STEAMER KILLED STURGEON.
Large Fish Struck by Propeller Of the
Southport Yesterday.
Wilmington Star.

Wilmington Star.
The steamer Southport fouled and
killed large sturgeon down the Cape
Fear river yesterday afternoon about
$3.50 o'clock. The fish, which it is
estimated weighed nearly 200 pounds,
was hit by the propeller and his head
severed. The boat was stopped and
the fish taken aboard and later
transferred to the steamer Whining
ton and brought to the city. It is
rather a rare occurrence, and the
unloading of the fish at the wharm
attracted considerable attention.

replied in 1eassuring tone, having out
lined his course Of action. II lost my

and let it be your greatest disgrace
that you are not fit to enter any gen

murmured. Fighting TO conquer one
self is harder than turning the left

But the new senator from Mississippi
did not know that for him the wars Of
peace had only just begun, that per-
haps his own flesh and blood and that
of the wife and mother who had gone
before would turn traitor to his colors
in the very thickest of the fray.

engaged a suit Of rooms for himself
and two daughters.
"Ain't it the limit7'' remarked the
chief clerk to Bud Haines, correspond
ent Of the New York Star. 1.-The sem
ator wrote us that he was coming here
because his old friend, the late Sem
ator Moseley, said back in '75 that this
was the best hotel in Washington and
where all the prominent men ought to
stay"
Haines, the ablest political reporter
in Washington, had come to the Inter
national to interview the new senator,
to describe for his paper what kind Of
a citizen Langdon was. He glanced
around at the dingy woodwork, the
worn cushions, the nicked and uneven
tiles of the hotel lobby, and smiled at
the clerk ''Well, If this Is the new
senator's idea of princely luxury he
will fit right into the senatorial atmos-
phere" Both laughed derisively. ''By
the way" added Haines, II suppose
you'll raise your rates now that you've
got senator here"

GOOD ROAD WORK
IN WAYNE COUNTY
Citizen Wants County to Issue
Bonds to Continue High
way Construction.
A VISIT 70 CONVICT CAMP
Beneficial Not Only to County But
Also to GOIdSbOro-Make Bet
ter Roads For Traffic
and Speed.

EQlIOT ATguS.
Among other improvements notice
that .yo:: advocate strongly the build
ing of good roads in Wayne county.
On yesterday we drove out with the
chairman of the board OF county COM
missfone.s. who has the general SUI
spervision cf the improvement and
building of roads and was surprised at
the work being done in our county.
From the corporate limits of our city
we drove over a road to Neuse river
ton as any street in our city, thence
over the river through the sand hills
of Wayne county where the convicts
are at work building sand-clay road
through Brogden township to the
thoroughfare near Grantham's store,
and when it is completed it will be a
pleasure to travel on. So much bet
ter than the one now at work on. Be-
yond the river already about four
miles are finished, and where one bale
of cotton was a heavy load for a team
three bales can now be transported by
the same team with much more ease
and certainly with less wear and tear
to vehicles and stock. Another thing
we noticed was that where practice
able the crooks and elbows are taken
out and hills graded and through the
sand beds (the depth of which has
never been ascertained) clay is mired
and the roadbed rounded up, making
an excellent road to travel over, both
in hauling heavier loads or making
more speed.
Encourage the good work, Mr.. Edi-
tor. We Enow of nothing more bene-
ffcia1 to a community than good roads
and no community realizes the value
until they begin to use them. under
stand that number of roads have
been built by convict labor in ou1
county, but we believe the work done
by the .onvicts should be supple
mented by road working by taxation
not too heavy. Issue bonds to ruI
thirty or forty years and let those
who use the roads pay for them In
stead of taxing the present genera
ton to pay for them, making it a bur
den on them. Issue bonds, levy {
small tax to pay the interest and pro
vide sinking fund for their payment
at maturity, and build good roads
| from the county seat in various di
rections 20 the county lines.
The benefit, both to our city and tht
country districts will be mutual. The
saving in the wear of vehicles anC
team from the very start will more
| than pay the additional taxes, to sa,
nothing of the comfort and speed o
travel, rs well as fewer trips to b,
made in hauling to market the pro
duce of the farms, on account of be
ing able to haul heavier loads.
