A terrible calamity is reported

"So after all Gov. Nicholl's veto

him to the chamber to cast his vote

veto from being overridden."
The Hoboken News rises and
remarks: How in the face of tbe
wanton and wasteful extravagance
of the Republican Congress can
there be any more talk of redaction

bankrupted tbe treasury now, and
there are other schemes for expen

We like to see a great nation

Samonians. A formal presenta

expressed his thanks in touching

The Southern Cultivator sustains
its position at the head of the

He knows little of tbe condition
of affairs who does not see that the
South is moving onward. Tbe re
ports of industrial statistics show
it, the products of industry in the
markets of tbe woild demonstrate
it. Tbe census that has just been
taken will present facts in regard
to the development and progress of
the South that will astonish the
most enthusiastic Soathron. But
when all these evidences are ac
cumulated in one monumental pile
they will appear insignificant in
comparison with the testimony of
the force bill now before the Con
gress of the United States.
Look at it, and see the pano
rama it unfolds ! Little more than
a quarter of a century ago and the
South was a desolation. Black
and smoking ruins marked the
places that had been the habitation
of her children. But the spirit oi
liberty survived, and the South
showed to the world that though
her soil might be overrun the spirit
of her people was invincible.
Reconstruction measures could
not "fetter the step of freedom,"
more strong and firm in this South
ern land than where ilshe treads
the sequestered glens of Scotland
or croucheB amid the magnificent

Steadily the South has gone
forward, meeting obstacles only to
overcome them, until she stands
before the nations in the strength
and power of unrivaled resources
under tbe direction of a people
jealous of their rights and de

This fact cannot be controverted , and

Another Oyster Convention
There is probably no subject, at this
time, more interesting or important to
North Carolina, certainly to Eastern
North Carolina, than her vast oyster
industry an industry, in the dawn of
its development, but according to all
human calculation, rich in its promise
ofprorks. To promote its development
it needs capital, but it needs more than
capital it needs protection from tbe
State of North Carolina, in wise aod
adequate legislation to make the invest
ment of capital secure and remunera
tive. The oyster leginration of the last
General Assembly hss not prolectod the
industry It has utterly failed to pro
tect it. In a recent conversation with
Gov. Fowle he admitted and regretted
the iaefficiency of our oyster 1 iws. He
suggested some amendments to the
present law, which we regarded of
value.
The subject requirts careful con
sideration by good-sense men, and prac
tical men who have been identified
with tbe business. The legislative
body is entirely uneuited to the task of
making laws for the benefit of the
oyster business. The failure of our own
State to devise a system of laws for the
protection and development of tbe
business is proof that it requirea'a great
deal of practical wisdom to frame a
bedy of laws that will protect the in
dustry acd give satisfaction to all con
nected with.it. Tbe problem must be
considered and worked out for the
Legislature before it meets by men who
understand the subject, who will give
thought to it and wno will frame and
euggest to the Legislature euch amend
ments to our present oyster law as may
be deemed advisable.
For the reasons above mentioned it
has been suggested that a convention of
persons interested in oysters and of
patriotic citizens interested in tbe de
velopment of the interests of Eastern
Carolina be held at Nags Head, in Dare
county, sometime during the month of
August to consider the oyster question
in all its aspects and suggest such
amendments to our oyster law as may
afford protection to the property of the
State and for the benefit of its citizens.

bill, which it says is necessary to secure
free and fair elections in the South.

GREATEST FEAT OF THE SEASOX.
dh. blacknall at
MOHEBKAD CIIV
CAUGHT A 500 POUND SEA TURTLE.
While In bathing at Morehead City
) rsterday a monster 500 pound sea
turtle made li is appearance bo near to
the bathers that almost to a man the
p.irty abandoned the surf. But every
occasion has its hero and this one was
not an exception. Dr. U. W. Blacknall
at a glance took in the situation and
with thoughts of turtle soup for the
morrow, he made for his turtlesbip and
with his Ion experience on the eea-
! shore, find with a well-stored recolleo-
tion of the many exploits related to him
' by old Uncle Lige Lewis, the hermit of
I Bogue Banks, the Doctor resolved to
capture this turtle. Swimming out to
tl,'j monster tbe Doctor dived, and hav
ing made his calculations very cleverly
hd came up juet behind and within
roach of the turtle, and with a spring
alighted upon bis back, and grasping
the turtle by the tail with one band and
st-curely holding him by the shell just
above his head with the other he began
steering the turtle ashore. It is a well
k no wn act that a very large turtle ea
this way be handled by a moderately
sized man. By holding tbe tail end
under water and the head out the turtle
soon found he could not dive and then
made a break for tbe shore. When the
doctor had run his prize upon the sand,
James Boylan, Col. Turk and Tom Mil
ler went to his assistance and soon had
the turtle on his back. He will be made
into soup today for the guests of the
Atlantic. He weighed 5:6 pounds

100 Lives Lost.
LakuCu-Y, Minn., July 15. There
seems to be no reason for changing the
I first estimates of the number of lives
I lost upon L ike Pepin, near here, where
the excursion steamer Sea Wing was
overturned by the cyclone Sunday
evening. At least 175 people were on
the ill fated boat, but twenty, five were
saved, and in all probability nearly 125
persons were drowned. The work of
rescuing the bodies was commenced
early Monday morning, and by noon
over sixty bodies had been recovered .
The work is still in progress, and at
frequent intervals a shout proclaims
the finding of another victim" Doubt
less there are many that will never be
found.

An
Hi-
Views lu Home and farm.
Mr. J. W. Morris, of Doorpark,
Ark., writes, asking for information
about topping cotton. In this
State the practice is becoming !
popular and under certain con- I
ditions it is productive of good
results. Where cotton is well '
branched and bushy topping ap j
pears to have no beneficial effect, I
but when it has a tendency to run )
up "sky high," the removal of the
top at the right stage of growth,
alters the form of the plant and
assists in its fruiting. Another
advantage is that the plant shades
the soil better, a point that every
cotton grower will appreciate. As
the causes of cotton growing spind
ly are varions, so wilt vary the ad
vantages from topping

some to soil and some to season,
In the former case topping will
change tbe form of the plant, but
have little or no effect on tbe crop,
but where soil or season are the
cause of the mischief, it will pay
to remove the top.
An old planter, who bas prac
ticed topping, when necessary, for
the past twenty years, assures 111 e
that labor spent in topping cot ton,
when the spindly growth is not
owing to poor seed, will pay better
than any other labor bestowed on
the crop. His time for operation is
when the plant is about two or three
feet high or when it has well sot its
squares.
His modus operandi is to go along
the rows with a long-bladed sharp
knife and chip off the tops. This
can be done at a quick walk and
an active boy can get over five
acres a day.
I have never practiced topping
beyond an occasional plant that
showed its head away above its
fellows, as I only plant good seed
and my soil does not favor height
at the expense of breaihh, but a
close observation of my experi
ments leads me to believe that the
hints given above will be; worth
acting on.
Pamtiei) Democrats.
Pamlico, July 14. 1S9).
Kditob Journal: The Demo
cratrt of this precinct hHd their
primary met-nng fieie mi (he I"th
to appoint delegates to the county
mass convention which meets in
Bayboro on next Saturday, the
19th inst. We had a harmonious
meeting, and non. R. I). McOotter
made a good and telling speech.
He warned the Farmers Alliance
if they attempted to discriminate
against the Democrats who did not
belong to their order that defeat
and hopeless defeat to them and
the Democratic party was the cer
tain result. He told them that out
of the 750 Democratic votes in
this county that they only had
about one third of them in the
Alliance, and lots of the Democrats
in the Alliance would not stay
there if they saw their effjrts were
going to turn the county ovrr to
negro and Republican rule His
speech was a Democratic speech
and a good one.
Mr. Editor I hear that of the
Alliance people at Bayboro that
they, the Alliance, were going to
send none bnt Branch delegates to
the congressional convention.
Well, they will have a lively time
at that. All at this end of the
county are for Tom Skinner for
Congress, George tl. Brown lor
Judge and W. T. Caho for Solicitor,
and we intend te see that Tom
Skinner has a fair showing in the
convention and his share of the
delegates. Gen. Roberts has lots
of friends in the connty and he
ought to be represented. We
Democrats in Pamlico county
ought to look at the condition of
politics in South Carolina and stand
together. If the Alliance is a po
litical party they ought to come
square out, and not go in and try
to run the Democratic party. We
Democrats that don't belong to the
Alliance ain't going to give up the
Democratic party that easy.
A large majority of the Demo
crats in this connty, in fact fonr
fifths of them, are for Zeb. Vance
for the U. S. Senate, and we don't
intend to let any man go to the
Legislature from this county that
is not for Zeb. Vance.
The Democrats here are for ilou.
Zeb. Vance for the U. S. Senate,
Hon. Tbos. G. Skinner for Con
gress, Hon. George U. Browu for
Judge, and Hon. VV. T. Caho for
Solicitor, and this is the ticket that
a large majority of the Democrats
in tbe county want, aud then we
want Charles M. Babbitt for the
Legislature from this county. He
is a straight ont Zeb. Vance Demo
crat and a farmer and a good
farmer.
