A Tobacco Wagon From Oxford. A tobacco wagon irom Uxlord came in yesterday selling plug tobrcco put up by toe Uxtord County r aimers Alliance Manufacturing Co., which is going out of business. It lias been running live years, but did not prove a success. The factory had a v.ry large quantity of tobacco on hand and Mr. Morris has been travelling through country as well as to the town m iking sales and deliver ing as he went. The closing out salo be gins about three months ago. Mistaken an to a Historical Fact. Somo of the telegrams sent out about Cleveland's hunting trip and the "Violet" covering part ol the course that Sir Waller Raleigh is supposed to have tailed when he entered what is now called Ocracoke Inlet and founded his ill-fated colony on Roanoke Island. The sendi r of the telegram is mistaken as to the lacls. Though Raleigh is the pioneer aud father of the first English set tlement on this continent, sending over several colonies, and though what lie did at Roanoke Island led to the settlement at Jamestown, Va., which vs the first permanent one, he, himself, never came lo North America he was not even in the waters of Ninth America. He visitid South America iu person, but not North America. Coming ami (Jolng- Reprcs.ntntive Rudolph Dufl'y, Onslow county came iu eu route to of his home. Rev. A. M.

Eleven Brothers and Sisters all Llv Ing and 174 Dependents. We tell elsewhere of remarkably flue planted oysteis which Capt Jas. Mason of Pillentary had in market yesterday. Ii, telling of the Captain's good oysters, it will not be amiss to tell something of himself and his interesting family. He is one of a family of eleven eight brothers and three sisleis, and they are all I ving. The voungest is torty-two years ol age. Tn3 captain is mo oldest be is seveutv-uve but lie is bate, nearly and strong; and can do as much work now as the average man of twenty. Two Tears a so the children, grand children- and great Igrjnd-cblldren of Capt. Mason and ins brothers and sisters were counted up and there were 174 ol them then (we are not infor- msd as to how many there are now) and i hey all live on the sea coast, getting their living from the waters, feasting on their fish, oysters and other products and enjoying the invigorating and health laden breezes. How does this show for North Carolina heultliiulness and longevity. Notice, Atlantic.

BEST OYSTERS OF THE SEASON. They Command a Price FIve.Tlme. aa CI real as Some Other, on t be Market Capt Jas. Mason, of Pillentary, on the banks, was up to the city with his oyster vessel, the Laviuia Thomas well, loaded. He had the finest planted oysters find have been on the market this season, and there was no troublcDin disposing ol them at a good price. Clysters have been so abundant lately that good ones were selling at thirty cents and small ones at only twenty cents per bushel; yet, so huge, fat and luscious were those of Capt. Mason's that they readily commanded one dollar a bushel. The captain evidently knows how to raise oysters. In reierencc to oyster legislation, Can- tiau Mason expresses himself as inflexibly opposed to allowing dredging anywhere by anybody, and he says his neighbors are ol the same opiuion. He declares it win destroy tuc oysters and bnug starva tion to those who still continued to de pend on them for ativing. He says the native oystermen do not want dredging it is new comers or out siders who advocate it that restrictions limiting it to citizens of the Slate will be evaded by sham sales of boats (pretended native owners and native captains) and that restrictions as to deep water dredging will be cvadeJ uy night work. OI K TELEGRAPH' REPORTS or the Legislative Proceedings and and Remarks Thereon. Throughout this session of the Legis'a- ture The Journal has given d-iily con- deused telegraphic reports of the proceed ings of the Legislature something that has not been done before since the Jour nal was first started here, at which time the regular dispatches were taken until it was found that the patronage would not make it pay to continue lluni It is our desire to make the Journal the very best paper that it is possible to pub lish in a place the size of New Berne and the more patronage we get, the belter the paper will be. i nere is not a business man or a pio- lessional man in the city who should not have at least Ins standing card in our col umns, and very few people indeed either in the city or any ol the neighboring coun ties whose names should not appear on our subscription books, cither Daily or Weekly, paid up in advance. It is lor the good of the advertiser, for the good of the subscriber and Ins laiuily, including even the children, tor the good ot the Journal and for the good of the whole community in general that this should be the cas. . Outsiilejpcople rightly judge of a place by its local paper and for that reason as well as for the direct benefit they get by reading it, it behooves every ciuzen to give the home paper nil the patronage possible, and to m.l in every way in mak ing it a good repnseniativc ol the com munity and Us interests. IMPROVEMENTS AT THE NEUSEE. Under Manager F. L. Perry. A Con venlent and Well Furnished Hotel. Several changes for the better are being made at Hotel Neusee by Mr. Fred L. Perry, who has just taken charge ot it as manager. The eastern room on the first floor which runs the full length of the building is having a partition put in. The front portion will lierealler serve as the onice It will b3 carpeted and neatly furnished. The rear portion, which is left larger than the front will hereafter be the din'mg room. The barber shop, which will continue lo have the same ex p. rts iu it as hereto fore has a'ready been moved into the nicely liuished aud well-lighted base ment. E The hotel lias been nwly equipped with oak furniture, the halls are nicely carpet-id, also the roomsr there are baih rooms, &c, on each floor, speaking tubas and call bells all over the house, and be sides the office there is a pleasantly fur- nished upper silting room with over a dozen windows on three sides to catch the passing b-eeze from every side. The Neusee is a cozy and centrally lo cated hotel, and Mr. Perry in taking charge declares his intention ot making it a good one in evi-ry way. 1 he past ex porience he has had along this line lor himselt and with his brother, the bite lamented, Mr. Benj. L. Perry at the tamou8 summer resort, tho Atlar.t.. Hotel, Morehead city, will stand him in good stead. We bp3 to see him get a good run ot profitable patronage. LOOKED OCT FOR THEMSELVES. All Offices Save One dlven to the Leg Islators or Their Relatives. Judging from the following slatement bv the Raleigh correspondent of the Wil mington Messenger the Legislature which ha just eDded its session was a him be. never in and practicar ol nepotism- "One of the most prominent Republ cans in the State said to me today: "Do you know that with tho exception of S. Otho Wilson, not a man has been elected to an office by this Legislature but a mem ber or a relative ol a member. ' "You ought not to criticize us too much," said a Rep Wednesday. "We did not appoint but 80 or 90 negro magis trates.' lt is another excuse ol "only little one." News & Obrerver. The Lighthouse Board gives notice that on March 6tb, 1895, the schooner Drift wa moored aa a light vessel about 24 feet of water on the west side Chesapeake bay, ani oft the south side entrance to ine fotomac river.

So Many Went Home When teased That Legislation Stopped. Pay Consequently the State Railroads Re main I'u touched Democrats Con tinue to Control the Penitentiary And Hold Threatened Offlres ttov. Carr's Bold Move. The Democrats were winners Wednes day. The Fusiouists were furious with impotent rage. There were several sur prises in store fur them during the day. They had resorted lo revolutionary pro ceedings, hitherto unknown in the history of the Stale, to make places lor their fol lowers, in the Penitentiary and State Library. They had parcelled out i la places to their sutislai tion. and after the caucus action of seleetiug the head meu, thought that they already had the pie in their mouths. But it now turns out that the disgrace ful proce: dings of Tuesday night were of no avail, and that the Fusiouists could not bag their game. They hud the "conn" quote the words of Henderson ol Wilkes; thev had :hc incliual on to 'Skin him," but their majority had, Arab-like, folded .their tents, and "stolen away'' home, upon the expiration of sixty days when their pay expired, and their in .rtisin schemes, for the want ot n quorum, failed. baffled on state libiiakian. The Fusiouists had passed a bill 1 1 I urn out the present Stale Librarian, and elect L. II. Sianlord, a clerk, m his sle.id. When the tellers reporter1 the vole, Stan ford, like Kitchin, had fallen to the bot tom of the well to keep him coinpinv. He received only 74 voles when 80 were necessity. W AItT AND COOK MUST WAIT AWHILE. Hie next surpnse that stiiinud the 'usiouist wax a communication from the rovernor appointing Hon. O P. M-nres Judge of the Eastern Criminal Circuit (Cook had been elected by the legislature) iiud lhos. A. Jones. Judge of the Wes- tern Criminal Circuit) Ewart had been elected by the Legislature ) This was an unexpected bomb that exploded, and scattered the Fusiouists in constrr.iation. It was the Governor's notice that he in tended to stand upon his constitutional right to appoint to all Judgeships, and to frustrate the scheme to foist Radical legis tors upon the bench in violation of ih. Constitution. Ewart was sj nervous all lay that he waddled about like a chicken with its head oil'. Cook is at home sick. and, ol course, his rage could not be seen. KITCHIN FALLS OUTSIDE T1IIC 1IKKAST- WOKKS. Capt. Buck Kitchin fell outside the breastworks. He wanted a job. He wanted it bad. lie spent sixty davs in Raleigh lobbying for it. lie finally got the caucus to agree to change the penitentiary law so that new Populist directors would elect him to' Mr. Leazars place us superintendent. PICTURE OF BAFFLED KAUK. The Republicans were not very anxious lor Captain Kitchin to have this job. and appoint Populists lo all subordinate posi tions in it. Ihree ol them told a Demo cratic meiiiljer that they would like to see kitchin deleated it it could be secietly done. The Republicans had already got ten their share of the spoils, an 1 their ardor to sx-ure a place for an ohjection- t opulist was not great. Ibeir pav had given out and tluir desiie to get home was greater than their de-ire lo give Kitchen und some others an office. And so. w hen the vcte lor directors ot the pen itentiary was taken, many members had gone home, and the new d rectors nceived onty 77 voles, while it required 80 votes to elect. When this tict became appar ent, the wrath of the Fusionists knew no bounds. They were consumed wuh im potent rage, and were beside themselves with disappointment, chagrin, and fury. Their faces presented a study of battled rage. 8TRUCK It AUD. When the tellers presented their report in the Senate the Lieutenaut Governor stated that there had I men no election. If he had hit Senator Rice in the face with a brick, that Senator could not have reeled more than he did wheu the signifi cance of the Lieut. Governor's p'a-n state ment was realized, lie gasped tor brctili, anil asked if the Senate, regardless ol the fact that less than a majoiiiv had voted, could not adopt a resolution dei hiri-ig the Fusiouists elected. Senator Puddisou took up the cold trail twice, and argued thai immemorial usage ought to be set aside, if necessary, to enable the Fusionists lo put in their caucus nominees. The Lieut Governor asked the Senator it he ould cite a pre edent iu any State in the I'nion tor the position he was contending tor. tie could not. He sat dowi', a sad.icr if not a wistr man. Speaker Walser, although he well knew there was no election, declined to so rule. Ue dared not rule that the Fu sionists had been elected, and lie was"not brave enough to render a decision that the Bosses did not want. BEN LACY DEM., COMES IN AHEAD. The next surprise was the continuation by the Senate of B. R. Lacy as Coinmis sioner of Labor Statistics. The caucus had decreed to abolish this oflice, but there had been some kicking. The Gov ernor did not send the appointment in until yesterday morning, and then, with no quorum, the Fusionists could not have repealed the law. Rejection of Lacy meant to leave the oflice unfilled and then the Governor could re appoint. With this state of affairs staring them in the face, the Fusionists trade a virtue of a necessity. Starbuck and Carver said it would be very unpopular to reject a me chanic, particularly since they were ap pealing for the labor vote. And so Ben. Lacyjike a brand paved from the burning, escaped, much to the satisfaction of all Democrats. STATR RAILROADS BKrOUCUED. The hungry ones who wanttd a chance to wreck, the A. and N. C.
