Dosher is a resident of Cape Hat- teras and in charge of the Weather Department, and Mrs. Dosher is a native of Hatteras and grew up un der the influence of the roaring sea surf. Mrs. Dosher was at Hatteras during the August storm and it de stroyed her love of home and its hallowed associations, and she has eft in its place a morbid dread of a ripple on the sta. We are afraid he wtU never get entirely over hsr attack of stormphobia. It is a pity for she is one of the most beautiflul ndigenoua flowers on torm-lashed latteras.

Cason, Edeotoh. x - 'CaptaiaJDick.'1 Quite a large audience attended the performance of "Captain Dick" at the Academy of Music Tuesday night. The play was given under the auspices of the Ladies Guild of Christ Church and Naval Re S2rvep, and with the direction of Messrs. Bertram & Wizard, the authors, who also - assisted in the play. For an amateur performance the work was very clever and the cos tumes well chosen. Miss Goldie Kramer, as Agnie, added hfe to the piece and sang a number of catchy songs that were well received by the audience. "Captain Dick" was well played by Mr. W. E. Wood, al though tho characterization was a trifle overdone at times. The make up of Mr. J. P. Kramer, as Hans Gugleheimer, army contrac tor, was especially noteworthy in its Dutch effects, while Mr. Bertram, as Baron Le Martin, gave a decidedly clever realization of the role of the French villain. The work of the other performers was about the average, while Mr. Will Hollo well, as the "burnt cork" comedian, at tained a standard rarely reached by the usual colored minstrel make up. As foi the play itself, the plethora of battle, murder and sudden death, involved it with an excessive display of cheap patriotism, rather were upon ones nerves. It is no more than just, however, to note that these features of the play highly de lighted the gallery gods. . - The dramatic incidents in the play, culminating in tableaus at the end of each act, were intensified to degree of absurdity, causing ill- timed merriment with part of the audience. However, tho, all in all the play was well received, and the ; box receipts exceptional, so the players may well congratulate them selves upon the successful outcome of their -.second venture with the war like "Captain Dick?

We learned this week from a re liable source that non-residents of the State are carrying on a contra band trade in oysters in lower Pam lico sound and takiDg them out of he State .through . Ocracoke Inlet, constantly, openly and in large quantities. To guard the canals that go out of the State at Coinjock, and at South Mills and leave Ocracoke Inlet, looks like locking and barring he windows and leaving the back door wide open. If our informant. be correct the violation of our oyster aws is going on during the oyster season, and throughout the year, in taking seed oysters for planting, with out let or hindrance. Somebody s to hlarae. The oysters, taken from the State and our oyster fundum, the property of the State, pays no revenue to'the State. Somebody's to blame. Either the law is defective or the oyster officers are derelict. If our oyster fundum be a mine of wealth, as is said, then eur State officials are inexcusably prodigal. Is " there no authority in the State that can ap point a -watchman over the outlet for non-resident raiders who carry on this contraband trade through Ocracoke Inlet, its a big leak that should be corked up, peacalbly if we can, forciby if we must. Let the Governor of North Carolina issue his proclamation warning and ordering off the marau ders, and Eastern North Carolina will back him up.
