THE DESPISED LAWYERS: - Dear Journal: - When the bill to establish "a special court for Craven county," was publish ed In your paper, it was my understand ing that the matter was for the voters to decide upon. " I understood v that Messrs Green and Nu'in who through public request,, saw thisj)ill put through the legislature, were doing so because of the public demand from citizens of Craven county. Of course I . in the "madding crowd' who declare-all law yers "scoundrels," but; reserve the opinion as to Craven's representatives, that while in the legislature, at least, they were not lawyers, therefore' for tha time not "scroundrela " Accepting this as true, I have held the bill s be ing the wish of citizens, 'not lawyers, but now I can neither hear nor read any'hing, but that the measure is one of the lawyers, by the lawyers and for the lawyers. That the lawyers trying to get it carried will then grab the of: fices connected with it, and holding the ob of Recorder will run the magistrat es out of their 'cosU thertby over whelming a local industry. That the St - licitor has become alarrred because of the danger of losing those "dear fees, wi ling to accept bo much from Craven, in lieu of the usual "giaboff," and this ic ing refused is now fighting the bill. And even the Superior court is threaten- d, if the lawers get the Recorder's lourt for the judge will have few ci sea t ) try, instead of a jail full of negroes, with those undorsirable citizens, the "blind tigers" softly purriig, just be yond the court's reach, protected by bonds that are renewed term after term But pardon this length. It is not clear, but how can one write clearly on such subject? Of course the lav. y era will be defeated next week, for it seems to me that instead of a Recorder's Court the vote should read "a bill to defeat the lawyers from getting an office." VOICE FROM THE COUNTRY. Powerful Bulla. During a debate upon the second reading of the Irish land bill In 1890 Lord Londonderry concluded a period with: "This, is the keystone of the bill. A're you going to kill It?" Sir Frederick Milner, speaking on the budget, said, "A cow may be drain ed dry, and If chancellors of the ex chequer persist In meeting every de ficiency that occurs by taxing the brewing and distilling industry they will inevitably kill the cow that lays the golden milk!" Lord Curzon "The interests of the employers and employed are the same nine times out of ten 1 will even say ninety-nine times out of ten!" Discussing Mr. Asqulth's licensing bill at a meeting at Shoredltch, a mem ber of parliament roused the audience to a frenzy of enthuslnsm by declaring that "the time has come to strip to the waist and tuck up our shirt sleeves !'

The last General Assembly appropri ated sixty thousand dollars for the ea tabliahment of a school for the feeble minded. This institution "will eventu ally be one of the largest of the State's institutions, and will possibly require the expenditure of five hundred thous and or one million dollars, there being two or three thousand persona in the State who are eligible for admission in such institution The committee in charge of locating the institution are seeking the best .-bids from towns or couunties desiring to secure the institu tion as will appear by reading the fol lowing notice sent to Representative R. A. Nunn: - "Notice is hereby given that on June 8th there wil',be a meeting of the board of trustees for the North Carolina School for Feeble Minded at the office of the President of the Board, Hon. J. Y. Joy ner, of Raleigh, V. C. to consider all bids for the location of said institution that may be made by towns, communi ties or counties. "All bids must be in writing accom panied by maps and toil and sanitary surveys, showing the location of lan1, water supply, drainage, creeks, rivers and railroads, in other words we wish to know when looking at the map exactly what we have without going to a great expense in sending committees to look at the lands. . . - . "We desire from 300 to 1000 acres of land, the more the better. However, any bid that a committee may desire to submit will be given careful considera tion. If a smaller acreage than is above suggested is submitted, it would be well to secure an option on the adjoin ing tract, so that the acreage might be brought up In the neighborhood of this amount The water supply and proper disposal of sewerage are matters of prime importance, and a location whe-e we eould not have a railroad siding would not be considered.

Deadly Snares Laid For Its Prey -toy the Glutton Sea, j- KENTISH KNOCK jS PITILESS. This TtaKhtrous Spot Is th Raal Davy Jen' Lacker No Hope For Vssssl or Man Whan Neptune Aska Toll at Thla Submarine Graveyard. . ' "Davy "Jones' locker," that perilous spot mention of which so often comes from the lips of sailors, is not shown on any ocean chart principally be cause u is not really a settled place, but if any ocean death trap-deserved the title It Is the Thames estuary. The British naval, authorities have a chart upon which la marked the posi tion of wrecks, shown by black dots. On this chart the Thames mouth tract Is a solid black spot. So numerous bare' been the wrecks the dots run together. The point where the black dots actually pile the one on the top of another is the Kentish Knock, and this Is the place among" all of the ocean danger spots that deserves the title of Davy Jones' locker.? At the Kentish Knock It is not keel shattering recks nor piercing points of eoraf that wreck the ocean travelers. It Is sand treacherous, clinging Band that grasps the doomed ship with a grip of steel and holds it firmly while the angry sea beats it to fragments. Many a vessel posted at Lloyd's as missing would be duly accounted for If the Knock sand would give up Its prey. "There is no hope for ship or man when Neptune asks toll at the Kentish Knock, for the nearest land Is twenty miles away and the nearest lifeboat at Margate, thirty miles dis tant. The sands "ot the ocean are far more dangerous than rooks. The sand banks extend over more space and therefore offer more points -of contact than the rocks, which usually rise In sleuder pinnacles. The waters flow over" the sands In smooth waves, and there are no warning breakers. Next to the Thames mouth tract In point of danger is the Hooghly, the snlt water river on which Calcutta stands. The most trying part of a large vessel's voyage from New York to Calcutta Is the last few miles of this calm river. In this strange stream, In windless weather and flat calm water, vessels have been lost dashed to pieces on the dreaded ever shifting sand banks by the force of the tides, The sands grasp the keel of the marked vessel and she stops. But the tide moves on with relentless force. snd the helpless ship Is carried over on her beam ends. She careens over find founders with all on board. One of the worst shoals In the Hooghly bears the name of James and Mary. This was the nanie of a great Indian merchant ship wrecked on the sunken sand banks. . Another danger point dreaded by the master mariner has neither sand nor rocks, but a great submarine water fall; In the English channel there is a point Just beyond the Shambles bank where there is a sudden drop In the sea bottom. The channel Udes sweep over the banks and down this sudden drop, creating rapids equal In fury to those of Niagara. The American ship Georgian foundered In Portland race, the name by which this danger point la known, and all hands went do wu with her. Ships bound to New York from Eu rope pass near a deadly hidden shoal which runs out from Sable Island, ly ing off Cape Sable, In Nova Bcotla. The anoal runs out . for. miles In five directions, like the fingers of a great band reaching eut for what It can destroy. . . When the gales blow heavy aeas boom upon the shoals with sufficient force to shatter the stancbest vessel afloat, and when the wind ceases the beaches are strewn with the bodies of those who have perished. The distance from the shore is too great and the surf too heavy for the life savers to reach a struggling vessel, and few lives are saved at this point Ten ves sels have been wrecked in this trap In a single week. -1 The rocky danger points In the ocean have; nearly- all been classified, and lighthouses have been erected on the most dangerous except one. There is no lighthouse on the Virgin rock, and there never will be. . . I f Out in the "mid-Atlantic this 'giant pinnacle rears Its head up from, the ocean floor and vainly seeks to reach the surface of the. sea. It is short 1 bv about eighteen . feet There rH stands, with its sharp point bidden by the ocean waves, waiting to pierce the bo' torn of some unsuspecting - vessel and send It down to Join the pile of ships' ribs and dead men's bones that Utter the floor around its base. ' The waves seem to be In league with the rock, for if a ,vessel of light draft trim to pass over Its head tbe waves drop It down Into a trough at tbe bot tom of which the point of tbe rock Is waiting to rip out Its keel.
