The report, which has every evidence of being trustworthy, tli.it the line of iteamers now running between this city, Oriental and Elizabeth City, will be discontinued when the Raleigh & Pam lico Sound Railroad begins operations, is a matter of serious importance to the places where this lino of steameis now run and do business. The disconlinu ance of these river and sound steamers, if they are withdrawn, wil! mark a change in the passenger and freight trade, that cannot hut work commer cial hardships to many trade and busi ness interests of this section. The fact that the interests which have bought up timber lands, saw mills and railroads in Eastern Carolina, also control the a earn boats which run in the rivers and sounds of this same section, will in no way lessen the hardship. While the extend ed railroad lines will be able to develop a good deal of country, an I prove of great help to agricultural and industri al interests, there is also the need of lines of steamboats which shall touch at river and sound points for passen gers and freight. However, railroads may appear to cover territory, and give attention to carrying trade interests, they seldom meet the full trade demands. Public attention in Northern states is turning to the need of artificial waterways, wheie the natural water routes cannot be found. The people of New York have agreed to spend about $100, 000,000 upon widening and deepening the Eric canal, thus opening up of a water route for large craft from Duluth to tide water. The Pana ma canal, with its $2511,1)00,1)01) cost, is another example of what the people are willing to pay for water ways for com merce. It is often given as the reason for doing away with steamers between New Bern and Elizabeth City, that there are shoal places between the two cities. If there are, and they interfere, they can be removed. This is not the only water route with shoal places, that have been removed, and navigation made better. If the railroad plans arc carried out, as reported, New Bern, Oriental, Washington, Elizabeth City, and other river points, besides those on l- the Sounds, will have no regular boat or any kind of communication by water. There is a great deal of trade that a boat service might develop, locally, be V aides the regular through trade ship menta. Even with the present boat service, merchants are delayed in get ting freight. How is it to be possible ; that a railroad, which must be gotten 1 WW nutJU uruer, uciuru it uuu uu us fair service, is going to handle the business that this section now offers? 7 It is to be hoped fo the commercial interests of this section, that the steamboat service will not be with drawn, bat increased. DEMAND FUR VAGRANT LAW ENFORCEMENT. The case of the negro Harris at Ashe ' villa, with the horrors of his killing five men, and the hunt for the murder er, and his death, makes emphatic the demand for the strict enforcement of " ' the vagrant law in North Carolina. The enforcement of this la w will come nearer than anything else to the solution of the negro question, for it will separate lHthe colored citizen who works, who owns property, and is settled in a home, from the fellows of his race who are idlers, thieves and vagrants, - and not fasten upon the ordorly negro, the sins of every rascally negro, who eeni to uvo n me oi crime. " Observing the vagrant law by the of I'm - - i" Ccials of every town an.) city, would make impossible such a character as tbs Asheville negro. According to re- parts, this negro Harris, comes to the f ' y, with gun over lis shoulder, and inarches about the' streets as though he was in the woods, seeking game. It took very little to start the chain of horrors, which was ended by the death of Harris. The moral does not need to be point ed at Asheville. It can be applied to al most any town or city in the State, where the authorities do not enforce the vagrant law. Is every strange col ored man known, and his time account ed for? If without work, and a hanger around the streets, how many hours is such conduct going to be permitted '! It is up to the authorities of every town to know strangers, and particularly those who have no visible means of sup port One of two things should be giv en them to decide, leave at once or go to work, the only alternative being, in case of refusal, arrest and forcible la bor thrust upon them. It is through the idlers that crime comes. The worker has no time to think of crime, to seek mischief and plot against the community. Times are prosperous, but not so to warrant li cence to idelers anil vagrants. Some one has to psy the cost of tfie idlers' support, and this cost is added to win e, the idler becomes a depredator and criminal "The strict and impartial en forcement of the vagrant law will soon scatter the idle class, either to other states, or to a good working posit ion on the roads. DUTIES OF BETTERMENT LEAGUES If the Journal may be permitted to criticise, it would say, knowing the rea sons which prompted the organization of the local league, called Law and ( r der League, that the name is a misno mer, when the actual duties of the league are considered. The conception of some citizens on hearing the name, is that the purposes of the organiza tion are those of a vigilance commit tee. the members being in duty bound to act as spies and detectives, to look af ter the enforcement of all city ordi nances, to report violations of same, and to look after disorderly persons up on the streets. This would be the careless, first im pression, judging from the name. Itut logically, it is hardly to be supposed that fifty or one hundred or more citi zens are going to band themselves to gether for such purjMises. These are purely the functions of the city author ities, the looking after the rr.ainten ance of law and order. The purposes of the league have greater and greater intentions than doing de tective service for there are mat ters of local betterment that call for the best efforts of this local league. Local betterment leagues, whatever name they may take, are not new or ganizations in this country, for all progressive cities have established them. Perhaps local politi al anuses, which are certain to grow out of the continued municipal control of any polil ical organization, have caused many mil municipal leagues to be formed. Political control does not necessarily mean good lo cal government, no matter how much the party may pride itself on its own re spectability. Any continueil olliee holding by any political organization is sure to develop a set of perennial olliee holders, who cone to regard the ollices they hold as personal property, and themselves as no subjects for criticism or rebuke. In making greater cities, commer cially and industrially, socially anil moraily, a local league of business men can, if they will consistently work to gether, effect wonderful improvements.. No local board of councilmcn, have ever been so thoroughly equipped and up to date, that they could not be greatly helped by an active and intelligent local league of citizens. Not a month passes, but some matter of vital concern to business interests or tax payers, will come up, calling for adjustment through a local league. If no local league exists, the matter may be juggled along through the municipal authorities, but the effective force of a local league, only, will get the best results. In the establishment of the local league in this city, there should be a hearty and spontaneous joining of every citizen. It is not for politics or detec tive duty, that the league is organized. It is for every local betterment, that wise and patriotic .citizens may see needed, and a strong effort to secure and maintain the betterment. There is every reason for a large membership, for the greater the membership, the easier and greater the accomplishment, if locaj betterments'. N Cats 61 Pftstimsnla or Rtcord. We do not know of a single instance where a cough or cold resulted in pneu monia or consumption when Foley's Honey and Tar had been taken. It cures coughs and colds perfectly, so do not take chances with some unknown preparation which may contain oplaten, which cause constipation, a condition that retards recovery from a cold.
