The Jewish people are celebrating the world over today," for this is Rosh Hashanah or the Jewish New Year. The real celebration began yesterday evening, however, since from Bible usage the days are counted from sunset to sunset. The more orthodox members of this sect wiirobserve Fri day as well as today. . ; - The- custom of observing an addi tional holiday, in connection with the more important Jewish holidays, is a custom that was established long ago and one that grew, out of complex conditions in the caiendation of early rabbinical times, although the origi nal reason no longer obtains.' The re formed Jews, however, will celebrate on the day that is scripturally pre scribed. ; The date of -this festivity varies, ac cordin to the modern calendar.. It always falls upon the first day of the Jewish month of Tishri, and the New Year that is ushered in today, accord ins to traditional caiendation of the Jews, is the year 5677. The Jewish New Year is unlike our ew Years and is regarded not as a holiday, but as a holy day. It is cel ebrated by solemn services, both morning and seving. The day, in fact, is devoted to retrospection, in trospection and the laying of plans for the future. According to ancient tradition the souls of men assemble before the divine tribunal. Accord ing to belief the .Great Recording Book lies open today and the indi vidual destinies are set down, but, and this is the significant element in tbe conception, the awards in eacn care musTTje" sealed by the person himself, meaning that the varying is sues of, the new year, though they proceed from God's providences, no cne's future is determined apart from what he -is hims"el&y From this con ception has grownifhe greeting that is exchanged on this day and which means practically the same as our greeting of Happy New Year, "Lesho cnah tovah ti-kasevu." On of the quaintest features of the celebration of Rosh Hoshanah is the blowing of the Shofar or Ram's Horn. Services will be conducted at the Temple of Israel Synagogue here this evening at 6 o'clock and tomorrow at 11 a. m. EYES ON WILMINGTON. Fender Citizens Urges Th?.t Proposed Packing House be Built. A Pender county citizen has the fol lowing to say about the proposed pack; ing house that is to be erected In Wilmington: ' All eyesare on Wilmington. The farmers of this entire section are anxiously waiting to see if a market for live stock is to be established in New Hanover county. "The farmers want a market. Thfey feel very keenly the. need of a market and it is up to , the Wilmington mer chant to see that they get it. As the farmers thrive and flourish so will the merchants and it is impossible for one to advance or go forward without the other. ' ' - -V "The Almighty poured out his bless ings K'ars ago hen he gave to this entire eastern, section of North Caro lina every naturaladvantage for the raising of tack "Wilmington would have been more up-to-date if she had established a packing house 25 years ago. and the results would have stim ulated every line of business. ,,This immediate section would have been in a class with the, great west and mid dle west by 'reason of stock raising and the',ii versification of crops. One packing plants will do more for this section than ten. cotton mills, or any other industry,. because it will reach out and make thousands of farmers prosperous and independent. Mr. merchant, give the farmers a market and you will reap direct benefits." REV. MR. CROWLEY APPOINTED. ttecran tca. Will Preach Once ar Month at the Too-tnd sail Presbyterian Church.

Fish Dealers'Say The .Use -Purseine Killing The m . , MuHet; Industry". ' ' J- ? The scarcity' of mullets is' causing Uneasiness among , lpcal fish dealets -and the assertion is made by men; in eiose touch, with the fish industry that fewep mullets are "to be "had now than at any period during the past thirty years'. The natural result is that two prices are charged for-the Ditiful Klinnlv that wholesale fish ftealer, only one dart-' Congressman Godwin and A. ;L. load of mullets has been brought to McOaskill, Esq., were slated for a de the' city this week and they, were I b.ate 4 Shallotte in the eyening but sold to hucksters for 18, cents ?i wben. Uhey, learned that Mr. ' Glenn bunch an almost 'unheard of nric could ot fill his engagement they The extensive use of mirsp. spina by "fish pirates" :off the Eastern 'Car olina coast is the chief explanation advanced by men, in close touch with the fish industry. gome of them de clare that if . the use of purse .seines us not abolished the fish industry can- noc survive. According to one gen tleman the purse- seine is employed by unscrupulous fish, speculators who are looking for enormous,: profits in a season and care nothing about pre serving the fish industry to future generations. The gentleman com pared the purse seine V'users ''to those who ruthlessly cleared , the Western plains of buffaloes f cV their hides, leaving the carcass to rot where the animal was shot down. According to him the same policy is being pur sued by "pirate fishermen," and he added further that the result ingoing to be identical. Mr. Fergus , explained the purse seine as, a net that catches everything from a mullet minnow to a roe mullet. According to him the mullet does not venture near the coast as a rule and the legitimate or stationary nets' showing so far as mullets are con cerned is decidedly poor. The purse seine is the only net yet devised man that utterly destroys the mullet, according to Mr. Fergus. It is used in deep-sea water ' and. the mullet is given no chance at all. It is -like fir ing into a covey of birds when they are huddled on the ground. .. The purse seine has-been used extensive ly during " the past ten or twelve years, according .to. Mr. Fergus, and the mullet industry is singing its swan song, in his opinion. Mr. Fergus declfled that, one purse seine caught 70,66b pounds' of mullets off the Cape Fear bar last fall at one strike. This gives one a pretty good idea of what purse seine fishing amounts to and sirifiaV the result will inevitably be. - It . the ; use of purse seines are stopped immediately the mullet industry .will revive and per haps again attain the position rit , on$e occupied, but unless such" comes ;$o pass in the immediate future the mul let industry feiji thing of the past..'

It was indeed a rate treat to have Brother Sullivan with us in our rleeting. I think that those who know me, know that I am not very badly afflicted with a disease that some people I know seem to have right bad, that is either blowing their own horn or that of some other fellow. I do want to say with regard to Brother Sullivan, what I am sorry, that I, can't say about some other brother pastors that , I know, and that is, that when he goes to help a fellow in a meeting if he does not leave both pastor and people stronger in the Lord, and. more loyal to each other than, it is not his fault. Brother Sul livan is not paying me a thing in the world to say this, nor am I expecting him to recommend me to another field, because. I am not yet wanting to leave where 1 am.
