In 1897 the city of Baltimore is to cele brate the hundredth anniversary of its in corporation by "A Great Southern Inter state, International aiul Industrial Expo sition" lasting from May 15 to Xovember 15th.

Republican candidate lor the legislature in Catawba county, wants to prohibit the importation of for eign horses in the State and savs if he is elected to the legislature no foreigner shall ship ''pauper" horses into Catawba without paying a tariff of $lo per head. The Democratic party is to be congrat ulated that Marion Butler has thrown off his disguise, that he and the Republican bosses have spliced, for this simplifies the issues and makes it more clean cut.

During the last campaign in Kentucky, Breckinridge, at the conclusion ot one of his speeches, alluded to the great strain to which he had been subject.

The argument in favor of choosing our 'Senators from the eastern and western sections of the Stale is an unnatural and demoralizing one. it is a specious theory, based upon false promises, and is capable ,. , ' ' , , . . . o! being so perverted as to become mimi- cat to that wide libe'ty for which Demo- cracv stands. Such a theorv of Mm ibo - ial representation proceeds up.m the assumption unu geogi ap men 1 11 mu?t be p aced upon intelligence It itlOl's i culture. virtue, patriotis.n. party service and poll-j tical availibilu v in choosing a candidate ' Such a system of ie:ior.ing is pernicious' in the extreme, is i npaole of gieat abuse : and is susceptible ol incalculable injurv , to the party.

I ' It is through a sectional favoritism like this that an otlice-holdiug caste is estab lished and the cry comes that Senators are (00 tin away from the people.

Good roads have impioved our farm ers inoialiy. socially and intellectually, oy bringing them in close contact with each other, and improving the facilities for at tending church and schools, extending the ciieie of society, a.id enlarging the measure ol our acquaintance. They improve commerce by bringing ,,.. ,ie,mle nearer to mniket ami render ing tiansporlation easier and cheaper, mak ing it easier anil less expense to trans port two tons than one, or two bales of cotton than one. Ths difference here is about one to four. One horse or mule can draw on the uiacademized roads four bales of cottou with as much ease as lie can one on the old roads. They have saved thousands of dollars to the farmers in the way of minor products. On the old roads it eut more to market wood eight or ten miles that it w ould bring on the market. So ;iiso, our fruits and vegetables have lieen lot until our roads were improved. Our laruK rs have sold thousands of dol lars of w ood, melons, fruits, vegetables aud other products that would not pay to transport overjiad roads, and heretofore have been lost and the easier and cheap er marketing of these products has en couraged diversified farming, which bring money to the farmer in all seasons of the year and makes his living at Home better. Good roads have enhanced the value of the land, invited new settlers, enfused life and energy 111 the citizens. One 111 re can haul as much as four formerly coti'd. and many thousands of dollais orth of farm products w ho put on the 11 arket now that had no value before, the advantages of the city are extended to the country and along the lines of the macadamized roads lanas which a dozen yi'.r. .0.11 1011I1I not ! sold for $15.00 per acre will now bring ?75 00 to f 150. 00 per acre, but are not lor sale at any price. The farmers take more pride in keeping on. I stock and good vehicles, tor it is a real pleasure to drive a good team over a good road. It excites the pride ot even our colored tearnters. Good roads have stimulated the farmers to improve their lands and premises, be cause they are brought more into notice; for we do not like for our lands to appear poor and our houses dilapidated, and for the same reason they have encouraged improved larmiiig and stock raising. The imp- veii roads have brought about a better social feeling ana closer buslmss relations between the citizens of Charlotte and the count' by offering bet ter lacilities lor the people of the city to visit their friends in the country and vice vei -a. an 1 if all our roads w ere macada mize. I. m my of our wealthy citizens of the city would delight in owning farms in the country, and our firun rs would be better satisfied with their country homes and their surroundings. "All tin: above is evidenced by a unan imous appeal from the people to the county commissioners to speed on the work and make all the roads in the county good. Every man wants his road worked first, o d also evi lenees a willing ness to pay the road taxes, we have no complaint about them." Let good, h .id smooth roads once be established throughout the county and no one would be w illing to go back to the present miserable, sandy, muddy, un even ones Changes in the Steamer Lines, The new arrangement uuderlw hich the E i.teru Carolina Dispatch aud the Old Dominion Steamship company's lines are to continue their business here goes into effect the first of October. The business will be run as two lines under one agency Mr. G'-o. Henderson, will nave charge 01 evervthmg at mis point pertaining to both lines. All the warehouses and property belonging to both lines will be continued in use. On the E. C. D. line there will be no changes in the force, every employee will be retained. There will be some addition to this force, but how much is uot now known the details have not been perfect ed yet. The frequency of the runs has not yet been settled but will by the first of the month, butjwill be adequate; when needed a daily trip will be made. Ail the boats will run to Elizabeth Citv and there connect with, the Xortolk and Southern railroad for XorfolK. At Elizabeth City, as well as Xew Berne, the business is transacted under one agencv; j at Xoifolk the t wo lines diverge The ... , . 1 new arrangements will ensure a saving to 0 each line at both ends. ' Mr. Henderson lias been ths agent at ' thi ooint for the E. C. D. line everv since it was established, eight years ago. Its success 'luring that time has provea his ability in the transportation business.

Clark deserves great credit for the enthusiasm with which he took j hold of the work of procuring subscrip- j tions to macadamize that much useil por- , tiou of Xcuse road just beyond the city I limiis up to the A it X. C. H. R , and j the liberal responses that ue lias met with shows conclusively that the people were ripe for the improvement aud ncetl I eel only lor some one to lead 111 the mat ter. A lew days more at test, will complete the lUt of both city anil country subscribers. Xow that the citizens have show 11 such great interest in the work it. behooves the county to further their efforts by a l.beral appropriation. It is probable that by the time Mr. Clark gets through $500 or $1,000 dollars 1mm the county will three hundred dollars each to such an ob- ject it means that they want the work done. We hope the county commissioners will act as promptly and as liberally in the matter as the citizens themselves have. We will suggest moreover that the private subscription list may be farther augmented in this way: After what money possible has been secured, there may be others perleiuly willing ta aid in the work who cannot give the cash now or wdio are willing to add to their cash subscription such other services as they can render. They may be able to loan the use of a mule, horse, wagon, cart, implements, etc., for the whole or part of the time that the ivork as in progress. This they 1might do almost without cost and with but little inconvenience to themselves, but by keeping that much of the cash that had been subscribed from being paid out, the same good would be accomplished. Let there be no slacking up until the road stands complete, a benefit to all who use it and an object lesson to the whola county. OUR FISHING INTEREST This Sta e Has Better Advantages Than Any Other in The Union and With Effort Can Excel Any. X'o:th Carolina's fishing interests are great and now that the plan of lestockiug the streams with young fish of the choice kinds from hatcheries has been proven feasible and very successful, there is no telling to what limit the industry may be made I grow. A Ya-h;ngton correspondent ot the Raleigh Xews and Observer gives state ments and gratifying opinions from gov ernment fish commission relating to the industry in this State: Dr. H. M. Smith, of the Fish Commis sion, in preparing Iiis report for the past year in regard to the distribution of fish, says that Xorth Carolina waters are suit able to the growth of almost every kind offish. That while a good iranyofthe fish onnd there now are native to North Carolina waters. Several have been introduced that are of considerable value. He says the commission is put ting back into the waters fish that have almost become extinct in Xorth Carolina, tlue to so much fishing. The shad he says is a native fish antl is naturally more abundant in North Caro lina streams than in the stivams of any other State. Last year there were put in to Yadkin riyer 419,000 iu Xeuse river 403,000, in Lumber river 389 000 and in Pasquotank river 429,000 Making a total of 1.610,000 sh.ul the government placed in Xorth Carolina in order to in crease the supply. When these are turn ed loose they are all the way in size from four to twelve inches. Another fish very abundant in Xorth Carolina is the carp. This was originally a European fish, but is now found almost. in any of the waters of the United States. Last year there were only 1,221 carps sent to Xorth Carolina and these were to private individuals, the public waters be ing well filled. The Rainbow Trout is another imported fish, being a native of the Rocky Mountains. This kind is very valuable as a food fish as well as a game. There were distributed last year in Buck's Creek. 15,000; in Linoville Kiver, 760; in the Swannanoa, 500; in Sugarfork Run, 800; Ocona Lupton, 5,000 (four months old); in Jonathan Creek, 800; and in Long Branch (Black Mountain) 300. These were all, with one exception, a year old. The Black Bass is also distributed throughout the State, there leing 4,476 sent into the State for the public waters and 620 for private individuals. The Golden Ide and the Golden Tench are European fish that are being intro duced. They are considered very valua ble; 410 of these were introduced. The Gold Fish is sent only to private individ uals as ithas no value as a food fish. It is a native of Japan and they are distribu ted simply for ornamental purposes. Dr. Smith says that Xorth Carolina has the be.-t advantage for fish of any other State in the TJniou. and with a little more energy, ou the part of the Xoith Carolinians the fish interest of that State could be made to excel that ot auy other part of the United States, for the arrival of fishing boats trom north, also from farther south, clearly show that it could be made a paying industry by the own people of that section, because trans portation is so convenient, and the means for catching the fish are very simple.

Convention of the S ate Association at Raleigh A Red Letter Day The Speeches Senator Jarvis' Eln (inence Electrifies the People. ' The convention of Democratic Clubs came off in Raleigh. Thursday, Sept. 21sL The weather was splendid, and j fully half the counties in the State were represented by delegates. The meeting ! was a great success and brought together I a great crowd from all parti of the State. The distinguished gentlemen who came from a distance were the lecipieiits of much attention. The day was ushered in by the inarch ing of the clubs behind national music. At 11 o'clock the exercises were opened by a speech by S nator Ransom, who. however, was preceded by Col. Julian S. Carr. President, in a short, graceful open ing of the programme, which was elo quent aud elaborate, setting lorth the de mands upon the Southern people for them to remain with the Democratic party. Senator Ransom began speaking at the Academy of Music just before noon. He was introduced by 13. F. Aycock, Esq., He laced quite a large audience. He w.is in good voice, after his long speech at Smithfield Wednesday, and was well re ceived. His speech was mainly a rt view of what the Democratic pa'ty had done. I! wilt at length on the lei-e.d of the election law. He rejoiced at the icstora tion of the South fj all her rights, and at Ihe feet that her ballot boxes are all her own, and that A. W. Shaffer, late siipei visor of elections, can send oat no more warrants of arrest. He went on to speak of the financial reforms the present iidministration had accomplished. He said the new tariff would effect a saving of $50 to each farmer 011 his year's purchases. The audience burst into appl juse when in the course of his speech Si nator Rins.un al luded to Ex Governor Holt as considered by the people of ihe State as its wisest financier. Senator Ransom spoke two hours and then Col. Can- called the club convention to order. Governor Carr made an address of welcome. After a brief speech Mr. Katcliin intro duced Hon. Chas. H. Mansur, who spoke an hour. The convention then adjourned until night. The numbei of visitors to the club meeting from other points was about 400. At the night session the audience was a fine one, ladies attending in large num bers. The permanent organization was effected, Francis D. Winston being made eiiiiii-man anil B. Cl Beck with secre'iuj. The platform adopted is that of the last State Democratic convention. A resolution was unanimously adopted en dorsing1 the Nicaragua canal, which was so eirnestly favored by ex-Governor Black in his adelress. Mr. Liwience Gardiner followed Mr. Black and was in turn followed by Senator Jaivis. Senator Thomas J. Jarvis was the last speaker, and his friends claim that he made the effort of his life. Several hun dred ladies occupied seats in the gallery. He made a strong plea for Democracy, taking up iu detail each issue before the people, especially on national lines. H is a powerful debater and the Populists and Republicans present winced and wilted under the mighty b ows that he dealt. The enthusiasm of the hour uider the force and eloquence of Jarvis was intense, and the masses, from which he sprung, cheered to the echo, while his com patriots on the stage were intent upon his every gesture. Senators Ransom and Jarvis are rival candidates for the United States Senate, and their great speeches, Ransom's in ihe morning and Jarvis' at night, aroused their respective friends and caused inter esting and varied comments. Two "Dead Btat." J. W. Hansley and Chas. W. Mc Clammy, the brick mason., who recent ly came up to Xew Berne from Wilming ton, about two weeks ago appear to have been anything but a desirable acquisition to Xew Berne's population even lor the short time that they were here. Their whereabouts are unknown they may have gone back home. In the latter part of their stay, they went to drinking. The last seen of them was Thursday morning. Thev leave be hind them unpaid bills, (one of which was their board bill.) and an unfinished io of rdasterincr for Mr W. . Hill, for which he informs us they had under, one o ' pretext and another drawn, more than the part of the work they had performed would amount to. The last money was obtaine I from bin. up on the plea that they wished to change their boarding house and wanted the money to settle up an thev could eret their trunk the truth is they had 110 baggage and did not m back to their boarding house alter get tine the money. Mr. Hill lias some thought, of having the n pretence. rrested for fale These men came here an I found plenty of work iu their line waiting to be done They advertised when they arrived, re ceived immediate application for their services and had other work ahead ns soon as they got through where they were that would have lasted llietu for quite awhile. If they had come lu re, failed to obtain employment and b.eo ne embarrassed thereby, our sympathies would have gone out to them. But when they found work ravlily obtainable, and then disappointed those who em ployed them, neglected their duties, tquandered whatever they received swindled those with whom they dealt. and ran away exposure should follow them to prevent others from suffering at their h and.

" 1 Music, mother of Thought, thy gracious boon Ot hlesseil courage and renfweil resolves, Thrills the rapt soul, then leaves us ovei MOOIl, Ami Hope, but new ilisoerne.1, anon .li solves. Though transient be tic, . cet 1 ranspoi 1 spell, Take love it soothes the aching, pimpei heart." Some one of fame has said that "ibe j sweetest music is that we never hear; the: prettiest women are those we never see; the b st things in the world arc those we never get." The above quotation may have been true at the time it was written, but had ihe author been present at the musicale last evening he would no doubt have felt compelled to re-call the assertion. Last night witnessed one of the pret- tiesiand most delightful musical events 1 h it we have had in New Berne for a longtime. The large hall of the V. M. C. A., was fairly well filled with a cul tured and appreciative audience which was feasted to the following admirable and well-carricd-out program: PART FIRST Chorus Morniug Invitation, Veazie J uveniles.

Vocal Solo Bedouin Love Song, Pin suti T. W. Dewey. Vocal Duet The Hunter's Song, Kucken -Misses Suter and Powell. Vocal Solo Qood-bye.Tosti Mrs. W. B. Hill. The spacious stage contained about forty siagers, principally among whom were many of Xew Berne's fairest daugh ters, and they had been extremely fortun ate in getting SUCtl happy acl-rctionn, nnd if possible, were more fortunate still in the masterly way in which they carried out their parts, both vocal andinstru mental. The opening piece by fifteen little Misses anel boys gave a just concep tion of what might be expected. It was a bright and dashing chorus, splendidly rendered by the happy little children. In the midst of the chorus little Miss Sadie Moore in kneeling attitude sang in most solemn, and touching words a short prayer. Her voice is remarkably sweet and so clear that every utterance could be distinctly heard. We too well recognize our inability to properly review the remaining portion of the program. Mrs. Hill has now been in our city two months and this is the first time our peo ple in general have had the opportunity of liaving her appear before them with her music pupils, and they were well pleased at the advance shown. Mrs. Ilill has had in her class some who previously were without knowledge of music and they have bad their singing talents remarkably developed, while others who were fine singers before have shown rapid advancement. Mrs. Hill possesses good talent in the musical line, she not only has the correct knowledge and the power to impart it, but also the happy faculty of inspiring her pupils so that music becomes a posi tive pleasure to them. She will now leave for her home in Wilson but we hope to have her with us again. Populist County Convention. The Peoples Party Craven county Con vention will meet in Xew Berne next . . Wednesday The call for the convention announces that the purpose is "to nominate a county ticket that can be elected by the majority vote of the people, and one that can and will bond, and thus save from our hon- or.ible Board of Commissioners that aibi- trarv power of beinz necessitated of having ta appoint minority candidates to j serve the majority of people."

Besides the saving of time, and great prevention in wear and tetiK, itofferH increased inducement to fanners lo bring their produce to our market, for it is well known fact that on all three ol the public roads leading into Xew Berne, they are worse right adjoining here than on any other portion of them. The ball is in motion. To talk about improving our roads is all right as far ns it goes, but to stop there would amount to very little. Ac tion must be taken. Each man that ex pects in even the least way to lie beno fitted, should bear his proportionate part of the movement. Will any one dny that it w ill not pay to construct good substantial roadways? If 30 we would respectfully ask tlieni if they read the article in yesterday's Journal delivered by Col.

The farmer whose home is in the coun try tributary to Xew Berne has reason to congratulate himself over (he conven iences that are offered him in this market lor disponing of his rot ton. All the buvers are right in the neighborhood of the cotton exchange, consequently there is no running over the city to find them a3 at some places. Again, theie ia uo standing around with loaded wagons, 11 platform stands ready for Ihe use ol every comer. Then the very inoderide charges of the commission men w ho handle I he cotton are to be considered. The charge is only 'J5 cents ier bale; in many other placcH the charge is 1.00 per hale, and more over, if a farmer prefers lo sell Ins own cotton, instead ol paving the 'St cents to one regularly in the business to sell it for him, he has the privilege of doing so, in some markets be would not lie allowed lo do this. The convenient location o Hie cotton exchange is another good le itiuc, right in the business part ol the i ily nnd by the steamer docks so that il a farmer iinun to ship inslrad of selling hi has an op portunity lo do so irom the chnngo platform with no further I rouble except to hiive it passed over to one ol Ihe steam er warehouses adjoining. t ur cotton shippers ale wnle-iiwnko men. They keep posted on al I fluctua tions and they make ( often biing very close to w hat il would bring if shipped and the glower is saved from the 1 ik and trouble ol shipping, and tie ens slid rapiditv with which the collon sold here is handled is not excelled even in the larger cilies which handle eoiiidcnihly larger quantities.
