tau'J-port Pilot tnd Wilmington- Rpr
tentative Taylor' View On Pllotag
Matter.
Raleigh, February 25th. The bill
abolishing pilotage on the Cape Fear
river is in what may be called a mixed
condition. Your correspondent today
interviewed the pilots, who say that
they consider that in a way they won,
in that the defeat of the original bill
was brought to bear by the other side ,
that they' had to compromise or so
speak they prefer a system of pilotage
and don't know what effect the com
promise will have, this being that there
shall be no law at all regarding pilot
age. Pilotscan give attention to the
vessels if their services are needed, but
there is no responsibility whatever upon
them and any one, whether a pilot or not
not can serve a vessel, the pilots being
bound to render any service., They
say they prefer this clean sweep to the
drastic bill which was proposed.
On the other hand the Wilmington
business delegation here express un
bounded delight at ' what has been
agreed upon, saying that Wilmington
will be the only port" south of Maine
entirely open to vessels, without the
slighest restriction, and no pilotage
laws at all. They report that they are
highly pleased and say the change will
be the first step towards making Wil
mington a notable port of entry and
that in a few years it will be the place
through which all imports to North
Carolina will be received, and that it
will take the place of Norfolk as a
basing point for rates;, that all the
West India products can be brought to
Wilmington cheaper than at any other
point on the Atlantic coast.
Representative Taylor of Brunswick
whose home is at Southport, the head
quarters of the pilots, is not at all
pleased with the status of affairs and
says that there certainly should be
pilotage laws, that the State is under
obligations to the general government
under the law of 1886, and also to for
eign countries through the government
to maintain an efficient system of pilot
age; that Southport and Wilmington
are the only important ports in the
State and that the compromise will re
peal" all regulations, whatever as to
service of vessels on the part of pilots.

The Revenue Cutter, Boutwell, ar
rived in port Saturday afternoon with
the schooner Cherubim in tow.
It will be remembered that the Cher
ubim went ashore near Portsmouth
I sometime in January, and all efforts to
get her off have been unavailing.
The cutter went down the first of
February and made an attempt to re
lieve the stranded vessel but did not
succeed on account of low tide. Again
Friday the revenue boat being in the
vicinity, went again to the Cherubim's as

and in three hours the boat was

ascertained at this writing.
Only two of the crew were aboard,
both negroes, the captain and others
having gone to their homes, which are

A Promising Young Artist.
Mr. Eugene Tucker, Jr., has devel.
oped a remarkable talent as an artist
Without the aid of a teacher or any
great amount of practice he has made
several very fine oil paintings. He is a
young man and is greatly encouraged
over his success as an artist
One of his latest pictures is an oil
painting of the battleship Brooklyn
at sea and going full speed.
It is an excellent representation. It
may be seen in one of S. K. Eaton's
show windows. ,
Another one of his artistic efforts is
a picture of Suwanee River, a scene of
nature which is very true, and it is
something of which well to be proud.

There is no reform advocated by
Mr. Roosevelt which will result in so
much good to his party as the rotation
in officewhich he is said to favor. :
A monopoly of office holding will
bring the dry rot, and finally the death
knell to every political party that makes
this its policy.
It has come home to Republicans in
the State and in the nation. The abo
lition of it in North Carolina may mean
renewed vigor to the party by appeal
ing to the ambitious young men of the
State, who, as the policy has hereto
fore been, have stood no show what
ever for any public recognition.

The Guinea-Pig Proved li
Drs. Lassar and Bishop, both noted
scientists, took dandruff scales from
the head of a student who was losing
his hair and having made a pomade of
them with vaseline, rubbed the same
upon a guinea-pig and the pig became
bald. (See George Thomas Jackson,
M. D. on Diseases of Skin, 4th. Edi-
tional.) Newbro's Herpicide should
be used at the first suggestion of dan
druff or itching scalp. It prevents
scalp infection, robs the public hair
brush of its power to do harm, and
never fails to cure dandruff and stop
falling hair.
When your hair is going, Herpicide
will save it, but when your hair has
gone, it is too late for Herpicide. In
other words, baldness is incurable.
Therefore, save your hairwhile you have
hair to save.

the ships which . were pnlled out into

down the river before a strong wind
and spread the fire into the residence
section. It was checked by Louisiana

The elevator suddenly burst into flames.
The fire is said to have started from an

Thomas Jefferson, who is successfully

recently asked why he did not have a
dog in the play, as he is constantly
speaking of "My Dog Schdeider". He
replied: I dislike realism in art, but
realism with a tail to wag at the wrong
time would be abominable. N6, no,
hold the mirror up to nature if you like,
but don't hold nature up a reflection
of the thing, but not the thing it
self."
Thomas Jefferson will play Rip Van

SENATOR WARD INTERVIEWED
His Position On The Charter Amendment
Position.
Senator D. L. Ward, who has been
at home for a few days on account of
sickness; was able to be out yesterday
and said that he was feeling much bet
ter. . .':.;;
In an interview with the Journal in
regard tf the proposed amendments to
the city charter, Mr. "Ward said: "1
was about town today and met a num
ber of citizens who ; almost without
dissent seemed greatly dissatisfied in
regard to the bill sent to Raleigh by
the Board of Aldermen, this being the
til which had been voted down by the
mass meeting. 1 wired Senator Aren-
dell today in regard to the settlement
concerning the bill and asked him to
hold it in the Senate until my return. I
received the following reply, have had
the bill held up uqil you get back, I
also wired speaker O. H. Guion that if
bill came to the House not to let it
pass. 'X'-v.: v i "V'
"This brought two telegrams from
City , Attorney Mclver demanding t
know why I interf erred wth the passage
of the bill which provided for the sub
mission of the question to the people,
I replied that this particular bill had
already been before the people in mass
meeting and had been rejected as a
dangerous measure as it gives power
to condemn property and issue bonds.
In further explanation, Mr. Ward
stated that the law usually in similar
cases required a petition of one third of
the citizens before an election and in
this case there had been no petition.
