ATTRACTIVE POLITICAL NOT AN PARTY " .ot thA State news that For moii''" has been sent around told of the pros pective doings of the, Republicans. There were newspapers to be estab lished, there was to be a turning over new leaves, as to political conduct, with no scramble for office, and a gen eral reversal, so to speak, of political doings, all of which was to induce re cruits to flock to the party as one which would be clean, attractive and progres sive where good behavior would be rec ognize 1, and where the voter who was not hide bound might find a companion ship of congenial spirits who could vote for men and things instead of being compelled to vote for nominees and principbs of which they knew nothing and cnred less. The two newspapers have come, and pretty decent ones they are, much ahead of the men and their principles, whom they are supposed to. represent But all else in way of betterment has gonerather never came, for the same old, sentiment continues, to make the Republican party of North Carolina a narrow and bitted one, with a mem bership just large enough in numbers to fill the political offices and political appointments that arethe portion of he partly in this State. And beyond this same old exchisive ness, the court trials, the indictments drawn against the most prominent Re publicans, the more or lesp back biting and blackguarding among the factions in this this State, all this dis gusts not only those who have no strong Political tendencies, and who might be induced to vote for Republicans, but it also disgusts those who claim Re publican affiliations, who usually vote the ticket and who claim Republican Principles. ; It is not surprising that with all this display and exhibit, that Republicanism is less attractive in North Carolina than ever, for those who have boasted of its redeeming features, of its pros- ' pective elimination of every disturbing eement and its stand for decency, are themselves making a showing which drives away even those who have been Republicans, and keeps at a distance any voter who might possibly think of changing his party. It makes no dif ference how ably Republican news papers may bo edited, no. decent one can pardon, or find excuse for such con duct as is now going on among leading Republicans In this State. In fact it h hard to see why such a party needs a newspaper, for it has nothing it can, or wishes to explain in print, and its actions and those of its leaden would best be left in the dark, if possible. FISH SCARCITY AND MOTOR BOATS . It has been noted a number of times in the local columns of the Journal, the scarcity of fish in this market Word cornea from Morehead City that the fish market there is remarkably bare of fish, and has been all the winter, much to the injury of business in that place. This does not mean that no fish are caught, for there are always fish for home consumption, but there has been no fish for shipment, and this is a seri ous matter for a place like Morehead City, as well as New Bern," whose great trade has always been sea food pro ducts. . : .- . , '"" Inquiries have been made here and at !' nehead City, by the Journal, as to ; rrnsons for this unusual fiah scarcity 1 v lJlo several have been given by ' .-'i-men, the one which seems to -fit, iti that the many motor , !'.! Uiil of power boats, which ye.I in the waters of the w " ' y lit I' ( and while the fish caught fox market are very largely if not -altogether taken by net and seine, yet it may be quite possible that the power propelled boats, all of them noisy, might cause an alarm among the fish coming into the sounds and rivers, and frighten many fish back to the' ocean depths. At present it is the motor boat, not the sail boat, that brings the fish to market, after having been at the fish ing grounds gathering up ita cargo, and every foot it goes there is noise in the water, caused by these actively propelled boats, and it may be no fish erman's tale, that these boats are re sponsible for the fish being scarce. Accepting this to be true, the ques- is, what of the fish supply for the fu ture? Will the fish in the water be come accustomed to the motor boat, and so return to the rivers and sounds, or must it be for the fishermen to take to deep sea fishing? The question is an interesting one and must be deter mined one way or the other before many seasons pass, and so settle the matter of NeW Bern and Morehead City, being sea food markets, specially in the mat ter of fish. - . FUTURE COTTON CROP SELLING A HANDICAP. ' f The leaders of the National and State Cotton Growers Association in their efforts to sustain the farmers in holding their cotton, for higher prices, or rather for fifteen cents, lose sight of a most important factor, which plays a leading part, if cotton, is to be sustained and sold at any minimum price in the future. ThU factor is the future cotton selling of cotton farmers. Since cotton has leached ten cents and above, the price has been one which has. satisfied the majority of farmers, specially those who have struggled in years past, and raised cot ton to, be sold around six cents. There fore with cotton selling at ten cents in the winter months, or even above this figure, a good many farmers have been willing to enter into the sale of their next prospective cotton crop at prices about the same as might be prevailing during the winter months, so that cot ton buyers in some sections practically controlled the entire cotton acreage for the following season. There is no question but that in the past two years, many farmers have done well by thus selling their future crop of cotton, for when they were prepared to market their cotton, the then prevailing market price was in some instances one to two cents lower than the price at which they had con tracted to sell and at which they were delivering their staple. This has given the cotton farmer a new position, in the future crop selling, and when cot ton has reached eleven cents, it has not been hard for cotton buyers to make contracts for the next cotton crop. 1 . Two things result from this. The cotton grower who thus sells is out of the market, so far as being able to co operate with any Growers' Association, for his output belongs to some one be sides himself, and it must also follow that having contracted his crop at some fixed price, the farmer is going to put in so great an acreage as possible, and this aga'n removes him from entering any movement that the Growers Asso ciation may wy to make up lor a re duced acreage. Thus it is that this future crop sell ing of cotton by the farmer, must prove a serious handicap to those who may try have any minuimn price, or vho seek to have a co operative move ment of the farmers to reduce their acreage.... 2 ; ' ; .c,- Whether this future crop selling is a wise thing for the individual farmer to do, h another question. ! It is only as to its effect on the Growers Association that is now considered.- .

' Accuse ., tlontoa All Sides. - Big' Damage ' " And Administrator's Suits. Dy aamite Exploded. Furni ture Manufacturers Meet, (Special Correspondence.) Greensboro. Feb. 23. Mr. G. S. Bradshaw, editor of the Tar Heel Weekly, as well as a prominent- attor ney here, and recognized as the brains of the Blackburn forces, returned last night from his flying trip to Washing ton. He sawthe President alone this time, having no flying squadron to di vide the President's attention When Mr. Bradshaw ascended "the .steps at the mansion going in, he was : a little bit rattled to see Congressman Gudger and Judge Pritchard coming down from an interview with the President. While Mr. Bradshaw is reticent as to the suc cess of his mission, which ' was exclu sively in behalf of his old college chum, I'rot. j'razier, for postmaster, it is generally understood that the Presi dent has been prevailed upon to think that the appointment of any recommen dation of Congressman Blackburn's would have a bad moral effect on the indictments of revenue - officers ind blockaders for alleged frauds in Wilkes county." That seems to be Frazier's only trouble. It is said that the Pres ident has been reliably informed re cently that Frazier was not Blackburns choice, and that he only signed the recommendation after being advised to do so by Speaker Cannon. The next move on the President in airing Repub lican soiled linen, will be an attempt to discredit the Douglas influence, -with which the President is very much at tracted, .especially by the fact that they are offshoots of Stephen A and Catholics. It is generally known here that a record of events during- Judge Douglas' reign here as Marshal and Clerk is being prepared with a view to showing that the Judge was short with the Government to the extent of $ 10, - 000. The Judges active efforts in filing scandalous charge '" against Prof. Frazier, are said to be the cause of the revamping of these old charges to show that the pot should not call the kettle black. ' No wonder the President gets sick and tired of North Carolina Re publicanism with Blackburn throwing off on a United States Circuit Judge, and a United States District Judge and United States District. Attorney and others gravely preparing what might be termed accusations of embez zlement against a former Supreme Court Judge and a life long Republican Federal office holder. It looks like the democrats must have always been right in not trusting State and county ad ministrations in the hands of republi cans, any longer than it could take to make the negroes quit electing them to office. It was much laughed at the day he said it, but the remark Hon. Romulus Z. Linny made to Collector Duncan in the bar of the Federal court while the Samuel case was in progress may not be such a laughing matter af ter all Said Mr. Linnev to Collector Duncan in a stage whisper so that half a dozen others could hear him:"Duncan if you don't manage some way to stop this fellow Holton, d - if we won't have to hold the next State Republican Unvention in Atlanta, if we desire any working delegates in attendance. "And no longer than this morning a Republi can was heard to say: "If the Presi dent wants to clarify the revenue de partments and the revenue situation in this State and will aonoint Judire Bynum as District Attorney the whole shooting match, leading members of both factions instead ' of one, would be in the nemtentiary before the conven tion comes off."

The agitation anent the retention of C T. Bailey as postmaster in the Ral eigh post office or a probable succes sorsliip continues to agitate Raleigh people regardless of party affiliation. One of the developments by a contin gency applicant is expressed it the fact that Willis G.: Briggs has signed post master Bailey's petition. J. W. Har den is being advocated through his friends who are circulating petitions and securing signers thereto. More particular: talk attaches to the possibil ities of Lester F. Butler, a clerk in the revenue' department - and - a 'younger brother of Ex-Senator Marion Butler, whose claims are founded on a friend ship with the Republican party, and whose influence will have its evidence through the efforts and by the direc tion of his brother whose work in Ma ryland and in the West has a certain weight with the "powers." There; is at the same time the fairly' offered statement by Mr. Bailey's close .friend that his office is not : a question of chance but is assured. In addition to the formal petition persoral letters of strongly termed endorsement are being written, both voluntarily and upon re quest - . tN MEM0RIAM. Mrs. Fannie Gill was born Nov. 12th 1819, died February 12, 19C6, being eighty-six years and three months of age. This aged Christian lady received the fulfillment of the promise in His Holy Word, "He that honoreth father and mother, to him will I grant length of days." Her faculties were unim paired, retaining her memory to the last. She had a wide circle of friends who greatly enjoyed her company and conversation when she was strong enough to converse with them; for from the storehouse of memory she would bring forth reminiscences of the older times that were amusing as well as instructive. She was a lady of the highest culture; of innate .refinement enjoying all that was good and pure in life. Always thoughtful of the wel fare of others, she rejoiced with those who were glad and happy, and sympa thized with those who were troubled. Her interest in home affairs, her coun sel and guidance made tier the control- ing influence to the last. Her life be ing a long one, was naturally a check ered one, a mixture of jy and Sorrow, of brightness and shadows, but being naturally of a sunny disposition she was enabled to bear with patience and calmness the suffering incident to bo many years of sickness. Her faith in God was strong and abiding, never doubting the love and wisdom of her Saviour, who directed her steps through life, knowing that he doeth all things well So in patient waiting for her Lord, it seemed but meet, that when "the silver cord waa- loosed and the pitcher broken at the fountain," that at Eventide her pure, sweet spirit should have . passed ; from earth to Heaven as quietly and calmly aa the infant falleth to sleep on its mother's breast ; H.
