EFFECTIVE EMPLOYMENT WATER METERS. - OF Only those who need a steady and con sistent water pressure throughout the twenty-four hours, for their business, or those whose property suffers from extra fire loss, due to lack of water pressure, it is only these who feel the need of some method by which the City of. New Bern, can give its patrons a water pressure, regular and full to a good working pressure, every hour and every day in the week. The Journal has suggested several times. Duttine in water meters, to make consumers pay for the water they actually use, and so prevent the enor mous waste of water which a cold night, a hot day, or the running of the motors for fans, etc , nt hours when no one may be using them. is a very present aggravation, xsui less than sixty days remain for poll tax payment, if the voter is to exercise his franchise this year at elections, and it must not be forgotten that failure to pay before May first, in no way cancels the payment, for it must be paid some time. The loss is to the voter. He loses his identity at election time. Tax paying to the general citizen, seems to represent the giving up of money without any particular return. Taxes are always wasted, says the citizen, and I don't see where my money goes. And thus reasoning the citizen dodges the sheriff and tax collector un til forced to payment because of some penalty, like the loss of election rights, or the added cost for having his name on the hnquent list. And now it is for the voter who woul J be one with every right, to pay at once his County and State poll tax, or be come a non-entity at election time, and at the same time be chased by the tax collector. hat a glorious worldTttiis would be for sheriffs and all tax col lectors, if tax payers Jwould rush for ward early in each year, and Py their taxes! But such an ideal world is not for presenter future generations. The growling tax payer is to be always a feature of each generation, while sheriffs and tax collectors are to be ever hunters of the fleeing man, who puts off until the last from his tax pay ment. ' FISH FISHERMEN'S CUSTOMS VS. LAWS. The Journal's Raleigh correspondence tells of an interview with becretary Bruner of the State Board of Agricul ture, upon his return irom a recem visit to Eastern Carolina, of what he saw in the way of fishing methods, and n 1 ttin kind of fish caught, and the waste and destruction which the pres ent methods are causing to North Car The argument I olina's fish industry. against meters is their heavy expense.

Mr. Bruner heard of many sugges- tions, when in this eastern section, of what should be done to remedy this destruction of fish, which be kent in the water until ornwn to a size for food, most of the! suggestions requiring that there must be some defined lines to mark out what the present laws call for, in the matter SC"E FACTS REVIVED As Often Told In These Columns. Secretary State Board Agriculture Telia ct Flh Destrtictlo At He Saw It Is New Bern. ' Conference of Partie In ' - forested In Immigration. (Special Correspondence.) ' Raleigh, March 6. The fact that Hon. T. K. Bruner, Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture has made a sojourn has already been chronicled, but there are facts that will, be devel oped bj that visit that have so far scarcely been brought to light Mr. Bruner talked today with the Journal correspondent regarding some of the fish interests along the shores of our State waterways. He said in substance: There are certain things affecting the fiph industry in North Carolina that are in a condition which demand the most serious consideration from the people of the entire State. While these con ditions have effect with the fishermen most of all, it being a source of revenue to them, the whole people are affected however in food supply, and it is this aspect of the case which is of most in terest at present. Fishes far below the normal size of food fishes aretakenj some finding -a market at ridiculous figures, and some being hauled out and used as fertilizers on the lands ad jacent the streams and sounds; for in stance: 1 saw two buahel boxes' of mul let at New Bern, averaging four to six inches in length; those boxes bring 50 cents each, twenty five cents going to the boatmen for delivery at the mar ket, and the other twenty five cents to the fishermen. Had those mullets been allowed to remain in the water three to four years and then marketed during the months when those fish are in prime thkt is, during August, September, October and November, the contents of the box would have been worth fifty dollars instead of only fifty cents.'' There was held today an important conference of the interested parties concerning the immigration movement in North Carolina. M. V. Richards, industrial agent of the Southern Rail way Co., WilberMcKoy, of the Atlantic Coast Lino were for a long time with Governor Glenn, and later with Com' missioner Patterson of the Department of Agriculture and Hon. T. K. Bruner, Secretary of the State Board of Agri culture, J. W. White, of the Seaboard system, was detained in Portsmouth be cause of the fire to that company.

The size of the matter is that the fishing interests of this State have been so juggled though the politicians, that there has been nothing accomplished, and the present conditions as de scribed by Secretary Bruner is the re sult, and until there be some practical and radical changes made, the cry of no fish will be more of a reality than it is today, in Eastern Carolina. The fishing interests of North Carolina must be first entirely removed from politics. A commission of practical business men should be placed in charge, men who have no favorites to look af ter, and who will have power to deal with the situation as local conditions demand.
