Hiilsboro Recorder. PUBLISHED BT C E. PARISH, I Ed.f proar'i, F. N- STRUDWICK. f " "0:r' THURSDAY, - DEC. 22, 1887. Immigration. The RECOKOEfihas heretofore called attention to the necessity of restric tion of imigtation to our chorea and we are glad to Bee that several tills have already been introduced iu Con gress looking to that end. This will be a wise and protective act ou the part of this country and we hope that some law may be enacted to prevent the indiscriminate flocking to the United States of such characters that go to make up the Anarchists, Com munist, Socialists, that has given this country to much trouble and anxie- We have plenty of room for good and law-abiding men and women and vre cordially invite such to come. But to panpers, and the characters we have named above, let the govern mmt shut down the flood gates. Our worthy and esteemed contem porary of the Scotland Neck "Demo crat"' among the thousand good things, says; "If we bad a Cleveland Rooster, we would put him to crowing aud keep him at it until $100,000, O00 of the present tariff was lopped off with a Democratic brand of axe." Just so brother Kitchen then why in the thunder don't you take down from the bead of your paper, "David B Hill"' for President and put up the crowing "Cleveland" Rooster. If you will, we nill send you the Rooster. We copy from the ''Hiilsboro Re corder" of Nov. 13th 1835 : The Illustrious Dead. Oar attentio t was directed, a few evening since, by a valaed friend, to the great number of distinguished men who hive died in North Caroli na within the taut fifteen years: it ia a sad retrospect, and forcibly tells us what, indeed, we may read in every thing around us, "what shadows we are, and what shadows vt pursue. We begin the melancholy list with the name of Archibald Henderson, the pure the gentle the powerful; be that was called by another great man the Ajixof the Bur in North Ca rolina. Then comes the name of his illustrious ho: her, the late Chief Jus tice, the Hon. Leonard Henderson: with, him the rest of the Court in which be presided, the Hon. John L Taylor, and the Hon. John Hall, all of whom faded from amongst us in less than three yearr. Then there was the gallant-the tirce the ccom plisbed John Stanly. There was Btrtlett Yancey, an able advocate and sound snd most useful statesman. There was Joseph Wilson, a powerful and gifted orator. We come then to Mooes Mordecai, James F. Taylor, and Gavin Hogg, who, all certainly stood pre-eminent at the Bar. Nor roust we forget to mention Henry Seawell, a giant in intellect There then was the Tacitus of North Caro lina, beautiful and polished alike as a speaker and a writer, the Hon. Arcbi bald D. Murpbey. There was the lie v. Dr. Caldwell of the University, "Ah me, that virtoe thus should die, and learning too." TbeYe was the saga cious, the Iprofornd, the cultivated Peter Browne; and finally, Joseph A. Hill of Wilmington. If this were a eatable occasion, we fain would ren der a suitable tribute to the genius and virtue of a beloved friend; but our intention was simply to tell over the great names that have perished from .amongst us in a brief limit of time, and what a catalogue! Seven teen great men in less than fifteen years, have gone down to Death. Jay Goulds advice to boys is, "keep out ol bad company and go to work with a will." Aud if you can't keep nt of bad company, my boys, do as Jaj does snd wipe out the company. Whiskey is likely to be high in At lanta, the prioe of retail license t- on ly 11500. Fully ss good as a Tempe. ranee lecture. Fob tbbRecobdek. Manteo, Deo. 1st 1887. Mr. Editor: lam now wind bouud, can't get away, through with busi nesfnuthing to do, so will write to yon. Thif is a country that is better culculitti'd to ciuo that disease called the blues, "more effectually than ony leinedv 1 can preset i bo. "To die, to sleep in l hut sleep, to en.l the many ills human flesh is heir to: U & con sumation devoutly to be wished," for a stranger to visit this country is a panacea that far surpasses "Hamlet's Sleep." XagsJIal, Roanoke Island and tLe N.C. Set Coit. I embarked on the steamer Vickeruian for this place, a slow couch she proved to be, bet a clover congenial aud accommodating Captain lauded me at this p'ace;coun- ty seat of l.ue. The people are kiud ho'spit ble and clever, they don't uu- deritaud or know anythiugabo t the art of taking advantage of their iel low man, they are more like oue large family and the different section ot the county the big house they all live in; a pious and religious people. The county is cut up with sounds, rivers, coves, bays, inlets &c Consequently the modo ot traveling is iu sail bouts altogether Twnlvo post offices aud all carried by sail. At court weeks, it is a beautiful sight to see three, four or five iininl red sails tethered to their keVlges in the bay immediately in front of the court house, to await the hidings of their owners, the same as the horses ar to the stakes and rucks in the back lots of your town. Miki some of the Judges, who have held court here when you come up with them tell you ail about it. Every nun's boat can boat all other boats in the county sailing. Ou the beach nearly all the popu lation are Midetts. On the Inland all ar Daniels. On Cro at-an all are Manns. East lake ere names of ma ny mentions. Their occupations are fishing, oystering and fowling all the year round, and it ia very profitable. The fowling se ison has just coramenc ed. The cn visaed bank duoks sell in the Northern Markets for $ J,50 and $3 per piir. any one that could not be exoited and enjoy the sport, would be afitsu'rject for the lunatic Asylum. The fih and fowl are boxed sud snip ed to the northern Market. Oysters are shucked ai d hhiped all over the country, the oyster Loues pays only fifteen to twenty cents per bushel and twenty cents per gallon for shucking and sell thtu tor sixty cuts per gal- lou. Sa terrapin are caught in quantities aud sell from 1 29. io 33 and $40 per dozen. Tb-ae people are the most independent ot any portion of the State; b-a's tobuceo and cotton by many odd. I took parage from M.inUo to Nags Head ou a ail boat only two or three miles acroxs the sound, walked across tbn beach to old wan view, a distance of about 900 yards, to gaze on and li ten to her angry billows. 1 then wished very much tor my dear partner to help me take iu some of uat ares great works. On the ci'-t line qnie an industry is carried on by Wilmington (Del.) Leather and Oil Ca , they have estab lished teverel 1'orpoiso fisheries and couduct the business ou a large s&tle, ketcliing I'orpois-s weighing from 300 to 600 pounds ami iu Urge quan tities too, press the flesh to get the oil and cau the pulp for you and o'hsrs to eat, send the kins to Wilmingto t to be tanaml I am told it makes ve ry fine leather. In crossing from Mmteo to Nags Head 1 saw rafts of geese fully a mile long, iio end todu;k, gese and swan. Manteo which is quite a villnge now. It is one of the Ut located places for a summer resort and winter too in the State. I have btea here for six days wind bound, the weather has been as balmy as the middle of May, the ground is never through winter covered with snow, summer if always fanned with gentle breezes from the Atlantic snd the sounds too, so many modes and ways for pleasant amusements; indeed 1 dont see how it can well be surpassed. The county takes in all the Ocean beach from Uatteras inlet northward snd eastwsrd to Kitty fas wk, and across the sound to Alligator liver, up said river to the Hyde line, a long narrow' county. The Island on which the Shire town is placed ia about twelve miles long and two and a half wide, covered with various kinds of ahrubery; Pin, Oak, Magnolia, Myr tle and oi her over-greens. The peo ple are generally inteligen, and fine looking. I once rend a letter puolinlv ed by a party visiting this place, say ing the men were fine looking tut the ladies did not make a very good appearance. 1 will venture that tet low got the mitten from some fair daughter ot this Island, if his head is levtd he will not vlnit thia place again. I have never found that place yet but what the ladiea were, better in every respect thnu the opposite sex. The proprietor showed me aaweet potatoe he has had in keeping for five yeurs, dug it from his owu patch, it has passed the period tor decaying, is perfectly sound, dry no ruois'ure a bout it, so nodauger of it roting.'it is not petrified but no doubt will come to that stage it kept long enough. The proprietor and his good tody of the Manteo House, fed mo well and treated me kindly. 1 hope Mr. Edi tor you are enjoying as good and strong health as I am, and at you are not a widower I bid yon farewell. ViRCijfU Dab. Buck Quarter, 7th Dec. "87. Mr. Editor: There has been a stray u this section for several dtya in the hane of s Buzzard, he was diesaed np with red ribbon attached to bis tail about 4 feet long. He sailed a- round with much grce among the neighbors of Sugar Hill. He seemed to be on exhibition aud astonished the natives. He kept nenr the ground in order to show his plumage which he evidently tbonght added much even to the Buzzard. After visiting the different distilleries and farms in the neighborhood he set sail for the city of Durham, sud from there we think he intends to visit all the principal ci tizens in the Union. Such as Sugar Hill. If the owner wi!l comedown, prove property snd pay charges be can get his Buzztrd, provided he can catch him. But judging from the speed he s arted with, the fellow that overtakes that Buzzard will have to swallow several electric pills. That Buzzard ia now doing tome fine sailing with the red ribbon streaming four feet be hind him. II. C B. Oaford and Clarksrille Hailroad. Th Oxford "Torchlight" says: Tract is laid withn about one mile of Srfiisfrs Fork, will probably be fin ished to Oxford by 15th January. Work is being vigorously pushed. The ame force after finishing this road is likely to build tLe Oxford snd Durham line, immediate continuance of their labor. Capt. Wright informs u that with U'tod westhor the train will be at San- enfraa Fork by Thursday. The depot ban been staked off. and the obstruc lion removed for grading the side track, which was surveyed Saturdav. Capt Brown thinks he will finish all grading, side ditching and drying up this week, on bis work, which ex tends to within five miles of Oxford. A caucus ot the Republican mem bers of the Virginia L'gitstre has nominated Mahoue to succeed Riddle- berger in the Senate. It will take a strong fight to save at least two Southern States, but it can be done. Wilmington Star. What two states are these? Senator Chandler, fats introduced a bill to regulate the holding of Con greKsional elections iu South Caroli tut, Florida, Mi'siftiuppi and Louisana.
