State Authorities Will Seek Their Betterment. Mors Legislation Probable. Illicit Still Cap tured In Person - County. Incomt . - tax Returns $27,988,000. Csn . - - dldslet Coming Out For Nomination, v (Special 'Correspondence.) Raleigh, March 7.-Dr. fratt states to your correspondent that the whole subject wUl be thoroughly gone into and that a general investigation will be maoe oi me weuBe, ramiico, aim vp, Fear rivers, and Pamlico sound, to the end that the State authorities may have at hand such valuable data and informa tion on which to base their actions toward th oetterment of fisheries con ditions. It is the aim of these gentle men through the regular channels of legislation to equalize the' laws attend ant upon the situation,' and thereby to increase the production of fish as a food supply, not only to the people of the immediate coast section but to those all over the State who are more speedily being brought into closer touch with the coast markets by a rea son of the activity of capital which is opening up traffic avenues by means of new railroads. Dr. Pratt expects to spend the remainder of this week in and about Wilmington when he will re turn to Raleigh Saturday for a more detailed : conference with Governor Glenn. i t ' Revenue officers returning to Person county tell of a raid just made , and a capture by the sheriff of that county of an illicit distilling outfit of 35 gallons capacity, with worm and , cap. A quantity of beer and fermenting vats were destroyed, and the still was locked up in the county jail for safe keeping until it could be turned over to the deputy' revenue collectors.' Although the stiU was in operation the "pro prietors" could not be apprehended. It is of interest to note that there were 2,825 people in North Carolina who made income tax returns, the to tal of which was 127,988,000. The counties In line of returns by numbers were. Wake 255; New Hanover 244: Guilford 211r Mecklenburg 119; For syth 179; Buncombe 139; Durham 131. It has has been understood for some time that J. Crawford Biggs, the Su preme court reporter is a candidate for judge in the Greinsboro-Durhara dis trict, and it ha even been claimed by his friends that he has the nomination assured' to him having Durham and Granville solidly behind him with an excellent chance to get about two-thirds of Person and Alamance .and a pretty fair support in Orange county. The im pression seems to have gotten out that Judge Shaw's friends were making o effort to send the tide against him, but the Journal correspondent learns today tht the friends of Judge Shaw are ac tively organizing in his interest and that Senator Alfred M. Scales ' of Greensboro is to lead in his fight for the judgeship. There are certain indi cations that some rather lively work will be done by the supporters of these two opponents. : ' The executive committee of the State Fair Association will hold an impor tant meeting Thursday, March 8th, when work will be discussed and. taken up looking to the thorough success of the 46th annual fair to be held in Ral eigh, October 25-20, 1900. " Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt of the Uni- versit) of North Carolina was in Ral eigh today en route to Wilmington, where he will join J. Cobb of the Bu reau of Fisheries of the', department at Washingtoh, D. C. Mr. Cobb coming south in response to a request of Gov ernor Glenn for National Co-operation with the State authorities in the mat ter of fisheries within the State. His friends throughout the State will be interested in the announcement that William B. Snow, city attorney of Ral eigh has entered the race for solicitor in this judicial district. The prrsmrt incumbent Armistead Jones will also stand for re-election. r ossibie canaiaaies are announced, or rather intimated from Harnett and Johnston ccunty. Arguments Closed in Matthews Case, Special to Journal: Greensboro, March 7. -In the Matt hews murder trial, the wholo day was consumed in argument to the iurv.

He not only looks after ; his of ficial duties, but he is always filling some pulpit on Sunday, attending some Sunday School celebration, marrying or burying somebody and making himself of service to the women and children of the rural regions loving to make them happier and succeeding in doing so. He has been quite sick recently, and the tributes of affection sent him from friends all over the county. His many friends will be glad to hear that he was able to be out yesterday. His mother, Mrs. Rachel Kirkman of Guilford Col lege, who has been with him returned home today. Although nearly ninety years of age, she is more active thtn her son who has the handicap of a lame hg. Mrs. Kirkman went to school in Greensboro 70 years ago. At that time there was but one house south of the railroad. ' - . ; In preparing for the vitrified brick pavement at the Kim street crossing evidences of the Greensboro of years ago are found. There has been ur. earthed a set of stepping stones thirty inches below the present level of the street. - The largest congregation that ever assembled in the Salvation Army Bar rack's in Greensboro was present last ni ht when ten new soldiers and one j'inior soldier were enlisted by Major Barker and Ensign Core, of Baltimore. Tiiere were about four hundred people pie Jen t. The ceremony was an im pressive one, the congregation wit nessing it with profound interest.

A Well Known Negro Character la Peppered -,V.V- With Shot. ' Wednesday night Joe Scott, who is now employed by the Pamlico, Oriental and Western Railway Co., got into a row with another negro at Bayboroand uo.iy made! iliu ruoeptacle of several shot of the No. 4 variety. For on-e Joe had the right of the difficulty and can almost be entered in the hero class for he fell doing his duty.' It seems that by virtue of his job he was custodian of a car filled with mis cellaneous freight and was guarding it with jealous care. ' Will Griffin went to the car and requested a package which was directad -to him. Scott re fused to give it to him, saying that he had not the authority to deliver goods and in a peremptory manner punctured more or less with cuss words of a per sonal nature, told Griffin to "git" That, of course, made Griffin fighting mad and that's the way the fuss began. Griffin had his gun, or procured one in some way and hauled off and threw a charge into Scott. . Most of the shot lodged in the shoulder and arm making a painful but not necessarily fatal wound. Yesterday he was reported as much improved. While it is, of course, to the wound ed man's credit that he was protecting the railway company's interest, and we dislike to say hard things about any ouc sven the meanest of God's crea turesbut we honestly believe that no one could have been victim to such an affair to the utmost approval of the public than this same Joe Scott. It seems almost like retribution and we hope, for the benefit of a suffering community, that Scott will be a better man.
