In I;ivt, a we retd the graphic and glow ins: descrip tion, we felt like we were in a inea-ure uili y of the sin of envy, lint imagine our surprise when we came to the second s'anza of this melodic chant, viz : a dis solution upon the oyter laws of the past lirr'Si-nt o u-.. r.;,l,..I it oh ..'I il.o ir.,iil.l wit',1 repaid to stagnation o the oyster industry is but a h i:i:iii.a:e result i f the pasge ot the acc ot known as th- I.ucas Act ' This act having as its main featuie the prohibition (.f liiedini; as a n.cans to procure oy.-ters.

The present law, passed by n hat is known as the Fusion Legislature is en tirely ignore I. and the ricale of the tong is a lamentation over the presumed idea that wheieas ihe Makely -law was repeal led, no more lnosperily is, as lar as it te- gards the ovster nidustrv, prospective. norIn Om nvtor iil.lllwtl Now for the b nelit of ihe eilitor of the Economist-Falcon, I would ask if it would not be well while publishing thc wrooir ti.ir.gs (V) that the fusion legisla ture did, to publish a chapter of gonl things, and thus enlighten the minds ol his readers rather than misrepresent the general make up of that body':' For ihe information ot a'l, at d especial ly the Kconoiniit-Falcon, I submit the following: 1.

MALARIA IX IWPIRK MATER And Sot Ho Much in the Air a is Com monly Supposed All Trncrt of it Banished by Artesian Wells. The question ns to the effects eif the drinking water used is entering largely into publ:c discussion aDd the jirevailing expression of opinion among those who have studied the subject most closely, is that the trouble is eiue. conlrjrv to what seems to I e the generd impres-ion, more to impure water than to impure air. The Charleston News and Courier re cently ncied the great attention that is now leing paid lo this subject in both North and Souih Carolina and if elec'ares that the testimony is all one way the way we have stated. In a letter to the Si uthem Slates Maga zine Mr. R. K. Rockwell writes that pure water has etadieated malarial fever Irom the town of Vinelanel, X. C. that the water question has been receiving atten tion "all over the country ,'- and that gootl water is co-v to be had 'almost any where." He add.-: "The theory that. bad w;:t r and not bad air is the cause of so much ehsiase. and especially of what we Call ma'aria. bus Ixeu proven true in eveiy iiiSiai ee where a t&t has been maele. "Lniil reci ntiy the people in this sic-; tiou used only surtace water. Malaria was prevalent and was attributed by phy- sici.ins and all alike to impure1 air. Quin- ine was prescribed, and it was mo,- i;n - pOl'HLil. 111.11 LI. C lll-'lUOl 00; UI IJIOHIIIC shouhl not be missed th in it was to i at bi-eeiktast. The sale of this attiede had ' become so larte that it w is made a 'lead-1 c r' in man)- stores, a very low price put on I it to attiact attention, and when the eus- ! tonu r tame after quinine ethe r goods would be s dd to him. But this slate of thin-'S has el anted; there is no more sale fir epiinine in any quantity. lion. '"u: e w ater has elor.e the work.

It ;.!- i .i:r.i-i .-.way ThU.it ssien. is p, nim n; anls'ront testimony iu support of the bad waterl theory, and it is a fair example of the ' m iss of testimonj-. Tlie people "u-e I only surface water.'' and "malaria was prevalent." Pn vsiciaus and all others attributed it lo impure air. Much quin ine was prescribed and sold ami swallow ed; it was tlie chief article ot trade and Commerce and consumption, and still 'malaria was prevalent"' y. ar ;.f;er e r f-r possibly a hun.ir. el year-. Then there came a change. "Iu our town we have an Artesian well" at last, arel '"all traces of malaria have disappeared.'" There has been no other change but the change in the water, aral the consequent "marvel lous" change in the "appearance and fc 1-imr-'' of the inhabitants. They appear wid e aud re d ir.te:V I of piuepkoi e o'ored. They le- 1 stioig and are fresh and eae-r-getie instead ot being "nnel bid'ore break fast,"' aud d.spose I to lean up against something an t think all tlie day long, when ihey w-'ii'd like to be t work or down at the stoie talking polities. There is no more sale I't epiinine. i . any qnan titj'. There is the same edd "bad air" in the town a!l day and all night in the summer and fall. Tlie cm?!-; ;iud ihe rivers overflow, and the swamps are ree k ing with dee-UN eel and decaying n getaiion as fiefore limes lint all tii e-.-s of in.d.ir'a have dUapp- aied. "l'ute water has done the work '.'" If i he experience of thousan U of people and the testimouv of hundieils ot coinpa tent and carebal oi's-rver- count for any thing, the Mialaiinl districts'' are the healthiest regions in this coun'iv, provid ed only that their surtaie waters which bear the malarial germ- .ire not used for drinking purposes. Two American sailor are rcporb el as being iu prison in Kinston Jamaica in a , dying condition. The American consul . procured their release but thev were re-1 arrested and his further efforts have been' futile. Their oassoorts and nnoers are ' all correct and not even a pretext beyond that they are suspected is given for their imprisonment. IROH TIIK lTIOAI. AIM I AI..

Other Ail vniilauei That Wonld Accrue Should the Proposed Change on the W. . A X. It. K. Take IMaee. We announceel that a change of sched ule evas m contemplation on the W. N. v. N. R. Ii. which if adopted would cause the two daily trains to swap runs, that is that the regular passenger train would leave Wilmington in the morning and New Berne'in the afternoon and vice versa. We pointed out at the time ol making the announcement some of the advantages that would result from such a change if it were made and the mail changed t. the passenger Ir on under that schedule but there are other advantages still thatC'iuld be mentioned. The pa-sei gi-r train would ot course have a quicker schedule and we woulJ aecording'y get mail from Wilmington aed fro ji along the line of the road earlier in the day than we now do. More-over, a freight train crrnnot be r.-lietl upon to make its sciicelule time. Here in the citv a delay causes a little v.xa.ion but in the country it quite ofen emails positive discomfott upon the mail ageuts who have lo meet the train and lis there on schedule tune and wait until ii arrives. Son e of the post-offices, as De Bruhl's, Dixon's, S oop Point amLTopsai! Sound are fiom two tothree miles each distant from i he point on the ro.icl where '.hey get ihe mail, while Swansboro, Palo Alto',' Catha rine Lake, T.-.r Landing and Gum Branch are at siill greater distances, being as lar away even as sixteen miles And yet nil those who carry mail back and forward between t he traiu and these post-offices have to be em hand in time and wait until the train arrives and s .n.e of them meet the tiain a t places w her j theiv is not even a station and have t wait out in the weather whatever it may be, we are informed, until it arrives. We rather expect that the schedule that Nvould be ananged under the change would give those who coine to New Beiue for a brief trading trip, a lit tie more time in the city and it would give the lull proposed time, whatever it was, reliably. This would be good both for the pcple near New Berne and fur our mere! i ants. It would also work well for Wilming ton. Il would give quick and reliab'e eommunicat on between the city and those along the road. The Wilmington papers especially would feel the difference for their subscriber would then at the va rious post-offices, know just when they could get them and be all the better salis rie I thereat. l'ut one of the greatest advantages to New Berue would I e the close connection that could ther. be made at Wilmington both North and S-.uth with mail that leaves he:e in the alternoon making us almost a day nheid of w hat can be done now w ith matter mailed in the after noon This would be a great advantage es pecially in notifying of truck or other shipments and in other business trans actions wht re di-p.iie h is requited. mSA.STROlS RIVER FLOODS. Roanoke, t'ape Fear ami Other Rivers Basing Cape Fear Four Feet Above ftanser Line at Fayelleville and Mill Rising-Many Bridges Gone. The weather bureau's warning of trouble by the oveifl -Nviug of rivers is being amply verified. Fiom Raleigh corresp iivlence of the Messenger we take the following: "There is no fear of further frost now. But the floods are doing lar more damage thau frost could have d ne. in this section. At the weather bureau lo elay Mr. Von Hermann said that the rain lalls weie phe nomenal. Mort of the rain fell Sunday night. At M arven 3.17 inc hes fell, and hi Chapel Hill 4.75 inches. Reports at 8 o'clock this morning stated that the Roa noke at Weldou was 31.2 ieitor4iiet above the dang- r line, and rising rapidly, and report from the Cape Fear at Fayvtte v il le -said it was 42 fee', or 4 feet above the danger Hue, and rising rapidly. The outlook Is lor great floods. The quick ness of the rie is phenomenal. Mr. Ve n He rmann says: In tliis- county the h.ss is heavy. Back water in Ciabtiee creek earned away the bridge (the highest in the county) at the county Inline. Other bridges on Neuse river and other streams are gone. Low land i tons are b aby huit. The worst of the rain was from Ci ape! Hill northward into 'irgima. No more railway wash outs w ere ri ported to-day. A careful watch was kept last night by railway pe. pie."

This was averted however. The loss is over $200,000. The build ing was defective and had been con demned two yecrs ago, and it was crimi nal negligence that it had not been torn clown. Father F. H.

Previous to that lime almost no attention had be. n paid to ihe work ia count ry plac -s but Irom the timeofiis establishment more attention lias been paid to such evange is tic work than at any time before'. A good por ion of the tune as many or more evangelists are in the field than regular pastors. Seven are at present devoting a whole or a portion of their fun-.' to this feature ot the work. That this work is proving effective can be seen from the lact that luliy a third of "he churches in the Presbytery are new ones and another is now I cing .started at Kinston. Mr. J. J.

Movements are a'so in prog res for the erection of churches at other places -which will no doubt soon materialize. lie-ports upon this evangelistic wo'k were made by the evangelists at the night meeting. These reports were made plainer and more inte-re-sring by a large map oi Albemarle Presbvtery fr.inting the au dience, upon which was jio nt, d out the several churches which each evangelist se -ved, and they showed in their repoits where their homes, the distances they tiaveiled to fill each appointment, nnIi iI services were held at e ch place aud how frequently, the condition and circumstan ces atte nding the work at each place when thev entered upon it.' and the condition in which it now is and its outlook and needs. Those who heard the reports departed with better ideas o the existing eircum stai:c s in the field than iliey could have obtained as easily in any other way. The report3 were very encouraging in the showing they gave of the prog-ess that is lieing maele, and ihe in e !s which the re ports made manifest for ineieaseel efforts and a more vigorous prosecution i f the church should in-piie ad interested to ic doubled zeal along this liue t f the church NVOlk.
