Now that the school season has just
re-opened it is not amiss to remind
the people that what is needed are
free school books. Many a father,
feeling the pinch of expenditure for
these books, will no doubt agree to
this proposition, and those parents
whose incomes are so large that they
do not feel the outlay, should appre
ciate the fact that even four or five
dollars spent by some laboring man,
means .deprivation for the little fam
ily; some of them have to spend, much
more. Often' times! children go for
days without books.
No doubt, warm-hearted people
would gladly furnish these books, but
there is such a thing as pride pos
sessed by the average man and wo
man and demands are not made. It
is not false pride either, as there
should be free .school books. It is
a matter of simple Justice; something
that is logical. Besides, money would
be saved by having the State purchase
the books.

Mr. Editor: ;
I want it thoroughly understood that
In all of my discussions In regard to
the, use of purse seines and the de
struction of the fish industry, there is
no intention on my part of trying to In
terfere or to criticise Menhaden fish
eries, who-use their seines for the catch
ing of Menhaden and no other fish.
The -Menhaden Fisheries, that have
been usinjg' their purse seines other
wise are the fisheries around More
head and that vicinity. For some years
there has been a law which made it a
fine of $500,000 to eaten edible fish in
purse seines for "any purpose in the
counties of Carteret, Onslow, Pender
andANew Hanover, add there is a law
also prohibiting them from being
caught with purse seines for any pur
pose, in the waters of Brunswick coun
ty. My purpose in agitating the purse
seine question is not only to show how
destructive the purse seine is on the
f edible fish, but also to show the next
legislature how unwise it was to give
the fish 'commissioners more power
than the Supreme Court of .North Car
olina. The Supreme Court can only an
nul a law when it comes In conflict
with the Constitution, but the fish com-
tnissioners have been, given thet power -
fp destroy if -they see "fit, every law
that the legislature tor year has been
erecting around the Fish Industry for
its ' protection, as follows :

in Wilmington the year that the fish

when it burns, leaves behind a cer

in the torm of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ali
mentary organs a certain.. amount of
indigestible material, which if not

which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are In

your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon

teafspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, which is a harmless means of wash
