of the play, however,
in which it is said the utmost limits
of modern stage craft have been at
tanned, is that of the fourth act, snow
ing Alexander's army encamped among
the jagged peaks of the mountain tops.
The constant transformations present
pandemonium of the elements. First IS
seen an electric storm. awesome enough
to strike terror into the hearts of the
bravest. Then the clouds begin to rise
from below, accompanied by hail, snow
and sleet developing into a blizzard
through which the despairing soldiers
are seen between the f1tful lulls of the
storm. This finally gives way to a glor-
ious mountain sunrise, the peaceful con-
clusion offering a most vivid contrast to
the terrors gone before.
Nearly so people are concerned in the
performance, among whom are Norman
Hackett, Wadsworth Harris, Thomas
Coffin Cooke, Margaret Bourne and En-
gel Sumner.
Mickey Finn" will be seen Friday
night.

No Indian Summer Until November

'sJust as soon as we have few warm
DAYS. such as these, people begin to
talk about Indian summer" said the
weather sharp. Now, as matter Of
fact Indian summer doesn't come until
November. when the leaves are all on
the trees and there is a peculiar at
noospheric condition which is not only
hazy. but is positively smoky. You can
almost smell the smoke, although there
really isn't any. The air just looks that
way There is always a warm murky
spell after all the dead leaves have
fallen from the trees to the ground.
and the haze is probably due to the de-
caying vegetation. The name of In
dian summer is said to have arisen
from the fact that in the early times
the Indians used to set fire to the
prairies late in the autumn in order to
burn I'D the dead grass and give the
young grass a better chance to thrive
This explanation, however. does not
seem plausible, inasmuch as we still
have the smoky atmosphere without
any Indians to create the smoke. =
