HENRY BERRY LoWREY.

The following local item from The
RobesonEan will bring surprise TO the
people who rea it. We uppose that
every one at all acquainted with his
outlaws history was under the impress
sion that he was dead long ago. The
news that he is alive and living in
Mexico "a hardly be believed. There
may have been a few people who kept

his wife Rode, "the swamp angel as

is premature. He will nrst have to
come back to the state and stand trial
for the murders with which he stands
charged and then sue for pardon In
those in which he may be convicted.
This course we do mo- ppo he will

From The Clinton Democrat we take
the following account of the distressing
condition of a worthy young man OF
Sampson county, Mr.. Darden merits
great sympathy for his misfortunes
II is bad enough for a man to lose n
leg, but when he has to suffer the am
putation of both these limbs he is. IN
deed, in an unfortunate plight. The
Democrat says:
The left leg of Mr.. Frank Darden
was amputated at the knee last week,
the operation being performed by Drs.
A. NJ. and R. E. Lee, assisted by Drs.
r. III. Holiday and G. L. skies. Tt will
be remembered that he lost the right
by an accident with a logging truck.
The young man bears his suffering
heroically. We trust that he may re-
cover and that Gods blessings may
strengthen and comfort him.

What can be the matter with the
New Bern fish and oyster market? The
following vail from the editor of The
Journal over the prospect of a continu-
ed diet of mullets is heart-rending:
A colored man arrived from New
river yesterday with a load of mullets,
but they liz not sell very fast. Oroi-
narily most any kind Of fish Or oysters
from New river are in good demand.
but h people here are tired out OH
muHets. They are about the only fish
in any quantity that have been offered
OF this market for sometime. Once in
a while a shad, trout or other choice
fish is seen but the price is too high to
permit ordinary people'to eat them.

Savannah Or Brunswick he would find
his freishts would be much higher
than at Wilmington. We find lumber
freights at Norfolk $2.75 per thousand
at Wilmington $4.25 and at Savannah
s5.25. This makes it plain that dis
lance has much to do with ocean
freighting. Also we find cotton
freights from our to six shillIngs
more from Gulf ports to Europe than
from Wilmington or Savannah. Mr..
Wright avs if pilots were employed
on the James River vessels would
shun Richmond as is done in regard
to Wilmington. This is an assertion
without a fact. Quite to the contrary.
vessels come here with and
beg for freigl.ts out, but cannot get
them and nave to go South to load.
m vessel recently la gone all the
way TO Europe in ballast.
Does all this look like vessels shun
Wilmington? These are facts that
cannot be denied. Mr.. Wright is at a
loss to see what excuse there could be
for needing a pilot on q vessel when
she is in tow of & tug. For the same
reason he might want to know why
the captain of a vessel needs" a sec
ond mate when he has a first mate,
it is probable hat there is much about
the pilot business that he does not
know Does pilotage cause vessels to
go away from a port light, should it
not be cause for them to get a cargo
If possible and I'VE some Of the
charges Of pilotage? If a vessel can
come here and pay all her port
charges with only an inward freight
how much better could she do 1t if
h could get an outward n in re-
turn instead of having to change ports.
How much better price would Mr..
Wright pay for his timber if there
was no pilotage. We venture to say
that it would not be much. II Mr..
| Wright has wood to ship he will have
no trouble in getting vessels right at
his doc to carry it for him.
| In 1897 a committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce and a committee OF
navigation and pilotage met with ::
| committee Of the pilots and agreed to
a reduction of pilotage of 25 per cent
on coastwise vessels. The statement
was made at the time that an increase
Of vessels would surely follow. bu.
alas it was not SO. but a considerable
decrease was the result. For h Ii
months prior to this act 122 coastwise
vessels sailed from this port and a
vessels that came coastwise and went
to the West Indies.
And the Is months following this
act ia vessels sailed coastwise and A.
came coastwise and went to the West
Indies. The above Is taken from our
books and are correct. Does the re-
suit show that the prediction Of the
above committee proved true. It is
fair to assume that Mr.. Wright's opin,
ion is worth no more than these gen.
tlemen and I would say not as much

have an increase of vessels, but it is

A Card From Can't. Adkins
Southport, N. c., Feb. 4, 1905
Editor Messenger:

Soutnport, N. c., Feb. 4, 1905.
Editor MESSENGER:
Dear Sir. Kindly allow me space to
answer your interview of one Mr.. ".
H. Wright in your issue of the End in
slant. I do not know Mr.. Wright. but
I have heard of him. Mr.. Wright
claims that if there was no compulsory
p1lotage his firm would nave shipped
probably 5000 cords of wood instead
of 1900 and this on account of the
compulsory pilotage, making it almost
prohibitory in getting vessels to come
here. In the last four months twelve
schooners went away from here south
light and others are here now without
charters All these vessels came here
loade and many of them expected to
set cargoes back North from here.
some We're already chartered South
when they came. but the most OF them
were not. Why did not Mr.. Wright
load the schooner "Lupton'' that is
here bound to Brunswick that for two
weeks or more had been trying to get
a load at Wilmington. She would
probably carry about $50 cords of
wood; and the pilotage on that
amount would haye been in round
numbers s77.00 or IA cents per cord.
Mr.. Wright speaks of the freight on
his wood being very much lower from
Virginia ports to Philadelphia. Why
should it not be a great deal lower
from Virginia ports to Philadelphia.
than from Wilmington? The distance
at sea from Virginia ports to Philadel-
phia is 30 miles while from Whining
tor to Philadelphia the distance at
sea is 405 miles. a difference of 2s5
miles against Wilmington with three
