OVER HALF MILLION SHAD
From Government Fish Hatchery
Planted in Neuse River.

Mr.. G. n. Ives received from the
government fish hatchery at Edenton,
a consignment of 0 1900 young shad,
for planting in the Neuse. 1t came On
the steamer Albemarle and was receiv-
ed by Mr.. Copeland, the distinguished
agent, who at ones put them in MIR,
Ives care. They were transported on
the naptha launch Lucia to the mar
rows, several miles above New Bern
and deposited in the river by Mr.. Hell
len Huff.
Owing t a delay in the Atlantic
Coast Line train a few days ago a
shipment Of fish marked for New Bern
were carried On to Wilmington and
planted there. The fish received here
yesterday were originally meant for
the Wilmington waters, but the ship
ments were exchanged.
There has not been any shad plant
ing for two years and it is believed
that this consignment will stock the
river with plenty of fine shad. I. is
hoped that a second planting may be
secured before long. Mr.. Ives is to be
heartily commended for his energy in
getting this large supply of fish.-New

Farm

One of the biggest items in business
of the country in the early spring was
the trade in horses and mules. The
farmers bought freely and paid big
prices. In the Lumberton RobesOnian,
Rev. P. r. Law quotes a dealer in
horses, mules and buggies as saying
that since last September he has sold
$50, 900 worth of horses and mules and
$40, 900 worth of buggies, and he is only
one of a number of dealers in Robson
county. The statement is remarkable,
but is probably not exaggerated for
business in this line all over the coun-
try has been larger this year than at
any time since the a What is the
explanation? Mr.. Law thinks it is to
be found in the fact that our country
is developing rapidly in agriculture.
The size of farms is increasing and
their number is multiplying in every
section. All of u fine lands are being
cleared and converted into farms

RATE QUESTION SETTLED RIGHT
Speedy Enactment of a Compromise
Measure is Promised-ShOws Con-
servatism and Wisdom, Both of the
President and the Senate.

The country is to be congratulated
upon the fact that there is now in
sight q satisfactory settlement of the
great question that has engrossed the
attention of congress and the public
for so many months. The regulation
of railroad rates involves such colos-
sal interests, and affects the people
so vitality, that instructive apprehen-
sion has been universal while the sub
ject has been under consideration by
the senate and the president. If
either the PRECEDENT or the senate had
been unreasonable in maintaing an
extreme position, i~ncalculable injury
might have been the outcome. The
happy prospect is now presented of
the speedy enactment Of a compromise
measure that ought to be reasonably
satisfactory to all concerned.
1t will be asserted, no doubt, that
the compromise is a defeat" for the
president, inasmuch as the senate
amendments provide that the orders
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion shall be subject to the review
of the courts. A lore Just view Of the
presidents attitude, however, will
credit him with wisdom and patriot
ism in the concessions he has made.
By refraining from the maintenance
of an immovably extreme position, he
has avoided the postponement of this
legislation, and removed from the in
dustrial world a n and disturb
ance. He has won, too, the point for
which he originally contended, which
was that rates fixed by the commits
sion should 60 into effect and remain
effective unless and until action lad
been taken by the courts. This is de
cidely a forward step in the direction
Of government control Of railroad rate
making, and no question of constitu-
tionality can shake the solidity Of the
achievement

GREAT REFORM IN UNION
The Practice of Women Nursing Dogs
Instead of Babies Broken Up by
commencement Orators.

Glory to the commencement OratOrs!
They bring things to pass. Lead by

spoken in this county have given the
poodle dog habit down the country.
The governor jumped on it with both
feet, saving God deliver us from the
women who go about nursing poodle
dogs and turning their babies over to
nurses. We are delivered. Since
these strong and timely speeches
against this nefarious habit, we have
not seer a single woman in Union
county nursing a poodle, and since
then not a single lady has come on the
street rolling a fido in the buggy where
the baby ought to be. II there ha,
been a single case since these speeches
we haven't heard of it. That's reform
for you. Not a single woman has been
seen to kiss a pet dog in public for a
week now. The custom may be dead
for good; who knows? Very few
ladies in Monroe, or the county even
now let their dogs sit in their laps at
public gatherings, and n has gone sc
far as to notify the old man that ne
must get rid of some of his rabbit dogs
that stand around the back door to LICK
