ART1LERY PRACTICE
AT FORTCASWELL
Of Interest To Military Men

Encampment.
FULL
Letter from ttie War Departmer.l
In Regard to Army Maneu
vers at Fort Caswell
This Summer.
Raleigh, N. C, April 14. A letter
just received at the North Carolina
National Guard headquarters here
from the War Department at Washing
ton indicates that within a couple of
weeks something definite will be
known as to the assembling of the
companies composing the Coast Artil
lery at Fort Caswell for ten days this
summer for practice in coast defense.
It would seem that this practice will
certainly be held, although there ie
nothing definite as yet as to whether oi
not the regiments of infantry will
have their usual encampment at More
head. Salisbury, Wilmington, New
Bern and Greensboro companies con
stitute the Coast Artillery. As to the
encampment of the regiments of in
fantry this summer there is a ques
tion of whether or not there will le
funds available for both an encamp
ment at Morehead and for providing
the full complement of equipment at
Morehead and for providing the full
complement of equipment that is nec
essary for the Guard to have in hand
by January, 1910. This must under
the Dick act measure squarely up to
the regular army. Adjutant-General
Armfield and others of the high offi
cials of the Guard feel reasonably sure
that there will be enough funds this
year for both the equipment and foi
the encampment, but there is a possi
bility that there may not. Much de
pends on the report of the inspection
of the companies of the Guard now in
progress by an army officer. This re
port will show just what additional
equipment must be provided this year.
Then with this information at hanc
the officers of the Guard will be ablt
to determine at once whether an en
campment is possible or not. This
inspection will be over and the report
in before a great while now.
A new map of North Carolina rail
roads prepared and issued under the
direction of the North Carolina Cor
poration Commission it to be ready
for distribution, probably within thir
ty days, certainly wfthin sixty days
and will be the most complete ever
gotten out by the Commission. The
proofs liave all been approved and
there only remains the completion ol
the plate and actual printing of the
maps. They will be larger than usual
this time, showing the full length oi I
the State and a littleeoyb I

Then, too, it will be wider so as to

YESTERDAY'S PRIMARIES.
Messrs. Dewey and Holmes Nominated
for Board of Public Works, Bat No
Choice for Mayor.
From Thursday's Daily.
, Another primary will have to be
held by the Democrats of the city to
determine upon a candidate for mayor
in the coming May election, as yester
day's voting between the adherents of
the four gentlemen in the field re
sulted in not any one of them receiv
ing the necessary majority of all the
votes cast, so that, according to cus
tom the two lowest in yesterday's vot
ing will drop out and the two highest
will come before the voters again next
Monday, April 19, in another all-day
primary.
The two who thus drop out are
Messrs. I. F. Ormond, th prer.ent in
cumbent, and Capt. J. Wash Bizzell;
and the two who will run again are
Capt. J. E.. Peterson and Mr. John R.
Higgins.
Capt. Peterson's vote in yesterday's I
orimary was 217, and the next high- j
ast, Mr. John R. Higgins, received 144. 1
Capt. Bizzell received 135 and Mayor
Ormond 99, a total of 595, from which
it will be seen that the winning can
didate needed to poll 298 votes.
DISAPPEARING FISH.

beyond their jurisdiction; it rests with
the states, notoriously slow to act I
when great industries are to be curbed I
or regulated. It is a problem in con-
nervation that demands immediate at-1
tention, particularly in view of the
'act that practically all food products

few years. It is a question in which

to support a graduated income tax in

Thirty - six states have inheritance tax

particularly New England manufac-

COTTON PLANTING.
Indications Now Point to Planting for
Another Thirteen Million Crop.
April is the month in which cotton
seed is put into the ground. Some
seed is planted in March, but outside
of Texas April is the planting month
m the cotton fields. Too little rain in
Texas and too much rain outside of
Texas rendered March planting this
year difficult if not impossible, and
the present month will, therefore, be
utilized to the fullest possible extent
m planting cotton with some mciden -
tal planting of corn. Thus far it can
not be said that the starting of the
new crop has been favorable, but the
yr:seni wer 1S enauiing ie i

The sales of fertilizer tags in this
