this trio in which there is not a particle
of argument or common sense as it is
well known that with the ATmOurs, Nor
gans and Rockefellers out of the way
supplv and demand regulates the price
of an article.
Referring to the insignificant patrol the
Messenger speaks of, the Lannah and
two schooners have had upwards Of two
hundred warrants issued against the
picnickers on the rocks which he says
are working the rocks for all they are
worth. This exceeds the Lilly's record
bv one hundred fold for the whole time
she has been owned by the State.
We read an article from the Newbern
Journal not long ago similar to that of
the Messenger, except that the Journal
went further and claimed that the oyster
had lost it's flavor and that under Mr..
Webb's administration it no longer pos
sessed that succulent quality it had in
time past.
To the people of Eastern North Caro-
lima this is an important question:
matter that has been before the people
for the last ten years yet we never see
if mentioned in the papers except to
blame the commissioner. The writer is
we'll acquainted with the whole situation
and with all branches of the industry and
our opinion is that there is not a man
in the State who has the interest of the
people in this matter more at heart than
w M, Webb, nor is there any enc who
understands it better or is better quail
fled to fill the office which he now holds.
To us the question is a very simple one.
Strike out that Mussel clause of the
Yulling Act of 1901, and forbid dredging
oysters from March the 31st to December
the 1st. and forbid longing oyster from
March the 31st to November the LIST, and
enact laws under which the violatOr can
be convicted when caught, then the
chronic growlcr will have less excuse
for complaint, the oyster will again be
as palatable as ever and within a very
few years we shall have in North Caro-
lima the finest oyster gardens in the
world.

TO GET RID OF COPPER SMOKE.
Not Tree, Bird or Rabbit LefC Within Ra-
dius of Ten Miles
lChCrokee ScOutD


A change in the roasting of ore in
the Duckt0wn copper region will be hail
ed with JOY by the people living in every
direction from ten to fifteen miles of the
roast piles. This change is no doubt
made necessary by the large number Of
damage suits by adjacent farmers. Under
the new system there will be no smoke.
At present the ore is piled up in great
ricks, amounting to from three to four
hundred tons, under which a hot fire is
built that burns out the sulphur in the
ore. These fumes make a very dense
smoke that envelopes the country for
miles around so densely that one could
not see a large house ten feet away.
Sometimes the smoke stays this dense
until 10 o'clock in the day. 1t is very
easy for persons to become bewiIdered
and lost if they attempt to travel
through the smoke, so everything seems
to have to wait until the smoke Of
clears away. This smoke is made up Of
the strong sulphus fumes and is almost
suffocating, while its effect on vegetation
is disastrous. We are told there is not
a tree left within a radius of ten miles
No gardens or flowers can be cultivated
