More About the Edenton Trip.
??Home Coming Week." following
immediately after my last two let
ups and thtn the old veterans day
at Selma furnished you with much
,k'>o4 material to write about, that I
concluded I would hold off my last
letter of the Edenton visit until a
duller season. As we are about to
enter the political pastures now for
jre.Oi grazing I thought perhaps tti
would be as acceptable a time to
Impose on your readers through your
columns as I would find soon.
Just before you enter Edenton you
cross Pamlico sound on the longest
railroad bridge in the world. It be
ing 5 7-10 miles long, cost one mil
lion, and It takes 18 minutes to cross.
The Florida East Coast road from
the main land is about 80 miles long
but it reaches from island to island
and no span is as long as across
Pamlico sound. The trip to Edenton
at one time was to be dreaded. Now
you can eat breakfast in Selma and
(?inner in Edenton. So much for the
long bridge and railroad development
in Eastern Carolina.
We are now in the old town pass
ing along one of its old and pretty
streets and just beyond the corpor
ate limits we come to the creek just
across this is the U. S. Fish Hatchery
naturally a pretty location for a home'
which the man In charge has. Every
thing about the hatchery and sur
roundings neat and clean as can be.
We were shown all through the
hatchery, our objective pomi, ana
found it interesting and Instructive
and the employees very kind and
agreeable, answering all questions
fully and willingly and telling you
more than you could think to ask
and made the visit the more pleasant.
Lute Green I believe it was who dis
covered how to hatch fish, was a
great fisherman and studied also all
the habits of the fish. Finding one
day a bed in a sandy bottom of moun
tain stream and the fish fixing to
spawn he "watched them from a tree
top as the fish were shy in the moun
?aln streams and would not come tof
?,he shallow, sandy bottom already
cleared out of all trash while he was
on the bank. Up in the tree they
failed to see him and the roe perch
rame to the bed in numbers and lit
erally covered the bottom with their
eggs. The bucks passed over these
eggs and spraying them with a mil
ky looking substance, the eggs were
impregnated. The beds guarded and
nil fish there could be kept out were
kept out. He watched daily the re
sults and soon to his great joy he
saw the tiny little fish appearing and
passing off into the stream. From
this discovery we have to-day all
over the United States fish hatcheries
and our streams and ponds are being
Stocked with fish. Now is it a suc
cess. If we can hatch the fish, keep
them a few days? see that they
grow it looks like we have accom
plished much. A better illustration
Is this, before we commenced to
hatch fish no shad were seen in the
Pacific ocean. A shad was not known
anywhere along the Pacific Slope
The Government hatched a large
number several years ago sent them
to the shores of California by the
million. Four years afterwards and
?ever since the markets there have
been supplied with shad, a fish un
known there before. Is that satisfac
tory evidence? I
inow we go uacit to liic tia^u^lj.
For the shad roe the Government
pays $20 per million for ripe roe. One
hundred and twenty thousand eggs
have been taken from one shad, the
flvrrage Is much less. An experien
ced man can tell when the eggs are
i-ipe by feeling of the fish as easily
is the farmer can tell a ripe melon.
He takes the shad in hand, if ripe
he presses the eggs from the fish,
fresh caught, just from the nets, in
to vessels prepared for the purpose
Immediately a buck is picked up. a
milky substance is pressed from him
into the egg Jars, the eggs become
Impregnated and taken to the hatch
ery. They are washed and measur
ed, a quart contains 7000 eggs. And
then put in jars through which wates
of the temperature of the creek water
is constantly flowing direct from the
creek.
In from 5 to 8 days owing to the
weather, the eggs begin to hatch, the
Jars holding about 2 gallons of wa
ter and a certain quantity of fish roe j
now hatching are moved nearer a
large tank two rubber tubes _ are
inserted Into each and a current of
water starts through these tubes and
ths little fish are carried by this cur
rent Into the larger tank. When all
of this hatch is In the large tank
they are kept there for three days
and then turned into the streams to
"root pig or die." For three days
each little fish has a "knap sack"
? the old veterans will know what that
ls> on his back and in that ?!? three
'lays rations, when that Is gone, he
Is able to"paddle his own canoe," in
his own native element and will take
care of himself if given a chance J
Wonderful how nature has provided
for Its creatures to care for them-i
?elves. The little babe and little
bird being the most dependent of
all creatures. Fifty-eight million'
young shad were hatched here and
tu; u. I loose last spring. This ?ea- l
son has been very favorable. One
hundred million are exptcnd to be
turned loose this season. Does it
pp.y? Let the Pacific Slope answer \
and remember that these eggs came i
from shad already caught and \
would have been lost except for 1
food. 75 per cent of the eggs hatch |
How many live is not known. They <
return in 3 to 4 years to the waters ]
of "their youth" to spawn. For this i
reason the fisherman down ? there <
will not let the eggs go unless the
fish are turned Into their streams t
Would Neuse river have made more i
shad if they could turn them loose i
in Neuse in Wake County. From i
the habits of the shad if that be ;
true Xeuse could again be storked.
One tank in the hatchery was an i
experimental one using Bull frogs. ,
trying to learn all about him and I .
hope they will succeed and that i
we will yet have bull frog legs In
plenty for breakfast and whilst we
di not wish our lady friends any
great harm we hope to see the day
when bull frog legs will cut the price
of broiler chickens from ten cents a
joint. This finishes the Edenton
visit and its longer than I expected.
Some of your lady subscribers will
read it if the politicians don't. And
they should have something once
in awhile besides prohibition, politics
and Western Bloomer base ball
games.

Prayed Too Loud.
A citizen of Neoga, 111., is seeking'
to recover damages from a neighbor
because of certain prayers said neigh-1
bor submitted in church recently
touching and appertaining to said
citizen, his general moral character,
and so forth and so on.
"O Lord," said the neighbor here
inbefore mentioned, "make Brother
Strohl (primarily aforesaid) a better
man. Show him the error of his
ways; remove from him his wicked
impulses, desires, and inclinations.
He is a miserable sinner; O Lord,
wash him and make him clean!
We are not sure just how far the
courts will wish to go in considering
the point raised in issue here, butj
there is a point most assuredly. What
right had Brother Strohl's neighbor to
hold up Brother Strohl publicly, even
in prayer, in such fashion as this?
Brother Strohl may'not think him
self a man of wicked impulses and
desires. He may consider himself
anything but a miserable sinner in
need of washing. And his view
may be just as good on tnai point
as his neighbor's. Indeed, this neigh
bor might find it worth while to
read the seventh chapter of Matthew,
espeically the first three or four
verses.
We have no word of discouragement
for the man who would pray for thel
salvation of a fellow-man's soul. Let
him pray early and often after that1
fashion. A lot of people need it,
doubtless. It is preferable, we
think, however, that such praying
be done quietly and with low breath.
That same wonderful book of Mat-'
th.ew gives some timely advice about]
praying In secret; and it might not ]
be a bad idea for this neighbor of'
Brother Strohl to read the sixth chap
ter of Matthew along with the sev-|
enth, making careful note fo the sixth
verse of the sixth chapter.
The resentful attitude of Brother
P'rohl Is not especially novel, we
fear. It is evident enough that his J
neighbor's plea, no matter how well
intentioned, has not inclined Bro
ther Strohl to peace and meekness.
i
On the contrary, it has aroused much
of his fighting blood, and trouble is
well in sight.
It would have been much better, we
feel sure, if Brother Strohl's neigh
bor had been less public in his pray
erful effusions concerning Brother
Strohl.?Washington Herald.
