for his people. Vp find the follow-!
ing relative to him in the Haleigh
Cf$ouicic:
In an editorial eorresponden'ce
from Washington t he I'hronictc pub
lished last week the bills introduced
lv our members of Congress except
Col. Rowland. lit has introduced I
about SOO jetitlons for his constitu
ents and the following bills:
1. A bill to pay Jaiuen Iredell
Meares $($12, this bejng the amount
stolen from the Mtfe of the collector
at Wilmington ami paid by Mr.
Meares.
2. A bill to pay certain guagers
ami Either internal revenue employ

$:.000 for services rendered as late
ttssaver of the Aav-olllee at Char
lotte. A bill to appropriate $'.200,000 to
erect a publie building at Charlotte.
(J. A bill to enclose Fort Johnson
at Southport.
A friend at Washington, who sent
in the above information, adds:
"Though sick. Col. Rowland has
not missed a single roll-call. There
is not a member of our delegation
who watches the proceedings more
carefully, or who is more alert to
the interests of his people. He is a
valuable member and this brave
sick Congressman who stands at his
post is entitled to the confidence
and regard of North Carolinians.
Maj. McClammy seems to have
developed already into one of the
most indefatigable workers in the
House. He is full of energy, prompt
to see an advantage and audacious
in its prosecution. It is these qual
ities which won for him his spurs
during the late 'unpleasantness and
it is the same qualities he is now
bringing into play for the benefit of
his people in the Third district. For
proof of this we present the follow
ing, which we clip from the Raleigh
jYiMVf and Observer:
A measure which vitally affects
North Carolina interests is the bill
before the Committee on Mercantile
Marine and Fisheries to prevent
menhaden fishing within three
miles of the shore. Major McClam
my, who is watching the bill close
ly, says it will destroy the menhaden
industry in North Carolina should
it become a law. A number of
fishermen representing Northern
fisheries were heard by the commit
tee Saturday. Their statements
were conflicting. Some maintaiued
that the menhaden destroyed the
food fish and therefore ought to go.
Others maintained exactly the op
posite opinion, which, they claimed.
was based upon long and close ob
servation of the menhaden's habits.
Another statement was that the
menhaden was food fish for the
blue-fish and other fish, and that its
destruction was rapidly decreasing
the supply ot these hsh.
Major Mcdammv is something of
a fisherman, and he savs the men
haden is like the house flv in July.
lOKiii a mennauen is oniv to in
crease the supply. He has had fre
quent talks during the past week
with the Fish Commissioner on the
subject, and the Commissioner, he
says, is opposed to the bill. Fisher
men from Maine. Massachusettsand
.New lork will annear before the
committee Wednesday in opposition
to the bill. Maj. McClamuiy thinks
there is verv little chance "for the
bilL
Another scheme, iu which the
State is deeply interested, is the bill
now before the committee on Agri
culture to prevent the adulteration
of lard. At least that is the ostensi
ble purjiose of the bill.
Cotton seed oil is now extensively
.. 41.- - i m , T
uni in me mauniaciure oi nog s
Inl. It is not an adulteration, be
cause it adds to the value of the
lard and materially lesseus the price
of it. Maj. McClammy h a member
of the agricultural committee and
he is on the alert to defeat the bill.
He is daily receiving letters from
the State protesting against it. By
the way, the Cape Fear Representa
tive is making a useful, diligent and
industrious Congressman.
The Agricultural Department has
recently purchased a lot of cocoons
raised by Mrs, O. W. Thompson,
neardoldslmro, -wiving the extraor
dinary prioe of $l.aper pound. The
very highest price ever paid is $1.15
per pound. Maj. McClammy Is try
ing to induce tho department to es
tablish an agency at Goldsboro for
the purchase of cocoons ami the dis
semination of information about
their culture, with a view to encour
aging silk ciOture in the State. He
thinks the department will accede
to his wishes in the matter.
Hood's Sarsaparilla is peculiar to
itself and superior to all other preJ
parations in strength, ecouomy, and
medicinal merit.
