New Bern, N. C, March 27, 1906. THE READING OF NEWSPAPERS It may be said without contradiction that it ia only the exceptional person that reads the daily newspaper, bo as to be able to have any coherent idea of its contents an hour after the paper ha been laid aside. The newspaper reader a a rule reads just the portion which - ia of personal or individual concern or interest, social or religious, of finance, or of sports, and the rest of the paper ia passed over. Two phases of newspaper reading, or the neglect of . it, perhaps a combina tion of each, are worthy of special con sideration, these being the quickness with which the reader of the new spa per will see an article, be it good or bad, of a personal nature, and the ex treme impossibility of being able to see other articles in the same paper, which mayjbe equally personal yet of a differ ent character. - An article of a complimentary kind. will be noted at a glance on a page of matter, as will also the article which may be uncomplimentary. The news paper reader will quickly see either . of these, but let an advertising notice be aet in prominent type, calling attention to tbe fact that taxes are due, and the tax-payer will swear that he never saw the notice, although he looked over the newspaper every day for a month. But : let the same tax-payer be found a delin quent and he will note that, his name is published in the first issue of the pa per, although it be on an inside page and in the smallest type set in and sur rounded with a hundred other names. Every newspaper in the State has al ready published the warning that the poll tax must be paid before May first, if the voter wanta. to. vote in this year's lections, and yet it is quite likely that after May first, there. wiU be thousand of voters who will swear they never read such a notice, or were warned of tne penalty, u not paid. The reason meybethajt the warning came under the demand to pay taxes, and at the wori tax, the newspaper reader quickly glanced away, so that he could prove an. alibi, when the sheriff, came to, take hia goods, by claiming he never saw the notice published. THE MATTER OF PARTY LASJi The democrats, of this State, are. no longer under the lash of a lew party rulera aa they were in the past. It is strange that these men cannot learn this. The time has passed when the siate can be made up m Ka&igU and forced down the throat? of the masses , of tie party. Men will claim the right ' o strike from their ballots the names : of certain men they think unfit for the otbees to which they nave been nomi nated and still demand tbe right to be - -called democrats and tbe privilege to affiliate with that party. But if they are threatened with expulsion from the ?any lur pursuing such a course, then heir votes will be lost to the whole tet. The above from an editorial in the Wilmington Messenger, under the head tog. "No longer under the party lash," is, if the Journal (a not mistaken, hv ipped by recent interview of Mr. osephus Daniels, published In a Wash ington, R C, newspaper, in which Mr. Daniel says quite plainly that Mr. W. 4. Bryan ia to be the probable nominee of tha democrats on their next national I'.ket, for President V. hi! all democrats are equal, in the j-iivi! e of expressing their preferen- f t candidates, our esteemed con , iury of the lower Cape Fear t f1ailkly acknowledge that Mr. i ot cm ics a di.Terent position it .' -3 d :: -..crut, nut tliuthe - v i j . : Jve authority, per . i tin i.:-..-r t.f t'.e daily news v 'lit i ' 1 es the politi- I" i tt r.-.rS C -r-di.- a ia inclined to think that the Messen ger is a trifle severe, in accusing Mr. Daniels of "attempting to force upon the people a candidate they do not want." How does the Messenger know this, and who except Mr. W.R. Hearst, in MvUflSSr before the people, aa possible presi dential candidates for the democratic party, therefore Mr. Daniels prefer ence for Mr. Bryan is quite natural, and the Journal cannot believe in fair ness, that this interview, in an outside paper, ought to stamp the Newa and Observer editor as a wieldar, or would be wielder of the party lash . at this time, for being away from, home, the Journal takes it, that Mr. Daniels ex pressed his individual views, from hia own point of view, on the next possible democratic presidential candidat.- The esteemed Messenger, the Jour nal is sure, has no axe to grind poli tically, and its heat on this matter ia no doubt due to past affairs, and in fear of some repetition of old times, in politics, it deaiies to express its stand before the convention and ' election time. But today the party lash ia only for those who will tamely submit to it. and tbe Messenger need not be so classed. - THE REAL SOURCE OF FISH DES TRUCTION. The Journal has already in these col umns noted one alleged cause for tne small catch of fish this season in the rivers and sounds of Eastern Carolina, namely,1 that the coming of motor boats, with their noisy passage, through the waters, drives the fish from the places where they have hitherto been found caught, and always found In abundance. This cause, the motor boats, is denied in some quarters, while there can be found numbers of fishermen who are firm in their belief thatr the motor boats are driving away the fish. While the Journal does not accept the motor boat theory, as the chief cause for lack of fish supply this sea son, it can hardly be denied that, these noisy boats do in some measure drive fish away from many places where they have in the past been plentiful. But the real source of fish destruc tion in these eastern rivers and sounds, is the pound net, which each year is slowly but certainly catching the living fish, and so cutting off the supply for the future, by the destruction of the source of propogatian. ; A few years tk... m.t ., . f .wfvVT"w mini , -""them were Misses Pearl and Ida Ward. over three months in the year. Now it is usual to find them eight or nine months in the year. And it is in the multiplicity of these nets, the-horough covering of water reach in river and sound, that leaves the fish absolutely no chance to spawn, or if spawned, then no lease of live in which to ma ture, to become of size suitable for food, os a merchantable article. With the pound nets so thickly spread, and so. continuously in service, the fish coming into the sounds and rivers, setking spawning ground, can only by accident pass through and reach their place of spawning. , And on their re turn to sea, the nets are spread for their destruction, nets with a mesh so fine, that it must be a very small fish that may enter and gpt out of them, so that old and young are ' caught, tear ing no future stock from which a new supply may be created Of what actual value is it that the government stocks the rivers of Eastern Carolina, if these neta Ishall continue! The fish may spawn, but they will never reach ma turity, except in rare cases, for the pound net with its close mesh is plant ed to catch the young fish seeking the sea, and the opportunity to mature. Tht fishermen most interested will not deny this source of fish destruction There is no argument in this matter. it is destruction, annihilation, of this magnificient industry. The only rea son, "if we don't, some else will," is a fisherman s refrain which demands some Bute action which will prevent every one from pursuing this pound net course of fishing eight or nine months in the year, or any other course which means fish destruction. Reso lutions and gubernatorial threats will not remedy the evil A practical com- .mis"01 board is wanted, which shall I uke he nwtter in" hand, and cure the evils now existing. - Thirty Ninth fear. The legend "Vol. LXVIII No. 1," appeared on the Wilmington Star yet terday and aside from being a techni cal help it was a modwt announcement 1 that the Star had reached the 78th se- Jies of publication and was in its year.

March 23. -Since the Publicity Bureau of the Jamestown Exposition offered a prize for a suit able emblem to use upon its stationery and future advertising, letters have come from all parts of the country bearing suggestions, .. r. . . The $100.00 offered to the successful con testes tant in this competition waa not hedged with restrictions, because the belief was that few professionals would enter the contest, and that the selected design would perhaps be sub ject to many modifications. The contrary baa proven true. Many men of mark in the world of Art, have written ua for detail and requesting as mueh time as possible for the prepa ration of iheir suggestions. . No time' limit was placed at first, but now it has been decided to keep the competition open until the - first of May. ; .- The appeal to the ingenuity of the Amercan people has certainly been justified by "events, and the diversity of ideas is certainly remarkable. Inci dents connected with the early history of the colony of Virginia which to moat people have appeared negligible, have assumed, large proportions in -some minds and are suggested as meet sub jects for the emblem. For instance, the picture of John Smith and his company chanting a matin at daybreak on the banks of the stream while the Indiana stood in wonder at what they thought was the white man singing his war song ere the sun had fully risen, was stated by one sugges ter as being the most dramatic incident in the early history of Virginia. Un fortunately he only gave the thought and did not accompany hia idea with an illastrative drawing, for such a subject depends largely' upon its treatment for results."-: ;':-:v Designs, however, are coming in from every section, most of these from men of Virginia birth or ancestry, If the competition has proven any on thing conclusively, it is that in ad dition to being highly' inventive the American is very much Virginian.
